C26 [gao Lun.]

"You are... a junior high school student?" Zhao Lei looked at Gan Qi's school uniform and felt that it was a little familiar.

"No, no... No..." Gan Qi lowered her head in embarrassment. As a senior high school student, she was wearing a junior high school uniform. It was indeed a little embarrassing.

"I am from No. 1 High School. I thought you were a junior sister! Haha!" Zhao Lei saw the awkwardness in Gan Qi's expression and quickly made up an excuse.

"I am also from No. 1 High School..." Gan Qi said.

"What a coincidence. Which class are you in?" Zhao Lei quickly asked.

"Class 2."

"I am also from Class 2. Why haven't I heard of you before?" Zhao Lei thought about it for a while. In his memory, there seemed to be no one called Gan Qi in the class.

"I am from the second grade..." Gan Qi said with a little embarrassment.

The atmosphere fell into a short awkwardness.

Zhao Lei felt a stomachache. He had just taken advantage of her and called her a junior sister. Now, retribution was coming! He didn't expect that he was her junior brother. "Senior sister, are you going to class? I am so envious. I haven't been to class for almost a month."

Hearing Zhao Lei call her senior sister, Gan Qi's ears turned red. Her voice was even softer than a mosquito's. "Mmm, there are more classes in the second grade."

"Senior sister, what class are you in?" Zhao Lei was still curious about the teaching style of the second grade.

"Assistant Department."

"That's not right. Senior sister, you are already in the second grade. Even if you are not in the Combat Department, you shouldn't be bullied by the hooligans."

"I... I don't have the ability to fight. What I awakened is the spirit attribute, and it is a relatively ordinary perception type spirit attribute."

"Spirit attribute is already very rare, so how can it be ordinary?" Zhao Lei could only comfort her. After all, he was not sure about the spirit attribute.

"But my family's financial situation is simply not enough to support..." Gan Qi was a little disappointed, but when she thought of Zhao Lei watching from the side, she immediately patted her face and got up. She smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you are the wind attribute, right? I'm so envious of you. You have such a good cultivation in the early stage, and you are so powerful. You must work hard."

"Then I will borrow Senior Sister's auspicious words." Zhao Lei smiled bitterly in his heart. No matter who you envied, it was better than you envying me. In terms of difficulty, there should be no one else who had four types of elements.

"Junior Brother, what level have you cultivated your wind attribute to? I didn't even have the time to react just now. I can't find anyone in the second year who is more proficient than you in wind attribute."

"Of course not. The first year has always been filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. My level is not embarrassing at all." Zhao Lei did not want to reveal too much at the moment, so he just casually brushed it off. He had not restrained his anger just now, and he had directly used all of his wind attribute. If it was normal, Zhao Lei would definitely not go overboard.

"Pfft ~ Junior Brother, you are too modest. If you were a three-legged cat, I would be ashamed of myself."

"Senior Sister, I don't know if I should say something." Zhao Lei suddenly became serious.

Gan Qi obediently closed her mouth and raised her head to wait for Zhao Lei's next words.

"I hope you can be more confident. Even if there are difficulties, don't casually say it out loud. Just grit your teeth and overcome it. You will definitely be even better."

"But... I'm a psychic."

"There's no ‘but'. Senior Sister, do you think I'm easy to deal with? When the time comes for the class test, I will let you know that everyone has different difficulties. No matter how much you cry, no one can help you solve it. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."

"Is that so..." Seeing the resolute gaze of Zhao Lei, Gan Qi, who had an extraordinary perception, could feel the sorrow hidden deep in Zhao Lei's heart.

"Even the little thug just now dared to say that he surpassed me. Senior Sister, what reason do you have to be so timid when you are a psychic?"

Zhao Lei's words awakened Gan Qi's wavering confidence. She, who had always been confused, seemed to have seen a bright path.

"I will work hard, Junior Brother!" Gan Qi clenched her fists and said firmly.

Zhao Lei said goodbye to Gan Qi and rushed back to the school. He wanted to confirm whether the teacher could help him or not. Otherwise, he would have to queue up for the exam at noon.

"Zi Xun, how is your progress?" Fei San pushed up his glasses and sat on the chair in the office.

“We still don’t have enough clues. Gao Lun is too cunning. Every time he leaves behind a clue, he’s baiting us.” Du Zixun was unwilling to give up.

“We still haven’t found the altar… I’m afraid that if we keep dragging this on, it might cause a huge disaster.” Fei San lit a cigarette and took a deep breath as he looked at the floor.

“But we can be sure that Gao Lun will extend his hand to Miao Cang in Class One.” Although Du Zixun knew this information, she couldn’t be happy.

“The problem now lies with Miao Cang. It’s impossible for us to protect Miao Cang at all times. This will definitely alert Gao Lun, but we can’t ignore Miao Cang. Otherwise, he will be in danger at any time. I wonder if telling this to his parents will be better?” Fei San frowned as he asked.

“Miao Cang doesn’t have parents. He came from the safe orphanage.”

“That’s troublesome! After so many years, Gao Lun is still unwilling to leave this city. He must have a reason for it. We’ve followed this line for three or four years, but the progress is simply too horrible to bear.” Fei San sighed. The smoke coming out of his nose was like his confidence, slowly dissipating.

Du Zixun also fell into silence. She didn’t expect that her first mission would consume her entire youth. Although she didn’t regret it, she definitely didn’t want to give up all her previous efforts.

“There are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Lost City. I don’t even know how many can be saved.” Fei San’s eyes revealed the pain in his heart.

“Can we ask the organization to lend us more people?” Du Zixun asked.

“No. We don’t have enough evidence. The organization will not send too many people to help us. One or two guys who don’t know anything will not be of any use. Instead, they will expose our surveillance. If we alert them, that old fox Gao Lun will definitely hide even deeper.”

“Then we will be trapped in a dead cycle.”

“Although I don’t want to admit it, it’s true.”

“Then I will temporarily stay in the school. I will be responsible for the safety of the students.” Du Zixun really could not think of any other good idea.

“That’s fine too. Leave the outside of the school to me. I will try my best to use the resources I have on hand.” Fei San did not expect that he would actually be in trouble in the Fei Family’s headquarters.

The school gate was wide open. The security guard in a military coat was sitting on a chair and sleeping soundly. Zhao Lei directly walked into the school.

At this time, the students who showed up in the school were basically the second grade. The third grade of the first high school was in another specially set up preparation area. Therefore, there were no third grade students in the main campus.

Zhao Lei did not go to the office. Instead, he ran to the toilet first. He had drunk three cups of soy milk in the morning and almost suffocated to death on the way.

The luxurious toilet was still so dazzling under the sunlight. Zhao Lei did not have time to sigh and rushed in.

After a burst of water, Zhao Lei started to shake. He whistled as he washed his hands. Just as he left the room, Zhao Lei bumped into a middle-aged man in black.

"Are you alright, uncle?" Zhao Lei's body was relatively sturdy, and he almost knocked the uncle down. Luckily, Zhao Lei reacted quickly and grabbed his sleeve.

The moment he pulled, Zhao Lei saw a strange ghost image on his rough palm. The ghost image held a huge axe in one hand and a long halberd in the other.

The moment he saw the ghost image, the ring in Zhao Lei's spiritual world suddenly started to move. This change caught Zhao Lei's attention.

After the uncle stood up, he hurriedly let go of his hand and put his hand back into his pocket. His gloomy expression immediately became kind as he asked, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Young man, why don't you go to class? It's not good to skip classes."

"Uncle, I'm in the first grade. I just asked the teacher about something. I suddenly had an urge to go to the toilet." Zhao Lei thought about a lot of things in an instant. He was sure that there was something fishy about this strange middle-aged man, so he made up a lie to say that the teacher knew that he was coming to the toilet and that he was going to go back to see the teacher immediately.

"Is there still no class in the first grade? It's rare to see a student as hardworking as you," the middle-aged man praised.

"It's just a stupid bird flying first. Uncle, you flatter me." Zhao Lei scratched his head and showed a harmless look. He could feel that the other party was not simple. His eyes were as deep as a bottomless pond, and he exuded the aura of a superior.

"Are you a teacher?" Zhao Lei quickly asked.

The man raised his head and looked at the ceiling. He snorted and said, "Yes, but I retired a while ago."

Suddenly, the potted plants in the bathroom started to move without wind. The door behind him also made a squeaking sound. Zhao Lei's hair stood on end as he felt waves of coldness coming from the uncle in front of him.

"So you are the teacher who came back to visit the school. Then I won't disturb you anymore. The form teacher is still waiting for me." Zhao Lei smiled and scratched his head. He quickly found an excuse to escape.

The man looked at Zhao Lei's back as he left. His eyes narrowed into a slit, and his fierce eyes emitted an ice-cold killing intent. In the end, he resisted it. The man extinguished the elemental power in his pocket and walked towards the toilet with disdain.

In a few seconds, Zhao Lei's ring had given him several warnings. It was the first time that Zhao Lei had seen the ring's function. However, it made his heart jump.

After leaving the bathroom, Zhao Lei gasped for breath. His heart was beating wildly, and his hand that was supporting the wall was trembling slightly.

After a short silence, Zhao Lei wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and left this terrifying place.

Zhao Lei did not dare to show any fear inside. Although he did not see where the danger was, the ring had obviously warned him that the other party had killing intent!

Zhao Lei could not understand. A retired teacher who dared to kill in the school's bathroom. Was this a lunatic or a pervert?

He could only say that he was unlucky. The other party had obviously avoided the peak period when the students went to class. He did not expect to bump into him, and Zhao Lei even saw the mark on the man's hand.

Zhao Lei had no grudges with him. If there was anything that made him want to kill, it would be that Zhao Lei had seen something that he shouldn't have.

The reason he could slip out this time was only because the ring had reminded him in time. Moreover, his reaction was fast enough. Otherwise, Zhao Lei would have been a cold corpse lying in the toilet by now.
