194: Section 194

"Since we're all in the same exam hall for today's Martial Arts Exam, it must be fate!"

"Treating you to a meal is nothing. If we can all gather in the New District in the future, I'll treat you every day!"

As soon as he said this, everyone smiled knowingly.

They naturally understood what Lin Yi meant.

Wei Nan nodded, "That's for sure. Everyone here, every single one of us, will definitely get into the New District!"

"By the way, have you all decided which university you want to apply to?"

Zhou Qi nodded, "I plan to go to Longhu University!"

"Holy crap, are you serious? You want to become a Daoist? What are you thinking?" Wei Nan looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Qi laughed, "Being a Daoist isn't bad at all. The main thing is that I've taken a liking to their majors!"

"I'm quite interested in some Dao techniques, and I'm also interested in alchemy, talisman making, and Formations. In short, choosing a university and major is all about following your own interests, right?"

Hearing him say this, Lin Yi and Wei Nan both agreed with his words.

Shen Mengyi smiled gently, "I plan to apply to Lanshan University. My brother helped me choose it. Becoming a physician or pharmacist is pretty good. After all, for a girl, fighting and killing isn't really ideal..."

Lin Yi had already guessed the school she would choose.

"How is your brother doing lately? Has he been in touch?" Lin Yi asked, looking at Shen Mengyi.

As it turned out, Shen Mengyi shook her head gently.

"No. I heard he's on a mission recently, out with the Monster Hunting Team!"

A flicker of worry crossed her eyes.

After all, he was her own brother, even if his desire to control Shen Mengyi had been a bit too strong before.

That was just because he didn't want Shen Mengyi to go down the wrong path.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Yuze was doing it for his sister's own good.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine!" Lin Yi comforted her.

Sun Tao laughed, breaking the mood, "I plan to go to Xingwu University. Isn't it said that you can join the Monster Hunting Bureau from that university?"

"I want to challenge myself. I don't want to live my whole life in mediocrity!"

"Besides, Li Xuewen, Hu Quan, and the others are all the same as me, aiming for Xingwu University!"

"Wei Nan, Lin Yi, what about you two?"

Suddenly, everyone's gaze fell on the two of them.

Wei Nan smiled, "I don't have a specific goal, just as long as I can bring my parents to the New District. As for which university to attend... you'll have to ask Lin Yi!"

"Wherever he goes, I'll follow!"

Seeing Wei Nan say this, they all looked at Lin Yi.

"Probably Xingwu University or Martial Alliance University, I haven't decided yet!"

"However, I'm leaning more towards Xingwu, since I'll be joining the Monster Hunting Bureau in the future anyway!"

Lin Yi smiled in a calm tone.

However, neither Zhou Qi nor Sun Tao were surprised by Lin Yi's decision.

In fact, before Lin Yi even mentioned the university he was aiming for, they had already guessed it.

Simply put, the people Lin Yi knew...

Whether it was Chu Zhengxiong, Qin Zhaoxue, or Captain Han Bin and Captain Mo Ya.

They were all people from the Monster Hunting Bureau.

If Lin Yi really joined the Monster Hunting Bureau in the future, having those 'Seniors' looking out for him...

...would be like having a whole group of backers.

That would be much better than going to a university with no connections and no background.

While they were talking.

The waiter first brought over a split-pot.

Among them, some could eat spicy food, while others couldn't.

That's why they chose a split-pot.

After the hot pot was brought up, vegetables, sliced meat, and fish balls were served one after another.

The group sat there, eating and chatting happily.

However, just as they were halfway through their meal...

Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed that the street outside had become chaotic.

Many students were running in one direction.

Among them, some people from the Martial Arts Police Station and the Public Security Team were also running past.

Seeing this, Wei Nan furrowed his brows into a knot.

"What happened outside?"

"I don't know. Why is everyone running in one direction?" Sun Tao also looked puzzled.

"Let's go, let's go out and take a look!"

Wei Nan put down his chopsticks and walked out of the hot pot restaurant.

It wasn't just the two of them; people at other tables...

...also had their attention drawn by the chaos on the street outside.

They all walked out of the hot pot restaurant one after another.

Not long after, Wei Nan and Sun Tao returned.

"What's going on? What happened outside?" Lin Yi asked quickly.

Wei Nan's expression was somewhat grave, "Someone jumped off a building!"

"What? Jumped off a building?"

Zhou Qi's expression also changed drastically.

But the very next moment, the four of them—Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, Wei Nan, and Shen Mengyi...

...their expressions suddenly became dull and vacant.

Their eyes glazed over, and they slowly stood up from their chairs.

At this moment, they were like puppets that had lost their Souls.

Being led outside by someone, completely devoid of autonomous behavior.

Lin Yi looked at them but didn't speak to disturb them.

Instead, he paid the bill and quietly followed them out.

At this moment, he thought of the staff member he had met earlier that morning when he had just entered the Martial Arts Exam hall.

Back then, it felt as if his Heart-Mind had been attacked.

It was just that Lin Yi hadn't fallen for it, which didn't mean Zhou Qi and Wei Nan had managed to resist it as well.

Lin Yi quietly followed behind them.

Wanting to see what on earth they were going to do...

Chapter 158: Heart-Mind Curse

Lin Yi followed all the way.

Until the four of them—Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi...

...walked out of the hot pot restaurant and arrived on the main street.

The next moment.

He saw their vacant expressions change.

They became bloodthirsty and crazed.

And the other students on the street had all become like this too.

Veins bulged on their foreheads and faces.

It was as if they had instantly transformed into bloodthirsty beasts.

They viciously lunged at the people around them who hadn't changed.

Especially those from the Martial Arts Police Station and the Public Security Team in the crowd.

They were the primary targets.

Lin Yi watched helplessly as several members of the Martial Arts Police Station were tackled to the ground by surrounding students.

Just as Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others turned around to lunge at Lin Yi...

...Lin Yi, who had been prepared, immediately launched a Heart-Mind attack on them.

In an instant, the moment they encountered the Heart-Mind attack...

...their expressions became dazed.

They froze in place.

A dozen seconds later, they immediately regained their senses.

"I, why am I here? Are we done with the hot pot?" Wei Nan looked around.

Following that, Zhou Qi and Sun Tao also recovered their states.

Lin Yi glanced at them, "No time to explain!"

"Those students have gone crazy and are attacking everyone indiscriminately. Help save people!"
