Chapter 172: Chapter 139: Acts of Chivalry (Five-in-One for Monthly Pass and Subscription)_4

The warning quickly spread through word of mouth among the soldiers and stirred up a ripple in a corner of the Mirror World.

...

After returning to the present world, Lin Xing looked over himself and nodded slightly, "No blood on me."

At the same time, the orchestrators behind the robbery were on his mind, "One of the nine major sects, the Zhou Tian Sect?"

Soon after, Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi stepped out of the mall’s main entrance together.

The armed police standing guard outside immediately turned their attention to them, followed by one, then two... progressively more people began to applaud.

With a smile, Lin Xing looked at the people around him and felt the fog of the Object Manipulation Skill in his mind seemed to have absorbed a small part more.

Suddenly, Lin Xing noticed Jing Shiyu not far away, making eye gestures at him and Bai Yiyi.

He quickly realized what she meant and opened his mouth somewhat stiffly, "You are the real heroes."

From a distance, Jing Shiyu gave him a thumbs up, as if to encourage Lin Xing.

Then, the applause seemed to grow even warmer, and Lin Xing, with Bai Yiyi in tow, headed toward where Jing Shiyu was.

Suddenly, flashlights sparked to life, and a throng of reporters flocked toward them.

"Lin Xing! Bai Yiyi! Look this way!"

"Were you fighting the enemies of the Mirror World today?"

"Can you answer a few questions?"

Lin Xing gave an awkward smile, unaccustomed to the scene before him.

But Bai Yiyi, facing the cameras of the crowd, excitedly said, "Today’s opponents were a gang of utterly vicious criminals. They invaded the real world multiple times, having killed more than a hundred people. They’re extremely dangerous."

"Just now, Lin Xing and I snuck into the mall and faced their fierce resistance."

"However, we finally subdued them and successfully rescued the hostages."

A reporter asked, "Do you have anything you want to say to everyone?"

Lin Xing spoke, "The enemies of the Mirror World are extremely dangerous. To minimize losses, I hope everyone will actively cooperate with the authorities in prevention and control..."

After a speech that encouraged and affirmed morale, Lin Xing escorted Bai Yiyi into the limousine.

Leaning against the seat, Lin Xing felt the fog over his Object Manipulation Skill dissipate once more.

On the other side, Jing Shiyu, watching her cellphone screen, said contentedly, "You did well; you’re now trending all over the internet, and the numbers are rising fast."

Saying this, she looked up at Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi, "How did it go? You’re not hurt, are you?"

Bai Yiyi casually replied, "We didn’t encounter any second-pass masters. We dealt with them easily."

She fiddled with her clothes, "But my clothes are torn again! Can you get me something that won’t rip so easily?"

Jing Shiyu nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, I’ll think of something."

"The mastermind behind the scenes is from the Zhou Tian Sect," Lin Xing inquired. "What do you know about this sect?"

Jing Shiyu explained, "The Zhou Tian Sect is a southern crime behemoth. They don’t have a Sect Leader, only an elder council. The highest authority is known as the six Great Elders."

With a sigh, Jing Shiyu said, "The Zhou Tian Sect has always dealt with various human trafficking and pill trades. It’s said they control many masters with drugs."

Lin Xing frowned, "I think the Zhou Tian Sect might not give up so easily. Is the government not planning to deploy troops there?"

Jing Shiyu shook her head, "Xia Country plans to focus on the Mirror World’s main operational locations, especially the territories corresponding to West Sea City."

"As for other places, it won’t just deploy troops whenever someone attacks."

"The Mirror World is a world almost the same size as the real world."

"According to your people, occupying such a vast depth and continuously waging security and anti-terrorism wars... it will only result in a quagmire."

"Besides, your people are worried about the potential psychological pollution from the Mirror World’s environment, fearing that your soldiers staying there too long might go insane..."

Lin Xing also felt the difficulties and complexities of the situation; he looked out the window and saw many closed shops and people moving furniture and luggage.

As the relocation plan continued to unfold, more and more places would gradually become ghost towns.

After returning to Block C, Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi entered the building and saw many caregivers and security guards applauding them, their gaze filled with admiration—it was clear they had all seen the various news online.

Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi waved at them before heading back to the ward.

One caregiver remarked as they watched the two walk away, "Who would’ve thought our patients here are unmatched experts, who went out and did such a big deed, saving so many people."

Another caregiver said, "What nonsense are you speaking? Didn’t the doctor tell you? These two aren’t patients; that was just a disguise. They are here to cooperate with the supernatural research and incidentally to keep those Mirror World madmen in check here at the hospital."

"What a relief that East Sea City is one of the five central cities; we don’t have to relocate and still have this iron rice bowl job."

The caregiver sighed, "I heard the smaller cities are in a tough spot after relocating. Many couldn’t find any job in the central cities. People who used to be teachers can now only deliver food..."

After returning to their ward, Bai Yiyi immediately asked Zhao Wanxi, "My good disciple, did you enjoy watching your master’s elegance online today?"
