I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Don't worry, officers, I am a law-abiding citizen."

These words immediately drew countless distrustful glances.

"It's true, I was just forced to act in self-defense... I was just facing a group of dangerous opponents who were attacking me with guns, and I had no choice but to fight back a little too hard."

The middle-aged sheriff said sternly, "In any case, please do not make any rash moves. Come with us for questioning. If the truth is as you say..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xue Jing reached into his pocket and pulled out a black ID card.

This action immediately triggered the sheriffs' nerves, and the clicking sounds of gun safety being released were incessant.

Faced with the imminent threat of being targeted by a barrage of gunfire, Xue Jing remained calm and unmoved, seemingly oblivious to the danger.

He first showed the middle-aged sheriff the design on the front of the black card.

Upon seeing the card, the middle-aged sheriff's expression shifted, and he raised his hand upwards: "Don't fire!"

Xue Jing spoke:

"Sir, here you go."

After saying that, he tossed the black card to the middle-aged sheriff, who caught it.

Wu's Relics Containment and Research Co., Ltd.

[Specially Appointed C-Rank Divine Relic Containment Officer - Xue Jing]

"Detention warrant..."

The middle-aged sheriff murmured.

"Ask them about what exactly happened, sir."

Xue Jing laughed and pointed to the more than twenty unconscious people piled up next to him.

……

After Xue Jing left, a female sheriff watched his departing figure until he disappeared from sight, then blinked and came back to her senses.

She asked the middle-aged sheriff, who was deep in thought:

"Captain Zhou, is it alright to just let that person go like this?"

Captain Zhou replied casually:

"According to the rules and regulations, there is absolutely no problem."

"What kind of rules or regulations are there? I've never seen them before!"

The female sheriff asked in confusion.

"You'll see it after you level up two more times," Captain Zhou said, glancing at her.

"However, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Just because the rules are as they are doesn't mean we have to follow them exactly."

"In a situation like this, with so many dead and such gruesome deaths, even if he has a 'detention certificate,' we can still detain him..."

The female sheriff asked in confusion, "Then why not detain him?"

Captain Zhou gave her a strange look:

"Are you stupid? This kind of expert who can cut down dozens of armed men with a knife without even getting dirty, we're going to detain him?"

"What if the other party has a bad temper and gets angry? We'd all probably be dead."

"If there's an excuse to let him go, of course we'll just let him go."

The female sheriff was speechless: "Oh... I see."

She then realized that it seemed to be true... The boy's appearance was too deceptive; he was so handsome that she had momentarily overlooked his terrifying danger.

Captain Zhou looked at the dozens of armed criminals being escorted onto the vehicle and said:

"These lawless thugs in the South District actually dared to use guns in the city... But this is a good opportunity; Chief Shang should be happy about it..."

……

The shooting incident caused the pier to be closed for a period of time, which delayed the ticket checking process.

After wandering around outside for a while, Xue Jing dragged his suitcase to the waiting hall, went to the service window, completed the procedures with his ID card, and received a card.

According to the staff, this card serves as both a ship ticket and a room key, and must be carried with you when boarding and disembarking.

After completing the formalities, Xue Jing put the ticket card in his pocket, found a chair to sit down, and glanced at the panel.

[You have survived a fierce battle, unleashing your physical potential. Fitness experience points +933]

[Health Enhancement Upgraded to Lv7 (21/4500)]

[Military attack upgraded to Lv6 (56/3000)]

Xue Jing nodded, feeling the boost from the two newly upgraded skills.

"Fighting really does improve your skills the most... One hard-fought battle is equivalent to many days of hard work."

He let out a soft breath.

"However... killing so many people in real life is still a bit creepy."

Xue Jing calmed his slightly fluctuating emotions.

This was his second killing since the activation of Shadowflame, and he brutally slaughtered a group of them.

When one feels sorrow for one's own kind, it's hard not to be moved.

Xue Jing was adjusting his emotions with his powerful mental control when a greeting came from beside him.

"Hello... are you Mr. Xue?"

Xue Jing opened his eyes and turned to look.

He was a tall, thin, middle-aged man who was impeccably groomed.

……

Chapter 111 The Innate Forcing Holy Body, the Sea Bee Swarm, It's All Just a Coincidence (4K)

"My name is Chen Liang, and I am the security chief of the 'Infinite Nova,' the person in charge of the overall security work of this cruise ship."

The middle-aged man, Chen Liang, spoke in a somewhat cautious tone.

Seeing his attitude, Xue Jing understood that the other party must have communicated with the police and knew what had just happened.

"Oh, it's Director Chen... What can I do for you?"

Xue Jing asked with a smile.

Sensing the gentle kindness in Xue Jing's tone, Chen Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

He considered for a moment and said, "It's like this, Mr. Xue, it's our honor that you chose to travel on our 'Infinite Nova'..."

Chen Liang inwardly groaned.

After being informed of the incident at the pier by the police department, and learning that the young murderer who had killed more than a dozen people was actually a cruise ship passenger, the captain decided to refuse the passenger a refund for safety reasons.

However, while the refund process was underway, the captain suddenly received a phone call. After bowing and scraping to the person on the other end of the line, he told him that the ticket could not be refunded and that the boy had to be allowed to board the ship.

Thus, the heavy responsibility of appeasing this serial killer and preventing him from causing safety problems on the ship was forcibly handed over to him, the security chief.

This is a terrifyingly strong individual who can still kill dozens of armed men without getting hurt. As a retired soldier, Chen Liangyuan understands what this means better than most people.

In the environment of a cruise ship, if the other side wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult to kill all the thousands of people on board.

It's absurd that such an extremely dangerous person had to be allowed on board; I really don't know what was going on with the phone call the captain received.

After uttering a long string of flattering words, Chen Liang continued:

"...If we have failed to provide adequate hospitality, or if you encounter any dissatisfaction on board, please let me know directly, and I will do my best to meet all your needs..."

Xue Jing blinked, glanced at Chen Liang's impeccably upright posture—as if he were receiving a lecture from a superior—and patted the seat next to him, smiling:

"Don't stand up yet, sit down and let's talk, Director Chen."

Chen Liang paused for a moment, hesitated, and then slowly walked over and sat down next to Xue Jing. He remained very cautious in his posture, only sitting on one side of his buttocks, with his body upright and his hands on his thighs.

"Don't worry, Director Chen, after all, I'm not some kind of demon... On the contrary, I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Xue Jing patted Chen Liang on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to make things difficult for you."

Chen Liang gave an awkward laugh. Although he didn't quite believe Xue Jing's words, he felt a little relieved after hearing the promise.

Realizing that Xue Jing seemed normal and had a good temper, at least from his words, Chen Liang relaxed a lot and started chatting with him.

"Mr. Xue, let me introduce you to the 'Infinite Nova,' one of the largest and most luxurious cruise ships in our Fifth Metropolitan Area..."

……

Xue Jing was undoubtedly a good listener. He didn't get distracted or give perfunctory answers while Chen Liang introduced the cruise ship. He would also ask questions that hit the nail on the head from time to time, greatly satisfying Chen Liang's desire to express himself.

Chen Liang, who was initially fearful and wary, gradually realized that the boy in front of him seemed to be a really good kid, and his attitude became much more relaxed.

Chen Liangcai reluctantly ended his conversation with Xue Jing after the ticket check-in time was up, and personally led him through the ticket gate, onto the ship, and through security.

During the process, Xue Jing honestly entrusted the Futu Knife to the staff for safekeeping. Chen Liang knew that this action was meaningless; even without the knife, Xue Jing was still an extremely dangerous person.

But this action meant that Xue Jing was a person who was willing to abide by the rules, which made many people on the ship, including Chen Liang, breathe a sigh of relief.

This was an enormous cruise ship. When Xue Jing stepped onto the deck, if it weren't for the slight swaying, he wouldn't have felt like he was on a ship, but rather like he had arrived in a small city.

The first thing that catches the eye is an amusement park that resembles a water park, with a large swimming pool and water slides and other recreational facilities. At that moment, many people were playing around in their swimsuits.
