"Hey, the boss said we're not allowed."
"Get lost. Liu Chuang's made it big for himself, and now he comes back to lecture us? I'm doing what I want today!"
"Help! Somebody help!"
"Heh heh, stop yelling. You could scream your lungs out and no one would dare come. We're Head Dog's men. Who around here would dare mess with us?"
"Damn it! Let that girl go!"
A furious roar.
A figure appeared.
Like a thunderclap on a clear day.
Chapter 52: The Super Soldiers Come Online
The man with the cleaver was mighty and imposing~
A leaping strike followed by a sneak attack sent the man staggering.
Ge Xiaolun stepped in front of the woman. "I'll call the police if you don't watch out!"
Behind him, Zhao Xin came over, frowning at the thug who was getting back to his feet.
"Who do you think you're with?"
"Head Dog's our boss! Got it? And who are you?"
Zhao Xin had already walked over. He looked down at the man, his eyes fierce.
That wasn't the point. The point was, they knew this guy!
"Ma-Ma-Master Xin?"
The man trembled, then dropped back onto his butt.
Then he seemed to remember something. "No, Master Xin, don't get the wrong idea. That woman's a hooker. I only said that because I was in a bad mood. She's not a respectable woman."
Zhao Xin tilted his head. "Oh?"
"Really, really! Ask them if you don't believe me. I'm not lying. It's just that Chuangzi's been beating us up lately and won't let us work, going on about how we should go straight and all that crap. I was in a bad mood, so I came out to have some fun. Then this woman charged too much, so I, I just wanted to..."
His voice grew quieter and quieter.
The others behind him nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Xin kicked him to the ground.
"I'll talk to Chuangzi."
He turned to look at Ge Xiaolun, who was staring blankly beside him.
"Wait, Zhao Xin, what's going on?"
Zhao Xin shrugged. "Don't worry, it's all taken care of."
As he spoke, he took a careful look at the woman behind Ge Xiaolun.
Her makeup was heavy, her clothes revealing. She wore black stockings, and there was a seductive look in her eyes. Her legs were spread pretty wide. Then he looked at the surroundings. Not far away was a half-open door, and he could just make out someone watching from inside. A woman, by the looks of it...
So he'd been right.
After the painful lesson of getting tricked himself, Zhao Xin had made sure to sharpen his eye for this sort of thing.
"Fine, you've got some sense after all. You didn't lie to me, Master Xin."
"Get lost."
The others hurried to help the man up and headed for the alley's exit.
But then—
Whee-oo, whee-oo, whee-oo...
A siren sounded. A police car pulled up and blocked the entrance.
They were done for.
Totally screwed.
"Stop! Everyone, stop!"
Two officers got out of the car and shouted at the people inside.
The thugs raised their hands in fright and stood against the wall. They were clearly used to this.
One of the female officers surveyed the scene with a frown, then suddenly spotted someone.
"Zhao Xin?"
Zhao Xin shook his head helplessly. "Qi Lin."
"What are you doing here?"
"I was just at an internet café with my friend..."
He briefly explained what had happened.
Qi Lin nodded. "Just come with me to the station later and give a statement."
"Sure."
"You lot, move!"
Qi Lin frowned at the half-open door nearby and made a phone call.
Then she stood there, waiting.
Zhao Xin took a look and nodded without saying anything.
As for the others—
They didn't dare say a word.
The woman seemed to want to say something, but in the end she was a little too timid.
A while later,
several more police cars arrived.
"Th-this is a bit much, isn't it? We didn't even do anything! There's no need, no need for all this."
The men wore miserable expressions.
But then—
The dozen or so officers ignored them completely and rushed straight through the door.
Before long, they brought out a group of men and women in disheveled clothes.
Qi Lin came out looking disgusted, muttering under her breath.
"This place is a mess. They need more patrol officers around here. I'll talk to my dad when I get back."
"Come on, let's go."
And so,
Ge Xiaolun was squeezed into the middle of a crowd of women as they headed to the police station.
"What kind of mess is this?"
Zhao Xin said nonchalantly beside him, "Relax. You just have to give a statement. You were doing a good deed. What's there to be afraid of?"
Meanwhile,
in a corner of the universe beyond Earth's ability to observe,
a streak of light flashed by.
It headed toward Earth.
An inexplicable energy fluctuation rapidly spread toward the planet.
On Earth,
Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin, riding in the police car, suddenly shuddered.
Both lost consciousness.
At that moment,
it wasn't just them.
The same thing happened in several places across Juxia City.
Rui Mengmeng, working in a restaurant to earn money so she could study,
and Liu Chuang, exercising somewhere,
both fell unconscious.
They entered the Dark Dimension.
Their fates began to unfold at that moment.
"Welcome to the Divine River Gene System."
"The Light of the Sun has arrived on Earth. Her radiance has activated the Undefeated Body within you."
"Wait, wh-what happened to me? I was just in a police car, and now..."
"Where is this? Who are you?"
"This is your Dark Plane Gene System. I am your Super Gene System."
Ge Xiaolun stared at the black armor gradually forming on his hand, completely dumbfounded.
"Absorbing energy for you. Energy source: Super Seminary: Light of the Sun."
"You are a warrior of the Divine River Civilization, Galaxy Power."
"Activation in progress. Registration complete..."
"You are the Deno Star Spear."
"You are the Nuo Star God of War."
"..."
"I've finally awakened! This is the Deno Star Spear! A glint of cold steel strikes first, then the spear thrusts forth like a dragon!"
Zhao Xin suddenly leaped out of the car like a madman, punching a hole in the roof. A bone-chilling wind whistled through it.
???
The driver and Qi Lin in the front seats were both dumbfounded.
Then—
"Wait! Don't kick me out! What the heck is Galaxy Power? Are there a lot of people like me?"
There went another punch.
Another hole.
That was it.
The car was a write-off.
