Chapter 502: Qiao Mu Private High School

11.45pm, outside the big metal gate on the hill.

Bao Kangle's hand was shaking as he held the key to the door, knowing that the headmaster had already sent the security guard away, but he couldn't help looking to the right and left, stabbing the key several times to get it into the lock and pushing the lever.

"Gada."

The moment the lock hit the ground, Bao Kangle jumped in shock before turning back to Bai Liu, who was following him, with a shaky voice: "Fight, it's open."

"Go on in, then." Bai Liu was calm enough to push open the iron gate and follow the steps up the path.

Bao Kangle, who had never been here before, followed Bai Liu with some trepidation as he stumbled along.

The hills are superbly landscaped, with dense shade everywhere, and shadows of all kinds that occasionally startle Bao Kangle, whose face is already white before he even reaches Gaucho Lake.

Bai Liu ignored Bao Kangle, who was cowering behind him, and after following the signs for a while, the view soon opened up and a calm lake appeared in front of them.

The moon shone brightly on the clean, gentle surface of the lake, and the cool night breeze blew through, ruffling the dead leaves that had fallen on the lake and causing ripples, and the moon halo was so softly blown away that, without the horrific legend of the lake, it would have been a picture-perfect scene, attracting couples in droves, rather than one obsessive senior after another.

Bao Kangle gulped at the thought that something terrible might be hiding at the bottom of the lake and he hid behind Bai Liu, not daring to look directly at the beautiful lake.

Bai Liu's tone was as calm as the surface of this lake: "Here we are."

"What's the bet you're going to make with me?"

"Fight, bet." Bao Kangle looked at the seemingly bottomless water of the lake and began to stutter, "When the moon shines in the middle of this lake at twelve o'clock, bet on which one of us can see and finish this high school exam paper at the bottom of the lake first."

Bai Liu's face was unruffled: "Good."

Meanwhile, the Special Merit Boys' Residence Building.

Lu Yizhan carefully made his way out of his dormitory against the wall. He familiarly avoided several surveillance locations in the corridor and ran over the wall from the back kitchen on the ground floor of the dormitory.

He was going to dive to the bottom of the GCSE lake again tonight to see if he could shelter that GCSE roll prop.

The moment Lu Yizhan managed to escape from the locked dormitory building by scaling the wall and landing on the ground, he was about to let out a long breath of joy when his head turned and his expression froze on his face.

Under the moonlight, a man in a Heretic's Bureau uniform with one eye bandaged walked out slowly, looking at Lu Yizhan, whose expression was frozen in place, and smiling before he spoke, "Brother, I didn't think you'd go back to your old life."

"I can't believe we're playing this wall-scrambling game on a high school campus."

Lu Yizhan collected all the front of his face, his tone gripped down, " Cen Buming, the captain of the Heresy Authority who came to investigate the heresy of Qiao Mu Private High School's Gaokao Lake, how could it be you?"

"Why can't it be me?" The smirk on Cen Buming's face grew more pronounced, almost so pronounced that it bordered on false, "Oh, I remember, how could it be me, the second team captain, when the third team captain Tang Erda, whom Senior had secretly passed the tip-off letter to, ended up coming?"

"Then of course I found my brother's letter halfway through and intercepted it, so that the second team could come over to practice and go out in the field."

Cen Buming hugged his chest as he smirked, "After all, there is the biggest heretic in the whole world here - Bai six - and as the field two team that prioritises heresy hunting, how can we miss it, don't you think so, brother?"

Lu Yizhan's face sank completely, " Cen Buming, you are no longer a hunter, Bai six and my game is none of your business, you cannot interfere with Bai Liu's path."

"Not a hunter anymore? Can't interfere with Bai Liu's path?" The look on Cen Buming's face began to turn cloudy, he couldn't hide his hatred and stared deadly at Lu Yizhan with his one clear yellow eye, " Lu Yizhan, do you know this is the last world line?"

"Do you know what you're doing to yourself?"

"You secretly logged into this world line four years ago without my knowledge, without Tang Erda's knowledge, and without the knowledge of everyone in the Heresy Processing Bureau, and you didn't inform anyone that you had met a Bai Liu who hadn't had time to enter the game yet."

"And yet you didn't kill him."

"I can't believe you spent four years with him and didn't even kill him!"

Cen Buming's expression was almost brutal as he grabbed Lu Yizhan by the collar and pushed him against the back kitchen wall, forcing him to ask, "Do you know what you're doing!"

"You took this and killed Team Dong, killed Team Yu, forced everyone in the Cross Judgement Army into reincarnation to sell their souls one by one, and forced Team Fang to be trapped in that place to never escape."

"-forced you to reincarnate 658 world lines and forced me and Tang Erda to raise crazy people!"

"And now you're actually talking to me." Cen Buming sneered almost hideously, "I'm no longer a hunter, he's got nothing to do with me, and trying to get the more moderate second generation hunter Tang Erda to come over and save this Bai Liu from a heretical crisis."

" Lu Yizhan, do you have shit in your head?"

"It's probably really shit." Lu Yizhan gripped Cen Buming's wrist, and with one hand he moved Cen Buming's hand that had lifted his collar with force, so forceful that it bruised, and then raised his head to look directly at Cen Buming, and there was a fierceness in that gaze as well, "But you can't touch him while I'm here."

All expressions on Cen Buming's face stopped for a second, his temples popped twice, then Cen Buming closed his eyes, he let go and leaned against the wall side by side with Lu Yizhan, he pulled a packet of cigarettes from his breast pocket, shook it twice, bit down on one through the opening and then naturally handed it to Lu Yizhan next to him.

"Are you an adult in this world line and can you smoke it?"

Lu Yizhan paused and took it, but didn't light it, just held it in his mouth, "Quit smoking."

Cen Buming snorted and ordered his own.

The two men smoked wordlessly against the wall, only a scarlet spot burning fiercely in the darkness of the night.

"I hear you're training a third-generation hunter to oversee Bai Liu." Cen Buming snorted in the smoky smoke, "What, Tang Erda, a second generation hunter, you've used up? Don't want it?"

"No." Lu Yizhan's head hurts from listening to Cen Buming's pinned words, and he holds his forehead, "He has other uses."

"Then it seems that I am the only useless scrap left in the hunter's party." Cen Buming said in a bemused tone.

Lu Yizhan's teeth cracked the mouthpiece of his cigarette, a bitter taste of tobacco filling his mouth as he could almost imagine what Cen Buming's next words would be.

"Then you might as well kill ......"

Lu Yizhan took a deep breath and interrupted Cen Buming, "According to the rules of the game between Bai six and me, a retired hunter can no longer interfere in matters of the game between the two sides, and you cannot break the rules of the game."

"That bitch wants me to be a spectator, to know everything and do nothing." Cen Buming disliked back nonchalantly, "You want me to be a spectator too Lu Yizhan ?"

Lu Yizhan felt that anything he said would pale in the eyes of Cen Buming, so he fell painfully silent again.

Arguing with a colleague who has a different viewpoint can be a really traumatic experience.

Cen Buming squeezed out the cigarette with two fingers, he looked back at Lu Yizhan with a dark Buming look in his eyes, "I can be forced to be a spectator to your game in order to keep the game going in the previous world lines, but not the last one."

" Lu Yizhan, you better give me a reasonable explanation for raising this little beast Bai Liu to such an age, or I'll shoot him tonight."

Lu Yizhan was silent for a long, long time:" Bai Liu ...... is not like the other Bai six."

"He's not a bad kid, he doesn't want to get into the game."

"The last Wu Ruishu who thought that way died while you were collecting his body." Cen Buming interrupted Lu Yizhan coldly, "That doesn't convince me."

"And I've found something very interesting, as I'm sure you've discovered."

Cen Buming tugged at the corners of his mouth with a leathery smile, "There's a section of teachers in this school that are players with the headmaster who's at the top."

"Do you know what these idiots have done?"

Cen Buming lifted his eyes and gave Lu Yizhan a cold glance, "They think selling their students is a player too, and despite what you've done so obviously, the idiots have ruled you out because of your superficial features."

"So they sifted through a list of students other than you who were suspected players."

"Do you know who the number one ranked suspect player is?"

Cen Buming looked at Lu Yizhan's momentarily frozen expression as he uttered the name with a mocking smile.

"- It's Bai Liu."

" Lu Yizhan, good people are bad not by the kind of things they would do in a smooth environment, but by the kind of things they would do in a bad and extreme environment."

"Do you think I'm going to believe you when you let this Bai Liu, who grew up in the peaceful environment you tried so hard to create, convince me that he's a good boy by nature?"

"If you really believe that this Bai Liu is a good boy, then do you dare to let him into the game?"

"Do you dare let this Bai Liu into the game, dare let him get to the top in that place where he holds supreme power and desire, and then be sure he won't do anything bad?"

"You wouldn't dare."

Cen Buming's voice went completely cold: "Because we both know that's not possible."

"You've cut off all illegal access to status and money for this Bai Liu, you've left him incapable of even fighting back against the so-called schoolyard bullies, he's now just a weak and fragile unformed mass that hasn't grown up at all and is incapable of doing anything bad at all."

"But don't you dare let him take shape?"

Lu Yizhan's hands are slowly clenched around his body, so tightly that his knuckles turn white.

Cen Buming paused, "I had the second team follow Bai Liu around, and they just informed me that Bai Liu and another student went up near the Gaucho Lake and looked like they should be preparing to head into the lake."

"If Bai Liu comes into contact with heretics and shows any signs of entering the game, I will shoot immediately."

Lu Yizhan snapped his head up.
