On the other side, Xu Yuan, fully armed, was completely unaware that his fabricated identity had already been seen through.
He ran to a secluded corner, quickly took off his security guard hat and uniform and put them away, then removed his mask and sunglasses to return to his original attire before buying several breakfasts and returning to his dormitory.
"Everyone, get up and eat." Xu Yuan pushed open the door and put breakfast on the table.
"Brother Yuan went out to buy breakfast so early?" Zhao Ze yawned widely, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he got out of bed.
Li Da groggily opened his eyes, his voice still languid from sleep: "Yeah, I haven't had enough sleep yet."
Last night, several of us stayed up late talking about life and went to bed very late. Now, everyone looked exhausted and listless.
Xu Yuan looked at them and said with a smile, "To celebrate my escape from this sea of suffering today, I specially gave each of you an extra egg."
"Is there really such a good thing?" Li Da was instantly wide awake, sprang up from the bed, and quickly approached.
Zhao Ze, however, accurately grasped the key point in her words, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Escape from suffering? Brother Yuan, what do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing, just being able to embrace freedom." Xu Yuan shook his head and got down to business, "I'm going home today to pack my things, and I should be moving back to the dorm in a couple of days before returning to classes as usual."
He had taken a long leave of absence due to illness and had been recuperating at home. Now that his health has improved, it is time for him to return to school and resume his normal study life.
Zhao Ze's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest, saying, "Why wait two days? I'll go with you, and we can get everything ready today!"
Xu Yuan shook his head: "No need, I want to stay at home for a couple more days."
"Oh dear, brother!" Zhao Ze put down the fried dough sticks, put one foot on the chair, and said with a pained expression, "What's the fun in being alone? Being with us brothers, eating meat from big bowls and drinking wine to our hearts' content, that's what you call lively and joyful!"
Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Speak properly."
"Oh," Zhao Ze replied obediently.
Xu Yuan explained simply, "I really do have something to take care of."
Although he had been at home for a while, he hadn't seen his mother much, so he wanted to spend some quality time with her these next few days.
"Alright then." Zhao Ze had no choice but to give up, then, as if remembering something, he added, "By the way, Brother Ze, I mentioned to my friends what you asked me to do, but they didn't really pay any attention to me."
Xu Yuan was momentarily puzzled: "What is it?"
"Brother Yuan, have you forgotten? It's about Xingding International."
"Xingding International—" Xu Yuan frowned slightly.
Xu Fei had mentioned in the class group chat that a white-clad woman resembling a spider had been spotted in Xingding International. After hearing this, Zhao Ze's group of friends discussed forming a team to go on an adventure.
Zhao Ze had even prepared an Ultraman suit, but Xu Yuan was worried that the monster was not just a rumor, so he specifically told Zhao Ze not to go, and advised his friends not to go either.
Considering the series of calamities that had befallen him in the past few days, Xu Yuan became increasingly certain that the rumors surrounding Xingding International were not unfounded.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "What's your relationship like with those friends? Are there any particularly close ones?"
Zhao Ze shook his head: "No, we're just ordinary friends who get together occasionally."
"Then remind them one more time, that you have reliable information that the area may be dangerous. If they insist on ignoring you, then forget about it."
Zhao Ze always trusted Xu Yuan, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "No problem, I'll tell them again later."
Liu Cheng, who was standing nearby, came over with a curious look on his face: "Brother Yuan, what are you guys talking about?"
Xu Yuan briefly recounted the rumors surrounding Xingding International, then advised, "You'd better stay away from there as well."
Although they didn't know the specific reason, Li Da and Liu Cheng both nodded honestly: "We understand, Brother Yuan. We definitely won't get involved."
.
Having just experienced a crime scene, the two naturally wouldn't risk their lives again. Moreover, after the KTV and haunted house incidents, their trust in Xu Yuan grew day by day, especially Li Da, who had personally witnessed Xu Yuan's superhuman strength and was now completely convinced of his abilities.
Seeing that the others had taken his advice, Xu Yuan felt much relieved. He subconsciously glanced around the dormitory and noticed that one person was missing. He couldn't help but ask, "By the way, where's Xiaolong? I haven't seen him."
It was still early, and Liang Xiaolong would usually be fast asleep by this time, but he was nowhere to be seen, which was rather strange.
Li Da casually replied, "Oh, he went to meet his online girlfriend in person."
"So soon?" Zhao Ze's interest was piqued. "Didn't he say a couple of days ago that he wasn't ready to meet and wanted to wait a few more days? How come he suddenly went?"
"He got provoked by Brother Yuan," Li Da laughed. "He even said that if his online girlfriend were half as good-looking as Brother Yuan's girlfriend in real life, he would be able to die smiling."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "What the heck? Where did I get a girlfriend?"
"With Tang Xinxin first and the class monitor later, doesn't that count?" Zhao Ze said in an ambiguous tone.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're just ordinary friends," Xu Yuan casually retorted, then curiously pressed on, "By the way, when did Xiaolong start his online relationship? I've been hearing you guys talking about it these past few days, but when I was sick and went home the other day, I don't think he was involved in anything like this yet, right?"
"No, not before, it just happened this month." Li Da nodded. "They haven't been talking for very long, but they've already exchanged photos."
"Oh?" Xu Yuan's face immediately lit up with a gossipy expression. He leaned closer and asked, "You've already sent photos? What do you think of the girl?"
"It's quite pretty, very pleasing to the eye," Li Da nodded in reply.
"That's great. Who suggested it first this time?" Xu Yuan asked.
"The woman."
"Sure," Xu Yuan said with a smile. "You've only been talking for less than a month and you've already taken the initiative to meet up. Looks like Xiaolong has quite the charm."
"I think it's a bit unreliable." Li Da frowned, somewhat pessimistic. "I've seen her photos; she is indeed very beautiful, but something just feels off."
Liu Cheng, who was standing nearby, joined the conversation and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"We're all roommates, so I'll be frank," Li Da said. "We all know Long Ge. He's average-looking, has a nice personality, but nothing particularly outstanding. With her looks, there's no reason she should be interested in him. Besides, I've seen their chat history; she's incredibly proactive, almost always the one showering him with attention and clinging to him. Is that right?"
After hearing this, Liu Cheng also felt uneasy and couldn't help but worry: "Could he have been scammed?"
"Maybe it's just a photo trick!" Zhao Ze stroked his chin, his imagination running wild. "Maybe he looks good in the photo, but in reality he weighs over 800 pounds and is fat and ugly? So he finds Xiao Long so appealing? Who knows, Xiao Long might be being held and pampered by someone right now!"
Li Da imagined the scene and couldn't help but chuckle: "That makes sense."
"Can't you two just hope Xiaolong will do well?" Xu Yuan looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
Li Da said in surprise, "We were just joking—"
"Stop talking!" Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, took out fifty cents from his pocket, handed it to Li Da, and said in a serious tone, "I'm not going back to the dormitory tonight. When Xiao Long comes back tonight, if he's feeling down, give him this money on my behalf as a New Year's gift so he won't feel too bad."
"You're not much better off than us, are you?" Li Da's expression turned serious as he took the money. "I understand. I'll complete the mission!"
The group chatted and joked around the topic until noon, when they had lunch together at the school cafeteria. Xu Yuan then said goodbye to his roommates, left the school, and took a taxi home.
The taxi headed towards Wutong District. The driver, a typical chatterbox, noticed Xu Yuan's silence after getting in and struck up a conversation: "Hey buddy, you came from the university town, you must be a college student, right? Why are you going home so early?"
"Yeah, I have something to do at home." Xu Yuan replied casually, glancing out the window as the street scenery rushed past.
"I know that Wutong District like the back of my hand. I've driven tons of people there," the driver said to himself, a hint of wistfulness in his voice. "It's changed so much. It used to be so lively, but now so many old houses are empty. But some of the old buildings still have a certain charm. I've taken a few photographers there specifically to take pictures, saying they have a sense of history." These art enthusiasts were all incredibly generous with their money.
Xu Yuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, only vaguely uttering an "Mmm".
He had already gone to bed late last night, and then got up early this morning to exercise. Afterwards, he even fought a calamity in the teaching building. He was really tired now and just wanted to rest.
During a moment of rest with his eyes closed, Xu Yuan's thoughts involuntarily turned somber as he pondered to himself, "In such a short time, I've already encountered several calamities. Have these calamities become so rampant?"
"I already struggled a lot dealing with that monster in the teaching building today; my hand almost hurt from slapping it. What will I do if I encounter even more powerful calamities in the future?"
Thinking of this, he felt a growing sense of urgency: "This world seems to be getting more and more dangerous. It seems I still have to work hard to become stronger."
He suddenly remembered the voice that had run through his body when he was sick, saying that his body would gradually awaken.
"Currently, my strength is mainly manifested in my left hand. I don't know when my other organs will awaken, or if some conditions need to be met?"
Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, looked down at his left hand, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and helplessness: "I just hope that if they really wake up, they won't be as mentally challenged as this hand."
Just as he was lost in thought, the taxi entered a tree-lined old road and gradually slowed down.
Suddenly, Xu Yuan caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure flashing by on the roadside outside the window. He frowned slightly and said in surprise, "Xiao Long?"
