Professor Yuan didn’t say it directly, but Li Hao knew what he meant. His professor was betting on himself that the Night Patrollers would act on this and not ignore his safety.

But Li Hao doubted it. Unless the red shadow was very powerful and intended to kill a lot more, the Night Patrollers might not really care.

Li Hao knew the people who controlled the red shadow would not give up so easily. Besides, Li Hao didn’t want to spend his life in hiding.

“Teacher, I still want to stay in the Inspection Office,” said Li Hao.

“You’re so stubborn!” said Professor Yuan, annoyed. “You know it’s dangerous and you still want to stay there! This is not courage; this is plain stupidity!”

“Professor… I might join the law enforcement team. Captain Liu extended an invitation for me to join. He said that the law enforcement team can protect me.”

“The law enforcement team?”

“Yes, and…,” Li Hao hesitated. “He said I might be able to enter… another field.”

Professor Yuan laughed. “Liu Long, that shrewd bloke, he still hasn’t given up. How could it be as simple as he expects? If it was that simple everyone would be a Super! I know everything he has done. It has never worked. That man simply doesn’t know how to give up.”

“But there are some things that you don’t understand, Li Hao,” continued Professor Yuan. “Obviously, Liu Long hasn’t told you. Killing Supers in itself is a suicide mission. If you succeed in that, there is the thing about drawing the energy into your body. The Night Patrollers have a 90% safety rate. Even if you fail to draw the energy into your body, you won’t die. But Liu Long’s method has less than 50% safety rate. If you are unable to draw the energy into your body. Then you might end up dead anyway.”

Liu Long had never mentioned this to him.

“I am sure, Liu Long made it sound very tempting and easy. But Li Hao, why do you think he has only a few people who are bold enough to follow him in his team? Liu Long had gathered dozens of people before. How many do you see now with him? Many have died fighting the Supers, many died in the process of absorbing the energy.”

Professor Yuan sighed. “If you want to really go down this path, I can help you apply for it.”

Li Hao sensed that he had put his teacher in a difficult position. The matter probably wasn’t that simple. Li Hao had a plan in mind. “Thank you, professor. But there is really no need for that.”

Yuan Shuo didn’t want to insist. He knew that the process wasn’t so easy. There was still a 10% chance of death. He didn’t want Li Hao to be in that 10%. He himself had tried and failed. He did not want his student to fail and then spend the rest of his life yearning for the mystical power. It would ruin his life.

Li Hao was relieved to find out that his professor knew about Liu Long and his actions. That made it easier to talk to him about his problems.

“Professor, I have decided to join the law enforcement team, I don’t think I will try their… methods but I do want revenge!”

“Your temper!” Professor Yuan sighed. “Fine. Do as you please. There is no use arguing with you. You are too stubborn. But, if you have the time, come meet me. Even if I can’t be of much help, I can certainly explain things to you. This path is not easy.”

Professor Yuan suddenly laughed. “You are really very persistent. Maybe it will be a good thing if you succeed. If I succeed in taking another path too, then maybe we can work together in the future without being under anyone’s control. Some people can’t wait to see me fail all the time. I am going to throw them aside sooner or later!”

Li Hao vaguely understood what he meant, but he didn’t ask. If Professor Yuan wanted to tell him, he would tell him outright. If he was holding things back, then he must have some reservations about it.

Li Hao made up his mind. He was going to join the law enforcement team.

The fact that his professor hadn’t tried to stop him meant that he understood Li Hao’s situation. Liu Long might have a lot of schemes up his sleeves but he might not mean any direct harm to Li Hao.

‘Red shadow … superpower … Here I come!’ thought Li Hao.
