Lin Qiye sat in his seat, glancing at Jiang Shiyuan with some confusion. He felt that Jiang Shiyuan was a little unhappy, but the girl was clearly smiling.

Indeed, the most difficult subject to understand in this world is girls.

When school ended in the afternoon, Lin Qiye and Jiang Shiyuan walked down the teaching building side by side. As they were about to leave the school gate, Lin Qiye turned to look at Jiang Shiyuan and said, "I have withdrawn from school because of some things, so I won't be coming to school tomorrow."

"Thank you for both times."

He shouldn't have come to school today. Squad 136 would have handled his withdrawal. But he thought that Jiang Shiyuan had saved him twice, so he should thank her in person. He could also tell Jiang Shiyuan that he had covered up what happened last night and that the Night Watch wouldn't find her.

"Didn't you already thank me? Don't worry about it, I believe we'll meet again someday."

Jiang Shiyuan left without hesitation. In her view, she and Lin Qiye would soon meet again because of the Nanduo snake demon.

Hearing Jiang Shiyuan's words, Lin Qiye smiled helplessly, "Then goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."

Lin Qiye stood there, watching Jiang Shiyuan leave. This road...

"I wonder if Auntie received the letter yet."

Lin Qiye should have taken this route home, but now, he sighed and turned to walk towards Hongying's house.

He was afraid that he would regret joining the Night's Watch as soon as he got home.

The two parted ways at the school gate, walking away in opposite directions with their backs to each other.

……

In the days that followed, Jiang Shiyuan studied diligently every day, putting all her energy into her studies. Seeing her studying so hard every day, Li Yifei couldn't help but wail, "Jiang Shiyuan, why are you working so hard lately? Is it because Lin Qiye left that you're channeling your grief and anger into studying? Please, stop pushing yourself!"

Jiang Shiyuan rolled her eyes, no longer intimidated, and regardless of whether Li Yifei was a Nanduo snake demon, she went up and gave him a light punch.

Her movements were very light, without any force. She was afraid that a light punch would bring out Li Yifei's other personality. Well, at most, it could only be considered a little cowardly. She was afraid of ruining her image, so she added another sentence.

"How can you sleep with grades like this? Study! Study like crazy!"

Li Yifei left wailing, and Jiang Shiyuan turned her head, feeling a little guilty.

Actually, she studied so hard because she was always thinking about how to kill the mystery, get points, and fantasize about how she would dominate the world and show off in the future. This caused her to toss and turn every night and not be able to sleep. She thought she could distract herself by studying, but she didn't expect to become the top student in the class.

After several quizzes, I made great progress and was praised by the teacher repeatedly.

Ah, is this the loneliness of the strong?

After a day of intense competition, the school bell rang, sounding especially beautiful and melodious. Jiang Shiyuan packed her things, not forgetting to tell Jiang Qian to wait for her and go home together later.

"When have I ever not waited for you? Do you think I'd run away?"

Jiang Qian felt that Jiang Shiyuan had been particularly clingy to her lately, but thinking about it, it made sense. Not to mention Jiang Shiyuan, she herself was still scared. Jiang Shiyuan was probably just pretending to be strong when she comforted her last time, but she was actually very scared. It was normal for her to be clingy because of her fear.

Moreover, she and Jiang Shiyuan had encountered the masked man together and had gone through life and death together. Jiang Shiyuan was afraid, and she should do something too. With this thought in mind, the two became more and more inseparable.

If Jiang Shiyuan knew what Jiang Qian was thinking, he would sincerely say, "You're overthinking it."

She was purely because there was a powerful weapon in the class named Li Yifei. The Nanduo snake demon loved to cause trouble for people who were alone. Once someone was alone, she would bite them off. She and Jiang Qian were inseparable, protecting not only herself but also Jiang Qian.

Now, the thought that some of the students sitting in the class might be completely inhuman gives Jiang Shiyuan goosebumps.

After a day of studying, a murder occurred near the school, and the students were too afraid to linger. They quickly left the school. Li Yifei followed a few close classmates down the teaching building.

As dusk fell, the clouds on the horizon reflected the magnificent afterglow, which spread throughout the campus. It was a beautiful scene. Li Yifei looked at the golden light reflected in the corridor and felt somewhat dazed for some reason, as if there was something important he needed to do.

What's the matter?

He stopped, as if suddenly remembering something: "I knew it! I forgot my homework!"

On a path not far from the school.

Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Qian were walking on the road, and the intersection ahead was where they would part ways.

As they approached the intersection, Jiang Qian's expression grew increasingly stiff. To distract herself, she linked arms with Jiang Shiyuan and complained about the excessive amount of homework assigned by the teacher.

"After you finish your homework tonight, let's check the questions together. You were lazy yesterday and got several questions wrong." Thinking about the upcoming separation from Jiang Shiyuan, Jiang Qian felt like she was about to break, her voice trembling.

"If you're so scared, why don't we take another route?" Jiang Shiyuan asked with some concern.

"N-nothing! It'll take another twenty minutes to get here, and it's not good to linger outside. It's been so long already, and lots of people pass through here every day, which proves it's safe. I'm going now. Remember to check my answers with me." Jiang Qian's voice trembled at the end, but she firmly let go of Jiang Shiyuan, mustered her courage, stretched her body, and prepared to pass through the alley as quickly as possible.

"Okay, I'll send you a message once I'm done writing," Jiang Shiyuan assured him.

Jiang Qian took a running start...

"Jiang Shiyuan! Jiang Qian! Wait for me! Aaaaaaahhhhhh~"

Li Yifei's call interrupted the conversation between Jiang Qian and Jiang Shiyuan.

Jiang Qian's heart stopped, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Why are you yelling and making such a fuss? I'm still scared of what happened that day, I can't handle any more shocks!" Jiang Qian glared at Li Yifei, waiting with disdain for him to catch up, panting, before giving him a hard slap on the shoulder.

Li Yifei didn't have time to reply; he trembled as he told the two what he had just seen in the teaching building.

"What? You encountered a monster again?!" Jiang Qian's voice almost cracked.

Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Qian exchanged a glance. The fear of facing the monster had not yet dissipated, and a new storm had already appeared.

"Tell me the whole story," Jiang Shiyuan said calmly, holding Jiang Qian's cold hand.

Li Yifei immediately explained that he had returned to the classroom to get his homework, only to find that Liu Xiaoyan had eaten the head teacher, and then Liu Xiaoyan had spat the head teacher out. The two then smiled at each other.

Li Yifei's narrative skills are decent; he creates vivid imagery that instantly makes people lose their sense of self-esteem.

Jiang Qian's face was pale, but she didn't doubt Li Yifei's words. Because she had seen a monster, her fear was stronger than that of ordinary people. She hugged Jiang Shiyuan tightly to keep herself from collapsing to the ground. "We still have to go to school tomorrow. There's such a terrifying being in our class..."

"We've encountered this twice in such a short period of time. Our teacher said that Daxia might be the last survivor in the world. Now, is the end of the world coming?"

Jiang Shiyuan remained silent. In fact, the end of the world had already come. It was the sacrifice of the gods of the Great Xia that brought about the isolated island of Great Xia. In daily life, danger never just happens. Rather, it is a group of people who use themselves as weapons to shield ordinary people from the dark side of this world.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you.

This is not just a passage of text; it represents vibrant lives and broken families.

Jiang Shiyuan, supporting Jiang Qian, asked Li Yifei, "So what should we do now?"

Li Yifei said, "Let's call the people who made us sign the confidentiality agreement that day; I've saved their numbers."

Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Qian had both met the Ghost Face King and signed an agreement before. If they were to encounter the mysterious man again, bringing them along would increase the credibility of the encounter and make Li Yifei's behavior of encountering the mysterious man twice seem less abrupt.

Jiang Shiyuan supported Jiang Qian, nodding in agreement as if she thought Li Yifei's words made a lot of sense.

The minority obeys the majority, and besides, Jiang Qian is currently completely lost, so naturally she will do whatever Jiang Shiyuan and Li Yifei say.

Jiang Shiyuan watched Li Yifei make a phone call, and a subtle feeling welled up inside her.

Does this mean I called the police to arrest myself?

After Li Yifei finished making the call, the three of them looked at each other and fell silent.

In the somber atmosphere, a car pulled up in front of them, and the person in the driver's seat was Hongying. "You were the ones who made that phone call just now, right? My name is Hongying, and I'm here to pick you up. Please get in the car."

Li Yifei's eyes lit up, and he got into the car first, with Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Qian following silently behind him.

The car drove towards the Peace Office.

Upon arrival, everyone got off the bus together, and Hongying pushed open the door of the Peace Agency.

"come in."

Jiang Qian stopped in front of the Peace Agency, looked at the wedding company on her left, then at the funeral home on her right, and then at the inconspicuous Peace Agency in the middle, hesitating in place.

Jiang Shiyuan looked around the Peace Agency's entrance with interest for a while, and was about to follow Hongying inside when Jiang Qian grabbed her and whispered, "Is this place really an official organization? It looks so unreliable..."

Although it may seem unreliable, it is actually quite reliable.

Jiang Shiyuan pulled her inside, saying, "This is probably what they mean by 'the truly wise live in seclusion in the city.' That's how it's written in novels. Li Yifei has already gone in, so let's go in quickly too."

As if she had been abducted, Jiang Qian tried to grab the door frame as she entered the office. She missed the frame and instead pulled down a leaf from a wreath placed at the entrance of the funeral parlor next door. Startled, she immediately let go, and the leaf fell to the ground. She was reluctantly dragged into the Peace Office.

After everyone settled down on the sofa, Li Yifei recounted what he had seen that day.

After listening to Li Yifei's words, Hongying frowned deeply and took a deep breath.

"You can stay here for today. We'll call a meeting tomorrow and see how to resolve this then."

To protect Jiang Shiyuan and the other two, they were kept at the Peace Agency for one night. Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Qian, both girls, were assigned to the same room.

Two girls lay side by side on the bed, Jiang Qian clutching the blanket.

"Shi Yuan, do you think they can solve this..."

"Certainly possible."
