Chapter 482: Chapter 294: The night gave me black eyes, and I use them to discover black silk

"I am not doing this for my performance, I have no vested interest, it absolutely doesn’t constitute entrapment in the legal sense."

"Secondly, Uncle Yan, do you think any of the six people who were just caught are innocent?"

"Tonight I tempted many people, but only they took the bait."

"My fishing doesn’t make the good or neutral become evil, it simply reveals the evil side of those who are already evil."

"I don’t turn good people bad, I just make the hidden bad guys come to the surface."

"Yes, in front of me, they not only don’t gain any benefit, but they also face jail time, but... what if it wasn’t me they encountered?"

"What if one day, the target they set is just an unprepared ordinary person?

When the knife is at the victim’s throat, when things are taken with no surveillance to recover them, will you still firmly hold to your current answer, will you still think it’s wrong of me to send them to jail early?

You think I’m wrong, just because these robbers are considered the weaker group in front of me, but you should know, the completely unguarded ordinary people, they are the weakest!"

Lin Li eloquently articulated his points to Yan Aosong.

Clearly, this articulation was effective.

Yan Aosong closed his eyes, furrowed his brow, his expression complex.

Among the two groups caught tonight, indeed there were none who were innocent.

A child carrying gold in a market, having evil thoughts isn’t a crime, everyone harbors some dark thoughts to varying degrees.

Not being tempted by found money is a virtue, but keeping what you find could be seen as a human’s understandable dark side.

But darkness has levels, robbery and assault, such levels of evil thought, if acted upon, is certainly guilty without any argument.

Did they catch the wrong ones, no, Yan Aosong thought, if they weren’t caught today, they’d eventually land in the Demon Suppression Bureau for some other petty crimes.

Bufan will never change, that’s just their nature.

However, Yan Aosong couldn’t understand why an eighteen-year-old kid could have such understanding and conviction.

For a moment, it even made Yan Aosong feel ashamed of himself.

The hot blood that had cooled for years almost boiled, Yan Aosong wanted to transform into Xiling’s Gordon, to assist Xiling’s Black Silk Hero.

Coming back to his senses, luckily he almost said something impulsive.

He was a little curious, what exactly had Lin Li experienced in his life to have such profound ideas?

Yan Aosong opened his eyes, looking at Lin Li with firm eyes, hesitating, then he changed direction:

"Batman has absolute wealth, the best equipment, but even so, he constantly gets hurt, Lin Li, what do you have?"

Lin Li blinked.

——I have my mom, I also have the system. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In a superhero world, Batman’s monetary power isn’t that impressive, but his superpower in the real world is very impactful.

But these words can’t be said.

"Often walking by the river, there’s no way your shoes won’t get wet, Lin Li, your intentions are good, but if you continue like this, sooner or later you’ll get your eyes pecked by an eagle, I... I hope I never see that day.

A kid like you shouldn’t encounter these dangers.

Perhaps, you should take a gentler approach, to systemically and fundamentally protect the justice you crave..."

This is not a burden an eighteen-year-old should bear, so Yan Aosong advised kindly.

Lin Li blinked again.

Bro, you’re actually overthinking it, once we complete the mission we won’t do this anymore, it’s quite exhausting, the steps on WeChat workout are already 15,000—knowing that Lin Li spends all day in the library.

Although that’s what he thought, the words couldn’t be said, so Lin Li just stayed in character:

"That day, it’s too long."

Silence.

In the silence between them, it was still Lin Li who chose to break it, but his words were already of farewell:

"Uncle, I think I should go."

"Will we meet again tonight?" Without holding back, Yan Aosong looked up and asked.

"I don’t know." Lin Li shook his head, also looking up at the dark night sky: "Tonight’s night is really dark, I wonder what it foretells."

Yan Aosong turned his head to glance at Lin Li, his mouth twitching slightly.

You’re wearing a black mask over your eyes! Of course it looks dark to you!

"But perhaps not meeting again, is our best hope." Lin Li said lightly.

"Maybe." Yan Aosong sighed, responded softly, and then added: "We’ve already added each other on WeChat, I’m working the night shift tonight, if there’s any situation you can contact me directly."

"Thank you, uncle, then... I’m off."

"Hmm, but Lin Li, remember, no matter when, safety is the most important, Batman doesn’t have parents, but you do, if you get hurt in the slightest, they’ll worry." Yan Aosong’s voice turned softer.

Lin Li: "Uncle, I don’t have a dad either."

Yan Aosong: "..."

Shit, I’m such an idiot.

"I’m sorry."

"It’s okay, I’m used to it."

Lin Li walked forward, into the dark night.

"..."

"Some belong to the night, some belong to the black silk, night belongs to everyone, but black silk, it belongs only to me."

"Who says standing in the light is what counts as a hero?"

"I’m... Black Silk Hero."

"..."

In the night, the vow of the Black Silk Hero was heard.

Yan Aosong: "..."

What nonsense is he mumbling now.

Yan Aosong shook his head, tonight’s situation was really too complicated and frustrating.

Even, Yan Aosong felt a bit sentimental and worried.

Sigh.

Just as he was about to light a second cigarette to ease his worries, he heard footsteps ahead.

Yan Aosong looked up and saw Lin Li slouching back like a wilted eggplant, reluctantly, with another Demon Suppression Envoy beside him.

"What’s up, Changzi?" Yan Aosong questioned the Demon Suppression Envoy in confusion.

"Oh, Brother Yan, I just got back from duty, and I saw this masked kid sneaking out of our bureau, muttering incomprehensible nonsense.

It felt like he was up to no good, so I brought him back to ask some questions." The Demon Suppression Envoy answered.

Yan Aosong: "?"

Lin Li coughed awkwardly, lowering his voice: "Chief Gordon, save me, clear my name, I said I’m the Black Silk Hero, but your colleague doesn’t believe me."

"..."

"Slap."

Yan Aosong slapped his own forehead, then... burst out laughing.

This Black Silk Hero of yours... really lacks presence.
