After school, Qin Siyang came to the library again to sort out the books.
However, this time, he noticed that besides Teacher Zhu and Wen Shu, there was one more person in the library.
Zhao Liwen.
Zhao Liwen was also studying at a desk in the library.
Although he wasn't sharing a small desk with Wen Shu, he was sitting right opposite her.
There was no expression on Wen Shu's face. Her big eyes were only fixed on the examination paper in front of her, seemingly deeply engaged in her studies.
But Qin Siyang knew that she wasn't in a good mood.
Because in the past, when he came to the library to tidy up the books after school, she would greet him with a smile and her expression was always relaxed.
It was not like now, where she was like a studying machine.
At this moment, Zhao Liwen walked up to Wen Shu and asked her a question. Wen Shu answered expressionlessly, being concise and not willing to say a single extra word.
Qin Siyang shrugged his shoulders and was about to have another chat with "Second Zhao", when Teacher Zhu coughed.
Teacher Zhu pointed at a piece of note on the table with his hand: "This is for you."
Qin Siyang picked up the note and found that it was in Wen Shu's handwriting.
"Zhao Liwen studies at Ju'an School because his father is an intern employee of the Engineering Bureau here, which makes it convenient for him to go to school. His father is about to become a full-time employee and has some background and influence. Don't provoke him for now."
Qin Siyang showed a helpless expression.
Wen Shu had already anticipated his actions. What else was there to say? Teacher Zhu then said, "Hurry up and finish tidying up, lock the door and let's go."
"Okay."
Qin Siyang knew that Wen Shu was suffering by staying in the library now, so he tidied up very quickly.
After a while, he said to Zhao Liwen and Wen Shu, "The library is going to close. Please leave, classmates."
Wen Shu didn't say anything. She put the exercise book back on the bookshelf, carried her schoolbag and left.
Zhao Liwen was rather slow and only came out when Teacher Zhu was about to lock the door.
"Qin Siyang." Zhao Liwen called out to Qin Siyang who was turning around to leave.
"What do you want again?"
"I hope you'll consider what I said to you yesterday. I have no ill intentions. I meant every word I said."
Qin Siyang was already too lazy to pay attention to him and continued walking towards the school gate.
Zhao Liwen chased after him and said again, "I hope you understand that if you're with Wen Shu, you'll only disturb her."
"Are you crazy? I haven't even said a word to her. The one who's disturbing her studies should be you, right?"
Zhao Liwen pursed his lips: "Even if she's disturbed, she can still easily get into one of the two colleges with lower rankings. So I'm not really affecting her."
"But for someone like you who can't get into a college to draw on her energy, it's just a waste of her time."
Zhao Liwen's words made Qin Siyang's anger flare up.
What did he mean that it was okay for him to delay Wen Shu?
Qin Siyang didn't know how Zhao Liwen could say such shameless words. He had thought that Zhao Liwen was just a bookworm, but now he realized that he was actually a refined egoist.
If it weren't for the fact that he was going to meet Royeliana tonight, Qin Siyang would have definitely given Zhao Liwen a thump on the head on his way home!
"What you say is even more unpleasant than farting."
After leaving this sentence, Qin Siyang strode away.
Zhao Liwen stared coldly at Qin Siyang from behind, then snorted disdainfully and also walked towards his home.
Qin Siyang went home, put down his schoolbag and prepared to go meet Royeliana.
He recalled the information he had looked up in the Godslayer Camp.
"Royeliana is not an Ability User of the Smeller Sequence, but she has experience in investigating cases and chasing criminals. She should have a low-level item for tracking scents."
It was seven o'clock in the evening, and there were pedestrians passing through the Chunliu Alley one after another.
This alley was a shortcut from the edge of the safe zone to the central area. Generally, people who couldn't afford to take the bus would walk through here to save time.
Qin Siyang learned about Chunliu Alley from the forum.
The Ability Users heading to the exit of Safe Zone No. 114514 usually weren't strong enough, had hunted down not many gods, and didn't have a substantial income.
Sometimes, in order to save money, they also had to walk home. Chunliu Alley was a path they often took.
When there was no one on the road, Qin Siyang sneaked into the agreed-upon forest and crouched by the side.
Then he opened the lunch box and smeared the three-winged flying fish he brought back from the cafeteria onto his clothes.
"A low-level scent-tracking item is far inferior to the 'Scent Seeking' skill of the Ability Users of the Smeller Sequence. If it is covered up with a strong scent, the item won't be able to track it."
"The smell of the cafeteria food should be strong enough."
This was also the information provided in the exchange posts on the forum of the Godslayer Camp.
After he finished smearing it on his clothes, he covered the lunch box again and quietly waited for Royeliana's arrival.
At around half past eight in the evening, a figure wearing a windbreaker appeared in the forest.
Qin Siyang could hear the dull sound of leather shoes stepping on stones and knew that Royeliana should have arrived.
Qin Siyang didn't know what Royeliana was going to do by coming half an hour early.
He still hid in the forest and quietly observed Royeliana.
He saw Royeliana take out a bottle of perfume, spray it on herself, and then stand still without any movement.
After a while, this fragrance also drifted into Qin Siyang's nostrils.
This delicate fragrance made him feel refreshed and reduced his anxiety a bit.
"Is this an ordinary perfume? Or a prerequisite for activating some kind of sequence skill?"
Qin Siyang frowned and thought.
He still didn't know what Royeliana's true sequence ability was, so he was very vigilant.
Royeliana seemed to be getting a bit impatient with waiting and kept looking at her phone.
After confirming that Royeliana hadn't set any traps, Qin Siyang covered his face and walked out from the bushes beside him.
However, the clothes used to cover his face were stained with the smell of the cafeteria food, which didn't make him feel very comfortable.
When Royeliana saw Qin Siyang walking out from the side, she was taken aback for a moment, and then asked indifferently, "You've been here for a long time. Why didn't you show up?"
"I didn't want to come out so soon."
Qin Siyang truthfully told his inner thoughts.
Royeliana flicked her golden bangs: "You wanted to see me. What's the matter?"
"I want to ask you for a favor."
"Speak."
"Introduce the person who forged your sequence to me."
Royeliana's pupils suddenly dilated, but then she heard the words of the masked person opposite.
"I advise you to take your right hand away from the pistol under your windbreaker. Once the gun goes off and you can't kill me, there will be no room for redemption."
Royeliana was stunned. She didn't expect that this person could actually see through her action.
What a strong perception and prediction ability!
Royeliana's hand still stayed on the gun. She had already loaded the pistol before coming and was ready to draw and shoot at any moment.
"You're very confident. But I don't think your movements will be faster than a bullet."
Qin Siyang smiled and said, "Of course I can't be faster than a bullet. But a bullet needs you to draw the gun and pull the trigger to be fired, right?"
"As long as I'm faster than you, that's enough."
