Successful Performance! Lin Yu Investigates Alone!

Lin Yu sought out Shen Bingmiao for a reason.

This senior, who was one year ahead of him, was the most "famous" person at Jiangcheng Media University.

And the reason for her fame had little to do with her identity as the "Drama Club President."

Shen Bingmiao was famous because, in her first year, she had hacked into the school's academic system to promote a new play by the drama club, sending backend push notifications to every student's app at Jiangcheng Media.

As a result, she received disciplinary action from the school.

Although Shen Bingmiao loved drama and scriptwriting and attended a media university, her major was "Digital Media Art."

Furthermore, she had competed in Jiangcheng Universities' programming competition as an individual, thoroughly impressing the legitimate computer science majors from the neighboring Jiangcheng Institute of Technology and Jiangcheng University.

Therefore, Lin Yu asked Shen Bingmiao...

Naturally, he wanted her to directly pull up the academic records of all first-year students at Jiangcheng Media.

In the backstage lounge of the activity center, Lin Yu watched as Shen Bingmiao opened her laptop, clicked a few times, and brought up several windows...

"Here, the academic records of all first-year students."

"Thanks, President."

Lin Yu selected the "female" category and began to scroll through them.

Jiangcheng Media University had enrolled over three thousand first-year students this year, with a slight majority of females, close to 2000.

Lin Yu had an excellent eye for recognizing people, so he scrolled quickly, needing only a glance at each file, which contained four students, to confirm...

There was no sign of the girl who had killed him.

Of course, it also helped that the junior schoolmate was beautiful, and strikingly so.

Those bright, sharp eyes and eyebrows were something Lin Yu wouldn't forget once he'd seen them.

In less than half an hour, Lin Yu reached the end.

"She's not here."

Lin Yu sighed, saying with some regret.

Seeing Lin Yu's disappointed expression, Shen Bingmiao became even more curious.

"Judging by your expression, it doesn't seem like you're looking for a junior schoolmate you like..."

"Let's just say I'm looking for an attacker."

Lin Yu shook his head.

"Could it be a guy? You only looked at the girls just now," Shen Bingmiao analyzed. "Maybe it was a 'cross-dresser'!"

"No, that physique and facial structure were definitely female," Lin Yu stated confidently. "And if it were a guy who looked like that... he'd probably be famous throughout the entire school by now."

Jiangcheng Media University's performing arts department was very famous, so the school didn't lack beautiful girls or handsome guys. Therefore, even if the "junior schoolmate" from last night was very attractive, she could still have been unknown.

But if it were a guy that beautiful...

Lin Yu would probably have recognized him last night!

Shen Bingmiao clicked her tongue lightly. "Okay, how about I help you... investigate through other means?"

"For you to mistake her for a junior schoolmate means she must look very much like a university student. There aren't that many universities in Jiangcheng..."

She said eagerly. Lin Yu hesitated and shook his head.

"Never mind, President."

If Shen Bingmiao were to investigate further, Lin Yu feared she might get into trouble.

He still didn't know the true motive of the mysterious girl who had killed him, nor whether she was prone to killing innocent people...

But after all, she was a dangerous individual who could pull out a pistol at any moment and might have participated in a "death game."

As a participant in the "death game," Lin Yu knew very well...

After experiencing this game, he would cherish life more—especially his own life!

But when it came to the lives of others...

Lin Yu couldn't deny that his attitude towards other people's lives had become more dismissive!

Because he had killed people in the death game.

Just as a fierce beast that has killed cannot be kept, a person who has killed... is essentially the same.

Because they would include "killing" – something most people would rarely seriously consider – as a potential "solution" when encountering problems.

"Don't worry, President... this is just a small matter."

"I won't let it affect my performance on stage!"

Lin Yu said confidently.

Seeing Lin Yu's assurance, Shen Bingmiao could only nod.

"Alright, I believe you... Who told you to be the 'Ace' of our drama club!"

And just as Lin Yu had promised...

He continued with rehearsals, seemingly having completely forgotten his worries, maintaining a perfect state.

Even Shen Bingmiao, watching from below, had to admit...

Lin Yu's performance today was indeed perfect.

"He's in great shape..."

"No, it can't even be called 'great shape.' It feels like overnight... Junior Lin Yu has suddenly evolved!"

"It's as if someone held a gun to his head last night and forced him to practice acting all night!"

Shen Bingmiao muttered.

What she didn't know...

This seemingly joking remark, in a sense, also revealed the truth!

Lin Yu had indeed completed the most successful improvisation of his life last night with a gun to his head!

Playing the "detective," playing the "player," playing... the "deity"!

Lin Yu could also feel...

After experiencing last night's death game, his acting had truly "ascended"!

"Is this what the teacher meant by experience helping acting grow..."

That evening, after the official performance concluded...

Listening to the thunderous applause from below, and seeing the students who were originally there just for "credits" or dragged by their roommates to "support" them now completely immersed in his performance, Lin Yu felt deeply moved.

His acting had been good before, but the emotional impact wasn't as strong as today!

"Is this a blessing in disguise?"

Lin Yu thought, and couldn't help but smile.

However... no matter what.

Better acting is a good thing!

"Club president, I'm leaving now!"

Seeing the sky darkening outside the door, Lin Yu, who had changed out of his costume backstage, said to Shen Bingmiao.

"Ace, we still have a thank-you and interaction session!"

Shen Bingmiao reminded him.

Lin Yu smiled: "Just say I have a 'stomachache.' The lead actor felt unwell but still insisted on performing the entire show, but is unfortunately unable to come out to thank the audience... I'm sure everyone will understand, right?"

With that, Lin Yu left the drama club directly.

"Hey, you come back here!"

Shen Bingmiao stomped her feet anxiously, but she couldn't do anything about Lin Yu.

She looked at Lin Yu's retreating back and sighed.

"Fine, I'll do as he says..."

"I hope those 'fans' who came for him won't be too angry."

After leaving the drama club's backstage, Lin Yu got on his bicycle and hurried out of the campus.

His current destination...

Was naturally the address on the card – "No. 940 Changming Street, Shangnan District, Jiangcheng"!

Although the time wasn't right...

Lin Yu still had to go scout the location in advance.
