Gao Qi was so excited that he couldn't help but quicken his pace. In the end, he jogged all the way into the library.
But when Gao Qi ran into the library, he didn't see that familiar person. Instead, he saw a young woman sleeping on the librarian's desk.
Gao Qi confirmed that the person behind the desk wasn't Professor Su. This made him very disappointed. "Hello, may I ask …"
The sleeping woman was quite beautiful. She raised her head and glanced at Gao Qi with her sleepy eyes. Then she immediately lay down on the desk again and said in a slightly irritated tone, "If you want to borrow a book, you can find it yourself. Leave the book here."
The beautiful woman lay down again. She definitely didn't see Gao Qi's uniform, so Gao Qi had to raise his voice. "May I ask if Professor Su is here?"
The beautiful librarian didn't raise her head. She just said impatiently, "There's no Professor Su here!"
Gao Qi was just polite, but it didn't mean that he had a good temper. So he knocked on the desk and raised his voice. "May I ask if Mr. Shurian is here?"
After hearing the name Shurian, the beautiful woman finally raised her head. She wiped her eyes and saw Gao Qi's uniform clearly. She was stunned at first, then immediately stood up and said with a flustered expression, "Shurian? He's gone. He's not in our library anymore. Are you looking for him? "
Gao Qi frowned and said loudly, "Gone? Where did he go? "
"He left the city. Didn't you know?"
Gao Qi was stunned. "Left the city? When did that happen? Where did he go? When will he come back? "
"I don't know …"
The librarian was at a loss. She looked very scared. Gao Qi had to comfort the librarian in front of him, so he said calmly, "Don't be nervous. Professor Su is my teacher. I just came to visit him. He was still the librarian here a month ago. Why did he suddenly leave the city? Do you know why?"
The librarian was slightly relieved. "It was a month ago, the day after the alarm sounded. He suddenly went to the librarian and said that he wanted to leave the city. The librarian asked him why, and he said that he just wanted to go out and have a look. Then the librarian said that he couldn't come back. Then Su … Professor Su said that he wouldn't come back. He officially applied to leave the city."
Gao Qi originally thought that Professor Su might leave the city, but he didn't expect that Professor Su really did leave the city. Moreover, it was on the same day that he saw Professor Su and said goodbye.
After knowing what the Wasteland was like, Gao Qi was now a little flustered. He subconsciously thought that he would never see Professor Su again, because Professor Su was a typical idealist. He didn't believe that an idealist could survive in the Wasteland.
It could only be said that fate made a fool of people. Gao Qi didn't expect that after going around in circles and coming back, Professor Su would leave the city and not come back.
"What else did Professor Su say?"
"The librarian asked him why he had to go out. He said that his best student had also left the city. There was no hope for this city, and hope was outside the city. He also said that a single spark could start a prairie fire. He wanted to ignite the fire of civilization and hope. Then he took out the application to leave the city. I remember very clearly that he said that at that time."
"And then?"
"Then the librarian immediately signed and approved him to leave the city. After that, Professor Su should have gone to the Administrative Department, but he didn't go back to the dormitory. The Administrative Department must have approved it too …"
"Why did you hear what he said?"
"I'm the librarian's secretary. I was in the same office as the librarian at that time."
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment. He felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, so he pulled the collar of his shirt and said, "Does your librarian know where Professor Su might have gone?"
The librarian shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know. I definitely don't know."
"Why are you so sure?"
"The librarian said … said that the Administrative Department wanted to drive him out of the city, but he didn't expect him to leave the city by himself. He also said that a bookworm like Professor Su would be dead if he went out. He didn't know where he was going, but he could go wherever he wanted."
Gao Qi was silent for a moment, then he said very seriously, "Professor Su is not a bookworm, he's … he's just an idealist, a cultured idealist. You people won't understand him."
Gao Qi was very disappointed and confused. He didn't want to stay in his beloved library for a moment longer, so in the end, he almost ran out of the library.
Gao Qi returned to the car in a daze, but Huang Fei obviously didn't notice his abnormality, because Huang Fei also looked like his soul had left his body.
The two of them sat in the car and fell into deep thought. After a long time, Gao Qi finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Huang Fei looked like he had just woken up from a dream, then he said in a determined tone, "A Screwdriver, I want to tell you something."
Gao Qi, who was a little distracted, turned his head to look at Huang Fei and nodded. "Speak."
Huang Fei was still a little conflicted. He lowered his voice and said with a little nervousness, "I want to discuss this with Boss Han, but I don't think I can tell him now. A Screwdriver, you're my strategist, so I can only tell you this. You definitely, definitely can't tell anyone!"
Gao Qi was a little surprised, but he immediately nodded and said in a low voice, "I definitely won't tell anyone."
Huang Fei pulled on his collar and said in a low voice, "What John told me, how should I say it? Hmm, two things."
After subconsciously looking around and confirming that there was no one around, Huang Fei lowered his voice and said, "John told me that there are only three documented psychic ability users in the world, and I'm one of them. I'm a talent, so he invited me to Angel City on behalf of Angel City's City Lord."
Gao Qi was shocked, "Angel City? City Lord? Angel City is a city-state? "
Huang Fei's focus was clearly different from Gao Qi's. He nodded seriously and said, "Yes, he said that my ability is wasted in Chaoxi City, and that I should go to a bigger stage to display my ability instead of staying in this small Chaoxi City."
Gao Qi frowned, "What's the second thing?"
Huang Fei sighed, but his face was firm, "The second thing is the real secret. I shouldn't have told you this, but I trust you."
After saying that, Huang Fei subconsciously looked around again, then lowered his voice, "John invited me to join the Bounty Hunter Guild. No matter if I'm willing to leave Chaoxi City or not, no matter where I am, they invited me to join the Bounty Hunter Guild."
"What does the Bounty Hunter Guild do?"
Huang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Bounty Hunters earn bounties, but it has nothing to do with hunting. John explained it to me. For example, there's a C-class ability user in Apple City who offended someone, so someone in Apple City offered a bounty to kill that C-class ability user. Then, a bounty hunter really went to kill that ability user."
"They're assassins!"
"It wasn't just an assassin. Listen to me, there was also an Iron Tower City that was almost defeated by the Desolate Dwellers. Therefore, the City Lord of Iron Tower City offered a reward of 100 kilograms of gold. Then, dozens of people went over and defeated the Desolate Dwellers. They took the 100 kilograms of gold."
"Then they're mercenaries."
"Don't worry, there's also a few exotic beasts outside Fog City, which caused a lot of trouble. Fog City offered 10 kilograms of gold, and a few ability users went to kill the exotic beasts."
"They're really hunters. Well, I understand. Bounty Hunters are people who hunt for bounties, and bounty hunters will do anything as long as they're paid."
Huang Fei sighed and said, "Yes, they'll do anything. The Bounty Hunter Guild is responsible for issuing missions, which are divided into open and closed missions. Open missions are hunting exotic beasts, while closed missions are assassinations. The Bounty Hunter Guild accepts everyone's registration, and open missions can be seen by all bounty hunters. But for some closed missions, the guild will only invite certain bounty hunters to complete them. So there's a difference between bounty hunters, and it's a difference in level."
Gao Qi nodded gently and said, "I understand. The Sky Gun Shop is just a cover, and the Bounty Hunter Guild is their real identity."
Huang Fei whispered, "Don't talk about this secret. John warned me again and again. I can choose not to join, but if I reveal their secret, they'll come after me."
"What can they do? Oh, they can just issue a mission to get rid of you. "
Huang Fei whispered, "It's good that you understand. A Screwdriver, you're my strategist and my brother. Do you think I should join this Bounty Hunter Guild? John also said that if I join their guild, I'll be the person in charge of Morning Dawn City, responsible for developing bounty hunters, and in charge of issuing missions. I'll get a commission. "
Gao Qi thought for a long time, but in the end, he frowned and said, "Let's analyze the benefits of joining the Bounty Hunter Guild. The first benefit is that you can earn money. Are you short of money?"
"Yes, but also not short of money. I don't have much use for money in Morning Dawn City."
"Okay, let's analyze the disadvantages. Joining the Bounty Hunter Guild will be dangerous. No matter what mission it is, it'll definitely be risky. Is it worth it for you to abandon your current life to take this risk?"
Huang Fei had a troubled expression, he sighed and said, "Hardedef told me a lot of things about the general trend, and I feel that what he said is reasonable. But forget it, forget it, it has nothing to do with me."
Gao Qi immediately said, "Don't. This general situation has too much to do with you. A person without foresight will have immediate worries. Fei Ge, tell me what he said."
Huang Fei waved his hand and said, "It's just something about the rise of ability users and the impact of the current rules. It's a natural conflict between genetic warriors and ability users. The two energy fluctuations are a bad omen. Dawn City is the most dangerous place, so it shouldn't be left behind. Aiya, let's not talk about this for now. Tell me, should I join the Bounty Hunter Guild?"
This was a matter of life and death for Huang Fei. Huang Fei did not discuss it with Han Ruofeng but with Gao Qi. This made Gao Qi feel flattered and pressured at the same time.
"Fei Ge, I only want to ask one thing. Why didn't John look for Boss Han or anyone else but you?"
Huang Fei smiled and said proudly, "Because of my ability. I'm the only one, and they urgently need my ability."
Gao Qi nodded, and then he said with a serious face, "Brother Fei, I can't give you a clear suggestion, because this is a matter of life and death, so I can only ask you one question. You have to think about it before you answer. That is, are you willing to change your current lifestyle? Can you change it? "
