Chapter 208: Returning to School (Second Update)
On the third floor.
At the dormitory area.
Apart from Su Hao, some of the other employees lived here, while others were locals who went back by themselves after work.
As the chief toolman, Kong Yun had a room about 40 to 50 square meters, equipped with a kitchen and bathroom.
She was a newbie, and had just joined the company for a few days. She had both longing for the future and nervousness about whether she could do her job well right now.
For a moment, she couldn’t sleep. She stared blankly at the night sky outside the window.
Suddenly…
She heard a dull thud coming from the corridor outside.
Who fell?
Should she go out and take a look?
She thought.
But she didn’t dare to go out in the middle of the night.
She just focused on listening to the commotion outside.
Bang!
Bang!
m.u.f.fled sounds came one after another, accompanied by panicked shouts.
Kong Yun was a little scared.
She thought about it, then wriggled out of the blanket.
With nimble movements, she changed out of her pajama pants, put on her coat, called for her Little Lotus Leaf, and carefully leaned against the door.
She hesitated for a few seconds as to whether she should open the door.
Then, she heard…
“Ah…”
A scream came from the corridor. She could tell that it was a female colleague’s voice.
Kong Yun didn’t hesitate anymore. She suddenly opened the door and rushed out. “What… happened?”
The lights in the corridor were already switched on.
She saw two female colleagues in pajamas.
With two other male colleagues who had rushed out of their rooms, who were holding weapons in their hands.
Everyone’s eyes were focused in front…
There were three people and three sprites lying dead in the corridor.
A Reverie b.u.t.terfly slowly descended.
The light shone on it, and the patterns on its wings reflected the light.
It was especially dazzling.
…
In the bedroom.
Su Hao was dreaming.
He dreamed that b.u.t.terfly had evolved into Fairy b.u.t.terfly form and even became a monarch rank sprite. Its little face was chubby.
He squeezed it a little, as if he had found back the fleshy feeling of when it was still a Silkworm Baby.
In the dream…
The tool company opened by Su Hao and b.u.t.terfly grew little by little, and had already become a giant comparable to Green Shade Group.
The sales from the jade powder set meal series he sold occupied half of the world’s jade powder set meal sales.
He even opened the company to the New World and had branches in many cities.
He was already the most important person in the world.
He was just about to enjoy the leisurely life of a…
He was awakened.
“What happened?”
“Who’s screaming?”
“Where’s b.u.t.terfly?”
Su Hao grabbed a coat from the rack, put it on, and rushed out.
…
A temporary guard looked ashamed. “Boss, I’m sorry. I didn’t sense anything. The Leaf Blade Warrior was hypnotized by the invader.”
The other temporary worker also lowered his head.
No matter what the reason was, he had to admit his mistake first.
The two Sprite Trainers understood this very well.
As expected, Su Hao didn’t blame them.
He walked forward and saw b.u.t.terfly and the corpses on the ground.
His brows gradually furrowed.
“There are actually three elite-level sprites!”
“They actually touched a place only tens of meters away from my bedroom!”
It was too scary!
Even with the strong physique of his sprite, Su Hao still felt his hands and feet turn cold. Could this society be safe anymore? What must ordinary citizens like us do to survive!
Tears of indignance flowed in Su Hao’s heart like rivers.
He still felt that it wasn’t safe enough, so he got b.u.t.terfly to cast a few hundred more layers of illusion on the few sprites. It was best if they couldn’t wake up for the next ten hours.
When that was done, he turned around and asked, “Are all of you alright?”
The staff reported the situation. Only two sprites were under the hypnotic influence of the Silk-Cotton Owl. They were dizzy now, but fortunately, everyone was fine.
“Teacher (Boss), how should we deal with these people?”
They asked.
Without hesitation, Su Hao picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.
A three-digit number.
110!
…
At a residential area in Huayang County.
A police officer in plainclothes swiped the door card he had just borrowed from the property management and opened the stairway door.
“Student Qin, is the wanted criminal in Building 05?”
He asked.
The boy surnamed Qin reached out and summoned a Master Hound.
The Master Hound twitched its nose and nodded at him.
Qin Yu said, “Right here. My sprite told me that the place with the strongest smell is on the third floor.”
“Captain Huang, there might be some movements later. Please get your people to calm the residents in the building, especially don’t let them get close out of curiosity.”
Captain Huang nodded, and the dozen plain-clothed policemen dispersed.
Qin Yu and the other four students quickly ran upstairs.
They were the third-year students of Yunhua University, and they were among the best among their peers.
But today, the five of them had formed a team to arrest three troublesome wanted criminals.
Three elite-level wanted criminals!
After tracking for two weeks, they finally found the other party’s nest!
They arrived at the entrance of the third floor and waited for a while. Captain Qin Yu said,
“Everyone, follow the plan. In a while, my Master Hound will break through the door and rush in. Yang Yi, your flying sprites will seal the windows from the outside. You must subdue those three sprites in a short period of time.”
“Especially that Explosive Mushroom, you must never let it self-destruct…”
His gaze swept across the others.
Then, he stretched out his right hand. His five fingers were reduced from five to one.
The next moment…
Boom…
The Master Hound punched out and forcefully broke the door. A group of sprites rushed in noisily.
“After you… Where are they?”
…
A few minutes later.
“Captain Huang, the situation is bad. For some reason, those three wanted criminals have left.”
“Can you still find them?”
“Yes, they haven’t left for more than an hour.”
The Master Hound sniffed and kept tracking them according to the temperature traces of the three of them. Finally…
Qin Yu looked at the building in front of him and asked, “What is that place?”
“It’s a laboratory that was just opened. It belongs to a young and promising Sprite Cultivator.”
As Captain Huang spoke, his expression suddenly changed. “Oh no, don’t tell me those three wanted criminals went to rob the laboratory! If something happens to the laboratory…”
He couldn’t imagine what would happen if something happened to the young and promising Sprite Cultivator whom even the higher-ups valued.
“Let’s go!”
Qin Yu was also worried himself. He called out to the Master Hound and quickly ran towards the laboratory.
The Extendable Door at the gate opened, and a group of people rushed in noisily.
Just then…
A few uniformed police officers came out of the building.
Qin Yu was stunned. He stared at the police officers.
“Captain Zhou, you are…?”
Captain Huang, who was chasing after them, couldn’t help but ask when he saw someone he knew.
“We…”
Captain Zhou pointed behind.
Several police officers and several Sprite Trainers in plainclothes were carrying three unconscious people.
At the same time, three sprites were carried out.
Captain Zhou said, “A righteous good citizen just arrested a few wanted criminals. We were just planning to bring them back for interrogation.”
Among the three people who were carried out, one was tall and thin, and one was round and fat. The other had an obvious mole on his forehead.
Although they were unconscious, they twitched from time to time. Their expressions were twisted, as if they had fallen into a terrible nightmare.
But they couldn’t wake up no matter what.
Soft white light illuminated the surroundings.
The appearances of the three criminals were clearly seen by Qin Yu and the other Yunhua University students.
They were whom they had been thinking about.
The wanted criminals whom they had been chasing after for two weeks.
They were already completely unconscious.
The three sprites were locked in cages made of special materials, and they were still motionless.
What exactly…
What happened?
Why was there no movement at all, nor any injuries… before they were gone?
At the same time, their credits were also gone.
The boys from Yunhua University were silent, while the girls cried.
…
“How responsible.”
Su Hao waved goodbye to the two-digit Sprite Trainers and secretly sighed. The a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers in Yunhua City, well, they were pretty thoughtful.
…
A few days later.
Zhong Yunrui and the others rushed over from all over Dragon Nation.
There were a total of six people.
Su Hao had chosen people with more reliable personalities.
Similarly, they understood the excellence of Su-style cultivation plans better than others.
The hiring contract was quickly finalized.
The six of them were divided into two groups.
They took turns to replace one another. Everyone had half the time to rest and could do other things.
Su Hao provided them with the most complete cultivation plan and after-sales service.
While they guarded the laboratory for Su Hao.
The salary wasn’t high, or it could even be said to be very low.
However, Zhong Yunrui and the others weren’t dissatisfied at all.
Because…
They saw hope for sprites to break through to extraordinary level from Su Hao!
Even if it was just a little.
Even if it had to take many years.
It was also better than… them being mediocre elite-level!
…
They settled the guard matters.
The research experiments of Prayer Mantis were also carried out systematically under his arrangements, guidance, and the efforts of the Chief Toolman.
Seeing that the laboratory was on track, Su Hao didn’t stay any longer.
After returning home, he brought b.u.t.terfly and flew back to Whale Island.
University, he, Su Hao… was back!
