24: Song Zhong, the frog seller! (First update for Xinying)

Half a month had passed.

Li Yifei sat bored at his desk, eating crispy rice.

"Sigh! Lin Qi Ye isn't coming to school anymore, it's so boring! Even the extra spicy food doesn't taste good now!"

Only by experiencing things together do people find common ground.

Now, Li Yifei didn't even have a friend he could confide in!

Was this what loneliness felt like?

The familiar saxophone music played, school was out!

Li Yifei took out his phone and changed his screen name to "Empty Young Master."

Students walked out of the classroom in groups, chatting and laughing, checking their phones from time to time!

Wang Liang was scrolling through his chat app when he suddenly noticed an unfamiliar name.

"Empty Young Master?"

Then he looked at the profile picture—wasn't this Li Yifei?

Wang Liang glanced behind him and, sure enough, Li Yifei was walking alone.

He ran over, "Li Yifei, why did you change your screen name?"

Li Yifei was startled, "Ah! I was bored, so I changed it."

"Bored? Li Yifei, I'm not trying to lecture you, but you're really carefree. The exam is on Friday, aren't you going to study?" Wang Liang looked exasperated.

"Holy cow, there's an exam on Friday?" Li Yifei was shocked, "I've been having nightmares these past few days and not sleeping well, I completely forgot about it!"

Wang Liang's jaw dropped in surprise, "You... you could forget that?"

"I need to go back to the classroom!" Li Yifei suddenly remembered something and immediately turned and ran back.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to get my textbooks and homework..." Li Yifei threw out a sentence and ran off.

Wang Liang sighed, feeling that his friend was beyond saving.

By the time Li Yifei returned to the teaching building, most of the students had already left.

His class was on the fourth floor, and at this point, almost all the students who were cleaning had also left.

The door was locked, but Li Yifei knew the key was on the door frame.

He stood on his tiptoes, reached up, and sure enough, found a key.

"Hehe! That won't stop me!"

Li Yifei went to his desk and put his homework and textbooks into his backpack.

He walked to the door, and just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps.

Who could it be, still here so late? Could they be like him, back to get their homework?

A surge of curiosity came over Li Yifei. He pressed his ear to the door and listened in.

"Liu Xiaoyan, it's so late, why haven't you left yet?"

A familiar middle-aged man's voice came from the hallway, it was the school's Dean of Studies!

Liu Xiaoyan, Dean of Studies?

Li Yifei continued to listen.

"Liu Xiaoyan?" There was a hint of confusion in the Dean of Studies' voice!

It seemed Liu Xiaoyan didn't respond to the Dean of Studies!

"Wait, what are you doing?"

It was still the Dean of Studies' voice, but this time, it was clearly tinged with fear.

Li Yifei couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer. He poked his head out!

"Damn it..." Li Yifei quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

He had thought that after the alley murderer incident, his psychological resilience would have improved a lot.

But the scene that just unfolded scared Li Yifei half to death.

He saw Liu Xiaoyan open her mouth wide and actually swallow the Dean of Studies, just like a snake.

Liu Xiaoyan was eating people!

Just as Li Yifei was at a loss, an even more terrifying scene occurred.

Liu Xiaoyan spat the Dean of Studies back out.

Ate and then spat out?

The Dean of Studies, who reappeared, first looked around blankly.

Then he and Liu Xiaoyan exchanged a smile and walked downstairs.

Li Yifei let go of his mouth, gasping for air.

What's going on? My life is too miserable, how did I end up encountering something like this?

God, are you kidding me?

I just changed my screen name to Empty Young Master, and you pull this stunt, right?

I just wanted to show off, is it too late to regret it now?

Sigh, if Lin Qi Ye were here, what would he do?

Lin Qi Ye?

Suddenly, Li Yifei remembered the place where he signed the confidentiality agreement last time!

Peace Bridge, Peacekeeping Bureau!

That was the official super-powered individual's office!

I'll go provide a clue and earn merit, maybe the Night Watcher will make an exception and let me join?

Yes, that's what I'll do. Now, there aren't many brave and righteous young men like me left.

No sooner said than done, Li Yifei cautiously walked into the hallway.

After seeing Liu Xiaoyan and the Dean of Studies leave the campus through the glass, he then ran downstairs.

After leaving the school gate, Li Yifei ran directly towards Peace Bridge.

"Whew..."

Aside from his last escape, he hadn't run so hard in a long time!

Soon, Li Yifei arrived at Peace Bridge. Across the bridge was the Peacekeeping Bureau.

There were many vendors selling things on both sides of Peace Bridge.

They were the kind who would run when the city management came.

Li Yifei slowed down. The pedestrian traffic here was heavy, and he was afraid of stepping on other people's things.

Thud!

In his haste, Li Yifei wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone.

He looked up and saw a worker dressed in a frog costume that sold baby frogs.

Next to the frog mascot was a sign that read:

Life is hard, selling babies for money! Illegitimate sea turtles 8 yuan each, little son swimming frogs 12 yuan each, eldest son squatting frogs 15 yuan each.

"I'm sorry, excuse me!" Li Yifei quickly apologized.

The frog mascot waved its hand, indicating it was fine, then took half a step back to make way for Li Yifei!

Li Yifei thought for a moment, took out 15 yuan from his wallet, and picked up a squatting frog.

"Um, the frog is quite cute, I'll buy one!"

With that, Li Yifei ran towards the Peacekeeping Bureau.

Beneath the frog mascot, Song Zhong, whose face and aura had changed, looked at Li Yifei, who was running with the frog on his back, with some emotion!

"I waited here for days, and finally I waited for you to report it!"

Song Zhong put the fifteen yuan away, tucking it into his pocket.

"Hehehe! Since you're reporting it now, I'll have to make some small moves at the school dormitory tonight..."

Inside the Peacekeeping Bureau, Lin Qi Ye had just finished sparring with Leng Xuan, covered in sweat.

Even though Leng Xuan was usually a sneaky sniper, his close-quarters combat was surprisingly good!

And Leng Xuan, in his heart, was marveling at Lin Qi Ye's abnormality, that he actually had such good talent.

It was a good thing his shooting wasn't good, otherwise, he wouldn't have any self-respect left!

As soon as the two had changed into clean clothes, Hong Ying walked in, "Lin Qi Ye, come with me, someone has reported a Mysterious clue!"

Lin Qi Ye didn't dare to delay and quickly followed Hong Ying to the reception room.

A familiar face came into his view.

Li Yifei!

Li Yifei, holding a frog mascot!

And Li Yifei also saw Lin Qi Ye at this moment.

After a few seconds of stunned, Li Yifei suddenly stood up from his chair and threw the frog mascot at Lin Qi Ye.
