73: Chapter 73 He doesn't want to press it, so he won't!

Su Yun put down his pen.

"If a Strange Tales were to appear in front of me..."

He paused.

Gu Lang watched him.

Two plainclothes investigators were also watching him.

Chu Youwei turned slightly to the side, her fingertips pressing on the corner of her workbook.

The classroom fell silent.

A flash of regret crossed Su Yun's eyes.

Is there really such a good thing?

No, that's not right.

I'm currently playing the role of an ordinary high school student.

Su Yun looked up, his tone righteous: "I would report it to the police immediately."

The tall man frowned: "Just report it to the police?"

Su Yun added: "If the situation permits, I would take photos for evidence, protect the scene, and try to earn myself a chance to be credited for a meritorious service."

The whole class: "..."

Li Hao's eyes lit up: "Brother Yun, you want to earn credit even when a Strange Tales shows up?"

Su Yun looked at him: "Otherwise what? Let it come for nothing?"

Li Hao felt a sense of reverence: "Your perspective is truly broad."

The bespectacled man's pen stopped on the paper.

He had originally prepared to record "fear," "avoidance," and "trauma response."

But Su Yun ended up giving him "actively cooperate with law enforcement, strive for merit."

This level of psychological composure really didn't seem like that of an ordinary student.

The tall man continued to press: "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Su Yun nodded, "That's why I'd report it to the police."

"What if reporting it to the police is useless?"

"Then I'd run."

"What if you can't run away?"

"Then I'd reason with it."

The tall man's eyelid twitched: "Strange Tales can reason?"

Su Yun said earnestly: "How would I know if I don't try?"

Li Hao whispered from the side: "Brother Yun, that's exactly how you talked Old Zhou out of existence last time."

A few people in the classroom couldn't help it and lowered their heads to chuckle.

The tall man looked sharply at Li Hao: "What do you mean?"

Li Hao shrank his neck.

Oh no.

Spoke too soon.

Chu Youwei took over: "In the Pseudo-Human Examination Room incident, Su Yun did indeed use logical loopholes to delay time. The fact that we survived has to do with him."

She spoke steadily.

But quite a few students in the class sat up straight.

They didn't want to experience what happened that day a second time.

But if anyone wanted to use that incident to find trouble for Su Yun, they wouldn't play dumb.

The bespectacled man noticed the change in atmosphere.

He closed his folder and changed his tone: "Everyone, don't be nervous. We are just conducting a safety follow-up. The Investigation Bureau already has a record of Student Su Yun's performance in that incident."

Su Yun looked up: "Is there a bonus?"

The bespectacled man was stunned: "What?"

"A bonus for heroic deeds." Su Yun said, "I saved a whole class."

Li Hao immediately raised his hand: "I can testify! Brother Yun saved me twice! The bonus must be doubled!"

The Homeroom Teacher stood on the podium, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Comrade, if there is indeed a relevant reward, I suggest you follow the procedure. The children have experienced danger; you cannot just have them cooperate with the investigation."

The bespectacled man fell silent.

He was here to investigate someone.

Not to hand out money.

But he couldn't refute this.

The tall man's gaze at Su Yun deepened.

With just one sentence, this teenager turned an interrogation into a claim for compensation.

The rhythm had been taken away.

Gu Lang sat to the side, his fingertips touching the cracked identification chip.

He didn't speak.

Every one of Su Yun's answers just now sounded like an ordinary student.

But the Corpse-eating Dog's reaction couldn't lie.

It was playing dead.

A core of a Strange Talk Sequence was playing dead next to Su Yun.

This was even more absurd than the mission High Command had given him.

The bespectacled man spoke again: "We will report the reward issue to our superiors."

Su Yun nodded: "Thank you."

The tall man suddenly took a grayish-white card from his pocket and placed it on the desk.

"One last check."

The Homeroom Teacher immediately frowned: "Didn't you say it was a routine inspection?"

"A safety check." The tall man said, "It won't harm the students."

There was a thin line on the surface of the card.

Ordinary people couldn't see anything.

But Su Yun could see it very clearly.

It was a simplified version of a Psionic Lock.

If it encountered abnormal spiritual energy, it would leave a burn mark.

If it encountered a Strange Talk Sequence, it would directly sound an alarm.

If it encountered him...

It would most likely be destroyed on the spot.

Su Yun glanced at Gu Lang.

Gu Lang was also looking at the card.

He knew this thing was useless.

The identification chip had already cracked.

This low-spec detection card probably wouldn't even have the chance to cry out in pain.

The tall man pushed the card toward Su Yun: "Press it."

The atmosphere in the classroom tightened again.

Chu Youwei suddenly spoke up: "On what grounds?"

The tall man looked at her.

Chu Youwei did not back down: "You claim to be an inspection team, not the Investigation Bureau's enforcement team. Making students cooperate with an unknown test without official documentation isn't compliant, is it?"

The bespectacled man narrowed his eyes.

This young girl knew quite a lot.

Su Yun glanced at Chu Youwei.

The school beauty was really holding her own today.

The tall man took out his credentials: "This is the authorization."

Chu Youwei glanced at it: "City-level authorization allows for campus inspections, but it does not grant the authority to forcibly test students' bodies."

The Homeroom Teacher's expression also changed.

He walked off the podium and stood in front of Su Yun's desk.

"If you want to conduct a test, please contact the school administration and the guardians."

Li Hao immediately raised his hand: "Right! Brother Yun is still a minor!"

Su Yun reminded him: "I'm an adult."

Li Hao changed his words: "Then he's still a flower of the motherland!"

Su Yun: "..."

Your flowering period is quite long.

The tall man's expression darkened.

He hadn't expected a whole class of students and the teacher to collectively stand in front of Su Yun.

It was clearly written in the files.

After the Pseudo-Human Examination Room incident, Su Yun's behavior was highly abnormal.

Logically, the survivors should fear him.

But now, he was like the anchor of this class.

The bespectacled man pressed down on his companion's arm.

"Don't escalate."

He looked at Su Yun, his tone softening a little: "Student Su Yun, you can refuse. But I hope you understand that Linhai City is very dangerous recently. Any abnormality could threaten the people around you."

After this sentence fell.

Gu Lang suddenly looked up.

He felt it.

Su Yun's aura hadn't changed.

But the surroundings grew cold for a moment.

It wasn't the cold released by Gu Lang.

It was something else.

Like someone had opened a door a crack.

There was no light behind the crack.

Su Yun raised his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

The bespectacled man's heart sank.

He was clearly facing only a student.

But for this second, he had the illusion of being stared at by something.

The tall man's right hand instinctively reached toward his cuff.

Gu Lang slammed his hand onto his wrist.

"Don't move."

The tall man was stunned: "Gu Lang?"

Gu Lang stared at Su Yun, his voice very low: "If he doesn't want to press it, he won't."

The tall man lowered his voice: "Do you know what you are saying?"

"I know." Gu Lang said, "This test is meaningless."

The bespectacled man's eyes changed.

This was the mission target.

Lone Wolf was responsible for luring out high-level Strange Tales.

But now, he was preventing the test on Su Yun.

Why?

Su Yun looked at Gu Lang.

There was no previous provocation in Gu Lang's black pupils.

Only a warning after calmness.

Don't provoke him.

At least don't provoke him in the classroom.

Su Yun smiled.
