Become a Knight Across the World
Chapter 345 Encountering Ye Chen Again
This summer vacation, Lin Yue enjoyed some peace and quiet, spending most of her time in her room reading and doing exercises to prepare for her upcoming senior year of high school.
That day, Lin Yue was doing her homework in a coffee shop when she suddenly received a message from Zhuang Changwu.
Zhuang Changwu: "Senior, we have made ample preparations this time. All the monster strongholds around the world have been located. This time, we will eliminate all the monsters and restore peace to the world!"
Lin Yue was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"
She immediately replied to the message to find out what was going on, and that's when she roughly understood.
Since the last recapture of City X, the government has acquired and studied various advanced technologies from City X, thus mastering even more advanced technologies, including a global surveillance system.
The satellites that rose into the sky monitored and located human territory, that is, the area outside the barrier, and quickly learned the location and appearance of all the strange groups around the world.
“I’ve eliminated all the monsters that recently invaded the barrier. The order from above is for all Kamen Riders worldwide to launch a global purge! Senior, can you come with me?” Sho Changwu asked.
"I don't really want to go. I believe in your abilities," Lin Yue replied, confident in Zhuang Changwu's strength. With Zhuang Changwu's current power level as the Supreme Emperor Zi-O, dealing with those monsters would be a piece of cake; it would just take a bit of time to sweep across the globe.
"Okay, then I'll remove your name here." Although Zhuang Changwu was a little disappointed, he still wanted to be with Lin Yue: "Then I'll remove your name as well as your friend's name."
"Okay, thank you for your help." After chatting for a while longer, the two hung up the phone.
But for some reason, she still had some worries. Would the world really be at peace once all the monsters were eliminated?
.........
It would be some time before their plan was realized, so Lin Yue decided to leave it at that. After all, Zhuang Changwu's strength was undeniable, and Lin Yue had already reviewed the various strange tribes around the world that had been scanned, and none of them could stop Zhuang Changwu.
Even if there were threats he couldn't stop, Zhuang Changwu's communicator could immediately contact Lin Yue and send his location in real time even without a signal, allowing Lin Yue to instantly arrive through the dimensional barrier.
With that thought in mind, Lin Yue felt relieved. She looked out the coffee shop window and realized it was almost 5 p.m., which meant she had been sitting in the coffee shop all day.
Summer days are long and hot, so for her, spending time in an air-conditioned coffee shop is the best option, whether from the perspective of saving electricity or anything else.
It's getting late, time to go home.
Lin Yue stood up and walked out of the store. It was hot, so she was wearing a simple white T-shirt, with the hem casually tucked into the waistband of her denim shorts.
The tight denim shorts seemed like a second skin to her, perfectly wrapping her round and perky buttocks.
Looking down, you see a pair of impeccably beautiful legs, straight and long, with smooth lines as if meticulously drawn by the Creator, and the skin gleaming with a delicate and warm glow in the sunlight.
On her feet were a pair of clean little leather shoes paired with long white socks, which added a touch of lightness and dynamism to her casual yet eye-catching outfit. As she left the coffee shop, she naturally attracted many admiring or lewd gazes from behind, which roamed over her body without any attempt to hide it.
Lin Yue was used to it. After all, she had been spied on like this too many times. As long as the other party didn't come up to cause trouble, she wouldn't care too much about it. Besides, she was thinking about other things at the moment.
Oma Zi-O hasn't appeared for quite some time.
Although Oma Zi-O is no match for her, he always revives after about a month after she defeats him. Almost three months have passed since she last defeated him, and there has been no sign of Oma Zi-O's revival.
This is very abnormal. She also asked the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao said that it did not sense anything unusual about the sealed small world.
As Lin Yue was thinking this, suddenly, a person in the alley to her right caught her attention.
The man was wearing tattered clothes, and his right arm and left leg were gone. He was lying on the ground with a bowl and a cane in front of him.
Strangely, this person was not dirty at all; on the contrary, he was quite clean, clearly someone who paid great attention to his hygiene.
Although beggars are rarely seen in society, this unusual beggar is rather conspicuous.
He was probably a pitiful person who had suffered setbacks in every aspect of life. Lin Yue sighed, took out a banknote, and walked over.
She knelt down and placed the banknotes in the bowl.
The man sensed something, and upon seeing the banknotes in the bowl, he looked up with a flash of gratitude in his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, both of them froze.
"How could it be you?" Lin Yue exclaimed in surprise. She never expected that the beggar was someone she knew.
"Lin Yue! It's you!" A glimmer of hope flashed in the man's eyes. Yes, this person was none other than Ye Chen, the once arrogant medical genius!
"Lin Yue! Help me! You can definitely help me!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Ye Chen's eyes the moment he saw Lin Yue.
He struggled forward and grabbed Lin Yue's leg, pleading, "Please, I haven't had a place to stay in so long... I apologize for harassing you before... I have nothing left..."
Lin Yue felt a mix of emotions. The arrogant and conceited medical genius who used to harass her had now fallen into such a miserable state.
Ye Chen's downfall cannot be simply summarized by the word "unlucky". His previous power, connections, and medical skills were enough to allow him to maintain his dignity even when he encountered setbacks.
There must be extremely tragic reasons behind how things have come to this.
"Let go." Lin Yue's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable coldness. Being held by the legs made her feel very uncomfortable.
Ye Chen shuddered at the coldness in her eyes and subconsciously let go of her hand, but the pleading in his eyes became even stronger.
Lin Yue stood up and looked down at him: "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
She didn't say anything more and turned to walk out of the alley.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly grabbed the crutch and broken bowl on the ground with his one arm. He didn't care about his image and almost rolled and crawled, extremely disheveled, using one leg and the crutch to support himself, trying his best to keep up with Lin Yue's pace.
Each jump seemed exceptionally difficult, the stumps and crutches making a dull "thud" sound as they hit the ground, echoing in the quiet alley.
Lin Yue didn't take him home or to any upscale places. Instead, she took him around several streets and found a family-run hotel that looked relatively clean and inexpensive.
The receptionist, an older woman, looked at Lin Yue with surprise and curiosity when she saw a pretty young girl bring in such a disheveled disabled man. However, after Lin Yue calmly paid for a week's room, she wisely refrained from asking any further questions and handed over the keys.
The room was small, with only a bed, a table and a chair, but it was clean and had a private bathroom.
But for Ye Chen at this moment, it was nothing short of paradise.
Upon entering the room, Ye Chen was completely exhausted. He slid down to the floor against the wall, panting heavily, his face flushed from the intense exercise.
Lin Yue closed the door, blocking the view from outside. She pulled up the only chair in the room and sat down, her gaze calmly fixed on Ye Chen.
“Now you can speak.” Her voice was exceptionally clear in the small space. “How did you end up like this? I remember you were doing so well before.”
Moreover, Ye Chen is the chosen one of this world, a protagonist-type character, how could he possibly end up like this?
Ye Chen slumped to the ground, his body trembling again at Lin Yue's question. He lowered his head, his disheveled hair obscuring his expression, only his violently heaving chest revealing the turmoil in his heart.
His story is a tragedy of falling from the clouds into the mud, and then being trampled into hell.
“The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it…” Ye Chen said bitterly, his voice like a broken bellows, “Back then… things were too smooth. My medical skills, reputation, connections, and… the women surrounding me.”
When he mentioned "women," his tone carried an indescribable complexity, a mixture of nostalgia and deep-seated pain.
“I cured several difficult and complicated diseases, and my reputation in the industry soared. Even some higher-ups treated me with great respect. I opened my own clinic, invested in some businesses, and made a fortune. At that time, I felt like the whole world was at my feet.” A trace of past glory remained in his voice, but it was quickly swallowed up by deeper darkness.
“I’ve met a lot of women…all kinds. There are heiresses from prominent families, socialites and wealthy ladies, and also…girls with no background but who are kind.” He paused, as if recalling those faces, his breathing becoming a little rapid.
“Back then… I really enjoyed that feeling. I felt so charming being among them… Looking back now, it was incredibly stupid!” He slammed his one arm into the ground with a dull thud, his face filled with regret.
