What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 89: Ten Cotton Candies

The others didn’t notice Qiu Wuji in the distance.

The couple, Chef Jin and his wife, approached and expressed their gratitude, pleasantly surprised. “Third Brother, you’re amazing! If it weren’t for you, we would have been in big trouble today.”

“It wouldn’t have been a problem. Your flash bombs are so incredible that once you run out, you’re already on the main street. He wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.” Chu Ge humbly replied, although he was actually not trying to show off and really wanted to go talk to Qiu Wuji…

Fortunately, although according to the usual procedure he needed to make statements and go through a series of troublesome tasks, Lin Wuyang gave him a backdoor option for now. “I see you’re wearing a mask, indicating that you don’t want to reveal your identity and affect your life. The department supports this. Later, I’ll find you privately for some questioning. If you want to go back now, you can.”

Chu Ge understood that Lin Wuyang was intentionally making it convenient for him and whispered, “Hey, won’t people find it strange if Chief Lin acts like this?”

“What strange things can they say? We caught a serial killer. This is a big deal! If a concerned citizen doesn’t want to expose their identity and be retaliated against, what’s wrong with that? We should protect them! I’ll even help you apply for a reward for valor and the bounty for capturing the fugitive, alright?” Lin Wuyang said with righteousness. “That’s it for now. I can still find you if needed. We’ll talk later.”

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment and whispered, “If you ask him about my ability, I hope you can keep it confidential.”

“Keeping it confidential from the public is inevitable, but it’s unlikely to keep it confidential from the superiors. However, if there’s any development, I’ll let you know.”

“That’s fine.” Chu Ge really wanted to know what exactly Rong Fu had copied and how he managed to turn a ferocious criminal into an idiot while he himself remained unaffected.

At this moment, Rong Fu had already been knocked unconscious, and the police dragged him into the police car like a dead dog. When they turned to look at Chu Ge, their gazes carried a hint of curiosity.

This was a wanted fugitive who had been on the run for a long time and had taken several lives. The fact that this guy had single-handedly subdued him, while not even receiving a minor injury, should make him the focal point, shouldn’t it?

Lin Wuyang was also stroking his chin, assessing Chu Ge. “I feel like my luck has improved since reconnecting with my old classmate.”

Chu Ge sincerely said, “Chief Lin, with your background in Chinese language and literature, you’re always ready to write essays. Maybe it’s better for you to do some desk work instead of going out on patrols…”

Lin Wuyang replied, “If a book writer can become a superhero, what’s wrong with me, who studied Chinese? Anyway, let’s talk later.”

“Shh! Keep your voice down, your whole family writes books!” Chu Ge glanced around, seeing that Chef Jin and his wife were far away.

He sighed in relief and approached them, “By the way, do you two want to move to another place?”

“Let’s discuss it later.” Chef Jin seemed somewhat disinterested. “What’s the point of running a restaurant? I want to focus on improving myself. If it weren’t for you coming, the Black Room might have been completely destroyed by someone.”

“I think the Black Room isn’t secretive enough. It should be even more hidden if you really want to live a normal life.”

“Is that why you wear a mask?”

“Yes.” Chu Ge turned his head and looked at the colorful figure at the street corner, his tone becoming gentle. “If it weren’t for wanting to figure out how we can be together forever, I wouldn’t even bother thinking about abilities.”

…………

“You know I can hear you, you deliberately said it.” When they turned the corner, Qiu Wuji suddenly said this.

“No, I didn’t.” Chu Ge took off his mask and naturally held her hand. “You know it’s true.”

Qiu Wuji glanced at their hands but didn’t pull away.

Chu Ge asked, “Did you sense that I was in danger and deliberately came out to protect me?”

Qiu Wuji had a serious expression. “You’re thinking too much.”

Chu Ge: “…”

“I can’t sense whether you’re in danger… I just felt the signs of a foreign power invading the world and deduced that you were in a battle with someone, so I came out to take a look. My soul was exhausted, so I purposely took medicine, which was a complete waste.”

But isn’t it because I’m in danger that you came out? Is it because you’re afraid of the world being destroyed? Such a proud tsundere.

Thinking about how she hurriedly took medicine and ran out because she sensed that he was in battle, Chu Ge’s heart softened even more. He had a smile on his face and said, “I mentioned the medicine that restores the soul in yesterday’s chapter. Elder Yang has already refined a new medicine with no side effects.”

“You!” Qiu Wuji was displeased. “Do you know that you made at least three mistakes just now…”

“I know, I know…” Chu Ge secretly thought, If you appeared after the ability duplication, then I had already been unilaterally torturing him. If you can still spot three mistakes, I might as well be scolded to death…

“But overall, it was not bad.” Qiu Wuji, not having seen the previous events, was quite satisfied and said with a smile, “This person has some skills. If we ignore the abilities, his combat skills are probably on par with or slightly stronger than Moon Shadow. You won without any injuries. Your training during these days wasn’t in vain.”

Chu Ge wondered, “If we ignore the abilities, he’s even stronger than Moon Shadow. So, if he duplicated the abilities, wouldn’t he be unbeatable even by Moon Shadow?”

Qiu Wuji asked, “So his ability is to duplicate other people’s abilities? No wonder there’s a feeling of being scrutinized by the world. I see.”

“Yes, and it’s still one level higher. With his combat skills combined with this ability, he’s practically invincible in a one-on-one fight. It’s a strange victory.”

Shaking her head, Qiu Wuji smiled faintly. “Ability duplication and forced elevation… It’s not as powerful as you think.”

“What do you mean?”

“If it’s not your own, then it’s not truly yours… Merely duplicating it without the long-term contemplation of how to use the ability for oneself and the other methods practiced to adapt to it, you won’t be able to wield it as skillfully. I dare to assert that if someone were to duplicate all of my abilities, I could easily cut them down with my sword. This ability is used to take advantage of novices. Those who have truly emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood would just sneer at it.”

Suddenly, Chu Ge felt that it made sense. No wonder Rong Fu only had an A grade, and even a minus. It sounded impressive at first, but if they continued to refine it, they might even have to lower the grade.

Qiu Wuji said leisurely, “In the future, you may encounter similar opponents. Don’t be frightened by the duplication at first sight. Have faith… No matter how much they duplicate, once they step into your domain of expertise, they are just seeking their own demise.”

Chu Ge said, “It seems like they can’t duplicate my ability, or if they do, they can’t use it?”

Qiu Wuji raised an eyebrow and turned to glare at him. “It might not necessarily be about duplicating your ability to write books and create worlds. Perhaps they duplicated abilities like the Golden Bell Shield or the footwork. Are you an idiot? Can’t you make connections?”

Chu Ge shrunk his neck. He couldn’t withstand the roar of the female tyrant.

“By the way…” he cautiously said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you in this bossy teaching mode. You’re exuding an imposing presence.”

Qiu Wuji was taken aback and couldn’t help but laugh and cry. “Are you all masochists?”

Chu Ge wanted to put a QQ chat screenshot expression pack on her face. Confirmation of being an anime character.

Qiu Wuji glanced at the street corner, her expression slightly changed, and suddenly she stopped and said with a stern face, “I want to eat cotton candy.”

Chu Ge: “?”

“Buy ten, if one is missing, I’ll hit you!”

Chu Ge’s eyes rolled. “You just called me a masochist, isn’t hitting me a reward? Shouldn’t you use a different kind of threat?”

Qiu Wuji thought about it. “Then how should I punish you?”

Chu Ge pointed to his own face. “For example, give me a kiss. That punishment would be too heavy, wuwuwu…”

“Bam!” Chu Ge was slammed into the ground in a spread-eagle position. Qiu Wuji huffed off to the roadside stall. “Ten cotton candies, the person lying over there will pay!”
