Chapter 23 Deterrence
“Power awakens.”

Tan Yanwen smiled and said, “Although it’s just a legend, I heard that the founder of my Chaoyang Martial Arts School had experienced power awakening, and there is indeed a way to communicate with the universe to awaken power, so it should be true.”

“There should be a way?” Lin Qing felt that what Tan Yanwen said was somewhat contradictory.

“Because the method exists, but no one can do it.”

Tan Yanwen shook his head slightly, looked at Lin Qing again, and said: “As far as I know, if the patrol system has enough merit, it can also learn these three awakening methods.”

“Three methods of awakening?”

Hearing this, Lin Qing immediately understood what Tan Yanwen was talking about.

When studying in the secret room of the Inspection Bureau, the hoarse voice said that if one achieved first-class merit, in addition to being able to freely learn four series of combat methods, one could also view three other special training methods.

It seems that those three special methods of practice are three ways of awakening?
Lin Qing couldn’t help but feel curious.

The method exists but it cannot be done?

Theoretically, as long as he can get started and as long as it is possible to achieve it, he can ignore the resources and directly advance the results.

So, he really wanted to give it a try.

Unfortunately, one has to obtain first-class merit to be eligible to read it, so I’ll have to wait until later.

“Don’t think too much.”

Seeing that Lin Qing seemed to be expecting something, Tan Yanwen couldn’t help but smile in surprise. It turned out that ignorance is indeed fearless.

He shook his head and smiled, “Power awakening is just a legend after all. It is said to be the power to directly control energy. Telekinesis awakening is also very rare. Even the gene awakening that seems to have the most hope will only have a little hope after you have mastered the original Chaoyang training method and approached the true limit of the human body.”

“The original Chaoyang training method?” Lin Qing finally understood how difficult it was.

There are three versions of the Chaoyang training method, version 46, version 77, and the final original version, also called version 89, with increasing difficulty.

Version 46 is close to the first limit of the human body.

The 77 version is the second limit. If you master two more tactics, you will be qualified to become a branch captain.

Anyone who has mastered the original Chaoyang training method and mastered a few more combat techniques would almost be a big shot at the level of the city bureau chief.

“It’s really hard.”

Tan Yanwen sighed, “Don’t think that I am an ‘excellent’ talent as assessed by the martial arts school. I think I have worked hard enough, but I still haven’t mastered the original Chaoyang training method, let alone the unattainable genetic awakening.”

Lin Qing could also understand the difficulty involved.

Although most of the elite talents have been transferred to urban areas, there are so many people in Lin’an City, and only a few have mastered the original Chaoyang training method.

The Qinghu Island prison escapee my cousin Chen Yanan met was probably at this level as well. He was indeed very scary.

……

After chatting with Tan Yanwen for a while, Lin Qing didn’t waste any more time. Anyway, he had already learned the 77th version of the training method, and he was waiting to go back to make up for the debt of the tactic “Agility”, so he said goodbye.

Ten minutes later, the unmanned driving took him to the gate of Junyuan community.

Lin Qing got out of the car and was about to walk home –

[Current order level drops by 0.5 levels]

A line of blood-red text suddenly appeared before his eyes!
It’s a danger to him!
And…it actually dropped by as much as 0.5 levels?
“Ok?”

Lin Qing’s pupils shrank slightly, and he pretended to be calm. He put his hands in his pockets, pressed the retractable knife in his pocket, and prepared to activate his fighting skills.

At this time, he saw a tall man wearing a black windbreaker, with slicked back hair, standing at the entrance of the community. His face was obviously pale, but he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, so his eyes could not be seen.

The man in the windbreaker just stood at the door, seemingly looking at him.

Lin Qing looked at the other person suspiciously and said, “Hello, please make way.”

At this moment, the man in the windbreaker suddenly reached out and took off his sunglasses, revealing his eyes.

“boom!”

The moment they looked at each other, Lin Qing felt that the other person’s eyes seemed to reveal a terrifying sense of oppression. An inexplicable chill rushed up from his tailbone, making him subconsciously take a step back.

Battle method? At this moment, he suddenly remembered the “Eye” in the God Change series of battle methods. It seemed to have the same effect as instinctive deterrence?

Lin Qing stared at the man in the windbreaker vigilantly. He had already prepared for an instant burst of combat.

The man in the windbreaker did not attack, but just looked at Lin Qing, suddenly smiled, and said: “Don’t be nervous, Lin Qing, I am an investigator specially sent by the government, and I just came to see you because of the recent incident.”

A special investigator?

Come and see?
If the order level had not dropped by 0.5 levels, which clearly showed the intention to kill, Lin Qing might have really believed it.

“Specially dispatched by the government? How to prove it?” Lin Weiwei frowned slightly.

“No proof required.”

The man in the windbreaker smiled and said, “I don’t plan to investigate you. I’m just taking a look. I won’t bother you.”

After saying that, he walked out of the community gate and left along the road without looking back.

[Order level increased by 0.5 levels]

At the same time, a line of green text appeared in front of Lin Qing’s eyes.

Just recovered like that?

He was a little surprised.

It seems that this mysterious man in the windbreaker came to find him on purpose and had no intention of staying in Tieshi Street, or perhaps the other party himself has no impact on public security.

Therefore, unless it targets him, the order level will not decrease.

Lin Qing glanced at the other person’s back, then turned and walked into the community, thinking silently.

“Just look at me? Haha…”

Naturally, he wouldn’t believe the other party’s lies.

The order level was restored, which meant that the other party’s murderous intent had dissipated. Perhaps the intimidation when they looked at each other just now was a test?
“This person is very dangerous… The order level has dropped by 0.5 levels…”

Lin Qing took a deep breath, and after calming down, he walked towards his home step by step with an expressionless face.

At this moment, his heart longed more and more for strength and security.

“I need to master the seventh-seventh version of the combat method as soon as possible and learn more combat methods as soon as possible…”

……

On the bleak street, a man in a windbreaker walked on the sidewalk, tapping his ear holes with his fingertips to activate the wireless headphones in his ear canal.

“Boss, it’s me.”

“Yes, I have just met the suspect Lin Qing, but I can be sure that he was not the one who killed Luotuo and Tiewu Luo.”

“First of all, he was not motivated enough.”

“Secondly, I just used the God Transformation series’ Eyes and Intentions to intimidate him. If he really has mastered the combat method Agility in such a short time, he will subconsciously activate the combat method when his instinct is intimidated. This instinct is very difficult to control.”

“Unless you practice the combat method to the point where it becomes instinct, you can control it. But after only learning the combat method for half a month, even mastering it is amazing. It is impossible to practice it to the level of instinct.”

“Under the threat of the Eye and the Will, he did not follow his instincts to activate his tactics. It is clear that he is still at the entry level.”

“Also, through the transmitter hidden in those coins by Camel, I found that the target was just a gangster from the Blue Scarf Gang. I interrogated him carefully and found that the gangster was just greedy and secretly took his money after Camel died.”

“This shows that the murderer who killed Luotuo and Tiewu Luo didn’t care about the money on the camel at all.”

“According to the intelligence, Lin Qing is currently short of money. His sister needs money, and he also needs money to practice martial arts. Just buying two sets of high-energy sustained-release liquid is definitely not enough.”

“Normally, an 18-year-old boy who is used to poverty would be greedy and take the baits left by the camel.”

“The headquarters also checked his phone’s GPS location track. He was indeed at home last night. I used his phone number to hack into the access records of several video apps he often used. He watched the TV series “The Gunman” all night.”

“So, based on the above, we can rule out Lin Qing as a suspect.”
