Chapter 41 Going Home

On the Investigation Bureau’s official vehicle.

As soon as Luo Di and Wu Wen sat in the spacious back seats, the heating and massage functions automatically turned on, as if two soft arms were floating all over their bodies, instantly doubling their already intense drowsiness.

The driver’s voice came from the front seat, “I will take you to your home address in the personal information room.”

“Wait… let’s discuss this.”

The class monitor used one finger to pry open his eyelids as much as possible, turning his head to look at Luo Di beside him.

“How about I go to your house again? And then go back later… Dad will definitely be very happy that I survived this incident safely and received a reward from the Investigation Bureau, and he will relax his supervision of me a bit.”

Even if I go home late today, he’ll still think I was talking to the Investigation Bureau.

“Mainly, I want to watch a movie, and my clothes are still at your house.”

Luo Di hesitated for a moment when he heard the word ‘movie’. It seemed like watching a movie together would be a good idea, and the class monitor had already been to his house. In the end, he nodded and agreed.

“Driver, driver~ Just take us to his house!”

The driver intended to refuse based on the Investigation Bureau’s regulations, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, he saw that the two young men had already fallen asleep in the back seat.

This scene seemed to remind him of his youth, so he shook his head and helplessly stepped on the gas.

When the two woke up, four hours later, the official car was already parked in the outer parking lot of Thirteenth Resettlement Community.

The car is in sleep mode, and both the temperature and humidity are just right.

The driver, who was in the driver’s seat, was nowhere to be found.

As the two gradually regained consciousness, they discovered that the driver was scrolling through various videos on his wristband on a stone bench in the nearby residential area, with an empty bowl of noodles next to him.

Click~ The car door opens.

Seeing that the two young people had gotten out of the car, the driver leisurely walked back to the driver’s seat.

“Thank you,” the class monitor said politely.

The driver simply gave an OK sign and drove away.

“Ouch~ It’s so cold! I need to go home!”

The squad leader was still wearing the short-sleeved shirt and shorts that Luo Di had lent her last night. She had either been in the Investigation Bureau or sitting in the car, so she didn’t feel cold.

The community has been fully reopened.

As the two ran toward the deepest building, they encountered many residents along the way.

People hurried by, carrying large and small bags of luggage. Those residents who had previously hesitated about moving made a decisive decision to leave after last night’s events.

Luo Di didn’t care about these circumstances; he just wanted to get home as soon as possible.

Once again, stepping onto the familiar staircase, looking at the mottled walls of floor 【three】, the place was covered with Investigation Bureau seals, and the members in charge of cleanup were collecting the remaining pheromones inside.

The two continued uphill and returned to their home on the top floor.

Before Luo Di could even take out his key, the door was opened from the inside.

Three staff members wearing protective suits were also collecting residual information about Pseudo-human activities at Luo Di’s home, and they also helped with a thorough cleaning. They had just finished their work.

After checking each other’s identities, Luo Di and the class monitor finally returned to the warm room. Everything was normal, and the furniture and everything else were undamaged.

Seeing that his home remained unchanged, Luo Di breathed a sigh of relief.

【Half an hour later】

The class monitor came out of the bathroom, still wearing Luo Di’s short-sleeved shirt.

Compared to before the shower, the whole house had a rich, fragrant aroma, which immediately whetted the class monitor’s appetite.

Luo Di pointed to the freshly cooked fried egg noodles on the table and said, “Let’s just make do with this for lunch. You probably don’t want to go out to eat anyway.”

“Great! We can eat and watch movies again! Cheers to us for surviving!”

The class monitor picked up her bowl of noodles, which collided with Luo Di’s bowl.

She showed no signs of discomfort from being possessed or the mental stress of surviving a near-death experience, maintaining the same state as before the incident yesterday, her face beaming with happiness.

It seems that in the class monitor’s eyes, there is nothing happier than eating while watching a movie.

Luo Di originally wanted to talk to the class monitor about what happened last night, but seeing how anxious the other party was, he changed his mind and decided to watch the movie first.

Watching a movie with others is quite nice, and sometimes even more fun than watching it alone.

The movie’s runtime passed quickly.

The class monitor, like a good student who had just finished class, immediately started asking questions about the details of the movie. This kind of interaction gave Luo Di a kind of joy called “sharing”.

However, as the sharing session ended, the topic gradually shifted.

“Squad leader, you actually managed to wake up in time last night.”

“Isn’t that obvious? I happened to meet the suspect on the third floor during the day, and I also happen to fit the criteria of a victim.”

Besides, you unusually changed your mind about sleeping on the sofa late at night and instead let me sleep in your bedroom. I guess you must have sensed some kind of danger.

With all these factors combined, will I still be able to sleep peacefully?

Besides, I’ve received sleep training—I automatically wake up in the middle of the night with the slightest disturbance. I was already awake when you got out of bed.

“But you, it’s such a coincidence that you went to the toilet… What’s going on, Luo Di?”

When asked by the class monitor, Luo Di didn’t try to hide anything and recounted the nightmare brought to him by the Hell Tongue.

“It’s actually the Tongue we encountered during the practical training?”

Honestly, your 【demon possession】 has been completely removed, so how come you’re still getting danger warnings? Be careful~ Corner’s invasion is everywhere. If you sense anything is wrong, remember to contact the Research Bureau immediately.

“Hmm.” Luo Di nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

The class monitor’s furrowed brows quickly relaxed again. “Perhaps it’s not a big problem. After all, half a year has passed, and you go to the Research Bureau for testing every month.”

You yourself are not affected; perhaps it’s just an innate warning sign of danger that you were born with.

Whew~ It was really tough to survive this time, and we’ve gained quite a bit too.

Having the opportunity to interact with real Pseudo-humans in advance, or even Pseudo-humans with a year of experience, will further enhance your chances of admission to higher education.

Most importantly,

The Investigation Bureau is actually willing to give me their combat uniforms! Just thinking about it makes me excited.

“Is there anything special about that thing?” Luo Di was unaware of this knowledge that came from outside the textbook.

“I also heard from my tutor that the Investigator’s suit uses a special technology that is not just human technology, but may be related to the abnormal technology inside Corner.”

Although it’s just a simplified version, the basic functions should still be present.

How about this? In a few days, after I receive the clothes, I’ll go with you to the Research Bureau to collect your reward. I also want to see what happens to your knife if it absorbs Spider Woman’s intracranial blood.”

“We’ll contact you then.”

The class monitor, clutching a cushion in one arm and raising the other high, exclaimed, “Time’s running out! Let’s continue watching the movie!”

evening,

Luo Di will continue his night running training tonight, and will also take the opportunity to see the class monitor downstairs.

The light bulb that the class monitor removed from the corner yesterday has been replaced with a new one.

Handprints can still be seen occasionally on the handrails, steps, and ceiling.

As they approached the third floor, Wu Wen took the initiative to walk in front, her hands folded behind her back and swaying slightly, the movements even more pronounced than yesterday.

Even after passing the third floor, nothing came near; the hand was simply moving the air.

The class monitor clicked his tongue and stopped walking.

When Luo Di reached the same step as her, just like last night, he took the initiative to reach into her rough, unnatural-looking hand and gently hold it.

Although she wanted to complain, Sewing Gap could only manage to squeeze out two words.

“Thanks……”
