The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and they were also very familiar with each other’s behavior patterns.

Bai Yu came over without even saying hello. It was definitely an urgent matter.

“First, remove the tracker in my phone. It should be a large-scale tracker. It only has a recording function.”

Bai Yu placed the phone on the coffee table. Qin Shou took a look and skillfully placed the phone into a mechanical instrument.

Not long after, the phone was scattered into a pile of parts.

“An official tracker, KS8250. Only they would buy expensive and unusable things.”

Qin Shou removed the tracker from the parts and put the phone back into the instrument. He said in surprise.

“Is it because of the extraordinary incident that happened in your apartment?

“I called you immediately after I received the news, but you didn’t pick up.

“But I thought you wouldn’t die either, so I didn’t try. Don’t you have a lot of items in your room? 

“Uncle Pang asked me yesterday, but later he seemed to know that you were fine, so he didn’t come personally.”

Bai Yu said in a deep voice as he shook his head.

“It’s a long story.

“Anyway, I wasn’t killed by the supernatural incident, but now I’m being targeted by the investigators in Linjiang City.

“They haven’t found the source of the supernatural incident, so they won’t be satisfied until they find an answer.

“I have some clues on my side, but I need to verify them, so it’s not convenient to tell them a half guess.

“The thing that caused the supernatural incident is in my hands. I don’t know what the person who released this thing is trying to do, so I’m prepared to test it out and lure them out from the dark.”

The corners of Qin Shou’s mouth split open. “Will they die after trying? Uncle Pang told us not to come into contact with these lunatics in the supernatural realm.”

“I’ll make a judgment after I meet them tomorrow. There might be more problems in the future when the time comes.”

Bai Yu knew that there was a high risk involved. Right now, he had the elite Brainiac Space in his mind. If he gave the demon paper to the authorities, in case the other party wanted to forcefully hypnotize him, it was very likely that the secret would be exposed.

“We have a lot of people in the Xincheng District who can use it. We also have the tier nine mechanical equipment that we bought together. We haven’t used it much in the past two years.

“You can try bringing that with you.” Qin Shou stretched his wrist and cracked his neck. “Besides, it’s almost the college entrance exam anyway. Let’s warm-up in advance. After all, martial arts universities never randomly accept anyone. People who don’t practice won’t get accepted. They won’t be successful.”

“Yeah, I have the same idea. Later, being me a mechanical weapon. I want a strength-type one.”

Bai Yu put down the cup and took out the box containing the demon paper.

“This is that extraordinary item.

“I’ve already tested it. As long as I don’t touch it with my skin, it won’t do any harm.

“It seems to be a replica of the sealed artifact S twenty-three Demon Contract.”

Qin Shou’s pupils constricted. “Interesting. What do you plan to do with this thing? A sealed artifact that doesn’t know its effects or side effects, leaving it would be a hot potato.”

“That’s why I’m preparing myself to meet the person tomorrow.”

“Here you go, the most powerful batch of mechanical equipment. Its energy level has reached five hundred and sixty points.” Qin Shou took out a wrist guard that was suffused with light red from the drawer of the desk.

When Bai Yu first came into contact with mechanical weapons, he even ridiculed that these things looked like an armored warrior. Mechanical weapons were a high-tech product that combined magic kinetic energy, machinery, and spirit arts.

Tier nine mechanical weapons were not cheap either. It was about a few hundred thousand dollars.

Because of their parents’ fortune, Bai Yu and Qin Shou naturally had access to many things. The two of them had jointly bought a batch of mechanical weapons back then when they were together. However, Bai Yu found it difficult to find these things enduring.

Qin Shou inherited his parents’ legacy and successfully took over the tavern and some small businesses, so he was the one who had kept them.

The two of them were not children. Naturally, they would not be naive enough to think that everything was going to be handed to them on a silver platter.

In order to ensure the rights and interests of the heir, the two of them had prepared many backup plans.

“While you’re at it, help me collect these medicinal herbs. I want them by tonight.”

Bai Yu listed out the materials required for a potion. If he wanted to make official contact with the other party tomorrow, he had to be fully prepared.

“These materials are very common to get, it won’t be a problem. However, it does seem like you’ve forgotten something, our promise. Every time we come here, we have to go up to the arena and fight. This time, you won’t be thinking of running away, right?

“After my body resilience breaks through 130 points, no one in the entire Linjiang City’s high school will be able to defeat me in ancient martial arts.”

Qin Shou clenched his fists, revealing all the muscles in his body. His brows were filled with confidence.

“Is this the body resiliency testing machine?”

Bai Yu did not answer. He stretched his muscles and walked to a testing machine in the corner and punched the punching pad.

The number on the display device soared and soon broke through 130, and it was still rising.

Finally, the entire number stopped at 152 points.

The corner of Qin Shou’s mouth twitched.

160 points were the limit for people who did not draw spiritual energy into their bodies to temper their bodies.

The body resiliency of normal people fluctuated between 90 to 100 points.

For students like them who wanted to become martial artists, they had to constantly raise their body resiliency. Tempering it would be a waste of time and money.

Therefore, many of the students who were ranked in the middle of the martial arts examination only barely passed their cultural courses, but their spiritual arts and ancient martial arts were very outstanding because they spent a lot of time refining their body resiliency.

However, not only did Bai Yu get excellent results in the two main subjects of the martial arts examination, but he had them for all his subjects!

Bai Yu looked at the numbers on it with satisfaction and said, “Are you still going to fight or not?”

Qin Shou’s face darkened and he immediately smiled sheepishly, “About that, I’ll go prepare the ingredients now.”

…

Qin Shou’s efficiency was extremely high.

The Rock Stance was a normal grade potion and the ingredients needed were not rare. It only took Qin Shou an hour to gather them all. Following that, Bai Yu and Qin Shou came up with a preliminary plan for tomorrow’s operation before they returned to the hotel.

In front of the hotel, Qianxue, who was dressed in a black and white maid’s outfit, blocked their path.

“I’m sorry, I might have to bother you again.”

Qianxue was all smiles. Her two eyes were narrowed into slits, showing her pretty features..

“You’re apologizing for bothering me, yet here you are.

“I know that you girls have a love phase. You’re always thinking about fancy things like falling in love.

“But there is plenty of fish in the sea.

“If you keep pestering me like this, it won’t end well.”

Bai Yu’s answer made Qianxue choke. An unprovoked reply!

“I know that you have some personal opinions against our investigators. It seems that your parents died because of an extraordinary incident, but this matter is not as simple as you think.

If you come into contact with abnormal things, you will end up very miserable.

“So I want to remind you to be careful.”

Qianxue’s body approached him intentionally or not, quickly pulling the distance between the two of them apart.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

Bai Yu noticed this small action and clenched his wrist.

“This is the cell phone we prepared for you. It’ll be easier for you to contact me or Lin Shan at any time.

“The tracking device was initially installed for your safety. I hope you don’t mind.” Qianxue took out a cell phone and admitted the tracking device matter straightforwardly.

“So you want to monitor me twenty-four hours a day?” Bai Yu said with a faint smile.

“Yes, you can see it that way, but we won’t interfere with your private life.

“Just now, we received a report from the government about the abnormality. This supernatural incident was caused by the abyss ascetic order behind the scenes.

“We found out that they are an extremely bloody secret organization.

“They believe in the evil god, the Lord of the Abyss, and committed all kinds of evil deeds.

“They had appeared in the previous transcendent incidents in Linjiang City.

“However, what was different from the previous ones was that in the previous three similar transcendent incidents, the relevant transcendent items would be discovered at the scene, which was the Devil’s Paper.

“However, there wasn’t any found in this incident.”

As Qianxue spoke, she walked up to Bai Yu with a strong sense of oppression. “That’s why we have to protect your safety and at the same time, know your whereabouts.”

“What if I refuse?”

“You won’t refuse.”

Qianxue’s eyes suddenly flashed with white light. A strange aura spread out from her body and directly covered Bai Yu’s entire body.

“In order to ensure your safety, we need to know your movements twenty-four hours a day.

“You’re very willing to accept my protection.

“You trust me very much and are willing to tell me everything you know.”

Qianxue slowly walked up to Bai Yu expecting something to happen.

A moment later, seeing Bai Yu’s lifeless gaze, a smile appeared on her face. 

“You’re not even a warrior. How could you possibly be immune to my mind games?

“It should have been like this a long time ago.

“You’re only polite to ordinary people. I really don’t know what Lin Shan was thinking.”

She stretched out her arm and was about to pull down Bai Yu’s backpack.

However, a hand reached out like lightning.

The palm covered by steel armor was faster than her. In an instant, it grabbed her neck in disproval..
