High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

It didn't hurt, but there was a strong feeling of something foreign in his chest; it felt like someone was putting their hand inside his chest.

Then came the cold and numbness, and he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Is Chen Yi calling out?

Her anxious face was rapidly receding from his.

I knew I couldn't trust Yu Xin... I definitely wouldn't choose "Open" if it happened again... You've really screwed me over.

In his final moments before losing consciousness, he saw the moonlight shining brightly.

The thick moonlight intertwined into lines, crisscrossing the sky, and then wrapped around Bai Shasha.

At the end of the white line, a girl with silver hair descended to the mortal realm.

......

"Teacher Yu Xin..."

Lin Shuxuan sat up in bed with a shout, but when he saw Yu Xin beside him, he swallowed the word "thief" back.

The first thing you see is a clean, white hospital room.

The curtains, billowing in the wind, brushed past various instruments; judging by their exquisite designs, they must be quite expensive.

He reached out and touched his chest.

The skin is smooth, without a single scratch.

The scene from before seemed like nothing more than a nightmare.

"The case is solved. You and your sister won't get any more midnight phone calls anymore."

Lin Shuxuan remained silent for a while.

He said slowly:

"You've been eyeing Bai Shasha for a while now?"

Yu Xin shook her head.

"The serial cases are bizarre, and what we've noticed is 'Midnight Bell' and its publisher, the White Spirit Group."

"Until your post came into view, during the initial interrogation, the equation was just a cover. We observed you for a long time but couldn't find any problems."

"Later, you discovered the anomaly in the television, and considering your relationship with Bai Shasha, we devised a plan centered around you."

"After all, you shouldn't be able to get close to a girl in her position."

Lin Shuxuan pondered for a moment, then continued to ask:

"How did Bai Shasha do that? Is she really a vengeful spirit?"

Yu Xin still shook her head.

"The human brain is extremely easy to deceive; a fatal injury in a dream can leave lingering pain in reality."

"Her abilities are not yet fully understood; but they are generally believed to involve strong psychological suggestion and hypnosis to commit murder."

"You can think of it as a kind of hallucination, except that its medium is horror movies and ghost stories."

Hallucinations and psychological suggestion... As expected, all urban legends and ghost stories end badly... Lin Shuxuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said:

"Where is Bai Shasha? I want to see her."

Yu Xin remained silent.

"..."

"Okay, I understand."

Yu Xin raised her hand and placed it on his thigh, gently comforting him:

"This matter is partly our fault. The police department will give you everything you deserve: honor and compensation."

"We can discuss anything you need."

Lin Shuxuan remained indifferent and waved his hand in refusal.

"It's not your fault. Bai Shasha had her eye on me for a long time. Without your help, I wouldn't have survived."

"Forget about compensation, I don't want anything."

Wealth and honor are nothing but fleeting clouds; only power, only power, can prevent him from being treated like a pig waiting to be slaughtered; only power can truly give him a voice in this world.

He will get what he wants himself!

It does not rely on anyone's charity.

Lin Shuxuan rolled out of bed; he needed to get his guardian's signature to transfer to martial arts first.

Fortunately, it's still early, so we should make it in time.

He rolled out of bed and heard Yu Xin comforting him.

"Didn't I remind you? You were unconscious for a day and two nights. Today is the weekend, so you don't have to go to school."

"?"

Lin Shuxuan felt a big question mark appear above his head.

So the window for switching to military service has already closed?

He brainstormed as he lay back on the bed, expressionless, staring intently at the ceiling.

Failing to switch to martial arts means he will become the Federation's strongest liberal arts student, a title that is meaningless; without cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, his advantage of twenty years of cultivation will soon be worn away.

As far as he knew, the Federal Martial Arts Examination spanned a long period, and even if he waited until he had 20 years of martial arts training and requested special treatment, there would still be several subjects he would not have time to take.

"Alright, since you don't want compensation, I'll be leaving now. We've already paid the medical bills, so you can stay as long as you want."

Lin Shuxuan turned his head away, trying his best not to look at Yu Xin's expression.

"Sister Yu Xin, let's talk about compensation."

He caught a glimpse of Yu Xin's expression and raised his eyebrows in a playful manner; like SpongeBob SquarePants discovering Squidward stealing a crab roe bun.

"Okay, okay, what do you want?"

"I want to switch to martial arts."

The beautiful, mature woman frowned slightly.

"These matters are handled by the municipal government; they would be more difficult for our public security bureau to deal with."

"Anyway, I'll try to figure something out for you. Wait for my news."

She got up and left.

"By the way, your sister has come several times."

Following Yu Xin's gaze, a small head was peeking out from the doorway.

The room fell silent. Lin Shuxuan stared at the ceiling in silence for a while before saying irritably:

"Come in."

Chen Yi took small, quick steps to the bedside, where Lin Shuxuan immediately pinched her cheek.

"Ouch...it hurts."

She covered Lin Shuxuan's hand, not daring to resist.

"Now you know what pain is."

Lin Shuxuan released his grip, worried that using too much force would leave bruises.

The younger sister relaxed and pulled over a chair to sit down.

"Did I tell you to sit down? Stand facing the wall and reflect on your actions," he scolded.

Chen Yi walked to the side, looking aggrieved, and pressed her little head against the wall in repentance.

Lin Shuxuan propped his arms up on the chair, which was still warm from the heat.

He sighed inwardly, wondering if he was angry at Chen Yi or at his own incompetence.

It is precisely because he is too weak that he cannot be relied upon.

If Chen Yi were his sharp-tongued sister who looked down on him, he would feel much better; this kind of gentle and obedient sister, who doesn't trust him, is just too hurtful to his self-esteem.

Ultimately, it all comes down to having real strength.

In short, let's forgive Chen Yi first... Lin Shuxuan raised his hand and touched his nose.

"Brother...you're a pervert..."

"I am facing the wall in contemplation," Chen Yi said quietly.

Lin Shuxuan's forehead veins bulged.

......

On the street, Chen Yi, who had just been given a sharp rap on the head, followed behind Lin Shuxuan, fuming.

"He was secretly smelling that older woman's scent, and he wouldn't let anyone tell."

She complained softly, and when she saw Lin Shuxuan turn his gaze towards her, she turned her head and pretended to whistle.

"Chen Yi, during the time I was unconscious, did my uncle and aunt say anything?"

Listening is the important thing, Chen Yi answered carefully:

"The security guard came to see my parents. I don't know how he explained it. My dad didn't seem to care, but my mom was a little angry."

Auntie is indeed troublesome... Lin Shuxuan turned his head to look at the landmark building of Xinhai, Xinhai Pearl.

Although they are far apart, the towering tower is still clearly visible.

Bai Shasha...

As expected, ordinary men are no good... He laughed self-deprecatingly.

But there are still doubts.

The whole thing ended far too easily. Bai Shasha knew that he and Yu Xin were close, so why did she act so hastily?

and...

A girl spends a whole year on you, clinging to you every moment, just to kill you off with a sarcastic remark?

Unfortunately, all of this can no longer be investigated.

He turned to look at Chen Yi.

"what!"

The cute little girl covered her face, looking wary.

"I'm sorry you've had to go through all this trouble these past few days."

Chen Yi's big eyes immediately filled with tears, and she threw herself into Lin Shuxuan's arms.
