Billion Fears

"Sister Man, everything is normal." Xia Yu reported the situation after returning to the Special Response Department.

"She didn't... nothing happened?" Cui Man asked incredulously. Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes, just like usual. I've been with her the whole time, nothing unexpected happened."

"Sigh... alright then." Cui Man sighed. Actually, her intuition told her that this woman definitely had a problem, but Xue Ting and Xia Yu hadn't found anything suspicious, so she could only temporarily dismiss her doubts.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Cui Man tidied her slightly messy hair. "Anyway, keep an eye on her."

"Okay, Sister Man," Xia Yu replied with a smile. "Shall we go buy some things after work today and visit Brother Xiao and Wanqing?"

Cui Man nodded and smiled, "Those two kids have finally gotten married. Sometimes when I see them, I'm a little envious myself. Maybe I should go on one of the blind dates my family has arranged..."

For the next six months, Han Xin did not appear in the public eye again.

In the past six months, he has traveled all over the world, spreading his fears in places with extremely low levels of technology.

"Hmph, should that be enough?" Han Xin sneered, looking at the fearful native before him. "Then, the last objective before the final battle with Yinglong..."

As he spoke, Han Xin turned around, the scenery around him flashed, and the next moment he arrived in front of a farmhouse.

After pushing open the door, William Moriarty sat on the swing in the yard, swinging aimlessly, staring blankly at the sky with a face full of innocent naivety.

"Hmph, that woman's intelligence is quite accurate." Han Xin cracked his neck and chuckled as he walked toward William Moriarty. But suddenly he raised his hand, and from the darkness beside him, two figures were instantly controlled and flew in front of him.

"Really? Two Mutant as guards?" Han Xin looked at the two and laughed. "Are you looking down on me?"

"You, you bastard..." Ivan struggled, "If you've got the guts, let's face each other head-on!?"

"A head-on confrontation?" Han Xin seemed puzzled. "That's a strange way of putting it. Weren't you two hiding in the shadows trying to ambush me? If you want a head-on confrontation, then stand in front of me from the start."

With that, Han Xin waved his hand lightly, and the Oliver and Ivan brothers flew out, crashing through the wall and disappearing into the ruins.

Han Xin calmly approached William and said casually, "I don't have much time, so I'll keep it brief."

As he spoke, Han Xin stared intently into William Moriarty's eyes. "You're still inside, aren't you? 'Teacher'? Get out here, I want your abilities."

William looked up at Han Xin, his expression somewhat puzzled. "Uncle, are you talking to me?"

"No, I'm talking to the guy inside you," Han Xin said with a smile. "Could you make him come out? Because I really don't have much time. If he doesn't come out, then Uncle might have to hurt you, you know?"

"Hurt... hurt me? Why?" William looked at Han Xin in horror and asked, "What did I do wrong?"

"Yes, your mistake was not letting the teacher come out to see me." Han Xin grinned, mimicking William's childlike voice, "Uncle could only force him to come out by hurting you. I know he's still inside. He can fool others, but he can't fool me, because I can see fragments of his soul."

"I... I'm not afraid of you, Yinglong will come to save me..." William fell off the swing and backed away in fear.

"Oh, Yinglong, he's busy with other things right now," Han Xin said with a smile. "No one's coming to your rescue."

As he spoke, Han Xin reached out to grab William, but the next moment William's figure flashed and disappeared.

"Oh dear, oh dear." Claude Moriarty appeared behind Han Xin, sighing as he pressed his hand against a non-existent hat on his head. "They don't even spare such a small child. The villains of this world can always redefine my limits."

"The first personality?" Han Xin looked at Claude in front of him and smiled. "And the teacher?"

"The teacher is gone," Claude said, brushing the dust off his clothes. "Because he no longer has any reason to exist."

"Because you think the world is safe now?" Han Xin raised an eyebrow and smiled. "It's alright, I'll give him a reason to exist again. Tell him that if he doesn't come out, I'll slaughter you all."

"See, I don't even need to fight you," Claude sneered. "I just need to go to Yinglong."

"Give it a try?" Han Xin sneered, then waved his hand, and a peculiar cube appeared beside them. Light kept moving along the lines of the cube, binding the two of them.

"This is..." Claude frowned. "Damn it, I can't teleport anymore!"

But at that moment, Oliver suddenly rushed out from behind, punched Han Xin in the face, followed by a whip kick, and then proceeded to beat him up.

However, after the attack, Oliver himself staggered back two steps, clutching his hand in pain as blood trickled down his skin.

"Are you kidding me?" Han Xin rolled his eyes and lightly swept his hand across the room.

At that moment, Ivan rushed forward and caught the attack. But Han Xin's seemingly casual strike sent Ivan spinning and flying, bouncing off the ground before landing. His right hand was twisted from the blow and was clearly broken.

"Hey, you two bodyguards are completely outmatched," Claude sighed helplessly. "Keep it up, gentlemen."

"Shut up, if you're so good, you do it!" Oliver stood up and said irritably, then attacked Han Xin again.

But the instant Han Xin Oliver forward, Han Xin nimbly ducked to avoid his punch, then swiftly unleashed a three-hit combo, striking Oliver's chin, chest, and abdomen respectively. The sound of bones cracking rang out, and Oliver coughed up a mouthful of blood, flying backward and collapsing to the ground, motionless.

"Sigh, it seems I have to rely on myself for everything." Claude sighed, then patted his head. "Wade?"

Claude's expression became agitated, and he switched to Wade's personality.

Wade gritted his teeth and said, "You call this 'relying on yourself'?"

"Has it changed personalities again?" Han Xin smiled with interest. "Heh, that's really interesting!"

As he spoke, Han Xin pounced on Wade: "If I hit him again, will he transform into another personality? It's a bit like another version of whack-a-mole!"

Wade opened his mouth and bit down with a "smack!" sound, and Han Xin's suit jacket, from his shoulders down to his abdomen, instantly disappeared, as if it had been bitten by an invisible mouth.

But despite his clothes being torn off, his body was unharmed; instead, a spray of blood mist came out of Wade's mouth.

"Damn it..." Wade covered his mouth, then spat out a mouthful of blood and frowned, "That's fucking tough. This physical strength has already surpassed Yinglong's back then, right?"

"It hurts!" Han Xin looked at the gash on his body, repaired it with his Superpower, and then opened his mouth and bit forward fiercely, like a predatory shark.

And the moment he took that bite, Wade's upper body simply vanished.

Han Xin spat and frowned, saying, "Disgusting, it smells like dead people."

"Oh dear, that's really rude of you." Tentacles extended from Wade's waist, intertwining and twisting together to form a snake-like upper body, which was still writhing before finally transforming into a human shape.

"You can't be so rude to women, can you?" Anika Moriarty said, cupping her face in her hands with a smile.

"Get lost," Han Xin said coldly. "You damned freak, what are you pretending to be a woman for in front of me?"

"You damn transvestite..." Anika's face darkened, then veins bulged on her body, and numerous tentacles extended from her, lunging at Han Xin: "I hate it when people call me a transvestite! It's not like I wanted to be trapped in this man's body!"

Han Xin merely smiled slightly, and then more, thicker, and more ferocious tentacles sprouted from his body, instantly biting into Anika's body like dozens of venomous snakes. In the blink of an eye, they devoured all the tentacles on her body, leaving Anika's body unrecognizable.

"Ugh, um..." Anika groaned as she backed away, her mangled body writhing as if trying to repair itself. "No, no, this guy is too strong... Lecter, it's all up to you..."

After Anika's body was repaired, she collapsed to the ground, but when she stood up again, she had already transformed into Lecter's personality.

Han Xin clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha! Interesting! Very interesting! How many personalities do you have left? How many more times must I kill you before my teacher comes out? Tell me!"

"You're too arrogant," Lecter said coldly, waving his hand. Countless orbs of light appeared around him, then transformed into a rain of light that fell upon Han Xin.

But Han Xin merely raised his index finger, and all the points of light converged towards his fingertip, forming a ball of light the size of a basketball. Then he sneered, "Arrogant?"

As he spoke, Han Xin shook his head, pointed to his chest, and said, "Do you know? There are over a billion people in the world who fear my existence, offer me sacrifices, and live in fear of me. I am their 'evil god,' and what are you? How dare you call me arrogant in front of me? Kneel down!"

Han Xin's roar caused Lecter to be forced to kneel on one knee by an invisible pressure, and the powerful force created a circular dent in the ground around Lecter.

"That's right, just like that, kneel down and bow your head!" Han Xin pointed his hand at Lecter and laughed.

Lecter was thrown to the ground by the terrifying gravity, the circular crater around him growing deeper and deeper, and Lecter body sank into the ground under the influence of gravity. More than a dozen lines of blood spurted from his body, clearly indicating that he was about to be crushed and pulverized.

However, the effect of gravity suddenly stopped, and Lecter slowly stood up, looked at Han Xin in front of him, and sighed.

"It seems there will always be worse villains in this world," the teacher said helplessly. "Mr. Yinglong, you really disappoint me. You should be here protecting him. You're a 'hero'..."

"You can't blame him for that, he had his own things to do today. I just picked a good time," Han Xin said with his hands on his hips and a laugh. "You want to defeat that guy too, right? In that case, give me your abilities, I can do things you can't."

"I've done what I needed to do," the teacher said calmly. "That's why I disappeared."

Han Xin said dismissively, "Then you'd better hand over your Superpower honestly. This is the last step I need before declaring war on Yinglong."

"Do you also want 'Dominance'?" the teacher smiled slightly. "You're also afraid of Mr. Yinglong's abilities, aren't you?"

"I'm just being prepared. Even without 'Dominance,' I have ways to deal with him." Han Xin's lips curled up slightly. "After all, I'm fighting two against one. The enemy isn't Yinglong, but that 'strongest couple in history.'"

"But unfortunately, I will not give you that ability," the teacher replied calmly. "Although Mr. Yinglong didn't come when William needed him, he is still the greatest hero in the world. He saved William, and I cannot let you kill him."

"Then I'll take it myself," Han Xin said with a smile, clenching his fist.

At that moment, a baby's cry rang out from the medical room of the Special Response Department.

"Ah! It's born! It's born!" The crowd outside the infirmary gasped in surprise and rushed inside. Ripper Rick, holding the baby in his arms as if it were a Descent child, handed the child to Xiao Yuanshan with a look of reverence. "Congratulations Yinglong, on the birth of your daughter. May I begin examining the umbilical cord now?"

"Ugh, go away, go away..." Cui Man glared at him disdainfully.

"Hey! Let me see my precious granddaughter!" "Where's my goddaughter?!" "She's so cute! She was born with so much hair!" "How about we arrange a marriage between her and our son?" "Xiaoya, look, it's a little sister!" Everyone was chattering away.

But the child's father is still in the infirmary, with the child's mother.

"You're so brave..." Xiao He held Ye Wanqing's hand, kissed it lightly, and smiled.

"It's alright, it was a C-section anyway," Ye Wanqing smiled. "And with Rick's Superpower, it didn't hurt much."

As she spoke, Ye Wanqing looked at her abdomen, checked it, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming there were no scars, "Great... I finally got this little devil out of my body, it tormented me for half a year..."

"Don't talk about your daughter like that..." Xiao He smiled wryly and gently flicked her little nose.

"You're happy because you had a daughter..." Ye Wanqing grumbled, glaring at him. Xiao He grinned, "What? Aren't you happy to have a daughter? She'll be just as cute as you!"

"I don't really care, it's just..." Ye Wanqing muttered pitifully, "I'm afraid people will say I didn't give you a son... I know that's a feudal idea, but..."

"Don't worry," Xiao He said with a smile, lifting her chin. "Anyone who dares to say that, I'll turn their son into a daughter."

"Pfft..." Ye Wanqing was immediately amused by him, and playfully punched him, saying irritably, "How can you be so mean!"

As she spoke, Ye Wanqing's expression softened. She gently stroked Xiao He's face and sighed, "Husband, you've really had a tough six months... No sex life, and you've had to take care of me all this time, and listen to my complaints..."

"Although we don't have sex, we still have OIO, so I can occasionally give you my penis..." Xiao He teased, flicking her nose.

"Oh dear!" Ye Wanqing quickly interrupted him with a playful scolding, "Aren't you going to check on your daughter!"

"No rush, I have a lifetime to see her." Xiao He held her hand. "Now, let me see my darling."

"Hmph..." Ye Wanqing smiled, pursing her lips. "After I recuperate for a month, I'll be able to serve you properly."

"Then I'm really looking forward to it. I've been holding back for so long!" Xiao He said, rubbing his hands together.

"The AME Virus is amazing! Even though I've been eating and drinking like crazy for the past six months, I haven't gained any weight, hehe." Ye Wanqing smiled slightly and said proudly, "I definitely want to have a son next time..."

"I have to have another baby? Are you telling me I have to endure this for another six months?" Xiao He said reluctantly.

"Well, then you'd better watch out and not let me seduce you," Ye Wanqing said confidently, then looked down at her own breasts. "Hmm, having a baby seems to have made them a little bigger..."

It was only then that Xiao He realized that whether or not to have a second child was not up to him.

After spending some time with Ye Wanqing, the others came in one after another. Cui Man, holding their daughter, smiled happily and said, "Come on, look at your dad. He's the strongest man in the world! You can tell your friends that in the future..."

"Okay, come here and let Daddy hold you." Xiao He said, taking his daughter from Cui Man's arms.

The little girl was born with a thick head of hair, a round little face, and beautiful big eyes that sparkled with starlight. She looked exactly like Ye Wanqing, and was incredibly cute no matter how you looked at her.

Looking at the little girl, Xiao He's feelings were truly complicated: this was his and Ye Wanqing's daughter, their flesh and blood.

"Xiao Yun. That's her name." Xiao He nodded and said, then turned to Ye Wanqing, "Come see your mother."

Ye Wanqing reached out to him, took the child from him, and held him in her arms. Her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at him. "You little devil, you've tormented me for so long... Do you know how hard it was for your mother to give birth to you? If you ever dare to disobey your mother, see how I discipline you. I'll even deal with your father..."

"Why?" Xiao He asked innocently.

"Because our daughter is disobedient, that must be inherited from you!" Ye Wanqing said irritably.

"... Yes, after all, you're such a reasonable person." Xiao He chuckled dryly.

People came forward to congratulate him, but just as the atmosphere was filled with joy...

"Hello, it's me." Cui Man suddenly answered a phone call, then her expression changed, and she looked at Xiao He with some difficulty. Xiao He immediately understood. "That guy showed up, didn't he?"

"Perhaps, we can... let the Yinglong Robot ..." Cui Man stammered.

"No." Xiao He took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "It's Yinglong's turn to make his move."

As he spoke, Xiao He turned to Ye Wanqing behind him and smiled slightly at her.

Ye Wanqing simply sighed with a hint of helplessness, then waved her hand with a smile, "Go ahead."

Then, she took Xiao Yun's little hand in her arms and waved to Xiao He: "Come on, say goodbye to Daddy. You sleep well, and Daddy will be back. Okay?"

"Don't say such fg-like things..." Xie Haining frowned.

"You yourself clearly also... cough cough." Han Tianyu's words turned into a dry cough halfway through.

The next moment, Xiao He disappeared from the scene. The surrounding scenery changed, and he appeared in the house where Moriarty was hiding. At this moment, the place was devastated, as if it had been bombed by hundreds of missiles.

Xiao He looked around and found Oliver's figure in the ruins. He quickly went forward to check on Oliver's condition and frowned, asking, "Are you alright? Can you survive?"

"My brother..." Oliver pointed with difficulty to a pile of rubble beside him.

Xiao He then waved his hand, and the rubble scattered, revealing Ivan's body underneath, and placed him aside.

"Do you have a light?" Oliver asked with difficulty, then lit a cigarette.

Xiao He stretched out his hand, and a flame flickered from his fingertips, igniting the cigarette.

"You can get lost now..." Oliver replied after taking a drag of his cigarette, then pointed in a certain direction. Xiao He immediately followed the direction he pointed, and the signs of fighting gradually became more and more intense.

Finally, at the end of this chaotic scene, Xiao He saw Moriarty lying on the ground, but Han Xin was not there.

"Hey!" Xiao He quickly stepped forward and checked Moriarty's condition, finding that he was almost uninjured.

"Where is that guy?" Xiao He frowned. Moriarty grabbed his collar, gritting his teeth and saying, word by word, "You... you're too late!"

"I arrived as soon as I received the message," Xiao He said, frowning. "So, which personality are you?"

"Lecter ..." the other person said, grabbing his clothes, "The teacher was killed...it's all because of you! You should have protected William! But you didn't show up, so the teacher had to deal with that guy himself. His power was taken away..."

"Alright." Xiao He now realized the seriousness of the problem. Once the other party had "Dominance," they could prevent Ye Wanqing from changing his name. But that wasn't the biggest problem, because Ye Wanqing could achieve the effect of changing the name by modifying a more general concept to include Han Xin.

The real serious problem was: who gave Han Xin the intelligence that "William Moriarty is here"? Very few people knew Moriarty's location; even Xiao He didn't know Moriarty's exact location.

Foreign forces could never have access to this information because of the Cosmic Core Algorithm. Currently, no foreign country has the ability to crack their encryption system. Therefore, the only way to obtain this intelligence is through close contact with key personnel.

"You'd better watch out, Mr. Yinglong ..." At this moment, Lecter's personality switched back to Claude. He slowly stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and chuckled, "This time your enemy isn't a madman. He is... the embodiment of Billion Fears. He represents the fear in the human heart. As long as you are afraid of him, you can never defeat him."

"Impossible," Xiao He sneered. "I will defeat him. Just you wait and see."

As he spoke, Xiao He returned to the hospital to notify others to handle the aftermath. He was very worried about the safety of Ye Wanqing and her family. If someone had indeed leaked William Moriarty's information to Han Xin, then that person must have access to a core figure like Cui Man.

Rather than eliminating Han Xin, protecting Ye Wanqing and the others is more important now.

Since Han Xin has left, it means that the other party has no intention of continuing the attack. It is very likely that he was also greatly exhausted in the battle with his "teacher" and needs some time to recuperate before launching a final attack.

What Xiao He needed to do during the time the enemy was adjusting was to ensure that the people around him would be safe and sound when he fought Han Xin, and then find the traitor who had leaked the information.

"The enemy has already fled," Xiao He explained to Cui Man in a low voice. "Now is not the time for a decisive battle. You should also know that we have a traitor among us, right? Rather than eliminating the external enemy, finding a way to get rid of this 'traitor' is the most important thing."

"But..." Cui Man frowned, muttering incredulously, "How could this be? Only a handful of people involved in the operation to Moriarty William Moriarty knew his location, and they were all people I absolutely trusted. It can't be..."

"In short..." Xiao He glanced at the people behind him, then instructed Cui Man, "Until then, ensure everyone's safety. The decisive battle is not far off, and when it arrives, I hope to ensure Wanqing and the others are absolutely safe."

Cui Man said with a serious expression, "I will have Xia Yu personally take charge of her safety."

Xiao He nodded, then turned to Ye Wanqing and greeted her, "Honey, I'm back."

Ye Wanqing chuckled at his words: "Welcome, her dad. Would you like to come see your daughter?"

Xiao He bent down to look at the tiny angel in her arms. The little baby looked a bit sleepy, but upon seeing him, she raised her little hand and reached out. Her hand was so small that it could barely grasp his index finger. Feeling the warmth of her fingers, Xiao He's heart softened. "Hi, baby."

Xiao Yun hummed a few times, her eyes already too heavy to open, and fell asleep holding his fingers.

"Alright, shall we take you home first?" Xiao He gently stroked Ye Wanqing's cheek and whispered, "It's time for you to start your postpartum confinement."

In Han Xin's apartment in Nanhua City.

"Finally, everything is ready." Han Xin clenched his fist and muttered to himself, "The essence of this world is 'Chaos'..."

"So, when do you plan to make your move?" Zhang Yuxin asked coldly from behind him. Han Xin glanced back at her and sneered, "I'll start as soon as my strength recovers... That guy called 'Teacher' is really troublesome."

"Well, I should probably start preparing my plans too," Zhang Yuxin said with a smile, lightly licking her fingertip.
