The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 27 - Doctors Dont Treat Perverts

Kidnapping the Son of Light wasn’t particularly challenging in their well-prepared plan.

There were just two approaches – the direct way or the covert way.

To Su Li, Lan Zhe’s dismissive smile wasn’t a sign of arrogance from someone unaware of their own strength, but rather the confidence of someone who knew exactly what they were capable of.

While this was indeed a world that valued elemental affinity above all, it didn’t necessarily mean that those with higher elemental affinity were always stronger.

There were countless examples of fallen geniuses throughout history, especially when dealing with the hidden Son of Light.

For an organization like the Church of Light, having 100% elemental affinity was like being directly chosen by the God of Light as the primary heir. However, natural talent wasn’t everything – especially without experience in life-or-death battles, facing opponents who could push you to the brink of death, or having a blade pointed at your heart while struggling desperately to survive…

Lan Zhe’s disdain wasn’t just because of the other’s status as a secret heir.

Compared to the holy figure approaching from the end of the street who looked like the God of Light incarnate, Lan Zhe actually preferred the somewhat eccentric Egbert.

Compared to the pretentious Son of Light across from them, Su Li crouching on the ground looked as adorable as a newborn Crystal Winged Dragon hatchling in Lan Zhe’s eyes.

Soft and harmless.

“Don’t worry, whatever you want me to do, I can accomplish it.”

Su Li looked up at Lan Zhe in confusion, not understanding how he could so boldly declare. “During this time while Egbert is away, I will become your sharpest blade in his place. Where you point, I shall strike.”

Su Li: “Huh?”

What was this about?

He had only been wondering if having Lan Zhe kidnap the Son of Light would expose his identity as a dark element user. It would probably be better to contact Egbert and keep the news contained…

Why was Lan Zhe imagining such strange things?

Su Li pondered the word “replace” for a moment.

It took him a second to realize that Lan Zhe still didn’t like him, and was probably saying this because he had promised Egbert he would protect Su Li during this time.

So naturally.

Su Li directly told Lan Zhe, “Try to contact Egbert, then find a chance for us to kidnap the Son of Light together. We need to be quick, since the Son of Light’s primary purpose here is to confront Egbert, and secondarily to deal with the rumored stronger monster beasts that may or may not exist.”

The rumors had spread too quickly for Su Li to believe the other side didn’t suspect they might be false. But even for false rumors, the debunker needs evidence to prove they’re fake, which is why either the Son of Light or a Bishop would definitely come.

If they assumed the other side had methods to deal with stronger enemies, now was their chance while the enemy was visible and they were hidden. The sooner they acted, the better their chances.

In other words, the sooner they captured him, the sooner they could lure the Bishop in and finish him off.

However, when Lan Zhe finally contacted Egbert…

The former thought the latter had become even more mentally ill.

While Su Li couldn’t see the liquid crystal TV-like video call screen that appeared in front of him, he could hear Lan Zhe explaining the plan to thin air, then directly instructing, “When can you come back from the Beast Forest? We need you quickly, preferably today, so we can work together to kidnap that Son of Light from the Church.”

Su Li: ??

The latter was completely bewildered.

Not because elementalists could communicate this way, but because...

“Why don’t you just video call the Crystal Winged Dragon directly? With Lan Zhe as a third party, it should prevent Egbert and the dragon from fighting anyway.”

Lan Zhe first frowned, then showed an “oh, that’s possible” expression.

On the other end, Egbert chose to give Su Li, who didn’t understand this world’s elemental usage, a long-winded explanation.

“This kind of elemental image transmission can be faked. Besides, the Crystal Winged Dragon is bound to be enraged upon seeing me. In such a situation, showing this kind of image – who knows if it might make the dragon even more crazy.”

Egbert first presented this possibility, then immediately started excessively praising. “But what the lord said makes a lot of sense.”

As he spoke, Egbert took out a notebook.

If Su Li saw that thing, he would immediately recognize it…

It looked way too familiar!

Lan Zhe also knew about this notebook. Reportedly, the previous volumes were all detailed interpretations of things Su Li had said. As for the current notebook, it wasn’t the original but a new one, used by Egbert to write down plans for improving his ability to extrapolate from Su Li’s important statements.

For instance, right now Egbert was already independently exploring whether there might be a third layer of meaning to what Su Li had said.

Lan Zhe could tell this person was about to have an episode, so he promptly ended the elemental communication and relayed Egbert’s words to Su Li.

Su Li: …

“Whatever makes you happy.”

“But…”

Lan Zhe looked at him questioningly.

“Didn’t you forget to tell Egbert where to meet up?”

“Oh right.” Lan Zhe’s whole face wrinkled.

But he responded quickly – or rather, he was already prepared to let Egbert take the blame.

“It doesn’t matter. If he can’t understand my meaning, it just proves he doesn’t consider me a true friend. Friends should intuitively know what the other is thinking without explicit communication, and telepathically arrive at the same place.”

Su Li: “…Are you sure you’re talking about friendship?”

Being perpetually single didn’t mean zero understanding of romance.

Any tragic romance novel could give Su Li a deep understanding of how ridiculous humans could be, but this was the first time in his life he’d seen someone make such absurd demands of friendship.

“Of course it’s like that,” Lan Zhe said matter-of-factly.

Su Li: “…”

Well, he had to wonder if this world’s setting was based on Spain…

Even more terrifying was that Egbert actually succeeded – meeting up with Lan Zhe at the same place without any prior communication.

Su Li suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

From now on, he absolutely couldn’t let anyone consider him a friend, and he needed to make that crystal clear!

Absolutely!

Su Li didn’t want anyone to question his orientation, not even a tiny bit.

A single person’s pride must never surrender!

Come to think of it, Egbert hadn’t changed much in appearance since they last met.

Except on the inside…

He was still the same pervert as always.

When Su Li followed his instinct to avoid misunderstandings by hiding behind Cyril and blurting out “There’s absolutely no possibility of complete understanding between people,” Egbert reflexively pulled out his notebook.

Su Li’s face twisted momentarily. Although he wanted to scream “Don’t write that down!”, the man had already started writing and interpreting.

“Lord Su Li means that as a traitor and Lan Zhe as a dark element user, we have no possibility of being understood by the Son of Light. Therefore, during the kidnapping, we can’t show any hesitation – only then can we efficiently lure the Bishop according to plan.” After scribbling extensively, Egbert looked at Lan Zhe with profound seriousness and asked: “Do you understand, Lan Zhe?”

“Just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I’m stupid,” Lan Zhe clicked his tongue. He’d sworn never to underestimate someone like Su Li, who could predict how to defeat enemies before anything even started.

Unless he wanted to meet the God of Darkness.

So he would, as Egbert expected, analyze Su Li’s words on a deeper level.

However, Lan Zhe wasn’t perverted enough like Egbert to write down and announce every thought that came to mind.

So…

“Your condition is getting worse. None of the medicinal ingredients in my private storage can cure your kind of perversion.”

Su Li expressionlessly remarked. “Such a familiar feeling, familiar taste.”

“Don’t worry, someday I’ll prevent anyone who might negatively influence your growth from appearing before you,” Lan Zhe said resolutely to Su Li while making a fist-pump gesture.

After a moment’s hesitation, Su Li carefully asked, “Do you also believe friends should be telepathic, intuitively think the same things, and act in harmony without communication?”

Cyril nodded decisively. “That’s right.”

Su Li suddenly became serious.

“Cyril.”

The puppy-eyed youth looked oddly at the unusually serious Su Li. “What is it?”

“I’m saying we’re not friends.” Before his young companion’s puppy eyes could tear up, Su Li finished. “We’re family, irreplaceable family, absolutely incapable of being telepathic and intuitive like friends.”

“What about them?” Cyril pointed at Egbert and Lan Zhe nearby, including the spaced-out Mark.

Su Li first closed his eyes painfully to calculate if his household had enough food for so many people… then bravely declared. “I believe everyone I meet has the potential to become family, but you’re still the most important.”

Su Li held his young companion’s shoulders while internally calculating how many years it would take to save up enough money for a dowry – it was too scary, these people… no, this world’s people were too scary!

Cyril’s face instantly flushed red.

Family being above friendship was common knowledge to most people.

So Su Li meant: “So we’re closer than friends, and should be even more inseparable than friends, right?”
