"Item" group prepared to return, so they walked towards the door together.
Kinuhatata Saiai and Hu Feng Toumi walked at the back of the group, discussing their upcoming training plan.
Until the group reached the main entrance of the Student Dormitory building.
"It's a shame, there was no chance to greet Wuming Gege," Kinuhatata Saiai said.
"I will help relay the message," Hu Feng Toumi said.
But in her heart, she thought: Lin Wuming's disguise is quite effective, even Kinuhatata Saiai didn't recognize him.
Before parting, Kinuhatata Saiai seemed to hesitate for a moment, then leaned close to Hu Feng Toumi's ear and whispered, "Tiger Honey Senpai, among the people attending the event today, there are some dangerous and abnormal existences. Please be extra careful."
"Abnormal?"
"Yes, Mugino and Takitsubo Rikou discovered them," Kinuhatata Saiai said. "They are super senior members of the Dark Side, so their intuition in this regard should be correct."
The reason Mugino Shizuri was in a hurry to leave was partly because she didn't want to stir up trouble.
"Understood," Hu Feng Toumi nodded. "I will inform Lin Wuming."
Just as she was speaking, the "dangerous and abnormal" person appeared before their eyes.
-- Only to see a woman in a white coat slowly moving towards them.
The reason she caught Hu Feng Toumi and the others' attention was because the woman was moving in an electric wheelchair.
-- Having become accustomed to Lin Wuming's classic image, Hu Feng Toumi and the others would subconsciously assume it was Lin Wuming whenever they saw a wheelchair.
After realizing they had mistaken her for someone else, Kinuhatata Saiai no longer paid attention to her and naturally shifted her gaze...
But Hu Feng Toumi stared intently at the woman in the wheelchair, a tense and dangerous aura emanating from her.
"Tiger Honey!" Kinuhatata Saiai's heart jolted. Hu Feng Toumi's state at this moment was very similar to Mugino Shizuri entering a battle-ready state. "This woman..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Mugino Shizuri grabbed her shoulder: "Shut up, don't speak."
Mugino Shizuri appeared very serious, even somewhat nervous -- Kinuhatata Saiai had to activate her "Nitrogen Armor" to counteract the terrifying grip on her shoulder.
Seemingly noticing the commotion here, the woman in the white coat in the wheelchair smiled and nodded towards them, then surprisingly approached directly.
Influenced by Mugino Shizuri, the other three members of "Item" also tacitly entered a battle-ready state.
Hu Feng Toumi had already gripped the ribbon in her pocket, ready for action.
The woman in the wheelchair, however, seemed not to notice the tense atmosphere here, smilingly greeted them, and then stopped in front of Hu Feng Toumi.
"Are you looking at my wheelchair?" she said with a smile, patting her ride. "I recognize you, aren't you Lin Wuming's partner?"
Hu Feng Toumi nodded in silence.
"Just as I thought." the woman said, then looked to the side. "It's a bit of a shame I didn't meet Lin Wuming."
"What do you want with Lin Wuming?" Hu Feng Toumi narrowed her eyes and asked cautiously.
"Consider it an exchange between enthusiasts," the woman said, patting the wheelchair beneath her again. "My wheelchair is specially made, powerful in performance, and has many functions. I'm sure it can be a great help to Lin Wuming."
-- Is this woman here to sell wheelchairs?
Hu Feng Toumi frowned. At this moment, she somewhat missed Shokuhou Misaki. If she were here, she would know what this woman was really thinking.
While speaking, the woman in the wheelchair also handed over a business card: "This isn't mine, but the business card of my wheelchair's manufacturer. If you want to replace your wheelchair, you can contact their company directly."
"Who are you?" Hu Feng Toumi did not take the business card.
"Don't be so nervous," the woman in the wheelchair said. "I'm just a regular Researcher."
"Or..." the woman smiled brightly, "you can just call me Teacher Pathology."
...
Just as Hu Feng Toumi encountered the strange woman in the wheelchair, Shokuhou Misaki also encountered a "strange person"...
Because she didn't want to run into Mugino Shizuri, Shokuhou Misaki and Hokaze Junko left early a while ago, switching to other routes.
On the second floor of the Seventh District Student Dormitory, a small area is not open to the public, so relatively speaking, there are far fewer visitors on the second floor.
In such a scene, anyone out of the ordinary would be very conspicuous.
For example, the woman before them, walking back and forth stealthily with her head down in a secluded, deserted area...
"Madam, please don't go any further!"
Because the other party's behavior was truly suspicious, and she was walking towards a non-open area, Hokaze Junko couldn't help but speak up to remind her.
The woman indeed stopped, then turned around to look.
The woman was very young, wearing an office lady's professional suit with a white coat draped over it -- judging by her attire, she was likely an intern or new employee at some research institution.
Hokaze Junko wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Shokuhou Misaki.
"Runzi-jie, please step back first," Shokuhou Misaki said with a serious expression, staring intently at the other party. "Also, don't let anyone else disturb us."
"Understood, Queen." Hokaze Junko didn't ask further questions and turned to leave decisively.
And so, only the two of them remained in the empty corridor.
Shokuhou Misaki, and...
"Kihara Yuiitsu." Shokuhou Misaki still remembered the face opposite her.
Although they hadn't met for two years, the other party seemed to have reached adulthood, so her appearance hadn't changed much.
Shokuhou Misaki recognized her at a glance.
"'Mental Out'," Kihara Yuiitsu also sized up the girl before her. "Long time no see."
"Indeed, it's been a long time," Shokuhou Misaki said with a cold laugh. "Are you looking for me just to say hello? Speak, what do you want?"
"I'm looking for you?" Kihara Yuiitsu couldn't help but let out a scoff. "Did you get something wrong, 'Mental Out'? You're the one looking for me, right?"
The two looked at each other again, then fell silent together.
Finally realizing this was just a coincidence and a misunderstanding.
In Shokuhou Misaki's view, the person opposite her was, after all, a genuine "Kihara," and she had dealt with her before. For her to suddenly reappear before her at this time made it very difficult not to overthink.
You should know that Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki have now officially taken action against Kihara Gensei, which is almost equivalent to declaring war.
Kihara Yuiitsu raised her hand: "Stop, don't overthink! I'm just here today to visit with my Teacher. As for your business with Kihara Gensei, I don't care, and I have no intention of interfering."
Shokuhou Misaki held the remote control in her hand and sneered, "Do you think I would believe that?"
Kihara Yuiitsu appeared very open and honest. She raised a finger and pointed to her head: "If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."
She indeed wasn't lying, but she wasn't telling the whole truth either.
Kihara Yuiitsu's purpose for this trip was indeed very simple: just to "attend the Summer Festival with my Teacher."
But her Teacher, without a doubt, had other objectives.
Kihara Yuiitsu didn't ask further, but she could roughly guess -- Lin Wuming, the only special existence who could make her Teacher personally show up, was only Lin Wuming now.
