The Male Leads Who Are Becoming Stranger and Stranger [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 21

Chapter 21

In today’s society, among ordinary people, there exist unknown superpowered individuals. People possessing special abilities that ordinary people do not have, surpassing natural existence.

Espers.

…

At nine o’clock in the evening, She Yi closed the door of the coffee shop, hung up the “Closed” sign, and turned to walk into the street.

The middle of the night is never quiet; with multi-colored neon lights and surrounding crowds that are not necessarily fewer than during the day, the flow of people is constant, and the level of bustle is even greater.

This point in time should not yet be the closing hour.

“Boss, why did you get off work so early today?”

From a distance, two young girls seemed to have seen She Yi’s closing movements, so they asked with a charming laugh as he walked toward them; they were clearly regulars of the coffee shop.

Naturally coming to a halt, She Yi tugged at the corners of his lips, revealing a gentle smile.

“Yes, there is something to attend to. I estimate… I won’t be open for a period of time.”

The girls, who were originally blushing a bit because of his smile, couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing the latter sentence: “Not opening? Have you encountered some difficulty? If you don’t mind, we can also help…”

“I’m very grateful for your kind intentions, but it isn’t anything difficult. Well, a friend asked me to help look after his child; I hope that kid won’t be too naughty.”

She Yi blinked; his humorous words made the girls burst out into laughter.

“The Boss is so gentle; any kind of naughty brat will surely become very well-behaved in the Boss’s hands.”

“Exactly, exactly!” the other girl echoed.

She Yi smiled slightly: “I hope it’s as you say.”

The girls, however, spoke with increasing enthusiasm:

“But the Boss still needs to go and return quickly; we are all waiting for you to reopen!”

…

After bidding the girls farewell and leaving, She Yi walked along the road in the direction of his apartment.

A stretch of dark zone: no lights, no cameras. Brawls occurred frequently; especially on a dark night like this, lawless elements lurked in the darkness, waiting for lost little lambs to fall into the net.

She Yi walked through at an unhurried pace. Distinguished by breath, he was not the only person here. Aside from him, the identities of the owners of the other breathing sounds were self-evident.

However, after walking through two-thirds of the dark zone, not a single person had come out to “rob” She Yi.

Strange?

Strange indeed.

If She Yi were someone who had just moved to this place with a fresh face with a slender and thin body he would naturally be categorized by these people as a “little lamb” or a “fat sheep.”

However, after misjudging him the first time, seeking death themselves the second time, and the third time… er, after seeing She Yi for the third time, they had already quite consciously detoured around him.

Therefore, when seeing that the one walking in was this “God of Slaughter,” the owners of the several breaths hidden in the darkness silently moved their bodies deeper into the shadows.

Why did he come back two hours earlier than usual! This is unscientific!

Before they could finish being shocked, they fell into shock again in the next moment—that God of Slaughter was actually blocked by someone!

Who?!

Who was so bold?!

Turning their heads together to look turns out it was those few newcomers.

Having produced several bags of melon seeds from who-knows-where, several people squatted down in the corner, watching the scene in front of them with great interest. A familiar opening line; very good, very good.

Everyone should be the same, as fellow travelers on the same path. We were beaten twice by that person; you cannot be exempted either, hohohoho.

In the darkness, several eerie gleams flashed.

On the other side, She Yi looked at the few delinquent youths blocking him. He wasn’t angry; his attitude was very gentle as he asked politely:

“Excuse me, is there something I can help you with?”

“Cut the crap, hand over everything valuable to you, otherwise… humph!”

The opponent produced a knife, shaking it threateningly.

“So, are you robbing me right now?”

“Nonsense, don’t make me say it a second time.”

“Children should not hold such dangerous objects; it wouldn’t be good if you accidentally cut yourself.”

Before several of the delinquent youths could even react, the person in front of them instantly vanished. At the same time, the hand holding the knife felt a sharp pain, and then they heard a magnetic voice that seemed to ring right by their ears.

She Yi stood in his original position, only with several more knives in his hand. Seeing the indignant gazes of the delinquent youths staring at him, he smiled slightly.

“These are confiscated.”

Having lost their tools for threatening people, and wary of the knives in She Yi’s hand and his prowess just now, although the delinquent youths were angry, they weren’t so angry as to lose their minds; they dared not act rashly again.

Seeing the opponent walking slowly toward them, they actually couldn’t help but retreat involuntarily.

The positions seemed to have completely swapped.

“Don’t be nervous, I just want to pass by you.”

The delinquent youths hurriedly made their way, but… talking is fine, but could you please stop playing with our knives? Damn, he plays with them even better than we do!

It wasn’t until She Yi’s figure left the dark zone that the youths reacted.

Why were they so obedient?

In the darkness, the few veterans were also completely bewildered.

What happened to sharing joys and sorrows?

It’s all to be blamed on that God of Slaughter for not playing according to the script!

…

Returning to the apartment, She Yi ate a bowl of porridge he had packed from downstairs, then walked into the bathroom to observe his “shell” for this world.

A gentle person.

At first glance, one obtains such an impression.

The features were soft, not as exquisite and beautiful as the previous world, yet also quite handsome and outstanding.

She Yi retracted the smile on his lips; his gaze darkened slightly, and in an instant, it was as if he had become a different person. Gentleness was gone, leaving only icy indifference. Under the light of the white lamp, his black hair sharpened his features.

If the gentle face just now looked harmless, then now it was the spokesperson for calmness and rationality.

Xiao Long climbed onto his shoulder, looking at the person in the mirror, tilting its head and blinking its eyes.

His gaze softened slightly. She Yi placed Xiao Long on the sink; when he turned around, he had completely integrated into the “She Yi” of this world.

“Mission.”

Spitting out a crystal bead that was completely out of proportion with its body, and once again making an effort to lick the saliva off of it cleanly, Xiao Long pushed the bead toward She Yi.

Extending a hand from the water, two long fingers pinched the crystal bead. She Yi closed his eyes.

This was a novel from an author’s pen, and it was a BE (Bad Ending) novel; at the final conclusion, the author had written the male lead to death.

She Yi: …

Inside, it mainly recounted that on the male lead Qin Tian’s fifteenth birthday, his family suffered an extermination. Of several hundred family members, the only survivor left was himself.

To the outside world, overwhelming rumors all said the Qin family colluded with enemy countries, betrayed national secrets, sold drugs, etc.; many ill-reputed crimes were pinned on the Qin family’s head.

For a time, all sorts of verbal abuse and loathing smashed frantically toward the Qin family, believing that the extermination was entirely deserved.

Of course, the male lead absolutely would not believe such fabricated charges; while in hiding, he angrily wanted to come forward several times to clarify, yet his strength was insufficient for his will.

When the male lead was at his wit’s end, he was found by a former friend of his father’s, then changed his name and surname so that he could stand under the sun again.

Afterward, it was about working hard to accumulate strength, connections, and indispensable power. Growing step by step, investigating the cause of the family’s extermination, and finding the culprit behind the scenes.

Revenge!

The general summary was the road to revenge for the male lead, Qin Tian.

This time, the character She Yi needed to play in this world was a bit subtle; it was actually a character that had never appeared in the plot, not even counting as cannon fodder.

However, his own strength was unexpectedly powerful.

「A powerhouse with few rivals in the world of Espers.」

This evaluation given by the System based on his own strength could it possibly be false?

She Yi’s consciousness continued to look further down.

[Main Mission: Protection.

Side missions will be read randomly.

World Difficulty Level: Grade B.

Note: The main plot must not be destroyed.]

Protection?

Thinking of the novel’s ending, She Yi arched an eyebrow.

So, this means he is supposed to change the BE into a HE (Happy Ending)…?
