.

Cao Yuan was stunned.

"Don't be so surprised, I'm not stupid." Lu Menglei blinked.

"The calluses on your hands are too thick. They are not something you can develop from practicing swordplay when you were a kid. And the aura you exude... How can someone who has completed nine years of compulsory education and entered this school have such a strong aura of evil? Even some veterans who have fought in the battlefield may not be able to compare with you.

I guess you must have a mysterious background that you cannot tell others easily!

Right?! 」

Looking at Lu Menglei's shining eyes, Cao Yuan didn't know what to answer for a moment.

"I understand. You don't have to answer. I already know the answer since you didn't deny it."

Lu Menglei hesitated for a moment, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, she stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Cao Yuan's ear, and a gust of fragrant wind blew into Cao Yuan's nostrils.

"Can I join you?" she asked tentatively in a low voice.

"No." Cao Yuan refused very decisively.

Lu Menglei sighed in frustration.

"So... you really don't have time? Any time is fine!"

Cao Yuan looked at Lu Menglei's hopeful eyes, thought for a moment, and sighed, "If I go to work during the day... I should be able to come over at night, but it will be very late, almost until the early morning."

"It doesn't matter!" Lu Menglei's eyes lit up, "Any time is fine, as long as I can... uh... practice with you, I can come anytime!"

Seeing this, Cao Yuan no longer refused, "Then, see you tonight."

"good!"

…

Shangjing City, night.

Lin Qiye rubbed his tired eyes, landed on the top of a tall building, overlooked the neon-lit street below, and let out a long sigh.

"No... What are those Mi-go looking for?"

Lin Qiye, Chen Han, and members of the Night Watch headquarters have already searched most of the city of Shangjing. Even the three kilometers underground were explored by Lin Qiye using his mental power, and there was nothing unusual at all.

"Captain Lin, let's stop here today. You've worked hard." Chen Han's voice also sounded extremely tired through the headset.

"This is the only way. If it doesn't work, I'll try 'Miracle, Find the Item' tomorrow... I don't know if it will work."

Lin Qiye took off his headset, checked the time, and then his figure turned into a streak of night and disappeared at the end of the sky.

Squeak——!

Lin Qiye pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and found that the courtyard was very lively. An Qingyu was sitting at the chessboard under a tree, playing chess with Jiang Er, while Li Yifei sat on An Qingyu's wheelchair and started racing in the yard, occasionally cheering in surprise.

"Qiye, where have you been?" An Qingyu asked as he hadn't seen Lin Qiye for a day.

"Chen Han asked me to help him with his official business, so I stayed in Shangjing City for a day." Lin Qiye shrugged helplessly, and then changed the subject, "By the way, how do you feel today?"

"It feels... similar to yesterday. There's no obvious improvement in computing power. It seems to have even regressed a bit..." An Qingyu frowned.

"It's not a step backward, I just got ahead of you." Jiang Er comforted, "Since Qiye is here, you two can wait a while, I'll go make some medicine for you."

Jiang Er left the chessboard and floated into the room. Lin Qiye walked over to sit opposite An Qingyu and started playing chess with him.

"Qianye, I encountered a strange thing today."

While the two were playing chess, Li Yifei drove over in a wheelchair and spoke with a strange expression.

"Strange thing? Tell me about it."

Li Yifei told Lin Qiye what happened today. Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's the new reserve team doing the mission. It's just a remnant soul from the last century. Don't think too much about it."

"But, she seems to be very persistent towards me?"

"These remaining souls are all left behind by people who committed suicide in the Fifth Teaching Building due to various reasons. Perhaps the one who is obsessed with her is a man who looks very similar to you. Now that she has been taken to the *** room by Fang Mo and the others, this matter is over."

.

“So that’s how it is…”

Li Yifei nodded, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... I just felt a little sorry for her when I saw her leaving."

Lin Qiye paused while holding the chess piece, turned to look at Li Yifei, and said with a complicated expression, "Maybe... These young people have a hard life. If you really feel bad, you can go and help her."

"Help her? How?"

"Explain it to her clearly and untie her knot. They are all wandering ghosts. If they can dissipate some of the resentment and depression in their hearts... that would be a good thing."

Li Yifei seemed to be thinking about something.

Soon, Jiang Er came to An Qingyu with hot medicine soup. After he finished drinking it, Lin Qiye stood up and said:

"Jiang Er, you should stay with him. I'm a little tired and I'm going to sleep first."

"good……"

"Hey, I can do it too!" Li Yifei volunteered and raised his hand, "Jiang Er, you go and have a rest, I'll play with him, don't worry, I won't let him lose too badly!"

Jiang Er gave him a strange look and said, "Okay...then you guys go ahead."

Lin Qiye went back to his room to sleep, Jiang Er returned to his coffin, and only Li Yifei and An Qingyu were left in the courtyard, playing chess seriously under the tree.

"Hey, Qingyu, then I'll go down first?" Li Yifei said with a smile.

Li Yifei has lived with them for so long that he has some understanding of An Qingyu's situation. Back then, An Qingyu used his terrifying reasoning to kill him directly in No. 6 Middle School, which still makes him feel a little scared. Now that An Qingyu's computing power is damaged, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to take revenge on the chessboard!

"Okay." An Qingyu smiled shyly.

Li Yifei confidently placed a piece on the chessboard, and An Qingyu followed closely behind.

As time passed, the smile on Li Yifei's face gradually disappeared, and later, even beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"You lose." An Qingyu calmly placed the last chess piece and said with a smile.

"You're not sick, are you?"

Li Yifei looked at the chess game in front of him in disbelief.

"It's not that I'm not sick... it's that you're too new." An Qingyu couldn't help but say, "Your level is even worse than when Jiang Er played against me at the level of an elementary school student..."

Li Yifei: …

Li Yifei shook his head in annoyance. "Well...it seems that I am really not good at these things. I'd better go back to my room to practice the piano..."

"Practice the piano?"

"Yes, I will be performing at the welcome party in two days." At this point, Li Yifei became confident again, "I'm not bragging, I played and sang for a while on the roadside today, and immediately more than 30 girls asked me for my WeChat..."

While Li Yifei was boasting non-stop, An Qingyu fell into deep thought...

"Li Yifei, can you do me a favor?" An Qingyu suddenly asked.

"You want my help? Just tell me! I'll definitely help if I can!"

An Qingyu paused for a moment and spoke seriously:

“I want to learn guitar.”
