Where can one hide in a city?

In the streets, alleys, and narrow residential areas with high population density, it is very troublesome to know how many people live there, how many are new arrivals, and how many are long-standing residents.

matter.

Unless you check every corner thoroughly, it will be difficult to find the target person.

Moreover, to go to war in such a big way when there is no definite evidence... the superiors will not approve it.

If you use personal power, the efficiency will be too slow.

For the time being, the special department attributed the burly man's extremely bad luck to other places.

They even considered whether this human being was infected by a supernatural being, like some of the people they imprisoned underground.

After some inspection, they found that it was really just ordinary bad luck.

So the direction of the investigation also changed.

None of this has anything to do with Gao Tianyi, who goes to school normally the next day.

On the night when he sneaked back to the Taoist temple, the underage high school student was scolded.

The elders in the Taoist temple held his ears and lectured him, saying that the most likely college student in their Taoist temple must not make mistakes.

Gao Tianyi quickly promised not to skip classes for a period of time in the future as a guarantee to save his ears.

Then the young man returned to his room, playing with the gray-black residue of the fire, and even took out the tortoise shell at the bottom of the box, trying to divine fortune.

The young man tossed his willow branches from the moon to the sky turning fish belly white. After he yawned and went to school, he was still brooding over the results of his divination.

The divination result is inconclusive.

Gao Tianyi tried repeatedly, until cracks appeared on the tortoise shell, but he still didn't get an answer.

No... maybe there is an answer.

The young man held up the cracked tortoise shell and stared at the pale sky with his eyes wide open.

He felt that there was something more-- hiding the result.

Gao Tianyi thought for sure, and then he was beaten.

Because of the old tortoise shells in Huo Huo's inventory, he was chased around several times by his own master with a broom, and he was not let go until it was time to go to school.

The next step is to go to school and face the empty desks of classmates, and then when school is over, classmates suggest going to visit the doctor.

Gao Tianyi, who was just an observer, had only one thought after listening: Don't you do your homework at all?

If students are too lively, then there must be too little homework.

Gao Tianyi sighed.

If you go to visit a doctor, just go and visit him. Anyway, he has no extracurricular activities at the moment.

All thoughts about the extremely low luck value were blocked, and he did not want to go to Baisu for the time being.

So several high school students pooled their money to buy a fruit basket after school and headed to the address of the round-faced boy's home.

The subway provides a lot of convenience to the city, but the premise is that the place you want to go is near the subway.

The round-faced boy’s home happens to be not on the subway line, so he has to walk a long way after getting off the subway.

As the road went further and further, Gao Tianyi couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the road on the wrong track?"

The leading boy looked at the address and navigation on his hand and nodded: "Yes, it is in this direction. I asked the teacher for the address."

They are now on the edge of a shopping mall and square, and going further down is the old alley, and there will be more people in a mess.

Several students looked at me and I looked at you, but they continued walking.

After entering the alley, I went around a few circles under the guidance of the navigation system and found the home of the round-faced boy with difficulty.

After ringing the doorbell for a while, someone came out to open the door. It was a round-faced boy with a somewhat pale complexion.

He opened the door for others and took two steps back.

The classmate carrying the fruit basket raised his hand and said, "I told you on my phone during the day that I would come over to see you."

The round-faced boy frowned, remained silent for a moment, and said vaguely: "I must have been sleeping during the day, so I didn't see... You guys come in first."

Several people filed in and squeezed into this small room.

Unexpectedly, the decoration inside the house that looks a bit old from the outside is warm and orderly, full of life.

The smoking kettle, the branches and leaves of plants bent by water droplets after watering, and the old clock making a ticking sound on the dining table.

The doors and windows are closed and there is not much ventilation. Even in such an environment where the temperature is higher than outside, the round-faced boy is still wrapped in thick clothes, and his classmates feel hot just looking at him.

The classmate thought so and asked: "Aren't you hot in wearing so many clothes?"

The round-faced boy shook his head, pulled the collar of his coat towards the middle, and shivered: "It's not hot, it's still a little cold."

His strange reaction was worrying. The only female classmate who came to visit couldn't help but asked: "Do you have a fever? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

The very ordinary inquiry aroused the overreaction of the round-faced boy. He shook his head and refused while coughing: "Cough cough cough... I don't have a fever. I have taken medicine. Just rest."

Seeing that his classmate was really insisting, the few people who came to visit the patient didn't say much. They put the fruit basket on the table where there was room, and then sent the sick round face back to the bedroom with discomfort.

The latter said no, but after several attempts to block the students' enthusiasm, they had no choice but to let the students with their homework into the room.

The high school boys' room is a bit messy. Workbooks, tutorials, and textbooks are piled messily on the table, and some interest-related furnishings occupy the floor and the other side of the bed.

The round-faced boy couldn't refuse, so he lay back on the bed and let his classmates sit wherever they wanted.

Then, the classmate who came to visit the patient affectionately took out the homework given to him.

It’s okay not to mention the workload of senior high school students.

The expression on the face of the round-faced boy who was hit by several papers froze. He buried himself under the quilt and said sadly: "Actually, you don't need to bring this for me."

The classmate who visited the patient laughed and replied: "How can that be possible? We share the joys and sorrows, and we all write the papers together."

"By the way, don't you have any family members to take care of you when you are sick?"

"When you have to go to work, the food is ready. All you need to do is heat it up."

"Oh, that's it."

The classmates who visited the patient later told the round-faced boy what happened at school during the day, and while talking, they also talked about the newly learned knowledge.

Gao Tianyi was not interested in lecturing people, so he walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

There was a stack of comic books at his feet, placed at the foot of the bed. Two steps further away, there were a few formula books that had not been placed properly and fell to the ground. The books fell in front of the cabinet, and inside the cabinet were some hand-drawn books.

Make a model, etc.

The quantity is not large, but it is exquisite. It can be seen that its owner still takes good care of his favorite things.

"What kind of anime is this from?" Gao Tianyi asked, pointing to the top rightmost figure in the cabinet.

The round-faced boy with a painful mask on the bed raised his head and said, "This is not an anime, it's a game."

After hearing this, Gao Tianyi continued to wait for the round-faced boy to say more, such as which game and character this was, but the round-faced boy was silent.

The underage high school student looked back and saw a little confusion on the faces of his classmates.

But soon, the confusion was hidden by him, and the round-faced boy slid into the bed in dismay, showing a suddenly uncomfortable look.

The classmates didn't bother much when they saw this, they just went out as they came in, and they were very considerate and helped the round-faced boy with some housework.

For example, pour water, heat up rice, sweep the floor, take out the garbage, etc., giving the round-faced boy enough time to do his homework.

Gao Tianyi was also taken out with him. A bag of garbage was stuffed in his hand, and he was still thinking when he stood at the door.

I always feel that my classmates’ reaction is a little wrong, but I can’t explain it in a short time.

The moment of confusion can also be said to be that he was confused and did not think of it immediately. Considering that there was a patient opposite...wait a minute, he still cared about it.

He was almost at the bottom of the stairs when Gao Tianyi neatly handed the garbage bag in his hand to his classmate.

"I left something at his house, I'll go up there again!"

With that said, the underage high school student ran upstairs, leaving the shouts of his classmates behind.

Gao Tianyi returns to the doorstep of the round-faced boy.

He knocked at the door. This time, unlike before, there was no answer.

I haven’t mastered illegal lock-picking methods, but underage high school students have their own methods.

The young man took out a book from his schoolbag and took out a small paper figure sandwiched between the pages.

It’s the same style as the little paper figures we played last Friday. I haven’t run out of game characters for my classmates to cut out and play with. Another question is that the domestic ones are difficult to cut.

The paper man easily got in through the crack in the door, then stepped on the furniture inside the door and jumped to a high place. Finally, he landed on the door handle and opened the door from the inside.

After Gao Tianyi opened the door and entered through special means, he called out the round-faced boy's name twice, but no one answered.

Having a bad premonition, Gao Tianyi rushed into the bedroom without even having time to drag his shoes or change them.

The person covered by the quilt lay there silently, and only the ups and downs of the quilt represented that the person was still alive.

Gao Tianyi stepped forward and pulled down the quilt covering the round-faced boy's head, revealing an obviously covered face.
