Three Stalkers

It should be thanks to activating fourteen Mysterious System Gene Points, or perhaps because of that reckless move last night.

It made Xu Tui's senses extremely sharp right now.

The Maglev Bus station was bustling with people, men and women coming and going.

Most people's gazes were fixed on their personal communication devices. Young men and women even had earbuds in.

No one was idle enough to scrutinize others.

Occasionally, a glance would be cast, but it would be quickly withdrawn.

However, while waiting for the Maglev Bus, Xu Tui noticed someone intermittently sizing him up.

Xu Tui initially thought it was because his new White Shoes today had elevated his handsomeness to new heights, and some young ladies couldn't tear their eyes away.

But when Xu Tui located the source of the gaze, he felt quite helpless.

It was two guys.

They weren't picking their feet.

Perhaps it was because they were at the Maglev station.

When one of the men saw Xu Tui's gaze shift towards them, he quickly turned his head away.

Xu Tui didn't pay it any mind.

People at the station were scenery, especially handsome ones.

Didn't they have the right to look?

The Maglev Bus arrived. Xu Tui took a long stride, but didn't board.

He had to let the elderly and children go first, didn't he?

Xu Tui boarded in the last wave.

But as soon as he got on, he discovered the two guys who had been observing him also squeezed onto the bus.

Then Xu Tui noticed that at every stop, especially before the Maglev Bus halted, gazes simultaneously fell upon him, as if they were staring at him, observing whether he would disembark.

After five stops passed, this feeling of being watched grew clearer and clearer.

Xu Tui also realized that at least three people were staring at him.

As a youth of the 22nd century, having watched many dramas and countless anime series, he had learned a bit of emergency wisdom.

He hadn't eaten pork before, but he'd seen pigs run, hadn't he?

Xu Tui immediately had an idea.

First, he had to confirm if these three people were tailing him.

He also needed to ensure his own safety without alerting them.

Xu Tui had learned idioms like "beating the grass to startle the snake" and "a cornered dog will leap over the wall."

He felt that with the skills he'd learned from movies and anime, which he'd only ever practiced on his old teacher, parents, and classmates, he could handle not alerting these three.

Xu Tui could only think of one way to ensure his safety.

Go to a crowded place.

The advent of the Gene Great Era had caused a surge in individual human strength, leading to frequent conflicts. However, China's public security was always excellent.

Xu Tui got off normally when passing the West Lake Maglev Bus station.

There was an Internet Celebrity Milk Tea Shop here, a popular spot for many young boys and girls to check in.

Amidst the various poses for photos, Xu Tui took the opportunity to observe.

His heart sank.

As expected, three men had followed him down.

Two of them went off to smoke together, while one had just bought a bag of fried chicken and taken a bite.

Crunch

So good!

He could confirm it: these three guys were tailing him!

Xu Tui, queuing to buy milk tea, was completely bewildered.

What had he done to deserve the attention of three masters of tracking?

He shouldn't be that valuable, should he?

Even if he had activated fourteen Gene Points, it shouldn't be like this.

Could the legendary Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization really be targeting him for this reason alone?

The current batch of third-year high school students in Jincheng Prefecture were formidable. Jincheng Third Middle School had a powerhouse who had activated sixteen Gene Points.

There were also two strong individuals who had activated fifteen Gene Points, and one was rumored to be of the Mysterious System.

Even if the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization were to attack, they should go after those individuals first, shouldn't they?

The Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization are traitors who betrayed all of humanity.

According to official sources, they colluded with the Extraterrestrial Invaders long ago and engaged in an exchange of interests.

Several major defeats for humanity on the extraterrestrial battlefield and the nearly century-long stalemate are said to be related to the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization.

Especially in recent decades, the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization has successively obtained a large amount of cutting-edge technology from the Extraterrestrial Invaders, their strength has rapidly developed, and their influence has been constantly expanding.

Even under the suppression of the entire Blue Star Alliance, their activities remain extremely rampant.

The reason Xu Tui could associate them with the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization was because every year after the Gene Aptitude Test season in various countries and regions, the rampant activities of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization would appear all over the Blue Star world.

Genius students were assassinated, and quite a few students were abducted and disappeared.

According to the news, the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization was using these students, who had just activated their Gene Points, for experiments.

At this juncture, the possibility of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization was very high.

While nervous, Xu Tui felt a little excited.

Was this the life after activating Gene Points?

No longer so bland and monotonous?

But immediately, nervousness took center stage.

If it really was the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization, and he was abducted, even if he wasn't dissected, just being used for various drug tests would likely result in a very tragic end.

Xu Tui's first thought was to call the police.

To let Police Uncle handle this problem.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Police Uncle, but at this moment, no matter how exaggerated Xu Tui's claims were, the police department's reaction wouldn't be significant.

At most, they would send a Beat Cop to get some information.

You, a high school senior, discovered members of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization in action?

Is that possible?

Just bragging!

Every member sent out by the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization to cause trouble is a veteran who has undergone professional training.

In such a situation, if things went wrong, Xu Tui could be killed.

The current Xu Tui only had First Blood.

One kill and it's OVER!

Go home to find Mom and Dad?

Absolutely not.

Wouldn't that just bring danger home?

Call Class Mom for help?

After thinking about it, Xu Tui rejected the idea.

Class Mom Yu Zeping was actually a sports teacher with a man's body but a mother's heart. He would probably only be able to call the police and rush over himself.

Doing so could endanger Class Mom, if things went wrong.

"Take a taxi directly to the police station, even if it's a bit expensive?"

This idea was also unrealistic.

Those three stalkers wouldn't be foolish enough to follow Xu Tui to the police station. Instead, they would be alerted.

Even if Xu Tui went to the police station and explained his situation, the police probably wouldn't be able to offer much protection if they found nothing.

Two-thirds of the examinees in Jincheng Prefecture were concentrated in Jincheng City, having just finished the Gene Aptitude Test. There were over 100,000 students, so the police force was extremely stretched.

Moreover, even if the police force wasn't stretched, the police station couldn't send officers to protect Xu Tui based on a few words from him.

Suddenly, Xu Tui felt a sense of despair.

He had discovered the danger in advance through his abilities, but he had no channels or methods to resolve it.

"No, I have to save myself!"

Suddenly, Xu Tui remembered the business card from the female researcher.

"Ask her if she has any good methods. If there's really no other way, I'll sleep at the police station for two days."

Xu Tui opened his Personal Communicator and called the female researcher—Professor An Xiaoxue.

"Beep, the user you are calling is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Emma.

Xu Tui was speechless.

Was he really going to sleep at the police station for two days?

Suddenly, his Personal Communicator, worn like a watch, vibrated. Xu Tui received a message.

Professor An Xiaoxue's reply.

"I'm in a meeting, what's up?"

Xu Tui was overjoyed.

"Professor An, I've discovered three people are tailing me. Reporting it seems unable to resolve the danger. Do you have any good suggestions?" Xu Tui couldn't afford to be polite.

In the Gene Great Era, one had to reach a certain level of gene strengthening and evolution to become an Associate Professor or Professor.

Of course, researchers with outstanding achievements in specific fields could be promoted to professor exceptionally, even if their personal gene strengthening and evolution levels were average.

But An Xiaoxue was so young, he definitely wasn't promoted exceptionally.

"Are you sure you're being followed? How did you discover it?"

As expected, even An Xiaoxue, who knew Xu Tui had activated fourteen Gene Points, doubted the authenticity. Not to mention others.

"Professor An, after I got home yesterday, I found my perception had become very sharp, which is how I discovered it. Then I changed locations and found they were still following me, so I confirmed it." Xu Tui didn't conceal too much.

"Send me your location. Stay in a crowded place and wait for my news."

"Okay."

Xu Tui wasn't in a hurry anymore.

Visually, it would take at least another half hour for him to buy the popular milk tea. If he politely gave up his spot to a pretty young lady, it would take even longer.

Xu Tui noticed that the pair who had been smoking together earlier, and the one eating fried chicken, were now standing not far behind him.

They were queuing for milk tea together.

In the conference room on the top floor of the Jincheng Prefecture Government Hall building, a colonel with a full beard, wearing a crisp military uniform, was speaking.

"That's the gist of it. During this year's university student registration period, if anyone causes trouble or disobeys orders, I, Liu Tianhu, will be the first to deal with them."

Those present were high-ranking officials involved in this year's Gene Aptitude Test university student registration.

They included the Deputy Governor of Jincheng Prefecture, the heads and deputies of the Jincheng Education Bureau, the Jincheng Public Security Bureau, the Jincheng Special Intelligence Agency, and several military officers.

Besides them, An Xiaoxue and a man from Huaxia Gene Military University were also in attendance.

As a professor in the Mysterious System department of Huaxia Gene Evolution University, his social status was quite high.

Furthermore, An Xiaoxue's visit to Jincheng Prefecture was in his capacity as the Director of Admissions for Huaxia Gene Evolution University in Jincheng Prefecture.

"Colonel Liu, may I interrupt?" An Xiaoxue suddenly spoke.

Colonel Liu Tianhu was displeased at being interrupted.

Even so, the status of a professor from Huaxia Gene Evolution University, ranked first in the country, commanded a certain degree of respect from Liu Tianhu.

"Professor An, what is it?"

"Oh, I just wanted to ask Director Zhou," An Xiaoxue's gaze shifted to Zhou Sheng, the Director of the Jincheng Special Intelligence Agency.

"Director Zhou, a student of mine has asked me for help, saying he's being followed. Are you sending people to handle it, or should I go myself?" An Xiaoxue asked directly.

"Of course, we'll handle it."

It was a joke. On their own turf, having a professor from Huaxia Gene Evolution University rescue a student from Jincheng Prefecture would be a huge embarrassment for the Jincheng Prefecture Special Intelligence Agency.

"Professor An, the name of this student, his general condition, and location," Zhou Sheng asked.

"Xu Tui, 18 years old, male, has just activated fourteen Gene Points, currently at the Xile Milk Tea Shop in front of Fengshou Building, West Lake," An Xiaoxue said.

"Okay, I'll check the information first and arrange personnel to handle it immediately." Zhou Sheng casually opened his personal communication device, accessed the Special Intelligence Agency Dedicated System, and entered Xu Tui's name.

There weren't many people with that name.

He found it immediately.

However, after finding Xu Tui's information, Zhou Sheng was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Colonel Liu Tianhu before smiling at An Xiaoxue.

"Professor An, no need to worry. The people this student discovered following him are our own Special Intelligence Agency personnel.

They should have been dispatched this morning." Director Zhou Sheng of the Special Intelligence Agency said.

An Xiaoxue, however, frowned slightly. "You sent three Special Agents to protect a student of the Wisdom Heart Category? What are you planning?"

"Three people?"

Zhou Sheng's expression changed. "Is he sure there were three people following him?"

"What's going on?" An Xiaoxue immediately sensed something was wrong. "How many Special Agents did you send?"

"Intelligence indicates only two were sent!"

Due to the River Crab Divine Beast, the administrative department names were changed repeatedly. Naming them was such a hassle.
