Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Return to School (1/2)
After Qin Siyang left the alley behind the internet café, he did not go home.
Leaving was just a cover.
He hid on the other side of the internet café, carefully listening to the rustling footsteps inside the alley.
Liu Dazhi was leaving.
He concealed himself and quietly followed Liu Dazhi.
Although Liu Dazhi was cautiously paying attention to whether anyone was tailing him, Qin Siyang never once appeared in his field of vision.
He relied on his keen hearing to track Liu Dazhi's location, following cautiously while maintaining enough distance to stay out of sight.
Only after Liu Dazhi opened the door to his home did Qin Siyang firmly memorize its location before silently leaving.
———
Back home, Qin Siyang's mind was filled with Liu Dazhi's threats.
"A scheduled email… this is indeed tricky."
He didn't know much about Liu Dazhi, so he had no idea how the scheduled email was set up.
Which email service was used? How many email accounts did he set up? When exactly did he adjust the scheduled sending time?
Qin Siyang had no answers to these questions.
Killing Liu Dazhi was easy, but ensuring that his secret remained safe after killing him was extremely difficult. If he was careless, all his painstaking efforts would be wasted.
'I won't let my brilliant new beginning after rebirth be ruined by Liu Dazhi.'
He needed to come up with a plan as soon as possible to eliminate the threat Liu Dazhi posed.
That night, after washing the food containers accumulated over the weekend, he took a cold shower and went to bed.
———
The next morning, Qin Siyang got dressed, ate breakfast, and glanced at the calendar on the table.
[Blue Star Calendar, January 4, 2010]
[Western Calendar, Monday.]
[Xia Calendar, Ji-Chou Year, Eleventh Month, Twentieth Day – Auspicious for planting, inauspicious for marriage.]
He stepped out, ready to head to school.
However, since his school bag had already been burned and he had no spare, he simply packed a few food containers into a cloth bag before leaving.
As for textbooks? He had no idea where they were.
He didn't need those things.
After leaving, Qin Siyang took a detour past the internet café, deliberately avoiding the security cameras at the entrance.
Through the front door, he saw Liu Dazhi still sitting at the reception desk.
Liu Dazhi was staring intently at the computer screen, his expression a mix of nervousness and excitement, fingers rapidly tapping away at the keyboard, completely absorbed in some game.
Immersed in his game, Liu Dazhi didn't notice Qin Siyang passing by.
Qin Siyang took one look at him, then turned and headed straight for school.
It seemed today wasn't a good day to kill Liu Dazhi.
"The perpetual calendar didn't say today was suitable for burials—guess that makes sense."
.
.
On school days, the main road at the edge of the safe zone had a bit more foot traffic than on weekends, which were usually empty and desolate.
Many students walked in groups.
Qin Siyang walked alone, not greeting anyone.
When he reached the school gate, he noticed several adults standing there, inspecting the school.
He recognized them—it was the principal of Ju'an School, along with a few leading teachers.
Who knew what had gotten into the principal today that made him suddenly want to inspect the school gate?
Perhaps it was just his personality, occasionally wanting to assert his presence.
"Good morning, Principal!"
"Good morning, Principal!"
Students greeted the principal proactively, and he responded with a smile.
Qin Siyang ignored him and walked straight into the school.
His disregard made the principal lose face. The principal's gaze followed Qin Siyang as he moved, his brows furrowing slightly.
A leader's every move had to be understood by subordinates. The principal's dissatisfaction was immediately picked up by the teacher beside him.
A quick-reacting teacher immediately called out,"YOU! STOP RIGHT THERE!"
All the students turned to look, realizing the teacher was pointing at Qin Siyang. Then, seeing it had nothing to do with them, they continued on their way to class.
Qin Siyang looked the teacher in the eye,"What is it?"
"You saw the principal and didn't greet him? Don't you know about respecting your teachers and elders?"
Seeing this teacher act like a loyal dog defending the principal's dignity, Qin Siyang sneered internally. His fingers instinctively twitched twice, as if itching to clench into a fist.
A hand holding a weapon gives rise to the intent to kill.
After killing someone, his mindset had changed. He had a strong urge to punch this teacher, to show him how he understood "respecting teachers and elders."
But then, Liu Dazhi's disgusting smile flashed through his mind.
No. He had to endure a little longer.
If he hit the teacher now, he would have to reveal that he was a Sequence Ability user, which would likely give Liu Dazhi even more leverage over him.
