Surprise! The top graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are actually supported by

A gust of wind blew through the hall, objects in the room rustled, and an oppressive atmosphere enveloped everyone.

"Search the entire area today, even if we have to dig deep into the ground to find the person!" After a long time, Officer Ge blurted out these words.

"Contact Tian Yucheng's parents and the teachers' dormitory of Mingde Middle School, and keep an eye out for any abnormalities."

"Yes!" The other policemen took the order and left.

Officer Ge turned to Yi Jie and Wang Yushan and said, "You two go back first. We, the police, will take care of the rest. Yi Jie, leave me your phone number and I'll let you know when I find someone."

Yi Jie understood that it was not convenient for them to interfere too much when the police were investigating the case. Even if they wanted to stay and help, they still had to follow the rules.

"Okay, Officer Ge, thank you for your hard work. If you need any help, please feel free to contact us."

It was just getting dark. Although it was close to early summer, Yi Jie and Wang Yushan could not feel any warmth at all. Their hearts sank to the bottom. It was said that there were golden 24 hours for emergency rescue. If Tian Yucheng could not be found tonight, she would most likely be in danger.

"Shouldn't we have waited at that time? We should have rushed in directly." Wang Yushan's voice was a little hoarse.

He is still young, and would be somewhat frightened after experiencing such a thing.

"No matter how hard we try to save people, we must put our own safety first. We don't know if Owen has a weapon or accomplices. If we rush in and get caught, it will cause greater losses. We have done a good job in discovering the abnormality in time."

Seeing Wang Yushan's depressed look, Yi Jie comforted her in a gentle tone.

"I understand. If only...if only I could be a little more powerful."

"We will in the future. We just need time to grow." Yi Jie told him word by word.

"Hmm!" Wang Yushan's red eyes made Yi Jie's heart tremble.

The little boy in front of me seemed to have completed a transformation that could change his future in an instant.

After parting ways, Yi Jie went home and sat quietly in her room for a long time, and finally asked Chi Chi the question that had been bothering her.

"Chichi, why have so many dangerous incidents happened around me since I was reborn? And I was involved in every one of them."

Chi Chi didn't answer her immediately.

"Can you tell me? I'm scared. Is it because of me that they suffered such a misfortune? Is it a chain reaction caused by me?"

In a trance, I seemed to hear a faint sigh.

"Host, have you ever heard of the saying that misfortune often leads to blessing, and blessing often leads to misfortune?"

"Well, I heard."

"Everything in this world actually follows the law of conservation of energy. Your rebirth and my existence have brought you great luck, which actually breaks the law. So a lot of darkness that has never been revealed to you will slowly emerge. It is not the bad luck you brought, but it has always existed. It's just that the time has come earlier, or you have discovered it through various channels."

"What does this mean? Are you asking me to solve it? This is ridiculous!" Yi Jie was extremely indignant.

"You can choose not to see or hear it. You will be blessed with great fortune, but I know you are kind-hearted and I cannot just ignore it. This is the most difficult part."

Yi Jie covered her moist eyes and sobbed without uttering a word.

“Host, do what you think in your heart. I will protect the people you care about from harm. We will work hard to complete the task and earn more energy points. The more chips we have in our hands, the less panic we will have when encountering problems.” The mechanical sound of “Chi Chi” carries a heart-warming warmth.

The voice deep in Yi Jie's heart became clearer, she understood!

"Maybe God wants to tell me that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Yi Jie clenched her fists. "I won't let it decide for me. I will only speak out about the injustice in my heart and help those who need it. Everything is in accordance with my heart. I may not be able to care about the world, but I can punish evil and promote good! And I will not give up what I want to do. I am the master of my own life."

"Okay! No matter what the future holds, I will always be with you!" Chichi was also very excited.

"As things stand now, the dark side that will be revealed to me will only increase in the future. I need to prepare more self-defense items on my body, and I also need to train this modified body. I can't always rely on brute force."

After figuring everything out, Yi Jie was no longer hesitant. This life was earned, and no matter whether it was smooth or not, it all came down to whether she was strong enough inside.

Since she has been given this test, she should pave a smooth road for God to see. She has two golden fingers, the system and rebirth. What else is there to be afraid of? Good wind, help me soar to the sky!

At eight o'clock in the evening, there was still no news from Officer Ge. If it was Owen who ran out of the house with Tian Yucheng, the combination of a foreigner and a high school girl would be so conspicuous that it would be impossible not to find a single witness. A few hours of searching would always yield some results, but now several hours have passed and there is still no news.

There was no way to solve Tian Yucheng's case by just waiting. The golden search time was only one night. Yi Jie decided to use a prop: Still Perfume. She could gain ten hours of search time. Even if it only worked for her, it was better than nothing. Maybe she could find out something.

Yi Jie took the remaining half of the tear gas pepper powder, searched the house, took out a hammer and put it on her body. After her aunt fell asleep, she sneaked out of the house.

The old town was full of police surveillance. Yi Jie took out her perfume and sprayed it on herself. This was her last chance to use it, so she didn't feel bad.

Everything around her stopped moving instantly, and Yi Jie ran into the alley. She still believed that the root of everything was in the alley, and there must be a secret hidden there.

After a carpet search of the entire alley, five hours had passed. Yi Jie was extremely anxious. Was he really wrong? How could a living person turn a blind eye?

Chichi Tips Yi Jie: Host, you haven't used the Eye of Wisdom yet, maybe it can give you some hints.

Yi Jie's eyes lit up. Yes, how could she forget this prop?

Take out the Eye of Wisdom from the system backpack and put it on your eyes.

"Please tell me what the real secret of this alley is. Where did Owen and the others escape from?"

A white light flashed, and what first appeared in front of Yi Jie's eyes was garbled data. After the garbled data disappeared, a line of text appeared: The truth of the matter is often hidden in the place that you are most likely to overlook.

In an instant, the screen of the glasses went black, and it seemed that the usage rights had ended.

"What? It's just such a dry sentence. Can't you say it in more detail?" Yi Jie complained.

"Hehe... Hehe, host, you know, philosophers always like to say half and hide the other half."

Yi Jie pouted and analyzed this sentence. What is in this alley? Bricks, walls, grass, that's nothing special. Yi Jie has almost touched every brick in the alley, and the grass is almost plucked out.

Was there something she hadn't seen? Yi Jie walked slowly from the entrance of the alley, not missing a single detail.

"Puff," Yi Jie stepped on a place with a lot of soil. It had rained two days ago, and the ground without bricks and stones had not been exposed to sunlight all year round, so the yellow mud was still moist.

Looking at her dirty sneakers, Yi Jie felt annoyed. Why was the mud so thick? Even with a flashlight at night, she couldn't see as clearly as during the day.

She thought she was unlucky and was about to continue searching forward when an idea flashed through her mind. Land? Yes, why didn't she think of it? The most easily overlooked thing in this alley is the land!

She shone the flashlight on the muddy ground she had just stepped on, where Yi Jie's footprints were still left. Upon closer inspection, she found that the mud in this area was not only thicker but also slightly darker in color than the mud next to it, and there was not even a single weed growing on it.

Normally, such moist and fertile muddy ground would always have one or two young grass sprouts after a rain, but it was actually bare, like new soil that had just been moved and had not yet blended with the surrounding soil.

Without digging tools, Yi Jie had no choice but to dig with her hands. The wet yellow mud on her hands made her feel uncomfortable. After digging about 20 centimeters down, a dark stone slab suddenly appeared in front of her!

Taking a deep breath, Yi Jie picked up the tool hammer and lifted the stone slab.

It was pitch black inside. Yi Jie pointed her flashlight inside and saw a rope ladder hanging under the stone slab. She climbed down the ladder and looked around. This... turned out to be an unused air-raid shelter!

The road in front of her, whose end cannot be seen with the naked eye, may be the path to Owen's final base. Yi Jie is not brave enough to act rashly, as she cannot defeat four hands with two fists. The other party is well prepared and has a plan, and what they are planning must be something complicated. Going there alone would be courting death.

Moreover, the mud on the stone slab had already been laid when Yi Jie and her friends arrived in the afternoon, which meant that there was a third person in the alley at that time. That was why there was a secret door leading to the house, because the accomplice was hiding in the house waiting for Owen to cover him.

There were still three hours before the Stasis Perfume would wear off, so Yi Jie climbed out of the air-raid shelter and filled the hole. She returned home, washed and changed into clean clothes, and hurried out to the old town, just as the Stasis Perfume wore off.

"This area is sealed off. Anyone outside please stay away!" The police officer standing guard in front of the seal stopped Yi Jie from moving forward.

"Please help me find Officer Ge. I have some clues to report to him."

The police officer looked Yi Jie up and down and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her. He took out his pager and informed Officer Ge of the news.

"Wait here, Captain Ge will be here soon."

"OK, thanks."

Yi Jie stood outside for about ten minutes, and Officer Ge ran towards her, sweating profusely.

"I guessed it was you. Didn't I tell you to go home and wait for news?" Officer Ge strongly disapproved of Yi Jie's action of running over in the middle of the night.

Yi Jie showed the hammer and pepper in her arms and said, "I'm being cautious. I came here to report a clue."

"Oh? What clues? I haven't seen Owen in that area for a long time."

"You come with me."

Yi Jie took Officer Ge into the alley.

"When I went home today, I kept thinking that Owen and the others would never be able to escape from this alley. If they really went through the secret room to get to the house, the two of them would have been so conspicuous when they left the house that there wouldn't be any news until now. Is it possible that there is more than one secret passage here?"

Officer Ge hesitated for a moment and then rejected the idea: "It's impossible. We searched the entire alley, and even almost opened up the cracks in the wall, but there is no trace of a second secret passage."

Yi Jie paused for a moment and said softly, "What about underground?"

This sentence was like a wake-up call, which opened Officer Ge's mind. "You are right. We all overlooked that there may be secret passages underground."

He pressed the pager button: "Everyone from team one and team two, gather here in the alley. We've found something!"

Other police officers arrived quickly and launched a new round of exploration of the land in the alley.

"There's something unusual about this land!"

Everyone immediately put down their work and rushed to the police who had made the discovery. Yi Jie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was the land on the stone slab.

After observing the situation again and again, Officer Ge waved to everyone and said, "Start digging!"

With the tools at hand, it only took a few shovels to expose the stone slab. Everyone looked solemn, it seemed that they had found the right one this time.

Officer Ge lifted the stone slab and found it was dark inside. He asked someone to send a batch of headlamps and gave one to each person. He wanted to ask Yi Jie to wait for news up there, but the little girl refused to leave and repeatedly assured that she could protect herself. She ran faster than anyone else when she encountered danger. When he met her clear and lively eyes, Officer Ge, who was a daughter slave, surrendered.

"Follow me closely!" Officer Ge threw a headlamp to Yi Jie and instructed.

"Okay!" Yi Jie quickly put on her headlamp and stood behind Officer Ge.

Everyone descended the rope ladder one after another, maintaining a state of full martial law and walking along the long path in front of the air-raid shelter.

After walking about a few hundred meters, a fork appeared.

"Boss, where are we going?" the police officer asked Officer Ge.

"Team one takes the path on the left, I'll lead the team, team two takes the path on the right, Gangzi will lead the team, keep in touch at all times, and retreat immediately if the risk factor is too high."

"Yes!" A man with a determined face stepped out and answered. It seemed that he was Gangzi.

The two teams acted separately, and Yi Jie naturally followed Officer Ge. The road became narrower and narrower, and in the end it could only accommodate two people walking side by side.

"Attention! There is light ahead."

Everyone gripped their guns a little tighter.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a wooden door with two kerosene lamps hanging on both sides. The door was locked, so the policeman who was good at unlocking went forward and fiddled with it a few times and opened it.

"Squeak," the door was pushed open.

It was a run-down house with black walls and peeling paint. There were a lot of miscellaneous things piled up inside, and there was a short staircase in the corner of the room. Everyone knew that this was the basement.

"This should be the basement of Shengyang Brick Factory." Yi Jie pointed to the mold and cutting machine in the corner.

"Just now I was remembering the way we came here. It was in the opposite direction of the alley. It took about 20 minutes to walk. According to the walking speed, we are still not out of the old city. Combined with the things piled in the basement, it is very likely that we are at Shengyang Brick Factory."

Officer Ge looked at Yi Jie with approval: "Xiao Jie is right, it seems that Shengyang Brick Factory is hiding a big secret!"

The boss who committed suicide by taking poison a few years later did not necessarily commit suicide, it is also possible that he was murdered. Yi Jie thought of this matter.

"Boss, I'll go check it out." It was the young policeman who came to Yi Jie's house with Officer Ge to catch the thief last time.

"Go."

I saw him climb up the stairs, squat on the steps, gently lift up a little bit of the basement door, take a look around and then put it down.

"The workshop above is a brick factory. No dangerous people have been found so far."

"Okay, then we'll go up in batches."

The big guy climbed out of the basement quietly, and what appeared before his eyes were large piles of bricks and a brick kiln, but no human figures were seen.

After checking everywhere and finding nothing unusual, they were planning to search other places in the brick factory.

"Ah!" The woman's shrill scream made everyone shudder.

Yi Jie grabbed Captain Ge in fear and said, "It's Tian Yucheng's voice!"

Oh no! We have to find her quickly!
