Chapter 262, Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-One: Strange Comics

To Ling Yanshi's surprise, although Christie seemed quite irritable and impatient, she did not blame Linxi Bridge.

The only harsh word Christie uttered was, "Bridge by the creek, it's you again!"

Compared to the horrific incident at Linxi Bridge that severely injured students and teachers and destroyed an entire school building, this can be considered a relatively lenient punishment.

Ji Pu remained at the scene, contacting people to collect the wreckage and comfort the victims.

Yan Shi then returned to the principal's office with Christie.

Linxi Bridge followed behind, looking utterly dejected.

In the principal's office, the doomed bear that Yan Shi had given to Christie was still on the table.

Yan Shi took a step back without making a sound.

She estimated that it had been half an hour since she took off the Doom Bear tie, and the Doom Bear was starting to take effect.

Christie strode ahead, picked up the bag on the table, placed it beside her feet, then sat down and took a sip of tea.

Her usually cold and hard expression softened slightly: "Linxi Bridge."

“I’m here.” Linxi Bridge looked utterly dejected. “I’m sorry, Christie,” she said, hanging her head in dejection. “I should have controlled myself.”

Christie shook her head: "You know I'm not blaming you."

“If you think the world is wrong,” she said calmly, “what you need to do is conquer the world and change the people who make the rules.”

"Instead of being bound by rules and raging in a powerless frenzy against the weak."

Christie took another sip of tea and leaned back in her chair. "You're very capable. You can change things..." Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly fell backward.

A loud bang.

The metal support tube in the center of the chair back broke, and before Christie could react, she and the chair had fallen backward to the ground.

The sharp cuts tore through her skin, and her beautiful curly hair got tangled in the seams of the steel frame, making her expression extremely distorted for a moment.

Linxi Bridge: "Christie?" She was stunned for a moment, standing there staring at Christie sitting on the ground.

The bad luck bear worked.

Yan Shi couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.

“Ms. Yan, come back tomorrow to complete your onboarding procedures.” She said as she used her magic to untangle her hair from the rack. “As for Linxi Bridge, write a self-criticism and read it aloud at the flag-raising ceremony on Monday.”

Yan Shi smiled slightly: "Yes."

She left the office behind the Linxi Bridge, considerately leaving the door ajar.

“Linxi Bridge,” Yan Shi said as he walked downstairs with her, turning his head to look at her profile. “Now you should believe I’m the new teacher, right?”

Linxi Bridge kept its head down and remained silent.

“It’s such a pity,” Yan Shi shrugged. “The onboarding process wasn’t finished yet, so I couldn’t be there to watch your debating performance that swept the entire room.”

Linxiqiao twitched the corner of her mouth: "There will be opportunities in the future."

As they spoke, they reached the ground floor of the office building. Linxiqiao stopped and said, "Teacher, I have to go back to class. Goodbye."

After saying that, she disappeared into the crowd as usual.

The sun is setting in the west.

Yan Shi pondered for a moment and decided to eat first.

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

She went back to the library.

The enforcement team had changed positions and sat near the entrance of the second-floor reading room, watching the doorway warily.

After learning that they were not cosplayers but real official law enforcement officers, the tourists and some unsuspecting students present visibly calmed down.

Yu was quietly sharing her excitement with a few students.

"Aaaaaaah!" she exclaimed, covering her mouth. "I actually managed to talk to Director Yan, and we even traveled together all the way!"

"My God, I was just saying she looks exactly like Director Yan from the comics. It's really hard to believe that someone like Director Yan actually exists."

Someone responded quietly, "Yes!! I feel safe as soon as I see Director Yan. Director Yan will solve all the problems."

"How could anyone not fall in love with Director Yan! How could anyone not fall in love with Director Yan!"

Yu said hesitantly, "You guys think I can ask Director Yan about her name?"

She slowly curled her hands up. "I think Director Yan should have a name that is cherished, just like Yan Lan's. Always calling him Director Yan is too formulaic."

Yu really wanted to know.

If Yan Ju is a real person, then the countless gods in the comics are also real people.

Yu wants to wish that next time she makes a wish, she can have fewer things to worry about and be as carefree and happy as she was in her youth.

Yan Shi pushed open the door and entered the reading room.

The enforcement team at the door immediately stood up: "Director Yan."

Yan Shi nodded: "What are you having for dinner?"

She figured that with so many people trapped in the old town of Tonghai for almost half a month, their food problem should have been solved by now.

"We'll take turns eating outside the school," the enforcement team said. "There are some small restaurants in the old town. Some of them have Wi-Fi and you can pay by scanning a QR code."

Yan Shi: ...

A good, modern solution.

She nodded: "Okay, I'm going to eat too, let's have the first group together."

Yu was clearly quite familiar with the old town. Knowing that Yan Shi would also be having dinner with them, she even inquired about Yan Shi's preferences beforehand.

"Either is fine," Yan Shi said calmly. "You can just do what you usually do."

"It's convenient for both of us!" You was a little nervous, and kept secretly glancing at Yan Shi.

Yan Shi: "Then you can choose."

Yuu eventually took Yan Shi to a ramen restaurant.

She had already scanned the QR code and opened the menu with great familiarity, then held the phone out to Yan Shi with both hands: "Director Yan, please take a look, is there anything to your liking?"

Yan Shi, on the other hand, was focused on connecting to Wi-Fi.

As soon as the phone connected to the signal, a bunch of pop-up windows appeared in the notification bar.

I can actually receive messages normally?!

Yan Shi pulled down the notification bar with some surprise, only to find that the messages were all sent by the same app.

Strange comics.

The message indicated a network connection failure.

Seeing that Yan was checking the network, You took a step back, avoiding her gaze from her phone screen, and said, "Director Yan, the Wi-Fi here can only access a limited number of apps, but it can still open payment applications."

"The software I opened all displayed brand new content."

Yan Shi: "Do you know what software this can open?"

“Uh,” Yu hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes, “Qiman.”

“You might not know this,” she said, her face flushed, “it’s a comic book app. It has comics where you play a supporting character, though you can’t see them now.” Her voice trailed off.

"Besides Qiman, we haven't found any other software that can connect to the internet yet."

Seeing Yan Shi looking thoughtful, You continued, "The app store doesn't accept software downloads. Could you try using my phone?"

Yan Shi closed the pop-up window on Qiman: "No need, I understand the situation."

Looking at her thoughtful, bright eyes, she kept a straight expression: "Let's order food first."

While waiting for the food to be served, Yan Shi casually took out his phone again.

She glanced around the room to make sure she was sitting alone on the inner side, where no one could see her screen, and then quietly opened Qiman.

She wanted to see for herself what all this new content was.

The overall layout of Qiman's software remains unchanged, except that the central recommendation spot on the homepage, which used to belong to "The Curse of the Law" for many years, has been replaced with a new comic.

Yan Shi's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

The comic book cover features a very familiar scene.

Broken bricks, fallen trees, and wounded people lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

Amidst the chaos, stood a girl with black hair and black eyes, calmly staring at the three people in front of her.

The three people in front of her are all drawn from behind, blurry yet recognizable.

One of them had his hair tied up high with a jade hairpin and was wearing a familiar uniform from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

Yan Shi: ?

She glanced at it again, looking suspicious.

This scene looks like it just happened this afternoon.

The main character, the black-haired girl, is Linxiqiao. She looks exactly the same as Yanshi. The person in the back view is obviously Yanshi himself.

But the expression on Linxi Bridge was completely different from that in the afternoon.

When Yanshi arrived in the afternoon, Linxiqiao looked helpless and was on the verge of tears.

They were completely in a state of "I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, what should I do?"

What's with this calm reaction on the cover?
