Chapter 16

Gu Qingming looked at Lin Ze and Li Zhiwei who had fallen behind him, and saw that the black paper figures on the two boys' chests had faded to the point where they could not be seen clearly.

"Boss Cao! No, Teacher Cao!"

Zheng Qiuji's excited voice rang out, and Gu Qingming hurriedly turned around, only to see that the twisted black and red cracks had torn open the space in front of the old dormitory building, revealing a bright red cliff inside that looked like magma flowing.

On the distant cliff, a shadow was walking towards them.

As he walked, the bright red road continued to close, until the shadow walked out of the crack that tore the space and stood in front of them.

Although he had expected this because of Zheng Qiuji's words, when the figure really stood in front of him, Gu Qingming still felt a little unbelievable, as if he was in a dream.

The figure was none other than Cao Sheng, who was carrying the bag he had carried when he left the classroom last night. His clothes were covered in dust, and he looked even more exhausted than Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan, who had rolled on the ground several times. His hair was all messy, as if he had not gone home all night and had stayed in the old dormitory building.

However, Cao Sheng still smiled brightly, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than controlling a tiny mayfly to him.

"I'm really sorry for scaring you recently."

Cao Sheng bowed slightly and expressed his apologies to the four students in front of him.

"But this is also a rare experience, well, anyway——"

He deliberately dragged out the tone, stared into Gu Qingming's eyes, and spoke in a long voice.

"Welcome to the world of EN - welcome to the inside world."

This sentence was like an unknown code that opened an invisible door. In an instant, it was as if the camera was zoomed out. The sky was high and the earth was far away. The slowly moving white clouds and the gray-blue sky seemed to be shocked.

"How could it be...Cao Sheng?!"

In a corner of the campus that no one noticed, a black figure supported his chin and exclaimed in disbelief.

In the dark world where mystery prevails, everything can be classified as a commodity to be bought and sold. Even high-quality grudges will be sold at a huge price by inhumane people on the dark web.

The Psychic Guild, one of the three largest Psychic organizations in the world, has always wanted to eradicate it. Unfortunately, where there is desire, there will be transactions, and this black industry chain has always been difficult to stop.

The luck-changing ritual was very effective, successfully using the consciousness of the young students of Lantai No. 1 Middle School to refine negative emotions into higher-quality resentment. The figure saw that the employer's bounty commission was about to be completed, but the high-level member of the psychic guild who intervened abruptly used the EN technology specially used by the guild to resolve resentment to uproot the resentment pillar he had planted in the old dormitory building.

Without the Pillar of Resentment, no matter how powerful the luck-changing ritual is, it will be useless. All the high-quality resentments he refined were stored in the Pillar of Resentment and dissipated along with the Pillar of Resentment.

Now, those resentments worth a thousand gold have disappeared into the atmosphere along with the purification of that "Teacher Cao".

The figure in the dark originally wanted to see who had disrupted his big order, but when he was peeking in the dark, he saw Cao Sheng's figure.

"Cao Sheng? A senior CPA from the Forbidden City...why would he appear in this tiny Lantai No. 1 Middle School?"

The figure in the dark thought for a moment, then laughed as if he had come up with a good idea.

In any case, this is valuable information.

The figure in the dark seemed to feel that the anger at the big order being ruined also disappeared at this moment.

"I don't know, what good price can I get for it?"

The figure became fainter and fainter, and with a light laugh, it completely disappeared like a ghost.

There was only a black three-headed dog pattern printed on the place where he had just stopped, as if indicating something.

"Report! We have arrived at the site of the EN fluctuation detection anomaly, on-site..."

After the figure disappeared, a sound of footsteps was heard, and a panting man in a black windbreaker quickly reported into the walkie-talkie in his hand.

[Sizzle - received, 1332 Lu Ze, please report the situation on the scene as soon as possible. ]

There was a crackling sound of electricity coming from the walkie-talkie. The person on the other end seemed to sense his comrade's strange pause and urged.

"There is only one black three-headed dog logo on the scene..."

The voice of the man in the black windbreaker gradually became weaker. Lu Ze looked at the black, ominous three-headed dog pattern, feeling as cold as if his body was sunk into the deep sea.

That is the logo of a shadowy organization that has been extremely active all over the world in recent years.

Cao Sheng's words brought a huge amount of information that attacked the brains of Gu Qingming and the other two. Before they could process this information, chaotic footsteps came from behind the Huiti Building, and it sounded like there was more than one.

Zhou Xiao, Zhang Yiwei, several teachers on duty, security personnel holding explosion-proof forks, and 120 medical staff in white coats rushed to the scene.

"How did you subdue them..."

A young male teacher at the side was a little surprised. You know, when he tried to stop a student in the same situation before, he was knocked to the ground by the other party's extraordinary strength.

Chu Zhongyuan: "They were beaten into submission. To be honest, they were weak."

Gu Qingming: “…”

Gu Qingming remained silent. While Chu Zhongyuan was diverting everyone's attention, he threw the last black fog mouse with a green wind ring in his hand into the trash can and crushed it.

The young male teacher on the side was so frightened that his eyes widened: "…Is this true?"

Even with the frenzy buff, he's still weak? Are all high school students so weak now?

Studying in high school is so tiring.

The spiky-haired boy with shoulder-length hair smiled brightly. The young male teacher had heard of Chu Zhongyuan's great name a long time ago, but did not dare to ask too much. After all, as long as nothing serious happened to the student, nothing else mattered.

Lin Ze and Li Zhiwei, who were completely unaware that their reputations were ruined, were hastily carried away on stretchers by medical staff. The subsequent events had nothing to do with any of the students. Zhang Yiwei, with a sour face, drove all the students present back to the teaching building for class.

Faced with the authority of the dean, even Cao Sheng could only awkwardly ask the four students to stay after school and meet in the office.

Back in the classroom, after the first class, He Song rushed over from the next class, looked at Gu Qingming nervously, and looked him up and down, and finally said:

"Are you okay?"

Gu Qingming: "...Did you pick up Liuliumegg?"

He Song rolled his eyes. "I am concerned about you, classmate Gu Qingming. I didn't expect that after such a long time, you still haven't changed your bad habit of being brave and righteous. When will your personality be in harmony with your harmless appearance..."

He Song couldn't help but recall his childhood friend. In junior high school, in order to save a drowning classmate, the friend pushed a bicycle into He Song's hands, and jumped across the three-meter-high bridge. He Song held a bicycle in each hand. He was scared to death at the time and was almost crushed to death by the two fallen bicycles. He was taken to the ambulance with the drowning person.

"Isn't that because I have this ability? Don't worry, I know everything."

Gu Qingming's voice was as weak as a mosquito that was stunned by mosquito coils.

Although some of his previous behaviors were a bit out of line, it was because his mother had beaten him since he was a child, which enabled him to develop good skills, so he was fearless.

He Song looked at Gu Qingming, who seemed kind and honest, and stroked his forehead with one hand:... I get it, let’s do it again next time, right?

In the end, he could only say bitterly: "You'd better know."

During class, although the teachers were trying to comfort the students, after experiencing something like this, who would still have the heart to attend class?

The students in Class 15 finished their morning classes in a daze. Before the school bell rang, they left the classroom one after another with the teacher's tacit consent.

What happened in the morning was too stimulating for these high school students who had just entered their second year of high school. The teachers wanted to let them have a good rest to avoid any psychological trauma.

Only Gu Qingming and three others went against the flow of people, tiptoeing towards the teachers' office at the end of the corridor.

"Coming?"

In the huge teachers' office on the first floor, Cao Sheng was the only one typing on the computer at his desk. The other teachers were probably rushing to the emergency meeting convened by Zhang Yiwei because of the recent incidents of student riots.

Cao Sheng saw four heads popping in like a string after he opened the office door. He laughed, covered the tablet computer casually, and stood up.

"Cao, Teacher Cao, we——"

Chu Zhongyuan gritted his teeth and spoke, but before he could say anything, Cao Sheng put his index finger in front of his lips and made a hushing gesture to him.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the club meeting room."

Gu Qingming and the other three looked at each other, then followed Cao Sheng, who was walking in front of them with a swagger, and went up to the club meeting room on the top floor of the Grade 12 teaching building.

There are five club meeting rooms in Lantai No. 1 Middle School, all located on the fifth floor of Huide Building, the second-year teaching building. They are usually used for club activities and are only used a handful of times each semester.

Relying on his teacher card, Cao Sheng swiped at the door and took a few students to an empty meeting room to sit down. His expression changed from being nonchalant to becoming much more calm.

"First, come here and get tested."

Cao Sheng took out a strange small instrument similar to a stapler from his pocket and placed it on the table in the conference room.

"Of course, don't worry about any questions. Let me introduce myself again. I'm Cao Sheng, your math teacher, but at the same time, I'm also a member of the East C District Chapter of the Psychics Association, or CPA for short."

Cao Sheng took out an exquisite certificate with a dust-proof film from another pocket.

The official seal of East C District is clearly visible above.

Gu Qingming and others realized that it was the highest level official seal that could only be seen on news programs.

This was also the document Cao Sheng showed when the police arrived.

With the appearance of this certificate, the most vigilant suspicion in everyone's heart was completely eliminated.

"Uh... Teacher Cao, do I still need to queue? I've already..."

Zheng Qiuji saw that the other three people no longer had any doubts because of their ID cards and instead lined up in front of the equipment. He pointed at himself and was a little hesitant.

Unlike the three classmates with special abilities who had just awakened, Zheng Qiuji had been exposed to this world much earlier than them, and the three words "CPA" had almost been integrated into his blood.

"Why, do you want to withdraw and add it again?"

Cao Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Qiuji with some amusement.

Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan lowered their eyes slightly, as if they realized the peculiarity of Zheng Qiuji.

The small stapler-like instrument generated reports very quickly. Cao Sheng borrowed the printer in the conference room and quickly handed three densely packed paper report certificates to Gu Qingming and the other two.

He turned around and sat down, and began to tell stories about the inside of the world that were unknown to most people.

Unnatural monsters like the one Gu Qingming and his friends had seen have always existed in this world, and since the birth of mankind, humans have been destined to fight against them.

The Guild of Superpowers, the Volunteer Association, and the Night Watcher Foundation are known as the three guardians of the mysterious world. They were established thousands of years ago. Since the birth of human civilization, various unnatural species and phenomena called "mysterious" by the Guild have been recorded in history. Most of them are not good, but affect the normal production and development of the human species.

The Guild of Superpowers is a professional official department that fights against these so-called "mysterious" beings.

"Mystery" often has special properties, and those who also have special properties and can cause harm to the mystery are also called: psychics.

"The superpower... is in our hands..."

Chu Zhongyuan waved the report in his hand, looking a little dazed.

"Yes, to be honest, these three students are the ones who have just awakened their superpowers."

Cao Sheng looked at him with a smile.

But he was not as relaxed as he appeared to be.

After all, the abilities awakened by these three students are not to be underestimated, and it is hard to say that the situation at Lantai No. 1 Middle School was not caused by human factors...

Cao Sheng lowered his eyes, hiding all his complicated emotions under a smile, and began to explain the abnormalities that had occurred on the campus of Lantai No. 1 Middle School in the past few days.

The huge column of black smoke they saw in the old dormitory building that morning was actually the physical embodiment of the resentment around them.

Cao Sheng had just been hastily transferred to Lantai City by the CPA Association, and he discovered that a layer of black smoke was lingering over the city. It was the evolution of people's negative emotions after being mysteriously contaminated.

"That's probably why Mr. Cao is so uninhibited when he first appears on stage."

Chu Zhongyuan whispered in Gu Qingming's ear.

Gu Qingming recalled the time when Cao Sheng first appeared, with messy hair and without having eaten, so he could only eat instant noodles in class, and nodded.
