Chase Game

"Bingo! You guessed right, but there's no reward."

In contrast to Ling Miaomiao's relaxed expression, the Tibetan Mastiff's brows were furrowed.

After confirming Ling Miaomiao's status as a chosen one, things developed in a way that completely exceeded his expectations, becoming increasingly troublesome and gradually slipping out of his control.

In the real world, players cannot harm the Chosen Ones, but the Chosen Ones themselves do not have the ability to harm players; they can only control, imprison, or escape them.

Players' attacks are only effective against the Chosen One once they enter the instance and the Chosen One has confirmed their intervention in the game.

However, although he can start the game and forcibly pull players into the game, Ling Miaomiao is not a player!

To make matters worse, the chosen girl in front of her happened to have a source that she could use.

She could use all sorts of strange methods to buy time, but her own skills were of little use, or even completely useless.

It's just like a mischievous little girl teasing a dog.

The humiliation is secondary; the important thing is that if this drags on for too long, it will be troublesome when the association arrives.

Ling Miaomiao was also pondering this question: how to stall for long enough for the association's people to arrive?

If she were still an ordinary little girl, she would definitely run as far away as possible, but now that she has extraordinary abilities and the villains have deliberately run into her, there is no reason for her to let them go.

Ling Miaomiao's plan was to delay as much as possible and then hand the matter over to the association to bring them to justice.

The association detected the anomaly and immediately dispatched Li Qingping's team, along with Ling Zhangqiang, to investigate.

Ling Yi was driving a 7-seater minivan. He kept the accelerator floored the whole way and, with the added advantage of green lights, arrived at Beiguan No. 1 Middle School in less than 20 minutes.

The people in the car suffered terribly; they almost threw up their breakfast.

Tang Yuebai calmed his heaving chest and said to Li Qingping with lingering fear:

"Team leader, where did you find this Akina Mountain racing legend...?"

Du Hengbo, who had been glued to the game console, unusually put it in his pocket. He didn't say anything, but his face was ashen.

Liu Hao, Zhang Qiang, and Li Qingping are also not in good condition.

It can be said that apart from the driver Ling Yi, who was unharmed, everyone else on the bus was more or less in trouble.

With a swift, sweeping motion, Ling Yi parked the car and, without the slightest hesitation or lingering, pushed open the door and rushed straight into the school gate!

The gatekeeper, who was dozing off in the guardhouse, was so frightened that he quickly chased after them.

Fortunately, Liu Hao stepped forward and showed his identification, and Uncle Hat, who arrived at the scene at the same time, corroborated the story, thus preventing a misunderstanding.

Ling Yi ran into the campus and saw that the students coming and going didn't seem to notice anything unusual; at most, they would glance at him, a stranger.

From this perspective, it is at least not a large-scale incident like an indiscriminate attack.

So, where does the source of the [Awakening Bell] monitoring mechanism lie?

The thought of tracing the source only flashed through his mind for a moment before he put it aside for something else.

He needs to go check if Miaomiao is there first!

Everyone has selfish desires, and Ling Yi especially hoped from the bottom of her heart that nothing would happen to her loved ones.

He still remembered Miaomiao's classroom; he had been there before for parent-teacher conferences, so he ran as fast as he could.

He didn't care how to explain why he was there; he just wanted to make sure his sister was safe with his own eyes first.

When Ling Yi reached Ling Miaomiao's grade, he ran into Ye Yinyin, who had been invited to Miaomiao's home before and knew him, in the corridor.

"Huh? Aren't you Miaomiao's brother? Why...?"

Ling Yi calmed his erratic breathing and asked in a normal tone:

"Oh, I remember you, Miaomiao's friend. Um... have you seen my sister?"

Ye Yinyin shook her head and said, "We were on the playground together just now when Miaomiao suddenly said she left something in the cafeteria, so she went back to get it and hasn't come back yet."

A bad feeling rose in Ling Yi's heart, and she thought, "Could it be such a coincidence?"

He said thank you, turned around and ran downstairs, leaving Ye Yinyin standing alone in the corridor muttering to herself:

Why do those two siblings seem so secretive...?

When his expectations were dashed for the first time, Ling Yi's unease intensified. He went to the edge of the playground, knowing that he could no longer skimp on things.

At the cost of 250,000 RMB, he used [Ten Directions Grand View - Viewing the Past] again.

The price of 250,000 is incredibly cheap compared to losing a hand or a leg.

He spotted Ling Miaomiao in the crowd at a glance!

On the other side, Li Qingping's team also caught their breath.

Tang Yuebai asked, "Team leader, where should we begin our investigation?"

Li Qingping thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about Ling Yi, let's find the source of the anomaly as soon as possible."

His "Water of the Source" has no medium and cannot function; it is daytime now, so Tang Yuebai's "Bright Moon Hanging High" is also of little use.

Li Qingping looked at Du Hengbo, who, understanding the situation, pulled out his game console.

Zhang Qiang was left standing awkwardly to the side. He wasn't familiar with these people, and he hadn't followed Ling Yi when he got off the bus. Now he was stuck here, not knowing where to go.

Du Hengbo's skill is called "The World is a Game". A pixelated character appears in his game console, and there is an arrow pointing the way above the character's head.

As he took a step, the little figure inside the game console also took a step.

Just like completing a mission in a game, the arrows above their heads are the guides to their mission points.

Inside the main building, the Tibetan Mastiff's heart sank to the bottom. The worst had come. He was still entangled in the Chosen One's abilities, and the Association had probably already arrived.

Ling Miaomiao estimated that it was about time and prepared to retreat. Under normal circumstances, she would not want to meet the players face to face.

As for the Tibetan mastiff in front of her, she would also have to take some measures to erase its memory of her.

Tampering with memories is a unique method of the Chosen One. Although she can only make players forget her name and appearance, it is already enough.

The primordial light shone brightly, and the Tibetan Mastiff knew that the little girl was about to use some inexplicable skills again. Unfortunately, as a second-tier player, he had no way to stop her and could only helplessly let her unleash them.

Ling Miaomiao was gradually enveloped by this radiance, and at the same time, the Tibetan Mastiff's memory of her began to fade.

He would only remember that a chosen one had held him back, but he couldn't recall who that person was at all.

When Ling Miaomiao erased the Tibetan Mastiff's memory, she also put a final layer of restraint on him. If the association didn't arrive by the time he broke free, there was nothing she could do.

Her figure disappeared in the light.

Outside the main building, Ling Yi's "Looking Back" ended after he saw Ling Miaomiao enter the main building. At the same time, Li Qingping's team had also arrived.

Both sides understood each other implicitly and stepped into the complex together.
