CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 185:

"How is the job search going today?"

Zhao Qingqing sighed, lamenting that finding a job nowadays is incredibly tough.

Suddenly, she felt envious of Mu Yunchu, who directly got a shop. The main thing is, she has such strong abilities.

Unlike herself...

If pushed to the end, she might have to ask her dad to arrange a job for her.

Or return home to live off her parents.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized she missed Mu Yunchu a little.

Although she has a calm temperament, she’s actually very nice. She even came to save her before.

Zhao Qingqing walked alongside her roommates on the way back to their dorm.

Whether it was because her family was out of town, insufficient financial situation for renting a place outside, or simply like Zhao Qingqing, who enjoyed the lively atmosphere of living in a dorm, the three of them still lived together in the dormitory for the time being.

As they were walking, from a distance, they saw a few men standing in front of the dorm entrance.

Immediately, they found it a bit strange.

What decent men would stand at the entrance of a women’s dorm?

Judging by their age, these men didn’t seem like they were waiting for their girlfriends at the school.

Could it be someone’s parents?

They increasingly felt this speculation was more plausible.

However, walking further, Zhao Qingqing felt some unease.

Because those men’s eyes seemed to be focused on their direction.

And they kept moving as the girls moved.

Could these men want to do something to them?

This feeling of being watched by strangers was very uncomfortable. Zhao Qingqing gave her two roommates a look, who immediately understood, and the three quickened their pace, headed quietly down toward the dormitory.

Even if they’re not bad guys, if they want to hand us flyers, we’d politely refuse.

Unexpectedly, the men directly blocked their way.

Zhao Qingqing: "..."

A few minutes later, Zhao Qingqing and her two roommates found themselves sitting face to face with an older man, feeling awkward.

Although the advisor had phoned ahead, seeing the situation still made them inexplicably scared.

These people... they don’t look like good guys!

No one spoke; the standoff lasted for several minutes, long enough that Zhao Qingqing felt restless and didn’t know what to do.

After observing their reactions for a while, the man finally spoke.

"Ladies, don’t be afraid, start with a self-introduction."

"I am Wei Xianzhong, someone from the government..."

For ordinary people, he couldn’t directly reveal the identity of Branch 749.

This would cause panic.

So in such cases, he would say this.

After seeing the credentials he presented, the tension in Zhao Qingqing’s heart finally eased.

Since they’re from the government, they shouldn’t be bad guys.

She thought to herself.

"I actually have only one question for you."

Before coming here, Wei Xianzhong thought there was a high probability that these four people had issues.

But seeing the reaction of the three girls, as ordinary as it could be, he realized the answer he truly sought must be with the girl named Mu Yunchu.

"A few months ago, did you enter the old campus at night?"

He asked the question with the answer already in mind.

So when asked, Zhao Qingqing gasped sharply.

That horrifying memory swept through her mind in an instant, and her face, which had just recovered a bit, turned pale again.

It was difficult to decide whether to lie or not.

If she lied, there must be a reason why they came directly to ask her.

If she didn’t lie, she couldn’t explain why she entered the forbidden old campus.

So she remained silent for a long time.

"Did you know something happened on the old campus the night before last?"

This was Wei Xianzhong’s second question.

Zhao Qingqing quickly shook her head.

Though she had heard some unreliable rumors in the school group, her intuition told her it was best to pretend to know nothing.

Wei Xianzhong’s smile deepened significantly.

He seemed to have completely seen through their thoughts.

But he didn’t seem inclined to pursue the matter further.

"I remember you should have another roommate." He deliberately paused for a moment, as if it took effort to recall the name from deep in his mind, "Doesn’t she go by Mu Yunchu?"

As soon as Wei Xianzhong mentioned those three words, alarm bells rang in Zhao Qingqing’s mind.

She even had the illusion that this person’s target from the beginning was Yun Chu.

Not knowing how much the other party knew, she could only pretend and respond with vague "I’m not sure" about Mu Yunchu’s matters.

The conversation only lasted a dozen minutes, but Zhao Qingqing felt it was longer than anything else.

It wasn’t until they left that she realized her palms were covered in sweat at some point.

Wiping them dry casually, she suddenly thought she should inform Mu Yunchu of this incident.

She quickly sent a text message to Mu Yunchu about someone specifically coming to the school to inquire about her.

After getting in the car, although it seemed that Wei Xianzhong didn’t learn much from the conversation, he actually obtained key information.

"Let’s head back and go directly to Mu Yunchu."

...

Meanwhile, Mu Yunchu, whom everyone was searching for, was at the amusement park with two ghosts.

Whether it was due to being a weekday, the amusement park wasn’t as crowded as they expected.

However, queuing was still necessary for popular attractions.

But the weather was nice today, and the three of them had plenty of time.

They practically didn’t miss any ride.

From bumper cars to the pirate ship.

From the log flume to the roller coaster.

...

Notably, during this, Ye Zhixia fainted several times from fright.

Li Shang presumed he was asleep and kindly woke him up.

Which resulted in a cycle of repeatedly fainting.

Ye Zhixia: "..."

Sometimes he really hated that he still possessed most human sensations but couldn’t vomit.

And it wasn’t over yet.

Per Li Shang’s request, she insisted on going on the drop tower at least once.

"Don’t you think it’d be a pity not to experience it since we’re already here?"

Ye Zhixia: "..."

This sentence about being here seemed to have a magical curse, making it irresistible.

Anyway, since he had fainted several times, it didn’t matter to faint again.

Mu Yunchu normally wouldn’t object, because she wasn’t afraid of heights.

During the roller coaster, her reaction wasn’t as big as Ye Zhixia’s.

Li Shang thought Ye Zhixia would be the biggest obstacle, and as long as he agreed, no one could stop her from going up.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunchu, who hadn’t spoken, shook her head.

"I won’t go up."

The seriousness of her expression made one wonder if she had a premonition of something.
