Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Chapter 252 Changing Clothes

"Let's leave this matter at that for now. I'll keep an eye on the brain-computer interface situation when I go to the player world later." Han Che's gaze swept over the three people in the room, finally settling on Da Yong.

"Alright, nothing serious, everyone go back now. Especially Dayong, go back and get some rest, don't go diving into the water again, or we won't be able to pull you out!"

His tone turned stern, his face full of helplessness. He added, tapping his hand twice in the air, "Shi Ding! The training of prison guards must be based on reality, not be rigid! If we're going to teach Dayong to swim, at least he should take off his armor before training."

Da Yong scratched the back of his head, glanced at Shi Ding, and exchanged a look with him. "The warden won't let me practice this anymore," Shi Ding frowned and glared at Da Yong.

"Yes!" Shi Ding and Dayong replied in unison.

"Let's go," Han Che sat back in his office chair, turned his back to Da Yong and the others, and rested his head on the back of the chair. He had finally found Da Yong, and the weight in his heart had finally been lifted.

The fatigue from not sleeping for more than a day finally began to creep in, but at least I felt at ease.

"Then I'll head back now, Your Excellency the Warden," Da Yong's voice came.

Han Che leaned back in his chair, eyes still closed, waved his hand, and said in a tired voice, devoid of his usual refined manner, "Get lost..."

Heavy footsteps approached the door, disappearing with each opening and closing of the door.

Finally, it was quiet. Han Che breathed a sigh of relief and slid down a little in the chair.

The darkness with his eyes closed allowed his thoughts to gradually surface. He recalled the course of the operation, what he had accomplished, and what else he needed to deal with.

After a period of ups and downs, he has finally established himself in the gaming world, with a place to live, a job, and even some recognition. His colleagues at the club no longer treat him like an outsider, and clients are willing to specifically request his assistance.

Having resolved the hidden trouble that could have exposed his identity, now that he's back in Tide Prison, as long as he follows the proper procedures to act as a protector, everything will be moving in a positive direction.

Thinking of this, Han Che couldn't help but hum a little tune. He had probably heard it too many times recently and had been brainwashed. The tune he was humming was the one from the raven's whistle.

He suddenly remembered that he was still wearing the same casual clothes he wore in the player world when he returned to prison, so he decided to take off his shirt and change into the warden's attire.

Han Che was too lazy to get up, so he sat on the office chair, took off his shirt, pulled his arms out of the sleeves, and draped the shirt over the back of the chair.

He unbuckled his belt, preparing to take off his pants and put them on as well, when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Old Ge, that's enough... We're still here. If you want to fight later, we'll leave. Can you fight by yourself?"

"?"

Han Che was startled by the sudden sound, his hand gripping his pants trembled, and he abruptly turned his chair around. He saw that Raven and Shi Ding were both in the room. Shi Ding turned his head to the side, staring intently at the sofa. "This sofa is really beautiful..."

Raven stared at Han Che without any attempt to hide his gaze, grinning and chuckling, while quickly shaking his hand in front of his chest.

"Didn't realize you were in such good shape, old man! No wonder you're so strong! You should train with my four musclemen sometime."

"Holy crap, what are you all doing here?" Han Che's eyes widened. "What are you doing here! Hey Chovy, I told you to get out, so get out of here right now! What are you doing here?!"

Han Che's face turned visibly red, and his already exhausted mind became even more disheveled. He spoke incoherently, and he couldn't put the clothes he had just taken off back on.

"Hey hey hey!" Raven had been watching Geheros get angry and was about to shut up and stop provoking him.

But seeing him struggling to get his clothes on, she couldn't help but say, "Stop pulling! Stop pulling! Those are sleeves, you can't get them inside your head!"

"..."

Han Che's movements came to an abrupt halt at Raven's reminder. He slowly pulled off the slightly deformed sleeve that had been forcibly pulled over his head and took a deep breath.

"call……"

"Get to the point, hurry up..." Han Che urged, not wanting to waste any more time. His voice was low, and each word was squeezed out from between his teeth.

Raven doesn't have the ability to sense killing intent, but Han Che's current state seems to make it possible to detect killing intent without any special abilities... Should I whistle to calm him down? Raven wondered.

"If you dare whistle that tune, I'll smash you to death with my shield!" Han Che threatened Raven, seemingly having read his mind.

The raven, which had already prepared its beak, heard this and lightly slapped its own face, indicating it wouldn't blow anymore. The slap made a loud "smack."

Han Che was furious, and Raven didn't dare to speak, so only Shi Ding spoke up.

"Your Excellency Warden, I have thought it through and wish to offer my apology!" Shi Dingli said earnestly.

Han Che didn't answer, so Shi Ding continued, "I misunderstood your needs and dispatched too many troops, making your plan extremely difficult to carry out..."

Han Che interrupted Shi Ding's formal and official self-criticism, "Alright, Shi Ding, there's no need for that. I know all this, it's not your fault."

Shi Ding's lips moved slightly, and his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

"However, Your Excellency Warden, I still want to express my apology and determination to you. I have never sought to seize power, nor do I wish to betray you. You will always be the Warden of Tide Prison."

"Power grab? Betrayal?" Han Che's slightly angry expression turned somewhat puzzled upon hearing these two words. "I know your loyalty... Who said that about you? The prison guards down there?"

"Um, I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now..." Upon hearing this, Raven got up and was about to slip away.

"It was Raven who said it, I'm afraid you might misunderstand..." Shi Ding explained.

"Raven?" Han Che's voice reached Raven's ears. His steps froze, his body stopped, his hand hovered in mid-air, and he slowly turned his head, his lips twitching.

"Tactics, it's all tactics! Wasn't it to shake your Shi Ding so my abilities could take effect?" Raven argued. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed me; I would have been knocked down repeatedly and almost drowned!"

Han Che ignored him and continued looking at Shi Ding, saying, "So you were influenced by these words?"

Shi Ding remained silent for a moment, then nodded reluctantly. "Your Excellency, I understand this is a divisive tactic, but upon reflection, Raven was right about one thing: after following you for so long, I still don't understand what you want me to do..."

"Until just now, I think I understand a little better. You want to groom me to become the second warden?"

Shi Ding's voice trailed off as he heard Han Che tell him to train prison guards according to the actual situation and tailor his teaching to individual needs. He gradually recalled that the warden seemed to have given him some management advice on that occasion.

I only just figured it out and came to this conclusion, but I still feel that saying it is a bit of a heresy.

Upon hearing Shi Ding's words, Han Che instantly sat up straight, his anger melting away like ice and snow, replaced by a delighted smile. "Good! You've improved! Not bad, not bad at all. It's good that you can understand this principle on your own!"
