The world waits for no one.
It was the first day of a new week.
The core of Sixiang City had been destroyed. Even under the scorching heat of the golden sun, mist had already begun to appear in some areas.
The occasional appearance of anomalies had already caused casualties.
At the school.
Chen Miemie had received an offer from a society. Feeling that he had negotiated a very high salary, he was in quite a good mood.
Leaving the recruitment fair, he ran into Yue Junyang head-on.
Now that they had officially graduated, the title of class monitor faded away with the wind.
"Chen Miemie! You're still alive? Didn't they say you were gone?"
"Maybe I'm just too low-key and got overlooked," Chen Miemie spouted nonsense.
"It's good that you're back. Don't leave yet. Those of us who successfully graduated are having a dinner gathering tonight. In the future, when we join different societies, we alumni need to look out for each other."
"What, you want to set up an alumni association or something?"
"An alumni association?! That's a great idea! Okay, I'll bring it up during dinner later. You can be my plant and take the lead in supporting it." Yue Junyang reacted as if he had found a treasure.
"I don't want to." Chen Miemie didn't want to be a plant.
"I'll give you 10 years of time."
"I'm not short on time."
"20 years."
"Hmph, not interested."
"30 years, I can't offer any more."
"Deal. President Yue."
"I'll add another 5 years. Just make sure Liu Bo doesn't jump out and cause trouble during dinner."
"Relax, I've got it covered."
Although Chen Miemie already had 3,000 years, he knew well that living off one's past wealth would eventually lead to ruin. Getting a free meal, earning some extra time, and slightly helping out an old classmate was perfectly fine.
Finally, they visited their teachers and strolled through the classrooms where they once studied. For this batch of graduates, who knew when they would return to the school again.
Dusk passed.
At 18:30 in a large restaurant outside the school, they gathered in the same private room as Class 3's last dinner.
This time, it was the graduates.
Out of the 19 graduates this year, 16 showed up in the private room. It was quite a good turnout.
Yue Junyang was the organizer. Being a bit more mature, he bustled about the room, trying his best not to leave anyone out.
Liu Bo had never liked him.
"Hmph, still loves showing off,"
Chen Miemie sat next to Liu Bo and muttered softly, "Liu Bo, Yue Junyang is going to propose an alumni association later. He gave us 5 years of time not to sabotage it. We'll split it half and half."
Liu Bo instantly changed his tune. "Successfully graduating is indeed something to celebrate. I won't bicker with Yue Junyang today."
"I heard that too. Everyone present gets a share, right?" This was a female voice.
Liu Bo was sitting on Chen Miemie's left, and this girl was sitting on his right.
"Who are you?" Chen Miemie and Liu Bo asked simultaneously.
"Yi Shuangzi."
"Oh, it's you, our great campus belle Yi. You've changed your appearance again today; I couldn't recognize you at all."
Chen Miemie was a bit displeased. "Even if you are the campus belle, you can't get something for nothing. Unless you take the lead in supporting Yue Junyang later, then I can spare you one year."
"Sure thing," Yi Shuangzi said with a grin.
Chen Miemie was truly shameless.
The job Yue Junyang paid him 30 years to do, he outsourced for the price of 1 year.
In the end, Yue Junyang would even have to thank him, as the support of the campus belle carried much more weight than Chen Miemie's.
"Classmates, from now on we'll be scattered far and wide. But as long as we're still in the same city, we can still visit each other frequently for mutual benefit. I propose we set up an alumni association. What do you say?"
Yue Junyang held his wine glass high, his face flushed with excitement.
"That's a great proposal! I'm in," Yi Shuangzi immediately chimed in.
No one found it abrupt.
After all, everyone present was a newly minted Mystic. Setting family backgrounds aside, their individual potentials were vast. Building long-term relationships through their classmates' bonds would benefit everyone in the future.
Many people dislike social dinners.
But if you actually attend, you can always pick up some information.
For instance, Chen Miemie learned that the city's mass-texted travel restrictions only applied to ordinary people and wouldn't restrict Mystics like them.
As long as they weren't afraid of unluckily running into anomalies while out, they could move about freely.
After dinner, Chen Miemie found Loop, who was waiting nearby, and they headed home together.
Home was apartment 1803 in the South District building.
It might not have been Chen Miemie's home before, but now he had decided it was.
Regardless of who the conspirators behind the scenes were, if anyone dared to object, they would first have to ask the three anomalies at home if they agreed.
At the door of apartment 1805.
Qinghua knocked on the door.
Joker opened the door.
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" Chen Miemie stood behind Qinghua, smiling brightly.
"It's not convenient. Let's go to your place." Joker seemed to be hiding some secret in his home.
"Alright."
The three of them arrived in the living room of Chen Miemie's home.
Loop didn't intentionally hide, so Joker saw her right away.
"This is Loop, my private nurse."
Joker frowned slightly.
Loop was wearing pants for disguise; on the surface, she looked just like a normal nurse.
Joker's lunatic intuition told him that the nurse in front of him was not simple. Her calm expression was like the quiet before a storm.
Joker wasn't a talkative person, so he didn't initiate any questions.
"First, let me return the 6 years of time I borrowed from you earlier."
Joker nodded, reaching out his hand to reveal his wristwatch.
"Joker, do you know when I moved into 1803?"
"I don't know when either. The night we played games was the first time I saw you."
"Let me ask it another way. Do you know who the previous tenant of this apartment was?"
"No one lived there before."
"No one? But this apartment is fully furnished. Are you saying you never saw anyone coming or going?"
"In the six months since I moved here, I haven't seen anyone."
"Alright, I understand. Thanks for the answers."
Before leaving, Joker paused slightly next to Loop. "You seem to have a scent on you that I'm very familiar with?"
The calmness on Loop's face broke, revealing a meaningful smile. "I heard you really like playing games? I like them too."
Joker returned home.
"My intuition shouldn't be wrong. That newly appeared woman named Loop carries the scent of madness. This 1803 is becoming more and more like a devil's den. Every time I enter, it's like staring into the abyss."
