"The parents once participated in the Celestial Essence Calendar war, and later were requisitioned by the Headquarters Investigation Committee to handle a Simulation Realm incident, after which they went missing and were declared deceased."
"It seems due to the absence of his parents, he lacked some correct guidance in values."
"In fact, he should have been influenced by the Simulation Realm at that time, causing him to overreact under such circumstances."
"Such an outstanding student wouldn't do something like this."
Looking at this piece of information, Lin Shan's anger gradually subsided.
From this data, it appears that this is Linjiang First Middle School's seed student of the year, a popular candidate for the top examination score.
Coupled with his parents.
To someone like Lin Shan, Baiyu's parents could be called heroes.
If all goes well, this is another future pillar of the Human Race fighting against mysteries, Exotic Beasts, and other races.
"Alright."
Lin Shan, now clear-minded, closed the file, dismissing the idea of teaching Baiyu a lesson:
"Let's leave it at that. Later on, let's do a mental evaluation test. If the Pollution Level is below fifteen percent, it should be fine.
Avoid getting close to the community for the time being.
The Anomaly Bureau and the police will be clearing the entire community, and approaching rashly might trigger a second hazard."
The sudden tenderness from the fierce woman made Baiyu uneasy, "Sis, my phone and wallet are all in the community. If I can't go back, I'll probably have to sleep in the police station tonight."
He had nothing on him except for bandages and ropes.
Lin Shan rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, "We'll talk after I finish work. Now, I need to handle the aftermath of this matter. Wait for me outside the police station after your mental evaluation."
After saying this, Lin Shan stood up and left.
"Could it be that this woman has some kind of scheme? Is she trying to settle personal scores publicly or has she discovered something else?"
Brain racing, he dismissed one speculation after another.
Recalling Lin Shan's gentle and concerned look before she left, Baiyu felt even more baffled.
Something is definitely amiss.
"I suppose she wants to arrange my residence at a place where she can reach anytime. The downside is I might be monitored, but the upside is if the sealing object in my mind has an issue, an investigator can handle it immediately."
If he could hand over that bizarre item, Baiyu would do so without hesitation.
But it had entered the Scholar Space in his mind.
Baiyu hadn't tried if he could take it out.
Even if he could take it out now, he wouldn't know how to explain it.
The previous full-body scan showed no issues, yet suddenly appearing with an Extraordinary item, isn't that courting death?
The reason for the female broadcaster's distortion hasn't yet been found.
Suddenly producing this Extraordinary item, the authorities would quickly deduce the cause of distortion.
Then he truly would be beyond redemption.
Seizing this gap.
Baiyu cupped his cheeks, pretending to be in a daze, as his consciousness entered the white space in his mind.
Unlike before,
A recessed rectangular slot had appeared on the otherwise empty wall to the space's right; the box found in the female broadcaster's room lay quietly within, its lid half-open.
Baiyu cautiously walked over.
His body felt no abnormalities.
"This space can isolate bizarre objects? The Extraordinary item is suppressed, hence no Extraordinary power is emanating."
Baiyu felt a bit delighted by this discovery.
He knew quite well how formidable this spooky thing was in the Outer World.
Even after drinking the 'Mad Melody,' mere two minutes of contact made the body begin to show signs of distortion.
The paper in his hand showed no signs of aberration.
He also felt no spiritual pollution.
Baiyu confirmed that this space could isolate such bizarre Extraordinary power. Naturally, he now preferred to call this space the "Scholar Space."
After carefully examining the piece of paper,
Baiyu placed it back in the box, covered it, and went to the wall with the task bar.
It is worth mentioning.
Next to the task bar, a line of small red text appeared, not belonging to any of the three difficulties of Ordinary, Elite, or Nightmare.
[Main Task: Find the source of this Extraordinary event!]
[Rewards: Spiritual Technique Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill, one thousand Points!]
No hints, no time limit.
Baiyu had no leads yet, so he turned his focus elsewhere.
[Congratulations to the host for completing an Elite task, gaining 200 Subject Experience Points, a Magic Elixir Recipe: Rock Form, and one lottery chance!]
Magic Elixir: Rock Form
Quality: Ordinary
Requirement: One withered bewilder tree leaf, three drops of Water Crocodile Tears, five grams of white-veined rock powder, twenty milliliters of Spiritual Water, boil in a boiler for three minutes.
Effect: Within an hour of drinking the magic potion, by maintaining the Rock Form and avoiding vigorous movement, you will gain tremendous defensive power while greatly reducing any creature's hostility or attention towards you!
Note: A rock feels no pain; similarly, no one cares about the condition of a rock.
...
"Immovable like a mountain? Hmm, the method of using this magic potion seems quite peculiar."
"The duration is only one hour, somewhat flawed. It'd be great if it was permanent."
Baiyu felt a bit disappointed.
According to the Scholar System's grading scale,
items are divided into Trash, Ordinary, Rare, Limited, Epic, and Legendary; Rock Form should be among the better ones of the Ordinary level.
After all, the side effect is only that 'vigorous movement will render it ineffective.'"
Much better than the Mad Melody.
After jotting down the recipe,
Baiyu approached the lottery screen, extremely interested in this lottery function.
He took a deep breath and pressed the lottery button.
The screen scrolled rapidly, various icons appearing and quickly disappearing until it slowly stopped, with a notebook appearing in the center of the screen.
Item: Sturdy Notebook
Quality: Ordinary
Effect: Extremely sturdy, difficult to destroy!
Note: No one knows why the notebook is so sturdy, but many suspect that its durability is due to the designer considering using it in combat situations.
Click.
The cabinet beneath the lottery screen opened automatically, revealing a thin, rectangular black notebook in the drawer.
Though it appeared thin, it felt quite heavy in hand.
"What's the use of this? As a brick substitute?"
Though he had long given up hope for his luck, Baiyu never expected to draw such an item.
He couldn't help but wonder.
If his ancestors had a distant relative resting under the African black soil, always shielding him.
...
Exiting the space,
Baiyu left the interrogation room and headed to the mental evaluation room.
After completing a series of evaluations, the mental evaluation form showed a big zero, as it usually did, for Pollution Level.
Under the evaluator's surprised gaze, Baiyu successfully escaped from the police station.
As he passed the containment area, he caught sight of the processed remains of the female broadcaster.
It was a totally inhuman corpse with skin turned outward, fascia adhering to chunks of flesh, and hideous fanged mouths all over the body.
And this was after treatment.
With just a glance, Baiyu felt very nauseous.
It wasn't his first time seeing a dead body.
But to die in such a refreshingly novel manner, it's his first encounter.
"Rashly contacting the Extraordinary often brings tragedy."
"Luckily, when I first crossed over, I chose to stay at school, where at least I could securely and safely access knowledge about the Mysterious Side."
Baiyu felt a slight sense of emotion.
Lin Shan was already seated in a hovercar, clad in leather, quietly waiting for Baiyu: "Get in, I'll arrange your residence. I have some more details to ask you."
A hovercar is a unique mode of transportation in this world.
Its shape resembles a tireless sports car, driven by Magic Energy, with great speed.
Of course.
Its price is also very high, affordable only by a few, and even Baiyu would need to save several months' rent to buy one.
