Carl, an Unexpected Encounter!

Carl, an Unexpected Encounter! Black Hole.

This was Keisha and Liang Bing's first time entering a Black Hole. Although He Xi had described its horrors before, experiencing it firsthand still gave them the suffocating sensation of drowning.

It was as though a pair of hands—no, countless pairs of hands—were constantly pressing them toward the abyss.

Just as Keisha was feeling unbearable discomfort, a faint golden light appeared over her chest, strings of data code surfacing across it.

Thanks to the golden light, Keisha felt much better.

As for Liang Bing, she was like a drowning fish, her face twisted in pain. The Black Hole's terrifying gravitational pull was constantly tearing at her body.

"Interesting. You've improved quite a bit," Xu Yi said.

Keisha took a deep breath and replied, "Ever since He Xi was thrown into a Black Hole by you last time, she was left with quite a bit of trauma. So she hurriedly created a program to counter Black Hole gravity. It still can't withstand the Black Hole's disintegrating Annihilation Power, but it can reduce some of the pressure and let us survive here a little longer."

"He Xi really is a genius," Xu Yi praised.

"Help... help me."

Liang Bing's face was pale. Because the Black Hole warped and swallowed light, she looked like a black-and-white image.

She was terrified right now. Why did Xu Yi and Keisha seem completely unaffected after entering the Black Hole? And why had they brought her into one? This was simply inhuman.

Rather than being ground to death by the Black Hole, she might as well be put out of her misery.

"Xu Yi, Liang Bing might not be able to hold on much longer," Keisha said.

Xu Yi nodded and asked, "Still want fallen freedom?"

Liang Bing's mind froze for a second, then she immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Justice will surely win," Liang Bing said with all her strength.

Xu Yi turned back to glance at Keisha and spread his arms. "See? Easy. Isn't she obedient now?"

"..." Keisha fell silent. Wasn't this just forcing a confession through torture?

Even if Liang Bing submitted verbally, she definitely did not submit in her heart.

But it did not matter. Keisha did not need Liang Bing to submit. It was Liang Bing's nature.

A few minutes later, outside the Black Hole.

Liang Bing gasped for breath, her face full of relief at having survived the disaster. She did not dare look at Xu Yi. That monster was far too ruthless. He had blown her apart dozens of times, then thrown her into a Black Hole. It could not get any worse than this.

"Um, Queen... cough, cough, can I leave now?" Liang Bing asked weakly, her voice extremely soft and devoid of its former arrogance.

"Do whatever you want. I don't know you that well," Xu Yi said.

"..." Liang Bing felt even more aggrieved. If they were not close, why had he beaten her up?

She dared not voice her anger and silently flew away, leaving behind a lonely, aggrieved silhouette.

"This is probably hundreds of millions of light-years from Angel Civilization. Why don't you give me a ride?" Keisha said.

She had just finished bathing when Xu Yi dragged her over to meet Liang Bing.

If she had to fly back, who knew how long it would take.

"Sure."

Xu Yi opened a spatial passage directly connected to Angel City. Keisha walked in and vanished.

Liang Bing had no idea how long she had flown. Only after she could no longer sense Xu Yi and Keisha did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But amid the vast sea of stars, she did not even know which galaxy she was in.

So Liang Bing activated Dark Communication and said, "Carl, hurry up and use that Big Clock of yours to pick me up."

"Morgana, weren't you on Earth Star?"

On the other end of the communication, Death God Karl spoke calmly.

According to the Big Clock's positioning, Morgana was tens of billions of light-years away from Earth Star.

"There was a little accident. And call me Queen Morgana," Liang Bing said loudly.

"Very well, Morgana," Carl replied.

"Go screw yourself, you damn @~&..." Morgana was already feeling frustrated, so she immediately began cursing.

"..." Carl fell silent, unable to retort. He knew he could not argue with Morgana.

Soon, through a giant wormhole opened by the Big Clock, Morgana arrived at the Styx Galaxy's Death Song Academy.

Seeing Morgana arrive, Carl walked over and said, "Queen Morgana, why are you so angry?"

Morgana did not look pleased. She sat directly on Carl's throne and said, "Would you believe it? A few hours ago, I ran into Keisha. I was lucky she didn't cut me to death."

"Queen Keisha? Wasn't she in the Angel Nebula? The Big Clock did not detect her leaving," Carl said.

"Heh, there are things even you don't know," Morgana mocked.

"What exactly happened?" Carl was somewhat curious.

"Nothing. It's just that this Queen feels like the Universe has become a little unfamiliar... Hurry up and prepare a wormhole back to the Chiwu Star System. I have something to do," Morgana said.

"Fine." Carl did not ask further. If Morgana would not say it, he would not ask.

He was merely a scholar. Cough, cough. He was not good at conspiracies and schemes.

Juxia City.

Ah Li stood outside the coffee shop, looking somewhat anxious.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yi had vanished, as though he had disappeared into thin air.

Fortunately, Xu Yi reappeared before long. Ah Li walked over and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu Yi, where did you go? I was a little worried about you."

"Oh, just taking a walk," Xu Yi replied.

Seeing that Xu Yi did not explain, Ah Li felt a little disappointed inside.

At dusk, Xu Yi drove Ah Li home before heading to the police station to pick up Qi Lin.

Qi Lin walked out with her colleagues. Seeing Xu Yi nearby, the corners of her lips curled upward slightly.

After greeting her colleagues, she walked over.

"Xu Yi, can you keep a lower profile? You're picking me up in such a luxury car. What will my coworkers think?" Qi Lin said.

"Fine, next time I'll ride a shared bike," Xu Yi said.

"There's no need. You're still in college, so you don't need to keep coming to pick me up," Qi Lin said.

"You think I wanted to pick you up? Mom and Uncle called me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come," Xu Yi replied.

Earlier, he had brought his mother a pot of immortal-grade dog meat stew to improve her physique.

Naturally, his mother had nagged him plenty during that time, especially about Qi Lin.

Later, he had also sent some to Qi Lin's family, since he had often mooched meals at her house when they were children.

Likewise, Qi Lin's father had been dropping hints, both openly and subtly.

Xu Yi was not stupid. Of course he understood.

"Pah!"

Hearing that, Qi Lin flushed with anger and lightly kicked Xu Yi in the shin.

Xu Yi was naturally fine, but Qi Lin felt as though she had kicked a steel plate. Her bones buzzed, as if they had cracked.

"Xu Yi, why are you so hard?" Qi Lin asked angrily.

"Qi Lin, it's not like you only found out I was this hard today," Xu Yi said with a straight face.

"Get lost!"

Qi Lin caught the implication and her entire face turned red.

Damn it, this guy's mind was filled with nothing but filthy thoughts.

"Get in."

Xu Yi opened the car door, and Qi Lin got in with a pout.

That night, Xu Yi and Qi Lin ate twenty-something yuan worth of spicy hot pot at a roadside stall.

"Xu Yi, that Super God Academy contacted me again. They want me to join," Qi Lin said as she swallowed a fish ball in one bite.

"What do you think?" Xu Yi asked, peeling and eating a white clove of raw garlic.

"Of course I refused. That place is a little strange. No one around me has even heard of it," Qi Lin said.

"Then refuse them," Xu Yi said.

"Wait, isn't raw garlic spicy?" Qi Lin could not help asking.

"It's alright. What about you? How's your internship at Juxia City Police Station going?" Xu Yi asked.

"Don't mention it. Every day is full of all kinds of bizarre little cases. Either chicken theft or petty theft. Even when dogs and cats go missing, people call the police and ask us to help find them."

"But today, I did encounter a strange case. A college student fought a repeat-offender thug. He moved an air conditioner with his bare hands, kicked someone dozens of meters away, and even stuck his head into the concrete without getting hurt," Qi Lin said.

If there had not been Surveillance Replay, Qi Lin would not have believed anyone could do such a thing.

Although Di Lena had previously displayed a tiny bit of divine power, Qi Lin still believed it had to be some special method.

Xu Yi found it strangely familiar and asked, "What were the college student's and thug's names?"

"The thug was called Liu Chuang, and the college student was called Ge Xiaolun. I think he goes to the same university as you," Qi Lin said.

"That's right, we go to the same university. You could even say we're roommates," Xu Yi said.

"Such a coincidence?"

Qi Lin looked surprised.

"How was it handled afterward?" Xu Yi asked.

"What else could we do? Fighting and causing trouble. Lock them up for a few days first," Qi Lin replied.

"Say, Xu Yi, do you think someone can really stick their head into concrete and not die?" Qi Lin asked.

"The world is vast. There are all kinds of strange things," Xu Yi said.

Boom! At that moment, a thunderous roar came from Third Street in Juxia City.

A voice came through Qi Lin's communicator, ordering nearby officers to gather at Third Street and deal with some monster that had suddenly appeared.
