Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

Haiyuan Spicy Hot Pot, a spicy hot pot restaurant that has been open for more than ten years, is known for its high quality, low prices, and spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavor.

Xu Yue would bring Li Chenqiu here for dinner every holiday, and it holds Li Chenqiu's most beautiful memories.

Even on rainy nights, Li Chenqiu could smell the spicy aroma wafting in the air outside the door. The steaming heat and the noise of diners in the store made the small shop feel particularly warm.

Li Chenqiu came to the door, grabbed his collar and shook off the rain, then walked into the store and went to the counter.

"Kid, do you want a set meal?" a kind-faced middle-aged woman asked with a smile.

Li Chenqiu nodded: "A vegetarian set meal for one, add instant noodles, and if possible, add more chili, thank you."

After saying that, just as Li Chenqiu was about to turn around, the woman tugged at his arm: "Kid, you haven't been here for a long time, have you? The vegetarian set meal was canceled a year ago. Would you like to try the beef set meal for one?"

"Canceled?" Li Chenqiu was a little dazed: "Okay, then beef."

After ordering, Li Chenqiu walked to a two-person table and sat down: "There are no empty seats around, sorry to bother you."

The middle-aged man sitting opposite looked up at Li Chenqiu, then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

The man looked about forty years old, with dry, rough skin, wearing a faded gray shirt, and black dirt hidden in his fingernails. He looked like someone who did physical labor.

"You've been looking at me since you sat down. Is there something wrong?" the man asked without looking up.

"If you think it's delicious, eat more. You may not have the chance in the future," Li Chenqiu said, pulling a few tissues from the table and wiping his hands, which were covered in rainwater.

The man's hand holding the meatballs suddenly trembled, and the meatballs fell into the greasy soup.

At this moment, Li Chenqiu's spicy hot pot was also served: "Enjoy."

"Thank you."

Li Chenqiu put the spicy hot pot in front of him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. On the other hand, the middle-aged man opposite him was stunned in place like a log.

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Chenqiu in a panic, his left foot had already moved unconsciously outside the table.

"Once you leave this door, you're really going to die," Li Chenqiu's eyes lifted slightly.

The middle-aged man's Adam's apple rolled. After a series of psychological struggles, he retracted his foot and looked at Li Chenqiu with a solemn expression: "Who are you? Why do you say I'll die if I go out?"

"There are more than a dozen people staring at this store outside. Who do you think these people are waiting for to come out?"

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's face turned pale instantly, and the muscles all over his body tensed up at this moment, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "You... what are you talking about, I don't understand, what does this have to do with me? I didn't do anything, ha ha ha."

"Slurp ~" Li Chenqiu took a satisfying sip of instant noodles, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the middle-aged man:

"Those people are from the Special Abilities Division. The reason why they haven't attacked you yet is because there are too many people here. When you walk to a place with fewer people, you'll be almost dead," Li Chenqiu smiled: "Am I right, Awakened One?"

"You!" The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pin: "How do you know I'm an... no, I'm not an Awakened One, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

"Since I'm wrong, why don't you leave after you finish eating?" Li Chenqiu's eyebrows curved slightly, with a smile that was not a smile.

A bead of sweat fell from the middle-aged man's forehead and landed in the spicy hot pot with a "plop", splashing crystal red oil flowers: "Who are you? Why are you telling me this?"

"I am also an Awakened One, but unlike you, I am an Awakened One who has not yet been discovered. The reason why I am telling you this is naturally to help my own kind."

As he said that, Li Chenqiu stretched his left hand to the middle-aged man, and in front of the other party, he slightly hooked his index finger and pressed hard with his thumb, directly snapping it with a "crack" sound.

Red blood accumulated at the joint of his index finger, but Li Chenqiu seemed to be fine. After shaking his left hand, he took it back and continued eating the spicy hot pot.

When the middle-aged man turned his attention to Li Chenqiu's left hand again, his index finger had already returned to its original state, without a trace of injury.

"Do you believe me now?" Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

The middle-aged man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I... what should I do?"

"Later, you kidnap me and run towards Lujiang Bridge. Someone will be there to meet us. You're lucky. There are many people here. If it were in a place with fewer people, these people wouldn't care about hostages or anything."

"When do we start? Now?" The middle-aged man clasped his hands together and looked at Li Chenqiu in a panic.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer."

"Wait for what? Are you waiting for the person who is coming to meet us?"

"Waiting for me to finish eating."

Middle-aged man: "..."

......

......

After a delicious and satisfying meal, Li Chenqiu scanned the QR code to pay with some heartache.

His boss was really too stingy, with an hourly wage of up to five yuan, forcing Li Chenqiu to learn to be stingy early.

After paying, Li Chenqiu rubbed his stomach, put on his hood and was about to walk out of the store.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed behind Li Chenqiu, one hand roughly pinching his mouth, and the other hand passing through his ribs, tightly locking him in front of his chest.

The sudden scene frightened the diners and passers-by. For a time, everyone subconsciously retreated backwards.

"Ugh ugh ~" Li Chenqiu looked terrified, constantly hitting the man's armpits with his elbows, and his legs kept flapping, but this struggle did not have any effect.

The middle-aged man's arms were like the two pincers of a crab, tightly clamping Li Chenqiu, unable to be shaken.

"You you you... what are you doing, let go quickly, or I'll call the police!"

The owner of the spicy hot pot restaurant bravely shouted loudly, shaking her phone at the middle-aged man. The screen was stuck on the dialing interface, and the "112" Federal Security Service number had been entered, just waiting to be called.

"You fucking mind your own business!"

The middle-aged man glared at the woman angrily, turned around and raised his foot to kick the glass door.

Bang!

The glass door instantly shattered into countless sharp fragments. The transparent glass shards cut through the rain curtain and stuck in the chests, arms, and even faces of the onlookers.

"Ah ah ah!" A woman covered her face and screamed loudly, red blood flowing from her fingers.

There were many people who were accidentally injured like her, and they also shouted.

"What's going on? How can this person be so strong!?"

"This this... isn't he an Awakened One!?"

"What are you still discussing? Get out of here quickly! If you like to watch the show, go to the front!"

For a time, the crowd was in chaos, and the people blocked at the door ran to the side of the road or the sides of the street.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the middle-aged man hijacked Li Chenqiu and staggered towards Lujiang Bridge.

At the same time, people walked out of various shadows on this street. They wore the same clothes as ordinary people, but their eyes were a bit sharper than ordinary people.

"Team leader, the target has left the marking point with a hostage, and the direction of advance is Lujiang Bridge, please instruct!" a young man said, grabbing the walkie-talkie.

"Buzz buzz..." The walkie-talkie made a buzzing sound, and then a voice came from it:

"Team One, disperse the crowd and illegally parked ships by the river, and deploy defenses by the river. If the target jumps into the river to escape, immediately carry out a purge!

Team Two, evacuate the vehicles and pedestrians on Lujiang Bridge, and block the west of the bridge. Place some vehicles and pedestrians at the bridgehead to prevent the other party from seeing through the flaws.

Team Three, continue to track, and block the target's other escape routes in a semi-encircling manner. Execute immediately!"
