‘His parents had participated in the Battle of the Tianyuan calendar. After that, they went missing due to an investigation by the headquarters to deal with an incident in the pseudo-world. They were ruled dead thereafter.

‘It seems like his parents left because they lacked the correct guidance of their values.

‘In fact, he was probably influenced by the pseudo-world during the attack. Under that kind of environment, the influence of the pseudo-world caused him to overreact.

‘Such an outstanding student would never act like this.’

Looking at this piece of information, the anger in Lin Shan’s heart gradually calmed down.

From this information, this should be the model student of Linjiang’s top high school this year, a popular candidate for the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

He was walking his parents’ paths.

To people like Lin Shan, Bai Yu’s parents were worthy enough to be called heroes.

If nothing went wrong, he would be another pillar of support to the human race in the future to fight against the mysterious, exotic beasts, and alien races.

“Alright.”

Lin Shan closed the file with a waning interest. The thought of teaching Bai Yu a lesson was immediately dispelled.

“That’s it. You’ll have to go through a mental evaluation later. If the contamination is below fifteen percent, you’re good to go.

“Don’t go near the residential area for the time being.

“During this period of time, there will be people from the bureau and the police station to clean up the entire residential area. If you go near it, it might cause a second danger.”

The violent girl suddenly became gentle, causing Bai Yu to panic. “Miss, my phone and wallet are still inside. If I don’t go back, I’ll probably have to sleep at the police station tonight.”

Other than the tape and rope, there was nothing else that he carried with him.

Lin Shan rolled her eyes at him. “We’ll talk about it after I get off work. I have to deal with the aftermath of this matter now. Wait for me outside the police station after you finish your evaluation.”

After saying that, Lin Shan got up and left.

Is this woman plotting something? Is she planning on taking revenge for her personal grudge, or did she discover something else?’

His brain spun rapidly as his thoughts were shooting out different ideas at once.

Thinking back to Lin Shan’s gentle and heartache gaze before she left, Bai Yu was even more confused.

There must be something fishy about how she reacted to whatever was mentioned in his file.

“I think I’m going to be monitored for now. The upside is that if something goes wrong with the sealed artifact in my mind, an investigator can deal with it immediately.”

If he could hand over that strange item, Bai Yu would not hesitate at all.

However, this artifact strangely entered his mind.

Bai Yu did not try to take it out. Even if he could, he did not know how to explain it to others and for them to take it out.

There was nothing wrong with the body scan just now. However, if an item suddenly appeared on his body. If it was not courting death, then what was it?

The reason for the female streamer’s mutation had yet to be found. The sudden appearance of this extraordinary item could be analyzed by the authorities to determine the cause of the mutation. At that time, he really would not be able to clear his name even if he crossed his heart and hope to die.

Taking advantage of this short time frame, Bai Yu rested his chin on his hands and pretended to be in a daze. His consciousness had already entered the white space in his mind.

What was different from before was that on the empty wall on the right side of the space, there was a concave looking rectangular box. The box was the same as the female streamer’s one. The lid of the box was half opened.

Bai Yu walked over carefully.

There was nothing unusual about his body.

“This space isolates artifacts like these? This extraordinary item is suppressed, so it doesn’t currently emit any extraordinary power.”

Bai Yu was pleasantly surprised by this discovery. He knew how powerful this thing was when it was in the outside world.

Even after drinking the potion =, his body began to have a distorted reaction after just two minutes of contact.

The paper was held in his hand without any abnormalities.

He also could not feel any mental pollution.

Bai Yu confirmed that this space could isolate strange, extraordinary powers. Of course, he would now prefer to call this space the Brainiac Space.

He studied the piece of paper carefully.

Bai Yu put it back into the box and closed it. Then, he came to the wall with the mission pane.

Beside the mission pane, there was a line of small red words. It did not belong to any of the three levels of difficulty — normal, elite, or nightmare.

[Main Mission: Find the source of this supernatural event!]

[Reward: Ice muscle jade bone technique, and 1,000 points!]

There was no hint, nor was there a time limit. Bai Yu had no clue at the moment, so he could only turn his gaze to the side and focus on something else.

[Congratulations, host, for completing the elite mission. You have obtained 200 subject experience points. Potion formula — Rock Pose, one lucky draw opportunity obtained!]

[Potion: Rock Pose]

[Quality: Normal]

[Requirements: One leaf from the withered bewilderment tree, three drops of tears from the water wyrm crocodile, five grams of white-striped rock powder, 20 milliliters of spirit water. Boil it in a boiler for three minutes.]

[Effect: For one hour after drinking the potion, keep your body in a rock posture and do not make any large movements. You will gain a terrifying defensive power from it. At the same time, it will greatly reduce the hostility and attention of any living creature towards you!]

[Remark: There is no pain effect.]

…

“I can be immovable like a mountain? Huh, the usage of this potion is pretty strange.

“It can only be maintained for an hour. If there are some flaws, it will be fine as long as it can be fixed.”

Bai Yu felt a little regretful. According to the grading of the top student system. Items were divided into six grades — trash, ordinary, rare, limited, epic, and legendary. The rock posture should be considered one of the outstanding ones among the ordinary grade potions.

After all, the only side effect was that if one moved too much, the effects would be lost.

It was much better than that insane Madness Movement potion.

He memorized the formula in his mind. Then, Bai Yu came to the lottery screen and was very interested in this lottery function.

He took a deep breath and pressed the lottery button.

The screen scrolled and all kinds of patterns appeared and disappeared quickly. Finally, it slowly stopped and a diary appeared in the middle of the screen.

[Item: Sturdy Diary]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: Nery sturdy, hard to destroy!]

[Remark: No one knows why the diary is so sturdy, but many people suspect that the reason it is so sturdy is because the designer has considered the situation of using it to fight.]

The cabinet at the bottom of the lottery screen automatically opened, and a rectangular, thin, black diary appeared in the drawer. Although it looked thin, the diary felt heavy in his hand.

“What’s the use of this thing? Is it used as a brick?”

Although he had long given up on his luck, Bai Yu had never expected to draw such a thing.

At this moment, he could not help but suspect that he was being played.

…

Leaving the space, Bai Yu walked out of the interrogation room and went to the evaluation room.

After a series of evaluations, the contamination level was as usual, a big fat zero.

Under the astonished gaze of the evaluator, Bai Yu successfully escaped from the police station.

When he passed by the reception room, he saw the embalmed body of the female streamer.

It was a completely inhuman body with protruding skin, pieces of flesh and blood stuck to the fascia, and ferocious teeth all over its body.

It was still embalmed.

Bai Yu only took a glance and felt extremely disgusted.

It was not that he had never seen a dead person before. However, it was his first time seeing such a fresh and unconventional death happening to someone he used to know.

“It is often a tragedy to come into contact with transcendents rashly.

“Fortunately, I chose to stay in school when I transmigrated. At the very least, I would have stable and safe access to mystical knowledge.”

Bai Yu was feeling slightly emotional from all of this.

Lin Shan was already sitting on the flying car, dressed in leather clothes, waiting quietly for Bai Yu. “Come on, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay. I still have some other details to ask you.”

The flying car was a unique means of transportation in this world. Its appearance was similar to a sports car without tires. It was powered by magic energy and was extremely fast.

Of course, its price was also as expensive as one should expect. In any case, ordinary people would never be able to afford it. Even Bai Yu would have to charge a few years of his rent to buy one..
