A line of small black text floated in the air:

【The Record of the Acacia Tree】

Bai Sheng held up his phone flashlight in one hand and flipped through the magazine with the other.

The magazine is indeed from a very long time ago.

The paper is severely aged.

He opened the inner pages and looked...

The first story is called "Midnight Rose".

The accompanying picture is of a curly-haired woman lying on a sofa.

That page had a large, yellowish-brown water stain.

It covers the woman's chest area.

Bai Sheng felt nauseous and vomiting.

My fingers felt dirty from holding the book...

This was probably several decades ago.

The federal internet wasn't as widespread as it is today; it was a remnant of a predecessor.

Bai Sheng frowned and turned a few more pages.

I've discovered that some of my predecessors really lack martial ethics!

They actually tore off the impurities!

such as,

In one of the stories, the lower half of the model's photo had a crooked, torn tear.

It looks like it was torn by hand.

And these torn marks are not uncommon.

Often, it's those crucial parts that get torn off.

Bai Sheng snapped the magazine shut.

In his mind, he cursed the previous readers from head to toe for their poor character.

This isn't your private property, damn it.

You can look if you want, then tear it up, and then take it with you!

This kind of behavior is like biting the hand that feeds you.

In any era, they deserve to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Calm yourself down.

Bai Sheng rolled up the magazine again, stuffed it inside his coat, and tightened it with his belt.

Da da da!

Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside.

The sound of high heels clicking on the carpet drew ever closer.

I circled around the end of the third-floor corridor and then disappeared into the distance.

Bai Sheng's back was pressed against the door panel.

Wait until the footsteps completely disappeared in the direction of the stairs.

He silently opened the door and slipped out.

Go down to the second floor,

He deliberately looked up at the ceiling of the corridor.

A hemispherical camera was installed in the corner of the wall.

However, the indicator light for the camera direction is off.

The end of the thread hangs down halfway from the side of the base.

The broken edge was covered with a layer of dust.

That's true, what shop owner would be stupid enough to install a real camera in their own hallway?

The recordings are all evidence; not recording them would allow you to pretend you don't know anything.

Bai Sheng turned into the public restroom at the end of the corridor and looked out the window.

He jumped straight down from the third floor.

It didn't take him much effort.

He braced himself against the window frame with both hands, climbed out, and

The body spun halfway through the air.

The ball of the foot touches the ground first.

Slightly bend your knees to absorb impact.

It landed steadily on the cement ground at the back of the alley.

The sound was barely audible.

It was almost like a cat landing on the ground.

Behind the alley was a narrow passageway.

There were several abandoned shared bicycles and two blue garbage bins piled up.

Bai Sheng dusted off his hands and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had brought two brothers with me.

It would be wrong to just leave like this.

But he doesn't plan to treat anyone.

If detectives discover such transaction records,

Those are all pieces of evidence!

If federal detectives come knocking and pull up the transaction records, how am I supposed to explain myself?

Who put this transfer record on my phone?

By then, even if you're right, you won't be able to explain yourself.

Bai Sheng took out his phone.

I sent a message to Jiahao:

"I came out for some fresh air and saw a federal agents' car parked outside. Do you want to come out?"

Chapter 21 Open the door, sweep the h

"I'll ride my bike back first, you can do as you please."

Bai Sheng added another message.

After sending the message, he scanned a shared bicycle.

He kicked twice,

The wheels rolled over the uneven cement road surface.

Clang, clang,

A few seconds,

The figure disappeared into the night at the alley entrance.

……

Bai Sheng rode a shared bicycle all the way back to Cuizhu Garden.

along the way,

My phone kept buzzing with messages.

Take it out and look at it.

Jiahao sent a screen full of question marks.

Bai Sheng simply ignored it.

After all, he was just a tool.

We used to be roommates,

In the future...

If there are no other circumstances, then he is just a passerby.
