I'm a villain in the superhero world.

Ji Mingyang had considered that since returning last night, his life might no longer be peaceful.

But he didn't expect the peace to be shattered so quickly.

After listening without batting an eye this morning to the girl he had picked up describing the extraordinary world and explaining why she had been searching for him for a whole year…

He was completely stunned.

The words Yin Qing had just spoken were still echoing in my ears.

The Social Security Bureau, the Jurisdiction Council, the Seal Number, the Son of Yin and Yang, the Dragon Emperor, and the Yin-Yang Bureau that ambushed him during the interview.

This series of worldview expansions forced him to look up at the ceiling, hoping he was dreaming.

And he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt a dull pain in his chest, as if something was trying to come out of it.

All the troubles piled up at once, making him feel increasingly agitated.

He wanted to talk to someone, and Yinqing was clearly not the right person.

Although the girl said she was there to protect him, Ji Mingyang was still quite wary.

Because of the faint flutter in his heart, and after concluding that the girl wasn't lying when she said she had been searching for him for a whole year,

Allowing her to stay temporarily was already the limit that Ji Mingyang could accept.

Therefore, at this point, there is actually only one person left to choose from.

That's why all of that just happened.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ji Mingyang stood alone by the snack street along the coastal highway, waiting for Lü Buyi to arrive.

Because he had video-called Lü Buyi, who looked like his grandfather when he was young, more than once.

So when Lü Buyi appeared before him, Ji Mingyang recognized him at a glance.

Upon seeing him for the first time, Ji Mingyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

[The Moon] is no ordinary person. Just as I guessed, he is probably the same as Yin Qing, only he found me earlier.

But unlike Yin Qing, he was very strong, at least stronger than himself.

From Ji Mingyang's perspective, the oppressive aura emanating from Lü Buyi was almost tangible, like a raging flood, making it difficult to look directly at him.

The reason Ji Mingyang could see this wasn't because his perception was particularly sharp, but because Lü Buyi made absolutely no attempt to conceal it.

He walked across the road in casual clothes whose style was indiscernible but whose price was certainly considerable, and slowly approached Ji Mingyang.

"I skipped my breakfast to get here to see you. Want me to buy you something to eat?"

Lu Buyi's avatar was half a head taller than Ji Mingyang.

So he spoke with his head slightly lowered, his tone as relaxed as when they occasionally talked on the phone.

It was as if he didn't care at all whether Ji Mingyang would misunderstand his intentions because of the imposing aura he displayed.

It seems he simply came to see his friend.

"...Didn't you say your breakfast was expensive? Why didn't you finish it before coming back? It's a bit of a waste, isn't it?"

Lu Buyi said nothing about Feifan or his own aura, and Ji Mingyang asked nothing either.

He acted just like Lü Buyi, as if he were simply having a casual conversation with a friend he had known for three years.

"Are you going to invite him or not? Your old father has come all this way, are you really going to just watch me go hungry?" Lü Buyi asked with a light laugh as he walked forward.

"So what are you going to eat? Let me make this clear, I can't afford anything too expensive—" Ji Mingyang shrugged and followed him into the food street.

Lu Buyi eventually ordered a hot dog from a street vendor, got a basket of steamed dumplings from a Shaxian snack shop, and then let Ji Mingyang follow behind to pay the bill.

"Don't you have something bothering you? Tell me about it."

Taking a small bite of his hot dog, Lü Buyi strolled along the coastal road with Ji Mingyang, one in front of the other, and asked softly.

"Suddenly, I felt like I had nothing left. Apart from a slight discomfort in my chest, I had found the answers to some things."

As Ji Mingyang spoke, he picked out a dumpling from the steamed dumplings that Lü Buyi had packed and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I only have ten." Lü Buyi raised an eyebrow.

"I paid for it," Ji Mingyang said, as if he were a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Lü Buyi didn't dwell on the topic much: "Are you familiar with Haidu?"

Ji Mingyang glanced at him: "Although I came from an orphanage, I did indeed grow up here."

"Then there's no problem. Now that your worries are gone, Xiao Yangzi, why don't you accompany me for a stroll?"

"Yes, sir!"

Ji Mingyang is good at providing emotional value; at least he can avoid being a spoilsport.

In fact, simply by walking, two extraordinary people could walk the entire ocean without getting out of breath.

However, in order to enjoy the scenery better, Ji Mingyang still took Lü Buyi to experience the unique features of Haidu, namely the coastal bus.

"I see there are special tourist sightseeing vehicles over there, why don't you take one?"

"Because it's cheap."

Ji Mingyang's answer made Lü Buyi shake his head and smile, but he didn't spoil the mood by saying that he would pay for everything today.

He and Ji Mingyang were friends. Putting aside their destiny as the children of Yin and Yang, they were truly friends who had spent three years together.

That's what friendship is like.

Just as Ji Mingyang said, the coastal bus is indeed very cheap, and the scenery is quite nice.

There were many people sitting in the back of the bus, either children or young people—all from out of town.

Some of them came to travel with their older siblings during the holiday, while others simply came to see the scenery.

There was no tour guide on the bus, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Along the coastal road of Haidu, Lü Buyi and Ji Mingyang chatted idly.

They talked about all sorts of things, from their lives to the view outside their windows—

In short, the two of them tacitly avoided discussing anything extraordinary; at least, they both felt that the time was not yet right.

The bus wasn't actually that noisy; at most, people like Lü Buyi and Ji Mingyang would talk in hushed tones.

That's just how the environment is in Dongxia; both children and young people are too socially anxious.

Lu Buyi once experienced a Greyhound tour, a unique experience in North America, which was much more lively in comparison.

At that time, having just taken in Kukulkan, he was extremely bored and wandered around with a group of equally drifting vagrants.

Occasionally, I would hear them chatting and bragging together, and on the highways of North America, I would hear them singing awful songs.

However, without friends around that time, it was less fun.

Time flies, really flies.

Before they knew it, it was noon. Ji Mingyang was treating again. He had worked many temporary jobs in his spare time and still had some savings.

He carefully selected a dish and eventually treated Lü Buyi to a plate of spaghetti from a roadside stall.

"How is it? You're always abroad, is this pasta authentic?"

"I think it's very rude to talk about whether a pasta dish that costs less than 20 yuan is authentic or not."

Noticing that the boss was looking this way, Lü Buyi politely refrained from complaining.

In a cosmopolitan city like Haidu, a pasta meal costing less than 20 yuan is already a great deal.

After finishing my meal at the roadside stall, I watched as the owner withdrew his satisfied gaze.

The two of them did not immediately board the coastal bus.

Instead, at Ji Mingyang's suggestion, they went into an internet cafe side by side and booked a private room.

With their reaction speed, no matter what game they play, it's a game of overwhelming power for ordinary people.

After repeatedly crushing the weaker opponents, the two walked out the door satisfied.

It's already afternoon, and the sunlight in the sky is already somewhat dim.

Lü Buyi let out a breath and laughed loudly, a rare occurrence for him.

"It's pretty good. To be honest, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. The last time someone accompanied me to travel around and do whatever I wanted was when my older brother was still alive."

Ji Mingyang couldn't respond to this, but Lü Buyi clearly didn't intend to delve into the topic further.

"You've led me around for so long, now it's my turn to take you somewhere..."

"Where?"

Lu Buyi did not answer, but as Ji Mingyang walked on that all-too-familiar road, he knew his destination.

That was the place where he had lived for more than ten years...

That little place he rarely missed growing up—the orphanage where he was raised.

This orphanage had been abandoned for several years. It was originally planned to be demolished and rebuilt, but the plan was never realized.

The place is now deserted, and the things that Ji Mingyang cherishes have disappeared with the passage of time.

He didn't ask Lü Buyi how he knew; why ask such a foolish question?

"Why did you bring me here?"

Instead of answering him directly, Lü Buyi pulled out a document from somewhere and gave it to him.

"Open it and see, it's a gift for you."

After opening it and glancing at it briefly, Ji Mingyang understood what it was... it was the ownership of the orphanage in front of him.

"How did you manage to do that? I thought this place belonged to a foreign bank."

Ji Mingyang asked, but he soon regretted asking such a foolish question.

Because Lü Buyi's answer made him realize just how evil capitalism truly is.

"I bought that bank."

Ji Mingyang was speechless at that casual remark and could only look at him with a resentful expression.

Then they went inside and toured the long-abandoned orphanage. Ji Mingyang even pointed out his old bed to Lü Buyi.

Nothing was actually left there, except for Ji Mingyang's own memories.

They didn't stay there long and soon resumed their walk.

From the suburbs to the coast, from overpasses to beaches—

They walked until dusk, enjoying the beautiful day like long-lost friends.

Ji Mingyang knew that Lü Buyi had come for him.

Perhaps it was the solar power he possessed, as Yin Qing had mentioned.

Perhaps, like those people at the interview, they wanted to take him away immediately.

To put it more bluntly, perhaps their initial online encounter was all planned.

But... what does all this really matter?

They are friends, so isn't it only natural to forgive lies and motives?

That's what men's romance is like; it's hard for others to understand.

Even if Lü Buyi came to kill him, he could guarantee one thing—

They remain friends.

Therefore, in the twilight of the evening, Ji Mingyang did not ask Lü Buyi about his purpose or intentions; he simply asked:

"How much do you know about me, and the power within me?"

Lu Buyi was not surprised that he asked this question. He had read the original work and knew what kind of person Ji Mingyang was.

"I know everything, I know everything about you."

Ji Mingyang was somewhat skeptical of Lü Buyi's answer.

"for example?"

"For example, a young girl came to you last night and probably explained some basic facts about the Extraordinary World to you, right?"

"Do you know her?"

"I don't know her. She's not at the level of knowing me. I just know that she exists."

Lü Buyi was rarely humble, not even when facing Ji Mingyang.

"Want to know why I've come to see you?"

"What?" Ji Mingyang said this somewhat nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned about matters concerning himself.

"That thing you told me about today, the strange thing about your body—that's what I came here to deal with."

"What is this? Is it dangerous?"

"It's quite dangerous. The sooner we deal with it, the better. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

"You're very strong?"

"Um."

How strong is it?

"It's hard to say, but in the Far East region as it is known, there is probably no one stronger than me."

Lu Buyi found that after he said those words, Ji Mingyang actually became somewhat eager to try it out.

"What, even judging from your aura, you know there's a gap between you and me, yet you still want to spar with me?"

"From the time I was born until now, I have actually traveled to many places with this strength in me - I have met many people with extraordinary abilities, but even if they are all combined, they are not as good as me."

Ji Mingyang turned to the side and said softly, "Old Lü, you are the strongest person I have ever met, but I am not entirely convinced."

Lu Buyi's lips curled slightly as he watched the twilight deepen on the horizon, chuckling softly.

"Heh... You should be upset, that's good. Only dogs submit to humans—"

After saying that, he stretched out the nail of his right little finger...

"Then let's have a fight. If you lose, you'll have to listen to me and let me take care of your problems."

"To be fair, if you can make me move one step next, you win."

"I only use this little finger—I'm sorry, I don't have a more vulnerable spot than this."

Facing Ji Mingyang, whose body was slowly being covered by a layer of pure solar power.

Lü Buyi said this.
