Chapter 60 -56: Bloody Mess 2

“Is this the legendary ‘pseudo-girl’?” Lin Fei asked with interest, giving the boy a few more glances. In his eyes, most of the people present were definitely not simple characters. Generally, according to Shueisha’s standards for joining, having a record of murder wasn’t enough, one also needed genuine strength. Thus, those who could enter the organization were definitely not ordinary people.

“Clap, clap, clap!” The leading middle-aged man suddenly started clapping, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

“Now, everyone please check the text on your contact phones. This time, we will not be grouping freely like last time, all pairings are random. Follow the instructions in the text message to collect your booked tickets and then board the plane in order.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Tan Yuan opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Immediately, everyone started pulling out their phones to check their messages.

Lin Fei took out his phone, just opened the flip cover to check the message. The gaze of the two people next to him instantly focused on his phone.

“I’m in Group Four,” Lin Fei said honestly.

“I’m in Group Three.”

“I’m also in Group Three.”

Tan Yuan and Yu Ming responded in succession.

Lin Fei noticed that when he mentioned Group Four, the boy sitting in the right row suddenly lifted his head and looked over.

“Hey, are you also in Group Four?” Lin Fei said with a smile to that person.

He hesitated for a moment but nodded his head.

“Then we’re in the same group,” Lin Fei stood up.

“We are also in Group Four.” A gentle voice came from beside him.

Lin Fei and the boy both looked over, and the middle-aged man in a gray suit smiled as he approached, holding a black flip phone in his hand. Behind him followed a bright and pretty young girl.

“Let me introduce, this is my daughter, Yuanyuan,” the man said with a smile, “We’ll be in your care from now on.”

The girl bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushed as she stood behind the man. She curiously glanced at Lin Fei and the other person, appearing to be about the same age as Lin Fei and seemed introverted and not fond of speaking.

“Alright, that’s it for today. You can go back first.”

Inside an abandoned factory, Lin You withdrew his hand from the ground.

“Today’s performance was a freezing range of 2.11 meters in diameter, an improvement of one centimeter from yesterday. Not bad,” Ice Sister gently nodded and spoke.

“Just one centimeter in a day, so slow. I thought there would be a qualitative change when I tried hard last night. I didn’t expect only one centimeter,” Lin You muttered discontentedly.

“Be content, most psychics are doomed to remain at that level for life from the moment they awaken. They have no room for improvement at all. In comparison, you growth-types are truly deemed to have limitless prospects,” Ice Sister said helplessly as she picked up the precision tape measure from the ground.

“Once you break through three meters, your Energy Value should reach the level where you can release it mid-air. Alright, I’ll go back first,” Ice Sister said, removing the black earpiece she was wearing and then fiddled with some gadgets in the corners of the abandoned factory.

“These interference monitoring devices are getting worse. There’s a lot of noise in the earpiece. What are those people in the equipment department doing all day?” Ice Sister gently shook a small black component in her hand.

“Then, Ice Sister, see you tomorrow.” Lin You said with a smile, hugging a small cat.

“See you tomorrow. But Lin You,” Ice Sister suddenly turned around and said solemnly, “Don’t bring up yesterday’s question again.”

Watching Ice Sister’s figure leave the factory, Lin You gently stroked the soft body of the small black cat, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat forlorn.

“Let’s go, time to go home.” She suddenly smiled, picked up the small bag beside her, and walked out of the factory.

Outside was a green field where several children were running and laughing on the ridges. This location was very close to Ping City No. 1 Middle School. No. 1 Middle School itself was in the suburbs, and it only took a ten-minute walk from here to Lin You’s home.

However, these ten minutes were destined to be anything but peaceful.

Just a few steps out of the factory, a ruffian-looking young man suddenly appeared in front of Lin You. The ruffian wore silver earrings on both ears, two on each side, with deliberately dyed yellow stripes in his white hair. He stood on the narrow path Lin You had to pass on her way home.

“Finally found you,” the ruffian said with a face full of surprise, “I didn’t expect to be the first one from Makka to find you. It seems today is indeed my lucky day. Changing to silver earrings was definitely the right choice.”

“Who are you? What do you want?” Lin You asked, holding the kitten cautiously. By now, after some time in training and on missions, coupled with daily enhancement exercises for her psychic abilities, she was sufficiently stable to handle any surprises in such places. In her own words: “After all, I’ve seen quite a few ‘big scenes.’ A mere ruffian can’t scare me.”

“Who am I?” the ruffian laughed abruptly. “It seems you are just an ordinary person who accidentally got involved. But no matter, hand over the black cat in your arms, and you can go.”

“Black cat?” Lin You was startled and looked down at the kitten in her arms.

“Duck!” a cold female voice suddenly rang out.

The kitten struggled fiercely, scratching Lin You’s hand.

“Ah!” Lin You cried out, instinctively ducking and clutching her hand. Just then, a whooshing sound flew swiftly over her head.

The effects of Lin You’s multiple missions and training immediately became apparent. She decisively leaped away from her original position. Another snap sound followed, and a small cloud of dust burst from the spot where she had been standing.

“Oh, you actually dodged it,” the ruffian said, tossing a small steel ball lightly in his hand, smiling easily.

“You’re so despicable!” Lin You finally realized what had happened and spat out the words with hatred.

Clearly, the ruffian had taken advantage of the moment to launch a sneak attack. Had it not been for that sudden warning from the female voice, the consequences… She dared not imagine what state her head would be in if hit by a steel ball with that force.

Now, looking closely, one could clearly see a small pit on the cement ground where it had been struck.

“Despicable? What is that?” The ruffian scoffed, disdain on his face. He tossed another steel ball, this time much faster than before.

“Ah!”

Lin You couldn’t dodge in time, and her left shoulder was struck squarely, blood quickly seeping from the grazed area.

“Just now I only used half my strength, this time it was full force. How do you like that taste?” the ruffian laughed proudly. “Just hand over that black cat to me, and I’ll let you go. How about that?”

Lin You, clutching her shoulder, was about to agree.

“Don’t agree to him; he’ll silence you afterward!” that cold female voice reappeared in Lin You’s ear.

Lin You immediately hesitated.

“Don’t believe me? Just tell him, ‘You think I don’t know about the Feng Man incident?'” the voice rang out again.

Lin You frowned, hesitated for a moment, and applied pressure on both sides of the wound as an emergency measure.

“You think I don’t know about the Feng Man incident?” she repeated after the voice.

Suddenly, the ruffian’s expression faltered.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just hand it over and die directly? Really.” He gently opened his palm, revealing a handful of small steel balls. “I have fifteen steel balls here. What if I threw them all at once? Could you still dodge them?”

Lin You’s complexion turned grim, her mood plummeting. She realized that the opponent indeed wouldn’t let her go, and as he had said, once he threw all the steel balls, she definitely wouldn’t be able to dodge.

“What should I do? What should I do? Where’s Sister Bing? She just left, right? Maybe she would hear if I spoke louder.”

“Don’t even think about shouting; my steel balls can move faster than your screams,” the ruffian pinpointed her intentions sharply.

Just then, the black cat suddenly walked in front of Lin You.

“Girl, would you like to form an eternal contract with me?” that cold female voice suddenly asked solemnly in Lin You’s ear.
