Chapter 135 Disturbance

[One Week Later, During Self-Study Class.]

With the arrival of the transition announcement, the environment surrounding Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi changed once more.

Having previously been standing, they were now seated again, back in their classroom seats.

Both knew that after successfully preventing Xiong Ji from being arrested, they wouldn't have much time to communicate. So, after the transition, they quickly exchanged information about the system's announcements and made some analyses…

[Successfully disrupted the investigation of the "Penguin Assistant's Death" incident]

[Xiong Ji's Hatred Towards You +3%]

The above three sentences were the system prompts Wang Tanzhi heard when Yuan Ji was arrested. At the same second, Feng Bujue heard similar prompts; however, this time, Jue-Ge only received 50 skill points, and Xiong Ji's hatred towards him only increased by 1%...

Combining this with the previous system prompts, two patterns could be analyzed: First, the more effort put into disrupting an investigation and the more thoroughly it was done, the more skill points were gained. Second, the more effort a player put into helping Xiong Ji escape punishment, the higher Xiong Ji's hatred towards them became.

"There haven't been any cases lately, so boring~"

Just as Jue-Ge and Xiao Tan were about to begin a discussion about "Xiong Ji's Hatred Value," Tu Mei's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Because Xiong Ji and Tu Mei were sitting in the row behind the two players, their conversation could be heard very clearly.

"...Just try to twist your head off and see, Xiong Ji-jun." Tu Mei said the latter half of the sentence in a very calm tone, not sounding like she was joking at all.

"N-no way!" Xiong Ji retorted, covered in sweat, "What kind of case is that?"

"Then... go find a corner in the school and turn into a skeleton," Tu Mei said again.

"No way! I'll die!" Xiong Ji replied with a look of sorrow.

"Then mummify yourself," Tu Mei seemed to completely miss the point of Xiong Ji's words, and then said, "Mummification should be fine, right? Just the upper body needs to change."

"I've never heard of that kind of mummy!" Xiong Ji shouted.

"Eh—everyone, please pay attention for a moment." Just then, Panda Teacher appeared on the platform and said loudly to the whole class, "It is said that a flasher has been appearing near the school recently. If anyone encounters him, report it to the teacher immediately."

"Y-you see! Tu Mei-chan." Xiong Ji, as if having found a life-saving straw, immediately said to Tu Mei, "A case has happened! A shameless flasher case!"

"Flasher, huh..." Tu Mei calmly turned her head, looked at Xiong Ji, "Could it be you?"

"It's not!" Xiong Ji put on an innocent look, waved his hand and denied it, "Don't push everything onto me~ Don't do that, it's very rude!"

At that moment, Jue-Ge and Xiao Tan were both shouting the same line in their hearts; "Rude my ass! It's obviously you!"

"The victim yesterday was Miao Mei..." On the platform, Panda Teacher said, taking a step to the right and raising his hand, "Miao Mei, can you tell us about what happened then."

Miao Mei had somehow already stood next to the platform, which was the location the teacher was pointing at. After receiving the teacher's permission, she said in a slightly soft voice, "Yesterday after school, Xiong Ji-jun was naked and grinning, following behind me all the way to my doorstep."

Before her voice faded, Tu Mei's eyes turned sharp...

And the focus of her gaze, naturally, shifted to Xiong Ji once again.

"Tch... it's me again." Xiong Ji's innocent face instantly became lewd, "It can't be helped..." He even smiled, "Please."

That "please" contained too much information...

Of course, even if he didn't say it, Tu Mei would unceremoniously call the police.

"Wait!" Faced with this development, how could Feng Bujue sit idly by? He suddenly turned his head and said to Tu Mei, "Are you going to rashly call the police again? Tu Mei-chan."

Tu Mei stopped dialing, looked up at Jue-Ge and said, "Rashly?" She paused for a moment, "In this situation, do you still want to say... that Xiong Ji is innocent?"

"That's right." Feng Bujue's expression was solemn as he nodded in a deep voice.

"No way..." Even Xiao Tan, who was standing next to him, felt lacking in confidence, muttering in his heart, "His perverted behavior has already been pointed out on the spot... can he still escape punishment like this?"

"Then I'd like to hear it..." Tu Mei really put down her phone and asked curiously, "What kind of reasoning do you have?"

"Teacher!" At this moment, Jue-Ge suddenly stood up, waved a cat's paw, pointed at the teacher and said, "Could you allow me to say a few words to the whole class?"

"Sure." Panda Teacher replied very calmly, "Anyway, this is self-study class, you can come up and say it."

"Then I won't be polite." Feng Bujue smiled upon hearing this and walked onto the platform without fear.

He stood behind the platform, propped his hands on the desk, and without saying a word, first used his cat eyes to scan everyone in the entire classroom.

That aura… more like a teacher than the real teacher.

"Everyone!" After a moment, Jue-Ge opened his mouth, "Let me ask... have you ever had this kind of experience?" He continued with a burning gaze, "...When you are concentrating on doing something, you will ignore all irrelevant details."

"Yes!" Only one falcon in the classroom responded to him in the fastest and loudest tone, the other students remained silent.

"Very good." Feng Bujue replied, "What I want to say is... yesterday, Xiong Ji-jun experienced exactly this kind of situation." He pointed to Xiong Ji, "Like Rodin, Archimedes, Diogenes... when they are focused on something, even the threat of death will be ignored."

"So... he was so focused on stalking that he forgot to put on clothes?" Tu Mei interjected from below.

"Cat Sanlang." Panda Teacher replied, "Even if, as you said, Xiong Ji-jun 'forgot to put on clothes,' the act of stalking itself is perverted behavior."

"Nay~ nay..." Feng Bujue shook his head and replied, "Teacher, you have all misunderstood Xiong Ji-jun... he was not stalking Miao Mei-chan, but protecting her."

"What the hell..." Xiao Tan, who was sitting below and listening, was shocked, thinking, "Can this kind of twisted logic... hold up?"

"Just as you said earlier, teacher, recently there has been a flasher appearing near the school." On the platform, Jue-Ge's heresy continued, "This rumor has long been widely known, so... female students must be frightened when walking home alone after school."

As Feng Bujue spoke, he turned his head and looked at Miao Mei: "Miao Mei, am I wrong about this?"

"Uh... that's right." Miao Mei nodded in response.

"Well, let's look at Xiong Ji-jun again." Feng Bujue pointed to Xiong Ji again, "As everyone knows, he himself has a tendency to be a flasher."

"I don't think he just has a tendency..." Tu Mei whispered.

"Don't interrupt, Tu Mei-chan." Feng Bujue quickly stopped the other party's rebuttal, and preempted, "As a person with a tendency to be a flasher, Xiong Ji-jun... should be the most capable of understanding the mentality of a flasher. Therefore... he felt that he should use this unique advantage to make some contributions to his classmates."

"So... a pervert with a sense of social responsibility..." Xiao Tan narrowed his eyes and squeezed out these words from between his teeth, he really couldn't hold back the urge to retort.

"Driven by this sense of responsibility, Xiong Ji-jun decided..." Feng Bujue said with excitement and righteousness, "To actively take on the important task of 'protecting female students who walk home alone along the way'." He faced Xiong Ji and said loudly, "Right? Xiong Ji-jun!"

"Eh?" Xiong Ji was stunned by the question, "Y-yes... right?"

"The truth is revealed!" Feng Bujue said, "The reason why Xiong Ji followed Miao Mei home is this... the grin on his face must have just been a simple smile, because he wasn't wearing any clothes, so he was mistaken for an evil smile. As for why he was naked... purely because he was constantly thinking about how to deal with the flasher, and unconsciously... he also forgot to put on clothes."

"Impossible..." Wang Tanzhi's bird face was囧, thinking, "Even if this is a universe full of retorts and absurd logic, it shouldn't be fooled by such a set of arguments..."

Xiao Tan's thoughts were correct, but...

"Xiong Ji-jun, is that how it was?" After listening to Jue-Ge's words, Miao Mei's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Xiong Ji, "I'm... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"

"Pretty good, Xiong Ji-jun, I'm looking at you in a new light." Tu Mei also turned her head and praised Xiong Ji.

A few seconds later, there was a burst of applause in the classroom... It seemed that the whole class had accepted this setting.

[Successfully disrupted the investigation of the "Flasher Stalking" incident]

[Xiong Ji's Hatred Towards You +5%]

The system announcement immediately entered the ears of the two players.

This time, the skill points Feng Bujue received were consistent with those obtained in the "Stalker Letter" incident, but Xiong Ji's hatred towards him greatly increased.

As for Xiao Tan, he did not receive any skill points, nor did he accumulate any hatred. He only heard the prompt that the investigation had been disrupted.

"That's okay..." This was Wang Tanzhi's first reaction after hearing the announcement.

"That's okay!" Even Feng Bujue himself felt that his statement was full of retorts, thinking to himself, "These guys are just as bad as those guys in *South Park*..."

Just as the two of them thought they were about to transition again, suddenly, another system announcement that had never appeared before came: [Due to successfully disrupting three investigations, a side quest has been triggered]
