Infiltration

"Captain, Qiye is only a temporary member. He shouldn't be involved in a mysterious cleansing operation before he's officially transferred," Wu Xiangnan frowned slightly.

Chen Muye shook his head, "Based on the current intelligence, this mythical creature excels at camouflage, infiltration, and infection. Its own realm is not high. Qiye has also undergone half a month of training, and his strength has increased significantly. This is a good opportunity for him to hone his skills.

Moreover, he used to be a student at Second High School and is most familiar with it. He's also classmates with that Liu Xiaoyan. It would be most natural for him to approach Liu Xiaoyan."

Speaking of which, Chen Muye looked at Lin Qiye again and continued, "Of course, you are a temporary member, and I won't force you. If you don't want to go yourself, you can stay here and guard the place."

"I'll go." Lin Qiye didn't hesitate at all.

What Chen Muye said was correct. After more than half a month of training, his combat power had increased considerably, and he urgently needed an opportunity to put his learning into practice.

Furthermore, to survive in this dangerous era, one had to become familiar with danger itself as early as possible. Although Lin Qiye preferred to stay out of trouble, he would not give up any opportunity to train himself.

"Since that's the case, let's begin the operation." Chen Muye stood up, then turned to Li Yifei, "You go with Qiye and the others."

Li Yifei was startled, "I, I'm just a normal person... What if..."

"They will protect you," Chen Muye's tone was devoid of any emotion. "You've seen that mythical creature, and you know it best among us. You have to go."

Hearing Chen Muye's almost commanding tone, Li Yifei nodded with a bitter expression.

"If this operation goes smoothly... I'll give you a chance to join the Night Watchmen," Chen Muye said slowly as he walked towards the door.

Li Yifei's eyes lit up instantly!

Just as Lin Qiye was about to leave, Leng Xuan, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly called out to him.

"Lin Qiye."

"Hm?"

Leng Xuan walked up to him, took out a black pistol from behind his waist, and handed it to Lin Qiye.

"This is..."

"Take it. The magazine is full," Leng Xuan said faintly.

"But, my marksmanship... What if I accidentally injure someone?" Lin Qiye's expression turned a little unsightly.

Leng Xuan gave him a meaningful look, turned, and left.

"The meaning of a gun is not just in killing."

Lin Qiye stood there stunned for a moment, then put the pistol into his pocket and walked towards the passage entrance.

Twenty minutes later.

Three figures, carrying different boxes, stood in front of the gate of Second High School, looking dejected.

"Qiye, why are your school uniforms so ugly?" Hong Ying looked down at the red and white high school uniform and said with disdain.

"The girls' uniforms are quite good," Lin Qiye pointed to his blue and white uniform. "The boys' are truly ugly. Besides, whether a school uniform looks good or not varies from person to person.

You look quite good already."

In the sunlight, Hong Ying wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a red and white school uniform over it, the zipper open, swaying slightly in the wind. Her high ponytail was tied up, and she had a long black case on her back, exuding youthfulness and heroism.

Beside her, Si Xiaonan was a different sight. She wore a cartoon long-sleeved shirt, with the school uniform wrapped around her waist like a skirt. Her jet-black hair was tied into two large buns, making her look like a shy, innocent girl.

Hong Ying winked playfully at Lin Qiye, "Little Brother Qiye, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent!"

Lin Qiye: ...

"The problem now is that the first class of the morning has already started halfway through. How should we sneak in?" Lin Qiye glanced at the time and then at the fierce-looking security guard at the gate.

"And we're carrying these things, so we'll definitely be stopped and questioned," Si Xiaonan said softly, looking at the black case in her hand.

"Isn't that simple?" Hong Ying's lips curved slightly upwards. She raised her head and chest, pointing at the wall more than two meters high not far away. "Let's climb over the wall!"

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and then looked at Si Xiaonan, who was only up to his shoulders and looked delicate and weak. "I don't have a problem, but it might be a bit difficult for Xiaonan..."

Si Xiaonan: (-?_-?)

She silently rolled her eyes at Lin Qiye, moved, and in the blink of an eye, ran to the side of the wall. Her toes tapped on the wall several times, and she floated over like a graceful butterfly!

She carried the black case in one hand, spun halfway in the air, and landed silently on the other side of the wall.

Lin Qiye: ...

Hong Ying covered her mouth and chuckled, "Qiye, although Xiaonan is a soft girl, she's actually been a Night Watchman for two years. Don't underestimate her..."

After speaking, Hong Ying also sprinted towards the wall, stepping on it several times like a startled swan, easily climbing over the wall, comfortably and elegantly.

Lin Qiye walked to the bottom of the wall, and the elegant wall-climbing performances of the two flashed through his mind. His mouth twitched slightly.

It's a bit embarrassing...

He took a deep breath, tossed the black case over, then leaped high into the air, supporting himself on the edge of the wall with his hands, and easily crossed over.

Although it looked pretty good, comparison made the difference. With Hong Ying and Si Xiaonan setting such a high standard, Lin Qiye felt a bit ashamed.

"Hmm, not bad, quite handsome," Hong Ying returned Lin Qiye's black case to him and encouraged him with a smile.

Lin Qiye shook his head, wanting to end the topic as soon as possible. "Then, as planned, I'll go back to class to get close to Liu Xiaoyan. You two go to the administrative building to investigate the Dean of Students."

"Okay, if anything comes up, communicate via earpiece," Hong Ying said, pointing to the invisible earpiece on her ear, then turned and left with Si Xiaonan.

After taking a couple of steps, she paused, turning back with a hint of embarrassment.

"Um... where is the administrative building? And, where is the Dean of Students' office?"

Lin Qiye helplessly pointed to the tall building in the distance. "403."

"...So, we say, if the change is odd and the even stays the same, check the quadrant for the sign. Everyone must remember this mnemonic. Next, let's look at the next problem..."

On the podium, the middle-aged man with glasses held his lecture notes, explaining with great spirit.

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

Everyone turned to look at the entrance. There stood Lin Qiye, whom they hadn't seen for over ten days. He was holding a black box, slightly bowing his head.

"Reporting."

"Lin Qiye?" the math teacher asked, somewhat surprised. "Why are you only arriving now? Where have you been these past few days?"

"I had some issues with my eyes again and was hospitalized for two weeks."

"I see... Come in and take a seat."

The math teacher adjusted his glasses. They still had a lot of tolerance for Lin Qiye, a special student who had previously been disabled, and wouldn't make things too difficult for him.

Under the surprised gazes of everyone, Lin Qiye calmly walked back to his original seat and sat down.

His spiritual energy swept through the surroundings, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"Class, let's continue the lesson..." The math teacher tapped the blackboard, drawing everyone else's attention back as he resumed his lecture.

Lin Qiye subtly touched his earpiece, and Chen Muye's voice sounded from within.

"Lin Qiye, how's the situation?"

"I've entered the classroom," Lin Qiye replied in a low voice.

"Can your Forbidden Zone identify them?"

"Yes."

"What about the numbers?"

Lin Qiye's brow furrowed, his voice carrying a hint of gravity.

"It's not looking good..."
