"Li Dashan, Li Dahai, let me search." The social youth's fingers fiddled on the phone screen: "Found them, wait in the car, we'll leave in ten minutes."

"Okay, thanks."

Li Qingxia responded and took the lead in walking into the car door.

Li Chenqiu glanced at the youth without leaving a trace, then stepped towards the car door. Just as he bent down to enter, a chilling coldness rose from the soles of his feet.

Li Chenqiu paused, but quickly returned to normal, calmly following Li Qingxia to sit in the empty seats in the last row.

The bus had about forty seats, with only two or three empty, and was basically full.

Li Chenqiu lowered his eyes and looked out the window, his brow furrowing unconsciously.

From the moment he got on the bus, his heart had been beating faster for some reason, and his nerves were tense. It was as if his body felt some kind of threat and began to remind himself to be vigilant in all aspects.

But there was nothing unusual in the carriage. Some were sleeping, some were looking at their phones, some were talking, everything was peaceful.

"Hehe, isn't the part-time job I found good? They even provide pick-up and drop-off!" Li Qingxia nudged Li Chenqiu with her elbow.

Li Chenqiu hugged his arms and shrank inward: "My second brother is amazing, he can do anything in City 11..."

Suddenly, Li Chenqiu's voice stopped abruptly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned to look at the connected seats opposite.

There, a young man wearing half-frame glasses and looking refined was sitting by the window, boredly scrolling through short videos.

Just now, Li Chenqiu noticed someone looking at him, a feeling he was very familiar with, cold and with a faint hint of killing intent, just like the gaze at the hotel last time.

Li Qingxia noticed Li Chenqiu's abnormality and asked疑惑地问道: "What's wrong with you?"

"I saw a familiar friend, I'll go say hello." Li Chenqiu replied casually, turned sideways and walked out of the seat, and sat down next to the young man.

The young man glanced at Li Chenqiu in surprise, then continued to watch his phone as if nothing had happened.

Li Qingxia shook Li Chenqiu's arm across the aisle, gestured at the refined young man with her eyes, and put on a puzzled expression.

Li Chenqiu shook his head, using his eyes to signal Li Qingxia not to interfere.

"Tch~" Li Qingxia pouted, turned her head away, and ignored Li Chenqiu.

Time passed slowly, and within ten minutes, several more men came up and filled the entire carriage.

The social youth walked onto the bus and shouted: "We're about to leave, everyone fasten your seat belts."

After speaking, he sat in the driver's seat. After warming up the car for a while, he stepped on the gas pedal and started the vehicle, heading towards North Huangshan.

After fastening his seat belt, Li Chenqiu glanced at the young man next to him. Seeing that the other party had no reaction, he supported his chin with his hand and looked at him silently.

After a minute, the young man showed a look of disgust and said softly: "I'm not gay."

Li Chenqiu grinned: "I'm not gay either."

"Then why are you staring at me?" The young man pushed his glasses and asked without turning his head.

"Hmph, because you also peeked at me!" Li Chenqiu's eyebrows curved slightly: "The hotel that time, have you forgotten?"

As soon as he said this, the young man's hand sliding the video paused, but his expression did not change at all.

He put down his phone and looked at Li Chenqiu suspiciously: "What hotel? Am I out of my mind, going to a hotel with a man?"

Li Chenqiu's expression remained normal when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice: "I'm asking you, what does April 16th circled at the hotel mean? What are you going to do in North Huangshan?"

"Are you sick? What circled April 16th? And what am I going to do in North Huangshan? I'm doing a part-time job, what am I doing?" The young man scolded unceremoniously.

"Do you think I can't kill you, Awakened?" Li Chenqiu's expression gradually turned cold. After reaching out and grabbing the young man's palm, he directly cut it with his fingertip.

The young man's pupils trembled, and he clenched his fist to pull it out, but Li Chenqiu's palm was like a crab's claw, immovable.

Two seconds later, the skin around the bloodstain wriggled slightly, and healed in the blink of an eye, only the bright red blood proved that it was not an illusion just now.

"Seeing that your strength is only at the Second Restriction, what qualifications do you have to lie in front of me? I ask what you answer, understand?" Li Chenqiu smiled brightly.

The corner of the young man's mouth curled up: "Are you from the Special Abilities Division or the Security and Intelligence Division?"

"Are you not clear about your situation?" Li Chenqiu asked.

"Do you understand it?" A trace of contempt flashed in the young man's eyes.

At the moment the words fell, dozens of gazes converged on Li Chenqiu, and his heartbeat accelerated at this moment.

The young man smiled with satisfaction after hearing Li Chenqiu's heartbeat:

"Your heart is beating so fast, I can hear it. It seems you don't know anything, just a reckless man who happened to come here.

You take your money, we do our things, we are at peace with each other, don't try to cause any trouble, otherwise even if you are at the top of the Third Restriction, you will die."

The young man smiled playfully, pulled out his palm, and continued to scroll through short videos as if nothing had happened.

But what the young man didn't know was that there were two meanings to an accelerated heartbeat, one was fear, and the other was excitement.

In Li Chenqiu's dark eyes, a trace of imperceptible excitement was revealed, and in this excitement, one could even see a trace of faint madness.

Long-term repression and surging hatred had already imperceptibly changed Li Chenqiu's heart, and madness was the deepest color of his soul.

...

...

The bus finally arrived at the top of the mountain after driving for half an hour. Under the driver's shout, everyone got off the bus one after another.

This was an open-air parking lot. Next to the parking lot was a six-story hotel. After getting off the bus, more than two hundred people were led to an open space by a middle-aged man.

Li Chenqiu stood at the back of the crowd with Li Qingxia, constantly looking at the others, his eyes as if he were looking at stacks of Federal currency.

"Xiao Qiuzi, what happened on the bus just now? Why were you suddenly stared at by so many people?" Li Qingxia asked in a low voice, lowering her head.

"More than half of the forty people on the bus just now were Awakened. They are all in the same group. I offended one of them, so all the other Awakened looked at me," Li Chenqiu said casually.

"Oh, so they are Awakened, no wonder... wait?" Li Qingxia turned her head in astonishment.

Li Chenqiu nodded calmly:

"Don't be nervous, they are not very strong. If they were strong, I would get goosebumps. There is an Awakened who can sense my strength, but he is not flustered, which is intriguing."

"You..." Li Qingxia swallowed, pulled Li Chenqiu back a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "Then... then are they going to attack you and me later?"

"Maybe, but not now. They should be carrying out some mission, and it is not convenient to expose themselves now," Li Chenqiu guessed.

"Then... then let's quickly contact the Special Abilities..."

"North Huangshan is close to the city walls of the Uninhabited Zone, and it's also on the top of the mountain. Do you think your phone will still have a signal? You can only use a satellite phone to call, but I guess the satellite phone is probably useless. If I can think of it, they can definitely think of it, so... let's wait and see!"
