"Why are you leaving? I want to hear what Liu Dezhu has to say!" Nan Gengchen muttered.
Qing Chen glanced at him. "What's so good to hear? Are you a Time Walker? If not, it's useless to listen."
Nan Gengchen was taken aback. "This is all firsthand information from the Inner World! What if you... what if we can use it if we transmigrate in the future?"
"Not interested," Qing Chen said dismissively.
"Transmigration is so interesting," Nan Gengchen said. "If we both transmigrate to the Inner World, we can become Transcendental or get mechanical limbs and become superhumans. Then I'll form a 'Father Complex Alliance' with you. It sounds exciting."
Qing Chen: "..."
The reporter was eventually blocked downstairs by a group of teachers. The school is a place of learning; how could outsiders be allowed to run wild?
During the first class break, a figure secretly climbed over the school wall.
He grabbed a student on the playground and asked, "Where's Class 2 Grade 2?"
The student was obviously stunned to hear the Sichuan dialect but still pointed the way for him.
The middle-aged man thanked him and headed towards the classroom.
At this moment, Liu Dezhu had just returned from the academic affairs office. Before his classmates could surround him, someone suddenly rushed up to Liu Dezhu. "You're Liu Dezhu? I'll give you money. Talk to Li Shutong and see if you can let me go."
Everyone was stunned.
The classroom was silent for only a second, but in the originally noisy environment, this second of silence was exceptionally abrupt.
"This is... Jian Sheng! He's still in Luocheng! Quickly call a teacher!" a classmate exclaimed.
Jian Sheng had not left Luocheng after his business trip because his matters were not yet concluded.
He saw the news on Weibo today and immediately rushed to Luocheng Foreign Language School.
Actually, Jian Sheng wasn't sure if Liu Dezhu was the person he was looking for, but now everyone was saying so...
He stood at the door of Class 2 Grade 2 and said, "Who is it that cannot be kept?"
The students at the classroom door took a while to react. "You mean Liu Dezhu, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Liu Dezhu!" Jian Sheng patted his forehead.
A student pointed the way for him, and Liu Dezhu inside the classroom immediately sensed danger and got up, wanting to run.
Jian Sheng rushed forward and grabbed him, saying urgently, "I know you're awesome in Prison No. 18. The Transcendental who interrogated me followed you. Your status must be very high!"
Liu Dezhu was flustered. "It's not me, you've got the wrong person!"
"Oh my, don't worry, I won't grab your..." As Jian Sheng spoke, he was pulled out of the classroom by two teachers who had just arrived. "I'll give you money!"
Jian Sheng's curses echoed in the hallway, and the classmates all turned to look at Liu Dezhu...
Liu Dezhu was about to collapse. He really hadn't expected that telling a lie would lead to so many complications.
Honestly, the thing he most desired at this moment was to find the third Time Walker in the prison!
He wanted to see who it was that had made him take such a huge fall!
At this moment, Qing Chen, the one who had set up this whole situation, was sitting in the classroom, as if the commotion outside had nothing to do with him.
He saw Nan Gengchen take out a computer programming textbook and asked, "Why are you suddenly looking at this?"
"It's... nothing," Nan Gengchen said. "I just want to learn a skill. What do you think about us getting close to Liu Dezhu? If we build a good relationship, we might get a lot of benefits in the Inner World."
"No need," Qing Chen replied. "I'm not a Time Walker."
But at that moment, he suddenly lowered his head in thought.
He knew that Liu Dezhu was an imposter, of course, but Time Walkers like Nan Gengchen didn't know that.
There were probably tens of thousands of Time Walkers across the country now. Would anyone be attracted to Luocheng by Liu Dezhu's "identity"?
Because this was the easiest way to find "reliable teammates" in the Inner World based on known information.
He Xiaoxiao had suggested that everyone team up and stick together in the Inner World, but the difference between a bad teammate and a reliable teammate was huge.
However, what puzzled Qing Chen a little was.
Given that such a major incident had occurred today, why hadn't anyone from the Kunlun organization appeared yet?
Could Li Shutong's legacy not be enough to attract attention? Definitely not.
There had to be something wrong.
By the time evening self-study arrived, Qing Chen still hadn't seen any sign of Kunlun. He had a feeling something was about to happen, but he didn't know what.
At 9:20 PM, the second and third-year students of Luocheng Foreign Language School rushed out of school.
The campus at night had a special beauty under the dim streetlights.
Students in school uniforms walked along the small paths, chatting in pairs. Students on bicycles said goodbye to them and then sped off into the night.
Some girls walked ahead, and the boys who had a crush on them would chase and play with their friends behind them, trying to attract their attention.
It seemed like this was what youth was supposed to be like.
At this moment, after bidding farewell to his classmates, Liu Dezhu pushed his bicycle out of the shed and rode towards Xinglong Garden.
He recalled the events of the day, feeling increasingly wronged. But after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to do.
As he passed by Huanghe Road, he suddenly felt something was wrong. A black commercial van was rapidly approaching him.
He turned to look and was startled to see that both people in the front seats of the van were wearing sunglasses, and the passenger in the front seat was looking at him.
Liu Dezhu inwardly cursed his bad luck.
Just as they were about to enter an underpass with no surveillance.
The person in the driver's seat of the black van swerved towards Liu Dezhu, using the car's body to violently ram into him.
He frantically swerved his bike onto the sidewalk, but the black van drove onto the sidewalk, hitting Liu Dezhu and his bicycle, sending them flying.
The screech of tires against the ground mingled with Liu Dezhu's screams.
The black van stopped crookedly on the curb. With a clack, the car door was pulled open, and a man's cold voice came from inside: "Make it quick, take him."
Two people wearing sunglasses jumped out of the car and charged at Liu Dezhu without hesitation.
Their expressions were fierce, exactly like the fierce bandits in Hong Kong movies.
But the most crucial thing was that Liu Dezhu clearly saw that both of them were equipped with mechanical limbs!
"Help!" Liu Dezhu was terrified and roared desperately.
In an instant, a blinding high beam lit up from behind, shining on everyone.
The engine roar, approaching from afar, sounded like thunder. It was as if a steel beast was galloping on the cement road...
With a boom, a black SUV violently crashed into the rear side of the black commercial van!
The black commercial van was sent tumbling!
The two fierce bandits who had gotten out earlier changed their expressions and immediately lunged at the black SUV. The mechanical limbs in their arms extended into two long blades, but before they could reach the SUV, a blurry figure leaped down from the overpass, six meters above.
Someone had been waiting there all along!
The figure fell quickly and rapidly, landing directly on top of the two fierce bandits in a flash.
Legs forged of steel stomped on the shoulders of the two fierce bandits, pinning them heavily to the ground.
Blue sparks flickered, and the mechanical limbs on the bandits' shoulders shattered, revealing the electronic components within.
The figure who descended from the sky turned to Liu Dezhu and asked, "Are you alright? Hello, nice to meet you. I am the person in charge of Kunlun, Zheng Yuandong."
