In front of the bus, a group of energetic "little red hats" chattered excitedly.
The teacher, wearing black-rimmed glasses, called out names one by one from the list.
Wang Xue.
"Arrive!"
Lin Changsheng.
"Arrive."
" Lu Jia?"
Seeing that no one responded, the teacher looked up at the crowd.
"Where's Lu Jia? Didn't he come?"
The students looked around in surprise.
"I didn't see him."
"Who knows where he's hiding?"
"Do we have a student named Lu Jia in our class?"
"No, right?"
"I don't quite remember either."
"You guys are idiots! Lu Jia is my deskmate!"
"I remember now, the only one to blame is that he's always been too inconspicuous."
"..."
The Passerby A at the back of the line raised his right hand high. "Here!"
This time the teacher finally noticed him. "Next time you're called on, answer quickly and speak louder. A boy should be more confident and assertive."
Passerby A sighed inwardly.
He answered "Yes" twice, but no one present heard him.
The Passerby A looked around, and it didn't seem to match his expected Breakthrough Otherworld.
"No bloodshed occurred?"
After the teacher finished taking attendance, she announced loudly, "Everyone in Class 2 of Grade 7 is here. Line up and get on the bus."
The students boarded the bus excitedly, chatting and laughing, while only Passerby A frozen in place.
"Grade 7... Class 2..."
He looked at the bus in front of him, and at the group of familiar yet unfamiliar young men and women.
He remembered, he remembered everything.
This was a class outing a week after the start of the new school year for elementary school graduates.
"You can't get on the bus!"
Passerby A suddenly shouted, startling everyone present.
Everyone turned around and looked at this usually inconspicuous classmate with strange expressions.
The teacher stepped forward and asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Passerby A clenched his fists and shook his head repeatedly. "We can't get on the bus, there will be... there will be..."
The teacher asked curiously, "What is it?"
Passerby A was like a fish that had just come ashore, trying to open his mouth wide but unable to make a sound.
It was as if a pair of large hands had gripped his neck, and he couldn't utter those two words no matter what.
The teacher frowned and said, "You're not trying to attract everyone's attention this way, are you?"
He had seen many abstract students, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so abstract, performing performance art in public.
Everyone's waiting for you, get on the bus!
Seeing that the Passerby A kept opening his mouth but not making a sound, the teacher had no choice but to pull him into the car.
The doors closed, and the bus slowly drove out of the city gate.
"Hahaha! Brother Biao, we're out!"
"Let's go, let's find Law Enforcement now and kill those company lackeys..."
Wang Biao felt like he was drunk, his head was heavy and his feet were unsteady.
Someone in front of him was talking excitedly and shaking his shoulders incessantly.
After a while, Brother Biao was finally able to see his surroundings clearly.
He experienced the Otherworld far fewer times than other Hunter, and the "aftereffects" he suffered when he was first teleported in were also the greatest.
Hao Qiang, you're still alive!
When Wang Biao saw the excited, incoherent boy with a scar on his forehead, he was taken aback.
The boy excitedly patted Wang Biao on the shoulder. " Brother Biao, not only am I alive, but you're still alive too!"
"We're all still alive! Hahahaha!"
Wang Biao looked around; the two of them were in a narrow alley in the Dark Night.
" Breakthrough Otherworld..."
Wang Biao realized what was happening at that moment.
He was still in Otherworld.
Moreover, the Otherworld transported him back to the day he escaped from the jaws of death.
"What's the meaning?"
"Let me choose again?"
Wang Biao frowned; this was completely different from the "wild killing" Breakthrough Otherworld he had imagined.
Instead of rivers of blood, the scene of the past was repeated, and it was the scene he least wanted to recall.
" Brother Biao, let's hurry to the Law Enforcement Department! The company's spies should be finding us soon!"
The boy named Hao Qiang started to walk out of the alley as he spoke.
Wang Biao reached out and grabbed his arm.
Hao Qiang turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Brother Biao?"
Wang Biao asked seriously, " Qiangzi, do you believe me?"
Hao Qiang nodded, puzzled. "Of course I believe you. I wouldn't have escaped this time without Brother Biao."
Wang Biao said in a deep voice, "Then trust me one more time and don't go to the Law Enforcement Department."
Although he didn't understand the Otherworld's intentions, now that he had been given a second chance, he would never make that wrong decision again.
After a moment of silence, Hao Qiang grinned and said, "Whatever Brother Biao says goes."
Wang Biao nodded. "Come on, I'll take you to find someone."
Hao Qiang leaned half his body out of the alley and said, "The company dogs haven't caught up yet, Brother Biao, let's go!"
Under the cover of night, the two quickly left the alley.
"Sister, I'm lost. I can't find Mom and Dad."
Looking at the panicked little girl in front of her, Lu Tongtong squatted down to comfort her, "What are your parents' names? I'll take you to find them."
She gently stroked the bow on the little girl's head; she had liked this style when she was very, very young.
The little girl shook her head, crying, "I... I forgot, waaaaah!"
Her face was dirty, as if she had tripped and fallen, looking like a little kitten.
The Little Deer gently hugged her, his voice tender. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll take you to the Law Enforcement, they will definitely take you home."
The little girl finally calmed down and nodded, saying, "Mmm."
Lu Tongtong murmured to herself, "Is this what Breakthrough Otherworld is like...?"
This is the city where she has lived since childhood.
Although completely bewildered by the current situation, Lu Tongtong still took the little girl's hand and headed towards the Law Enforcement Department.
"Sister, this way."
The little girl pointed in a direction completely opposite to that of the Law Enforcement Department.
Lu Tongtong laughed and said, " The Law Enforcement Department isn't over there."
The little girl said earnestly, "But a voice told me I should go that way."
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Tongtong finally took the little girl there.
She hadn't gone far when three teenagers ran out from another intersection and brushed past her.
Looking at the back of one of them, Lu Tongtong felt a strong sense of familiarity and blurted out, " Qin Ze?"
One of them stopped and turned around, asking in confusion, "Do you know me?"
Lu Tongtong couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.
Unlike the Qin Ze she knew, the Qin Ze in front of her was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face showed no signs of fatigue or hardship.
He is Qin Ze from Otherworld, not the Qin Ze of reality.
It took Lu Tongtong a long time to come to her senses before she said, "I... know you."
After a moment of disorientation, the Fairy appeared in the living room of her home, where a family portrait of the four of them hung on the wall.
She raised her eyebrows. "What are you doing at my house?"
A dazzling white light suddenly shone on the Fairy.
After the white light faded, the Fairy disappeared, replaced by two graceful young women.
Qin Yu and Xia Huai'an.
Xia Huai'an, his arms wrapped around his heavy conscience, walked around the living room, looking around curiously.
"It really is your house."
" The Otherworld has separated us all."
Qin Yu waved his hand dismissively. "Sit down, make yourself at home, don't be shy."
Xia Huai'an sat on the sofa, his two long, straight legs crossed.
Do you think Breakthrough Otherworld would be useful for someone like us who's fallen into a lower realm?
Qin Yu glanced at the family photo on the wall and said calmly, "Who knows?"
"Um..."
A low, suppressed moan suddenly came from the bedroom.
Xia Huai'an glanced back and said, "It's your brother's bedroom."
Qin Yu was immediately overjoyed, as if she had discovered a new continent, and called to her best friend, "Go see what your future husband is doing!"
Xia Huai'an smirked. "You really want me to be a daughter-in-law of the Qin family that badly?"
Qin Yu was silent for a moment. "I used to think that way, but now I think Little Deer is more suitable than you."
Xia Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness."
Qin Yu: "You should thank Little Deer instead."
The two sisters tiptoed to the door and quietly pushed it open.
However, what they expected didn't happen in bed.
On the contrary, the situation now filled them with even more fear and shock.
Xia Huai'an patted Qin Yu's lower back. "Your brother... it's cracked again."
