Chapter 95

“Mr. K?”

That name made Leiyin pause for a moment. Then he realized, a possible candidate popping into his mind. “Ah, you mean... that Skywalker?”

“Skywalker?” The other person was visibly stunned, then burst out laughing, bending over and covering their mouth, gasping for air between laughs. “Hahaha, has that title spread so widely now?”

“?” Leiyin was completely confused.

In the past, he might have been at a loss or even apologized reflexively, thinking he had said something wrong. But now, without even realizing it himself, his personality had undergone a subtle transformation from the inside out.

So, he just gave a cool glance and frankly expressed his confusion. “Is there a problem with calling him that?”

“No, no, no problem at all. It’s just that he himself doesn’t really like being called that.” The person who had been laughing heartily seemed to finally catch their breath, straightening up bit by bit.

They looked at Leiyin matter-of-factly and explained, “It’s probably like, having a villainous persona but being given a heroic title by people who don’t know the truth. That kind of subtle discomfort, you know?”

As they spoke, the smile on their face seemed uncontrollable, the corners of their mouth stretching upwards to an exaggerated degree.

Leiyin finally got a clear look at this person’s true appearance.

Dressed in a clean white coat, with neatly combed short dark brown hair, and a face that looked inherently reliable, appearing inside this clean and tidy clinic, they gave off the image of a serious, dependable, and responsible doctor.

But their overly exaggerated smile, and the misty look in their dark brown eyes from laughing so hard, gradually chipped away at that serious and responsible image, turning it into something more frivolous and unreliable.

Leiyin frowned instinctively, leaning back slightly. Although he forced himself to stop this movement the next second.

But the other person noticed even this tiny detail. “You seem to have some aversion to me? No, not me, is it the clothes I’m wearing that’s making you uncomfortable? Well, can’t be helped, this identity happens to be a doctor after all.”

Leiyin: “...”

Although he hadn’t gotten a clear look at this person’s face when he first woke up, he felt that their current demeanor was subtly different from the moment they first came in with breakfast.

However, now was not the time to dwell on this.

As someone who had just been rescued with severe injuries, Leiyin could still prioritize. He smoothly ignored the previous comments and continued with the original topic: “So, the person who saved me last night was this Mr. K?”

“Of course, who else would be so free to go out in the pouring rain late at night and wander near a top-secret national research institute?” The unnamed doctor replied with a smile. “But it wasn’t last night, it was three days ago. It’s been exactly three days since you were rescued and brought here.”

“Three days?” Leiyin was stunned again.

“Yes, the commotion you caused was quite significant. I think you’ve probably guessed—for these three days, the news of the ‘Attack on the Empire’s First-Class Research Institute’ has been buzzing everywhere.”

As a direct participant in this incident, the vast difference between reality and the news was enough to make Leiyin question how many events hidden in darkness had occurred in his past twenty-plus years of life in this empire, only to be covered up by lies like “terrorist attacks” in the end. And how many times had the empire’s ordinary citizens been misled and deceived like they were now?

Did truth, justice, and righteousness still exist in this country? These intangible things seemed so elusive.

He had reason to believe that if the commotion that night hadn’t been too big to cover up perfectly, there wouldn’t even be news reports of terrorist attacks on TV now. Everything would have passed without a ripple, and no one would know that a bloody battle had taken place in the suburbs of Silver Capital.

And he would be secretly arrested in the near future, losing his freedom once again, lying on a cold experiment table.

After living as a good citizen for nearly thirty years, Leiyin’s trust in this country was completely shattered.

In less than half a year, his world had been repeatedly shattered and reassembled, then shattered and reassembled again.

First, he was forced to accept the sudden death of his parents, becoming a lonely island in this world, dazed and directionless. Then he unexpectedly gained a mysterious encounter, becoming one of those with mystical powers, and regained loved ones and friends, starting a new life... But just when his life seemed to be getting back on track and he thought he had found happiness again, everything vanished like a dream bubble. He not only lost the loved ones and friends he briefly had, but also lost his own freedom, becoming a pitiful prisoner, a mouse in a cage.

Having finally escaped, he faced the truly dark side of this country on a blood-red rainy night.

Behind that underground research facility was the Chenxing Empire.

The hell that shattered his dignity and freedom as a human being, attempting to strip him of everything, was created by the empire that was supposed to protect him. Even though he had temporarily escaped, they wouldn’t let him go.

Whether it was due to their relentless pursuit, for the purpose of self-protection, or to vent the anger in his heart that had nowhere else to go, out of the most basic desire for revenge, he had to do this. For the rest of his life, he must be an enemy of this vast empire.

This was something that could make one feel desperate.

Even though he now possessed power beyond ordinary humans, how could he, in his weakness, stand against an empire? This wasn’t some childish novel where a few words could make it happen.

Because his enemy was a country constructed by countless people, one of the most powerful countries on this planet.

Even now, when he had seemingly been rescued by a mysterious extraordinary known as the “Skywalker,” who likely had a special organization behind them – an organization powerful enough to help him avoid the Chenxing Empire’s first wave of arrests, allowing him to temporarily not worry about his safety – hope was still dim. Leiyin could only see darkness ahead.

Unless...

“Can I join you?”

The man on the hospital bed raised his head after a brief silence.

“Or rather, what do I need to do to join you?”
