Wenquxing told me that when the Execution Office was first established, it was staffed by members of the court to carry out tasks. However, even though the court had 180,000 Soldiers, each had their own duties. Initially, they took turns performing duties in the mortal realm. Later, the Execution Office began to open up to those with special abilities, and eventually, Soldiers were no longer needed to form the core members of the Execution Office. Gradually, the Execution Office started to cultivate its own power, leading to situations like Lin Zhao and his entire squad being part of the Execution Office. Lin Zhao should be considered one of the core members of the Execution Office.
“Did you know about me all along?” I asked Lin Zhao with a sideways glance.
“Well, not exactly. But after I fought with you, my Squad Leader told me about you,” Lin Zhao replied without any hint of embarrassment.
“How is the student?” Wenquxing finally got down to business.
“They've already been sent to the hospital, but we still need to keep an eye on them,” I said. “I’m afraid someone is manipulating things from behind the scenes.”
“Manipulating from behind? Do you have any clues?” Wenquxing began to show signs of tension.
“Not at the moment; it seems someone acted secretly before,” I pondered for a moment and added, “They might strike again, so it’s best to prepare quickly.”
“Lin Zhao, tell your Squad Leader that after the drill ends, don’t leave right away. Help me patrol around.”
“Drill? What drill?” I asked curiously.
“The Military Training is ending soon, so of course we need to conduct a drill,” Wenquxing said while stroking his beard, looking quite composed.
So the Military Training was almost over? No wonder those students looked so happy. Wait, does that mean classes will officially start tomorrow? That’s good; it saves me from having nothing to do.
Wenquxing assigned me and Lin Zhao to handle things. As soon as we stepped outside, I asked Lin Zhao about what had happened.
Lin Zhao told me that he had taken our class out for morning practice early in the day. During that time, Weirdo Brother went to the restroom but took a long time to return. So he personally went to check on Weirdo Brother, only to find him lying on the ground holding his stomach.
This was strange; I could believe that eating something weird could cause trouble, but getting sick just from going to the restroom? Did Weirdo Brother eat something in there? Ugh…
I had Lin Zhao take me to the restroom to see if I could find any clues there.
At that time, a restroom next to the playground usually had few visitors, but recently due to Military Training, its usage had increased significantly. Fortunately, it was Weirdo Brother who got affected; if it had been a girl, we would have had to clear the area...
The restroom didn't have anything particularly unusual. We turned around the back of the restroom but found nothing strange. Odd, could it be that I was being overly suspicious?
Forget it, as they say, when soldiers come, block them; when water comes, dam it. I decided it was more necessary to check on Lin Miaomiao at the hospital. I reminded Lin Zhao a few times to stay alert for any signs of trouble and then handed him a few Exorcism Talismans (although they couldn't exorcise evil without infusing them with power, they could temporarily hold beings like Weirdo Brother in place) before hurrying off to the hospital.
I called Red Boy, who was already at Wang Ni's office with Uncle Xing. I asked Red Boy to keep an eye on the school; if anything unexpected happened, both Wang Ni and Red Boy could still use the Exorcism Talismans.
Using Wind Walk, I soared up and down from the rooftops in the county town. Although my Wind Walk wasn't advanced enough to ride the wind yet, I could still jump and land steadily within twenty meters.
Unhindered by traffic or location, I quickly found and entered the hospital where Lin Miaomiao was taken. Of course, Weirdo Brother was also there, and I wanted to ask him about some details regarding his possession.
Inside the hospital, although I hadn't activated my Spiritual Sight, I felt a shadow appear before me. When I carefully opened my Spiritual Sight, I realized it was White Impermanence carrying out his duties. He walked past me as if he hadn't seen me. I ignored him; after all, it's best not to greet White Impermanence, as it might scare both people and spirits...
I learned from the front desk about the locations of Lin Miaomiao and Weirdo Brother, so I hurried over. Coincidentally, they were on the same floor.
Lin Miaomiao only had superficial injuries; most of her bruising had been cleared up by me, so she had basically regained her ability to move. However, Weirdo Brother, who had been lively before being brought in, was now sweating profusely, lying on the hospital bed with a vacant stare.
"What happened?" As soon as I entered the room, I forgot to ask: "How's the doctor?"
"The doctor said we arrived just in time," replied Lin Miaomiao.
Lin Miaomiao seemed fine; could it be that Weirdo Brother had lingering effects?
"If he had come a little later, he could have switched shifts..." Lin Miaomiao said.
Damn, did you have to breathe so heavily? You scared me.
"Have you eaten breakfast?" I asked. Actually, I hadn't eaten yet either, but I hadn't felt much of it with my nerves on edge just now. Now that I suddenly relaxed, my stomach started growling immediately.
"Not yet," Lin Miaomiao replied.
I quickly went downstairs to the hospital cafeteria and bought a bowl of century egg and lean pork congee for Lin Miaomiao. I got myself a bowl of plain congee and a few steamed buns, then brought them back to place in front of Weirdo Brother's bed and started eating with Lin Miaomiao.
Perhaps the aroma of the century egg and lean pork congee was more enticing; before long, Weirdo Brother sat up.
"I'm hungry."
"Lie down; you can't eat anything for the next few hours," I said with my mouth full of bun, my words unclear. "Still thinking about eating? Your life is almost gone, and you're so carefree."
Weirdo Brother had just been through something serious and couldn't eat right away. But now I finally understood the pleasure Uncle Xing must have felt eating in front of me when I first arrived...
So Weirdo Brother desperately swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes, and lay back down, trying not to smell the aroma of the century egg and lean pork congee.
"Is your leg okay?" I asked Lin Miaomiao. "You must never get into a fight with Hong again; he doesn't know his own strength."
Lin Miaomiao stuck out her tongue, buried her face in the bowl of congee, and silently slurped it up.
I shook my head, finished my plain congee in one go, grabbed a big steamed bun, swallowed it in a few bites, and got up to call Lin Zhao. I reported my safety to Lin Zhao and Wang Ni—I almost forgot that Wang Ni was still our homeroom teacher.
Weirdo Brother still needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days, but Lin Miaomiao can already move around by herself, and her check-up results are out—there's nothing serious. So Lin Miaomiao can leave at any time. I quickly reminded Weirdo Brother that he must treat me and Lin Miaomiao to a meal. After all, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't even be in the hospital, and without Lin Miaomiao causing trouble, I wouldn't have had to go to the infirmary, right?
I couldn't get much information from Weirdo Brother, so I instructed the nurses at the hospital to take good care of him and even helped him cover a few hundred in expenses before supporting Lin Miaomiao out of the hospital.
Sigh, just when I finally had some money, it was almost gone again. It seems necessary to pick up some work soon. I wonder if my body can handle earning money.
The hospital is quite a distance from where we live. I could have carried Lin Miaomiao back, but she could take a taxi. I insisted that I was fine and not tired, and then Lin Miaomiao paid for it—perfect!
So, under Lin Miaomiao's disdainful gaze, I hailed a taxi. After she gave the driver our location, the car started moving.
After dropping Lin Miaomiao off at home and helping her back to her bedroom, I rushed straight to school. When I arrived at the Department of Physical Education, I noticed that Uncle Xing still hadn't come in, and Jin was also absent. Even the gatekeeper Old Man and Qing were nowhere to be seen. What’s going on? A collective absence? How irresponsible!
However, Red Boy was casually sitting in Uncle Xing's office chair, playing with an axe that usually sits on Uncle Xing's desk. What the hell, that's a work tool!
I quickly slapped the axe out of Red Boy's hands and dragged him out to the playground. As soon as we arrived at the playground, many people recognized me.
"Look, isn't that the guy who fought with the instructor?" someone pointed at me.
"Yeah, that's him! He ran thirty laps around the field with the instructor."
"This guy is so arrogant; he even dared to hold hands with the goddess senior Lin Miaomiao in public."
What? Who said that last part? Dare to step forward? Let me tell you, not only have I held Lin Miaomiao's hand, but I've also carried her! That'll make you mad! Anyway, you definitely can't beat me...
