Chapter 114: [113] I'm here to be a bodyguard, not to go on a blind date!

After the incident, Cheng Han apologized to the little girl, Qingqing, "I'm sorry, Qingqing, I'm afraid I can't go see the Feather Beast with you today."

Qingqing looked disappointed, but she was understanding, "It's okay! Let's find another opportunity."

Cheng Han thought for a moment and suggested, "How about you come with me to the outpost later and see my daily work environment?"

It wouldn't be good to take her out and then immediately send her back home.

Since the outpost didn't prohibit family members... well, it wouldn't hurt to bring a friend over to play.

Qingqing instantly became happy, "Okay!"

After a while, a group of patrol officers hurriedly arrived at the scene.

This place was under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Outpost, so naturally, the people were from that outpost.

Cheng Han introduced himself, "Everyone, I'm Cheng Han from the Sixth Outpost. I just killed this monster. Please take it away."

As the saying goes, "A person's name casts a shadow like a tree."

When the group of people heard this, they all turned to look.

In their eyes, there was a sense of astonishment.

The leader of the patrol officers responded politely, "Okay! We will send it over later."

Cheng Han nodded in acknowledgment and rode his bicycle, taking Qingqing away.

Behind them, snippets of conversation drifted in the wind.

"He looks too young!"

"The guy who called the police earlier said someone threw something a few dozen meters away and killed the monster. I didn't believe it at first, but it turns out it was Cheng Han. He's really amazing!"

"I feel like I've lived my whole life on a dog."

"Woof~"

The barking of the spiritual hounds carried a clear sense of displeasure.

On this side, Qingqing looked surprised and asked in a low voice, "Cheng Han, are you very famous in the patrol office?"

Cheng Han answered honestly, "Inside the entire patrol office, including the headquarters and all the outposts, there probably aren't many people who have heard of my name."

Not just a few, but none at all.

His deeds of killing the "Tree Phantom" with a single swing, single-handedly predicting the source of the "Phantom Sound," and overpowering the outpost leader had long been widely spread in the patrol office.

Now, which patrol officer didn't know the name of the high school student patrol leader?

But Qingqing spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "You were already amazing!"

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the outpost on their bicycles.

The three spiritual hounds guarding the gate saw a stranger approaching and looked at Cheng Han with inquisitive eyes.

Cheng Han introduced, "This is a very good friend of mine. Say hello to her!"

"Woof! Woof!"

The three spiritual hounds came over, greeted Qingqing, and wagged their tails.

Among the group of dogs at the outpost, Cheng, the patrol leader, had an extraordinary reputation, comparable to Liu, the outpost leader.

The young girl had a beautiful smile on her face as she took the opportunity to play with the dogs.

This was a rare chance for ordinary people, and she naturally wouldn't miss it. She could proudly show off after playing with three spiritual dogs and return to school.

The dogs didn't resist, but instead actively cooperated.

Soon enough...

Liu Yidao arrived.

The sergeant looked at Cheng Han and then at Qian Qingqing, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Master Cheng, there's a major incident happening in the city, and you still have the mood to bring your girlfriend to the outpost. Could you please show a little more concern, sir?"

Cheng Han glanced at the sergeant and smiled, "On my way to the Chamber of Commerce earlier, I happened to kill a spider monster. I'll have the body sent over later."

Liu Yidao's face lit up with excitement, "Well done, young man!"

He then looked at the young girl and showed a warm smile, "Miss Qingqing, welcome to the outpost!"

Qian Qingqing blinked her beautiful eyes and politely replied, "Thank you, Sergeant!"

The young girl suddenly realized that being Cheng Han's companion seemed to hold a very high status at the outpost, even the sergeant was polite to an ordinary person like herself.

*

Four hours later...

The situation escalated completely.

Four more people were killed.

The victims were all from the upper class of society, and their cause of death was the same - their heads were bitten off by a giant spider, and then the spider walked around the streets.

The Council of Ministers was furious.

High-ranking officials and wealthy merchants were all feeling insecure.

Given the severity of the situation, the Black Armor Army urgently dispatched ten six-person squads to key positions within the city, closely monitoring suspicious activities.

The atmosphere in the city was highly tense, as if a storm was about to come.

As the agency responsible for maintaining public security, the Patrol Office naturally faced tremendous pressure.

All personnel's vacations were canceled, and the patrol officers' duty hours were temporarily extended from ten to fourteen hours.

Liu Yidao reported a piece of news, "The headquarters highly suspects that the culprit behind the spider beheadings is a follower of a deity called 'Yomu'."

"The headquarters has issued a reward order specifically, promoting any patrol officer who discovers any related clues to the next rank and rewarding them with five gold coins."

Cheng Han wasn't surprised by this.

The giant spider's body bore traces of puppetry and carried the aura of eternal night. These were all deliberate clues left behind, and the authorities couldn't possibly not suspect Yomu.

According to the deduction results, the headquarters detected traces of a potion from the bodies and have organized a group of people to investigate.

In any case, everything was within his plan.

But there was a slight deviation.

Liu Yidao immediately announced another measure, "The headquarters has decided to assign a group of personnel to protect important individuals in the city in order to stabilize public sentiment."

In other words, bodyguards.

And the ones being protected were naturally a group of influential and powerful individuals.

Cheng Han made a quick calculation and twitched the corner of his mouth.

The result showed that he was assigned a bodyguard mission.

As expected.

Liu Yidao spoke, "The headquarters has directly drafted the list this time. Cheng Han, Zhang Haofang, you will be responsible for protecting the president of the 'Xin Cheng Chamber of Commerce' and his family... Jiang Man, Qi Yi, you..."

After Liu finished reading the list, he added, "The protection period is tentatively set for three days."

Cheng Han shook his head slightly.

This boring job is such a waste of time!

That night, Cheng Han met the protected person.

The other party was a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance, close to fifty years old, named Chen Tiannan.

Cheng Han looked around at the twelve members of the family with an official attitude, "For the sake of your safety, please do not leave this house for the next three days."

Chen Tiannan cooperated quite well, "Thank you, Chief Cheng, for your inspection."

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly whispered, "Isn't he too young?"

This woman was Chen Tiannan's youngest daughter, Chen Xiuzhi, who had a beautiful appearance and was dressed in elegant clothes, which could barely be considered pleasing to the eye.

Chen Tiannan quickly reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense, Chief Cheng is the best inspector of the Sixth Outpost."

Chen Xiuzhi muttered, "But he looks even younger than me."

Not only her, but several others also had strange expressions.

Cheng Han couldn't be bothered to explain and just lightly stomped his right foot.

"Bang!"

The sound was very light.

But in the ears of Chen Tiannan's family, it sounded like thunder.

"Boom!"

Not only that, the whole house also shook violently, as if it would collapse into ruins in the next moment, and they also swayed along with it.

It was the eleventh form of the Jiuyuan Strong Body Technique - the Yindan Form.

According to the interpretation of Jiuyuan, Yindan is the spiritual orifice among the three orifices of spirit, soul, and body, and this form directly targets the spiritual source of the human body.

"Ah~"

Chen Xiuzhi screamed, her face pale with fright.

Including Chen Tiannan, the others were also greatly shocked.

Even another inspector, Zhang Haofang, was affected by the mental shock and his posture became somewhat unstable.

"Alright!"

Cheng Han shouted lightly.

The illusion of the family disappeared instantly.

But they still had pale faces.

The scene just now left a deep impression on them.

Cheng Han didn't boast, calmly saying, "Please believe that we have the ability to ensure the safety of this house."

Chen Tiannan forced a smile, "I have heard of Chief Cheng's reputation, and I fully believe in this."

Cheng Han nodded to him and said to himself, "I'll go back to my room first. If you find any abnormal situations, feel free to come and find me."

The Inspection Bureau sent people to be bodyguards, so this family didn't dare to be negligent and specially cleared two rooms as their restrooms.

After he left, Zhang Haofang exaggeratedly talked about Chief Cheng's various deeds, "Chief Cheng is amazing, far beyond what you all can imagine..."

After he finished speaking, the family was like listening to a legendary story.

Chen Xiuzhi couldn't believe it, "Really? Chief Cheng is really younger than me?"

She was currently in the fifth grade of the Eighth Middle School and was indeed two years older than Cheng Han.

Zhang Haofang nodded, "That's right!"

Chen Tiannan sighed, "Truly a young hero!"

His wife was deeply moved, "Impressive!"

Five minutes later.

"Thud! Thud!"

The door was knocked.

Chen Xiuzhi walked into the room with a large plate of fruit, trying her best to show her most beautiful smile, "Chief Cheng, I washed some fruit for you."

Cheng Han could see at a glance that this girl had more than just a casual interest in him.

He felt speechless.

What's going on here?

I came here to be a bodyguard, not to go on a blind date!

At midnight.

Cheng Han looked at the various pastries on the table and sighed helplessly.

These were made by Chen Xiuzhi, Chen Tiannan's wife, and the old mother of the association president, who worked together.

He knew very well that he had caught the attention of this family.

What kind of mess is this!

Late at night.

Cheng Han began to implement the second phase of the plan.

The first phase was to create a highly tense atmosphere.

At this moment.

He planned to make a breakthrough in a "point-to-point" manner.

Cheng Han smiled slightly, "Mr. Priest, please enjoy the fireworks I have carefully prepared."

He had deduced the specific movements of the Life Priest, but unfortunately, this guy was extremely cautious and had never been to any suspicious places.

Cheng Han had no choice but to rely on official means to exert stronger pressure.

He really wanted to know how the Life Priest would react in the face of an unprecedented crisis.

In the western part of the city.

"Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by a series of loud noises, mushroom clouds of intense heat suddenly rose up from the ground.

Bright flames instantly illuminated the night sky of the western district.

This was the "remote-controlled high-explosive bomb" that Cheng Han had secretly arranged a day in advance.

The initial concept of this technique came from the knowledge obtained from the Ice Charm's analysis.

After several improvements, especially the high-end knowledge obtained from peeping at the Divine War, the power of the high-explosive bomb was greatly enhanced.
