His name is Li Banfeng—”Feng” as in “mountain peak,” not “madness.” The doctor confirmed he is not insane.
To save a friend’s life, he stepped onto Platform 96, boarded the 11...
Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Li Banfeng looked at the ceiling silently.
The bed in the dormitory was very high and the ceiling was very close to him. The mold spots on the ceiling looked like eyes staring at him.
There were indeed eyes watching him, observing his every move.

The phone received another message.
Who sent me the message?
This person picked up He Jiaqing's mobile phone.
He knew that I met my third uncle.
He knew I had seen the police.
He also knew that He Jiaqing was lying on the hospital bed.
Who is this person?
Teacher in university?
A doctor in the hospital?
Old Chen who claims to be a policeman?
The doorman downstairs?
…
The cell phone kept ringing. Li Banfeng picked up the phone and took a look. There were more than a dozen messages from He Jiaqing's number.
"Ban Feng, you are my only brother in these four years of college!"
"There's only one glass of wine left. You take a sip and I take a sip."
"There's only one cigarette left, you smoke half and I smoke the other half!"
"It was the first time I went out to eat with my wife.
It's you who keeps me company.
The first time I went out to sleep with my wife,
I was half asleep when you called me and I went to the Internet cafe with you to spend the whole night."
"You were mentally ill, so I accompanied you to see the doctor. When you ran out of money, I paid for you. When I ran out of money, I went to the construction site to move stones until you were discharged from the hospital."
"Last year, I failed the exam in order to pass the answers to you. I was almost detained. In my four years at university, I only recognize you as my brother! Only you!"
…
More than a dozen pieces of information proved one thing.
The other party is really He Jiaqing.
Because there are some things that only the two of them know.
Last message:
"Brother, save me, only you can save me."
Li Banfeng took a deep breath and called back. He wanted to confirm He Jiaqing's voice.
The call could not be connected, so Li Banfeng sent a message: "How did you get back from the station, and why did you run to my bed?"
"That's not me."
"If it's not you, then who is it? Where are you? Why can you see me?"
Li Banfeng had many questions to ask He Jiaqing, but these were all he could think of at the moment.
Click!
He Jiaqing replied:
"I really want to answer you, but there is no time. The train is about to leave. If you don't come to save me today, I don't know when the next train will come, and you may never see me again."
The train is about to leave.
I'm here to save you today...
Li Banfeng turned over and got out of bed, looking out the window quietly.
Is this your only friend in college?
How many friends do you have from birth to now?
It seems there is only this one.
It was deserted downstairs in Dormitory 6; even the clothesline was empty.
But under the big willow tree downstairs, there was a person standing.
He was a thin young man, about the same age as Li Banfeng.
His eyes were big and bright like light bulbs, and Li Banfeng could see them clearly even from the third floor.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
In this dormitory building, besides Li Banfeng, the only person left is the old man who opens the door.
Let’s rule out the gatekeeper for now, this man must be coming for Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng sent a message to He Jiaqing: "I'm being targeted."
He Jiaqing replied: "It must be someone from the Dark Star Bureau."
"What is the Dark Star Bureau?"
"I really can't explain it to you right now. The Dark Star Bureau can't be mentioned casually. They can sense it. Brother, you have to save me. If you don't save me, it will be too late."
Li Banfeng sat in a chair and fell into deep thought.
He sat there for more than ten minutes, without moving.
During this time, the gatekeeper came up and looked at Li Banfeng and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Li Banfeng ignored him and didn't even see him.
His mind quickly recalled all the past four years between him and He Jiaqing.
Yes, I am his only brother.
After a long silence, Li Banfeng typed a line of words on his phone:
"Brother, you are my only brother in these four years of college. If there is one glass of wine left, let's take a sip each. If there is one cigarette left, let's split it in half.
If you don't have money to treat your illness, I will go to the construction site and move stones immediately, without any hesitation.
But I don’t want to get involved in this matter.”
Li Banfeng put down his phone, feeling very conflicted.
The reason why he no longer wanted to get involved in this matter was because it was beyond his understanding.
According to Li Banfeng's understanding, the time and place where He Jiaqing appeared were wrong, whether it was He Jiaqing on the hospital bed or He Jiaqing on the mobile phone.
According to Li Banfeng's understanding, He Jiaqing has not demonstrated any superpowers in the past four years, otherwise he would not have been caught cheating.
Li Banfeng felt that his ability to accept things was strong enough. This kind of thing could drive a normal person into a psychopath.
Besides, I'm a psychopath.
Click!
The phone, which had been silent for a long time, received a message from He Jiaqing.
"Okay." The message contained only one word.
Li Banfeng lay back on his bed in the dormitory, staring at the ceiling, continuing to be in a daze.
I haven't had a good sleep for three days, and it will be gone after a good night's sleep.
Jiaqing, I have done everything I could for you.
Click!
Received another message from Jiaqing.
"You are fine."
You are fine.
This sentence sounds so familiar.
This was the last sentence Li Banfeng said to He Jiaqing.
The last words spoken face to face.
All right...
Let him be well, but he is not well now.
If it’s bad, it’s bad. It’s that simple.
Li Banfeng sat up and sent a message: "How can I save you?"
"Banfeng, good brother, I beg you to help me get something and bring it to my home."
Although He Jiaqing's face could not be seen, judging from the content of the message, He Jiaqing was very excited.
"What is it?" Li Banfeng looked at He Jiaqing's locker. In Li Banfeng's impression, this locker had been emptied long ago.
He Jiaqing replied: "The things are not in the dormitory, but in the campus supermarket."
Li Banfeng came to the window and looked downstairs.
He first looked at the man who was still squatting under the tree, and then looked at the campus supermarket not far away.
Li Banfeng: "You said to send the things to your home, it's not your hometown, right?"
He Jiaqing: "It's my hometown, it's not far away, I'll buy you a ticket, it'll leave this afternoon! Go to the East Station quickly! I beg you!"
Li Banfeng took a deep breath and jumped off the bed.
He washed his face carefully, letting the cool water temporarily suppress the fatigue of the past few days.
He put on a short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of loose sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers.
Since you are going on a long journey, you still need to prepare your luggage.
He first took his wallet, put his ID in it, and took the two thousand cash given by "Uncle San".
He took out another backpack from the closet. This backpack was bought by He Jiaqing from a street stall. It cost thirty-one and fifty-two. He Jiaqing bought two and gave one to him.
Pack a change of clothes and set off immediately.
Before leaving, Li Banfeng glanced out the window again and saw the big-eyed man who was following him was still there.
Li Banfeng sent a message: "Since the person staring at me is not a policeman, he should be able to accept appropriate physical contact, right?"
Click!
"Don't be impulsive."
"Don't worry, I know my limits and it's definitely within the scope of legitimate defense."
"It's not a matter of proportion. He is a dark power user. You can't beat him. You have to find a way to get rid of him."
"What is a Dark Power?"
"I can't explain it to you right now."
"When I get to your house, you must tell me everything."
Li Banfeng went out.
When I just walked out of the dormitory door, the big-eyed man didn't move.
After walking for dozens of meters, the big-eyed man followed quietly.
Li Banfeng walked into the campus supermarket casually, just as casually as he usually went in to buy a bag of spicy strips.
The thin man with big eyes is named Dong Xiaoning, codenamed Light Bulb.
He just joined the Dark Star Bureau last month, and he is not professional enough in many things he does.
For example, when it comes to tracking this matter, he is very unprofessional, and he knows that he is not professional enough.
He was currently standing at the entrance of the supermarket, wondering whether or not to go in.
The campus supermarket is not big, and if you go in, you will easily be discovered by Li Banfeng.
If I don’t go in, I’m worried I’ll get lost.
Click! He Jiaqing sent a message.
“The stuff is in the lockers at the supermarket.”
Li Banfeng arrived at the locker. The campus supermarket only had facial recognition lockers, and there was no other way to deposit or withdraw money except by scanning your face.
"How do I open the cabinet? Using your photo?" Li Banfeng replied.
"No, just take it."
Take it directly?
Li Banfeng pressed the pick-up button, and the cabinet screen began to record Li Banfeng's portrait.
What's the use of this? It's not my stuff...
Boom!
Door number six opened.
What's going on?
He brushed my face and took out He Jiaqing’s things?
What is the principle behind this?
Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time, unable to understand the reason.
There was a package in the cabinet, tightly wrapped with tape.
The package was not big but very heavy. Li Banfeng quickly put the package into his backpack. When he was about to walk out of the supermarket, he suddenly saw Dengbao waiting at the door of the supermarket, seemingly making a phone call.
"The man staring at me is on the phone. Can you hear what he's saying?"
If the other party is looking for help, Li Banfeng must find a way to deal with it.
He Jiaqing replied: "I can hear a little bit, but it's vague. I can't do it alone. We brothers need to cooperate. Can you get closer to him?"
Li Banfeng pushed a shopping cart and wandered aimlessly at the entrance of the supermarket.
The sound of the light bulb became louder and louder, and Li Banfeng could hear it more and more clearly.
He Jiaqing seemed to have temporarily lent some of his superpowers to Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng not only heard the big-eyed man's voice, but also the voice on the other end of the phone clearly.
"Captain Xiao, Li Banfeng took something from the supermarket locker. I'm not sure where it came from."
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhenggong asked, "Have you reported this to Captain Chen?"
"I called Captain Chen, but the call didn't go through."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a long time, and then Xiao Zhenggong's order came: "Shoot this man to death and bring what he got back to the bureau."
Upon hearing this, the big-eyed man trembled all over.
Shivering with him was Li Banfeng, who was standing next to the shelf.
To be precise, Li Banfeng was shivering more severely.
Shot to death?
Are you kidding?
What did I do to deserve being shot?
