“Eh?”

On the way back to school, Chen Yu vaguely heard some movement. He stopped and looked back. “What happened at the stadium?”

“What happened?” Duan Ye followed Chen Yu’s line of sight.

“It seems a little chaotic.”

“There were too many people. Did a stampede happen?”

“Maybe.”

Nodding, Chen Yu ignored him and continued to move forward. “Have fun today. I’ll treat you to some barbecue..”

Duan Ye: “Great!”

Chen Yu: “Forbidden, great!”

Duan Ye: “Forbidden, great!”

Bahuang Yao: “...”

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bahuang Yao’s slightly ugly expression. Chen Yu frowned. “Xiao Yao, what happened to you? Did you get hurt in the elimination round?”

“No... I’m not injured...” The girl hugged the Ghost-Faced Giant Lizard egg and raised her head. “I don’t know why, but my heart is beating a little fast. I keep feeling like something is going to happen.”

“You must be excited about winning the championship,” Duan Ye said casually. “Look at how useless you are. This is nothing. Winning the championship in the group arena tomorrow will be awesome.”

“No.” Bahuang Yao shook her head. “I... Before my mother passed away, I had this feeling too. That’s why I’m not feeling too well.”

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and took the Ghost-Faced Giant Lizard egg from her arms. “Let me carry it. Perhaps you’re too flat and it is suppressing your heart.”

Bahuang Yao: “...”

Duan Ye: “That shouldn’t be. Without fat, wouldn’t the sternum be able to block it?”

Bahuang Yao: “...”

Chen Yu: “Ignorant and incompetent thing. Fat has a buffer function, understand?”

Bahuang Yao: “...”

Duan Ye said, “That bone also has a buffer function! That egg is pressed against her chest, and the bone is blocking it, but it can’t interfere with her heart.”

Bahuang Yao said, “...I... Let’s go eat. My heart Isn’t beating anymore.”

Chen Yu and Duan Ye said, “Okay.”

Ten minutes later.

The three of them randomly found an ordinary barbecue shop and chose a private room. They ordered their favorite food and chatted as they waited.

“In the end, I still didn’t get that Martial Arts Holy Book.” Duan Ye sighed. “But it’s not bad to give it to God Yi. With our relationship, it might be possible to borrow it.”

“Bahuang Yi is also a mage. How could he lend it to you?” Chen Yu took a sip of tea and suddenly thought of a problem. “Oh right, did you buy your phone?”

“I’ll buy it after the group arena ends.”

Duan Ye rubbed his hands. “I heard that the top ten of the group arena can also have prize money. If you have the money, you can buy the 48 phone in the advertisement. It will automatically explode when the man and the machine are separated by ten meters. It can also be used as a bomb at critical moments.”

“I hope you buy it earlier. It’s best if you buy it tonight.”

“No, I’ll buy it after the group arena.”

“...Tomorrow will come back to tomorrow.”

“We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Putting down the teacup, Chen Yu and Duan Ye looked at each other for a long time before nodding. “Alright then. This joke will play us to our deaths.”

Duan Ye laughed. “That would be the most romantic thing.”

At the side, Bahuang Yao tilted her head in confusion. “What exactly are you guys talking about?”

Chen Yu said, “It’s an adult’s matter. Children shouldn’t interrupt.”

“Right.” Duan Ye agreed. “Children should stay out of their parents’ matters.”

Bahuang Yao: “...”

Not long after, the dishes were served.

The waiter lit the stove and placed slices of thick beef on the rack to roast. At the same time, he brought three plates of purple potatoes and placed them in front of Chen Yu and the other two.

“This is our signature purple potato. The meat will take a while to cook. Everyone, please try this first to fill your stomach.”

After saying that, the waiter left for the time being.

Bahuang Yao licked her lips, picked up the purple potato, pushed aside the thin layer of skin, and carefully took a bite. He frowned. “Hmm... The taste is a little strange.”

“Strange?” Duan Ye was curious. He picked up the purple potato on the plate and took a big bite, savoring it carefully. “Hmm... Emmmmm. Don’t say it, it’s really a little strange. It feels like poop. It’s very astringent and a little sour. Chew it carefully, and it’s a little bitter...”

“That’s not right.” Chen Yu swallowed the purple potato in his mouth. “It doesn’t taste like this.”

“...” Bahuang Yao held the purple potato with an expressionless face.

She no longer had any appetite.

...

10 PM.

After eating, when they came out, the three of them realized that it was already raining outside.

Bean-sized raindrops hit their faces. Just by standing under the eaves of the house, their pants legs were already wet.

“What should we do? Should I make a call?” Duan Ye asked.

“You f*cking lost your phone!” Chen Yu slapped Duan Ye’s head. “Lost it! Lost it!”

“How about... We just walk in the rain?” Bahuang Yao played with the rain, showing her tiger teeth happily.

“That’s fine. As a martial artist, why would you be afraid of the rain?”

The three of them came to a consensus and rushed into the rain decisively.

No matter how the water dripped on their faces, bodies, and feet, they were soon drenched.

Crack–

A bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky and lit up half of the world.

Rolling thunder started to sound one after another.

Boom...

Rumble...

“Brother Yu, look.” Duan Ye was inexplicably excited. He wiped the rain off his face and pointed across the street. “There are also three idiots walking across the street in the rain.”

Slap!

Chen Yu slapped him again. “That’s a mirror!”

Duan Ye said, “Oh... No wonder.”

“It’s almost winter. Why is there still such a big thunderstorm?” Bahuang Yao shrunk behind Chen Yu and looked up at the sky.

“Shh...”

At this moment, Duan Ye suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Listen, is there any strange sound?”

“What sound?” Chen Yu looked around. “Can your ears still function better than mine?”

“Listen...”

Duan Ye closed his eyes. “It’s the sound of music, the music accompanying the music... Time has changed everything into nothing, and the tired eyes are filled with hope...”

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Yu grinned. “Today, there’s only a remnant of my body to welcome the glorious years...”

“In the wind and rain, I’ll dry my bros...”

“After a hesitant struggle, I’m confident that I can change the future, and I ask who can do it...”

The empty street.

The sidewalk under the thunderstorm and strong wind.

The three of them gradually spoke in unison. The more they sang, the louder they became. In the end, they disappeared at the end of the blur together.

...

Creak — Dong!

After parting with his two teammates, Chen Yu returned to the dormitory. He closed the door, put down the Ghost-Faced Giant Lizard egg, took off his wet coat, and entered the bathroom to wash up.

Splash —

The warm water dripped on his body, but it could not drive away even the slightest trace of coldness on his body.

Instead, the more he took a shower, the colder it got.

“Phew...”

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu turned off the shower, lay in front of the mirror, and was in a daze.

He did not know what he was thinking.

His thoughts were very messy.

Memories, conjectures, and guesses were intertwined, but he did not want to comb through them carefully, causing his mind to be in a mess...

After a long time.

He walked out of the bedroom naked and turned on the television as if he had predicted it.

On the television, the sound of the news host’s complicated emotions could be heard..

“Today, a few minutes before the end of the Global University Tournament, the evil organization, the Fair Association, hijacked the broadcasting studio and faced the entire world to broadcast a video that only lasted for a few dozen seconds...”

“In the video, Bahuang Yi, the president of the Student Union of Beijing University, used a special method to divert the direction of the Beast Tide...”

“After the analysis of many professionals and organizations, the video was not fake...”

“After the incident, many online media and forums were systematically attacked by hacker groups and released many photos, videos, logical links, and other evidence against Bahuang Yi...”

“Faced with the iron-clad truth, at 9 pm, the External Publicity Department of Beijing University held a short press conference and officially admitted that the Beast Tide incident in Qingcheng City was caused by Bahuang Yi. Its objective is under investigation...”

“Currently, Bahuang Yi has been controlled...”

Click.

The news broadcast had not ended yet, but Chen Yu had already turned off the television. He silently walked to the bedside and lay down in a ‘F’ shape.

“It’s about the same as what I thought.”

“It should be about this time...”

“...”

“Seize the opportunity and hit the nail on the head.”

“...Too ruthless.”

Taking the phone, Chen Yu looked at the signal in the upper right corner that was getting worse and worse. He suddenly felt a little at a loss.

He did not know what to do.

In this world, there was always something that seemed small, but in fact, no matter how powerful the power was, it could not be shaken.

For example, the will of certain humans...

Rumble.

Outside the window, the thunderstorm was still raging.

In a trance, Chen Yu felt a surge of tiredness and slowly closed his eyes.

But then he opened them.

He sat up and looked at the figure who had appeared out of nowhere by the window. “When did you come in?”

By the window, Bahuang Yi, who was enjoying the rain, turned around and said indifferently, “This is not important.”

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. “Then what’s important?”

Bahuang Yi: “For example, you should put on your clothes first.”

Chen Yu: “...”
