Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 25 Change (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader arttp)

"help?"

After repeating the word, Qiaoqiao looked at Su Yu and suddenly calmed down. Her clear eyes reflected her own image.

It looks so much like it...

My heart is screaming.

Even my heart was trembling slightly.

Su Yu instinctively wanted to look away and avoid her probing gaze, but then she realized... this was an admission of guilt!
Before his rebirth, he had always been like this; it had almost become a habit!
We can't let this get out!
We stared at each other for a long time, and it felt like time had slowed down... It felt like a second or two, or even an hour or two, before we finally heard a faint, ethereal sound in our ears.

"Hmm." The girl lowered her eyes, seemingly somewhat disappointed, but still nodded slightly: "What do you want me to do?"

"The school should have all the old newspapers from the whole town, since they're worthless anyway. I'd like to borrow some."

At present, there are not many local newspapers, and they are not numerous. Many cultural institutions subscribe to and collect them.

However, while the access threshold isn't high, it's not something an ordinary student can do, but Qiaoqiao has connections at the school, so it's possible for her.

"That's easy, I'll help you."

"Let's go, lunch break is almost over, let's go back to the classroom!"

Watching her departing figure, a familiar feeling welled up again.

call……

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, barely managing to maintain her smile.

Only then did he have time to think.

"What exactly did Qiaoqiao dream about? She almost realized I was hiding something."

This is incredible!
Only she in the future would have this ability—to guess most of her thoughts with just a glance… She shouldn’t have it now.

Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but want to shout!

"We need to find out exactly what she knows later."

Ugh.

My mood was clouded over again.

Following them, Su Yu glanced at the sky absentmindedly.

Amidst the desolate and distant clouds, a patch of pristine green peeks through.

The last time they launched an automatic attack, they found an account book from Wu Lang. Combined with their memories from their past life, the truth has almost been revealed.

Even so, the details still need to be confirmed, and then, the killing can proceed!
The difference between the natives and ourselves may lie here: the natives are constantly conforming to society and have a passive personality, while we want to take the initiative.

The enemies were pulled out one by one, and none were left alive.

"You're right, maybe it's just a dream."

"But I still feel like it doesn't seem fake." As they were climbing the stairs together, Cheng Qiaoqiao suddenly said this again, with a hint of doubt: "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

"Maybe you're just worrying too much about me." Su Yu suppressed her coldness and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll go to the same high school as you."

"……Um."

Cheng Qiaoqiao still seemed somewhat heavy-hearted and didn't refute him.

The two walked into their classrooms one after the other, and the originally noisy atmosphere in the classrooms suddenly froze the moment they stepped in.

The students were either sitting or standing, but everyone was frozen in place, staring wide-eyed at Su Yu.

At this moment, something came into Su Yu's view: a B4-sized piece of paper pasted in the center of the blackboard.

Su Yu immediately recognized that it was an emergency copy of notes torn from somewhere.

Someone had scribbled their name and grades in ink on the paper.

Su Yu, Mathematics A, History A, Security A.

Qiaoqiao, Mathematics A-, History A, Safety A.

The students remained silent.

His expression showed a mixture of confusion, curiosity, and amazement.

"I really didn't expect you to not have any fun during the holiday!" A male classmate said to him as he returned to his seat.

"Cough cough."

That's a bit off. Su Yu picked up the water bottle, brought the teacup of black tea to his lips, and subtly glanced around.

Those around him were both happy and worried, but overall, it seemed most people didn't care. Indeed, if they didn't know the inside story, everyone would just treat it as a regular exam.

But in fact, all teachers had given hints as early as last semester.

And, actually, this isn't exactly a secret.

This has been the case in previous years; you can find out the admission criteria by asking around.

However, to be honest, Su Yu did not expect that the first subject allocation exam would start the day after the holiday.

"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao."

Qiaoqiao turned her face away, raised her teacup, and covered her face.

When the teacup was placed back on the saucer, the expression on his face had changed completely, radiating an undisguised joy.

The gloom brought on by the nightmare has been overwhelmed by the good news.

"It seems it really was a dream!"

"He didn't get first place in the dream!"

The classroom was filled with constant whispers, which stopped only when someone opened the front door.

The person who walked into the classroom with a stern face was not the homeroom teacher, but the grade head, accompanied by several unfamiliar teachers.

Su Yu keenly sensed the undisguised mysterious aura emanating from them.

Furthermore, they are somewhat different from the teachers at this school.

"Was it Qiaoqiao who said it? A teacher sent from another school?"

Su Yu began to understand.

"Are they here to proctor the exam?"

The head of the grade had sharp eyes and scanned each student in the class before stepping onto the podium.

"The results list has been posted, and I imagine everyone has already seen it."

The entire classroom was completely silent, except for the echo of his voice.

"Many people waste their youth during the holidays, and their grades have dropped significantly... Fortunately, it's only just begun, and this should serve as a wake-up call!"

Many people silently lowered their heads.

"However, there are also students who deserve praise."

His gaze swept over Cheng Qiaoqiao, he nodded slightly, and then stopped on Su Yu, clearly showing his approval.

"Su Yu has made significant progress during the holiday. He now has A's in all three subjects. You should all learn from him."

Students who get A- in all three subjects can attend intensive classes on weekends, commonly known as "special tutoring".

"Dear students, keep up the good work! Passing any test will get you into the advanced class."

"Students who have already enrolled should not slack off. If their grades drop, they may still be expelled."

When he said those words, Su Yu was suddenly startled. With a slight thought, he saw the golden hourglass slowly light up, and the ashes below visibly increased in size.

The text displayed in a white frame reads: "[+20 Senna (Ashes)]".

"Even if the mission is not completed, the ash can still increase. What is the reason for this?" Su Yu immediately had some ideas.

"Perhaps, just as I think, it's because I changed my destiny."

His mysterious talent was not lost, but rather strengthened. He achieved an excellent score in this important exam and was even promoted to the advanced class.

The difference before and after is enormous.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it changed her destiny.

"So, it can be basically confirmed that ashes are something that can only be obtained by changing one's fate?"

"What about changing other people's fate? Isn't that possible too? If I could save my father's life... oh, maybe that's possible too."

"Or rather, there should be, but first I have to spend 200 senar (ashes), so it's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain."

"But we can't avoid spending money!"

"Oh, right." Su Yu suddenly remembered, his expression turning somewhat grim: "I remember, initially, the hourglass was filled with golden light..."

"If this is just gray ash, then what kind of change will the golden ash bring? The entire world?"

Su Yu smiled, but then the smile faded...

My intuition tells me that it's not impossible!
