Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 12: Cultural Front (Part 2)
Li Lin felt that he was really wronged.
Although most players are motivated by profit, at least they are bleeding honestly, right?
He made a great contribution to the Holy Light, killed the old gods, became a pioneer and paved the way for the beginning of the war. Although his achievements were not as great as those of the gods, he was still a man of merit. At least his identity as a lecturer in the Holy Light Department was real, which was higher than his initial position in the History Department.
But why did such a situation of bloodshed and tears occur? He was clearly just conscientiously completing his task and trying to meet the requirements of others, so why did such discrimination on his face occur? If it weren't for this kind of discrimination, he wouldn't wear a mask to disguise himself in various situations. He originally thought that the Holy Light was a pure land, so why did such an incomprehensible thing happen? Why did the students make up stories about themselves?
Is it normal for heroes to bleed and cry? What is wrong with this world?
"Not all of it... just two-thirds..."
"I'll kill them all when I get back. You go on."
"Ah, um..."
Realizing that he might have said something wrong, George squatted on the ground obediently, expressing the respect a student should have for his teacher.
But after a while, George, as an agent, couldn't help but look up and say a few words to defend his unfortunate classmate.
"But I think you shouldn't blame them too much. In fact, they don't have any bad intentions, otherwise they wouldn't have become part of the Holy Light. It's just that, um, sometimes your appearance does cause a lot of trouble to many people."
"……ha?"
"Especially when you walked with Assistant Professor Sallys, many people even thought that Assistant Professor Sallys was a man and you were a woman. Some students even had gender identity difficulties. Others felt that they might have been tested by some kind of holy light, so they maintained a certain degree of hostility towards you. I think the main reason for this is that your appearance is really... well, you know."
"They can't tell the difference between men and women, and you want to blame me?"
"Ah, um, I think if I only look at your appearance and not your behavior and actions, I think it's normal that I can't tell them apart... No, the term "contrast cuteness" is popular nowadays. It seems that I can't recognize you even if I look at your behavior... If I think about it this way, is the instructor really a man? His voice sounds very neutral too..."
"Yes, yes. I also think it should be a girl. The body curves and shape are completely feminine, and the voice doesn't sound deep or hoarse. There is absolutely no problem."
“…”
Are you guys blind?
Li Lin glanced at George and Muse with empty eyes.
Although changing one's gender is as simple and quick as changing clothes in today's society, Li Lin feels that he is quite satisfied with his life and does not want to have too many burdens. Being a woman is really troublesome, with a lot of messy things waiting for you. Why be a woman? It's better to be a man.
"never mind……"
Abandoning some bad memories, Li Lin said to them directly:
"I am too lazy to say anything to you. Stop talking about these useless things. Anyway, I came here to look up information. I don't care what you think or how you arrange me. I just want the mission. Now, give me all the information, immediately. I will leave as soon as I receive the information and investigate it. I really don't want to stay in this damn place of yours for even a second. Isn't this a data storage room? Get me the information of the Holy Light Vanguard."
"But the Archbishop is not here, so we are not qualified to open the data room. He is on tour on an alien planet, so we can't do it now."
"Huh?! So when will he be back?"
"I don't know... Eh? Wait a minute, the archbishop is calling here."
Hearing the pleasant ringtone coming from his body, George's face suddenly changed. He stood up, picked up the communicator, and answered the call while standing outside the window.
Because of the soundproof barrier, Li Lin didn't hear what was said inside. But judging from the looks and instructions from George from time to time, it seemed that he had directly mentioned his own affairs. This performance was not bad.
Soon, without waiting for long, George took the communicator and handed it to Li Lin with a subtle look on his face.
"The Archbishop said he has something to trouble you with... I will take my leave now..."
As if a hot potato was thrown to them, the student quickly slipped out of the meeting room with a look of relief. But Muse stayed here, waiting for Li Lin's call to finish. She said that a woman's intuition made her feel that things would change soon or something like that. However, these people were used to talking to themselves, so Li Lin didn't hide it and answered the phone directly:
"Are you the Archbishop of this planet? I'm Li Lin. I'm here to extract some information from you, is that okay?"
"'Mr. Li Lin, right? George has told me the purpose of your visit. I will help you retrieve the information you want when I return. But I am holding a Galaxy concert in the near future and cannot go there for the time being. Please forgive me.'"
"Really? Can we just give them the permission?"
"' Of course you can, but we have a favor to ask of you...'"
"Hmm? What happened again?"
"'It's like this. We've been working hard here, but it's always very difficult to reconcile the people's ideas, so there will always be some manpower or safety issues. Many times, it's not that we want to do well, and others will accept it. People's hearts are hard to make up for. Even if you are wholeheartedly doing it for the good of others and for everyone's safety, there will often be things that are unacceptable.'"
"Then?"
"'Someone sent us an anonymous letter, saying that they wanted to threaten this million civilian idol event and make us lose face on Holy Light. The cultural front is also a front, and the fighting is very intense. But this time it has escalated to a threat, which is really difficult for us to deal with.'"
"A threatening letter? Can't you ask a prophet to find out where it came from?"
"'I can't do that. The other party is an old hand and has directed all the details in an irrelevant direction. But we can't just sit back and watch this happen, so please help me.'"
"So you mean the escort mission?"
Hearing a slight sound in the task bar, Li Lin raised his eyebrows at the task icon.
