Chapter 92

After school started, with the start of a new round of review, the sense of urgency of senior year was so clearly displayed to the new senior class for the first time.

There are countless homework assignments and endless test papers to complete. The frequency is extremely high. Almost as soon as the report card is released, the next round of examinations will begin...

With the pressure piling up, even several young CPA members who were accustomed to dealing with both their studies and CPA affairs at the same time found themselves unable to hold on.

"I really can't hold on any longer."

The golden light of the setting sun hung in the sky, and the tiny branches filtered through the glass and into the room, reflecting the lush greenery outside on the polished floor tiles.

At dinner time, the Supernatural Society gathered in the old club meeting room as usual. Zheng Qiuji was the first one who couldn't hold it in anymore. He stopped eating fried chicken and drinking happy water, and his expression looked like he was wailing.

"I was so stupid. I only knew that senior high school students were busy, but I didn't know they were so busy. Who would have thought that I would see a resentful spirit outside the examination room during the exam? I went to the bathroom three times during that exam! The teacher almost suspected that I went out to cheat!"

"Who isn't?"

Chu Zhongyuan no longer had his usual playful smile on his face, and there was a darkness under his eyes.

"I was doing homework until the early hours of the morning last night. Just when I was about to go to sleep, the Soul-Catching Rope told me that a spirit was passing through the dormitory building. I spent a long time trying to catch that guy and finally used the Soul-Catching Rope to liberate him. Now I'm so sleepy..."

Chu Zhongyuan yawned when he said this, wiped his mouth, and then tilted his head to rest on the shoulder of Gu Qingming, an old cadre who was drinking water quietly beside him.

Gu Qingming's mental state is as stable as a capybara. He would never say that because he does not live on campus, he encounters more sudden supernatural events that need to be handled by CPA specialists.

After a few people had complained about their inner misery, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly fell into an extremely strange silence.

In the dry silence, only the autumn cicadas are still calling weakly, like the shadow left by the summer that will never pass.

"... Is Ceobe still not moving?"

Luo Dong's voice was truly terrifying. Gu Qingming put down the thermos cup of soaked wolfberries and shook his head.

"When we went to the Snowy Holy Tomb, the boss was not his real body. The other high-level officials suffered heavy losses, and countless subordinates were captured. Even if the boss was not human, it is impossible that he would not give himself some time to recuperate."

Gu Qingming lowered his beautiful dark brown eyes and closed them, as if giving himself courage.

"After all... that bastard was so shameless that he wanted to meet Teacher Cao in the underworld."

"Three of the five great talismans are in the hands of CPA, so the dominant power is naturally in the hands of CPA. After all, the leader even found a substitute for the wooden talisman. I don't know where their confidence comes from."

Chu Zhongyuan, the large pendant that was clinging to Gu Qingming, woke up from a short sleep and rubbed his eyebrows.

No matter what, he and Gu Qingming were just ordinary high school students. Suddenly, they were associated with the underworld, the Nine Abysses Gate, and other high-sounding terms. He was not as relaxed as he looked.

"...You guys, you have become the center of the incident..."

Zheng Qiuji didn't say it very clearly, but everyone present knew what he meant.

On the snowy plateau, as soon as they left the secret realm and returned to the CPA base, Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan told their two companions the information they knew, including the relationship between Bai Ke Lan, Jiuyou Mirror and Jiuyuan Gate, Bai Ke Xianjun, and Jiuyou Jun.

They are a group of CPA teenagers who work together on any task, and everyone has the right to know what happens.

When it was said that the source of the Nine Nether Mirror was an evil ghost in the Nine Abyss Gate, Chu Zhongyuan looked relaxed, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. However, the most terrible situation had been destroyed by Gu Qingming's actual actions, and he made himself fully prepared to face any reaction from his two friends.

But Zheng Qiuji is still the same Zheng Qiuji, and Luo Dong is still the same Luo Dong.

Zheng Qiuji: "Thank goodness you just inherited superpowers, otherwise I can't imagine how dark and sunny you would be if Chu Zhongyuan were the ghost king."

Luo Dong: "Ah? That's amazing!"

Chu Zhongyuan was forced to do the same forehead-holding gesture as Gu Qingming. He shouldn't have had any extra worries about these two guys.

"How is it? Are you relieved?"

Chu Zhongyuan still remembers that Gu Qingming gently bumped into his shoulder and winked playfully. The handsome boy had slightly messy hair and looked extra dazzling as he was intoxicated by the sunshine in the breeze.

It seems that no matter when Gu Qingming appears, the impression left in his mind is extremely deep and dazzling.

After all, that's what love is.

Chu Zhongyuan thought.

"It's really unimaginable. If I knew that I, a freshman in high school, was thinking about how to help my friends fill the hole in the underworld, I would definitely think I was a lunatic."

Luo Dong supported his head with his hands and sighed.

"However, the protagonist is the center of the incident. Don't worry, the protagonist will be fine."

Luo Dong changed the subject and snapped his fingers.

"With me, Zheng Qiuji, Boss Cao, and Uncle Lu here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Luo Dong said this and believed it.

He is a pure person who is always consistent in his inner and outer qualities. Hearing this, Gu Qingming, who was inevitably in a heavy mood, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yes, we will win!"

“We will win!”

The four hands were put together, suddenly raised upwards, and then fell together, as if they were each other's final destination.

"Okay, okay, we've talked about so much heavy stuff, let's look at something happy."

Zheng Qiuji took out a blue booklet from his schoolbag, on which was written all matters related to the Lantai No. 1 Middle School sports meet.

"...Are you sure this year's sports meet can still be considered a happy event?"

Chu Zhongyuan's fingers trembled a little as he asked suspiciously.

Because there was a problem with the playground during last year's sports meet, the sports meet in the first semester of the second year of high school was postponed to the first semester of the third year of high school. However, Zhang Yiwei never let students take advantage of him for no reason. He looked at the two very close sports meet times, waved his hand, and suggested to the decision-makers that the two ceremonies be merged together.

"It's called double happiness."

Lin Ze and his companions who had overheard the gossip were gritting their teeth in hatred, and even grimaced when they passed the message, not to mention those who were listening to the news.

Chu Zhongyuan felt like he had lost out a lot when he thought about the fact that he had missed out on a year of sports meets compared to other students for no reason.

"Well... at least there's no classes during the sports day?"

Zheng Qiuji touched his nose, knowing that his skill in changing the subject was a bit poor, but at least Chu Zhongyuan and Gu Qingming's attention was diverted to the sports meeting to be held in two weeks, and they were no longer burdened with the heavy responsibility of fighting and destroying Ceobe all the time.

"I probably won't be able to add any events this year, after all, I have to work at the radio station."

Chu Zhongyuan frowned when he thought of this. He was a member of the school radio station. According to the schedule, he would be the one to handle the work during the sports meeting, but he didn't have to read the script on the radio station.

"So we have someone in the radio station?"

Gu Qingming blinked and made a rare joke.

"Of course, there are people, really big ones. Just send me any weird manuscripts you write and I promise to read them all."

Chu Zhongyuan showed a wicked smile before playing a prank. Although he said, "You guys," his eyes were fixed on Gu Qingming without moving.

He hasn't even started working yet, but he's already started bending the law for personal gain, which made Zheng Qiuji keep muttering things like, "In broad daylight" and "I wish Chu Zhongyuan will never be in leadership in this life."

“Crack—”

The door bearings of the conference room door, which had not been opened much for a whole summer vacation, were a little rusty, and made a strange and harsh sound when it was pushed open.

The four high school students who were chatting and laughing suddenly became like robots with a switch pressed. They stood still and stopped talking.

"Hey guys, I was wondering why I couldn't find you guys. Turns out you were secretly ordering takeout here. Come on, give me a bite."

Cao Sheng pushed the door open and walked in. His hair was very messy. He just casually combed it with his fingers a few times, making it barely passable, and then left it alone. He looked tired.

As a math teacher and a CPA monarch-level psychic, and the main person in charge of the Ceob incident, Cao Sheng was writing lesson plans, holding meetings, training, giving open classes, and managing students, while also dealing with the CPA Association's Ceob-related reports, which were so complicated that they were not as complicated as all the red tapes put together. He looked very much like Chu Zhongyuan just now, extremely sleepy.

But he quickly recovered his spirits because as soon as he entered the door, he saw four high school students enjoying ordering various delicious takeouts.

"Boss Cao...you scared us to death..."

Chu Zhongyuan cried out and almost slipped off the chair as if he had no bones. Just now, Cao Sheng suddenly pushed open the door, and the first reaction of the people who came in randomly was that he was the most terrifying person for the senior students of Lantai No. 1 Middle School.

Several high school students were so frightened that they trembled, thinking that the dean of studies, Zhang Yiwei, had shown up in an unusual way, and they wanted to run away.

After all, no one wants to start writing an 800-word self-review just half a month after school starts, and no one wants to take that risk.

"How is the frequency of exams recently? Are you used to it?"

Cao Sheng came over and took two pieces of fried chicken. The fried chicken was still steaming hot and topped with honey mustard sauce and salad dressing. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. After taking a bite, the monarch-level psychic even felt that his day's fatigue was cured.

"I can't adapt at all—"

Apart from Gu Qingming, there was a continuous wailing. However, Cao Sheng never bought into this. He took another chicken nugget and stuffed it into his mouth. Before swallowing it, he smiled and said, "Really? But your grades don't look like this!"

Looking at the students who seemed to be hit hard and wanted to cry but had no tears, Cao Sheng said with some amusement: "Okay, okay, after all, you are also senior high school students, and the college entrance examination is not far away. It is for the future to prepare early. I will continue to work, you study hard, but don't forget to rest."

After looking at the students and eating a few pieces of fried chicken, he seemed to have the energy to work again. He stood up, picked up a few pieces of fried food, ate them and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Teacher Cao, won't you take a break?"

Seeing Cao Sheng’s tired look, Gu Qingming tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, there's still a lot of work to do."

Cao Sheng waved his hand, and just as he turned around, the door of the conference room behind him was suddenly pushed open.

The terrifying face of Zhang Yiwei, the most evil director of the third grade of Lantai No. 1 Middle School, appeared in front of everyone. Cao Sheng still had a chicken nugget in his mouth, and the four high school students had milk tea and various things in their hands. They were so full of energy that Zhang Yiwei's eyes widened.

I'm afraid he didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to bring take-out food in the teaching building, and such a large amount at a little bit, and no one knew how it was delivered.

If Chu Zhongyuan knew Zhang Yiwei's psychological activities, he would definitely add: "Superpowers, it's amazing, right?"

He almost wanted to teleport away just now.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze, and only Cao Sheng tremblingly raised the popcorn cup in his hand to the other party.

"Hey, Director Zhang, would you like some?"

Looking at Zhang Yiwei at the door, Cao Sheng said awkwardly but politely.
