How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 57 - 57 57 Gene Realm II Awakening

57: Chapter 57 Gene Realm II: Awakening?

57: Chapter 57 Gene Realm II: Awakening?

He had seen this painting before.

When he saw it, there was no title, nor were these ten words inscribed.

That morning in the library, the woman he met drew him this painting and wanted to give it to him, but didn’t he have something else to attend to?

He left, and didn’t take the painting.

Now, this woman had completed the painting with a title and inscribed a verse, and sent it to the Detective Agency.

“Who is the person in this painting?” Miao Ruolan blinked and asked.

“Handsome or not?” Lin Xiaosu counter-questioned.

“A bit…

pretty handsome!”

“Since he is a bit handsome, it could only be me,” Lin Xiaosu said.

Miao Ruolan’s expressive eyes glanced around: “Then… about the person who did the painting for you, who is she?”

“Coincidentally, I was also about to ask that question.”

Miao Ruolan said, “You don’t know her?”

“To say I completely don’t know her would be a lie.

I’ve seen her a few times in the library, but we don’t even nod in greeting.

It was just this morning when she suddenly said ‘Hey’ to me and then told me she wanted to give me a painting.”

“I think she’s a bit mysterious!” Miao Ruolan said, “When she was waiting for a car outside the window, she looked back, and that glance felt somewhat complex.”

Miao Ruolan raised her hand, pointing out the window to a tree.

That was a southern Chinese parasol tree.

A gaze a bit complex?

How complex?

Lin Xiaosu stared out the window, his gaze suddenly detached.

Cars and horses on the road in his eyes seemed to rewind like a tape.

He saw that woman standing under the parasol tree, her gaze…

How to describe that look?

To say it was complex wouldn’t really be accurate, it didn’t look complex.

But it indeed was somewhat strange.

It seemed she was looking at something in front of her, yet the focus of her gaze seemed to be on the distant horizon.

What do you call that kind of look?

Detached!

Like a big personality observing all the beings in the world.

You feel she is right beside you, very approachable, but her gaze had never really focused on you.

A mosquito, attracted by her fair, tender, and moist neck, headed towards her jade-like neck.

It looked like it was about to succeed in collecting nectar.

Suddenly, a strand of hair fluttered up, striking the mosquito, turning it into a mist so faint it was almost invisible.

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes blinked involuntarily…

With that blink, he naturally exited Reverse Time…

“What’s wrong?” Miao Ruolan’s gaze lifted, a bit surprised.

She had been with Lin Xiaosu for some time and could sensitively perceive the subtle changes in his expression.

Just now, he had clearly seen something that shocked him.

Lin Xiaosu exhaled softly: “It’s almost late May now, mosquitoes are becoming more plentiful!

Ruolan, as Ancient Martial Cultivators, do we have some unimaginable method to repel mosquitoes?”

Miao Ruolan laughed, stretched out her hand swiftly towards her feet, and slowly opened her palm.

There was a mosquito in her palm, fluttering, its legs trapped between Miao Ruolan’s fingers.

“Like this?” Miao Ruolan smiled.

To be able to catch a mosquito in midair with just a stretch of a hand, this is the power of an Ancient Martial Cultivator.

Lin Xiaosu looked at her hair: “Can you, without moving a finger, use one of your hairs to smack a mosquito dead?”

Miao Ruolan glanced at him: “Do you think I’m an immortal?

Even if my True Qi advances a level and really reaches the realm of Flying Flower Picking Leaves that can harm others, how can I control my own hair so precisely?”

“So in your understanding, if someone can use a hair to smack a mosquito, it’s an immortal’s technique?”

Miao Ruolan said, “In the Ancient Martial system, this kind of realm is probably equivalent to an immortal’s technique.

But that’s just the Ancient Martial system.

In modern society, Ancient Martial arts have declined, genetics are prevalent, and whether the genetic system has such miraculous methods, I truly don’t know…

Why suddenly ask this question?”

“Nothing much…

just that it’s summer, and there are more mosquitoes…”

Miao Ruolan laughed, “You surely aren’t thinking of using Rejuvenation True Qi to open a circuit in your scalp, just for swatting mosquitoes, are you?

Don’t be so imaginative, I’ve already bought mosquito coils, with the fragrance of olive chrysanthemum, it smells very nice, take a whiff…”

She really took out a box of mosquito coils, letting Lin Xiaosu smell it.

Lin Xiaosu closed his eyes to smell it, his mind once again returning to the spine-tingling scene just now.

That woman could use her hair to kill a mosquito, and throughout the whole process, the mosquito was outside of her line of sight.

What kind of terrifying method was this?

If it’s Ancient Martial, Miao Ruolan had said it was an immortal’s technique.

Ancient Martial arts have already withered away.

Lin Xiaosu was more inclined to consider her a Genetic Master.

Can genetics really achieve such miraculous feats?

Certainly, genetics truly encompass everything – some creatures’ hairs are not hairs but tentacles!

If such genes are implanted into a human body, would they turn human hair into tentacles?

Regardless of the possibility, this method is startling and exceptional.

Its miraculous level far surpasses Chang Ye and 88.

Chang Ye, Xinyue, 88, no matter what, they are still human.

But this woman, she no longer seems human.

Could this be the Second Realm of genetics: Awakening?

If she really is in the Second Realm, then the question arises – Awakeners are dominant figures in every country around the globe; what kind of virtue and ability does little Fengcheng have to attract such a grand Buddha?

Why is she intentionally making friends with him?

“It’s noon, let’s go out for a meal!” Lin Xiaosu said.

“Great, let’s have the best today!” Miao Ruolan exclaimed.

Her mood had fluctuated greatly today.

After the crisis had passed, it was all clear skies again, and she felt they deserved to treat themselves for surviving the ordeal.

Walking along the street, they went straight to a newly opened snack shop.

Lin Xiaosu stopped outside the door, looking towards the end of the main road.

The mysterious woman had left, taken a car out of Fengcheng, and got on the highway ten miles away.

After lunch, Miao Ruolan rode a small electric bike to work on a case.

This case was accepted yesterday, just a routine property investigation.

She told Lin Xiaosu that she could handle such cases on her own, and Lin Xiaosu was happy to see her do so.

This girl had learned a bellyful of surveying and detective theories and had followed him on some cases too.

It was time to let her handle some small cases independently.

After all, people have to grow up gradually.

And Lin Xiaosu, sitting in the reception hall—oh no, the small reception area—of the Detective Agency, was very relaxed with his left leg resting over his right knee.

Until the sound of a car horn came from outside.

Lin Xiaosu looked up to see Zhou Mei’s car.

He walked out and casually pulled down the rolling shutter door.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Xiaosu felt a sense of brightness before his eyes.

Today, Zhou Mei was not wearing her police uniform but a sky blue autumn dress with a pink jacket over it.

Her hair was down, and if he wasn’t mistaken, there was a light layer of foundation on her face.

Taking a gentle sniff, he couldn’t be wrong; there was even a scent of powder.

You have to say, with such an outfit, she truly reached a new height of beauty.

Zhou Mei, fundamentally, had an excellent foundation.

Due to her profession, she was often exposed to the elements, which darkened her skin, and her hair was usually tied up showing efficiency and sharpness.

But today, she overcame all that and revealed an entirely different kind of beauty.

Zhou Mei’s gaze swept over the Detective Agency: “Where’s Ruolan?”

“She went to work on a case.”

“You let her work on a case by herself and ran off to play?”

Lin Xiaosu smiled: “Do you really think I went out to play today?”

Zhou Mei’s brows slightly furrowed: “What do you mean?”

Lin Xiaosu said: “You forgot to ask me one question this morning, why did Liu Dong want to harm me?”

A light jump crossed Zhou Mei’s heart: “There’s someone else behind him!”

“Exactly, last night, someone gave him fifty thousand yuan to make sure he drove me out of Fengcheng, which led to today’s farce.”

Zhou Mei exhaled: “It makes sense now!

I was wondering, Liu Dong theoretically had no dealings with you, why would he suddenly pop up and issue you a ridiculously high fine that you couldn’t afford even if you sold your ancestral home!

So there’s another twist.

Who’s behind this?”

“It’s a driver, Boss Du Lifeng’s personal driver from Dell Company, who theoretically also doubles as a bodyguard.”

Zhou Mei was stunned…

Dell Company, in this county, no, the largest pharmaceutical enterprise in the city.

The largest merchant brought in by the county’s investment promotion eight years ago.

One of the top three companies on the tax list.

The enterprise selected by the county government as an outstanding business every year.

A company that holds an entire section in the government work reports.

The owner of this company is also one of the most distinguished entrepreneurs in the county, always seated in the front row or even on the stage at entrepreneurial gatherings, and his “base + farmer + enterprise” business model, known as the “Dell Model”.

With so many titles and such a prominent reputation, he has all the glory that the “boss” of the new era should have.

It’s him?

He wants to drive Fengcheng Detective Agency out of Fengcheng?

“Why him?

What…

what kind of grudge do you have with him?” Zhou Mei really didn’t understand.

“I’ve never met him before, and theoretically, there’s no link to his ancestors in my family tree, so why would there be any festering resentment?” Lin Xiaosu’s eyes slightly narrowed: “That’s probably what we are going to his place to figure out today.”

“He’s a big boss; even the head of the Investment Promotion Bureau probably has to make an appointment to see him.”

Lin Xiaosu blinked: “That’s why I’m inviting you to join me.”

Zhou Mei’s eyes widened: “This is your real purpose for asking me out today.

You’re using my uniform.

I failed to realize your intentions and even took off the very clothes you cared about.

There’s really no tacit understanding between us…”

A big boss, an entrepreneur who is highly valued even by the county’s higher-ups, how difficult is it for ordinary people to meet him?

Even an ordinary civil servant is unlikely to see him.

But a police officer is different!

With the name of investigating a case, where can’t you go?

Who can’t you see!

Lin Xiaosu you bastard, a simple “we’ll go out to play” made her wonder for an entire afternoon, her heart was in turmoil the whole afternoon, and after taking a bath and changing clothes and even applying makeup.

What’s the end result?

It was completely unrelated to the frills she had imagined.

He was merely using her as a banner, leveraging her special identity to knock open the big boss’s office door.

This really left Zhou Mei at a loss for words.

“It’s nothing!” Lin Xiaosu said: “You don’t need to wear your police uniform, and you don’t even need to show your badge, just report your real identity, and Mr.

Du will happily receive us.”

“That’s true, the dirtier someone’s butt, the more they will show their openness and amiability.

He will definitely meet us, but then what?” Zhou Mei said: “Then you’ll just throw out your detective findings?”

“Yes!”

“Do you think he will admit it?”

“He’d have to be crazy to admit it!”
