Qi Lin Was Shot

Night fell in the blink of an eye.

Inside the police hall, Qi Lin was telling Jiang Ming about Liu Chuang's lawlessness that afternoon. Even in the police station, he had shown no restraint and had actually dared to harass her. If it had been allowed, Qi Lin would have wanted to shoot him dead on the spot. It was infuriating. She also said fiercely to Jiang Ming, "This time, we absolutely have to keep him locked up for another ten days or half a month. Make that guy who ignores police order reflect properly."

Seeing this, Jiang Ming also felt a surge of anger. If it were not inconvenient to expose himself, he would definitely have taught Liu Chuang a lesson. He had actually dared to harass his woman—was he tired of living? He would put this score on the tab for now and find a chance to give him a beating later to vent Qi Lin's anger. Then he smiled at Qi Lin. "Calm down, calm down. Don't be angry. Liu Chuang's an old hand at this; getting mad isn't worth it. There'll be plenty of chances to deal with him later. By the way, what do you want for dinner? I'll go outside and get you something. Eat something and let off some steam."

Hearing this, Qi Lin fell silent for a moment before nodding. Then she looked at Jiang Ming. "The usual three."

"Then I'll go buy them now. If anything urgent comes up, remember to call me," Jiang Ming instructed Qi Lin as he packed up, afraid that some accident might suddenly occur.

Jiang Ming picked up his wallet and headed out of the police hall, but he did not take Police Car 143. He knew that within the next few days, Qi Lin would be shot through the chest by a Taotie vanguard that had come to Earth, thereby awakening her Divine River Generation Super Gene. However, he truly could not remember the exact day or time. He only remembered that it happened near the airport.

Jiang Ming had recently thought things through. He had decided not to stop Qi Lin from awakening her Super Gene. If there had been a better and safer way to awaken Qi Lin's Divine River Generation Super Gene, Jiang Ming would not have used such a dangerous method. This was a real world, after all, and Qi Lin was someone he cared about. But did he not know anything about the genetic technology of the Super God World? Jiang Ming himself had never trained in a science-fiction world. As an arts student, he did not understand this sort of thing very well. He could only let her awaken naturally.

Faced with the endless Taotie attacks to come, even he could not guarantee that he would survive to the end. What if he failed during his training in a dimensional plane and was killed? He could only live forever; he could not do what Keisha did, where even if her body was blasted into dust, her sacred atoms could locate and gather one another, allowing her to naturally revive tens of millions of years later—at the latest, only after a few hundred million years.

Therefore, Qi Lin's awakening of her Super Gene was imperative. Though it was only a Divine River Generation Super Gene and not on the level of the Three Great God-Making Projects, it would generally still give her the ability to protect herself.

As Jiang Ming pondered this, he had unknowingly arrived at the nearby Snack Street. Just as he was about to buy Qi Lin's usual three items—

Jiang Ming's phone suddenly rang, "Beep... beep... beep..." He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Qi Lin. He was somewhat surprised and confused.

"Hello, Qi Lin. What is it?"

"Jiang Ming, emergency mission. An emergency has occurred at Fei Liu District Airport. Police Car 143 is needed to rush to the scene and provide support. I'm setting off immediately. You follow after me." Qi Lin's hurried voice came through the phone. Jiang Ming frowned tightly upon hearing it, sensing that something was wrong.

"Alright. I'll return to the station immediately, then drive to the airport to provide support," Jiang Ming replied into the phone.

Jiang Ming knew it had finally come. What was meant to come had still come. The gears of fate had finally begun to turn. He only hoped Qi Lin would be safe.

Jiang Ming immediately returned to the police station, found a blind spot with no surveillance cameras, changed into a Martial Artist Robe, and used his internal power to shrink his bones and alter his appearance. At Jiang Ming's current level, this was merely a minor trick, absurdly simple. After a slight disguise, Jiang Ming's height became nearly 1.75 meters, and his handsome features turned into a square face.

Jiang Ming believed that no one would ever mistake this face for Jiang Ming's.

He pushed open the window beside the blind spot. His figure flashed away like a shadow in the night, elusive and impossible to track. He swiftly avoided every surveillance camera on Airport Road and raced toward the airport.

When Jiang Ming arrived at Fei Liu District Airport, the sight before him terrified him. "Stupid Qi Lin, what are you doing? You're still charging forward? Do you have a death wish?"

Jiang Ming watched Qi Lin foolishly continue rushing forward, unable to stop worrying.

"Qi Lin..." Jiang Ming's eyes reddened as he saw the person most important to him pierced through by a laser and falling backward. He cried out instinctively.

But according to his memories, Qi Lin should have been fine and would awaken her Divine River Generation Super Gene because of this. Yet he could not help worrying. What if something went wrong? After all, it was better to be safe than sorry. Thinking that no one should recognize this body and face, he immediately circulated his full power and used the Unrestrained Ascension Step, rushing toward Qi Lin as if teleporting.

A figure flashed past and arrived in an instant, catching Qi Lin as she fell backward.

Jiang Ming looked at Qi Lin in his arms and quickly examined her injuries. Though it was a penetrating wound, he could sense a force awakening within her body and gradually repairing her injuries.

Jiang Ming finally eased his anxious heart. He laid Qi Lin on the ground, then used his lightness skill to swiftly leave the airport.

The police officers who arrived later to provide support stared blankly at the ground. Jiang Ming also put on a frightened expression as he looked down, rushed to Qi Lin's side, picked her up, and shouted, "Doctor... Doctor..."
