Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 1: The Gift of Holy Light
"Hahahaha, Brother Li Lin, you're back too!"
But what came over was not only Sally's warm body and sweet words, but also a thunder-like laughter came from outside.
The faces of the people from the Curse and Demon Departments changed immediately. They took out various equipment while cursing and subconsciously teleported away. The people from other units also showed a somewhat inexplicable look. Sally's palm instantly burst into a layer of angry blue veins, and she almost pressed her hand directly into Li Lin's chest. In the direction where the sound came from, a dazzling light flashed almost instantly. Sally looked at the light and just made a sound, then became invisible.
The next second, a group of bald men came over and laughed at Li Lin, which made him feel cold. Especially those people from the history department looked at Li Lin with a subtle look, saying, "It's a pity for this idiot, how could he be harmed by the holy light." Li Lin always felt that these men seemed to be doing something messy again.
But now he was already on the pirate ship, and he couldn't express any opinions to his old boss, so he could only force a smile.
"Isn't this the professor? What happened?"
"Hey, why are you calling me professor? There's no need to be so distant. We are good soldiers from the same department now."
The big bald man laughed loudly and patted Li Lin's shoulders. If he hadn't maintained his white knight status, he would have been slapped into the floor.
"Your last mission was outstanding, and it gave our university branch a big sigh of relief! You made those bastards in the headquarters say that we were just talking big. Among all the attack echelons, you were the first one! You made our university proud! Although the entire planet was unfortunately not saved because of the demon's biological weapons, your contribution cannot be erased. After all the attack echelons are settled, we will give you the honor you deserve at the oath-taking ceremony!"
"Ah, well, thank you very much. But I think I should mainly supplement my knowledge of archaeology now. I think I should make a contribution to the cause of archaeology. For example, find some relics left over from ancient times, identify treasures left over from history, etc. -"
"Hey, don't say such a depressing thing. Archaeology is about finding history, but you are creating history. You are much better than them!"
The bald man from the Holy Light Department waved his hand, and the entire mission hall was filled with light.
Other bald heads also crowded over, a bunch of tin cans. You said Holy Light Nova, a new era for mankind, and I said that we will kill demons and ghosts today. We will kill 88,000 demons on the first day. If it is less, someone in Holy Light will betray us. As Li Lin's smile became more and more bleak, the researchers around him looked at him with more contempt.
A group of researchers looked at the stiff Li Lin with resentment, especially those in the history department.
We can't defeat the big bald heads of the Holy Light Department, but can't we defeat you, Li Lin? You are a traitor and traitor of the History Department. We have known for a long time that you have an affair with the Holy Light. Now you come to our History Department to join in the fun. You are simply a model of shamelessness. You eat the salary of two departments. Are you worthy of the Holy Light behind your head? Are you worthy of your identity as a lecturer of the Holy Light Department? You claim to be from the History Department, but what have you done in the History Department? Do you have any information?
Facing the piercing gazes of the lecturers and associate professors, Li Lin felt like crying but couldn't. What could he say? The Holy Light dragged him to various places to torment those ancient evil creatures. He didn't want to do that. He had to win to survive. If he won, it would be like this. What could he do? Was it because I was too strong?
"Hey, stop talking. I'm here to give you a gift this time."
After praising him for a while, under the increasingly harsh gazes of others, the bald professor patted Li Lin on the shoulder:
"Don't expect anything else. Of course, it's your reward. We in the Holy Light will never treat meritorious people unfairly. Compared to those stingy Alliances and Demons , we in the Holy Light will not let you feel the warmth of the organization alone. Not only will the government award you merits at the ceremony, we will also give you gifts in private!"
"…What gift? Equipment?"
"Haha, of course it's the gift that best suits your status!"
Seeing Li Lin's eyes suddenly light up, the bald Holy Light professor smiled widely.
"We know that you have been alone all this time. It is not easy to sneak in alone, and there is no one you can trust and use. We in the Holy Light Department don't have anything particularly good to give you. So the organization decided to assign you a perfect knight squire! She has the ability to become ethereal, and has always admired you and is willing to accompany you through life and death. This time, she also took the initiative to ask to be your squire and prop. The most important thing is that she is here now-"
"Hello, Vanguard Officer. I am your eternal follower, Holy Spirit Angel."
In silence, behind the bald professor, the girl with six pairs of wings, who was almost the embodiment of light, slowly walked forward, opened her eyes as bright as sapphires, and looked at Li Lin with a sweet smile.
"I will be your sword, your shield, your most loyal servant and companion, accompanying you to the end of the world. Even the power of the void cannot separate our bond. Although we are separated by a chasm, we will still feel each other. I hope you will be a great hero, and I hope you can believe everything about me. I will serve you forever, until death separates us."
The girl took Li Lin's hand, smiled gently at his appearance, and tiptoed over to kiss the corner of Li Lin's lips to fulfill the oath.
However, just when those crystal clear and tender lips were about to touch each other, a terrifying wave suddenly erupted from the side.
The angelic girl was suddenly restrained by an invisible force. Although her smile was still frozen, her eyes were trembling, and she looked pale. She was fixed without any ability to move, and could only watch in horror as a demon-like figure slowly emerged from behind Li Lin.
"…What do you want to do?"
Looking at the terrifying figure, the bald lecturer with his arms crossed over his chest also revealed a mocking expression that was totally inconsistent with his character. He waved his hand and brought out a bright light, directly pulling the little girl back behind him. He crossed his arms, making a series of tut-tut sounds, and looked at Sallys, who was holding Li Lin tightly and had a distorted face, and said mockingly:
"Oh my? Isn't this teaching assistant Sally? I'm sorry, but your figure is so small that I didn't even notice you."
