[Missing students 2] Li Chen returned, the secret of half a mirror!
Chen Han was curious now too.
Why not turn around and ask?
Didn't the rules say so anyway?
Interact more with the other students, and you could gain unexpected information.
"An anonymous box? Where is this anonymous box?"
Chen Han asked.
The two were initially surprised when they saw Chen Han turn around.
Sun Taozha was shocked. He hadn't expected the top student to be curious about gossip too.
But since he himself didn't understand what Li Zhan was talking about, he still shook his head.
Li Zhan glanced at Chen Han, seemingly hesitating over whether to tell him.
Chen Han gave a little laugh.
"I'm just curious. After all, I'm always studying, so I don't know anything about these things."
Only after hearing Chen Han say this did Li Zhan breathe a sigh of relief.
"You don't even know about the anonymous box?"
He cast a proud glance at Chen Han.
"Right, when the teacher mentioned the anonymous box last time, you seemed to be memorizing vocabulary."
"The anonymous box is over at the academic affairs office."
A question mark appeared over Chen Han: ?
Which raised another question: where was the academic affairs office?
"Where's the academic affairs office?"
Li Zhan looked at Chen Han, somewhat speechless.
How could he not even know where the academic affairs office was?
But on further thought, it was normal enough.
After all, at this school, only students with poor grades had the chance to enter the academic affairs office.
A good student like Chen Han naturally never had a single opportunity to go there.
"The academic affairs office is on the fifth floor."
"We're on the third floor right now, right? The academic affairs office is on the fifth. If you can't find it after going up, walk around once. You'll definitely find it then!"
"But I'd advise you not to wander around the fifth floor for no reason. That place is really sinister!"
"It's haunted!"
Chen Han looked thoughtful.
"Isn't there also a big lock on the door to the academic affairs office? Every class's homeroom teacher has a key."
"There are plenty of secrets inside the academic affairs office, you know~ Hehe."
This time, it wasn't Li Zhan speaking, but Chen Han's deskmate, Wang Xihu.
That wasn't even the most frightening part. The most frightening part was that Wang Xihu's pencil case was open now.
A blue pen had appeared inside that pencil case.
[6. When a blue pen appears in your deskmate's pencil case, do not, under any circumstances, speak to him.]
Chen Han's lips parted slightly, as though he was about to pick up where Wang Xihu had left off.
The livestream chat immediately exploded.
Most people were afraid Chen Han would slip up, but a small minority were purely there to laugh at him.
"Holy shit, wasn't Wang Xihu asleep just now?"
"The moment Chen Han turned around, this guy woke up. He even deliberately opened his pencil case to show the blue pen!"
"What? That's way too underhanded! Chen Han had already turned around to chat with the people behind him. How was he supposed to notice a blue pen suddenly appearing in Wang Xihu's pencil case?"
"LMAO, these fans are making excuses again!"
"Honestly, I think Chen Han's definitely going down this time. I never thought he was all that impressive anyway."
To everyone's astonishment, Chen Han merely kept his mouth half-open for a moment, then turned back around and continued studying.
Li Zhan didn't think anything of it. After all, in his impression, Chen Han was a good student.
Outside of studying, he was usually a man of few words. Stiff and boring, just like most of their classmates.
The livestream viewers were shocked by Chen Han's reaction too.
"Holy shit, why did Chen Han suddenly turn back around?!"
"This is ridiculous. Wasn't Chen Han just sitting there with his mouth half-open, about to speak?"
"I seriously suspect Chen Han has cheats!"
"I'm absolutely stunned!"
"What exactly happened?"
At this moment, Li Chen appeared again!
Li Chen had only been absent earlier because he really couldn't stay awake any longer!
Chen Han had returned to the System Space, so he didn't need to sleep.
But Li Chen was different. He had stayed up from 8:00 a.m. yesterday, when Chen Han's first instance began, all the way until 6:00 a.m. today.
He had stayed awake for twenty-two hours straight.
He truly couldn't keep going anymore, so he had slept until now.
Li Chen had a body clock, so whenever he didn't follow his old sleep schedule, he could never sleep well.
After just over six hours of sleep, he had woken up naturally.
When he woke up, he nearly swore aloud.
Why the fuck had Chen Han started a third instance?!
Was there no martial virtue left at all?!!!
As the gold-medal analyst of Chen Han's livestream-a self-appointed title-how could he miss Boss Chen Han's stream!
Although Li Chen kept cursing aloud, his body was honest.
He once again began watching Chen Han's livestream with rapt attention.
As for lunch?
A tub of instant noodles would do.
This was all because Boss Chen Han was simply too charismatic!
Even while sleeping just now, Li Chen had dreamed about clearing an instance together with Boss Chen Han.
Boss Chen Han had even praised his potential, saying that of all the underlings he had led so far, Li Chen was the most like him.
Li Chen had been so delighted that he had nearly laughed himself awake.
He had wished he could immediately climb a mountain of blades and plunge into a sea of fire for Chen Han!
Back to the matter at hand.
Li Chen's mind was now racing.
What exactly had happened?
How exactly had Chen Han realized he shouldn't speak to Wang Xihu?
Could it be that Chen Han simply didn't want to acknowledge Wang Xihu?
But that was impossible. Wang Xihu had revealed:
Entering the academic affairs office required the key carried by the homeroom teacher-
Such explosive, practical information.
Someone like Boss Chen Han, who pursued useful, valuable information, couldn't possibly have refrained from asking further questions.
Besides, the rule only said to ignore Wang Xihu when there was a blue pen in his pencil case. But if there wasn't a blue pen in Wang Xihu's pencil case-
There would be no problem with Boss Chen Han responding to him.
So the question now became:
How had Boss Chen Han noticed a blue pen appearing in Wang Xihu's pencil case while his back was turned to him!
Li Chen immediately began scanning everything on Chen Han with eagle eyes.
There was nothing wrong with anything on Chen Han.
Could something be off with the desk behind him?
Li Chen now began examining the desk in the row behind very carefully.
Suddenly, he spotted an object reflecting light!
It was undoubtedly a mirror!
Half of this mirror had broken off. It looked as though Li Zhan had picked up a girl's broken mirror to use himself, but that wasn't the point.
What mattered was that, from Chen Han's angle, he could use the mirror's reflection to see exactly whether there was a blue pen in Wang Xihu's pencil case behind him!
Li Chen was shocked!
What incredible powers of observation!
While Chen Han was chatting with the people at Li Zhan's desk.
He had probably already scanned every item on the desk carefully.
Chen Han might even have deliberately adjusted this mirror's position earlier.
After all, Li Chen seemed to remember Chen Han's hands constantly moving around while he was chatting with Li Zhan.
At the time, he had thought Boss Chen Han was performing "rhythmic trembling."
Now it seemed he had been far too naive!
Boss Chen Han had been carefully adjusting the mirror's position!
And he had done it deliberately.
He had deliberately drawn Wang Xihu into talking to them so that he could obtain more information!
That was so fucking awesome!
Li Chen was utterly awestruck with admiration!
