Have a Baby

"You should be dead by now, shouldn't you? Hmph..." Xiao He, a thousand miles away, looked at the night sky and chuckled to himself.

Long before Moriarty even began his operation, Xiao He used Anika's triggered Superpower "Plague Inc.." to create a virus that infected everyone in the world. However, this virus, like probiotics, did not harm the human body.

However, once Moriarty is killed and somehow reborn into someone else's body, the virus begins to take effect.

Because this virus was programmed to "only react to William Moriarty's genes," it would kill him immediately once Moriarty was reborn.

This way, no matter where Moriarty is reborn, he will be immediately consumed by the virus.

"It's finally over... right?" Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, but he didn't dare to let his guard down. After all, Moriarty's other personalities' Superpower could neutralize the effects of the virus, so he couldn't be sure if he had really killed the guy.

What is certain is that this counterattack has severely weakened Moriarty.

Furthermore, through this war, six of Moriarty's nine personalities have now been documented and renamed.

The other three personalities are: Amanda Moriarty, who, according to the Mutator, is a non-combat type of Mutant; the eighth personality is a Mutator personality without Superpower; and the ninth personality, "Teacher," Superpower that are likely a combination of the previous seven personalities.

In other words, even if Moriarty activates his strongest "Teacher" personality, Xiao He should be able to handle this "Teacher" personality by using the previous six Moriarty as Trigger.

Moriarty is done, and with the little boy behind that old charlatan Raphael also captured, all the "villains" have been successfully dealt with. The only remaining threat is the Mutator.

The Mutator, having suffered casualties in previous attacks and now with their stronghold destroyed, are severely weakened, with only a few scattered Mutator remaining, posing virtually no threat.

Next, it was time to deal with the Mutant who had been captured behind her. These Mutant came from various countries, and some of them had never even told anyone that they were Mutant, but Amanda still managed to find out.

"Alright, we will now send everyone back to their own countries, so please don't panic." Cui Man raised her hand to comfort the rescued people. "If you encounter any difficulties, you can discuss it with our country, and we will make arrangements for you."

Not all Mutant want to go back, because their identities as Mutant have been exposed, and it would be difficult for them to return to their previous lives even after returning to their home countries. It would probably take a long time to settle these people properly.

Afterwards, everyone went to the hospital to visit Xie Haining, the biggest contributor to this operation.

Xie Haining is still receiving treatment. His injuries are not serious, but excessive blood loss has made him look pale.

"All the problems are solved, and it's all thanks to you, Old Xie," Xiao He said to Xie Haining with a smile.

"I was really forced into this situation; it was the safest and only way to help," Xie Haining said with a wry smile, then sighed as he looked at his missing left arm. "Xiao Jie's going to get angry with me..."

"No, it won't happen." Xiao He smiled and extended his left hand. Xie Haining's left hand was missing a part, so even though the severed arm had been retrieved, it couldn't be reattached.

But for Xiao He, none of these were problems.

Nanobots coalesced from all directions, quickly climbing onto Xie Haining's severed left arm and soon transforming into a strong mechanical arm.

"Wow..." Xie Haining looked at his new arm, moved it around a bit, and then laughed, "This arm feels even stronger than my old one. Now I have a powerful weapon, right?"

"I've set up some special abilities for you, like lasers, shock punches, tranquilizer darts, and the like..." At this point, Xiao He suddenly hesitated, "But... maybe retiring like this is the best choice for you?"

"No." Xie Haining shook his head, looking at his new arm, and said, "It's not time yet... I will continue to fight until you retire. This is something I decided a long time ago."

"I..." Xiao He thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Wanqing beside him.

The little girl looked at him with a smile, her beautiful eyes seeming to speak volumes. Looking at Ye Wanqing like this, Xiao He suddenly felt a little guilty.

"It should be soon," Xiao He replied with a smile. "Once the world is at peace and no longer needs me, I'll retire."

"We will always need Yinglong," Xie Haining replied seriously.

Xiao He thought for a moment and said, "Then... I'll retire when the next 'Yinglong' appears."

"Hmm, that's quite likely," Xie Haining said thoughtfully. "Then you'd better start thinking about a successor as soon as possible."

"I'm considering it," Xiao He said, putting his arm around Ye Wanqing's slender waist. "If we take care of all those dangerous guys now, then any LV5 should be able to take on Yinglong's job."

"That's true." Xie Haining stopped there, because Tong Xiaojie was already standing at the door of the ward.

Xiao He winked at Ye Wanqing, then made an excuse to take his leave.

As they left the ward, they heard Xie Haining joking, "This arm? I had Little Xiao specially strengthen my arm so I can become stronger. Look, there are all sorts of weapons too, isn't it amazing?"

Xiao He and Ye Wanqing didn't listen to any more. The two left the hospital and returned home to prepare for dinner.

Today's camping trip was ruined once again, but the problem wasn't there; it was the people who witnessed his fight with the Mutator.

"The Special Response Department sent people to retrieve their phones and then deleted all the videos and photos," Ye Wanqing explained. "However, Yin Jia and her boyfriend definitely know you're Mutant. What do you plan to do?"

"Tell them when you run into them again," Xiao He said, hugging Ye Wanqing and falling onto the sofa with her. "Just say I'm a Mutant with terrible Superpower, so I'll continue living as an ordinary person."

"Mmm..." Ye Wanqing was held in his arms like a docile kitten.

Xiao He then patted her little head and said, "Let's pray that all of this is over, so I can spend a few peaceful days with you."

"Yes..." Ye Wanqing hugged his waist, pressed her face against his chest, and whispered, "A peaceful life is the best."

Whether his prayers worked or William Moriarty had simply vanished from the world, the world returned to peace and quiet after the day's "counterattack."

Occasionally, a few Mutator might cause trouble, but they are quickly dealt with, and in this way, world peace is restored.

After that came cleaning up the mess from before: sending the rescued Mutant back to their home countries; blocking information about the Mutant exposed during the previous attack; transferring the prisoners from the former "Lin Tiannan" prison who had already been exposed to a new prison; and sending Sylvia, one of the Three Sacred Overseers, and her black bodyguard back to their home countries.

Because they had already grasped Raphael's "Achilles' heel," namely the little boy "Sean Stanley" brought back by Xiao He. This kid's Superpower very strong; whatever he believed existed, it truly existed. But now that he was in Xiao He's hands, the Three Sacred Overseers had no choice but to behave themselves.

Xiao He didn't expect these charlatans to accept Mutant, as long as they behaved themselves and didn't cause trouble.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, there was no Moriarty, no major villain, and the world was peaceful. Such peaceful days seemed to have been long overdue since the emergence of the Mutant.

On August 13th, the summer in Beichang City was as terribly hot as in previous years.

Along a highway, a group of people gathered around a pillar of an overpass. A young man was climbing down the highway using a safety rope, trying to rescue a black and white cat that had sprung up on the pillar.

But no matter how he called, the fat cat wouldn't come near him.

"You idiot, come here!" The man who was rescuing the cat cursed in frustration, reaching out to grab the cat, but the black and white cat suddenly jumped and fell off the ledge, causing a gasp from the crowd below.

But the next second, a man in a black suit flew through the air, with a cow cat quietly nestled in his arms.

"It's Yinglong!" "Wow, it's really him!" "Quick, take a picture!" The crowd exclaimed in amazement.

"Hi." Xiao He flew forward, carrying the cat, and greeted Zheng Xu was hanging in mid-air. "You're really busy."

"Yes, because we're the only stray animal organization in this city," Zheng Xu said with a wry smile.

Xiao He reached out his hand to him and pulled him onto the highway, where the crowd below applauded. Xiao He handed the cat he was holding to Zheng Xu and smiled, "Well then, see you next time?"

After leaving the scene, Xiao He flew home while sighing, "It's so hot today... Maybe I should ask that Little Pufferfish to send a blizzard to cool things down."

"That would mess up the ecosystem," Ye Wanqing suddenly replied into his earpiece. "Honey, could you bring everyone some drinks and ice cream when you come over? It's so hot, everyone's having a hard time sitting in the office."

"Okay." Xiao He replied, and then descended towards the supermarket below.

After landing on the ground, Xiao He swaggered into the supermarket and started picking out ice cream from the freezer.

"Mommy, is that Yinglong?" The child next to her tugged at his mother's sleeve, pointed at Xiao He, and asked. The mother replied suspiciously, "Impossible, right? It's probably just cosplay or something..."

"Peaceful days are so good," Xiao He thought to himself. He didn't agree with Claude's theory that "without villains, the world wouldn't need heroes." He believed that heroes could always be useful, regardless of whether there were villains or not.

After selecting a dozen or so ice creams from the freezer, Xiao He went to the cashier, took out his phone, and scanned the code to pay.

For convenience, the Special Response Department gave him a special "Yinglong Official Number" for mobile payments, so he wouldn't have to carry cash every time he bought something outside. After scanning the code, the cashier stared in astonishment at the recipient information, then stood at attention and excitedly exclaimed, "Th-um, I'm your fan!"

"Keep it up! Every person who lives life earnestly is a hero," Xiao He said with a smile, taking the ice cream from the other person and then disappearing from the scene.

The next moment, he appeared in the Special Response Department's command center.

Because the Special Response Department also handles tasks for the United Nations Special Peacekeeping Force, it has a dedicated command headquarters with operators and intelligence processors, such as Xue Ting, Ye Wanqing, and Huang Ling, who are clerical staff.

Ye Wanqing was quite bored staying at home all the time, and she also hoped to have her own circle of friends, so she gladly came to the Special Response Department's office to start experiencing adult working life, while Xiao He could play the role of "Yinglong" during her daytime work hours.

"Hi everyone," Xiao He said, handing out the bag in his hand, "I've brought you some summer cooling supplies."

"You've come to see your wife, haven't you? You're making it sound so nice." Cui Man glared at him.

"Oh dear, Sister Man, your jealousy is completely unfounded. Although Wanqing is my wife, you know I will always love you." Xiao He said, handing over the bag in his hand, "Here, you have to choose first!"

"That's more like it..." Cui Man nodded with satisfaction and smiled, taking out an ice cream from inside. "It's been so peaceful lately, nothing's happened. That's great..."

"Yes," Xiao He said, handing the bags to the others. "Come on, help yourselves."

Of course, Xiao He handed his lovely wife a grape-flavored popsicle. "Here you go."

"Hmph..." Ye Wanqing smiled smugly, took the popsicle and took a bite. "It's almost noon, why don't you sit here for a while and then get ready for lunch? Rest a bit, and then go out for a stroll in the afternoon."

"Alright," Xiao He said, kissing Ye Wanqing on the head. "So, there's nothing for me to do today? Nothing like the end of the world or a volcanic eruption?"

"No, they have their own Mutant abroad." Ye Wanqing said, swinging her pretty legs as she ate her popsicle.

"You two, can you be a little more mindful of your behavior? This is an office," Huang Ling complained while eating an ice cream cone. "This ice cream cone isn't even as sweet as you two... Can you consider how single people feel?"

"Agreed..." Xue Ting raised her hand and whispered in agreement, "If this continues, I'm going to apply for a transfer to the Criminal Investigation Department."

"Brother Xiao, today is the Special Response Department's gathering day. Are you and Wanqing going too?" Xia Yu asked while eating ice cream. Although she wasn't an information processing personnel, she was currently staying in Beichang City and by Cui Man's side because she was responsible for Cui Man's security.

"Hmm... how about we celebrate at our Seaside Villa then?" Xiao He nodded. "I'll pick them up then."

In East Zhou City, in a corner of the city, a mantis-like Mutator was moving rapidly down the street. His lower body and fists were those of a mantis, while his upper body was human. But then a figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"You've come at a really bad time. I'm in a hurry today." Xie Haining glanced at the time displayed on his left wrist, then turned to the Mutator in front of him and said, "So, let's get this over with as quickly as possible?"

The Mutator looked at Xie Haining and sneered, "You? You think you can handle me? Bah!"

As he spoke, the Mutator lunged at Xie Haining. The structure of his hands was similar to the hooks of a praying mantis, so his punches were so fast that they were invisible to the naked eye. But for Xie Haining, there was nothing he couldn't see.

Xie Haining had already made a dodge move as the Mutator moved, and after dodging the opponent's fists, he placed his left hand on the opponent's chin.

His left arm began to deform and open, with two jets emerging from the sides of his arm. Pushing his fist, he slammed it hard into the Mutator's chin, the powerful punch sending the Mutator staggering back two steps.

Then Xie Haining opened his left hand, and a cannon barrel extended from it, piercing into the Mutator's mouth. With a flash of red light, the Mutator's head was blasted off.

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, this arm is much stronger than the old one..." Xie Haining sighed, looking at his left hand. "Well, I guess this is what they call a blessing in disguise."

"Hearing that you like it puts my mind at ease." At that moment, Xiao He's voice came from behind him.

"I knew you'd be here around that time." Xie Haining gave a wry smile. "Am I the only one missing?"

"You're the only one missing," Xiao He said, extending his hand to Xie Haining.

Xie Haining kicked one of the Mutator beside him, muttering, "This couldn't have happened at the worst possible time..."

Then, he grasped Xiao He's hand, and the surrounding scenery flashed, transporting them to an island.

Now, everyone has arrived.

However, the first piece of news was...

"We're both getting ready to retire," Li Zhengliang said with a smile, holding Li Xue's hand.

"Why!?" The crowd at the scene was shocked.

After all, Li Zhengliang hasn't been in the industry for long, and he's currently at the peak of his popularity. His Superpower symbolizes the ancient martial arts of the Dragon Country, making him highly representative. Xiao He even once thought Li Zhengliang was the best successor to "Yinglong," but this guy is actually retiring before him!?

"Because I'm pregnant," Li Xue said proudly, then patted Xiao He on the shoulder. "You can't do that! You've been with your girlfriend for so long, and you still haven't gotten her pregnant."

"That's because my wife used contraception..." Xiao He's brow twitched. "We're still young, aren't we?"

"But we're not young anymore," Li Zhengliang sighed. "I'm thirty-six this year. After wandering for so many years, it's time to settle down. But I've always had a dream of becoming a martial arts hero... This Superpower has fulfilled my dream, and now Ah Xue and I have a child. I guess even God thinks it's time for me to retire?"

"Really? That's such a pity," Cui Man said regretfully. "You're incredibly popular right now, second only to Yinglong and Candle Dragon."

"It's alright, my Superpower will be passed on to the next generation of Qilin," Li Zhengliang said with a smile.

"I think it would be great to give it to Old Xie!" Xiao He immediately turned to Xie Haining.

"Indeed, Bullet Time combined with the ancient martial arts of Dragon Country would make it incredibly powerful," Cui Man nodded.

But Li Zhengliang shook his head. "No, my Superpower can only be passed on to ordinary people. This is different from lending you my kung fu. This kind of permanent inheritance of power will overwrite the user's original Superpower. Old Xie's style is already fixed, and he is very powerful. Forcing my Superpower on him will disrupt his existing fighting style and actually hold him back."

As he spoke, Li Zhengliang sighed, "Actually, the best candidate is Eric, that humanoid Mutator. He doesn't have Superpower, but he has a strong physique. With my Superpower boosting him, he should be able to reach LV7 physique. Add to that various martial arts techniques, and he might become Mutant is no less powerful than Yinglong, right? It's just a pity that he's a foreigner."

"That's true..." Cui Man pondered, resting her chin on her hand. "His performance was indeed quite good; he had an almost fanatical obsession with 'heroism.' But ultimately, he's not from our own country, so he can't represent us..."

"So, I'll follow Chief Cui's arrangements." Li Zhengliang turned to Cui Man and smiled. "Once you find a suitable candidate, Chief Cui, I will pass on all my skills to him."

"Really? It's a bit of a shame, but..." Cui Man sighed, "I still wish you all the best. We'll arrange your transfers and give you some easy clerical jobs."

"No need," Li Xue said with a smile. "I plan to take my man back to my hometown and open a small supermarket with him. We'll just make ends meet."

Afterwards, everyone offered their blessings to the two of them and then began to talk about recent events.

After being rescued, Eric served as a "United Nations peacekeeping force envoy" in Dragon Country, assisting with security. Despite being Mutator, he was more dedicated than anyone else, and his good looks made him quite popular recently.

Meanwhile, the others were dealing with local security issues in various cities. Although these were all minor problems, everyone enjoyed the feeling of peace.

After finishing their meal, everyone rested at the Seaside Villa, knowing they would be parting ways again tomorrow.

"Old Xiao..." Ye Wanqing had just lain down on the bed when she took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. "Let's have a baby too?"

"Why did you suddenly say that?" Xiao He kissed Ye Wanqing on the cheek and asked curiously.

"Because..." Ye Wanqing gently rubbed her little feet against his leg, "They look so happy...when Qilin put his ear to Li Xue's belly to listen to the baby's heartbeat, his expression was so warm...I'm a little envious of them."

"But you're still a baby yourself." Xiao He touched her face tenderly. "You're only twenty and you already want to have a baby?"

"It's just... I want Old Xiao's baby." Ye Wanqing pouted and muttered softly, then turned to look at him with an expectant expression and asked, "Is it not allowed?"

"The expression on your face..." Xiao He sighed, "Is there anything you can't do? Anything is possible."

"Hehe." Ye Wanqing laughed happily, "Then, I'll go and take out the contraceptive capsules in a few days, okay?"

"Silly girl... we should have the wedding before the baby is born," Xiao He said, gently pinching Ye Wanqing's nose. "Do you want to wait until your belly is big before wearing your wedding dress? You won't look good then!"

"Hmm..." Ye Wanqing blushed slightly and nodded. Xiao He hugged Ye Wanqing and gently stroked the back of her head. "So, next, we'll pick an auspicious day to hold the wedding?"

"Okay..." Ye Wanqing bit her lower lip, secretly delighted. Xiao He patted her little bottom and teased, "In the end, didn't you just say the same thing as Mom and Dad?"

"It's different... We're having our wedding now because I love you, not because of an auspicious date," Ye Wanqing said seriously.

"That's true," Xiao He said with a sigh, "Having a child is no small matter..."

"Mmm!" Ye Wanqing responded cheerfully, hugging his waist and smiling as she looked at him, as if she knew what he was about to say. Xiao He glanced at her and said, "So, it's not too much to practice something this difficult beforehand, right?"

"Mmm-hmm!" Ye Wanqing nodded with a bright smile.

Xiao He raised an eyebrow at her. "Aren't you going to do something?"

"Hmph..." Ye Wanqing glared at him and replied, "White stockings or black stockings?"

"White stockings, you suit white stockings," Xiao He said with a wicked smile.

Ye Wanqing retorted, unconvinced, "Nonsense, she looks great in black stockings too. Just say you like white stockings."

But Xiao He really felt that white stockings suited Ye Wanqing better, because she was already very fair-skinned, and even if she wore white stockings, it wouldn't make her skin look dark. In addition, her legs were very well-proportioned but had a fleshy feel, so wearing white stockings gave her a particularly soft and full look.

"Look at you, your eyes are about to pop out!" Ye Wanqing said, unable to suppress her laughter as she wore stockings.

"Well, who made you so cute?" Xiao He said, wiping his drool.

"Okay." Ye Wanqing finished putting on her stockings, then said with a mischievous smile, "Do you want me to put them on again?"

"Please be sure to wear it again." Xiao He nodded seriously.

Los Angeles, M Country.

The "teacher" looked at the Mutator before him and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, all preparations are complete. Now, let the world see its true colors. Tear off that hypocritical facade and reveal the rotten essence beneath."

As he spoke, the teacher raised his right hand high to the sky. "Let the world fall into a 'Nightmare'..."

"Okay, teacher..." a Mutator behind him responded, then stepped forward, opened his arms, and black smoke rapidly spread out, like a demon, engulfing the entire world...

The next moment, Xiao He suddenly woke up from his dream. He sat up and looked around. They were at their home in Beichang City.

Ye Wanqing was sleeping soundly beside him, a sweet and content smile on her face.

"Is it just my imagination? There's a strange sense of unease..." Xiao He frowned and thought to himself, but he remained silent for a long time without figuring out what was wrong. So he shrugged, lay down next to Ye Wanqing again, and hugged his lovely wife.

The phone under the pillow vibrated. Xiao He, still holding Ye Wanqing, answered the call, "Hello."

"Darling, 'the teacher' has appeared," Cui Man said nervously on the other end of the line. "He wants to see you."
