Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 15 The Gray Little Man
A man with a silver sword mark on his sleeve asked, slightly unwilling, "Are you sure? It's said that resentment can also be dispelled!"

"Chief Li, I'm quite certain, and this kind of resentment that haunts me after murder can indeed be dispelled." The female teacher's expression turned somewhat grim.

"But you must be level 5 or above to do so."

"Don't you think my students are at least level 5?"

“If it’s really level 5 or higher, you actually won’t have law enforcement power.”

Sergeant Li smiled and didn't say much: "I was just saying it casually, it's really too much trouble for the school."

With that, the group walked away.

Su Yu, with her sharp ears, caught a glimpse of something and sat there, her heart sinking.

The murder happened yesterday, and the investigation is happening today.

Ordinary people don't understand, but he understands very well. It's just that some people feel he has a direct connection.

"Debt, accident, inquiry"

"Family tree, boss, Wu Lang"

"Perhaps we're only one step away from the truth!"

Su Yu didn't even look at the display box, only muttering to himself, "Next time, I don't need to go into detail, just check the newspaper."

"There's still resentment to investigate? As expected, the mystical side has its own methods; it just depends on whether they're willing to use them!"

"Didn't you notice?"

This was both unexpected and reasonable. The entire courtyard had been used as firewood, so what resentment could there be?

"Now, the most important thing is to get started. Once I enter the realm of mystery, my identity will be different."

"As for scholarships..."

The female teacher just now did remind him that the school had scholarships, and when combined with tuition waivers, they weren't bad.

Although this is not enough, it is enough to alleviate the family's financial difficulties.

The money I earned cannot be withdrawn for the time being, but this is possible.

Just then, the noise in the classroom gradually subsided.

The students, like sheep encountering wolves, held their breath and looked towards the front of the classroom.

Su Yu looked up and saw the middle-aged male teacher, carrying a large stack of test papers, push open the classroom door and walk in.

"Now we'll start with a preliminary test, three tests—mathematics, history, and safety—to see how much you remember after the holiday."

"Math exam this morning!"

"History and safety exams this afternoon!"

The classroom was silent for a moment, then a commotion erupted that nearly lifted the roof off.

"No!"

"Teacher, you can't do that!"

Those were the students' cries of agony rising and falling.

"How could you launch a surprise attack?"

Even though he was prepared, Su Yu still felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

The stream allocation exam is here!

As his thoughts sank into the system, the original gray figure remained motionless.

With a gentle tap, the gray humanoid figure transformed into a faint stream of light and vanished from the illusory screen.

Immediately afterwards, a subtle feeling arose from the depths of my heart.

Accompanying this is knowledge.

Su Yu was overjoyed.

"Mathematics, history, and safety—originally, when I reviewed math and recalled knowledge on my own, a lunch break would only give me a rough understanding, but now I've thoroughly grasped the entire book... It only took three hours, this efficiency is amazing!"

"There's enough time. If you finish the math exam and then take the history and security exams, 3 hours should be enough!"

He opened his eyes to find the exam paper already in front of him.

Su Yu held the pen and glanced at the questions; they were all familiar.

After a moment's reflection, many problem-solving strategies clearly emerged, as if I had practiced them hundreds of times.

One question, two questions, and then more than a dozen questions in a row—all were answered very smoothly.

Like flowing clouds and running water, all the knowledge points were grasped, as if after a lot of practice.

"It's equivalent to at least a hundred hours of my own study... It's totally worth it!" "However, compared to ordinary math knowledge, meditation is obviously ridiculously expensive."

"It seems that different knowledge levels have different in-game purchase prices?"

Su Yu seemed to have figured out how the system worked.

Only by spending money can you change your destiny.

"Okay, stop writing! Now pass it on from the back to the front." The teacher's voice was like that of a judge announcing the final verdict.

Soft moans escaped from several people, while others stubbornly continued writing furiously, vying for the last few seconds.

"How did you do on the test?"

After handing in her paper, a female classmate sitting behind Cheng Qiaoqiao couldn't wait any longer and pointed her finger at her back.

"I couldn't remember the second-to-last big question, or the third one." She sounded frustrated.

"Sigh, me too, I just can't figure out the angle no matter what I do," the girl in the white dress said in a calm tone.

Su Yu glanced at her, and a knowing smile immediately appeared on his lips.

...She must have done well on the exam.

When she does well on a test, she'll say this, deliberately pretending that she did poorly.

If you really failed the exam, this is definitely not the attitude you would have.

She's got that little bit of girlish pride and artsy flair.

Su Yu smiled, a sense of longing rising within her.

If time could stand still in this year, and everyone would never grow up, never have to be separated, and could live carefree like this forever... how wonderful that would be?
Life was simple and peaceful. Her mother was still healthy and could occasionally go to and from school with Qiaoqiao.

This kind of life, though seemingly insignificant, has a warmth that has become increasingly rare over time.

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

A faint sense of melancholy and sorrow flowed gently through my heart.

It was as if my fourteen-year-old self and my twenty-four-year-old self existed simultaneously, both lamenting.

"In any case, I am lucky that I was able to turn back time and awaken, so I can undo everything."

"Whether it's Father, Mother, Qiaoqiao, or Mr. Cheng... none of them are allowed to get hurt!"

His gaze seemed too obvious, for the female classmate glanced at him with a slight smile and whispered something to Qiaoqiao.

A faint blush appeared on the latter's fair and pinkish-white neck.

The classroom was bathed in golden light. The lunch break was almost over, but half of the classroom was still empty.

The black-haired girl sat quietly, and when Su Yu passed by, she handed him another piece of candy.

"Here you go." Her tone was casual and brief, seemingly incongruous with the slight blush on her neck.

"Okay." Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

"Remember to come to my house after school," the girl carefully instructed. "Don't make excuses not to come this time."

Su Yu nodded solemnly.

Actually, this was tutoring by Uncle Cheng alone, but at the time I didn't appreciate it and was sometimes reluctant to go.

Looking back now, I wish I could drag my past self out and give him a good scolding.

Fortunately, mistakes can always be rectified.

"History and security exams are coming up soon!"

He focused his mind on the system, and the gray figure remained motionless. Three hours later, he clicked on it, and a familiar feeling washed over him.

[National System Education LV3]

"If elementary school is LV1 and middle school is LV2, then LV3 requires a complete understanding of the knowledge, right?"

"If learning is feasible, what about meditation?"

He immediately opened the interface, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the "Basic Meditation" button deeply.

Beneath the golden hourglass, this time it wasn't just a small amount evaporating, but the entire gray crystal vanished. Su Yu, trembling with fear, saw the notification.

"Resources are insufficient; we can only maintain this high-efficiency meditation for two hours!"

"...Too little..."

It's time to consider open source initiatives...
