Chapter 1538 – Orientation Party
”How did it go today?” Lin Qiye walked into Chen Han’s office and asked.
Chen Han bitterly shook his head, “There’s no progress, downtown Shangjing is almost turned over by us, and we still haven’t detected any aura related to the gram system …… Do you think it could be a mistake in our judgment?”
Lin Qiye looked at the map of Shangjing city on the wall, and his face became more and more gloomy.
There is no …… why would there be none?
”Perhaps, it’s because we chose the wrong direction.” Lin Qiye spoke contemplatively, “All of our inferences up to this point have been based on the fact that what Migo is looking for comes from the gram system …… If what they are looking for isn’t actually something from the gram mythos, it might make sense.”
”Something that isn’t from the Kek mythos? Then why do they care so much?”
”It’s not clear …… but that’s the only thing that explains why I can’t perceive the slightest hint of the Grammy Mythos and we’ve made no progress in rummaging through the city.”
”If that’s the case, then it’s really tricky.”
Chen Han stood up, his eyes gazing at the map of Shangjing City as he slowly spoke, “Shangjing City covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, with a residential population of more than 20 million people …… If we don’t have a specific target, and we only rely on delineating a piece of the area, when should we find it?”
Lin Qiye stared at the map for a long time and sighed helplessly.
”Since this is the case, we can only take a gamble.”
”[Mortal Dust Divine Realm]?”
”Since all the clues are broken, we can only rely on ‘miracles’.” Lin Qiye casually picked up a ballpoint pen refill from his desk and pinched it on his fingertips as a light golden colored domain quickly opened up.
Chen Han consciously took a few steps backward, leaving Lin Qiye with enough room to maneuver, the latter took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes as a brilliant golden aura flashed from his fingertips!
Whoosh–!
The ballpoint pen quill swept through the air, but instead of flying directly towards the map, it slammed into the lampshade above it, emitting a muffled sound, and then traced a long arc, lightly landing somewhere on the map.
The quill scratched across the map, and the ink stains dotted an area on it, dropping to the ground with a tick.
Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze.
”This is ……,” Chen Han walked up to the map and scrutinized the ink-stained area, her eyebrows rising slightly.
”Shangjing University?” Lin Qiye spoke in surprise, “Such a coincidence?”
”Not only is it Shangjing University, but a few of the surrounding streets are also within the range …… If a ‘miracle’ really did occur, then the range has indeed been greatly reduced.”
Lin Qiye looked at the ink stain on the map and shook his head helplessly, “After a busy day, I can’t imagine that I ended up circling back to the original point …… However, in Shangjing University, I didn’t perceive anything strange ah ……
Perhaps, it’s possible that the ‘miracle’ didn’t take effect this time.”
”In any case, I’ll go ahead and deploy my manpower to focus on searching the vicinity of Shangjing University.” Chen Han immediately turned around and headed out of the house, “There are still two days until the next invasion, we still have time.”
Seeing Chen Han say this, Lin Qiye could only nod, “Alright, I’ll go back and take a look as well.”
Half an hour later, Shangjing University.
”Why is the school so lively today?”
Lin Qiye looked at the crowded open space in the distance, low acoustic sounds came out one after another, and several colored rays of light shot up into the sky, swinging rhythmically to change directions.
Cao Yuan thought for a moment, “Tonight there seems to be a welcome party for Shangjing University …… The venue was set up last night, and now it should be in rehearsal?”
”Orientation party?”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, “No wonder ……”
”I heard that Li Yifei still has a program tonight.”
”Huh?” Lin Qiye spoke in surprise, “He still has a program? It seems like he really did integrate well these past few days ah …… You can go and take a look at it when you’re free tonight.
Let’s split up, I’ll go to the east area, you go to the west area, all the things that don’t look like something that should be in a school, or people who are acting sneaky, should be carefully inspected.”
”Good.”
The two separated on the spot and headed in different directions, Lin Qiye casually picked up a branch and threw it up in the air, when the corner of the branch pointed in a certain direction, he proceeded along that direction while carefully sweeping through the surroundings with his spiritual power.
Luckily, nearly everyone’s attention was attracted by the lively welcome party rehearsal, and no one noticed Lin Qiye’s abnormality, and he just weaved through the campus for ten minutes or so before he suddenly let out a light eep as if he had sensed something.
He looked up and saw that on the fourth floor of the opposite school building, several figures were rapidly flashing.
Fang Mo and Lu Baoyu were weaving in and out of the deserted corridors, blocking the front and back doors of a certain classroom one after the other, and by the edge of the classroom’s window, a boy was gradually backing away in panic.
”Relax, we won’t do anything to you, the outside world doesn’t suit you, you should go back.” Fang Mo’s eyes gazed through his glasses at a white shadow inside the boy by the window and slowly spoke.
”I, I don’t want to go back yet.” The boy shook his head repeatedly, “You guys let me stay outside for one more day, I’ll hang out for one more day and then go back!”
”No way.”
”Please, I …… my dream is to go to another track meet, and there’s a competition tomorrow morning, so you guys just give me a chance!” The boy’s voice was more than a little pleading.
”But you’re using someone else’s body, that’s not fair to him or anyone else.” Lu Baoyu said in a cold voice.
”Sorry.” Fang Mo took a step towards him, “You have to come back with us.”
He gave Lu Baoyu a look, and the two of them simultaneously dashed forward like lightning, the boy by the window clenched his teeth, and the white shadow flew directly out of this body, lightly falling towards the crowd of people below!
Lu Baoyu’s eyes narrowed, he was about to leap down the window to chase after him, when Fang Mo grabbed him.
”You’re crazy, this is a school, jumping from the fourth floor will cause a commotion!”
Lu Baoyu frowned and was about to say something when a figure grasped the white shadow that floated out in his hands and walked in through the door without slowing down.
”Lord Seven Nights?” Fang Mo’s afterglow saw that person and spoke in surprise, “Why are you here?”
”Passed by here, so I came over to take a look, and stopped him for you guys on the way.”
Lin Qiye handed over the white shadow in his hand to Fang Mo, who clasped his shoulders, the latter drooping his head, seemingly very frustrated.
”Alright, don’t be too upset, so what if you possessed someone else and achieved the sprint championship? That’s someone else’s body after all, not your achievements …… Follow Jiang Zhihua and study hard, maybe one day, she can dispel the grievances in your hearts and send you into reincarnation, the regrets of this life may be made up for in the next life.” Lin Qiye opened his mouth to comfort.
The white shadow was in Fang Mo’s hands and sighed helplessly.
”How’s the progress of your quest?” Lin Qiye turned his head to look at Fang Mo.
