Clearly, she understood the nature of her father's job. Fu Yi looked at Huai Shi with a strange expression, "Did you get into trouble during the summer break?"
"… Yes."
Huai Shi nodded, not knowing what to say.
Fu Yi didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "There's no need to be afraid of him. He's just used to being rough and doesn't know how to be … tactful.
Probably everyone who's been on the battlefield is like this. No matter how good they think, they're never liked. "
After she wandered around for a while, she received a message from the student council for a meeting. She returned to her quiet demeanor and left.
Huai Shi stayed alone in the piano room until the evening self-study session.
According to Crow's instructions, he took some medicine, then practiced for a few hours and completed his meditation for the day.
He felt that as his body developed, the waves of Origin Substance became more abundant. He guessed that he would soon reach the peak, right?
Soon, after the puberty period ended, he would be able to start preparing for the Sacred Mark. Crow said that he would choose a system and type that would be perfect for him.
It would definitely be a large sum of money …
Thinking about this gave Huai Shi a headache, but now he seemed to be gradually getting used to this kind of heavy daily routine.
Practicing the piano, chatting with his classmates, slacking, dealing with the teacher's inspection, making a few mistakes and receiving a few reprimands, meditating, making sand carvings, playing mobile games for free without spending money, doing homework, taking exams, taking time to complete the astronomy meeting, reading the records of the Book of Destiny, preparing for the college entrance exam …
If you counted the number of things he had to do, it would be crazy.
Even though there were many things that weren't perfect, there were also many things that didn't seem necessary, but this was the precious life he had obtained through his own efforts.
Even if it was a bit hard, he would gladly endure it.
Then, he left early before the evening self-study session.
What a joke, it wasn't easy to get special privileges. Was he going to stay up until nine o 'clock every day and miss the last bus to ride home?
Now, he was a man who could afford a monthly bus ticket!
Huai Shi carried his piano case, humming a song, and deliberately walked around the school building. Under the envious and jealous gazes of his classmates, he swaggered out of the school gate.
Then, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Huai Shi, right?"
The security guard who was playing with his phone also had some impression of him. He pointed at the door and said, "There's a parcel for you … Just don't do it again. This isn't a collection point. Next time, I'll directly inform your class teacher to come and collect it."
"What?" Huai Shi was stunned and looked at the pile of express delivery boxes in the corner of the gatehouse.
He didn't know why.
His hair stood on end.
A chill crawled from his heels to the back of his head, dancing on his shoulders. Finally, it stepped on his eyebrows and stepped on the top of his head. It pulled his hair and laughed evilly, blowing a cold wind in his ears.
He almost lost his balance and staggered back.
"What's wrong?" The gatekeeper glanced at him and shook his head. "Forget it, I'll give it to you."
"Wait!"
Huai Shi reached out and grabbed his wrist. The uncle was stunned for a moment. He stopped in his tracks and looked back at him in astonishment. His arm was actually hurt by a little brat.
"Sorry, I'll do it myself."
Huai Shi pulled him to the ground somewhat impolitely. He took the piano case and walked into the gatehouse. He squatted down and looked at the parcel with his name on it.
Amidst the noise of the television on the wall, he vaguely heard the sound of the box ticking.
It was so clear.
Huai Shi squatted on the ground, motionless. He was silent for a long time until the gatekeeper impatiently urged him a few times. He slowly got up and roughly dragged him out of the door. He didn't care what the gatekeeper said. He took out his phone and dialed Division Chief Fu's number.
"Hello? I'm Huai Shi. "Huai Shi looked up at the surveillance camera outside the door." Division Chief Fu, you can see me, right? "
"What are you thinking, kid?" The middle-aged man suppressed his anger. "I'm a division chief of the Special Affairs Department. Do you think I have nothing better to do than to peep at you all day long?"
"Forget it." Huai Shi sighed. "Come to the school and bring some people with you. It's best if you have anti-explosion experts … The school is going to explode, literally."
"What's going on? What the hell is this? What the hell are you doing?! "
Division Chief Fu was shocked. He threw all the questions in life at him.
When he came back to his senses, he heard a commotion on the other end. "Ten minutes! Just you wait! Stay where you are and don't move! "
The phone call ended.
Huai Shi called Ai Qing again. After informing her of his situation, he quietly asked the gatekeeper to wait a few meters away from the gatehouse.
Of course, whether the gatekeeper was willing or not was another matter. The commotion seemed to have attracted a lot of attention. There were patrolling security guards and teachers who were preparing to go to self-study.
Soon, the noise stopped abruptly in front of the pitch-black carriages one after another.
The Macho Man Squad filed out of the car, followed by Division Chief Fu in a bulletproof vest. He jumped out and walked directly to Huai Shi.
"Where's the thing?"
Huai Shi pointed in the direction of the gatehouse. Division Chief Fu did not say anything more. He waved his hand and two bulky figures wrapped in anti-explosion suits rushed into the gatehouse with the explosion-proof ball on a cart.
Soon, an unfortunate piece of news came through the intercom.
Division Chief Fu's face became more and more unpleasant. He glared at Huai Shi and waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat a long distance.
Not long after, two experts took off their helmets and walked out. Their messy hair stuck to their foreheads and sweat dripped from their chins.
"It's done."
They helped each other take off the heavy protective suits and then showed the box lying in the explosion-proof ball to Division Chief Fu. In the box that was cut open, there was a damned thing tied together with dense cables and circuit boards. The countdown had stopped at one and a half hours.
"It looks quite ordinary."
Division Chief Fu did not take a closer look. Instead, a hand reached into the jar and took it out. He was so shocked that he almost stopped breathing.
It was Ai Qing.
She sat in her wheelchair and fiddled with the dangerous item that could blow her up. "What's the trigger type?"
"There are two types. It's a combination of a timer and a trigger. It will explode when the box is opened and when the time comes. The explosives are ordinary mining explosives. They're relatively weak. They'll probably only flatten the gatehouse. "
The expert panted and sat on the ground smoking. "If it's opened in a classroom or something, the consequences will be worrying."
"…"
Division Chief Fu clasped his hands behind his back and did not speak. The veins on his hands behind his back were bulging.
"It's become a vicious public safety incident." Ai Qing rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She was a little troubled. "Who sent it here?"
Soon, the footages of the deliveryman were displayed on the surveillance cameras on the road.
It was a hunchbacked man wearing a hat. He was wearing old clothes from Northern Express, but he did not look like a deliveryman at all. His footsteps were a little staggered and he walked with a limp.
His face was hidden under the brim of his hat, so his face could not be seen clearly. After passing the package to the guard, he rode away on his bicycle.
But before he left, he raised his head to glance at the surveillance cameras as if he was provoking them.
It revealed the twisted face that was covered in horrible burns.
There was still the warmth and friendliness that he used to have.
He was grinning happily.
He was looking at everyone present.
There was no need to think about it. As long as they saw that face, everyone present who had experienced the turmoil half a month ago would be able to recognize it.
That was the former leader of the Salvation Society in name …
"Wang Hai?"
Division Director Fu widened his eyes in disbelief. "He's still alive?"
"From the looks of it now, there's nothing wrong with him being alive." Ai Qing glanced coldly at the smug smile on the screen. "And he still has the energy to challenge us."
Soon, the short discussion came to an end.
Without a doubt, this was a provocation aimed at the Special Affairs Department and the Astronomy Society. A surviving member of the Salvation Society dared to conduct such an attack in Xin Hai. This was like jumping off a ship at the entrance of an oceanic trench prison; they had a clear death wish.
At this point, other than killing this bunch of bastards, there was no other choice.
From that moment onwards, the Special Affairs Division had already started their operation. Very soon, the spies that were planted in every corner of Xin Hai would start to search for any trace that had anything to do with Wang Hai. Once they found any trace of him, a group of impatient brothers would descend from the sky with guns and small cannons to teach him a lesson.
From the beginning to the end, Huai Shi sat on the steps with a calm expression.
He didn't say anything.
There was only silence.
It was as if he was in a daze. After a long time, he recovered from his daze as if he had just woken up from a dream. He looked at Ai Qing beside him. "Is it over?"
"It's possible that this is just the beginning."
Ai Qing shrugged. "Don't be too stressed. The people from the Special Affairs Department will send you back first. Rest well tonight. I'll inform you if there's any news."
"Okay."
Huai Shi nodded and didn't say anything else. But after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask, "By the way, can you help me apply for leave?"
"Hmm?"
Ai Qing was taken aback. She looked into his eyes. After a long time, she sighed and nodded.
"Thank you."
Huai Shi smiled and didn't say anything else. He just picked up the piano case and took one last look at the school that had returned to peace and the light in the piano room in the distance.
He seemed to see Fu Yi's shadow through the window. She was looking at him from afar, so Huai Shi waved at her.
He waved goodbye.
After a long time, he pulled back his gaze and turned to leave.
.
.
"I'm back."
Amid the screeching sound of the door bolt, Huai Shi pushed open the door of the stone essence museum. Even though there was no one waiting for him in the courtyard, he still called out like he was going home.
The iron door slowly closed behind him as if responding to him.
As soon as he entered, he saw the Crow standing beside the boiling pot on the table in the hall, waving his wings at Huai Shi.
"Dalang, time to drink your medicine."
"Didn't I already drink today's medicine this morning?" Huai Shi walked over, picked up a test tube on the table, and drank it in one gulp.
"It's an extra meal. By the way, I adjusted the formula of the medicine according to your current situation."
After the Crow explained, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he tilted his head curiously and looked at Huai Shi in front of him, as if he had found something interesting.
"What's wrong?" Huai Shi was puzzled.
"No, I'm just thinking — if it's normal, you would respond when you hear Dalang drinking medicine, right?" The Crow asked, "Did something happen, Huai Shi?"
Huai Shi was silent.
After a long time, he slowly shook his head and turned to go upstairs to the bedroom.
"Nothing happened." He turned his back to the Crow and whispered, "I'm going to sleep. Good night."
He closed the door, took off his coat, and kicked off his shoes.
Huai Shi lay on the bed and stared blankly at the crack on the wall as if he was in a daze. After a long time, he buried his face in the pillow regretfully.
"Damn, I'm so weak …"
.
On the branch outside the window, the Crow, who was staring at all this, didn't go in to comfort him.
"It seems that he lost miserably."
She narrowed her eyes. "The collection of Stigmata materials has to be put on the agenda …"
She went back to the table in the hall, and scribbled in her book, trying to remember something, as she mused over her plans and what she had to prepare.
Then, it was a long night.
Huai Shi's new semester and the peaceful life he longed for came to an end in a hurry.
He was on vacation.
