Chapter 5

The next day, Li Changhe, as usual, rode his bike to school.

Traffic was congested on the cross-river bridge again, but this time it wasn't due to any incident. There were many police cars patrolling back and forth. Police speedboats were also patrolling the river.

"Apparently, someone was killed again last night. It's said to be the work of that perverted serial killer!"

"I saw the news too. All the police in Yan Yun were mobilized last night. They sealed off the bridge and checked the identities of pedestrians."

"Sigh, Yan Yun has been quite unstable lately. When will they catch this guy?"

On the non-motorized lane, some people were chatting.

Li Changhe glanced at the distance without showing any emotion.

[Passive Triggered: Eagle Eye] His gaze instantly extended several hundred meters away.

At the other end of the bridge, many police officers were checking vehicles. There were also men in black suits standing on both sides, causing the traffic to slow down. Even though the office workers were furious, they had to accept the inspection. They were also afraid that the perverted serial killer might be hiding among them.

Actually, the harpy was the perverted serial killer, but she had already been eliminated by Li Changhe. What the police were really looking for was the [Player].

"It seems they have also realized that the harpy's [Player] status was taken away last night," Li Changhe thought to himself. He had escaped when the bizarre space started to shatter last night. He didn't have time to dispose of the monster's body, so the police and [The Great Wall] must have found some clues from the corpse.

"But since I've already destroyed the evidence, they shouldn't be able to trace it back to me," Li Changhe didn't continue looking. Who knew if there were any [Players] among those people? If they were as cautious as Yang Dong last night, it would be troublesome.

Now, Li Changhe looked no different from usual. He was still riding his old bike and carrying his backpack. He was neither injured nor changed, so no one should be able to recognize him.

The [Bloody Shot Put] and [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid] were stored in the [Player Backpack], along with some clothes and equipment that might be useful. It was said that when a mission was triggered, the preparation time given to [Players] was limited. He needed to bring some disguises, or he might be recognized as soon as he entered.

Thinking of this, Li Changhe relaxed a bit. He just needed to go through the inspection quietly.

As expected, they only registered his name and the time he crossed the bridge last night before letting him go. But it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

They were using the cameras on the bridge and some more covert devices to investigate.

Li Changhe only breathed a sigh of relief after riding far away from the bridge.

"Cold Reading?" he murmured. If he hadn't been exposed to such techniques while working, he might have given himself away.

After confirming that no one was following him, Li Changhe arrived at school.

There were many classmates on the way, but few greeted him.

This was a normal situation.

Yan Yun High School had high tuition fees. Most of the students here came from well-off families.

Students like Li Changhe and He Feng, who were admitted through special talents or recommendations, were in the minority.

So, there was a generation gap...

Li Changhe was unperturbed, parking his bike, which was older than he was, at the bicycle parking area of Yan Yun High School.

Since most students were picked up and dropped off by private cars, the bicycle parking area of Yan Yun High School was mostly empty. This made it a common meeting place for Li Changhe and his friends.

When Li Changhe arrived, many people were already chatting there.

After all, similar people tend to stick together. Li Changhe was no exception. Though he was a special admission student, he could also be considered one of the elites of Yan Yun High School.

Anyone who could enter this school with a special skill was certainly not ordinary.

In every exam, the top ten always included a few special admission students. In every city sports meet, the winners were mostly people like Li Changhe.

They might be poor, but they made up for it with their talents. Li Changhe felt this deeply.

"Li Changhe?" A classmate saw Li Changhe and smiled, "What's the activity for your class 3-7 today? Can you give us a hint?"

Activity? Right, today was Yan Yun High School's anniversary. Each class had to prepare an activity.

"Seems like we're selling food. I don't remember what kind, but I'm just in charge of making it," Li Changhe laughed lightly. "The computer parts are all ready. Everyone, come and visit us."

The others weren't surprised. Many classes chose this kind of activity. As for Li Changhe being in charge, that was also normal.

Those rich kids wouldn't know how to do this. Cooking was fine, but doing it and selling it? Proud students wouldn't do that. They had to rely on the 'commoners.'

These special admission students weren't exempt from all fees. Many of them, who came from poor families, worked part-time jobs around Yan Yun.

For example, if it weren't for the recent unrest in Yan Yun, Li Changhe would still be working part-time every night.

He had some life skills.

"I heard that the activity for Class 1-3 is pretty good. They even applied to use the old campus, apparently to set up a haunted house. Rich kids really know how to have fun," a classmate laughed and suggested they check it out after the activities.

After a bit of banter, they all went their separate ways. It was time for class.

Li Changhe's expression changed when he heard the words "old campus." A [Mission Trigger Clue] notification appeared in his mind.

"So, if I get close to the old campus, the mission will be triggered?" Li Changhe murmured. "Maybe not just me, but other nearby [Players] also received this notification. Should I go?"

The old campus was a building deep within the Yan Yun High School campus. Decades ago, it was the main teaching building. It was abandoned after the expansion.

It was originally planned to be converted into a student dormitory, but an unknown incident occurred during construction.

It was left unresolved.

Some curious students had explored it before. It was said to be in a state of decay and had many strange stories associated with it.

He didn't expect it to be related to the mission.

Li Changhe was still hesitating when he saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of his classroom. Many of his classmates were blocked outside.

A handsome young man was leaning against the wall, posing in what he thought was a cool stance, and smiling at the students gathered around him.

"Whoa, who's this guy? Even more flamboyant than He Feng," Li Changhe couldn't help but marvel.

A classmate beside him glanced at him and said, "He's from Class 1-3. The son of the Yan Yun Corporation, Ye Ming. He seems to be inviting the class president."

"I heard he's inviting the class president to participate in the activity. Isn't Old Li going to save the day?" another student chimed in.

He couldn't help but marvel at how leisurely the rich were. He was fighting for his life last night, and this young master was already flirting. Seeing Xiao Nan and Ye Ming chatting, many students from Class 7-3 looked envious and jealous.

"Probably just jealous... But it's none of my business."

The next second, Li Changhe's expression changed.

The mission was triggered!
