The patrol team reacted quickly; upon hearing the noise, several members immediately ran into the dormitory building.

"You!" The female teacher turned her head and glanced into the dormitory building.

Inside, the lights were on and shadowy figures were moving about. She couldn't tell who had made the shout, but she had a feeling it was related to Shu Yan. "Did you use your superpower on her, Shu Yan?"

“Teacher,” Liao Zifei stepped forward and spread his hands, “we’ve been standing right here, without moving a finger, how can it be us!”

Shu Yan had only closed his eyes for a moment, but he has now opened them.

He stood there calmly, like a model student: "When the teacher asked me to put away my superpower just now, I already did."

The female teacher couldn't believe it. She pointed at the power fluctuation machine and said sternly, "There was clearly a huge power fluctuation value just now!"

Shu Yan: "The screams that came from inside the girls' dormitory building just now triggered the patrol team to go on alert, which caused the teacher's detector to show a huge fluctuation of supernatural power."

The patrol leader, Wang Xi, glanced at his team members beside him and nodded to the female teacher: "We did activate some of our special abilities just now to prepare for any unexpected events. Teacher, why don't you go and ask which student in the dormitory building was involved in what happened?"

Actually, there were other teachers in charge. When the female teacher heard Captain Wang say that, she opened her personal terminal to ask.

But they received no answer as to who was screaming in agony.

"Nobody here?" the teacher said, turning on the voice of the personal terminal so that Captain Wang could hear more clearly.

“When we arrived, we only saw a few drops of blood on the ground and no one. We checked all the female students in the building, and all the students were there except for one named Luo Zilin who was not in the building.”

Liao Zifei pointed to the human pupa on the ground, wrapped like a black mummy and crawling with insects, to prove his innocence: "Uh, this thing on the ground is Luo Zilin. We just saw her get wrapped in a bundle of black hemp rope for some reason, so we were about to help her."

At that moment, many female students rushed out of the dormitory building and stood not far away, peeking out to see what was happening.

Tao Yao, Hu Tiantian, Xie Langhuan, and Lu Shu also came out.

Upon seeing Shu Yan and Liao Zifei, Tao Yao ran over and gently shook her head at Shu Yan.

She had just received a message from Shu Yan inside the building and rushed to the communal tea room on the third floor.

My dorm room was on the fifth floor, and the fastest way to get down three floors was to just fly down on a balance bike.

As Tao Yao was descending on her hover scooter, she heard a scream coming from the tea room.

Her intuition was that something unexpected had happened to Shu Yan, causing him to kill the other party with his mental power instead of keeping them alive.

When she arrived, a group of teachers and students had already gathered inside. There was blood on the ground, but none of the people present looked physically weak or even mentally unwell.

Soon, the patrol team came to investigate, so Tao Yao gave up the investigation and left the dormitory building with Hu Tiantian and others whom she met on the way.

Shu Yan reached out and took Tao Yao's hand, pulling her closer so they could stand shoulder to shoulder. He gently comforted her, "It's alright."

The patrol team leader had already retrieved the surveillance footage from the vicinity of the dormitory building. He approached Shu Yan and Liao Zifei, saluted, and said, "I am Wang Xi, the captain of the third squad of the 30th Regiment of the Fifth Army Corps. I need your cooperation in the investigation."

As he spoke, Wang Xi turned on the surveillance footage in front of the group.

The surveillance footage wasn't continuous. Initially, Shu Yan and Liao Zifei were squatting on the ground picking up insects.

Not long after, the two sat down in the pavilion and chatted.

Luo Zilin was seen walking alone on her way back to the girls' dormitory. According to the surveillance footage, Shu Yan and Liao Zifei were talking to each other the whole time, while Luo Zilin kept glancing at the two of them with a flirtatious expression, just like a drunkard who saw his favorite beauty on the street.

Then, probably after Luo Zilin walked past the sunshade pavilion, she suddenly collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, the surveillance camera suddenly went dark.

About ten seconds later, the surveillance footage was restored. When the footage was restored, Luo Zilin was being dragged by a black rope, and Liao Zifei was leaping in the air chasing after Luo Zilin who was being dragged.

The black rope bound Luo Zilin and pushed her towards Liao Zifei's bones. Liao Zifei was shocked and reversed his body to retract his bones and land on the ground.

Such scenes were also captured clearly.

After watching the entire surveillance video, Shu Yan and Liao Zifei had dark faces, their expressions looking as if they had swallowed two flies.

I never imagined that just moments ago I was relieved that my embarrassing posture of bending over to pick up bugs hadn't been seen by my little one, but now it's being shown to a much larger audience in a more direct way!

Liao Zifei held back, held back again and again, but couldn't hold back any longer and snapped at Shu Yan, "What are you picking up! Picking up bugs!"

Waaah, Lu Shu saw it.

His lifelong reputation has vanished.

Wang Xi was also curious: "What were you doing there before? Did you discover something?"

Shu Yan was equally embarrassed to the point of despair: "No, we were just discussing the insect feast together."

Ah Hao took out a box of various planet 832-specific insects from his spatial storage, and showed one off: "Captain Wang, look, this red-shelled insect. Just remove its head first, then use a knife to cut open its shell. Inside, the meat is crystal clear, white, tender, and incredibly delicious. Just marinate it for half an hour with some lemon juice, pepper, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch, or you can add an egg. Then coat it with breadcrumbs and deep-fry it. Serve it with soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and chili peppers, and pour hot oil over it. The aroma will be irresistible and the taste unforgettable..."

Wang Xi: "..."

That's a really long recipe!

Why make things so complicated when you can solve them with nutrient solution?

Ah-hao continued, "Actually, you can also make a five-spice version with the shells on. If it's five-spice, you don't need to remove the heads and shells, because it'll be chewier to peel and eat it by hand. Just put all the red beetles in the oil and fry them first, then add five-spice powder, star anise, and bay leaves..."

Wang Xi: "..."

He had reached his limit and could no longer hold back. "Alright, you don't need to say anything more!"

If he keeps talking, he'll have to go back for a late-night snack!

Based on the surveillance footage, aside from the few dozen seconds after Luo Zilin collapsed, the rest of the footage proves that the black rope was indeed unrelated to the two people.

Judging from the footage, Liao Zifei did not harm Luo Zilin at all from beginning to end.

It's best if it's okay.

Wang Xi didn't want any misunderstandings between herself and these young masters from wealthy and powerful families.

Don't you see, this group of young ladies and gentlemen standing together, plus their respective bodyguards, has more people than a single patrol squad.

Conflicts like this happen every year, and it's not uncommon for spoiled young ladies and gentlemen to fight with the patrol team.
