Chapter 42: Strange Fragrance, the Disappearance of the Class Beauty

At the top of the back mountain is the lair of the Gu-eating Demonic Spider.

A small golden and white snake woke up leisurely, turned over on the ground net, and rolled twice.

"Sleep so comfortable..."

Because Bai Jie reduced the viscosity of the ground net to a minimum, and the snake's body surface was smooth, and pure water could seep out from between its scales, it was able to do so freely.

She tried her best to sense it and searched around the spider nest, but she didn't find the eight-legged figure she was expecting.

"Where's Sister Bai Zhi?"

"Eh? What does it smell like? It smells so good..."

Bai Huahua shook her little head up and down, and found that the spider nest was filled with a strange fragrance, and immediately looked for the source of the strange fragrance in the spider nest.

She found a corpse in the corner, and her two ruby-like eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is this...Sister Bai Zhi's shed skin?"

...

Starcom University, the classroom of the first class in the morning.

Chen Zhang and Wang Xiaofan came to the back row and sat down. Before class time, the classroom was already buzzing with people.

"Hey, did you hear that there was a fire in the back of the school last night?"

"Of course, and it is said that several human corpses were found on the mountain!"

"Huh? It's true. No wonder I heard a lot of noise outside last night and couldn't sleep well."

"Grandma Li's. I suspect that the fire was caused by a couple who lit a cigarette after finishing their work in the back mountain."

"Impossible. I heard that the fire started in the shade. No couple would go to the shady side of the back mountain to do business. It's so gloomy and full of poisonous insects."

"That's right, that damn place, once a shot comes down, you will feel a little bit cold at least, but you won't be able to get up again if it's more severe."

Chen Zhang: "..."

Wang Xiaofan looked sleepy and was not interested in the topics discussed by others because he stayed up all night playing games again last night.

Chen Zhang suddenly had a thought in his mind, that maybe if Bai Jie was still here, he would definitely make him complain about the fire last night.

Once upon a time, Chen Zhang also liked to discuss campus ghost stories, because Bai Jie followed him to talk nonsense.

Looking back now...he was absent-minded, only thinking about where Wang Miaoyun would be.

And...what happened to Bai Jie? Why didn't you show up?

When he thought of this, he felt uncontrollably uneasy.

He wanted to share the secret that Bai Jie was still alive, but he had scruples, fearing that he would harm Bai Jie.

At this time, Chen Zhang suddenly smelled a fragrance in his nose. He turned around and saw that it was monitor Xia Qimeng who suddenly sat on his left side.

In the past, this position belonged to Bai Jie.

"Are you sure that Wang Miaoyun is related to He Jun's disappearance?" Xia Qimeng whispered.

"Since He Jun disappeared, Wang Miaoyun hasn't had any classes. Don't you think it's a coincidence? And I saw them together with my own eyes." Chen Zhang looked straight ahead and said.

Xia Qimeng said calmly: "I asked the monitor of the new media class and he said that Wang Miaoyun took sick leave and stayed in the dormitory these days."

Chen Zhang snorted coldly, "You have a guilty conscience."

Xia Qimeng glanced at Chen Zhang helplessly.

"Since you suspect that Wang Miaoyun is the same as Zheng Yueling, you should know that they have some kind of weird ability that ordinary people like us can't deal with."

"Let everything be left to the Criminal Investigation Department and law enforcement officials."

Chen Zhang pondered for a while and then said: "Let's not talk about it anymore. Gaia Technology contacted me. To be precise, it was Liu Wei who found me and hoped that I would cooperate with them."

"What?"

Xia Qimeng's face changed slightly, and she blurted out: "I want you to participate in the human body mechanization transformation experiment?"

He seemed to realize that his voice was a little loud and quickly covered his mouth.

Chen Zhang nodded slightly: "That's right."

"They believe that the smart brain crystal integrates well with my body, and there is no rejection reaction from the beginning after implantation, so it is very suitable for further mechanized transformation."

Chen Zhang's tone was very calm, as if he was describing a small matter that had nothing to do with him.

Xia Qimeng frowned and sighed, "You were indeed targeted by them. Maybe I shouldn't have introduced you to implant the brain crystal in the first place... They must have promised you many benefits, right?"

She thought about Chen Zhang's family background and very ordinary conditions. In a society where many wealthy families have purchased highly intelligent devices to assist learning, it is not easy to train a student like Chen Zhang to go to a prestigious school.

She thought that Liu Wei and the others must have made an offer that Chen Zhang could not refuse.

Chen Zhang shook his head, "I haven't promised them yet."

"However, the benefits are really exciting, including high remuneration that I may never earn in my lifetime, and being able to directly work in Gaia Technology's security department after graduation."

Xia Qimeng looked at Chen Zhang with complicated eyes, always feeling that the latter had begun to change after Bai Jie disappeared.

Chen Zhang used to be very cheerful, like many boys who were full of hope for their future, but now, he seems to be a few years older.

He must have something on his mind.

"But what I care about most is actually the powerful power that can be obtained after mechanized transformation." Chen Zhang continued.

"Liu Wei said that Yong'an City is not very safe now, and so is the entire Federation. I am afraid there will be more instability in the future. It is crucial to have a power under your own control. I can also help some people."

"I don't want to... see things like Brother Jie and He Jun happening around me again."

"I even became the seventh missing person."

Xia Qimeng retracted her gaze, lowered her eyelids, hiding her emotions, as if she was staring at her nails.

She did not comment, but just said lightly: "Well, think carefully."

......

After a morning of waiting without success, Bai Jie was a little discouraged.

It slowly swung back to the spider nest in the back mountain, and then found that the uninvited guest was rolling around on his web...

"Excuse me, what are you doing?"

There was a slight hoarseness in the cold and noble voice.

"Well, sister Bai Zhi, you are back?"

The golden and white little snake stopped its strange rolling behavior, raised its upper body, and crawled towards Bai Jie in surprise.

The little snake circled around the spider and transmitted a voice: "Sister, when I woke up, I found that your house smelled so good, so good! Can you let me stay here?"

Bai Huahua said softly and coquettishly, and then seamlessly added: "It doesn't matter if there is no water!"

"......"

Fragrance?

What fragrance? How can there be fragrance in the spider nest! ?

Even if there was a smell, it was the fishy smell left by the evil python yesterday and the pungent smoke from the fire.

Bai Jie thought it was just an illusion for the little snake, and shook his head firmly, saying, "No, go back to your pond."

Last night was already an accident, how could it let another girl stay overnight?

Bai Huahua suddenly became weak, and fell to the ground with a snap, pretending to be dead.

Bai Jie: Haha.

The next second, the hissing sound of electric arcs and the blue-purple light appeared in the spider's nest.

The golden and white little snake trembled, and ran away in a whoosh.
