Searching for someone in northern Myanmar, and you call that earning tuition fees?

On the way to the network center building, the setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them.

Li Changfeng was panting heavily as he ran, clutching Su Ming's schoolbag tightly in his arms.

"Su Ming, slow down! Just because you have long legs doesn't mean you can be a big deal!"

Li Changfeng caught up with the boy in front of him in a few quick strides, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "That lunatic in the cafeteria said he was a copycat, so where's the real one? Why was he staring at Lin Xiaoyue? That girl is usually pretty well-behaved, she just occasionally skips class to play games at the internet cafe, it's not a capital offense, is it?"

Su Ming didn't stop walking, speaking quickly, his voice carried by the wind: "The shadow is not a person, but a distorted belief."

"Belief?"

"This kind of pervert uses live streaming on the dark web to select followers, packaging the killings as so-called 'performance art.'" Su Ming's eyes turned cold. "Lin Xiaoyue's status as a recognized 'school beauty' is the perfect canvas in his eyes. Destroying beautiful things brings them the greatest stimulation."

Li Changfeng's playful smile vanished, replaced by a murderous glint in his eyes: "Damn it! How dare they provoke me on my turf? These rats in the gutter are tired of living!"

"There's more." Su Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned to look at Li Changfeng, his eyes becoming serious.

"I don't like this feeling."

Li Changfeng was taken aback: "What do you mean? Are you scared? Don't worry, although Brother Li is a security guard now, he was also..."

"It feels like my rhythm has been disrupted." Su Ming interrupted him, pointing to his temple.

"My original plan was perfect. Tonight I would memorize the words that start with C, do two sets of listening comprehension practice tests, and then go to bed at 11 o'clock sharp. But now, the vocabulary book is in your arms, and all I can hear in my headphones is that weird, processed electronic voice."

Su Ming frowned.

"Furthermore, Lin Xiaoyue owes me five hundred yuan."

Li Changfeng's lips twitched: "Wait... buddy, can we not talk about money right now?"

Su Ming's tone became more serious: "We have to talk about this. If she dies, this money will become a bad debt. According to the Inheritance Law, I'll have to go to her parents to get the five hundred yuan back, which is too much trouble, and it's impolite to ask for a debt in that kind of situation."

Li Changfeng opened his mouth wide, feeling a bit overwhelmed. He didn't know whether to criticize him for being cold-blooded or praise him for being a law-abiding young man.

Good grief, I thought it was a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, but it turns out to be a debt collection agency coming to our door!

This kid's focus is so peculiar it makes you want to call the police.

Jiangnan Yan, who was standing next to her, rubbed her temples as she listened. But strangely enough, seeing Su Ming's "money-is-no-object" attitude, she felt reassured.

As long as this guy still cares about money, the sky won't fall down.

Li Changfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, fine, for your five hundred yuan, and for the sake of our school's reputation, let's do it! What are we going to the network center for? Just because the internet speed is fast there? Are you trying to climb over the network cable and argue with him?"

Su Ming started walking again, heading towards the brightly lit network center building not far away.

"Since he likes live streaming, I'll let him know..."

Su Ming pushed open the glass door of the building, and a cold wind rushed in, making the hem of his clothes rustle.

"Physics is the underlying logic of this world."

The three rushed into the network center building.

Just as the security guard at the gate was about to stop him, Li Changfeng flashed a red armband that read "Jiangnan University Security Department" and shouted, "On duty! Get out of the way!"

The security guard was startled by the shout and before he could react, the two had already entered the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Su Ming glanced at Li Changfeng: "Brother Li, we might need to use some of your 'personal connections' later."

Li Changfeng straightened his collar and snorted, "Don't worry, in this area, I can get my hands on anything except the principal's office seal."

The elevator is going up.

Su Ming stared at the numbers flashing in the elevator, his expression darkening.

Although he said it was five hundred yuan, when he saw Lin Xiaoyue's sunny smile in the photo, he did feel a nameless anger rise in his heart.

This disruption of order angered him.

Some people strive to live, memorizing vocabulary, taking certification exams, and working part-time jobs, trying to make a better living within the rules.

But some people want to tear these beautiful things apart to grab attention.

"bite."

The elevator doors opened.

The air-conditioned computer room corridor echoed with the noisy sounds of keyboards clicking and anxious shouts.

"It can't be stopped! It's completely unstoppable! The firewall is made of paper!"

"The attacker is a top-tier expert; he's using a botnet to launch a distributed denial-of-service attack, and the server is about to crash!"

"Where is the live stream source? Why can't I cut it off!"

As Su Ming stepped out of the elevator, a wave of heat mixed with anxiety hit him.

He walked straight to the core control room, his battlefield.

This time, however, he wasn't going to play by the other party's rules.
