"Your sense of justice is admirable, and I know some people truly deserve to die. However, your radicalism has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble. Are you aware of that?"
The inspector looked up at the boy. Though old and with a full head of white hair, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. But the boy met his gaze calmly, without a single change in emotion.
He began:
"Reporting to the inspector, I understand."
The voice was flat, as always, without any ripples.
"...Ah, really, you young people really don't show the slightest remorse!"
After a long stare-down, the elderly inspector gave in. He sighed wearily, flipped through the boy's resume again, and remained silent for a while, seemingly deep in thought.
"Li Cheng."
He suddenly called out to the boy.
"To!"
The boy's answer was full of energy.
"Your skills are no longer suitable for you to remain as an ordinary teammate, but your style of doing things prevents us from giving you a higher position or authority. Staying here won't help you anymore. However, there is a place that might be suitable for a reckless kid like you. There, you should be able to demonstrate more value."
The inspector looked at the boy in front of him and spoke slowly.
"The Azure Dragon Commando Team, have you ever heard of this squad?"

After a day on the train, I'm dizzy and lightheaded, and I can only manage one chapter after struggling for ages.
Is perfect attendance really out of the question for me? I'm so desperate!
Chapter 11, Section 208: The Dream of Battle
Taizhou, outside a remote village nestled in the mountains.
"Is this the place? The headquarters of the Blackwing Cult is located in such a remote place."
Putting down his binoculars, the young man spoke with a hint of surprise, though his expression betrayed no trace of it.
"Stay alert, newbie. These guys are very dangerous. There are at least five A-level experts, some of whom can take on two or more at once. I don't want someone who joins on the first day to die in the operation."
A middle-aged man with a stubble patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Captain, I'm not some reckless brat."
The young man clenched his fist slightly, smiled, and seemed to have flames burning in his eyes.
That afternoon, the Huaxia Alliance announced major news: the Black Wings cult, which used child sacrifices to obtain ancient demonic power, had been completely wiped out, and more than ten children had been successfully rescued.
Outside the village, which had been destroyed by fire, the young man endured the pain as he watched the magician in charge of medical care use his magic to gradually heal a hideous wound on his shoulder.
"Nice job, boy."
The unshaven captain walked up to the young man and, ignoring the fact that he was receiving treatment, slapped him, immediately causing the young man, who was enduring the pain of his skin and flesh sticking together, to groan.
"Now I understand why you were recommended by the former captain. Your combat effectiveness and resilience are truly only suitable for the Azure Dragon Commando."
"Please don't disturb others' treatment when you're speaking. You interrupted me!"
Before the young man could speak, the magician in charge of the treatment raised his head first, his eyes cold and his tone chilling. He even made a slight downward movement with his right hand, as if he intended to grab the giant mace he used in battle.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, Miss Nightingale, I didn't mean to."
The captain, who had just been looking smug, immediately shrank back, took a step back, and hid to the side with a forced smile, much to the amazement of the young man.
It seems that the captain doesn't have the greatest authority in this team.
The Azure Dragon Commando is a covert force within the special operations team, responsible for extremely difficult and complex operations against hostile forces. Therefore, they frequently engage in overseas operations and deal with extremely dangerous enemies, which makes their conduct much more relaxed. The young man's previously radical style, considered somewhat unusual within the Special Branch, is perfectly normal here.
There was no problem with harming criminals, and even killing them wouldn't incur any potential liability. Although each mission was quite dangerous, it was much better than before, when chasing criminals and breaking rooftops would result in complaints. The young man discovered that he genuinely liked this place.
In particular, all the team members here are talented, and they all speak in a very interesting and pleasant way.
After completing the treatment, the young man stood up. Not far to his side, several other team members were leading the rescued children toward the arranged transport vehicle, which made the young man look over.
These children were used as sacrificial offerings by the Shadow Church. Many had suffered immense torture, such as having their eyes gouged out, fingers cut off, or even being castrated and having parts of their bodies skinned off. Many of the rescued children had numb expressions, as if they had lost all emotion. The young man noticed that several of their bodies were badly ulcerated, with maggots crawling in and out. This caused him to clench his fists, then slowly relax them.
Those vicious cult members have been eliminated. I did the right thing. Only by killing them can we stop more people from suffering and stop more innocent people from sacrificing themselves.
And this is precisely my duty, my pursuit, and the meaning of my existence.
Keep watching me, Mom.
"Excuse me, what's your name, big brother?"
While the young man was still lost in thought, his clothes were gently tugged. He looked down and saw a thin child standing in front of him, with a curious and longing expression on his face.
Oh, he remembered the child. When they stormed the village and reached the underground altar where the high priest resided, the child was placed on the altar, about to be burned alive by the high priest. He was the first to rush in, smashing the old man's head to pieces and rescuing the child.
"My name is Li Cheng."
Thinking of this, the young man smiled and reached out to pat the boy's head.
"My name is Kuntai. One day, I will become as powerful as you!"
The boy seemed quite excited, jumping up and down and shouting loudly while waving his arms.
"Yes, you can definitely do it!"
The young man smiled encouragingly. The boy wanted to say something more, but was pulled away by the team members who were transporting the surviving children. He looked at the young man with some resentment before slowly leaving.
What a vibrant child! Even in such a dark and cruel place, he can still be sunny.
The young man's mood, which had been clouded by the sight of those oppressive and dark evils, improved slightly. Just then, the captain announced the assembly, and he quickly rushed back.
……
Perched on a small tree in the forest, tide watched the young man leave with a strange expression, then watched the boy named Kuntai slowly walk away, and then thought about what had happened during the month she spent with Li Cheng when they first met. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"All I can say is that Cheng is an idiot."
Finally, she could only sigh softly.
"How could a kid who's been in a place like this for so long be sunny, cheerful, and energetic? Idiot, big idiot, moron!"
But didn't I already know that this man was a fool? And wasn't I a fool myself for giving so much for this fool?
Honestly, when did I start becoming like this?
With a soft sigh, tide's figure quietly disappeared into the woods.
……
I had this inexplicable feeling of emotion just now, what was it?
The young man scratched his head, walked to the team's assembly point, returned with his teammates to the team's secret base, changed back into his usual clothes, and then went back to his rented cabin.
By this time, it was completely dark, and by the time the young man opened the door and went back inside, it was already midnight.
Inside the living room, she lay asleep peacefully on the table. The food was laid out on the table, kept warm by a magical spell.
Is she waiting for me to come back?
The young man was somewhat surprised. He carefully approached the girl, not wanting to wake her from her deep sleep. Getting closer, he could even see glistening liquid dripping from the corner of her mouth; her sleeping posture was rather unseemly.
"Pfft pfft—"
He couldn't help but chuckle softly. The young man genuinely felt amused and happy, but at the same time, he also felt a little heartache. After thinking it over, he slowed down, picked up the girl, put her on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with a blanket.
"What an idiot! He has to work too, why does he have to wait until so late?"
Somewhat puzzled, the young man returned to the living room. Looking at the delicious-looking food on the dining table, his hunger grew even stronger. He sat down and quickly devoured the food.
good to eat!
The young woman's craftsmanship, as always, amazed the young man.
I really don't know if I can get used to not having her cooking.
You should know that during this period, he had already started to dislike the food in the Special Science Department's cafeteria. The food steamed and stir-fried in those big pots now seemed like inedible stuff to him.
It's easy to imagine how picky the young man's appetite had become.
Wait, why am I even thinking about this question?
The young man paused slightly with his chopsticks, somewhat surprised by his own thoughts.
At first, I was just marveling at the quality of the girl's cooking, so why did it turn into thoughts of whether I could leave her?
Shaking his head, the young man, oblivious to his flushed face, stopped thinking, quickly finished his meal, washed the dishes, and prepared for bed. Just as he finished washing up and was coming out of the bathroom, the girl yawned and walked out of the bedroom, their eyes meeting.
"You're back, Cheng. It's so late."
"Yeah, that's true. Things are pretty complicated with the new squad, so we've been busy for a long time."
"Is nothing wrong?"
"How could anything happen? It's just getting familiar with the work. Okay, it's so late, you should rest. We have to continue working tomorrow."
"Okay, no snoring today!"
"Hehe, I'll try my best."
"If you dare snore, I'll strangle you!"
The conversation was relaxed and pleasant, just like their daily interactions, except that when the young man went to rest in the bedroom and the young woman went to wash up, she turned her head, looked at the closed bedroom door, and whispered something:
"Fool."
The young man inside paused for a moment, but did nothing. He simply changed his clothes quietly and went to bed to rest.
Being an idiot isn't so bad, is it?
