11:45 pm, outside the big iron gate on the mountain.

Bao Kangle's hands were shaking as he held the key to open the door. He knew that the principal had already sent the security guard away, but he still couldn't help looking left and right. It took him several tries to poke the key into the lock and push open the lock bar.

"Gada."

The moment the big lock fell to the ground, Bao Kangle jumped in fright, then he turned around and looked at Bai Liu who was following him, "Open it, open it."

"Then go in." Bai Liu was very calm. He pushed open the iron gate decisively and walked up the stairs to the mountain road.

Bao Kangle had never been here before. He followed Bai Liu timidly, stumbling forward.

The mountain is very green, with dense shades of trees everywhere. The various shadows moved, and Bao Kangle would be startled from time to time. Before he even reached the College Entrance Examination Lake, his face had already turned pale.

Bai Liu ignored Bao Kangle who was hiding behind him. He followed the signs and walked for a while. Soon his view opened up and a tranquil lake appeared in front of the two of them.

The moon was reflected brightly on the clean and warm lake. The cool night breeze blew, rippling the fallen dead leaves on the lake. The moon halo was blown away so gently. If it weren't for the terrifying Gaokao Lake legend, this would have been a tranquil and picturesque scenery, which should have attracted groups of couples instead of one obsessive senior high school student after another.

When Bao Kangle thought about what terrible things might be hidden at the bottom of the lake, he swallowed his saliva. He hid behind Bai Liu and dared not face the beautiful lake.

Bai Liu's tone was as calm as the lake: "We're here."

"What is the content of your bet with me?"

"Let's make a bet." Bao Kangle looked at the bottomless water of the lake and began to stutter. "When the moon shines in the center of the lake at twelve o'clock, let's make a bet on who can see and complete the college entrance examination paper at the bottom of the lake first."

Bai Liu's expression was calm: "Okay."

At the same time, there is a dormitory building for outstanding male students.

Lu Yizhan walked out of his dormitory carefully, following the wall. He avoided several surveillance cameras in the corridor with familiarity, and ran out from the back kitchen on the first floor of the dormitory by climbing over the wall.

He plans to dive into the bottom of the College Entrance Examination Lake again tonight to see if he can find the college entrance examination paper prop.

When Lu Yizhan successfully climbed over the wall and "escaped from prison", escaping from the locked dormitory building and landing on the ground, he was about to breathe a sigh of joy, but the moment he turned his head, his expression froze on his face.

Under the moonlight, a man wearing a Heretic Administration uniform and with one eye covered by a bandage walked out slowly. He looked at Lu Yizhan, whose expression was frozen, and smiled before he spoke: "Brother, I didn't expect that you are really going backwards as you grow older."

"They actually played this kind of wall-climbing trick on a high school campus."

Lu Yizhan suppressed all the expressions on his face, and his tone became serious: "Cen Mingming, how could you be the captain of the Heretic Management Bureau who came to investigate the heretics in Qiaomu Private High School's College Entrance Examination Lake?"

"Why can't it be me?" The smile on Cen Mingming's face became more and more obvious, almost obvious to the point of being fake. "Oh, I remember now. Senior Brother secretly sent the report to the captain of the third team, Tang Erda. How come it was me, the captain of the second team, who came in the end?"

"Of course I found the letter from my senior brother on the way, intercepted it, and asked the second team to come over to practice and go out on field work."

Cen Mingming crossed his arms and smiled, "After all, the world's biggest heretic, Bai Liu, is here. As the second field team that gives priority to hunting down heretics, how can we miss him? Don't you agree, Brother?"

The expression on Lu Yizhan's face completely sank: "Cen Mingming, you are no longer a hunter. Bai Liu and my game have nothing to do with you. You can't interfere with Bai Liu's path."

"No longer a hunter? Can't interfere with Bai Liu's path?" Cen Mingming's expression began to change. He couldn't hide his hatred and stared at Lu Yizhan with his yellow eyes. "Lu Yizhan, do you know that this is the last world line?"

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"You hid it from me, Tang Erda, and everyone in the Bureau of Heresy that you secretly landed in this world four years ago. You didn't inform anyone, and you met Bai Liu, who hadn't even had time to enter the game yet."

"But you didn't kill him."

"You actually lived with him day and night for four years and didn't kill him!"

Cen Mingming's expression was almost brutal. He grabbed Lu Yizhan by the collar, pushed him against the wall in the back kitchen, and asked him, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"You killed Captain Dong and Captain Yu with this, forcing all the members of the Cross Inquisition to enter reincarnation and sell their souls one by one, and forcing Team Fang to be trapped in that place and never be able to escape."

"--You were forced to reincarnate through 658 world lines, and Tang Er and I were forced to raise you by sending crazy people away!"

"Now you actually tell me." Cen Mingming sneered almost wickedly, "I am no longer a hunter, he has nothing to do with me, and he even tried to let the more gentle second-generation hunter Tang Er come to save this Bai Liu from the crisis of heresy."

"Lu Yizhan, is your head filled with shit?"

"Maybe it's feces." Lu Yizhan held Cen Mingming's wrist. He used one hand to push away Cen Mingming's hand that was holding his collar, so hard that veins popped. Then he raised his head and looked directly at Cen Mingming, with a fierce look in his eyes. "But you can't touch him while I'm here."

All the expressions on Cen Mingming's face stopped for a second. His temples throbbed twice, and then Cen Mingming closed his eyes. He loosened his hands and leaned against the wall side by side with Lu Yizhan. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his uniform pocket on his chest, shook it twice, bit one from the opening, and then naturally handed it to Lu Yizhan next to him:

"Are you an adult in this world line? Can you smoke?"

Lu Yizhan paused for a moment, took it, but didn't light it. He just held it in his mouth and said, "I'm quitting smoking."

Cen Mingming sneered and ordered it himself.

Two people smoked silently against the wall. In the dark night, only a scarlet cigarette was burning fiercely.

"I heard that you are training a third-generation hunter to supervise Bai Liu." Cen Mingming sneered in the smoke and smoke, "Why, you are also going to waste Tang Er's second-generation hunter? Don't you want him anymore?"

"No." Lu Yizhan had a headache after hearing Cen Mingming's words about carrying a gun and a stick. He held his forehead and said, "He has other uses."

"It seems that I am the only useless piece of trash left in the hunter team." Cen Mingming said indifferently.

Lu Yizhan's teeth bit through the cigarette holder, and a bitter taste of tobacco gradually spread in his mouth. He could almost imagine what Cen Mingming would say next.

"Then you might as well kill him..."

Lu Yizhan took a deep breath and interrupted Cen Mingming: "According to the game rules of Bai Liu and me, retired hunters can no longer interfere in the game affairs of both parties. You can't break the rules of the game."

"That bastard wants me to be a spectator, to know everything but not be able to do anything." Cen Mingming responded indifferently, "You want me to be a spectator too, Lu Yizhan?"

Lu Yizhan felt that whatever he said was meaningless in Cen Mingming's eyes, so he fell into painful silence again.

Arguing with a colleague who holds different opinions from you is really a painful experience.

Cen Mingming pinched out the cigarette with two fingers. He looked back at Lu Yizhan with a dark look in his eyes: "In the previous world lines, in order to allow the game to proceed, I can be forced to be a spectator of your game, but not in the last world line."

"Lu Yizhan, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation for raising that little beast Bai Liu to this size, or I'll shoot him tonight."

Lu Yizhan was silent for a long time: "Bai Liu...is different from the other Bai Lius."

"He's not a bad kid, he just doesn't want to get into the game."

"The last person who thought this way was Wu Ruishu, and you were the one who collected his body when he died." Cen Mingming interrupted Lu Yizhan coldly, "That doesn't convince me."

"And I found something very interesting, and I believe you have found it too."

Cen Mingming smiled with a forced smile: "Some of the teachers in this school and the principal at the top are players."

"You know what these idiots did?"

Cen Mingming opened his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yizhan coldly: "They think that the students who sold them are also players. Even though what you did was so obvious, these idiots still ruled you out as a suspect because of your superficial characteristics."

"So they screened a list of students other than you who were suspected of being gamers."

"Do you know who the number one suspect is?"

Cen Mingming looked at Lu Yizhan's frozen expression, and he said the name with a mocking smile:

"——It's Bai Liu."

"Lu Yizhan, whether a person is good or bad is not determined by what he does in a stable environment, but by what he does in a bad and extreme environment."

"You let Bai Liu, who grew up in the stable environment you worked so hard to create, convince me that he is a good kid at heart. Do you think I will believe it?"

"If you really believe that Bai Liu is a good kid, would you dare to let him enter the game?"

"Do you dare to let this Bai Liu enter the game, dare to let him stand at the top in the place where he holds supreme power and desire, and then be sure that he will not do anything bad?"

"You wouldn't dare."

Cen Mingming's voice turned completely cold: "Because we all know that it's impossible."

"You cut off all of Bai Liu's illegal channels for gaining status and money. You made him unable to even resist the so-called campus bully. He is now just a soft and fragile unformed body. He has not grown up at all and has no ability to do bad things."

"But do you dare to let him take shape?"

Lu Yizhan's hands hanging down from his body slowly clenched until his knuckles turned white.

Cen Mingming paused for a moment and said, "I asked the second team to follow Bai Liu. They just informed me that Bai Liu and another student were near Gaokao Lake and seemed to be preparing to go into the lake."

"If Bai Liu comes into contact with heresy and shows any signs of entering the game, I will kill him immediately."

Lu Yizhan raised his head suddenly.
