Heroes Return

"Little sister, tell your older sister if they did anything strange to you," Lin Wan asked the little girl beside her.

The little girl was wearing a newly bought pink dress, and her hair was tied into two pigtails by Lin Wan. The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she pointed at Xiao Zhan and said, "When we first met, this brother was poking me all over with a weird stick, which made me feel really strange."

Lin Wan looked at Xiao Zhan with the eyes of someone looking at a pervert.

"Wait, that's a misunderstanding. The stick he was talking about is my weapon... I..." Xiao Zhan quickly explained, but it seemed to make things worse.

"What did I tell you? He's a pervert. If I hadn't stopped him in time, who knows what he might have done." Lin Jie then added insult to injury, "Isn't that right, little sister?"

"Yes!" The little girl nodded.

"See, your brother isn't a pervert, is he?"

"Brother Lin snatched Brother Xiao's stick." The little girl nodded, and then her words plunged Lin Jie into the abyss of perversion: "Then Brother Lin also wanted to poke me with the stick."

Lin Wan hugged the little girl even tighter. At the same time, her gaze, which had previously been that of someone looking at a pervert, had completely transformed into that of someone looking at trash.

"Although those two are complete freaks, don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on them." The bespectacled man said to Lin Wan, whose eyes had sharpened, "You can ask her if you don't believe me. I'm very good at taking care of children."

"My brother, who's into lolis, is really good to me. He not only promised to give me delicious food, but also promised to take me out to play." The little girl echoed the bespectacled man's words. Compared to Lin Jie and Xiao Zhan, the little girl was closer to the bespectacled man.

"A lolicon brother?" Lin Wan's eyes sharpened even more.

"This is a misunderstanding. I'm not like those two guys," the bespectacled man quickly explained.

"I don't believe it. In any case, this child can't be left with you. It's really not reassuring," Lin Wan said.

“No,” Lin Jie said to Lin Wan. “I’ve already told you, this child is being targeted by a dangerous organization. It will be very dangerous for you to be with him.”

"I don't care," Lin Wan said stubbornly. "I must take this adorable child home."

"This is not the time for you to be willful," Lin Jie said. "What if the enemy attacks our home?"

“Isn’t it you who’s here? I heard you took down a B-level superhero in one go,” Lin Wan said. “Besides, you three men wouldn’t know how to take care of a child at all.”

“Who said we can’t take care of children?” Lin Jie retorted.

“That’s right.” Xiao Zhan, who was standing to the side, said, “I’ve taken very good care of her, haven’t I, little sister?”

After hearing Xiao Zhan's words, the little girl happily said, "Yes, my brother is so good to me. After he took me home, he gave me all kinds of spicy snacks."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Let's go, listen to your sister. Stay away from these freakish men from now on. When we get back, I'll cook you some of my best dishes." With that, Lin Wan pulled the little girl towards home, leaving the three speechless men behind.

"Why are you feeding her spicy snacks all the time at home, you pervert? You've turned a perfectly good little girl into a brainless idiot!" Lin Jie said to Xiao Zhan with dissatisfaction.

"How dare you talk to me like that? Who gave your sister the impression of being a pervert? Wasn't it you?" Xiao Zhan retorted to Lin Jie.

"I'm a pervert? How am I a pervert?" Lin Jie said, dissatisfied.

"Who was it that shouted in public, 'I'll teach anyone who dares to steal our little girl a lesson!'"

The bespectacled guy decisively chose to ignore the two perverts in front of him. In fact, he also had the task of contacting Dong Xue'er every day. In this era where mobile phones and electronic devices could be interfered with and exposed, the bespectacled guy's ability had become the most suitable means of communication.

Seeing the bespectacled man disappear from sight, Lin Jie and Xiao Zhan also stopped arguing.

"What do we do now?" Lin Jie asked.

"I'm leaving the little girl in your care. If you can't handle that either, I'll just be throwing my life away," Xiao Zhan said.

"So what are you planning to do?" Lin Jie asked.

"I need to go back and upgrade my weapons, and then I need to set up the special recording glasses in the designated location," Xiao Zhan said. "I used my companies to investigate, and at least 8% of what Dong Xue'er said is true."

“Alright, let’s split up then,” Lin Jie said. “I’ll take care of the little girl’s safety. You do what you can.”

As he spoke, Lin Jie was about to chase after Lin Wan.

"Wait, is it really okay to involve your sister?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Don't worry, she'll be perfectly fine," Lin Jie said confidently. "The person I want to protect will definitely not get into trouble again. Most importantly, we really don't know how to take care of children."

Watching Lin Jie's departing figure, Xiao Zhan muttered curiously, "Why did he say goodbye?"

……

That night, inside the Xiao's Building, a slender, dark figure broke through all the building's surveillance and alarm systems, making her way to the top floor.

Shadow is one of the professional assassins trained by Evolution Corporation. Although she only has a C-rank strength, her assassination and stealth abilities far surpass those of most elite agents trained by the World Government.

Her mission tonight was not difficult for him at all: to assassinate the latest Evolution Corporation deal and E-class hero Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen seemed to be working on something in his studio. Meanwhile, the shadows had quietly crept into her room, and she clung to the ceiling, her body becoming the same color as the ceiling. The moment Xiao Zhan stepped out of the research lab, he could kill him in this room.

Not long after, Xiao Zhan came out of the room.

"A good opportunity." Shadow thought to herself and made her move, but at that moment her attention was drawn to what Xiao Zhan was holding, causing her to miss the best opportunity for assassination.

"What exactly is that thing?" Shadow looked in surprise at the pixelated stick-like object that Xiao Zhan was holding as he entered the living room.

"My plasma cleaning stick, version 3001, is finally finished." Xiao Zhan said, carefully examining the weapon in his hand for a while.

"That's his signature weapon. Why do I feel like blushing and my heart is racing when I see it?" The shadow stared in shock at the pixelated stick-like object in front of him.

"Let's try it out," Xiao Zhan said, activating the plasma cleaning stick in his hand. A series of vibrations filled the room. Not only that, the head of the pixelated stick in Xiao Zhan's hand began to sway irregularly.

The shadow on the ceiling was now completely red. "This...this thing isn't a weapon, okay? How could anyone use such a freakish thing as a weapon?"

Ignoring the inner roars of the onlookers, Xiao Zhan took out a cup.

'A cup? What is he going to do?' At this moment, the shadow's gaze was completely drawn to Xiao Zhan's every move.

As she watched curiously, a stream of milky white liquid suddenly spurted from the mosaic stick in Xiao Zhan's hand. Xiao Zhan thus caught the entire cup of steaming white liquid.

"It's...it's so realistic...it's really...it's just too insane." The shadow on the ceiling thought, but Xiao Zhan then did something that made his jaw drop.

He drank the glass of white liquid in one gulp, and after finishing it, he couldn't help but lick the residue off his lips.

"This...this is too perverted! He actually drank it! After making such a perverted thing, he actually drank it, and he even seemed to enjoy it? Does he usually have this kind of hobby? This man is really unfathomable! Just how perverted does a man have to be to drink this, even if it's a girl..." The shadow on the ceiling was now completely thrown into chaos.

"The sweetness is just right, so I can have a sip of hot milk anytime I'm fighting in the future," Xiao Zhan said.

"Oh, it's milk! That makes sense, how could any man actually drink that kind of stuff?" The shadow on the ceiling suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Next, let's try out the brand new combat suit." As Xiao Zhan spoke, he seemed to activate some device, and then his entire body was covered in mosaic.

And just like that, a humanoid creature with its image blurred out appeared in the room, holding a stick-shaped weapon with its image blurred out as well.

"It's become something incredible!"

"Let's try the maximum power next." With that, Xiao Zhan pressed a button on the weapon in his hand, and it immediately began to spin rapidly. With the powerful spin, white milk was flung everywhere. Even he himself was covered in milk.

"This won't do, it's leaking milk when it's at maximum power..."

At that moment, in the shadows' eyes, a creature with a mosaic over its face and an unidentified white liquid mixed in with its body appeared in the room.

"It's turned into something absolutely disgusting!" Even the shadow on the ceiling couldn't remain calm at this point.

Chapter 15

The shadow could no longer conceal itself; for a simple reason: a figure blurred out was splattering white milk everywhere with a stick-like object. Although she knew the liquid was milk, as a young woman, her body instinctively tried to avoid the milk droplets being thrown at her.

"Who are you?" Xiao Zhan asked, looking at the woman who suddenly jumped out from the ceiling.

"The one who will kill you." The shadow then dropped his disguise and pulled out a laser dagger.

"Did Chairman Ouyang send you, or did Evolution Company send you?" Xiao Zhan asked.

“You don’t need to know.” The shadow said as she charged at the mosaic-like creature before her. She had had enough of this filthy thing polluting her mind. All she wanted now was to kill this filthy thing with a single blow.

Just as she rushed towards Xiao Zhan at incredible speed, she was splashed with white milk. At the same time, a black object, blurred out of focus, flew towards her.

Faced with the blurred black prop, Shadow couldn't control her womanly instincts. She screamed and backed away, dodging the unidentified object. Although she didn't know what it was, Shadow instinctively didn't want to touch it.

"Luckily, I was prepared." Xiao Zhan said, pressing a switch on the wall. The next moment, the wall flipped over. To the astonishment of the shadowy figure, several walls in the room flipped simultaneously, revealing hundreds of unidentified, pixelated, rod-like objects stuck behind each wall. One end of each rod pointed directly at the shadowy figure.

This is what the eye in the shadows sees at this moment.

Numerous pixelated stick-like objects appeared on the surrounding walls, all pointing towards her. In the very center of the room, a humanoid pixelated object mixed with white spots was slowly approaching her, the pixelated stick in its hand continuously spraying milky white liquid in all directions.

The object was slowly approaching him, lewdly saying, "Miss, would you like some milk first..."

The scene was so beautiful, you'll have to imagine it yourself.

"As expected... as expected, I still can't fight this disgusting thing!!" The shadow had completely lost the will to fight under this scene. This had nothing to do with level or strength. If you were to seriously fight a pile of shit, I believe you wouldn't be able to do it either.

Shadow then used his dagger to slit the glass behind him and leaped out of the building.

After leaping a considerable distance, the shadow finally stopped on the top floor of a building. Perhaps influenced by Xiao Zhan, the shape of the Xiao Zhan Building now looked strangely similar to…

Unlike Xiao Zhan's home, Lin Jie's home was quite peaceful. Lin Jie was in his room catching up on the latest anime he hadn't watched yet, while Lin Wan was in the bathroom with the little girl.

In the bathroom, Lin Wan was washing the little girl's hair, and the little girl was playing with the bubbles in her hands.

"Okay, stop playing around. Let me rinse the foam off your head," Lin Wan said.

"Look, sister." The little girl held out the foam in her hand to Lin Wan, and the foam turned into a girl with a ponytail in front of Lin Wan.

"Huh? Isn't that me?" Lin Wan exclaimed in surprise, "How did you do that?"

"I don't know," the little girl said after thinking for a moment.

"Could this be the reason why my brother said someone wanted to capture her for research?" Lin Wan wondered to herself.

Then the bubbles in the little girl's hands turned into two men holding weapons.

"Ah! It's my brother and Xiao Zhan!" Lin Wan exclaimed in surprise.

Then the foam formed a pair of glasses.

"Ah! That's the guy with glasses who was with my brother and the others," Lin Wan said. "You're really something."

And so, laughter filled the small bathroom.

"As expected, my sister is the best at taking care of kids!" Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the laughter coming from the bathroom.

……

About an hour later, when Lin Jie came out for a drink of water, he happened to pass by his sister's room and heard Lin Wan's voice coming from inside: "Later, Jia Baoyu..."

Lin Jie, puzzled, pushed open the door and entered Lin Wan's room. She found the little girl and Lin Wan both lying on the bed. Lin Wan was reading a thick copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber," while the little girl was staring wide-eyed at her surroundings. Lin Jie was certain she hadn't understood a thing.
