59: Chapter 59 Boss, you know me

The air in the F-Class lounge froze.

Just as the group of four, including Jiang You, was about to take a step toward "escape," Senior Ji Youyou's lazy voice, laced with bone-chilling coldness, drifted over.

"Stop."

These two simple words seemed to cast a paralysis spell.

The four of them froze in place, maintaining poses like standing on one leg or mid-stride, their necks turning with a creaking "clack, clack, clack" sound like rusty gears.

Senior Ji Youyou sat on the lounge sofa, toying with that little white snake in her hand, her eyes flickering like ghostly fire.

Su Nuonuo carried a rocket launcher on her shoulder, wearing a sweet smile that said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll blast you into smithereens."

Although a bit shy, Qiu Yunan wore gloves crackling with lightning, standing firmly on the unified front.

Above them, Mo Wu, the invisible man hung up like cured meat, swayed in the breeze, letting out a faint, mournful cry: "Mmm... it really wasn't me... I don't even have any presence... how could I steal anything..."

"My dear underclassmen."

Senior Ji Youyou leaned forward slightly, her eyes, which seemed able to pierce through souls, sweeping over the four of them:

"Last night, the third floor was robbed."

"And everything lost was... personal items."

"You four live the closest. Could it be... you didn't hear anything? Or perhaps..."

She licked her red lips, her tone chilling: "The thief is among you?"

"Hiss—!!"

The four of them sucked in a breath of cold air in perfect unison.

This was a death trap of a question!

If they didn't explain clearly, Mo Wu's current fate would be theirs in a moment!

Their will to survive reached its peak at this moment.

Gou Fugui was the first to step forward, pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with an expression of righteous indignation, even carrying a bit of a merchant's professional integrity:

"Big Sister! I've been wronged!"

"You know me!"

"Although I, Gou Fugui, love money, I have my principles! If I had done it, those items would definitely be listed on a second-hand platform for auction by now, with marked prices, or even an 'original scent' bidding war! I would never keep them for myself! Keeping them hidden is a waste of merchandise!"

Senior Ji Youyou thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, you are a profiteer who only cares about money; you don't have the guts for that kind of lechery."

Immediately after, Xiang Batian stepped forward, even flexing his biceps, his face filled with disdain for worldly desires:

"Big Sister! You know me!"

"I, Xiang Batian, only have muscles and protein in my Heart! In my eyes, women only slow down my lifting speed!"

"Instead of spending time climbing buildings to steal things, I might as well do two more sets of squats! That kind of flimsy fabric isn't even on my aesthetic radar!"

Su Nuonuo curled her lips: "That's true, this big oaf only has muscles in his brain."

It was Lu Xingye's turn.

Although his neck still hurt and he felt ashamed because his goddess, Qiu Yunan, was present, he had to prove his innocence!

Lu Xingye tossed his hair and struck a lonely, arrogant swordsman pose:

"Big Sister! You know me!"

"Although I, Lu Xingye... although my emotional life is quite rich, I am a principled swordsman!"

"If I like something, I will pursue it openly and honorably! I will use my blade to protect it! Not act like a petty thief!"

"Besides..."

He sneaked a glance at Qiu Yunan, his voice suddenly rising to cover his guilty conscience: "I slept too soundly last night! I don't know what happened, but the back of my head still hurts! I suspect I was knocked out by some irresistible force!"

Senior Ji Youyou narrowed her eyes: "Hmm... a narcissist like you would indeed disdain doing something like this."

Finally, the three women's gazes fell uniformly upon Jiang You.

This newcomer.

This newcomer who wore spongebob pajamas, looked harmless, yet seemed strange in every way.

Jiang You's Heart beat wildly, because those "stolen goods" were pressed right under the mattress on the second floor above his head!

But on the surface, he was as steady as an old dog.

He took a deep breath, put on an expression even more aggrieved than Dou E, and pointed at his own dark circles:

"Big Sister! Everyone!"

"You know me even better!"

"I'm just a piece of trash who only wants to sleep! I find even queuing for registration tiring!"

"That's the third floor! It's so high! And you have to climb over the balcony!"

"If I had the stamina to climb up there, would I be lying around here all day?"

The more Jiang You spoke, the more excited he became, even starting to shift the blame:

"And I slept like a dead pig last night! If you don't believe me, ask these three!"

"Although Lu Xingye doesn't snore, he was grinding his teeth last night! The sound was so loud! I even heard it in my dreams!"

Lu Xingye's eyes widened: "I grind my teeth? How come I don't know about that?"

Jiang You stomped on his foot hard, giving him frantic winks.

Lu Xingye immediately changed his tune, clutching his jaw: "Ah, yes, yes, yes! I grind my teeth! I ground them all night! My teeth are almost worn flat! Jiang You definitely slept very soundly; he even drooled all over his pillow!"

Watching these four oddballs explaining with sincere faces.

Plus the miserable state of Mo Wu hanging above.

Senior Ji Youyou frowned, the killing intent in her eyes receding slightly.

"Indeed..."

"A profiteer, a martial arts fanatic, a narcissist, and a lazy bum."

"Your combination... really doesn't look like it could pull off such a lecherous thief's deeds."

Just as the three of them were about to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to slip away.

Gou Fugui, who had secretly glanced at his phone, suddenly let out a scream, breaking the brief silence.

"Holy crap!!!"

"Forget about the lost underwear... oh no, forget about the small matter of lost clothes!"

"Something big happened! Something huge happened!"

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to him.

Su Nuonuo asked curiously: "What's wrong? Did you discover a new dungeon again?"

Gou Fugui held up his phone, his hand trembling, and read the pinned, red-highlighted announcement from the campus forum with a pale face:

"Extra! Extra!"

"Last night, Magic City Martial Arts University suffered a terrorist attack!"

"The Jade Clarity Spirit Pool, the pride of Class A, was pumped dry overnight using a water pump! Even the silt was scraped away! Leaving only one line: 'The portion is too small, not enough to fill me up'!"

"That's not even the scariest part..."

Gou Fugui swallowed, his voice trembling: "The fourth-tier divine beast raised by the principal in the back garden, the Profound Water Giant Turtle..."

"Was attacked!"

"Its flesh and blood were drained! The worst part is..."

"That priceless fourth-tier turtle shell is missing too! Someone ripped it off by force!"

The whole room was in an uproar.

"Drained the spirit pool? Ripped off the turtle shell?"

"What kind of vicious criminal is this?"

"They didn't even spare the principal's turtle shell? That's too cruel!"

"Wait... there's an update!"

Gou Fugui continued reading, his expression becoming increasingly bizarre:

"Wait... this doesn't seem right."

"The trend on the forum has changed now."

"The Logistics Department posted: Last night, the warehouse was robbed, losing 3,000 catties of rice and 500 barrels of cooking oil; this was also done by the Faceless Man!"

"The Finance Department posted: The accounts from last quarter don't match, with one million in funds missing; they suspect it was stolen by the Faceless Man last night!"

"Even the old man guarding the gate posted: His Chinese pastoral dog, which had been missing for three months, was also snatched away by the Faceless Man!"

Hearing this, Jiang You's [Internal Chat Group] instantly exploded.

[Internal Chat Group (Everyone overheating)]

[Kidneys (Exasperated)]: "Slander! This is blatant slander!!"

"I went to restock! I restocked spirit energy! Energy! The essence of a fourth-tier spirit beast!"

"Who the hell cares about that 3,000 catties of rice and genetically modified soybean oil! Do we look like we're lacking carbohydrates?"

"And that dog! What does that dog have to do with us! Is our taste that bad?"

[stomach (Aggrieved)]: "Exactly! I only ate a pool of water and one turtle! Although I have a big appetite, I have standards! Don't pin low-level things like stealing money on me!"

[Right Hand (Angrily clenching a fist)]: "These mortals actually dare to throw this dirty water onto our great 'Faceless Man' persona! This seriously lowers our status!"

Just as the organs were filled with righteous indignation, the topic outside turned back to the "lost underwear on the third floor" incident.

Senior Ji Youyou sneered: "It seems this Faceless Man is a pervert; stealing resources is one thing, but he also steals girls' personal clothing."

Hearing this, the [Internal Chat Group] suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
