Today's test was another major failure.

After the news of Dai Quan waking up reached Wenjiang Middle School, they rushed over, hoping he could return to school as soon as possible. After all, the school was in a precarious situation, and it would be easy for something to go wrong if anyone was missing.

What does it mean that Director Dai has lost his memory?

You Yonghuai and his group didn't pay much attention to the operation of Wenjiang Middle School. They only started to take notice when the director of moral education learned of the news and tried to contact the principal to report the situation.

Ling Xiuqi had previously tried to contact the current principal, but without success.

Similarly, the director of moral education was also unable to contact the principal.

After confirming that he was physically fine and only had memory impairment, Dai Quan was able to be discharged from the hospital. He glanced at the director of moral education, and without much thought, decided to return to the school and get back to work.

"I don't care what happens to the school or to me, but I can't let these things affect the students' learning."

The head of moral education stood to the side, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The students in the school now are not the same as those three years ago—these guys are completely incapable of studying... We should be thankful the school wasn't demolished.

Ling Xiuqi also planned to go directly to Wenjiang Middle School to see what the laboratory and the Wujian School, these two crazy organizations, were up to.

A few days might be enough for them to destroy most of the evidence, but it certainly won't erase all traces.

Arriving at the school in a police car, the director of moral education led Dai Quan to his current office and saw the first smile from him since losing his memory.

Because of the high-end gaming laptop on his desk that cost over 20,000 yuan.

"Can I still afford something like this?" Dai Quan's eyes lit up. He opened the laptop, tried to enter the password he knew, and successfully unlocked the computer.

"Let me have HR summarize the work of the academic affairs director for you... although they don't really know much about it either." The moral education director was quite embarrassed.

Only by fully understanding oneself can one truly know what the person in that position should do and how to do it.

"...It seems we don't need to anymore." Dai Quan's gaze fell on a document on the computer screen. He opened it, and it contained the work requirements and procedures for the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Every key point is written in great detail, as if the person who wrote this document had already guessed the current situation.

"This manuscript seems to be something I wrote myself." Dai Quan noticed many of the words he usually used and sensed something was off.

The academic affairs director's monthly salary only increased by 1,500 yuan, which adds up to a total annual salary of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. He is a spendthrift, so where would he save up the money to buy a new computer?

Not to mention that after his wife died, the family's income was halved, but their expenses didn't decrease much...

After sending the head of moral education away, Dai Quan sat alone in his office, staring blankly at the computer screen for a long time, trying to check his bank statements.

Large sums of income and expenditure.

……

To avoid being surrounded by students, You Yonghuai and Ling Xiuqi did not wear police uniforms and wandered around the campus like headless flies.

Very busy, but I don't know what I'm busy with.

Ling Xiuqi took out his phone, found the chat window of his colleague at headquarters, and kept pressuring the other party.

Within minutes, a colleague, unable to bear the barrage of messages about Ling Xiuqi, the "demon pill," called with a voice call.

"Hey Ling, you're asking for a beating again, aren't you?" A slightly familiar voice came from the speaker, seemingly the same person who had insulted Ling Xiuqi last time.

"Sister Su, wait a minute, has the magic array at Wenjiang Middle School been analyzed yet?" Ling Xiuqi hurriedly interrupted and asked.

"There are a few possibilities... Are you close to there right now? It would be faster to just start testing it out." When it came to business, Team Leader Su switched to a working tone in a second.

"Then please wait a moment, Sister Su." Ling Xiuqi immediately led You Yonghuai to the dormitory door and called the head of moral education to help open the door.

Upon arriving at dormitory 319, the two also sent the head of moral education away to prevent any accidents.

Si Xuanyin was stationed outside to guard the area.

This time, as soon as he entered the dormitory, You Yonghuai felt hot all over, as if he had encountered something that made him feel very uncomfortable.

Nothing had changed in the dormitory, so You Yonghuai searched himself for a while and quickly found the source of his discomfort.

It was the shield emblem that the king had given him.

At this moment, the dark gold badge was emitting a slight warmth, as if it were reacting to something and instinctively repelling it.

You Yonghuai's gaze fell on the magic circle drawn in blood on the bed board.

It appears that the Glory Shield is repelling this magic circle?

After telling Ling Xiuqi about this, before the other party could speak, Team Leader Su on the other end of the call spoke first: "This shows that their properties are opposite. You can use this characteristic to find the surrounding magic arrays."

"There's more than one of these?" Ling Xiuqi asked, taken aback.

"...It's hard to say, it depends on how your next experiment goes."

Climbing onto the bed board, Ling Xiuqi switched to video calling. He had You Yonghuai hold the camera up to the magic array, while he followed Team Leader Su's instructions to begin the experiment.

"First, get some of your own blood and smear it on the bottom right corner, yes, the spot where your left index finger touched..."

After several tests, Team Leader Su concluded: "This magic circle is a node of a certain ritual, but it is currently disconnected and not connected to the ritual. This may be due to the incompleteness of other nodes or the fact that the main body of the ritual has been hidden."

"You can try to find other points of interest within the school and send us photos of them. That might help us deduce the purpose of this ritual."

"Okay." Ling Xiuqi nodded, hung up the call, and then turned his gaze to You Yonghuai.

What a coincidence!

"Let's first determine the range of the repulsion caused by the badge."

As You Yonghuai left the dormitory, the intense heat he felt disappeared. He then tried going to the dormitory next door, which was separated from the magic array by a wall, and he did not feel the heat there either.

"It seems we'll have to go through every room." Ling Xiuqi was not only not opposed, but even somewhat delighted.

He loves this kind of easy but time-consuming job.

Immediately, Ling Xiuqi led You Yonghuai around the entire campus, while forwarding Team Leader Su's deductions to Ye Qingchen, asking him to try to obtain relevant information during the interrogation.

After spending the entire afternoon wandering around, the two of them explored the whole Wenjiang Middle School and found similar magic arrays in many corners.

Of course, places like the girls' dormitory and the girls' restroom were inspected by Si Xuanyin, and there were no magic arrays inside.

After sending all the photographed magic arrays to Team Leader Su, Ling Xiuqi also received a call from Ye Qingchen:

"We found out from the two group leaders in the lab that a hidden magic array has been set up inside Wenjiang Middle School to conceal an important base of the lab."
