The rain was incessant.

The rain that had been accumulating in the clouds was released in an instant. It fell on every corner of the city at its fullest and fastest speed, showing the most beautiful side of its life.

But passersby in a hurry rarely noticed the rain.

They eventually end up flowing along the street edges and alley corners, into the bottomless sewers.

Jupiter City, Phoenix City

This area boasts the highest land prices in the city, along with a top-tier security team and a garden-style green environment.

today,

The upscale event clubhouse inside the residential complex was privately contracted out for a day to host a rather discreet event.

There were no signs or decorations for any related activities on the first floor of the clubhouse; one had to go up to the second floor to see a few white wreaths used for funerals.

The few sobs heard at the funeral were drowned out by business conversations and laughter.

A month has passed since the start of the new school term.

The "Fourth Middle School Incident" has been included in the important national historical archives.

Subsequent investigations have confirmed that the psychological testing, security arrangements, and emergency response at the Fourth Middle School all met the standards and there were no issues.

The reason why such terrible incidents occur is simply that Mind Corner are becoming increasingly easy to appear, and the nature of these corners is undergoing some kind of change. A very small number of Pseudo-Human are so special that they can achieve perfect disguise, and existing psychological testing methods need to be changed.

Downstairs at the Phoenix City Clubhouse

A family of four arrived by car; they were much larger than the average person, dressed in black and wearing black umbrellas.

The bald man at the head of the group was over 2.1 meters tall and had a large build, resembling a strongman from a TV show. His family members behind him were the same.

The visitors were Anna and her family.

When Anna arrived at the funeral hall on the second floor and saw Wu Wen's gray and white photo, she could no longer hold back her emotions and broke down in tears. Fortunately, her brother was there to support her.

However, such crying drew strange looks from many people in the mourning hall, as if there was no need to be so sad about this matter.

At this time,

A handsome man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall walked over and took the initiative to shake hands with Anna's father.

After a very polite, business-like exchange of pleasantries, the man went to greet the next guest.

It took Anna a long time to calm down. She didn't want to stay there at all; she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Let's go..."

"Hmm." Anna's father, Sergei, and Wu Wen's father only had some business dealings, and their communication had gradually decreased in recent years. He himself also disliked this kind of business environment.

Just as the family was about to leave,

A mysterious visitor, completely shrouded in a raincoat, walked up alone in the stairwell.

Usually, two or more people come to the event; it is rare for someone to come alone.

Moreover, most people drive directly into the Underground Parking Lot of the community, so there is no need to use an umbrella or even wear a raincoat.

The security guards at the scene immediately realized that this person might be problematic, and stepped forward to question him while gripping their Mechanical Baton.

Anna and her family, who happened to be passing by, also stopped briefly.

If anyone dares to cause trouble here, the family wouldn't mind doing something about it.

Anna, who was relatively short, suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar nose and lips under the raincoat hood.

"Luo Di?!"

She immediately used her strong body to push the security guard aside and further confirm his identity.

It was indeed Luo Di.

But he looked noticeably thinner and much more haggard than before.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who was in charge of organizing the funeral also noticed the commotion at the stairwell and heard a name that piqued his interest.

With a more hurried pace than before, maintaining the demeanor of a successful person, he arrived at the stairwell.

With a condescending look, Anna gestured for the security guards to disperse, and Anna also temporarily stepped aside.

Then, he looked at the young man who had come alone and asked with a smile:

"Student Luo?"

Luo Di didn't respond at all, but just stared at the gray and white head placed in the middle of the wreath not far away, and walked straight over.

As she brushed past the middle-aged man, she soaked him with rainwater.

The man wasn't angry, after all, there were quite a few partners present. He turned to Anna beside him and asked, "Did you invite Luo, Anna?"

"No, Uncle Wu."

"That's strange. I clearly didn't invite him, yet he managed to find his way here. But it's good, it's thanks to such an outstanding young man that the situation at No. 4 Middle School didn't escalate to the worst possible outcome."

The only thing in the entire funeral hall related to the class monitor was this black and white photo.

According to the Corner Law, the squad leader's body had already been recovered by the Research Bureau, and even his immediate family members had no ownership rights.

Luo Di approached the portrait.

Similar to the situation in the classroom a month ago, he simply stared silently at the portrait, without any extra change in expression.

After a simple bow, he turned and left without hesitation or delay.

To his surprise, as soon as he stood up, the middle-aged man who was in charge of the funeral arrangements was already standing behind him, extending his right hand, indicating a strong intention to shake hands.

"Luo Di is the most outstanding student in this year's class of No. 4 Middle School, and it can even be said to be the most outstanding student in the past ten years."

During the "Fourth Middle School Incident," she displayed abilities far exceeding those of the students, successfully killing my good-for-nothing daughter and minimizing casualties at the school.

As Wu Wen's father, I sincerely thank you and apologize to you.

In addition, I am willing to offer one million as compensation for the incident and as an investment in you personally.

I'm so sorry to have troubled you.

Praise, gratitude, and even gifts.

Click~

A series of clicking sounds came from my cervical vertebrae.

Luo Di seemed to have not raised his head for a long time. Now he slowly raised his head and stared at the handsome man in front of him whose features were somewhat similar to those of the class monitor.

Despite being over forty years old, he has the handsome face of someone in their early thirties.

But to Luo Di, this face looked very strange.

As he uttered those words, his face contorted into a hideous expression.

It seems that beneath this handsome mask lies a festering, oozing, and foul-smelling face.

A bitter taste travels to the Tongue Root.

For the first time, Luo Di tasted the flavor of evil, a flavor he had never experienced even before, unlike the Pseudo-Human he had encountered.

Faced with Luo Di's gaze,

The other person continued praising him, trying their best to distance themselves from the class monitor from every angle, and even patted Luo Di on the shoulder.

The surrounding guests who came to attend the funeral were also drawn to the scene, and one by one they forced a smile to pay their respects to Luo Di, the "heroic young man".

Suddenly,

Clang! Some kind of invisible chain seemed to snap, and only Luo Di could hear the sound.

I don't know why,

A powerful, inexpressible emotion, one that should never have arisen, was surging from the depths of Luo Di's body, gushing forth wildly from a prison cell sealed by iron chains.

It seems he has kept this feeling locked away for years, tightly sealed away.

Now,

They had only come to attend this "insignificant" funeral, yet somehow the entire chain snapped.

Instinct drove my arm to suddenly extend.

She grabbed the man in front of her by the throat.

The noise was immediately silenced.

The next second,

The man felt dizzy and was forced to the ground.

Before he could even speak, a fist the size of a sandbag swung towards his face. It was a normal person's punch, but it was enough to break his front teeth.

The guests who were still pretending to smile were all stunned, completely unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

The next punch came crashing down, and cracks began to appear in the back molars.

A steady and continuous punch.

The guests just watched silently, and no one dared to step forward to pull them away. They seemed to sense a direct and tangible killing intent that could threaten their lives.

Anna and her family, standing at the top of the stairs, were completely stunned.

But they seemed to understand why Luo Di did it.

Anna also saw the clear liquid dripping from beneath Luo Di's cheek as he threw a punch.

"No..."

Anna immediately rushed forward as fast as she could, trying to pull Luo Di away.

She didn't want to save the person, but she knew very well that if Luo Di killed this person, he would have no future.

However,

Anna hadn't arrived yet.

His father and brother had arrived on either side of Luo Di beforehand and forcibly dragged him away by sheer force.

Both of them could feel a scorching power filling Luo Di's body, his body temperature soaring, and the power emanating from his body was simply not that of a high school student.

Mr. Wu on the ground was completely disfigured; he had no intact teeth, his nose was broken, and even one of his eyeballs was unrecognizable.

Unable to determine whether they are alive or dead.

However, given his status as a high-ranking resident of Phoenix City and a senior executive of his company, the emergency medical team will arrive quickly. Simultaneously, due to the serious assault, the investigation team will also arrive.

Luo Di didn't leave; he just stood there.

The unprecedented emotional turmoil made his breathing extremely rapid, and his blood-stained right hand trembled uncontrollably.

The uncontrollable flow of fluid from the tear ducts was exactly the same as that of the class monitor who was about to die in the classroom a month ago.

He couldn't hear the cries for help, accusations, and discussions from those at the scene.

He couldn't hear Anna crying either.

As his heart rate gradually slowed down, he turned his head to look at the portrait of his sergeant behind him.

I don't know if it was due to a violent emotional fluctuation or some other reason.

He heard a voice that didn't belong here.

Hearing that familiar, gentle voice,

It seems like everything has gone back to that day during winter break.

Back on the stairs in the stairwell,

The class monitor, who had her hands behind her back, received no response and had no choice but to extend her hand.

This touch is soft, delicate, and warm.

That was definitely the sensation of a "human".

"Luo Di... thank you."

Tears flowed like a spring.

But the muscles in his face were pulling at the corners of his mouth, making him laugh, as if in response to something.
