Chapter 18 Master of Disguise Xu, Black Knight, Xi

Fang Chang and Detective Shi walked together outside the headquarters. Detective Shi turned around and said, "I'm going to have lunch now. Shall we go together, or meet at the Kowloon East District Police Station after lunch?"

“Let’s go together. We can talk about the case.” Fang Chang said with a smile. “I think we have a lot in common.”

"Tch!" Detective Shi was clearly not very convinced. "Let me make this clear first, I'm a casual eater, so don't blame me if you don't like it!"

"Haha, I'm not a picky eater!"

Kowloon Library.

Fang Chang peeked out and immediately understood why Detective Shi had parked the car there.

"He's here to pick up his best buddy, Black Knight Xu Xi."

Knowing this was one thing, but putting on an act was another, so Fang Chang smiled and asked, "Detective Shi, weren't we going to eat? What are we doing here?"

Detective Shi rolled his eyes. "Waiting for a friend, he'll be here soon!"

In the original storyline, Detective Shi lived up to his name—unyielding and as tough as a rock. He repeatedly fought against 701, even after being betrayed by his only friend, Black Knight Xu Xi, but he never gave up.

He was like a stone that had severed all emotions and desires; as long as he lived, he was either fighting the gang or on his way to fight the gang.

As for Xu Xi, the Black Knight, he was an instructor in a former Soviet special forces experimental unit, a pitiful man whose sensory nerves had been removed. As one of the first and last experimental subjects to undergo sensory nerve removal surgery, his and Special Forces Unit 701's purpose was to complete all sorts of impossible missions.

Taking advantage of their lack of pain sensation, they can perform many counterintuitive actions:

For example, they could impersonate a dead person covered in wounds, then suddenly go on a killing spree. As long as their bodily functions are not completely destroyed, they can continue to act; calling them human robots wouldn't be an exaggeration!

This terrifying squad has always been a headache for countries around the world.

This headache persisted until the disintegration of that great power...

Xu Xi was supposed to be silenced, but she managed to escape thanks to her superb skills, marksmanship, and exceptional special forces qualities.

Subsequently, Xu Xi came to Hong Kong Island, changed her name, and became an ordinary librarian, immersing herself in self-study every day, from medicine to philosophy, hoping to find her lost "feeling" in the vast sea of ​​books.

Of course, given the less-than-ideal social environment in Hong Kong, he would occasionally transform into a knight-errant in the middle of the night to strike down criminal gangs.

One is a stern-faced detective, the other a reclusive swordsman. Fang Chang has absolutely no idea how these two became best buddies.

If I had to pinpoint the reason, it would probably be their shared sense of justice that drew them together.

After all, although Xu Xi often advised Detective Shi to leave some survivors when dealing with bad guys and not to kill them all, Black Knight never showed any mercy behind the scenes.

Xu Xi: What do you want from me, Xu Xi, about the things Black Knight did?

A few minutes later, a fit man strode over, seemingly greeting a few acquaintances along the way, looking every bit like an office worker meeting up during his lunch break.

Running to Detective Shi's car, Xu Xi was surprised to find that there were other people inside. So she approached, without saying a word, just looking at the two people in the car with a simple, harmless smile.

Xu Xi, the master of disguise, has a truly amazing smile. It makes you think he's a genuinely kind person, the kind who's 100% genuine.

If Xiahou Wu's signature smile is the gentle, reserved smile of a riddle teller, then Xu Xi's smile is the smile of students who have been told there's no homework during school holidays—simple, clean, and harmless.

"Life is like a play..." Fang Chang secretly made up his mind that he would become a good actor in the future. A big shot who can't act is not a good lead actor!

"This is my new colleague, Officer Fang!" Detective Shi introduced Xu Xi, and then continued to Director Fang, "This is my friend, the librarian, Xu Xi!"

"Hello, Officer Fang!" Xu Xi reached into the car window to shake hands with Officer Fang, but then realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate, so she pulled her hand back, scratched the back of her head, and chuckled sheepishly.

This whole thing was so smooth and natural, it really established his character. If Fang Chang hadn't known the plot, he would have definitely been left with the impression that "this simpleton is an honest man."

Fang Chang secretly gave him a thumbs up, then replied, "Hello, hello~ My name is Fang Chang! Known as the 'Young Master Who Calculates Three Steps at a Time,' I'm an office worker!"

"Wow? Officer Fang, that's an amazing nickname, hahaha!"

"Oh, not at all! Your profession is truly impressive; you're destined for great things!"

"Officer Fang, you're such an interesting person!"

"You don't know the most interesting thing about me! Hehe~"

……

"Hey, hey, hey! You two, have you had enough? Are you even going to eat?" Detective Shi said with a dark expression, feeling like his best friend was about to be kidnapped. "Get in the car now!"

A roadside fried rice noodle stall.

Fang Chang and his two companions sat around a small square table chatting.

"You're so stupid! You don't even know how to fight back when you encounter bad people! If you keep doing this, they'll only become more and more arrogant!" Detective Shi began to give Black Knight Xu Xi a profound ideological education, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

Xu Xi smiled without saying a word, only nodding slightly.

His seemingly honest smile and humble nod were, in Detective Shi's eyes, full of perfunctory attitude.

"Hmph! You'll regret this one day!"

“Indeed, bad people should be punished enough for their evil deeds, otherwise good people will have nowhere to seek justice,” Fang Chang interjected with a smile.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Xi's eyes as she asked, "But some people aren't inherently bad. Shouldn't we give them a chance to change?"

“Sure,” Fang Chang said affirmatively.

After speaking, he tilted his head and gestured for the two to look at the street. A teenage boy with blond hair, carrying a thick wooden stick on his shoulder, was collecting protection money from an old woman who had set up a stall by the roadside.

"You bastard!" Detective Shi narrowed his eyes and was about to get up to teach that blond-haired kid a lesson, but Fang Chang raised his hand and pressed him down, making him unable to move.

Detective Shi shrugged, shaking off Fang Chang's hand, and frowned as he asked, "What? Do you know him?"

Xu Xi glanced at Fang Chang's hand that was holding Detective Shi without showing any emotion, and said, "I saw it, and then what?"

"Minor mistakes and misdeeds are fine as long as you learn a lesson and make amends to those who were hurt," Fang Chang said with a smile. "But it's difficult to distinguish right from wrong when it comes to many people and things."

"You think that kid shouldn't have been beaten up?" Detective Shi raised an eyebrow.

“They deserve a beating,” Fang Chang said slowly. “What I mean is, for minor offenses like this, we can completely trust that they can change.”

"As for serious crimes, every second they take an extra breath is a provocation against the law."

Detective Shi looked at Fang Chang speechlessly, for the first time he had seen someone more radical than himself.

"What do you mean by 'judicial' and 'provocation'? I don't think you really know much about the law." Detective Shi looked suspicious. This civilian police officer didn't seem very reliable.

Hmm, but it suits my taste perfectly!

"Then how do we judge good and evil, right and wrong?" Xu Xi asked with great interest.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to this question." Fang Chang shrugged, sighed, and continued, "Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes; matters at the grassroots level are the most dangerous! That's why I chose to join the criminal investigation team."

"I can't predict whether a good person will do evil in the future; I can only guarantee that an evil person will not continue to do evil."

"Tch! Nonsense!" Detective Shi couldn't stand it anymore and got up to "educate" the blond-haired kid.

"You mean, if we encounter bad guys, we'll arrest them one by one?" Xu Xi asked tentatively.

"Hehe." Fang Chang took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed one pair to Xu Xi. "You know, I'm an office worker, and I might get nervous or scared in an emergency."

"Police operations are bound to result in accidental injuries," Fang Chang said with a mysterious smile.
