Chapter 12 It’s not like I’m attracted to him
In the square.
Suess stood at the back of the joyful crowd, observing the carnival as an outsider, waiting for tragedy to happen.
The established facts cannot be changed, so there is no need to offer cheap sympathy.
He coughed lightly twice, and the man behind him immediately came forward and wanted to put his coat on him, but he raised his hand to refuse.
If he can't bear this little pain, he won't be able to go any further. And a worthless person's death is not worth it.
Thinking of this, he tilted his pale face slightly and said in a low voice: "Unless I faint in front of you, leave me alone."
"Yes." After a moment of silence, the two men behind him answered in unison.
Seuss returned his gaze to the man on the stage.
His third-level ability can only predict the vague ending of the world, and the details are unknown.
The idol who is currently playing the guitar poorly on the stage has already seen his lonely future.
The moment he withdrew his gaze, ripples appeared in the transparent air. No one except Sus could feel the subtle vibration.
He suddenly raised his head, his dead eyes burning with brilliance, and looked at the stage with burning gaze.
After an unknown amount of time, Suss emerged from this state. The last trace of blood on his face faded away, and his body collapsed like a snake with its spine removed.
The men who received the order stepped forward subconsciously, then quickly retreated.
They watched Sus fall to the ground without taking any action.
Suss fell heavily to the ground. The smell of dust rushed into his nostrils, causing him to cough violently, and the taste of rust filled his mouth.
He clutched the clothes around his chest, bit his lip, stood up, and walked towards the outskirts of the square.
it's over.
While he was still waiting for the enemy to make a mistake, that group of reckless men had already taken the initiative to attack and found a way to escape.
This time, the first place passed him by.

The light curtain glowed with cold blue electronic patterns.
The four battle-hardened captains of the Special Investigation Bureau met Li Xiaogou's gaze from a distance, and for a moment they all had the illusion that they were seen through.
"Young people are formidable," said the oldest, Du Tu, with a smile. "Three good seeds, the soil for Team Four is just right."
Baili Meng covered her lips and chuckled: "Uncle Du's skin graft surgery should be renewed. He is thick-skinned enough to block the knife."
Du Tu was not angry: "I am an old man, but I am not as attractive to young people as you are. Naturally, I have to make plans early."
"Stop talking nonsense, my son is definitely going to be in the second team, haha." You don't need to look to know that Wang Zheng's tail is about to stick up in the sky, "Yunlou, you kid, stop pretending, just laugh if you want to."
Yunlou looked at Wang Zheng slowly and said, "Hold your claws."
Wang Zheng withdrew his hand angrily: "Still pretending."
"Follow-up to the case?"
"?"
Yun Lou pressed his eyebrows together and said, "Now that the case has been solved, Murphy must be arrested. Who will go?"
Wang Zheng, Du Tu, and Bai Li Meng all pointed at Yun Lou: "You."
Yunlou: ...
*
When the assessment was over and the results were announced, Yunlou was the only one absent among the four team captains.
Baili Meng stood in the center, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the group of injured chicks below the stage: "Congratulations on surviving until the reward settlement time."
"The results of the 99th Special Investigation Bureau final assessment have been announced. A total of 25 fictitious cases were investigated, with a 36% clearance rate, a record high."
She paused here and admired the students' surprised looks.
Amidst the clamor, she pressed the detonator. "Among the nine teams that passed, one was assigned an A-level case by the system."
The explosive uproar blew the roof off.
Regardless of whether they passed the test or not, all the students were looking around, wondering when such a perverted person hid among them.
"Suse."
"It must be Sus. I heard he also took the test."
"Well, it's not surprising with him."
"Damn it, why wasn't I in a group with Soos?"
"Super big breasts, I'm so envious."
Amidst the discussion, one name was mentioned incredibly frequently, and the three captains standing on the stage naturally heard it clearly.
Wang Zheng sneered, what a bunch of ignorant people.
Du Tu smiled but said nothing.
The corners of Baili Meng's lips rose a little more, and she was already looking forward to the expressions of these people later.
"The speed at which they solved the case—" she said, her red lips parting slightly, deliberately prolonging the last syllable, "also broke the record."
"With minimal casualties and the fastest time possible, they successfully solved an unsolved case. Thanks to them, Captain Yunlou apprehended the murderer who was at large ten minutes ago."
"Li Xiaogou, Wang Bo, Mo Shang, you did a great job."
Baili Meng led the applause.
The students in the audience widened their eyes in shock and paused for a long time before applauding.
The sparse applause grew louder and louder, and finally someone whistled.
These three are comrades who spend every day with them, slack off together, get criticized together, and grow up from nothing to something.
Seuss was an unattainable genius, his success enviable.
But the success of Li Xiaogou and others is touching.
It was as if they had plucked the word "success" from the sky, thrown it in front of their eyes, and said, "Look, as long as you work hard, you can do it too."
Can they... too?
"Quiet." Wang Zheng's bell-like voice cut off the applause.
"You earned this, congratulations. Now you are free to choose your team."
The whole audience was shocked. Choose your own team?!
Baili Meng threw a coquettish glance and said, "Li Xiaogou, I really like your abilities. Come to my team, I will definitely be able to develop you well."
Li Xiaogou: ...
The back of my neck feels inexplicably cold.
Wang Zheng looked at Wang Bo and said, "Son, you should set a good example and tell them loudly which team you want to join!"
Wang Bo glanced at his father, then looked at his teammates beside him, clenched his fists and mustered up his courage: "I want to join the first team!"
“?!”
Wang Zheng's eyes almost popped out, and if Du Tu hadn't pulled him back, he would have rushed off the stage.
"You rebellious son! Say that again if you dare!!"
Wang Bo shrank his neck, his eyes glancing at his companion who was standing beside him with his hands in his pockets and his eyes downcast. He shouted with his Adam's apple rolling, "Team Yun has always been my idol, and I want to be in the same group with Xiao Gou!"
…
When did he say he was going to join a group?
Wang's face turned liver-colored, with blood vessels spreading from his neck to his temples.
Suddenly turning his back, the towering man twitched his shoulders.
He raised his son so big with one hand, and he despised him. Wow.
Du Tu patted his shoulder and looked at Mo Shang lovingly: "Which team does this student want to join? I specialize in economic cases here, and the benefits are better."
Baili Meng glanced at him and thought that this old man had done his homework.
Mo Shang's knuckles were clenched white. He really needed money, but—
"I'll choose a team. I also want to be on the same team with Li Xiaogou."
…
So who said he must choose one team!
He had no choice before, so of course he obeyed Yunlou's arrangements. Now... he must control his own destiny!
Li Xiaogou suddenly felt his shoulders sink. The smell of cedar and tobacco forced him to twist his neck, and he met Yunlou's half-smile with his eyes.
Yunlou's gaze shifted towards the stage, but he addressed him, "When we first met, I didn't realize you were a psychic. It's not that your psychic level is too low, but that there's something wrong with your psychic ability."
He lowered his voice very low, and the warm and moist air poured into Li Xiaogou's ears, mixed with the threatening meaning behind the words, causing Li Xiaogou to shudder.
Yunlou slowly passed by him and walked towards the platform.
This man, we already knew he was lying, but he chose to say it now, just to force him to stay in the same team?
What's the point?
It's not like she's attracted to him at all - there's no warmth in those icy eyes.
"Li Xiaogou, which team do you want to join?" Baili Meng asked.
His fingertips dug into the flesh, and the young man forced a typical fake smile: "Of course, choose Team Yun."
Yunlou enjoyed someone's gnashing of teeth, his narrow eyes curved: "Welcome."

As soon as the graduation ceremony ended, Li Xiaogou rushed straight to the Yunlou office.
He must figure out Yunlou's intentions.
Completing the system task is for the sake of my life. I can't be killed by Yunlou before that.
Yunlou seemed to have predicted his actions and had already cleared the office of staff.
"You don't like me, why do you keep me in the same team?" Facing the absolutely strong man, Li Xiaogou chose to go straight to the point.
Yunlou did not wear his combat uniform, but draped it loosely over his shoulders. At this moment, he was sunk in the wide chair, wrapped in a faint feeling of tiredness, and his temperament became much softer.
"Sit down," he said.
Li Xiaogou's lips were stretched straight and fixed in place.
Yunlou didn't repeat himself, nor did he answer the question. He lowered his eyes, opened the drawer on his left, and pushed the brown paper bag across the table. "Now that we're already members of the team, let's get to work."
"The collapsed network of relationships in the entertainment industry?" He instinctively resisted touching the object handed to him by Yunlou, but the title triggered his melon-eating DNA.
More importantly - he had caught a glimpse of this file last time.
This was compiled by Yunlou himself, it must be very important.
"What you are holding is a top-level secret from the Special Investigation Bureau. Memorize it and burn it immediately."
"The last page of the document is the identity assigned to you by the bureau. From now on, you will officially become the Special Investigation Bureau's disciplinary inspection specialist stationed in the Daxia entertainment industry."
