If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The bus left the station and moved forward. The passengers in the bus were swaying slightly. The No. 6 bus crossed into the rainy night road. From time to time, the headlights of cars coming from the other side of the two-lane road made the thin figures in the bus and the shadows of the seats blink. It is cast fleetingly on the roof of the car, moving from front to back, appearing and disappearing again.

Chu Zihang sat in his seat and did not move. The female passenger wearing a black raincoat sat diagonally behind him near the rear door. Even after getting into the car, she did not take off the hood of the raincoat, but just lowered her head and fiddled with it. She was holding her cell phone, and the raindrops fell from the brim of her hat and shattered on the ground. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she was almost certainly a younger girl.

When the two of them passed each other just now, Chu Zihang's cursory glance was all attracted by the school badge on the shoulder bag under the raincoat. His vision used to be 1.0, but after the typhoon and rainy night, some changes occurred in his body. His vision reached an astonishing 2.0, because the highest on the vision chart is only 2.0. With his eyesight and memory, it is almost impossible to make a mistake.

He could clearly see the details that passed by him in that moment. He could frame the scene in his mind, freeze it, and chew on it over and over again. The pattern of the silver half-dead World Tree was exactly what he had copied hundreds of times. This time, I could draw the Kassel College emblem with my eyes closed.

What is the chance in this world that he will meet a student from Kassel College again in this coastal city?

Chu Zihang didn't know, he only knew that something with a smaller chance had happened to him (referring to an acquaintance studying abroad at Kassel College), but by some strange combination of circumstances, he missed that opportunity forever. Now that another opportunity was presented to him, how could he not seize it?

The bus approached another stop, and it arrived at Haitang Road. No one got off the bus. The driver didn't even actually stop at the stop because there were no passers-by on the roadside to get on. The bus just slowed down slightly and stepped on the accelerator, passing by. We walked onto the empty platform in the heavy rain and headed towards the next stop, "Metro Line 2 Station".

Chu Zihang glanced sideways at the route sign. Subway Line 2 was the penultimate stop. After the next stop, it was the terminal where the buses parked. Except for the residents living nearby, almost no one would be old. I sat down to the terminal station, so most of the passengers on the bus would get off at the next stop, and then transferred from the bus stop to the subway station in the heavy rain.

Sure enough, after passing Haitang Road, the bus passed through Liyuan. No passengers got off the bus. The bus kept going at 60 kilometers per hour in the rainy night. It drove through the heavy rain and wind and arrived at the subway line 2 platform. Only then did the bus start to slow down. Stop slowly. All the passengers in the car stood up and leaned toward the rear door one after another, including the mysterious girl in a raincoat who looked like a student from Kassel College also stood up and leaned over.

Chu Zihang walked behind her without saying a word and did nothing. He did not say hello abruptly, nor did he ask for contact information in the name of striking up a conversation. He just kept a certain distance from the girl in the raincoat and quietly observed her.

If according to normal people's thinking, a person wants to find a university to the point of going crazy, and suddenly one day meets a student from that university on the street, he will definitely get involved immediately to express his intention, and all these years of doubts and knowledge seeking will be transferred to him. The desire to fall all over the other person's body. And if this university is a normal college, then the student will definitely be very happy to introduce his college to others.

——The premise of all the above is that this college is a normal college.

Unfortunately, as far as Chu Zihang knew from the scraps of information he had collected over the years, Kassel College was not an ordinary private aristocratic university in the strict sense. As far as he knew, this private college was extremely, extremely, extremely exclusive!

The use of three "extremes" is not an exaggeration. As far as Chu Zihang knows, from what he has investigated in various social circles, besides himself, there are also many real geniuses and top students trying to understand and understand the situation. When applying to Kassel College, there are no exceptions. No matter whether you have a prominent family background or outstanding academic performance, you cannot impress the hard-hearted Kassel College. Anyone who expresses any intention to come will be immediately rejected in person, without leaving you a chance to say a word.

The door of Kassel College is almost as if it has been blocked with bricks. There is no keyhole left. People who come out of it will never have much contact with outsiders. There is a kind of student who just enters the college. Ascend, sit upright in the sky and ignore the absurdity of the earthly world.

It sounds ridiculous, but the acquaintance who never ignored Chu Zihang during the six months he was lying on his cell phone proved this fact. Not only is the official xenophobia of the academy, but even the students who enter the academy will be treated with this kind of xenophobia. Due to sexual infection, former relatives and friends seemed to have been abandoned and separated into two different worlds.

Chu Zihang felt that there was an 80% chance that if he rushed up to express his intention and clearly pointed out the place of Kassel College, the girl in the raincoat who was suspected to be a Kassel student would not say anything to him, but would directly turn around. Let's go. If she stalks her, she may be driven away by stress. Once she slips away, I'm afraid she will never have the chance to come into contact with the people and things in this mysterious academy.

He knew that what he should do now was to find the girl's destination, find out where she settled, and make sure that the other party would not move long distances in the short term, and then start to show her intention to come, even if the other party showed xenophobic resistance. Meaning, he can continue to come to the door to work hard, and he can always find out the information he wants after more times.

The bus stopped steadily, the door opened, and the voice broadcast in the bus sounded behind. The girl in the black raincoat got off the bus. Chu Zihang put on the hood of the black raincoat, and another passerby who was separated from the other party also got off the bus.

A total of five people got off the bus. One person got off and hurried away in the opposite direction of the subway station. Four people, including Chu Zihang and the girl in the raincoat, hurried towards the subway station entrance on the other side of the road. As they walked forward, the two of them always kept a distance of one to two passers-by. Chu Zihang paid great attention to covering his face with the body of passers-by. The less often he was seen by the other party, the harder it would be for the other party to realize that he was being followed. .

——Chu Zihang was followed by many girls in high school, so he developed some strange insights (anti-investigation awareness), but now he uses them inexplicably, but he stalks others in turn.

When we got to the subway station, the air temperature had obviously increased, and the flow of people began to increase. Although the time was offset from the evening rush hour, there were many people who couldn't get a taxi and had to take the subway home. Most of them were wearing clothes A few of the raincoats of different colors were carrying umbrellas (it is unwise to hold an umbrella in windy weather). The black raincoat Chu Zihang was wearing was very common and very consistent with the clothes and clothes of the stalker. He stood in the crowd from a distance and stared at the girl in the raincoat. Hard to notice.

The subway entered the station and people were getting on the train. Before getting on the subway, Chu Zihang looked up at the route map and determined the approximate stop for the girl in the raincoat to get off. He hurried into the subway and found a seat far away from the girl in the raincoat and sat down. He no longer focused his gaze on the other person, even out of the corner of his eye, and completely blended into the crowd.

The girl in the raincoat suddenly didn't realize that she was being followed. Although she had received professional anti-reconnaissance training, the boy who followed her this time avoided all possible mistakes during the first tracking, even from beginning to end. No one glanced at her upper body, all eyes were on her feet. Even if she occasionally circled around, she would never meet her eyes, so she would not notice the fact that she was being followed.

Now standing in the subway, wearing a raincoat, her energy is not on counter-reconnaissance. Instead, she lifts her watch from time to time to pay attention to the time. She frowns and looks at a station near the end of the subway route map, and speaks unconsciously. Whispering softly: I must catch up...

Anyone who lives in a coastal city will find that the site called "Babaoshan" that the girl in the raincoat is looking at is an abandoned factory cluster near the outskirts of the city. It is filled with a large number of homeless people and lifeless buildings. A young Why would the girl go to this place on a rainy night?

No one could guess, and Chu Zihang wasn't guessing either. He was wearing a raincoat hood and leaning against the corner of his seat, pretending to take a nap. The pupils in the hood glowed with an invisible, ethereal golden color due to the high concentration of emotions.

On this rainy night, no matter where the girl in the raincoat carrying the Kassel College badge went, he would follow her.
