Chapter 9

In this mission, the player with the highest level, Xiaodao Qingtai, disappeared as soon as he entered the academy, putting the other players on high alert.

"Qingtai has vanished. The moment he entered the campus, he was thrown to some place." Bu Jianhong's eyes glowed with a deep blue light, using a certain skill.

【Skill: Illusionary Demon Eyes lv3】

【Type: Visual Enhancement/Support】

【Effect: See through mystical/paranormal intrinsic effects】

【Note: Through layers of mist, I always watch you!】

A few seconds later, Bu Jianhong's eyes returned to normal. He shook his head and said, "This place is clearly not simple. Grouping up is out of the question. The moment you enter the campus, you'll be randomly thrown to some place. I was too careless; I didn't expect such a thing at the entrance."

Xiaojunzi said in a deep voice, "Since we'll be scattered, grouping up is indeed useless. No one can be sure where they'll be thrown."

"The Evolution Game won't give players a mission that will definitely lead to death. We can at least be sure that we won't be thrown in front of those bizarre entities," the Earth Knight responded. He then walked towards the school gate, "Since we can't group up, let's hope we meet inside. May you all have good fortune in battle!"

He disappeared into the school gate the next second.

Bu Jianhong glanced at Xiaojunzi, nodded, and walked into the campus.

Xiaojunzi seemed to let out a sigh of relief. His originally tightly clenched fists loosened slightly.

Li Changhe could guess some of the secrets. Xiaojunzi, who was Xiao Nan's identity... was not ordinary.

Of course, as the daughter of a talented woman from Yan Yun and a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Education, her status was already high. But what Li Changhe considered unusual was her status among the players or, more specifically, within the Great Wall.

Recently, with the appearance of players in Yan Yun, Xiao Nan's driver, Yang Dong, was replaced. Yang Dong's true identity was a member of the Great Wall, and his status was not low. Li Changhe had seen him command the police and the black-clad people.

The question was, why would a high-status Yang Dong play the role of Xiao Nan's driver? One high-level player protecting another player?

Considering the previous actions of a few people.

The previous grouping by Xiaodao Qingtai might have had the intention of separating Bu Jianhong and Xiaojunzi.

When Xiaodao Qingtai disappeared, Xiaojunzi instantly became wary of Bu Jianhong. Even Li Changhe could faintly sense the change in the atmosphere. The Earth Knight left first, clearly not wanting to get involved.

What is special about the title "Demon Baal"?

The 45th demon in the 72 demons of King Solomon in mythology.

Indeed, there were discussions on the forum about the Great Wall obtaining loot in the "Solomon Script Mission." It seems Xiao Nan is one of the recipients, thus becoming a player with a relatively special status.

Is this "Demon Baal" something that can be taken? That makes sense.

"Is this girl always in high demand wherever she goes?" Li Changhe muttered to himself.

His analysis was quite close. It was precisely because of this title that Xiao Nan was wary of other players, and the national machinery, the Great Wall, dispatched a high-level player to provide protection.

While Li Changhe was analyzing in his mind, Xiaojunzi looked at him and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you a student at Yan Yun?"

Huh? Probing, probably sensing something. Li Changhe smiled faintly in his heart but said nothing. This was no different from suddenly checking someone's household registration, and given the special status of players, revealing any information could be life-threatening. No player would respond in such a situation.

"Never mind, I don't want to be a nuisance," Xiaojunzi knew that inquiring about a player's identity was very offensive, but he felt a sense of... familiarity, so he asked.

He didn't press further but said in a low voice, "This mission is quite dangerous. As a newcomer, you might as well stay here and wait for your teammates to complete it. Although it's a passive completion and you'll get less experience, at least you'll be safe."

He didn't say anything more and turned to enter the old campus.

Watching Xiaojunzi's figure being teleported away, Li Changhe didn't know where he would appear in the old campus.

"This girl doesn't even know my identity, yet she's concerned about me. This is really..." Li Changhe sighed. Xiao Nan's character was too good, which was why they became friends.

But this was also her weakness. Being wary of those who could threaten her and kind to those weaker than her? The danger of players can't be measured by level alone.

"Really doesn't make things easy." Li Changhe clicked his tongue. He thought he needed to be careful about Bu Jianhong and the Earth Knight. Who knows if they planned to target Xiao Nan.

The mission couldn't be missed, but Li Changhe didn't intend to just walk through the school gate.

With too many players around, every word was a potential exposure. Li Changhe had been thinking all along.

"Why do we have to go through the school gate? Are we all model students?" Li Changhe walked around the old campus wall.

The old campus wall wasn't high, and compared to the three-meter-high walls of the new campus, it wasn't hard to climb over.

Li Changhe found a shorter, dilapidated section of the wall, and with a push, he climbed over without being teleported.

At least his guess was correct; otherwise, he would have been at a disadvantage from the start.

Landing in a bush, Li Changhe brushed off the leaves and slowly stood up, looking at the pitch-black teaching building. His eyes suddenly focused.

【Eagle Eye lv1 triggered】

His vision instantly extended over 300 meters, taking in the entire old campus, but he still saw no movement.

Four people were clearly thrown into the building, yet there was not a single sound. The night made it seem like a graveyard.

"No wonder the senior students want to use this place for a haunted house activity. If it looks like this in real life, they wouldn't even need to set it up." Li Changhe clicked his tongue, his hands not stopping as he took out his homemade equipment from his backpack.

It wasn't the "Bloody Lead Ball" but a pair of black boxing gloves.

Li Changhe wasn't unprepared when he took on this mission. These gloves were not simple; they were a bonus from a part-time job at a boxing gym, supposedly a retired champion's spare gloves.

He buried them in the ashes at a temple in the suburbs for a month and then had a Taoist priest at a neighboring Taoist temple consecrate them.

The left hand was inscribed with "Amitabha Buddha"

The right hand was inscribed with "As the law commands"

He originally planned to sell them at a comic convention to otakus for protection or to match their middle school syndrome. Otakus had money, so he wasn't worried about selling them.

But after last night's harpy, Li Changhe felt that materialism wasn't enough. Using these to deal with those bizarre entities might work.

There's no reason for there to be ghosts without gods. With my left hand, I'll use Buddhist law to guide, and with my right hand, I'll use Taoist law to guide. Li Changhe thought.

Confidently, he walked into the nearest teaching building.
