Chapter 70 is related to you.
003 grabbed Xu Xiaoyi's ear and pulled her out of An Jing's arms: "Are you crazy?! Do you know that if you don't get out this time, you'll die? What's wrong with you, actually choosing a major related to mysterious magnetic fields?!"

He was still wearing his training clothes, his hair wet and hanging over his forehead, clearly having rushed over as soon as he received the news after completing a mission.

"You...you always said you'd support me no matter what I study?!" Xu Xiaoyi yelled as she dodged, "I'm an adult, why are you still telling me what to do! Aren't you a lamplighter yourself?! Why can you be one but I can't!"

"Because I'm your brother!!!" 003 shouted angrily, "Change your major! Go now! You have to change!"

"No!" Xu Xiaoyi clung desperately to An Jing's arm, like an octopus that couldn't be dragged away. "An Jing, save me!!!"

An Jing: "?"

She stared blankly as her arm was grabbed, seemingly still reeling from the life-or-death experience of blood and fire.

"An Jing!" 003, seeing that she didn't react, pressed his forehead in exasperation. "Don't protect her! This isn't up to her!"

"Me?" An Jing pointed to herself in confusion. "I think I was dragged here by force."

"I want to be the lamplighter!!" Xu Xiaoyi shouted from behind her. "Don't stop me! I made it out alive this time! I have experience now, and I'm even more determined to be one!"

"Are you crazy..." 003 was so angry he almost had a heart attack, his voice trembling. "You know this is a profession where you risk your life, why did you still choose it?"

“Because…” Xu Xiaoyi’s eyes immediately reddened, and her voice choked up, “because I was afraid you would die.”

003 was taken aback.

“Every time you say you’re going on a mission, I get scared,” she said, crying. “I’m afraid that one day I’ll suddenly get a call saying you’re not coming back. What will I do then?”

“You’re my brother, you’ve always been a hero in everyone’s eyes… People envy me for having a hero brother, but heroes die too. I can’t stop you from going on missions… So at least I have to keep up with you, I can help you too.”

A flicker of hesitation crossed 003's eyes. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he only whispered, "I don't need your help."

"Your safety and well-being is the greatest help you can give me."

"But I don't want to be a child you protect for the rest of my life!" Xu Xiaoyi cried out, her voice trembling with tears. "I want to do what you did, and I want to know the meaning behind those sacrifices. You are willing to sacrifice for others, and I am willing to try for you."

The scene immediately fell silent.

An Jing slowly spoke: "003."

003 looked at her, a hint of anger still on his face, but he had composed himself.

Do you often tell her about your missions?

003 was stunned, then nodded.

"Have you ever considered that there might be a reason why she chose this major?"

003 opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a moment.

“She admires you.” An Jing said calmly. “She has seen you wear the Lamplighter’s uniform since she was a child, and she has seen you shoulder danger alone. Every time you are brave, it is not just a task in her eyes, but the reason why she has light in her heart.”

“You protected her very well, but you also pushed her in your direction.”

003 was silent.

Xu Xiaoyi peeked out half her face and whispered, "I'm not being willful, I really want to help you. You know, there was a time when you were on a mission and lost contact for more than ten hours, and I sat outside your office door and cried all night."

003's lips moved, but he ultimately didn't speak.

An Jing sighed softly: "You can't be her brother and not accept the way she grew up. She just wants to catch up with you."

003 looked at his younger sister with a complicated expression.

An Jing is right.

He liked to talk to Xiaoyi about his mission because Xiaoyi liked to pester him with questions, and 003 was also happy that his sister admired him so much.

However, this also led to her yearning for it. And she didn't change her mind after experiencing it.

If anyone's to blame, it's him.

After a long pause, he finally sighed and lowered his voice: "Even if you want to choose, you have to wait until you pass the physical test, and pass all three subjects: combat theory, emergency strategy, and basic esoteric studies. Otherwise, you won't be selected."

Xu Xiaoyi nodded vigorously: "Okay! I'm sure I'll pass the exam! Just don't stop me!"

"Don't get excited, I haven't agreed yet." 003 glared at her. "If you fail even one subject, I'll personally handle the transfer procedures for you."

Xu Xiaoyi muttered softly, "How do you know if I'll fail or not?"

"I am a specially appointed teacher at the school."

003's words startled Xu Xiaoyi, An Jing, and the other two, making them stand at attention.

This is the deterrent power of a teacher.

"Okay! I swear!" She quickly flashed a V-sign. "I promise I won't slack off in class, leave early, watch dramas, or play on my phone."

"...Stop talking nonsense, actions speak louder than words." 003 interrupted her expressionlessly.

A group of people who had just escaped from a life-or-death situation nearby stared in disbelief.

009 scratched his head and muttered to himself, "This...this is a parent-teacher conference?"

005 paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "No, it's a war between teenage siblings."

Seeing that the two siblings seemed to have reached an agreement, An Jing lowered his head to look at his book.

A few days later, the initial mission was completed, and the follow-up work began in full swing.

All other ordinary people rescued from the hot pot restaurant were taken away by the logistics department of the 404 Special Service for comprehensive physical examinations and secret contamination screenings, and have begun a fourteen-day physical and psychological isolation period.

An Jing, Xu Xiaoyi, Shao Ling, and Bai Tianjiao, as students majoring in the "Light Bearer" program, were not placed in unified quarantine due to their special circumstances. Instead, they were subject to special supervision through a task observation mechanism established by the school to ensure that they would not fall behind due to prolonged absences from classes, while also closely monitoring whether they would exhibit any mysterious infections or behavioral deviations.

However, compared to the examination itself, what gave An Jing a bigger headache was... that mysterious prop that stubbornly clung to her.

That notebook and pen.

She had handed it over to the Special Service immediately, personally handing it to 005, who then sealed it in a Class B storage cabinet in the 404 Security Department.

She had absolutely no interest in such a dangerous prop.

The next day before class, she opened her backpack and saw it lying quietly on the top shelf, across her textbooks, like a loyal dog waiting for her to pat its head.

She remained silent for ten seconds, then called 005 after class.

"I feel like I'm possessed by something unclean! I don't want this prop!!"

"I don't want it!!"

She practically roared at 005.

So weird.

After 005 arrived at the school to pick up the book, he returned to the Special Agent's Office. The sealed cabinet had just been reopened, and before the book could be put in, the book vanished into thin air with a "whoosh."

005: "?"

That's really filthy.

An Jing turned around.
