Chapter 12: Pingdu City On the way to Pingdu City, I changed routes several times, ate and slept at temples along the way—didn't want to leave a trail. With the ordination certificate, everything went smoothly. Some temples even gave money to bhikkhus with certificates—amount depending on resources. For the final stop before Pingdu City, I stayed and ate at Longxing Temple in Zhengding. There were many monks, pilgrims, and tourists. That day the abbot had business in Pingdu City. I hitched…-

Chapter 11: Escape (Part Two) Only when I fired my way through the passage did I see clearly: five figures were attacking us. I'd hit three of them. The other two had shields—one got knocked down by Gao Minjun charging from behind, the other's electromagnetic gun went flying. He hesitated, then retreated. That's when I got a good look. Police uniforms. I shouted, "Are you insane? You just killed your own chief—Zhu Shaohua!" Gao Minjun shouted back, "You're the one who's insane! Can't…

Chapter 10: Escape (Part One) In my mind, I could sense Zhu Zhaojie anxiously listening for sounds from my side, her ear pressed tight against the wall. Counting from the day her father reported her missing, she'd been held here one month and three days. I could sense her thoughts, understand her anxiety, but I had no idea how to communicate with her. Then I froze. Right. Ten days ago in the control room, I'd used my will to modify the cultivation game's source code. I didn't know how it…

Chapter 9: The Real and Fake Principal Gao I don't know how long I was out. When I came to, I found myself in a pitch-black room. Whether it was the chamber I hadn't entered before, I had no way of knowing. Too dark to tell. I felt my way to my feet and groped along the wall for a door. No door. Instead, I touched a person and nearly jumped out of my skin. "Who's there?" My voice came out tight. Muffled sounds. The person was trying to speak, but something was stuffed in his…

Chapter 8: Exploring the Secret Chambers Inside the tunnel, I pushed open the door to the left chamber. It was a surveillance room. From here, I could monitor every corner of the school. Some cameras were aimed directly at the washrooms inside the girls' dormitory building. Gao Minjun was an old creep. On the feed from outside the little black room, I spotted Ye Ziping crouched by the ping-pong table, playing on his phone. I searched for the footage of my entry. When I found it, I wiped…

Chapter 7: The One-Month Deadline Grandma had been missing for more than half a month. Everything that had happened had been confirmed from multiple sources to be real. That only made me feel even more lost. I'd originally planned to search for Grandma. No matter who she was, she was my only family. I had no idea where to start, but I couldn't just sit at home doing nothing. Ye Pingsheng reminded me, though, that the CWP investigators were searching for her far more actively than I could. And…

Chapter 6: The Mystery of Grandma's Identity Huh? What? What was Grandma playing at? If she had something to tell me, why not just say it directly? Why make Ye Pingsheng give it to me a month later? Was she trying to kill me with suspense? But from Ye Pingsheng's expression, I really wasn't getting that letter for a month. And Grandma and Ye Pingsheng didn't even seem that close. Just then, Ye Ziping came in. When he saw me at his place, he looked surprised too. I'd originally…

Chapter 5: Go. Don't Come Back Today. Principal Gao was clearly fixated on my cheating on the gaokao. He couldn't figure out how I'd done it. Honestly, neither could I. And I couldn't tell him anything. So I said, "Done what? I have no idea what you're talking about." Of course I knew. I was just playing dumb. "Nothing happens without a reason," Gao Minjun said, his voice tight with urgency. "You obviously didn't know how to answer those exam questions. But you got them right. There has to…

Chapter 4: The Metaverse The place Gao Minjun chose for our talk turned out to be the mysterious little room where all the graduating students had been examined after Meng Ran’s death. At the agreed time, I arrived alone in front of the building. The door was half open. I pushed it open, thinking it would be very dark inside. To my surprise, it was bright. All the lights were on, and with all the equipment inside, the room looked like a film studio. It didn’t feel very large…

Chapter 3: Investigation To tell the truth, if I said I wasn’t panicking, I’d be lying. After all, neither of those two exam results had come from my own real ability. Still, I quickly got my emotions under control. I looked up at Principal Gao and asked, “Principal Gao, why isn’t Ms. Mei here?” The teachers sitting there all froze. Why was I asking about that? I said, “Ms. Mei has always been my homeroom teacher. She knows me best. And during those exam days, she was also the…
