That night, Xu Le, who was equally exhausted after completing the entire set of exercises in the dark, entered the bathroom again. After taking a cold shower, he seemed to feel much better. He took out the sharp knife from the hollowed out tile behind the mirror and began to carefully shave his eyebrows in front of the mirror. Every strand of hair was trimmed very carefully. Finally, he applied some Spring Toning Lotion between his eyebrows. He looked at his face in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Le did not have the habit of being narcissistic, nor did he have the intention to make his ordinary face handsome. Even if he did, he would not choose to do it in the wee hours of the morning, unless he was crazy. The advertisement on channel 23 said that this toner could shrink pores, so he had been experimenting with it for the past two months. After scrutinizing his face in front of the mirror for a long time, he confirmed that the pores between his eyebrows were so small that they could not be seen. If he did not use a magnifying glass, he would definitely not be able to tell that there were eyebrows on his smooth skin.
The most distinctive feature of his ordinary face was his pair of eyebrows. Back at the mining pit, Feng Yu had once said that his eyebrows were like knives, too straight, too straight... The purpose of trimming eyebrows was not to make his facial features more supple, but to alter the space between his eyebrows to change his appearance. After all, he did not dare to reveal his true identity. Although the West Woods and Eastwood were extremely far away from the capital ring, who could be sure about the matters of the mortal world? Perhaps at some point in time, someone who had seen Xu Le before would come to Ewha University...
Xu Le's eyebrows were originally as dark as ink, and they were joined together in the middle, looking like a sharp and unstoppable machete. For the past two months, he had been trimming his eyebrows non-stop because he wanted to cut off this pair of straight eyebrows from the middle... The results were not bad. At least, the face in the mirror was indeed slightly different from his original appearance, although the difference was not too obvious.
If Xu Le's eyebrows were previously like machetes, then now, his eyebrows were still as straight as before, but they had become two small throwing knives that were pointing at his temples.
...
…
It was a sleepless night. Xu Le sat in the darkness, staring at the tightly shut iron door. Intuition was actually just a sensitive judgment triggered by countless subtle changes, or even a subconscious judgment. Xu Le was a person who was good at observing things. Feng Yu had once admired this trait of his, so he trusted his own intuition. What did the sudden arrival and silent departure of the principal, the sudden reopening of Xizhimen a few days ago, and the absolute silence at the back gate of the school mean? He smelled the scent of danger, just like on the green grassland on the other side of the electronic fence, there seemed to be many wild beasts lurking in the grass. What made him uneasy was that he could not find where these dangers were at all.
With his fingers gently stroking the metal handle in his palm, Xu Le narrowed his eyes. He knew that as long as he pushed the button, the front end of the gadget, which looked like a data storage device, would spurt out a strong current. When the accumulated current was used up, it could even eject a sharp dagger. With such a sharp weapon to protect himself, his mood calmed down a little. However, when he thought of the arrogant people in front of the nightclub pulling out their pistols on the street, his heart was no longer so calm.
Years ago, he made two taser batons under the guidance of Feng Yu. In addition to giving one to Li Wei, which indirectly led to the subsequent events, the other one was always by his side for self-defense. It had electrocuted a bison and stunned the police chief. It was affectionately called "handle" by him. When he left Hexi state, the "handle" had been cremated with the chip in the incinerator. The one in his hand was made a month ago. The department he was attending hadn't started their experimental classes yet, but it wasn't difficult to find suitable materials on campus. After ordering some special components online, Xu Le made this thing again and finally gave it a name. It was called:
"Flying Dagger."
The long night passed by as Xu Le waited. The horizon gradually brightened, and the two faint shadows of the moon in the sky above Planet S1 gradually disappeared from the horizon. A kind of gray haze began to cover the sky. The air was filled with the smell of freshness and coolness. The morning breeze blew around Pear Garden, but it blew the light fog closer and closer, thicker and thicker. Although it was already morning, it was still the first morning. The people on campus were still sleeping, and the insects that had been chirping all night felt tired. One by one, they stopped singing. The surroundings were quiet.
Xu Le was already sleepy. He laughed at himself. He thought to himself that he was not as experienced as the uncle in escaping. Just a random thought had made him nervous for an entire night. If this continued, he was afraid that he would die from exhaustion even before the Federation government came to catch him. He opened the window to let the breeze in. Then, he prepared to turn on the lights and go back to bed to catch up on sleep. However, just as his finger was about to touch the touch switch, he heard a strange sound.
The electronic switch of Ewha University's deserted rear iron gate emitted a soft beep. Then, the gate slowly opened in the thin morning fog.
Xu Le looked at this scene in astonishment. His hand tightened around the Flying Dagger. The fact that the iron gate opened without his knowledge could only mean that someone with higher authority in the university had entered a command without his knowledge. If he was still sleeping, he definitely wouldn't have heard the beep. That way, no matter who entered the campus, he wouldn't know. At this moment, although he was astonished, he also let go of the worry in his heart. He believed that the strange guest that was about to arrive was definitely not looking for trouble with him. That was because, regardless of the time period, no one would use such an open and aboveboard method to hunt him down. Furthermore, opening the school gate and capturing him didn't seem to be related at all.
However, this scene did look a little strange. In the thin fog, the iron gate slowly opened, but there wasn't a single person around. It looked like a horror scene that was commonly seen in movies.
A completely black car quickly drove in from the fog, following the road outside the university towards Pear Garden. Just by looking at the dispersing white fog, one could tell how fast the car was traveling. However, at such a speed, the black car didn't make any sound. It looked like a ghost that appeared and disappeared.
What was strange was that when Xu Le saw the black car, he felt that the smell of danger around him seemed to have lessened significantly. His strong curiosity made him walk to the window and secretly peek at the scene. He couldn't understand how such an extremely ordinary looking car without a logo could drive so smoothly and naturally. It even... gave off a lively feeling.
Suddenly, Xu Le noticed that a figure had appeared in the thin fog on campus at some point. It was a female student wearing glasses. She was wearing a set of floral pajamas and hugging a book as she walked sleepily on the road to Pear Garden. There was still some distance to the apartment building, and it had been especially quiet recently. However, there were still students who coveted the beautiful scenery of Pear Garden and came here for their morning study. However, very few students woke up this early for morning study.
At this moment, Xu Le didn't have time to consider why the female student would suddenly appear here. This was because he realized that the figure of the female student, whose eyes were not fully open, was blurry in the fog. And the black car driving in from outside the university didn't seem to have noticed her, continuing to drive at high speed... If nothing unexpected happened, perhaps in a few seconds, that poor female student would be hit by that strange black car and sent flying into the sky to see the scenery of Pear Garden.
There was no time to shout because the person in the car couldn't hear him. Furthermore, Xu Le had a feeling that even if the other party heard him, they wouldn't slow down. As for that sleepy and confused female student, Xu Le didn't dare hope that he could wake her up. Therefore, he directly jumped out of the window and rushed toward the female student as fast as he could. He was even faster than when he was racing with the bison. He directly threw the female student onto the grass by the side of the road!
Just as the two of them fell to the ground, the black car drove past them at high speed like a ghost. It didn't slow down, didn't stop, and didn't even pay attention to the episode that happened here. It only stirred up a few green leaves on the ground as it disappeared into the foggy campus.
The moment Xu Le rushed out, he suddenly felt countless gazes on him. However, following the scene that happened later, those gazes disappeared at the same time. However, at this moment, the youth's mood was somewhat angry. He was angry at that car that didn't care about life or death, so he couldn't care less about these strange feelings. He angrily glared at the back of that black car and cursed under his breath.
...
...
Zhang Xiaomeng endured the pain in her knee and struggled to stand up from the young man's embrace. She glanced in the direction that the black car disappeared in from the corner of her eyes. Incomparable disappointment and anger welled up in her heart. The councilman arranged for her to return to Ewha University in order to make contact with that person. In order to obtain information about that person entering the campus from the back door in the wee hours of the morning, how much effort did the people of S2 put in? She also understood that this kind of coincidental encounter was too risky, but she had no choice... Just as things were developing according to plan, they were interrupted by an accident!
However, when she turned around to look at the person, she was surprised to see a familiar face. Especially the sincere concern on the face and the sincerity in the eyes, it made her remember who the other person was … the person who shared the puppy biscuits with her. Zhang Xiaomeng stared into Xu Le's eyes in shock. She felt as if Xu Le's gaze was like two flying daggers staring into her eyes. For a moment, she panicked and forgot her most important task.
At this time, Xu Le was also stunned. He realized that the girl in his arms was the same innocent girl he met on the bus when school started. His palm felt very soft to the touch. He then realized that he was still hugging her waist and buttocks. A breath of spring hit him in the face, and he suddenly turned into a stiff rock in the Donglin countryside.
When the young man and woman turned into statues, the black car had already passed through the thin mist. In the back seat of the car, a young man about 17 or 18 years old opened his tired eyes and subconsciously looked back.
Beside him, a person who looked like a butler said respectfully, "Please rest assured, young master. Although the family still can't send anyone, the Special Task Force has taken the initiative to send twelve special agents. They will definitely ensure your safety while you study here."
"Uncle Jin, please call me by my name, Tai Zhiyuan," the young man said sincerely. He suddenly laughed bitterly, "I keep feeling like someone was glaring at me just now. It was so fierce, like two throwing knives. It seems that our family is quite annoying in the Federation."
