Chase Game

Let's rewind to about fifteen minutes earlier at Beiguan No.1 Middle School.

This is the best middle school in the entire Beiguan City, with a century-old history, strong teaching staff, and excellent students.

The only downside might be that the campus is too old. In the past, if you said it was a symbol of historical and cultural heritage, people would believe you.

But that's no longer possible. From students to parents, everyone hopes for a better educational environment.

Fortunately, the new campus will be put into use soon. If Ling Miaomiao is to enter the high school next year, she will go to the new campus.

It's lunchtime and lunch break, and the basketball court is already packed with people. On the running track, students are doing post-lunch exercise in small groups.

Ling Miaomiao sat by the playground, chatting and gossiping with her girlfriends, unaware that someone was staring at her with malicious intent from the shadows.

This man was a Tibetan Mastiff, and he slipped in with ease.

The Tibetan Mastiff's plan was simple: briefly use its skills to kidnap Ling Miaomiao, take her to a remote suburb, and then use that to threaten Ling Yi into going there alone, thus eliminating him without leaving a trace before the association discovered it.

He was very confident in his abilities, and it was impossible for the association to detect his brief kidnapping of an ordinary little girl.

Even if they found out later, it was too late. By then, he had already killed Ling Yi and fled far away.

This is why he dared to take action openly in broad daylight.

If Ling Miaomiao is really just an ordinary little girl, then the Tibetan Mastiff's plan is indeed perfect.

Unfortunately, she was chosen by God.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Ling Miaomiao was having a pleasant conversation when suddenly, two dog barks echoed in her mind, and she stopped abruptly.

"Miaomiao, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly freeze?"

The girl with long hair next to her waved her hand in front of her.

Ling Miaomiao came to her senses, and a maturity that shouldn't belong to a young girl appeared in her eyes.

She gave the girl beside her an apologetic smile and said:

"Yinyin, I suddenly remembered that I left something in the cafeteria, I need to go back and get it."

"What is it? It can't be very valuable, can it? Should I go with you to look for it?"

"I can't help but ask," a girl named Ye Yinyin asked with concern.

However, Ling Miaomiao certainly wouldn't let her follow. She had already stood up, dusted off her bottom, and pressed Ye Yinyin, who was trying to stand up, back down, saying with a smile:

"No need, no need, I know where it is, I'll get it back quickly, and I'm going to be late anyway, you go back to the classroom first!"

"All right……"

Ye Yinyin hesitated as she watched her friend disappear from sight.

Ling Miaomiao certainly didn't go to the cafeteria. The barking of dogs in her head kept going on and on, and she knew without a doubt that something was wrong.

Now, he is following this guidance, or rather, this inducement, to find the player behind the scenes.

She was also wondering why a player would contact her. Had her identity been exposed?

That doesn't make sense. She's only been a Chosen One for a short time and has only just obtained her first source.

She had no reason not to investigate since the player was practically naming her, especially since the player couldn't harm her in the real world anyway.

With this thought in mind, she arrived in front of the main building.

This building is almost exclusively used by teachers, but it's lunchtime now, and most of the teachers have gone out to eat, so there's hardly anyone here.

The Tibetan Mastiff emerged from the shadows, and a cold smile crept across his face as he looked at the girl walking toward him.

Hehe, your mind must be a complete mess right now. Don't worry, you'll be reunited with your brother soon, though, underground.

He brought a large suitcase, which was more than enough to fit Ling Miaomiao inside.

Just as he was about to step forward and make a move, the girl's words made his eyes widen.

Ling Miaomiao frowned, looking very displeased, and she rebuked:

"You perverted old man, is it you who keeps barking like a dog in my head?"

The Tibetan Mastiff was nearly speechless with astonishment, a string of questions swirling in his mind.

What happened?

Shouldn't you be completely confused right now, knowing nothing and just letting yourself be manipulated?

My skill failed?

"Hey old man, you're not some kind of perverted monster who only preys on pretty girls, are you?"

Ling Miaomiao could tell from the Tibetan Mastiff's bewildered expression that he didn't recognize her at all.

Then he must be the kind of evil person who uses players' abilities to commit crimes!

The Tibetan Mastiff also snapped out of its daze. It saw that the girl was clear-headed and did not seem to be affected by its skills at all.

There's only one possibility: she's not an ordinary person at all!

In other words, was the information provided by the crow incorrect, or was it intentional?

No, he quickly denied it, saying that he had no reason to harm me, and that doing so could affect the Lord's plans, so it was even less likely to be intentional.

Therefore, the crow also made a mistake.

After brainstorming and arriving at this conclusion, he knew he had to leave. If he were to confront the girl now, the association would definitely be able to detect it.

At that time, not only will my identity be exposed, but I might also lose my life.

He turned to jump out the window and run away, but Ling Miaomiao would not let him have his way.

"You got what you deserved for running into me!"

She said with disgust, while a ball of white light condensed in her right hand.

With a gentle flick towards the Tibetan Mastiff, the light transformed into a chain that tightly wrapped around the mastiff's neck.

"A vicious dog should be kept on a leash."

Ling Miaomiao looked at the Tibetan Mastiff, which it couldn't break free from, and said this.

The Tibetan Mastiff's heart sank; it seemed it had no choice but to risk being detected by using its skills.

He landed on all fours like a dog, and his body began to change. His limbs became strong, and long black hair grew all over his body, just like a Tibetan Mastiff.

It was at this moment that he was detected by the [Awakening Bell].

He whimpered, opened his mouth wide, and bit down on the chain.

Click!

The chains snapped, and without lingering, he immediately jumped out the window and ran away.

Ling Miaomiao did not give chase. The broken chains returned and condensed once again into a ball of light in her palm, which was the source she had obtained.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test my new ability."

She looked with great interest at the primordial radiance in her hand, which began to solidify and soon formed a smooth crystal ball.

The crystal ball was displaying a scene of a Tibetan mastiff darting about like the wind, with a broken chain hanging around its neck. It was this that Ling Miaomiao used to track its location.

Now, in front of the Tibetan Mastiff is an artificial fountain. As he leaps high into the air, Ling Miaomiao's lips curl into a crescent moon, and then she snaps her fingers.

Hey!

The Tibetan Mastiff's body suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was still in front of Ling Miaomiao, but the chain around its neck had disappeared.

At this moment, his face finally paled in shock as he realized something was amiss with the ball of light in Ling Miaomiao's hand, and he exclaimed in alarm:

"You're not a player, you're... the Chosen One!"
