Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 2 Memory Master
After getting off the driverless car, Lin Qing quickly walked into Junyuan Community and headed towards his home.

Along the way he remained alert at all times, observing his surroundings inconspicuously.

This is not just a habit left over from surviving the apocalypse, the key reason is that the [current order level] is only level 0.3.

He didn't understand either.

In this life, his living circle is clearly in a social environment with relatively good laws and order, but the "order level" is only 0.3?
The level of order is entirely based on whether his life is stable and peaceful.

After the doomsday outbreak in his previous life, the level has been around 0.2 for a long time. After all, there are crises everywhere, whether obvious or hidden, and his life cannot be peaceful and stable.

And now it’s not much better than the end of the world?

The order level was so low that he felt like there was always a huge rock hanging in his heart, and he dared not let his guard down at all.

But he had no way of moving to a safer place, so he could only be as careful as possible.

After returning home, Lin Qing entered the house in the dark as usual. After entering the bedroom, the screen of his mobile phone suddenly lit up and started charging automatically.

The bedroom was half light and half dark, with half of the light coming from the window.

He looked up subconsciously and was startled slightly, his eyes attracted by the scene outside the window.

It is a city that never sleeps.

The skyline in the distance is made up of towering skyscrapers and streamlined huge buildings. The colorful advertising screens and light shows flashing high in the city can be seen clearly even if you are on the edge of the city.

Even if the darkness of night drowned half the planet, it could not overflow the embankment formed by the city lights.

This is the most eye-catching "urban circle" in Binhai in 2120.

Lin Qing has been in this era for a month, so this is not the first time he has seen this scene.

What attracted him was the huge three-dimensional projection being played at the highest point in the center of the urban area.

He was a white-haired man in luxurious clothes. He looked very much like an Earthling, but between his eyebrows there was a half-open vertical eye with a faint flash of electricity in his pupils, which gave him an indescribable mysterious temperament. Amidst the support of thousands of brilliant lights, he seemed like a giant god sitting above the city, enjoying the gazes of countless people.

Just sitting there and talking is enough to take your breath away.

Although he was outside the urban area, Lin Qing could not hear what the white-haired, three-eyed man was saying, but rows of gorgeous three-dimensional subtitles kept appearing under the huge projection.

"...Our Zhixing Group has always been optimistic about the future of the Earth, so we developed the urban circle. This time, we added more investment in the hope that more elite talents like the founder of Chaoyang Martial Arts School will appear on Earth..."

Lin Qing opened his mobile phone to take a photo, enlarged the lines of projected subtitles to three times, and slowly read them out.

Then, he put down his phone in a daze.

"The Earth has indeed been connected to extraterrestrial civilizations..."

"After experiencing the apocalypse, the new civilization developed so quickly?"

He murmured, then lowered his head slightly and looked at the dark and dilapidated neighborhood below the window.

It’s also the year 2120.

Most of the buildings here retain their appearance from the last century, with mottled walls and peeling paint. Having experienced the ravages of time and doomsday, they are left with only the confusion of being abandoned by the times.

The remaining neon lights flickered faintly, sometimes lighting up and sometimes going out, as if telling of their once glorious past.

This neighborhood is like an orphan of time, forgotten by the rapidly developing city.

Lin Qing knew very well that the dazzling urban circle was just an unattainable mirage, and the dilapidated neighborhood before him was the reality of his life.

As for the connection with the starry sky, the starry sky mutual aid association, gene optimization technology, high-tech smart life...

Does it have anything to do with him?
Compared with the superior and developed urban environment, places outside the urban area are actually like slums.

Not only is public security management weak, but there is also a lot of mobility, so robbery and burglary at night are not uncommon here. There are gangs everywhere and the situation is quite chaotic.

Moreover, the order level is only 0.3, so there is definitely more to it than just the chaos on the surface.

There must be some more serious potential dangers.

"There must be something wrong with this era..."

Lin Qing felt uneasy, as if he was walking on thin ice. "I can't wait until danger finds me before I think about dealing with it... I have to acquire the ability to protect myself as soon as possible..."

He is used to being prepared for danger in times of peace and responding to potential crises in advance.

Others might think this is paranoia, but if he didn't have this mentality, he wouldn't have been able to survive for so many years in the apocalypse.

"Ding."

Suddenly, Lin Qing's cell phone made a soft beep.

It’s a WeChat message.

[Cousin: The team has an emergency operation tonight, and the danger level is high. Don’t come. I have already asked for leave for you.]

Lin Qing thought about it and replied with a word "OK".

Then, he put down his phone and shook his head slightly: "As soon as there is a dangerous action, just ask for leave for me."

My cousin Chen Yanan is the captain of the patrol team of the Xiaoshan District Patrol Bureau.

Ever since his parents died in the line of duty, his cousin and her family have been taking good care of him. His cousin is like a real sister to him.

Since he could no longer receive the monthly allowance of 1,000 yuan after he turned 18, his cousin used her power to let him join the patrol team as a temporary patrol officer. In this era, the government deliberately separated the "patrol" system from the public security system.

Its main function, in addition to cooperating with the police in maintaining public security, is to search for "suspicious anomalies".

However, the patrol team's work is easy most of the time.

As long as Lin Qing lives a simple life, he can earn 2,600 yuan a month.

Although there are no five social insurances and one housing fund, this kind of job that is easy and pays is still good.

Moreover, whenever there was any dangerous action, his cousin would never let him participate and would ask for leave for him before he even had to report for duty.

My predecessor often felt embarrassed about this.

Lin Qing thought it was very good.

He was a senior high school student who managed to get into the patrol team. He had no official position and no benefits. He was working hard for 2,600 yuan a month.

“But once you become a regular employee, you can’t do this anymore.” Lin Qingwei sighed slightly.

The best way out he could think of at the moment was to become an inspector.

Not only does it have the support of the World Government, but there are also many benefits, such as the opportunity to learn Chaoyang Martial Arts for free, and even the opportunity to learn "tactics".

For ordinary people who are not qualified enough to be recruited by the Chaoyang Martial Arts School, this is the best way to improve their strength as quickly as possible.

the most important is--

The profession of inspector is a perfect match for his talent, 'Anti-Entropy'.

He can only advance one skill now, which is really stretched. This is because the order level is too low. Otherwise, it would be much better if he could advance even one more skill.

Moreover, his cousin Chen Yanan is the captain of the patrol team of the Xiaoshan District Patrol Branch, so he does have a bit of background.

"First, get promoted to regular employee, then to patrol officer, and then get the right to bear arms."

Lin Qing had already planned it out, and this could be considered a goal that could be achieved in the near future.

As long as you master the '46 version of Chaoyang training method', it is not difficult to become a regular employee or be promoted to a patrol officer.

"Read a book."

Lin Qing opened the professional inspection book that he had prepared long ago on his mobile phone and began to read it quickly.

The exam for promotion to the Inspectorate has a written component and it’s quite tedious.

My cousin took the exam for more than a year but still failed. In the end, she was able to pass with extra points for her meritorious service.

However, this kind of exam was not difficult for him.

In his previous life, before the doomsday, he was just a high school student. After the anti-entropy awakened, he thought again and again and made advance use of the systematic memory training method to become a "memory master".

Although I haven't reached the level of having a photographic memory, if I study liberal arts, I can also become a top student.

Normally, it would take more than ten years to train from scratch to become a memory master. It took him two years just to complete the process of becoming a memory master.

Unfortunately, Lin Qing met his end before he could shine in the college entrance examination.

The skills that the Anti-Entropy Man had acquired in advance seemed to never disappear. Even in this life, he had not lost his ability as a Memory Master.

With this kind of learning ability, he would be confident that he could pass the inspection professional examination in a month or two at most.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Buzz-"

Suddenly, the phone vibrated and the caller ID showed "cousin".

It’s so late, and my cousin called me suddenly?
Lin Qing was a little confused and answered the call immediately.

"Hello, cousin?"

"What? How could my cousin…"

"Xiaoshan District People's Hospital? Okay, I'll be there right away."

After ending the call, Lin Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Tonight's impromptu operation...my cousin was seriously injured and went to the emergency room?"

Although it was already one o'clock in the morning, he couldn't stay out since his cousin had encountered such a big thing.

Walking to the clothes rack and thinking for a while, Lin Qing decided not to take the temporary inspector's black uniform, but picked up the old coat next to it.

This neighborhood is not very peaceful at night, as darkness is rampant.

Although the inspection team has the support of the government, he, as a temporary inspector, has neither a staff position nor law enforcement power, and does not even have a star on his shoulder. Those gangsters and criminals are not afraid of him.

When you are alone, you are more likely to be bullied, so it is better not to wear it.

After putting on his coat, covering his face with the collar and putting on his hat, he took out a boning knife from the kitchen and hid a fruit knife in his pocket.

Lin Qing armed himself as usual and then went out.
