Seven years ago, Mu Heqing graduated from a strange and eerie high school. Before graduation, she had a minor conflict with her classmates.
The cause and process of the conflict are not parti...

An airplane pierced the sky, and inside the cabin, several passengers kept glancing at a man.
The man had a face comparable to a top model, short, dark blond hair, deep green eyes, and an elusive, mysterious aura.
The intense gaze made the man uncomfortable; his moist, thin lips parted slightly, and a barely audible buzzing sound rang out.
“Mr. Archifa, I advise you not to do this,” the man in the suit sitting next to the man suddenly said.
The buzzing stopped, and the man gave up the idea of summoning the swarm. He turned to look at the man in the suit sitting next to him.
"Who are you?"
“My name is Lin Guo. If someone dies here, you will never see Mu and Qing again.”
"You know He Qing?" the man asked, intrigued.
A faint golden hue appeared in the cabin, shimmering and settling on the man in the suit.
"If I say yes, will you kill me?"
"Of course." The man nodded decisively. "Everyone I know and Qing must die."
…………
Mu and Qing sat in a chair and took a sip of red tea, while the strangely dressed young man stood to the side with his hands hanging down.
The young man stared with innocent eyes, feigning mystery. Mu and Qing asked him many questions, and he gave ambiguous answers that he himself didn't know were right or wrong.
Forget about finding out the principal's whereabouts from him; he himself has never even met Fa Jiuyi.
This young man is very likely an actor found by Lin Guo. He has a strong sense of conviction and insists on playing his role well, even if he doesn't know what he is acting.
For Mu and Qing, the principal was very mysterious. There were many things she didn't understand, such as why he put all the strange guys into No. 13 Middle School, what his abilities were, and why he had disappeared.
But she knew that the principal had many obedient subordinates, and she had met these subordinates at No. 13 Middle School.
Now, his subordinates are gone, leaving only a few counterfeiters occupying his territory.
The counterfeit goods boss had arranged a time with her, but failed to show up for a long time.
"If Mr. Lin hasn't arrived yet, I'll be leaving now." Mu Heqing, having grown tired of drinking red tea, said to the young man dressed as a door god standing by the door.
The young man tried to stop her. "Please wait a moment, the master will be back soon."
Mu and Qing had been waiting for almost an hour. She walked towards the door, already annoyed at returning to Ancheng, and now she was waiting here for a liar.
What, do you want to make her wait too long before you try to stir up her emotions?
She flung open the door, and a figure lunged at her.
It was Lin Guo.
Mu and Qing dodged in time, only to realize they had misunderstood. Lin Guo looked like he had rolled in the mud; his suit was tattered, and he leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
"Mr. Lin? What's wrong?"
Today we're not skimping on money here; we've lit a lot of candles, so Mu and Qing can see more clearly.
She only saw Lin Guo's appearance clearly today. He looked to be in his forties, with graying temples and sharp, upturned eyes. Even in such a disheveled state, he still managed to force a smile at Mu and Qing.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Are you really okay? You don't seem to be.
While Mu and Qing were still wondering, the door gods had already helped Lin Guo up.
"I ran into a little trouble, and I just wanted to let you know that I've got a lead on Lord Fa Jiuyi," Lin Guo said.
Mu and Qing didn't pay attention to what he was saying. The candlelight behind Lin Guo flickered, and tiny golden specks appeared in her vision.
What is this? It looks so familiar.
Could it be Archifa's bugs?
"Oh no, get out of the way!" Mu Heqing shouted.
The golden dots approached them.
Mu and Qing focused their eyes and saw clearly what the golden color was. Unlike the insects they had encountered at the Guihui Group last time, this insect was larger and faster.
How did Archie's bugs end up here?
"Miss He Qing, do you have a way to solve this?" Lin Guo also noticed the insects and asked anxiously.
"Aren't you the principal's servant? You should be able to use his abilities, right? Hurry up and finish it off!"
Mu and Qing hate insects and want to run away whenever they see one.
Lin Guo froze. "I..."
This man is a fraud, Mu and Qing realized; he shouldn't have the principal's abilities.
"Let's go quickly."
Mu and Qing walked quickly outside, their hearts filled with panic. Aqifa was different from the high school classmates she was currently meeting; he was a person who liked chaos and was also uncontrollable.
He's here, he must be here.
Everyone here is going to suffer.
As Mu and Qing were about to reach the exit, they suddenly stopped, and a golden ocean appeared before them.
Insects, countless insects appeared before her.
They rustled and whispered, each making a tiny noise, but together they created a tremendous sound.
"How can there be so many?" Mu Heqing suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Guo.
Lin Guo was speechless. No amount of lies would help. These insects wouldn't harm Mu and Qing, but they would kill him and the young man he had hired.
He had met Li Shi and Si Fei, and could even communicate with the most terrifying Nightmare. He thought Archifa was the same.
He underestimated Archifa's madness.
As soon as he got off the plane, Archie's golden insects swarmed towards him like moths to a flame, if it weren't for...
A bug the size of half a fist appeared behind Lin Guo.
"Watch out for what's behind you! No matter whose side you're on, use whatever abilities you have!"
Mu and Qing saw the insect behind Lin Guo. It was such a big insect, so Aqifa must be nearby.
Lin Guo knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he closed his eyes.
He thought, "That's bullshit."
The enormous insect raised its tail, and just as it was about to touch Lin Guo, its body trembled violently. Then, a small golden explosion occurred in the room.
The golden insect's body shattered into dust.
This ability.
Mu and Qing suddenly realized who was behind Lin Guo.
Hua Zha, a guy who never speaks human language, is someone Mu and Qing always automatically ignore when he talks.
He was here too.
The number of her classmates was far beyond her imagination.
Oh, everyone's here, haha.
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Lin Guo stopped pretending and said directly to Mu Heqing, "I can't handle so many insects."
"I can't solve this either. Call Huazha over." Mu Heqing was telling the truth; she really couldn't solve it.
The young man, dressed in a black high-collared robe and a short silver cape, clearly didn't understand what was going on. He said to Lin Guo in what he thought was a low voice, "Are we still acting? Boss, I think you've given yourself away. It's not my fault. Remember to pay me."
Mu and Qing heard everything clearly from the side.
Lin Guo glanced at the young man, hesitated, and thought, "They're both about to die here, why should they care about this?"
Having no other choice, he dialed the number again, briefly explained the situation, and then hung up.
Then, he and the young man went inside, closed the door, and left Mu and Qing outside to face the sea of insects alone.
Mu Heqing's lips twitched. Even if she wouldn't be killed by these insects, she would still be scared when she saw them, okay?
Moreover, if we leave her here, she might not be met with a scam, but rather with Archiefa.
"So, are you hoping for me, or for Archie to come?"
A cool breath, a soft bass voice, and suddenly a figure appeared beside Mu and Qing.
Mu and Qing turned to look at the newcomer and saw his magnificent, slightly smiling eyes, elegant posture, and a disdainful curve at the corner of his mouth.
Ah, a familiar classmate, with that familiar pretentious attitude.
It was definitely a scam.
Hua Zha's white-gloved hand brushed against Mu and Qing's hair, and a constantly changing, expanding and contracting black sphere appeared in the palm of the glove.
Mu and Qing knew that this was the ability of a swindler; he could transfer these constantly changing black spheres into objects, after which the objects would explode, just like the insects that had just exploded.
The black sphere disappeared, and a miniature golden fireworks display unfolded in front of Mu and Qing.
The golden sea of insects was all blasted into dust.
"Is the principal's disappearance related to you?" Mu Heqing asked bluntly.
“There are many clues and hints. Why don’t you think about this?” Hua Zha took off his gloves, stretched out a finger, and tapped Mu Heqing’s head.
Mu Heqing felt a cool touch on her forehead. She felt mocked and said firmly, "It's definitely related to you."
She didn't like communicating with Hua Zha when she was in No. 13 Middle School; there was too much of a generation gap between them.
Hua Zha liked to stand alone on the side, looking down at Mu Heqing and the other guys with an air of superiority, his arrogance was obvious.
Including this time, he first let Lin Guo contact her. If he wasn't exposed, he would definitely stay behind the scenes.
The swarm of insects blocking the exit had been mostly cleared away by Huazha. He slowly left the dark area, with Mu and Qing following closely behind.
As for Lin Guo and the young man he hired, seeing that nothing was wrong, they would leave soon.
Mu and Qing knew that the person behind the trouble was Huazha, so they lost interest in finding out the truth.
Even if they kill the principal, there's nothing she can do.
Moreover, she didn't think the principal would die.
Hua Zha, dressed in a well-fitting black suit, slowly put on his gloves, watching Mu and Qing leave with a half-smile, his tone ambiguous.
"He Qing, danger will always exist, and the outcome is inevitable."
Mu Heqing couldn't understand what he was saying at all. She strode out, but after taking only two steps, she turned back.
Her expression was one of surprise and uncertainty: "What's going on outside?"
When Gang Mu and Qing stepped out of the principal's underground nest, dark clouds covered the sun. Upon closer inspection, they found that swarms of insects were flying in the air, obscuring the sky. The scene outside was no different from the end of the world.
“The consequences of anger,” Hua Zha said slowly.
Mu Heqing's expression froze.
What is that?!
What Mu and Qing wanted most right now was to grab Hua Zha's clothes and make him speak like a normal person.
Of course, she did just that.
She crumpled her clothes, her voice tinged with anxiety: "If Archifa's insects swarm the city, everyone in this city will die!"
Hua Zha let Mu and Qing tug at his clothes, a wanton smile on his face.
"So what? If it will be destroyed this time, it will be destroyed in the past, and it will be destroyed in the future. It is unavoidable."
Mu Heqing didn't understand. She frowned and asked, "What? What? Explain clearly."
Hua Zha sighed softly.
"He Qing, do you think he hasn't destroyed cities before?"
