[«Night Owl»: Luo Hongyun has severe post war psychological syndrome due to his retirement. He is incompatible with the entire city. He is not willing to engage in combat-related occupations, nor can he adapt to normal work. After screwing up several jobs, his life has become chaotic.

Until one day, a little girl who claimed to be his daughter suddenly appeared in his home.]

‘Sigh, I knew this would happen. Give me an ellipsis at the critical moment.’

Xia Xu sighed.

This special ability was perfect in all aspects, but this made him feel helpless.

Moreover, looking at the basic plot introduction, it was difficult to find this fierce person as a bodyguard, or even impossible.

Postwar psychological syndrome was a type of post-traumatic stress disorder, known as PTSD. This illness was commonly seen in war and soldier-related movies, because its characteristics were common to soldiers who had been on the battlefield.

Insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, irritation, and excessive alertness were basic symptoms.

Some would repeat war scenes in their minds, dreams, and memories, even hallucinating that they were still on the battlefield, while others would try their best to avoid relevant people and incidents, refuse to participate in related activities, and selectively forget their memories.

From the summary of the story, Luo Hongyun was already in this situation. On one hand, he was completely tired of fighting, but on the other hand, he only knew how to do this. In addition, he was constantly disturbed by other symptoms of PTSD, making him unable to adapt to normal work and city life.

This basically showed that he was ‘not available for hire’.

‘Unless the plot begins, maybe there will be a twist…’

Xia Xu finally looked at the last sentence of the introduction.

A soldier king protagonist with PTSD and a daughter suddenly appears when he was in a mess. This was an obvious plot twist, and it would also change his life and mental state.

He didn’t know much about the storyline of «Night Owl», but he could infer some things.

First of all, the name of the plot was obviously a title. Perhaps it was a code name before Luo Hongyun retired, or a title born during the plot. It could also be the name of the main villain, but the probability was relatively small.

Double five-star talent, coupled with a combination of combat and armed combat, was simply the maximum combat power in a local city environment. In addition, Luo Hongyun was a soldier king, so he had definitely developed these two terrifying talents to the extreme. He was a humanoid beast.

For non-plot characters, they might not be able to discover their talents and abilities, but plot characters had to participate in the storyline, and their talents must be related to the storyline.

Luo Hongyun couldn’t possibly be using this humanoid beast template for his daily life with his daughter, right? If this was the case, he wouldn’t have had such an exaggerated configuration, and his pure and peaceful life wouldn’t have become a ‘movie’.

It was not difficult to infer that the appearance of his daughter would be a turning point in Luo Hongyun’s life, but it would only be a short period of ‘normal’. There would inevitably be a new round of twists and turns, such as his daughter disappearing and being kidnapped.

According to this line of thought, «Night Owl» should be the plot of a soldier king returning or a powerful father protecting his child.

It could even be the plot of a superhero movie, similar to the Punisher, Green Arrow, and Batman. They did not have any supernatural abilities, but they had the maximum combat power of a mortal.

This was not impossible. After all, there were suspected to be abnormal creatures in the hunter’s plot, so it was normal for a ‘superhero’ to appear.

Double combat related five-star talents. If someone’s close combat ability could reach the human limit, then this person was undoubtedly Luo Hongyun.

“Hello, can we talk?”

Luo Hongyun happened to pass by the entrance of the amusement park, so Xia Xu didn’t have time to think. After hesitating for a moment, he chased after him and stopped him.

“What’s the matter?”

Luo Hongyun’s face was cold. When he turned around, he obviously frowned, and his body seemed to tense up. He relaxed a little after seeing Xia Xu’s face.

A high school student might or might not be malicious, but he was definitely not a threat.

“Hello uncle, are you interested in being my bodyguard? I want to hire someone to protect me. I can tell that you are very strong at first glance.”

Xia Xu also understood his own advantages, so he pretended to be young. He was just talking like a normal high school student.

Although he had already guessed the answer, he was still unwilling to not try at all. Moreover, using this as a topic of conversation was quite a good starter.

“Not interested.”

After hearing this, Luo Hongyun’s expression remained unchanged. He turned his head and continued to walk forward.

Favorability: 5

Xia Xu still opened up the status screen and the number changed from 0 to 5.

This surprised and amused Xia Xu.

Generally speaking, there would be a small amount of favorability from the beginning by getting to know someone, but favorability was always based on behavior. There was a reason why it increased.

The only thing that could increase his favorability was ‘I can tell that you are very strong at first glance’.

He thought that this humanoid beast was a cold and fierce man, but it turned out that he still had the vanity of a normal person.

Being able to be recognized as an expert by a young passerby in a sea of people, many people might be tough and unmoved, but as long as they were a normal person, they would feel secretly satisfied.

Perhaps this strong man was thinking that this young man had good taste?

“Hey, wait, can you tell me why you’re not interested? We can discuss the conditions, and the salary is also negotiable.”

Xia Xu struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask.

“Not interested, that is the reason.”

Luo Hongyun stopped again and turned his head to stare at Xia Xu with a cold face. He then continued to walk forward.

“Boss, what’s going on?”

At this moment, Yang Bowen and the others also came to the door.

“There’s nothing much going on, Old Yang, you guys go back first. Also, please send Youxin home.”

Xia Xu hurriedly said to Yang Bowen, then said to Tang Youxin apologetically, “I need to talk to that person about something now, so I can’t send you back. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, I can go back myself.”

Tang Youxin nodded obediently.

“Don’t worry, Boss, we will call for a taxi later and send Youxin right to her doorstep.”

Yang Bowen also nodded.

“Okay, in that case I’m leaving.”

Xia Xu jogged a few steps and chased after Luo Hongyun.

“I’m not a bodyguard, nor am I some kind of expert. Stop following me.”

When Luo Hongyun saw Xia Xu following him again, he couldn’t help but frown. This time, he didn’t even stop.

“You just said that you were not interested, and you said that that is the reason, so aren’t you indirectly admitting that you are skilled…”

Xia Xu followed him without giving up and showed an unconvinced look.

Unfortunately, Luo Hongyun remained unmoved. He no longer spoke, just like many people who encountered uninterested promoters on the road, he decided to just ignore.

After pestering and walking for about five to six minutes, Luo Hongyun came to an old residential building that didn’t even have an elevator, and he walked straight into a room on the second floor.

Bang!

The dark green security door was closed by Luo Hongyun with a bang, completely blocking Xia Xu from entering.

However, Xia Xu didn’t care. He just smiled..
