Gu Shushu, this somewhat eccentric girl, whom Cheng Jun described as an oddball, arranged to meet Zhang Lang in the woods north of the campus.

These past few days, Zhang Lang heard from Cheng Jun that this little grove is a popular dating spot for couples on campus. However, Zhang Lang is certain that Gu Shushu has no interest in him...

After arriving in the main world, he was unfamiliar with the place and the people. The Void was in hibernation, and he didn't know when the altar would summon him again. He ate and slept on time, without worrying about survival or monsters, and he didn't have any mission objectives...

All told, Zhang Lang hadn't experienced such a peaceful life for almost two years...

The reason it took two years is because he had participated in so many missions, which added up to dozens or even hundreds of days...

To be honest, he found this stable life, which he had once longed for, somewhat boring...

Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to go see what this crazy girl was up to! With that thought in mind, Zhang Lang headed towards Beilin.

By the time he arrived, it was already dark. In the distance, he could see a tall girl standing under the streetlights on the sidewalk, her back to him...

For a fleeting moment, the image in Zhang Lang's eyes seemed somewhat blurry...

His younger sister, Xiaoya, was about the same height and also liked to wear two braids. Just looking at her from behind, she looked just like the younger sister who used to stand at the street corner every day after school, waiting for him to get off work...

Zhang Lang let out a long breath, cleared the jumbled illusions from his mind, and stepped forward.

"Hello?"

The girl turned around, and as soon as she saw him, she burst into laughter!

It must be said that although the black-rimmed glasses are a bit of an eyesore, this girl's features are truly exquisite...

The girls in Zhang Lang's hometown also liked to wear rouge and powder, but at most they would just use it to improve their complexion or apply lipstick. When he first arrived in the main world, their long eyelashes, straight eyebrows, thick eyeliner, and large pupils truly startled Zhang Lang…

Unlike the exaggerated, almost mask-like makeup of the cyberpunk world, the girls in this world, despite wearing heavy makeup, try their best to mimic a bare-faced look. This feeling of being both human and inhuman is indeed a bit stimulating for a country bumpkin from a world where makeup techniques are hundreds of years behind...

In comparison, this girl with glasses and no makeup is much more pleasing to the eye.

However, this smile made Zhang Lang feel a little awkward...

This doesn't look like the smile of someone seeing a person; it looks more like the smile of someone seeing prey...

I've always been the one hunting others, but now I've become the prey in their eyes?

"You're finally here?" Gu Shushu grinned widely, giving Zhang Lang a thumbs up. "You didn't stand me up, good job!"

Zhang Lang looked down at her slightly: "What do you want?"

"To confirm something..." Gu Shushu smiled and looked Zhang Lang up and down. "You're not from this world, are you?"

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Lang nearly flew into a rage and killed him!

Is she a reincarnator? Does she know my origins? Or is she a member of the Chen clan, chasing me here? No, that doesn't make sense, how could this be…

A thought flashed through Zhang Lang's mind. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"You should be asking me how I figured it out, right?"

Gu Shushu, with her hands behind her back, began to circle around Zhang Lang with measured steps:

"First of all, a normal person wouldn't run out of the toilet naked... This means your time travel can only be done physically, without clothing or weapons... I've seen a similar setting in a science fiction movie!"

"Secondly, when I saw you naked, you didn't show the usual shyness or embarrassment a man would have. On the contrary, your body immediately adjusted its posture, a subconscious fighting stance, indicating that your first reaction was to kill me! This is clearly not a quality a student should possess!"

"Finally, I investigated your previous information. You come from an orphanage, have a deceased girlfriend, and are basically all alone! Moreover, in the past few days, many people have said that your behavior has changed drastically from before. You've become taciturn, living a monotonous life, almost like an ascetic..."

"In conclusion, I deduce that you are not actually human, but a bionic robot warrior who traveled back from a technologically advanced parallel world, or even perhaps the future of this world! Is that right?!"

After stating her deduction, Gu Shushu pointed at Zhang Lang, her eyes wide open, her face full of anticipation, as if waiting for Zhang Lang to confirm her conjecture!

Zhang Lang, looking at the confident girl, breathed a sigh of relief...

It turns out it was just wild speculation... Indeed, many of the unusual points were plausible, but they were also wildly off the mark...

"You're overthinking it..."

"Huh?!" The girl seemed quite surprised when Zhang Lang didn't admit it.

"Impossible! How could my deduction be wrong? Right, you must be here on a secret mission, right? Is something big about to happen? Will humanity face extinction and become slaves to aliens or artificial intelligence? And are you sent back by the future leader of the human resistance to save the world and change the future?!"

"Stop with these unfounded speculations..."

Zhang Lang tried to persuade her, but the girl remained unconvinced.

"I know you won't admit it, but just tell me, how did you change your identity information? And also, how did you make so many people believe you already existed in this world? I see many of your classmates seem to have accepted you immediately. Was it mind control or brainwashing? Tell me, please..."

"No..." Zhang Lang continued to deny it, "Besides, what's the point of telling you?"

"Then I can brainwash the entire school's teachers and students... no, control the entire city's citizens, and make them help me find the legendary 'Broken Sword'!" Gu Shushu casually stated her extraordinary plan...

"What is that?" Zhang Lang was full of interest in everything in this world.

"You didn't know that?" Gu Shushu chuckled.

"The Broken Sword is the name of an organization. Legend has it that they specialize in finding and controlling supernatural phenomena and objects in the world to prevent them from causing danger! They are a legendary heroic organization that secretly protects this world!"

"There's such an organization?" Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes, remembering Cheng Jun's reminder.

That girl is crazy; you can't believe a single punctuation mark she says!

"That's just a legend!" Zhang Lang retorted to Gu Shushu's enthusiasm, sighing, "There's no mysterious organization, and I'm not a time-traveling robot! If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"
