In the afternoon, Zhou Haorui went to the rehabilitation department for acupuncture and traction. He took a week's worth of medicine prescribed by Dr. Xiao and returned to the campus in the evening.
His neck felt a lot more comfortable after the physical therapy, and he couldn't hear the cracking sound anymore. He was probably just scaring himself.
The campus was very noisy in the evening. The students who had finished a day of classes rushed to the cafeteria. Zhou Haorui also went there.
After dinner, he went to the library. Because he had missed a day of classes, he stayed in the library for a long time. It was almost ten when he returned to the dormitory. It was a normal four-person room. Other than him, his three roommates, Wei Ziyang, Wang Jiaqi, and Li Hui, were also there.
"Haorui, where did you go? Come online!" Wang Jiaqi shouted when he saw him. "We're about to be killed."
"Hurry up, let's finish this round first," Wei Ziyang urged.
They were playing PUBG in front of the computer. Li Hui did not like to play PUBG, so he was half lying on his bed playing with his phone.
"Oh …" Zhou Haorui actually wanted to sleep early. He had been running around all day, and he wanted to rest his neck. However, he knew that these people would not sleep until the lights were off. Even after the lights were off, they might not be willing to sleep. He would not be able to sleep because of the noise. He might as well … play for a while.
He said, "Okay, I'll go pee first." He turned on the computer and hurried to the bathroom on the same floor.
When he came back from the bathroom, Zhou Haorui heard them talking about Gu Jun. He asked, "What's going on?"
"Have you noticed that Gu Jun seems to have disappeared since the Spring Festival?" Li Hui said.
Zhou Haorui thought about it. It was indeed the case. In the video of Phecda's Spring Festival greeting last year, Gu Jun had a lot of screen time. This year, he did not appear in the video, which raised some questions. After that, there was no news about Gu Jun in the two months after that.
"It has been a while," he said.
"Rumor has it that Gu Jun made a mistake and was grounded," Li Hui said mysteriously. He had obviously seen it on his phone. It was probably a rumor from a public account or a short video.
"What?" Zhou Haorui sat in front of his computer and was very confused. "Where did this news come from? What mistake did you make? "
"It's a rumor. It's from within Phecda. He wasn't sure what kind of mistake he had made, but it seemed like he was messing around and breaking the rules. Men were nothing special. Now that Gu Jun has been frozen and discarded by Phecda, there might be further punishments, "Li Hui said with a straight face.
Zhou Haorui frowned. He didn't like it. "It's just a rumor. It's made up by the media. It's easy for you to believe it."
He logged into the game as he spoke, but he still had to wait for Wei Ziyang and the others to finish their match before he could enter the room. Therefore, he thought for a while and said, "Gu Jun is an important figure in Phecda. He's very powerful, and it won't be easy to groom him. Just think about how many people Phecda University could recruit every year, how many Gu Jun could they produce? With Gu Jun's strength, even if he really had a foot in a few boats, how could he be abandoned? Do you think those leaders would care? "
"Haorui, that's just what you've heard." Li Hui did not think much of it. He scrolled through his phone without raising his head. He was already seventy percent convinced. "They have a point. Gu Jun is just a facade. Because of his good looks, Phecda pushed him out to be their spokesperson. Actually, he doesn't have any real strength, he's about the same level as Xie Yiman. This kind of person is the easiest to inflate. Once they are flattered to the point that they become dizzy, they will fail. "
Wei Ziyang and Wang Jiaqi were listening as well. Wang Jiaqi said as he clicked on the mouse, "I agree. If he's really capable, why would he expose himself to the public? Shouldn't this kind of person be kept a secret?"
"Exactly." Wei Ziyang agreed. "If Gu Jun walks on the street, he'll be recognized. How inconvenient would that be?"
Zhou Haorui hesitated. After a while, he said, "Perhaps that's how the social circle is. Gu Jun only shows his face to intimidate those supernatural beings."
"You believe that?" Li Hui chuckled condescendingly as he crossed his legs. "Fine, I know you're Gu Jun's fan."
Just as Zhou Haorui was about to say something, Wei Ziyang and Wang Jiaqi suddenly screamed in agitation. Then, Wang Jiaqi clicked the mouse speechlessly. Wei Ziyang cursed. Without asking, they knew that they had been f * cked. As expected, Wang Jiaqi said in disbelief, "This b * stard must have cheated. How is that possible?"
"Perhaps Captain Gu has been on some secret mission recently." Zhou Haorui said as he rubbed the back of his neck. After reading for a whole night at the library, there was a strange pain in his neck. "In any case, the media only wants to make headlines. Only an idiot would believe them."
Li Hui chuckled but did not say anything else.
The laughter was so sarcastic that Zhou Haorui wanted to argue with the man. However, it was true that Captain Gu had disappeared from public view for two months … He really had no idea what had happened. Then Zhou Haorui was reminded of a high school classmate and old friend who was selected to attend Phecda University. His name was Lin Chengbo.
However, ever since the man enrolled at Phecda University, it was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. He could not be found on any messaging app, his social media did not update and he did not even share any information about his life at Phecda University. It was as if he was isolated from the outside world for research on advanced weapons.
During Chinese New Year, when he heard that Lin Chengbo would be coming back, he was filled with excitement. He looked forward to meeting up with Lin Chengbo. Of course, Gu Jun had another motive. He really wanted to find out the difference between Phecda University and a normal university. He wanted to know if Lin Chengbo had come into contact with any supernatural forces …
However, when Zhou Haorui tried calling Lin Chengbo's number, it still went to voicemail.
Then he asked Lin Chengbo's mother. Lin Chengbo's mother said helplessly, "He said he's not coming back for Chinese New Year because he's going to join a special training class. I have no idea what happened."
Special training class! Zhou Haorui was excited when he heard that. Lin Chengbo was doing quite well. To be able to join a special training class, he must have a bright future ahead of him …
Unlike Gu Jun, even though he was passionate and often searched for information on occultism, he had not even touched the surface of the occultism.
Zhou Haorui scratched his neck. 'I've only scared myself …'
"Stop joking, Haorui!" Wang Jiaqi grumbled, "We'll rush this round first and kill as soon as we land. It'll be a warm up for you."
"Killing one is more than enough, killing two is more than enough." Wei Ziyang agreed. He had spent so much effort in the previous round and ended up in third place. He wanted to rush this round to vent his anger.
"Okay." Zhou Haorui agreed. His left hand pressed on the keyboard and his right hand gripped the mouse. He stared at the waiting menu on the computer screen.
However, his mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Chengbo and Phecda University. The more he thought about it, the duller the game became.
