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

The thin white line stretched into an almost transparent straight line in the air. Due to its extreme tension, the air vibrated and emitted a low-frequency whistling sound.

Su Ming tensed all his muscles, his body forming a diagonal line. His feet kicked out two deep craters in the frozen ground, and using the reaction force, he charged forward in the opposite direction without looking back.

"They've gone mad! They've all gone mad!"

After firing a long burst of fire, Li Changfeng quickly pulled out a white plastic bottle from his pocket and, taking advantage of the moment when the enemy retreated to cover, shook out two pills and put them under his tongue.

"Su Ming! Are you trying to throw away a national treasure?! If this thing gets damaged, I'll spend the rest of my life knitting sweaters for you in prison!"

Droma stared wide-eyed at the taut white line, her hand gripping a hidden knife tightly, adopting a protective stance, and chanting, "The divine messenger is subduing the demon! Mountain god protects us!"

The edge of a cliff.

The falling metal box was suddenly stopped as if gripped by an invisible hand! Under the forceful pull of the kite string stretched to its limit, it drew a huge swinging arc above the abyss, defying the laws of physics!

"Madman!" Snow Fox hid behind the rocks, staring intently at Su Ming's movements through his tactical goggles. He saw through the other's intentions, but reason told him that it was impossible to succeed!

"Sniper, cut that wire!"

A static crackled through the channel, and the second-in-command urgently reported, "Captain, Hawkeye has lost contact! We can't lock onto that wire; it's too thin, and the target is moving at high speed—we can't hit it!"

At that moment, the one-eyed dragon, who had lost his balance and was sliding into the abyss, instinctively grabbed the handle of the metal box with both hands.

He was pulled by the kite string, tracing a huge semicircle along the edge of the cliff.

"I'm afraid of heights—help—!"

The one-eyed man's screams echoed through the valley.

Su Ming felt the heavy force on his hand, but he did not stop. Instead, he shouted to Li Changfeng, who was under gunfire.

"Captain Li, cover my left flank!"

"Do you even need to tell me now!"

Li Changfeng shouted against the strong wind and fired a long burst of fire from his submachine gun, suppressing the Snow Fox assault team's charge.

Just then, the one-eyed man's clothes could not withstand the violent pulling and tore violently in mid-air.

He let out a long, mournful howl and plunged completely into the abyss of churning clouds.

The moment the one-eyed dragon released his hand, the force in Su Ming's hand suddenly disappeared, and the box was so light that it was practically an empty shell!

A thought crossed his mind, but he didn't stop walking.

The metal box, having lost the weight of a human body, did not fall as heavily as expected. Instead, it was suddenly pulled by the thin string and rose against the current of the updraft at the top of the mountain!

The members of the Snow Fox Squad were all dumbfounded.

They watched in disbelief as the silver metal box swayed in the wind, soaring higher and higher like a kite, finally tracing a beautiful arc before flying into Su Ming's arms.

"Captain, the target package... it didn't fall! It's flying upwards! It's fucking climbing against the wind!" A team member's voice trembled on the communication channel, his tone distorted.

Snow Fox's pupils contracted, he changed to a new magazine, and his voice was forced out through clenched teeth: "Whatever kind of sorcery that is, focus fire on that student! I want him alive!"

Su Ming suddenly stopped.

He reached out a hand and caught the metal box that fell from the sky with precision.

"Bang!"

The sound of it landing was very soft.

The box felt surprisingly light in his hand, completely different from the immense weight he had expected.

Su Ming glanced down and saw that the seal had indeed been broken; inside was only a dark stone used to enhance the sense of balance.

Li Changfeng rushed over in three strides, grinning widely, and slapped Su Ming hard on the back: "Good lad! I knew you could do it!"

He happily leaned closer, ready to admire the national treasure's face, but the moment he saw what was inside the box, his smile froze.

He blinked hard, then leaned closer, staring intently at the lone, broken stone in the box, his voice twisting and turning: "No... where's our treasure? Our glittering national treasure? Is this all it is?!"

He looked at Su Ming.

"Captain Li, do you still have any nitroglycerin pills?"

Li Changfeng's voice was hoarse, like a broken gong: "Why...why are you asking me for medicine?"

"We might need to take two more; it seems like we've been double-crossed."
