Chapter 183 - Valiant Battle (I)

Thank you ChrysAmans for the support—Bonus Chapter (2/10)

“Is this place fine, Dr. Hong?” Several workers from the moving company quickly crammed furniture and other things into the room, but the room was not very big, and the living room soon became packed.

The workers from the moving company could help assemble the furniture, but as for the other scattered objects, they had to deal with it themselves.

Hong nodded, took his wallet out from his pocket and began to tip them one by one. He was very generous. Several bearded workers touched their heads and were embarrassed to refuse. They accepted happily. The last worker from the moving company looked curiously at the child beside Hong and asked:

“Dr. Hong, is this your son?”

Hong lowered his head and looked at the child who was holding his clothes. The child had a drowsy expression on his face that showed he had yet to completely wake up. He had been this way since he had gotten up in the morning. He also opened his mouth and yawned from time to time.

“No, he’s not my son. I’m not married yet.” Hong reached out and touched the child’s head. “This is my master.”

The workers did not think it was the truth and only thought Dr. Hong was joking. They laughed as they left. When everyone from the moving company was gone, there were only two people and a pile of miscellaneous things left in the room.

Hong gazed helplessly at the pile of sundries and sighed, knowing that he would have to do all the work. He rolled up his sleeves in agony and merely stepped forward to clean it up. However, he felt his clothes tighten, and the child next to him still refused to let go of the hem of his clothes.

“Ah Jian, are you awake? I have to work on this. Let go of my hands... ”

Hong had been rushing about these few days. His voice sounded faint and weak, and his nerves were constantly in a tensed state. However, in reality, there were still large and small things to deal with. Even for such a patient doctor like Hong, he also felt it was unbearable.

But he knew that the child was no better than him.

Luo Jian rubbed his eyes and murmured in dissatisfaction, “Don’t tidy up. Go to bed first.”

“I have to go to work tomorrow, and if I can’t deal with this today...... But you can go to bed first. I’ve prepared your bed in advance.” Hong reluctantly rubbed the child’s head. This child...... It was as if he had not grown for several years. Hong did not know whether it was the limitation of this body or if there were other reasons behind this.

Under Hong’s urging, the child stepped back into the room and went to sleep, the sleep lasting until the afternoon. Hong also sorted out the sundries they brought here after they moved. He was so tired that his head was dizzy, and he could see stars spinning around him. Afterwards, he headed into his room and collapsed on his bed in a muddle-headed way.

And at this time, Luo Jian had just woken up.

The time allocated to sleep was very precious. Luo Jian did not often sleep well. Every day, when not in a life-or-death battle, he was either chasing people to kill them or being chased by people who wanted to kill him. The secret chamber assigned him all kinds of inexplicable tasks every day. But speaking of this, it was still fine for Luo Jian, who was rather fond of fighting.

However, if he could take a day off occasionally, of course, he would prefer to take a walk outside.

As Luo Jian thought of this, he went out.

Clown had just moved to this city, bringing him along. For him, this was a familiar city because it was his hometown.

Maybe I can head to take a look at my parents’ home?

Luo Jian thought as he immediately got right to work, carrying an umbrella as he traversed through the streets until he came to his parents’ old abode, only to find that his parents were not at home.

At the same time, he also stood in front of his old home, seeing a familiar but strange figure.

It was Luo Jian himself.

No, it should be his past self.

In the past, Luo Jian hesitated for a long time in front of his house. He did not notice that he was standing at a place not far behind him. Abyss looked at him, holding an umbrella, and could vaguely feel how Luo Jian felt at that time. He had not seen his parents for a long time, so when he went home for the first time after being driven away, he was inwardly full of anxiety.

But soon he would be disappointed.

Grandpa Wu, the neighbor he had in his hometown, came out and said something to Luo Jian. Luo Jian was stunned for a moment, nodded to Uncle Wu, and turned to leave.

Abyss also followed Luo Jian and left. He knew that Luo Jian was going to his uncle’s house. It was not far away from where they were from now. After walking past about two streets, he would be able to reach there. However, he passed by a person who he unexpectedly saw on the road.

Abyss held the umbrella and looked at the man who carried a big guitar bag and kept his hood down. He pursed his lips.

The man seemed to notice Abyss sweeping his gaze past him. He stopped walking momentarily and turned his head to glance at Abyss, but when he turned his head, he only saw the crowd behind him.

Was this a misconception?

Someone was looking at me just now.

Luo Feng frowned slightly, and there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He was a person who had signed a lifetime contract with the secret chamber. Logically speaking, in reality, no one could see him, and the only people who could see him were—this kind of ominous premonition made Luo Feng stop moving forward, turn around, and walk back.

At another place, Luo Jian had already gone to his uncle’s house, and after hesitating for some time, he finally bravely knocked on the door of his uncle’s house. He was soon welcomed in by his mother, who opened the door, and the door was soon closed.

Abyss stood neither far nor near to watch. This was the first time he had seen his mother after so many years. Unfortunately, he only looked at her from afar and only saw her side view.

In fact, as long as Abyss wished to, there were many ways to head inside. He could go into the house with dignity and look at his relatives at a close distance. However, Abyss did not do so. He felt that he was not qualified to do so. After all, he had already abandoned Luo Jian’s identity and become another person.

“What’s the point of seeing or not seeing? It’s no longer mine.” Abyss’s lips crooked up into a sarcastic smile, and he turned around and was just about to leave when he suddenly stopped again. He raised his head up and saw Luo Feng casting glances left and right with his huge guitar bag on his back, standing on the street opposite him.

Although he knew that the opportunity was slim, Luo Feng also tried to find the source of the gaze that was watching him. He always had the misconception that a person who was watching him did not stray far away from here. Only, people were coming and going in this big street. Luo Feng, standing in the crowd, was at a loss.

Was it still a misconception?

Just as Luo Feng was thinking about it, a voice nearby rang out:

“Are you looking for something?”

Luo Feng was stunned for quite some time before he turned his head. However, he found a very short child standing in front of him, but he did not see the child’s face because the child actually held an umbrella bigger than himself on such a sunny day.

“You are...?”

Luo Feng was slow to react for a moment before he realized that the child might be a player just like him. Otherwise, how could he talk to him and see him? It was just that the child looked too young.

However, it was strange that the child only said such a sentence before he carried on with what he was doing and walked around Luo Feng as he walked away, holding an umbrella. Luo Feng looked at the child’s back inexplicably. He had no reason to catch up with him. The other party obviously did not want to talk to him.

Luo Feng did not think much and left slowly with his bag on his back.

But the next day, Luo Feng still came to the neighborhood. He sat on a public bench, full of expectations as he stared at that ordinary shop located at that street. The uncle who opened the store may be someone who he had forgotten in his memories, and this person always strangely made Luo Feng feel that he was familiar.

However, Luo Feng was somewhat surprised when he saw the child who had said a sentence to him yesterday still holding his extremely big umbrella, standing on a nearby sidewalk.

However, under the strong hypnotic effect of the umbrella, Luo Feng soon forgot about the red umbrella and the child. When Luo Jian came to talk to him, he had completely forgotten that he had spoken to the child before.

Although Luo Feng had forgotten about the child, Luo Jian was still keenly aware of something. He could not help but look at the street opposite him. Under the traffic light, the child was holding an umbrella bigger than himself with his head tilted and his eyes fixed on him.

Luo Jian felt his heart beat violently. He wanted to go to the child’s side, but a truck slowly passed by the road, blocking his sight. After the truck completely passed by, the child had disappeared completely.

It felt like a scene from a dream, yet it also felt that he misconceived it.

Luo Jian dazedly thought about it. He had no alternatives but to turn his body to speak to his uncle. At that very moment when he turned his body, he had already thrown the issue regarding the child back to the depths of his mind, so he didn’t know that the child was still standing behind him.

The other Luo Jian was still standing there.

“Great, it’s about time. We can start now,” Luo Jian said to himself, “There is only room for success, no room for failure.”

“Ah, let me join a team?” Clown...... also known as Hong, had just gotten up from the bed and scratched his head, which looked like a chicken’s nest. He said in agony, “Ah, you really won’t give up unless you torment me to death.”

“It’s something I’ve been saying since a long time ago. How am I tormenting you?” Luo Jian sat solemnly on the bed, curling up his legs, and in his chest, he hugged the thirteen Confucian scriptures as he taught Clown a lesson.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t torment me!” Clown looked like he was going to cry. He replied weakly, “I’ve been tortured by you every day for so many years. And due to this, when I’m working, I can’t concentrate well. Until now, I’m still a nobody, a little doctor!”

Luo Jian frowned a little, bowed his head, and said solemnly, “We are the ones who will accomplish great things......”

“Stop! I’m fed up with that. Don’t say such old and decrepit things with such a lovely child’s appearance!” Clown scratched his head that looked like a chicken nest hard, “OK, OK, I’ll listen to you. You’re the boss!”

At last, Luo Jian was a little satisfied and showed a smile. When he laughed, his feelings of gloominess were swept away, and he really looked like a child. Clown was pleased with that as he stared at Luo Jian because his only joy during these hellish years was derived from seeing this child act cute.

However, this little boy was also the main cause of his hellish life. And now, he immediately threw a note to Clown. Clown touched the note and found it was an invitation to join a team.

“It will be good if you keep your current status quo after entering the team. I’m afraid you’re the best at acting as an incompetent person who will incur odium.”

Clown felt that he was so angry now that his mouth and nose were about to be crooked. “When exactly can I get rid of such an image? It’s as if I’m really a clown......”

“From the beginning, you were a clown.”

“It’s just make-up!” Clown was discontented and went ballistic as he rolled around his bed, “I strongly protest; compensation must be given! My image has been destroyed by you, ahhhhh!”

Luo Jian sighed speechlessly. Over the years, this fool still had not had his ‘foolishness’ cured. So Luo Jian reached out his claws and pressed them on Clown’s face.

Clown got excited, grabbed Luo Jian’s claw, and began to rub at it. After a while, he kneaded it again.

Hand fetish perverted pedophile.

He liked hands a lot, especially if they were very small hands, but normally, one could not see how abnormal this person was...... Uh, actually, he was not too abnormal. At least Clown was a person who could restrain himself. In addition, this fellow not only liked the hands of children but also the claws of cats and dogs, especially those meaty paws. To him, they were so cute that he would collapse on the floor and wouldn’t be able to get out.

As expected, such behaviour was still abnormal!

Luo Jian stretched out his hand and let Clown roll around in excitement. At last, Clown was so excited that he finally could not bear it. He did not manage to catch his breath and directly lay on the bed, suffocating.

Luo Jian retracted his hand and glanced at Clown, who was already foaming at the mouth.

However, when it comes to battles, he was still reliable.

T/N: Sorry, this might be a little unclear in the text but I would like to clarify that the stalker who wiped out XY’s team was not LJ! As for who it is, it will be revealed in the later chapters! And LJ was merely a stalker that wiped out other teams in the final test, not XY’s team. ^^
