Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 57 Elephant
"Independent individuals? Respect?"

Inside the cozy house, a middle-aged man with a bookish look on his face listened quietly to his daughter's mumbling, then pushed his glasses down on the bridge of his nose and smiled gently.

"Dad." Zhao Jiayi couldn't help but ask, "What on earth does he mean?"

"Xiaoyi."

The middle-aged man gently stroked Zhao Jiayi's head and said softly, "You have to understand that this is not our hometown. They are also the most primitive and pure people. They can hide their emotions and do not have eyes to communicate emotions. For this most primitive mind, privacy is the cornerstone of freedom, dignity, and security. This is different from us."

He smiled and said, "You can't see his heart clearly, and he can't see you clearly either. People are very far away from each other. Living here, the first thing you have to learn is to keep your distance."

"keep distance?"

Zhao Jiayi tilted her head, not quite understanding.

"Yes." The middle-aged man said softly, "Do you know that there is a creature here called an elephant?"

"There are some in the zoo." Zhao Jiayi nodded.

"Elephants are gentle herbivores and will not attack humans."

The middle-aged man said: "But whether it is the people who first discovered the elephant or those who don't know much about elephants, they are afraid of its huge size and long tusks and dare not approach it."

Zhao Jiayi exclaimed, "Dad, we seem to be a bit similar to elephants?"

“We are more extreme than elephants.”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "In their eyes, your telekinesis not only involves privacy, but is also a symbol of power. Even though they know that elephants are docile and harmless, many people still don't dare to approach them or be rolled up by their trunks. To them, you are also an elephant. Do you understand?"

Zhao Jiayi suddenly realized and said, "But if you know each other well enough and are close to each other, you won't be afraid, right?"

“Just like the starry sky above our heads.”

The middle-aged man whispered, "The biggest fear is the fear of the unknown. When he knows you well enough, he will not misunderstand you. Time will change everything."

"But..." Zhao Jiayi said, "Dad, didn't you say that it's best not to let him know that I have telekinesis?"

"fine."

The middle-aged man smiled and touched her head, "He already knows."

"The captain already knows?" Zhao Jiayi was stunned.

"Although he is a little cold, he can still distinguish between good and evil in his heart, so he didn't expose you." The middle-aged man smiled, "You can be more honest with him in the future."

"really?"

Zhao Jiayi's eyes lit up. She pointed to her forehead with one finger and picked up the pendant around her neck with the other hand. She asked, "Can I tell him these two secrets, too?"

On the pendant was a pure black crystal as dark as deep space, with tiny specks of starlight visible in it.

"Of course not." The middle-aged man shook his head slowly. "I've told you the truth. Elephants are hunted for their beautiful tusks, and so are we."

Zhao Jiayi was silent for a moment, then asked, “Will the people here be as cruel as Zhixing?”

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "They are the most primitive and pure people. If they have enough ability, they will definitely do this."

He touched his daughter's head and said, "Of course, their hearts are also complicated and multifaceted. When you feel that he is trustworthy, give him the pendant. It will be of little use to you, but he will always remember you if he wears it for a long time."

"I understand." Zhao Jiayi nodded slightly.

……

Lin Qing led the team back to the police station, made a summary report, and went to the hospital to visit Xiao Peidong who was in a coma due to poisoning. He also found out the surveillance routes. After he returned home, it was already evening.

After returning home and having a casual dinner, he also made up for the debt he had to pay for the seventh edition of the training method and tactics "Micro" today.

"The hospital's surveillance is too perfect. They have also activated satellite monitoring to protect Xiao Peidong..."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "That's right. After all, he is an inspector. When he is injured, he is prone to retaliation by criminals. It is normal to mobilize a satellite for real-time monitoring..."

This is also one of the privileges of the inspector.

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out how to perfectly hide his identity and stab Xiao Peidong again.

After all, once an inspector is killed, the inspection headquarters will definitely open a case and conduct a thorough investigation.

As Xiao Peidong's competitor, he already had motives and it was impossible for him not to be investigated.

God knows what kind of people will come from the headquarters and what methods they have. Once exposed, it will be self-destructive.

"Forget it, let's wait until he's out of the hospital and no longer has satellite protection."

Lin Qing didn't really care. Anyway, Xiao Peidong was poisoned and hospitalized. Even if he didn't lose half his life, he would be weak for a long time.

By the time Xiao Peidong was discharged from the hospital, the credits had already been paid out. Not only could he learn new combat methods, but he might even be able to advance the original Chaoyang training method.

By then, his strength will have made great progress!
Even now, even if Xiao Peidong hid his strength, Lin Qing felt that he should be stronger than Xiao Peidong.

After he learned the new tactics and practiced the original Chaoyang training method, he wanted to try to see if he could get this first-class merit even if it was Chu Tianyao, the fugitive from Qinghu Island.

What is a mere Xiao Peidong?
"Well... I'll deal with him after he becomes a regular employee."

Lin Qing nodded secretly, "Anyway, the competition between him and me is only for the position of captain. After I become a captain, he won't have as much motivation to kill as he does now."

He gathered his thoughts and immediately called out in his heart:
"order."

The next moment, the anti-entropy panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Current Order Level: Level 2.9]

[Number of items that can be advanced: 0/2]

[Advance payment for the project: The Self-made series of tactics "Micro" (10.4% completed)]

[Advance payment for the project: Qiqi version of Chaoyang training method (37.8% completed)]

"Level 2.9."

Lin Qing couldn't help but smile, "It's a pretty big increase."

Although we only cleared out an underground boxing ring of Yuanhong Society today, we still increased the order level by 1.7 levels.

The main source is still the woman named Zhou Yang and the boss of the underground boxing ring.

These two people were the core figures of the underground boxing ring and the key to causing the chaos. One was the person in charge and the other was supposed to be the one to stabilize the place. With the death of these two people, the order level rose by 1.1 levels.

The closure and investigation of underground boxing rings also raised the order level by 0.4 levels.

Unfortunately, those boxers, as important assets of the underground boxing ring, had been transferred away before he broke into the underground boxing ring.

There must be wanted criminals among those boxers.

If this wanted criminal becomes a boxer and a thug for the Yuanhong Society, it will also be a factor of chaos.

As long as it is cleared, the order level will definitely rise.

As for those archers, they were merely the security force of the underground boxing ring and had been living in the underground boxing ring. They were like tools and did not affect the social order much. Killing them all would not improve the level of order much.

and so……

Overall, the order level was raised by 1.7 levels.

"The larger the underground forces, the more they resemble an orderly whole. The source of chaos is often the highest level, and the lower levels must follow the order and perform their duties..."

Through today's actions, Lin Qing is even more certain of this.

Just like the Blue Scarf Gang on Tieshi Street.

The key to the chaos in the Blue Scarf Gang lies in their leader Camel. Even if the Blue Scarf Gang is disbanded, the order level will only rise by 0.1 level.

"Next, we just have to wait for the credit to be distributed."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "The captain said that I have at least two second-class merits, so I can definitely learn the entire series of self-control, and I can also learn another series of combat methods."

"Also..."

He took out the box containing the super-sensory liquid injection from his arms and looked at the light blue liquid. "First, we need to confirm whether this is real or fake..."

Even with the change in order level, it can be confirmed that this thing is not dangerous to him.

But we cannot be sure that this is the super-sensory essence.

What's more, the absence of danger does not mean it is a good thing.

Just like Zhao Jiayi's telekinesis, when she has good intentions, there is no danger in guiding the subconscious mind, and it will not cause changes in the order level.

But it could also cause other troubles.

Therefore, we must first determine whether this thing is the super-sensory essence.

As for the method, Lin Qing has already thought of it.
