In the headmaster's office, Headmaster Chen clasped his hands together and rested his head on his hands as he stared at the letter of challenge on his desk. "Have you investigated the situation?"
"Headmaster Chen, we have. Shadow Stream's seal is very special, and it was verified by the cultivation police that this letter of challenge was indeed sent by Shadow Stream. " Director Shi frowned. To be honest, she hadn't expected Shadow Stream to issue such an overt declaration of war to a high school, and had even threatened to complete the assassination plan on Student Lotus Sun on campus as revenge for what had happened that day in the Xiao Family Compound.
"It looks like the situation has become troublesome." Headmaster Chen lit a cigarette and took a drag.
"If Shadow Stream sends a strong enough expert, given our current teaching strength, it will be very difficult to restrict their activities … Student Lotus Sun is in a very dangerous situation."
"So, what do the higher-ups mean now?"
"They want us to protect Student Lotus Sun before she leaves the school, and then apply to the General Administration of 100 Schools to upgrade our school's security measures in the near future."
"Director Shi, do you know how long until the next Alliance of 100 Schools?"
"About a month's time …"
"There are twelve districts and thirty-six ordinary high schools in Songhai city. Currently, we rank third among the three in Peiyuan district."
Director Shi: "…" No. 60 High School's daily ranking at the bottom had already become the norm.
Headmaster Chen sighed. "If we accept the higher-ups' suggestion, it will be the same as saying that our school's leaders are incompetent. If those two old men from No. 58 High School and No. 59 High School want to stir up trouble, they'll definitely make a big deal out of this, and we'll be further and further away from becoming a key city high school …"
"So … Lord Headmaster, what do you mean?"
"Our overall teaching strength might not be strong, but! There are still some comrades who are very capable! " Headmaster Chen thought for a while, then crushed the cigarette butt. "I don't care how Huaguo Water Curtain Group and the cultivation police protect Student Lotus Sun after she leaves the school. But we must be fully responsible for her safety on campus, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong. "
"Then … what should we do now?"
"Refuse the higher-ups' suggestion to leave the school, take Student Lotus Sun to her private classroom, and leave that person behind to protect her. Tell the higher-ups that if Student Lotus Sun loses even a hair, I'll bring my head back! "
Headmaster Chen sneered. "They're just a bunch of lowly, shady hooligans. If they dare to come, we'll f * ck them up!"
Director Shi broke out in a cold sweat. "…" Of course, she knew who the person Headmaster Chen was talking about was … However, if they really sent that teacher to take action personally, Director Shi felt that it was really like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
…
Not long after Shadow Stream's assassination challenge was issued, No. 60 Middle School immediately took comprehensive measures to protect Student Lotus Sun. He directly moved Lotus Sun's desk to the teacher's office.
Lotus Sun was of course very unwilling to do this, because she wouldn't be able to see Wang Ling this way.
But unable to withstand the pressure from the school and Huaguo Water Curtain Group, Lotus Sun finally compromised.
Wang Ling had never expected that after that unpleasant date in the Xiao Family Compound, he would never have thought that … The memory swap hadn't reduced Lotus Sun's impression of him; on the contrary, it had increased. Because according to Huaguo Water Curtain Group's investigation, the assassination attempt in the Xiao Family Compound the last time had actually been premeditated. According to Shadow Stream's original plan, Lotus Sun would have been unable to escape even if she had wings. Unfortunately, the variable of this "peerless expert" had appeared.
Lotus Sun felt that she had gotten completely lucky, and naturally believed that this luck had been given to her by Wang Ling … Wang Ling felt a headache coming on when it came to this beautiful girl who was the self-inventing type.
…
…
It was Friday in the second week of school, and the announcement of Shadow Stream's challenge had arrived.
Today, Shadow Stream would send out a first-class killer to directly assassinate Lotus Sun in the school.
All the students in the school were locked up for protection, and even when they went to the bathroom, a teacher would accompany them. Wang Ling created a clone to sit in the classroom in his place. His real body teleported to the rooftop of No. 60 High School and lazily basked in the sun.
Leisurely, languid, peaceful and ordinary … this was the high school life that Wang Ling wanted.
He looked out the window at the school scenery with a profound gaze. From this angle, he could see the old stone sculpture at the main entrance of the school, and the palm leaves were gently blown by the breeze. But what was different from usual was that there was clearly a hint of an unusual and unfamiliar aura in the wind today.
Wang Ling couldn't help sighing in his heart, because high school life wasn't as peaceful as he had imagined, and something bad would happen almost every few days.
But regarding Shadow Stream's assassination challenge, Wang Ling already felt that he didn't need to do it himself.
Because he realized that No. 60 High School wasn't as simple as it seemed.
It was clearly just an ordinary Foundation Establishment high school, but there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the teachers.
This was Wang Ling's latest discovery after entering the school.
Among them, Wang Ling also realized that the expert closest to him was that Old Antique from the theory of history class.
But …
Who could tell him what on earth was up with this group of Shadow Stream assassins who had suddenly gathered at his feet?
Didn't they realize that he was here?
… What a bunch of blind people!
…
On No. 60 High School's rooftop, a group of assassins in black had suddenly gathered. The eye-catching red ribbons on their sleeves proved that they were first-class experts of Shadow Stream.
"Leader, the wind is very noisy today …"
"Leader, I think the boss is exaggerating. She's just a female student. Is it really worth it for us to take action? "
"Today's target is the Young Miss of Huaguo Water Curtain Group. According to our intelligence, it's very likely that a top expert has been assigned to protect her. Otherwise, Shadow Stream's mission in the Xiao Family Compound a few days ago wouldn't have failed. " The leader of the assassins spoke. His red ribbons were embroidered with several golden threads; he was the chief commander of this assassination operation.
"What's the specific strength of that expert?"
"We haven't found out yet." The leader of the assassins was a little ashamed as he said, "The two Black Ribbon assassins we sent out that day had a one hundred percent success rate in carrying out the mission. They only needed to complete this mission to advance to Red Ribbon. But we couldn't even find the corpse. It's very likely that it was destroyed along with the golden core in its body. "
"…" What the hell?! Not even a corpse?!
The Red Ribbon assassins broke out in a cold sweat.
"So, don't underestimate this battle. Also, remember that our target is only Lotus Sun. Once we find the target, immediately assassinate her and then retreat. Don't complicate matters and leave unnecessary trouble behind. "
With a whoosh, the leader of the assassins waved his hand, and the group of assassins in black immediately dispersed.
…
As the chief commander of this operation, he was one of the top twenty assassins in the world, and ranked thirteenth.
He had carried out all kinds of terrifying missions for Shadow Stream. He had gone through countless mountains of knives and seas of fire, and had stepped over countless corpses and souls to reach this step. He hadn't expected that his last mission before his promotion would be so simple …
"As long as I can successfully complete this mission, I'll be able to enter Shadow Stream's Gold Ribbon management team."
Standing in the shadows on the rooftop, Xu Ying looked down at the small and somewhat dilapidated campus and chuckled. In the end, it was just an ordinary high school that didn't even have a spirit gathering array. Even if Huaguo Water Curtain Group had recently dispatched a security team, how could the teachers and school guards be so strong in the face of the first-class assassins that Shadow Stream had sent out?
Xu Ying laughed self-deprecatingly and carefully fastened his mask … this was probably going to be his last mission.
As a Virgo, even if this last mission didn't seem challenging at all, Xu Ying decided that he would do it beautifully as usual!
"The wind is really noisy today …"
Suddenly, a long sigh came from above Xu Ying's head.
Xu Ying was startled at first, and then his eyes abruptly widened. Looking back, he abruptly saw a boy in the No. 60 High School uniform with a black buzz cut sitting leisurely on the roof of the single-story building, basking in the sun.
Before coming to the rooftop, Xu Ying had clearly checked that there was absolutely no one here!
Then the problem was …
