"Captain, Lin Qiye is still just a temporary member and shouldn't be involved in the mysterious eradication operation until he becomes a full member," Wu Xiangnan's brows furrowed slightly.
Chen Muye shook his head, "From the available intelligence, this mythical creature excels in disguise, infiltration, and infection. Its own combat capabilities are not particularly high, and Lin Qiye has undergone half a month of training, significantly enhancing his strength. This is a good opportunity for him to hone his skills.
Moreover, he was a student at Second High and is most familiar with the school. He was also a classmate of Liu Xiaoyan, so it's most natural for him to approach her."
With that said, Chen Muye looked at Lin Qiye again and continued, "Of course, you're a temporary member, and I won't force you. If you're unwilling, you can stay here."
"I'll go," Lin Qiye didn't hesitate for a moment.
Chen Muye was right. After half a month of training, his combat capabilities had improved significantly. He urgently needed an opportunity to put his learning into practice.
Furthermore, to survive in these dangerous times, one must familiarize themselves with danger as soon as possible. While Lin Qiye preferred to avoid risks, he wouldn't miss any opportunity to improve himself.
"In that case, let's get started." Chen Muye stood up, then turned to Li Yifei, "You'll go with Qiye and the others."
Li Yifei hesitated, "But... I'm just an ordinary person. What if..."
"They will protect you," Chen Muye's tone remained steady, "You've encountered that mythical creature before, and you're the most knowledgeable about it among us. You must go."
Upon hearing Chen Muye's almost commanding tone, Li Yifei reluctantly nodded.
"If this operation goes smoothly... I'll give you a chance to join the Night Watchers," Chen Muye said slowly as he walked towards the door.
Li Yifei's eyes lit up instantly!
As Lin Qiye was about to leave, Leng Xuan, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly called out to him.
"Lin Qiye."
"Yes?"
Leng Xuan walked up to him and pulled out a sleek black pistol from behind his waist, handing it to Lin Qiye.
"What's this for?"
"Take it. The magazine is full," Leng Xuan said calmly.
"But my marksmanship... What if I accidentally injure someone else?" Lin Qiye's expression soured.
Leng Xuan gave him a meaningful look and turned away, "The significance of the gun lies not only in killing."
Lin Qiye stood there in a daze for a moment, then reluctantly tucked the pistol into his pocket and headed towards the exit.
...
Twenty minutes later.
Three figures stood in front of the gate of Second High, each carrying a different box, wearing troubled expressions.
"Qiye, why are your school uniforms so ugly?" Hongying looked down at the red-and-white high school uniform with disdain.
"The girls' uniforms are not bad," Lin Qiye gestured to his own blue-and-white uniform, "it's the boys' that are truly ugly. Besides, the attractiveness of uniforms varies from person to person. Yours is already quite good."
Under the sunlight, Hongying wore a white short-sleeved shirt with the school uniform over it, the zipper undone, swaying gently in the breeze. Her high ponytail added to her youthful and heroic aura.
On the other hand, Wu Xiangnan presented a different image. She wore a cartoon long-sleeved shirt, with the uniform wrapped around her waist like a skirt. Her jet-black hair was tied into two large buns, giving her the appearance of a shy and naive girl.
Hongying grinned at Lin Qiye, "Qiye, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent!"
Lin Qiye: ...
"Now the problem is, the first class of the morning has already started, how do we sneak in?" Lin Qiye glanced at the time, then glanced at the menacing security guards at the entrance.
"And we're carrying these things, we'll definitely be stopped and questioned," Wu Xiangnan said softly, looking at the black box in her hand.
"Isn't it simple?" Hongying's lips curled upwards slightly as she raised her head, pointing to the two-meter-high wall not far away, "We climb over it!"
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the petite Wu Xiangnan beside him, "I don't have a problem, but Xiao Nan might have some difficulties..."
Wu Xiangnan: (-?_-?)
She rolled her eyes silently at Lin Qiye, then moved to the side of the wall. With a few light steps on the wall, she fluttered up like a graceful butterfly!
With one hand holding the black box, she spun in the air, silently landing on the other side of the wall.
Lin Qiye: ...
Hongying stifled a laugh, "Qiye, although Xiao Nan seems like a delicate girl, she's been with the Night Watchers for two years already. Don't underestimate her..."
With that, Hongying dashed towards the wall like lightning, sticking to the wall with graceful steps, easily scaling it with a sense of ease and elegance.
Lin Qiye approached the wall, and the image of the magnificent acrobatics performed by Hongying and Wu Xiangnan flashed through his mind. His lips twitched slightly.
Feeling a bit embarrassed...
He took a deep breath, tossed the black box over first, then leaped high, his hands pushing against the edge of the wall, effortlessly crossing over.
Though it looked decent, the fear of comparison lingered. With Hongying and Wu Xiangnan's splendid performance before him, Lin Qiye couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment.
"Not bad, quite handsome," Hongying returned Lin Qiye's black box to him, encouraging him with a smile.
Lin Qiye shook his head, eager to put an end to the topic, "Let's stick to the plan. I'll approach Liu Xiaoyan in class while you two investigate the head teacher's office."
"Got it, if anything happens, we'll communicate via earpieces," Hongying pointed to the hidden earpiece on her ear, then turned and left with Wu Xiangnan.
After taking a few steps, she paused, turned back with a slightly embarrassed look.
"Um... where's the administrative building? And where's the head teacher's office?"
Lin Qiye sighed, pointing to the tall building in the distance, "Room 403."
...
"...So, as we've discussed, odd changes but even doesn't, symbols indicate quadrants. Everyone must remember this mnemonic. Now, let's move on to the next question..."
On the platform, a middle-aged man with glasses held a textbook, enthusiastically lecturing.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted the class.
Knock, knock, knock!
Everyone turned to the door, where Lin Qiye, unseen for nearly two weeks, stood quietly, holding a black box and bowing slightly.
"Lin Qiye?" The math teacher was surprised to see him, "Why are you just arriving? Where have you been these past few days?"
"My eyes had some problems again, so I spent two weeks in the hospital
."
"I see... Come in and take a seat quickly."
Pushing his glasses up, the math teacher, having some tolerance for Lin Qiye, a previously disabled student, motioned for him to enter.
Amidst the curious gazes of the others, Lin Qiye calmly returned to his seat, which belonged to him, and sat down.
He scanned his surroundings with his mental power, furrowing his brows slightly.
"Classmates, let's continue the lesson..." The math teacher tapped the blackboard, diverting everyone's attention, and resumed the lecture.
Lin Qiye discreetly touched his earpiece, and Chen Muye's voice sounded from within.
"Lin Qiye, how's the situation?"
"I've entered the classroom," Lin Qiye lowered his voice.
"Can your prohibition distinguish them?"
"Yes."
"How many are there?"
Lin Qiye's brows furrowed, his voice grave,
"Not too good..."
"Captain, Lin Qiye is still just a temporary member and shouldn't be involved in the mysterious eradication operation until he becomes a full member," Wu Xiangnan's brows furrowed slightly.
Chen Muye shook his head, "From the available intelligence, this mythical creature excels in disguise, infiltration, and infection.
