Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Other People's Children

Plop.

Lin Shan was undoubtedly knocked over.

Even though she was an Extraordinary, it didn't mean she possessed exceptional physical strength.

Every time an Extraordinary uses their powers, they pay a price, bringing them closer to madness, with even the risk of losing control.

The moment she saw Baiyu.

She was so scared her brain shook fiercely, her heart raced, feeling like her SAN value was plummeting.

Ordinary mutants have no intelligence, let alone attack suddenly.

But this one.

Not only launched a sneak attack but did so very lewdly.

"Damn, was this person a lustful ghost when alive, and his obsession after deforming made him attack me like this?" Lin Shan was both shocked and furious.

The instant they made contact, she could tell.

This mutant was very weak, pathetically weak, but its attack was purposeful!

No!

That shouldn't be called an attack, who would attack like that!

Lin Shan, wearing only a flowery short shirt on her upper body, couldn't defend against this sudden attack.

The moment she was hit.

Complex patterns emerged on her smooth arm, a dim black light arose: "Die, you sleazy mutant!"

Bang!

Baiyu's entire body was knocked five or six meters away, crashing heavily into the wall.

At this moment.

The ten-minute effect finally wore off!

The effect of the Magic Elixir quickly dissipated, and Baiyu regained his clarity, his intelligence taking back the forefront. The red that covered his body gradually faded, his eyes restored to clarity.

But Lin Shan was already charging at him again.

Seeing the indescribable aura of black light coming from her arm, Baiyu knew that if he took this hit head-on, he'd definitely die.

In a panic.

He quickly shouted, "Stop! I'm a survivor!!"

Shh.

Her palm stopped less than ten centimeters from his forehead.

The black light filled with a destructive aura made Baiyu feel a pang of unease, never before did he feel so close to death.

"I'm the landlord of this building, the survivor of this Extraordinary event. If you don't believe me, there's my student ID in the backpack beside me." Baiyu quickly stood up from the ground, looking cautious.

Strangely enough.

In his crazed state just now, he took that hit without an issue.

Even after coming out of the crazed state, he didn't feel any pain or injury.

And the two hands deformed due to spiritual infection were gradually healing, the split mouths disappeared.

The effect of the Magic Elixir?

Baiyu felt lingering fear.

Normal people caught in an Extraordinary event are extremely dangerous, even with the help of a Magic Elixir, it's very risky.

The incident happened so suddenly, he didn't have time to prepare.

No, he must be more cautious in the future!

Clack!

At this moment, cold handcuffs locked around his wrists.

Lin Shan stared at Baiyu, "I suspect you have a significant connection to this Extraordinary event. Now shut up and slowly explain at the police station!"

Interrogation was an expected procedure, but what's with this woman's gaze!

He hadn't provoked her.

Could it be that time of the month?

Baiyu wondered suspiciously.

...

"Name."

"Baiyu."

"Age."

"Eighteen."

"Gender."

"Do you still need to ask that?"

In the interrogation room.

Baiyu was handcuffed to the table, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

He clearly solved a major problem, collected the Sealing Object, saved the lives of so many residents in the complex, and yet had to endure ruthless interrogation. It was simply inhumane.

It's hard to be a hero, and even harder to be an unsung hero.

"Quickly answer, I don't have time for your quips." Lin Shan tapped her ballpoint pen with a hostile look: "Do you know how many people died this time?

Twenty-seven!

The resulting losses haven't fully come to light and the cause of the incident hasn't been investigated. If you don't want to be locked up, answer truthfully."

"Male!"

"Hmph, next question, why did you attack me?"

"I thought you were a mutant!"

"Then why did you... attack me that way?"

"Attack the vital points! Master said, many humanoid mutants still can't escape human weaknesses, attacking vital points often yields unexpected results!"

Snap.

Lin Shan snapped the ballpoint pen in her hand.

Her beautiful eyes glared at Baiyu, her gaze as sharp as a sword, as if piercing him through.

It was only then that Baiyu got a clear look at the investigator's true appearance.

With a slender and graceful figure, an attractive face, her black hair smoothly draped over her back, her eyes sparkled like soft light, her ethereal and charming appearance left one with a protective impulse.

But recalling this woman's violence, Baiyu couldn't help but feel a chill rise from the soles of his feet.

"Officer Lin, these are his files." Zhou He quickly walked in, placing a stack of documents lightly on the table, then hurried out again.

"Not bad, from primary school to middle school, always a good student, albeit with not much achievement, bit of a slacker, but hasn't done anything outrageous.

But many people tend to make mistakes after entering high school.

Like bullying female classmates, fights, using Magic Elixirs for pranks and such.

These past records, combined with today's Extraordinary event, it's perfectly reasonable to detain you for a month or two. So be honest, and there's still room for leniency."

Lin Shan opened Baiyu's high school file with eager anticipation.

But after reading a few lines, the proud expression on her face gradually froze.

"Top student, outstanding student council official, always ranked first in exams?

The only student in history to score full marks in all subjects?

President of the Student Council at Dongcheng First High, President of the Magic Elixir Society, President of the Ancient Martial Arts Club, one of the ten most inspiring students in Dongcheng? And this, spent four days and nights in the library, finishing seventeen volumes of the Introduction to Mysticism workbook, honored by the school as a model student?

Donated a million to Linjiang First Middle School, established a new type of Magic Elixir Laboratory?"

Reading this almost unbelievable file, Lin Shan felt like she was reading a novel. No, even novels wouldn't dare write such absurd things!

The feats described above could only be accomplished by a monster!

If Zhou He hadn't personally delivered these files, she'd have suspected they were fake.

How could such a person exist?

That child every parent speaks of, someone else's child, actually exists?

Impossible.

She would rather believe she had gone mad.

Lin Shan turned another page.

"Parents were Masters at Lijiang Magic University's Martial Arts School, disappeared three years ago while resolving an S Level Extraordinary event, and are presumed dead to this day.

Annual psychological assessments are all excellent, showing no signs of distortion or mania.

Cheerful and positive, lends a helping hand often, regularly guides classmates, providing psychological and spiritual counseling."

Seeing this.

Lin Shan was slightly taken aback, slightly surprised.

"What, did my invincible record shock you? Yes, I am indeed an all-round top achiever!"

Baiyu broke the silence.

His record was indeed flawless.

When he first read it, even he was surprised. He never knew he was this exceptional!

And this time.

Unusually, Lin Shan didn't retort, instead, looking at Baiyu with an odd gaze.
