14: Chapter 14: Be extremely careful and don't cause any deaths!

Agent Chen Li's report echoed through the communication channel.

Inside the classroom of Grade 12 Class 2, the gazes of the Investigation Bureau agents looking at Su Yun had shifted from viewing him as a monster to viewing him as a deity, or perhaps some kind of extremely dangerous pervert.

Everyone even tightened their grip on their high-energy suppression guns, fearing that if this big shot became unhappy, he might turn around and give them a lesson in workplace management too.

Su Yao stood nearby, seeing these small movements from the agents clearly.

She felt her heart tighten sharply, and a wave of inexplicable irritability rushed straight to her head.

It was so hard to see her younger brother standing here alive today, and he had saved the lives of the whole class by relying on his own wit.

Why should he have to endure these guarded and fearful gazes?

"What are you backing away for!"

Su Yao strode over, blocking in front of Su Yun like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Her face flushed red as she pointed at Agent Chen Li and the other agents.

"My brother is just an ordinary high school student! He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken in his daily life; today was just... just an act of quick thinking to survive!"

An agent standing in the back couldn't help but mutter softly.

"Sister Su... this span of 'quick thinking' is a bit too wide. What kind of good person, when encountering Strange Tales, has their first reaction be to teach them how to throw a corpse, bones and internal organs included, into a pressure cooker to make soup? This isn't quick thinking anymore; this is the professional caliber of a seasoned serial killer, right?"

"Shut up!"

Su Yao glared back fiercely.

She turned around, trying desperately to rationalize Su Yun's behavior in front of everyone.

"He's just bold! His thought process is a bit different from normal people!"

Su Yao waved her hands anxiously.

"Really, don't look at him with those eyes. He's been a bit dim-witted since he was little; he doesn't even know what the concept of fear is. Last night, there were two Advanced Psionic Users fighting outside his window, and he dared to open the window and yell at them!"

When she said this, the classroom went silent instantly.

Agent Chen Li paused, tucked the walkie-talkie back into her waist, and asked with a frown.

"Advanced Psionic Users fighting? When was this? Who?"

Su Yao blurted out.

"Night Owl and Dark Blade! It was on the morning news today. Those two psychos were fighting outside our window in the middle of the night. Su Yun found them noisy, so he pushed open the window, scolded them, and even threatened to call the police to arrest them."

The air froze again.

It was even quieter than when Su Yun had just taken out the B-Level Weird Tale.

Agent Chen Li gasped, feeling like her worldview had been hit by successive mudslides today.

Several agents looked at each other, even lowering their guns, completely dumbfounded.

Night Owl?

That was the rumored S-class lone star of death, known for his brutal methods; the number of Strange Tales and criminals who had died at his hands was countless.

If anyone dared to look at him twice, they might end up taking a Psionic bullet.

Dark Blade?

A famous, crazy rising star among The Watchers, with mysterious movements, who would slice people into pieces at the slightest disagreement.

These two ancestors were fighting outside.

And they were scolded by a high school student opening a window?

And they were scolded away?!

Agent Chen Li swallowed her saliva, and her gaze upon looking at Su Yun again changed completely.

If she had thought Su Yun was a sociopath just a moment ago, now she felt he was simply a living ancestor who feared no authority.

"You... you even dared to scold Night Owl?"

Agent Chen Li felt her voice drifting a bit.

Su Yun stood behind Su Yao and shrugged innocently.

"I just suggested they retake their nine-year compulsory education. Fighting in a residential area in the middle of the night—what if they threw things from a height and damaged the flowers and plants? They have no civic sense."

Hearing this, Chu Youwei, who was standing not far away, suddenly realized everything.

In the morning at his seat, Su Yun had seriously said he supported the city management and the police.

Chu Youwei had thought he was joking at the time, trying to avoid picking a side.

It turned out this wasn't a joke; it was documentary literature based on his own personal experience!

Chu Youwei looked at Su Yun's harmless, delicate face, and a massive storm churned in her heart.

He didn't even put a monster like Night Owl in his eyes; no wonder he could be as calm as picking cabbage at a vegetable market just now when facing the alienated Homeroom Teacher.

This guy might really not be some hidden big shot.

He just had a bit more courage than others.

Just as the atmosphere in the classroom fell into a strange sense of worship, Su Yun suddenly turned his head, his gaze landing on the trembling principal in the corner.

He raised an eyebrow, pointed at the fat man with the beer belly, and said to Agent Chen Li, "Oh, right, Comrade Investigator, I want to file a real-name report."

Agent Chen Li paused, "Report whom?"

"Report our principal."

Su Yun didn't change his expression, his voice crisp.

"He embezzled one million in cafeteria contracting kickbacks, leading the cafeteria supplier to use inferior dead rat meat for cooking, seriously endangering the physical health of the students. Please take him back and investigate immediately."

Hearing this, several agents nearby frowned and looked at the principal in the corner.

If an ordinary person were reported for corruption by name to their face, they would definitely jump up and argue loudly.

However, as soon as the principal heard this, instead of refuting it, he acted as if he had grasped a lifeline, scrambling over.

"Yes, yes, yes! His report is correct! I embezzled! I plead guilty!"

The principal fell to his knees directly in front of Agent Chen Li with a thud, wailing with snot and tears, terrified that if he confessed too slowly, he would offend some unknown existence.

"I confess everything! Those tens of millions are hidden in the safe in my office! Is the amount enough to file a case? Please take me away quickly!"

He even eagerly wanted to hug Agent Chen Li's leg.

"This school is too scary! I want to go to the bureau to take refuge! There definitely aren't things like this in prison, right!"

Agent Chen Li stepped back in disgust.

She pressed her temples irritably and waved at the team members nearby.

"Call the Anti-Corruption Bureau and have them send a car to pick him up. We deal with supernatural events; we don't care about these mundane trifles."

With a safety incident of this level in the school, today's college entrance examination mock test was definitely ruined.

The scene was sealed off by the Investigation Bureau.

The students were lining up to undergo spiritual pollution testing and psychological counseling, and then they were all sent home on holiday.

Su Yao grabbed Su Yun's arm, her tone brooking no argument, "Let's go, come home with your sister. With such a big thing happening today, we must use mugwort to give you a good bath to wash away the bad luck. Don't go out for these few days."

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Go home? Don't go out?

What a joke.

There was a major event at that abandoned factory in the southern part of the city at noon today.

From his sister's memory fragments, he knew that an s-class sequencing weapon was sleeping there.

This was a top-tier divine weapon that could change the entire extraordinary landscape of Linhai City.

It was just a pity that he was a Strange Tale and could not use a sequence weapon specifically meant to pacify Strange Tales.

However.

In this life, his sister obviously wanted to intercept it.

But Su Yun knew better than anyone that the current Su Yao had to risk her life just to deal with a B-Level Weird Tale; going to snatch an s-class sequencing weapon would be suicide.

If she encountered any wanted criminals inside, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And if he were dragged home obediently now, with their mother's top-tier Holy Light radar watching him, it would be as hard as ascending to heaven for him to sneak out again.

Therefore, he absolutely could not go back.

Su Yun's mind raced, and his gaze landed on Chu Youwei, who had just finished her statement and was preparing to leave.

He jerked his hand away from Su Yao, took a step forward, and grabbed Chu Youwei's wrist directly.

Chu Youwei was yanked, stumbling, and collided with his shoulder without any defense, her nose filled with the faint scent of laundry detergent on the boy's school uniform.

"Sister, I can't go back today."

Su Yun kept a straight face, talking nonsense with a serious expression.

Su Yao froze, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two.

"What's wrong? What could be more important than going home?"

Su Yun frantically winked at Chu Youwei, his right thumb pressing hard on her wrist's vital point.

"Classmate Chu Youwei just faced the Strange Tales and suffered great mental trauma. She insists that I accompany her to... to the city Library for self-study; only by immersing herself in the ocean of knowledge can she calm her mood."

Su Yun increased the pressure on her hand, "Right, Classmate Chu Youwei?"

Chu Youwei gasped in pain.

She wanted to retort that she had a private car to pick her up and enough books at home to read.

But when she looked up, she happened to meet Su Yun's dangerous gaze that said, "If you dare to expose me, I'll throw you into the pressure cooker too."

Thinking back to this guy's glorious achievements of scolding Night Owl in the morning and PUA-ing the Strange Tales just now.

Chu Youwei swallowed her saliva.

She was just a Psionic Martial Artist who had only just cultivated to D-level...

She forced herself to swallow the words of refutation and squeezed out an extremely stiff smile.

"Yes... yes. I was scared to death; my legs are soft. I especially need Classmate Su to tutor me one-on-one in... math."

Su Yao looked at her serious younger brother, then at the blushing, head-lowered beautiful school flower.

Their hands were still tightly clasped together.

The worry and tension originally in Su Yao's mind were replaced in this instant by another extremely strong shock.

Immediately after, a wild joy, like an old mother seeing her pig finally learning to root for cabbage, surged into her heart.

Oh!

Case closed!

No wonder!

No wonder today, when facing such a terrifying B-Level Weird Tale, the usually honest and obedient Su Yun would suddenly change like a different person, acting so fierce and fearless!

He even came up with such anti-human logic!

It turned out it was to show off in front of the girl he liked!

This damn adolescent hormone!

It all makes perfect sense now.

When a boy desperately wants to impress a girl he likes, he can indeed explode with potential that transcends common sense.

Never mind teaching Strange Tales how to make soup; even if he were asked to tear apart Strange Tales with his bare hands, he could probably grit his teeth and do it.

"Go! You must go! Reviewing lessons is a big deal; it cannot be delayed!"

Su Yao's face changed immediately, the previous seriousness swept away.

She deftly pulled open her bulletproof vest, fished out five crumpled hundred-yuan bills from inside, and stuffed them into Su Yun's jacket pocket without any explanation.

"After you finish reviewing, take her out for a good meal; don't be stingy! If it's too late, play outside for a while; if you really can't come back... oh well, just be safe!"

Su Yao smiled so hard her eyes almost narrowed into slits.

Su Yun tucked the money away and nodded obediently at Su Yao, "Thanks, Sis. We'll be going now; you stay safe on your mission too."

"Wait!"

Su Yao suddenly lowered her voice.

She carefully fished out a yellowed triangular talisman from her inner pocket and stuffed it tightly into Su Yun's hand.

"Su Yun, keep this close to you; it must never leave your person!"

She was incomparably proud in her heart.

In her past life's memories, this thing had been at the bottom of a box at a Linhai black market stall for three full years.

It wasn't until Strange Tales descended on the black market that it was accidentally activated by someone in a panic.

It protected everyone, allowing them to survive for five minutes under the attack of the A-level Anomalies, successfully waiting for rescue.

Su Yun was going to the Library, in the city center.

He shouldn't encounter anything too dangerous.

It should be enough.

And the other one on the stall was even more Heaven-Defying.

It could allow her to temporarily transform into an S-class Awakened; this was her confidence for going to the southern part of the city today.

The most critical thing was that she had only spent 1000 yuan in total.

She had used only some pocket money to bag this pair of heirlooms.

It was basically free.

This pleasure of using information asymmetry to reap benefits was even more satisfying than having her suddenly awaken S-class Psionic power.

On the surface, she pretended to be nonchalant.

"This was... ahem, specially requested by your sister from our bureau chief; it's a top-tier protective talisman, and it's said to have been consecrated."

"Don't flash it around usually; it can save your life at critical moments!"

Su Yun reached out and took the yellowed triangular talisman, looking down to examine it, but couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Drawn by the bureau chief?

You, a tiny field investigator, could ask for such a life-saving treasure from your bureau chief?

This is probably a treasure you got by using your Rebirth memories to go to some corner and pick up a bargain!

Thinking of this, Su Yun was actually a little envious of his sister's advantage as a Rebirth person with information asymmetry.

But what was even more bizarre was that, upon sensing it slightly, he discovered that the Psionic fluctuations contained within the talisman paper were extremely similar to the holy aura on his mother, Lin Wanqing.

Could it be... that this wasn't bought outside at all, but was something his sister directly scavenged from their parents' bedroom?

Should he go and try it too?

Su Yun calmly tucked the talisman paper into his inner pocket and nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, Sis, I'll definitely keep it on me, even when I shower."

"Alright, don't just stand here."

Su Yao was full of smiles, winking and making faces at Su Yun.

"Hurry and take Classmate Chu Youwei to... ahem, review. Remember, you must be careful, don't get anyone killed!"

Su Yun: "..."

This 'get anyone killed' you're talking about, is it proper?

Feeling the stiff body of Chu Youwei, who was being used as a tool by his side, Su Yun felt a bit helpless too.

Since he had chosen to use Chu Youwei as a shield, there was no helping being misunderstood.

However, he had just saved the lives of everyone in the class, so it wasn't excessive for her to help him cover, right!

Su Yao stood where she was, watching the backs of the two leaving side-by-side, her eyes full of gratification.

In his past life, Su Yun hadn't even had a girlfriend before dying tragically at the hands of Strange Tales; it was truly too regrettable.

"Go with peace of mind; this time, even if you really do get someone killed, your sister will help you explain it to Mom!"

Su Yao muttered silently in her heart, her originally soft gaze instantly becoming incomparably firm.

In this life, no matter what, she must protect her younger brother at all costs!

Even if she has to be enemies with the whole world, she will not hesitate!
