...I knocked on the door a few more times, but there was no response. I rang the doorbell again, but the door showed no sign of opening.

The girl with cherry-pink hair stood at the door, looking up blankly at the locked door.

At this moment.

A cleaning lady passing by the corridor seemed to notice the poor child placed in the playroom at the door.

"Uh, little sister." She said in a warning tone, "If you are looking for the guest staying in this room."

"More than an hour ago, I seemed to have seen him leave the hotel alone. Maybe he was looking for a midnight snack?"

"How about...you give them a call and try?"

The kind words reached the girl's ears.

She turned her head politely and nodded to her aunt to thank her for her kindness.

——Silence is the hotel tonight.

There was a long silence.

".....no."

Miss Indomitable Ex-Girlfriend whispered.

She suddenly raised her head and looked out the window, and a firm and unyielding look suddenly appeared on her pretty face that had suffered a great blow.

"I can't allow the vacation I applied for with great difficulty to be wasted for such an inexplicable reason!"

What’s the difference between this and sleeping at home on the weekend and suddenly receiving a phone call to work overtime?

She doesn't accept it!

So, the girl's dormant fighting spirit rose again with the flames of starlight, and she took small steps towards the city that was plunged into the night.

The clear voice made a resolute declaration.

"Temporarily change Plan B, tentatively named - 'An unexpected encounter at a roadside alley, round 2!'"

143-Instructions for Using the Words of Mouth and Body of Honesty

Chu Yan shuddered suddenly.

"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so cold..."

He folded his arms, turned his head and looked around, his expression full of puzzlement.

It's hard to describe that feeling.

It's a bit like he was on vacation at home and happened to have a holiday from work.

I originally planned to play video games for two consecutive days over the weekend to have some fun.

As a result, a guy who was secretly making keys ran in.

With a cheerful smile on her face, she grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, and gleefully dragged him out for a shopping date.

Chu Yan shook his head.

"As expected, after the beginning of autumn, the night weather has also become colder..."

Looking around at the neon lights in the night, I wrapped my coat tightly around me.

Muttered:

"When we get back, we have to remind Yilu to put on more clothes."

"Don't think you can always run around in cool clothes like you did on that rainy night. Sooner or later you'll get sick and catch a cold."

Go out this time.

He didn't have the white-haired loli with him.

I made up a random excuse to go out and buy dinner and left the hotel alone.

Because, he wanted to do the "experimental test" tonight.

If his conjecture is true...

——Then maybe it’s not suitable for children to watch.

.......

As a big city with a population of nearly ten million.

The night in Ruyun City is obviously much more lively than that in a second-tier small county like Zhanlin City.

From the delivery guys running around the streets and the constant flow of people on the main roads, it can be seen that everyone has a rich nightlife.

Chu Yan also saw a department store not far away.

There were some young ladies wearing cosplay costumes, and it seemed like there was some activity going on nearby.

Holding a billboard, she spoke the character's voice shyly with a smile on her face. Every time she made a cool pose, she attracted cheers from the people around her.

It was quite lively.

"so....."

Chu Yan muttered softly to himself.

Stop and take a step.

On the street, at the intersection of night and human voices, the vehicles around him passed by like flowing lights, while he stood in the most bustling center of the city.

The boy looked up at the large, conspicuous screen on the department store's high-rise building.

The inky black eyes clearly reflected the bustling scenery.

He said quietly:

"——If you want to start a new branch, some catastrophic 'leading event' will happen."

"From the perspective of novel clichés, isn't it the most suitable to use this noisy and peaceful scene as the background?"

The so-called side storyline.

It serves to polish the rhythm of the story, deepen the emotional connection between the male and female protagonists, and also lay the foundation for some worldview screenwriting techniques.

Its role can be said to be crucial.

If there were no side plots, and the main plot was being advanced from beginning to end...

It was like a bare tree trunk.

The main body is solid and powerful, but the content is boring.

As an author and a senior reader, Chu Yan can certainly understand it.

——If the robbers kidnapped the eldest daughter, and the protagonist was heartbroken for only one night, he swore in front of his parents' portrait that he would bring his childhood sweetheart back.

Then I was shocked to find out, "Ah! So the robbers' base is right next door to my house?"

Then, the robbers were so happy about their successful kidnapping that everyone got drunk and passed out, even forgetting to lock the door.

The protagonist called the police directly, and a large group of people suppressed the robbers by breaking the door with firepower.

The young lady was still even asleep and had no idea that she was being "rescued by a hero". When she woke up and saw the protagonist's reassuring smile, she felt confused.

Wouldn't that story be boring?

The so-called wonderful story——

There must be a huge explosion, a gun battle between the two sides chasing each other on the highway, and a countdown that cannot be stopped until the last second!

It makes one's blood boil and blood vessels rush, and the whole heartstrings are tightly tied to the ups and downs of the story.

in this way.

Only then can it be called wonderful.

"The premise is." Chu Yan stared at the noisy yet quiet intersection, "That story is just a story, a fictional novel."

As if talking to himself, he whispered, "Nearly ten students from the 'Plane Protagonist Academy' have come to this city on a luxury train."

"Not only that, this also happens to happen at the beginning of the school year, which represents the transition from the ordinary world to the abnormal world. It can be said to be an opening scene at the official performance level."

"Such a luxurious scene configuration, such luxurious actors and actresses."

“From my perspective as an author.”

"——If we don't blow this city to rubble and kill thousands or even tens of thousands of people, it would be a bit of an exaggeration."

Chu Yan smiled calmly.

But there was no trace of ease in his gentle and calm smile.

He pulled out his cell phone...

Opened Notepad.

Above, it was after receiving the notification of off-campus courses.

Chu Yan immediately spent the entire night.

Collected from the Internet - various news cases that have occurred in recent months since he entered school.

Densely packed line index.

The reports of seemingly trivial matters are connected by lines.

He also added some simple annotations, as well as his personal judgments and guesses.

It's like a clue map that a detective pins to the wall to help him organize his thoughts.

——Chu Yan recorded it in detail and meticulously on the manuscript paper on his mobile phone.

And at the end of this notebook.

Countless arrows finally eliminated the vast majority of possibilities, leaving only a few judgments.

They are categorized by numbers.

And at the very top where those arrows are pointing.

The words in bold are: "The terrorist perpetrator of a large-scale bombing is still on the run."

[On August 8, the fifth large-scale explosion occurred in xx city square, causing 27 deaths and injuries.]

[The modus operandi was the same as the last time, but the distance was only three days. Theoretically, there is no means to move such a long distance.]

[It is currently impossible to determine whether this is a copycat crime. This incident has caused widespread panic, and the public opinion urging the arrest of the criminal is intensifying...]

This information.

These are all information that Chu Yan can find on the Internet and make judgments based on.

——Judging from the comprehensive conditions, he felt that this was the most likely target among the dozen or so items on record.

He wasn't sure if his guess was correct.

In fact, it is very likely that he was just imagining things. The school might have asked them to travel far away and just picked someone to practice with.

after all.

If the college had accurate information about the suspect's movements, why didn't they tell the police?

Rather than asking a group of young students to take action.

No matter how you think about it, it would be more reliable to leave it to a trustworthy adult, right?

If that was the case - then Chu Yan's preparation for the investigation was purely a battle of wits and courage with the air.

It would probably seem a bit ridiculous and a waste of effort.

but.....

Chu Yan didn't care about this.

His habit has always been to do his best to be prepared for any eventuality and to plan ahead within the limits of what he can do.

If these surveys are of no use.

He just thought of it as missing a night's sleep and used it to catch up on the latest current affairs news.
