“Maybe this is what they call ‘the eyeball effect.'” Lin Fei withdrew her gaze, turning to look out the car window. A faint sense of peace circulated within her heart.
“How much longer until we reach Qu City Station?” Tan Yuan stretched her hands and fingers indifferently.
“About half an hour, I guess. As long as we arrive within tomorrow, that’s fine.” Lin Fei replied softly.

“Is this your first time taking part in this event, Lin Fei?” Tan Yuan was somewhat grasping at straws for conversation.
“Could it be that Sister Tan is on her second time?”
“Yes, I am. My first time was over in the United States,” Tan Yuan said with a smile.
“That’s quite impressive,” Lin Fei said, turning her head with a hint of surprise.
“It’s nothing much, sometimes I think maybe this kind of life is what I aspire to.” Tan Yuan brushed the long hair from her forehead.
“Then I’ll have to ask Sister Tan to take good care of me this time.” Lin Fei smiled shyly. Her face had such an innocent expression that one could tell at a glance this kid was green.
“No problem, just stick with me. When you meet other people, talk less and observe more,” Tan Yuan laughed and said.
“Okay.” Lin Fei nodded.

Ping City
Next to a skyscraper filled with blue glass, in a little pavilion with a white spire, a young girl dressed in a dark red plaid shirt and black jeans held a cell phone, vaguely acknowledging the conversation while leaning on a white pillar of the pavilion, gazing at a black cat in the grass nearby.
“Okay, I got it, mm-hmm, I’ll be back soon. Alright, a classmate is coming over, I’ll hang up first. Yes, that’s it. Bye.” The girl closed her flip phone gently and slipped it into her crossbody bag. Then, with a little hop, she jumped in front of the black cat and crouched down.
“Good kitty~~ You’re so cute; what are you planning on doing with me?”
“Meow~~” The black cat gazed steadily at the girl in front of it, wiping its face with a paw. It then walked away, clearly uninterested.
“Uh. Kitty?” The girl was ready to continue the teasing, but the corner of her eye caught sight of a confident, elegant young woman slowly walking towards her on a nearby sidewalk.
“Hey, Little You. Looks like it’s our turn to partner up today.” The woman flashed a charming smile, came over and pinched Lin You’s cheek. “So smooth, Little You’s skin is just enviable.”
“Not at all, Sister Bing’s skin is even better.” Lin You said in a coy voice, blushing slightly.
“Come on, let’s go. The test location this time is a bit far from here. I drove here, but it’s near your house.”
“Oh.”
The two left the pavilion quickly, but behind them a little black cat followed closely.
The woman glanced back at the black cat, a flicker of puzzlement in her eyes, yet she said nothing and continued towards the nearby parking lot.
However, Lin You was quite interested in the little cat, frequently looking back to make sure it wasn’t left behind.
They soon reached the parking lot of the Sunshine Building. The woman known as Sister Bing entered, went to a red beetle parked on the right, and took her place behind the wheel. Lin You also opened the other door with ease and settled into the passenger seat.
But just as Lin You had sat down, a black shadow suddenly darted in from the door.
“Meow~~~” It was the little black cat from earlier. With its eyes curved, its small body curled up in Lin You’s arms.
“Oh, poor little kitty, have you nowhere to go?” Lin You first was delighted, then lifted her face to look at Sister Bing with a longing gaze. She knew Sister Bing had a bit of a cleanliness obsession, and there was a chance she wouldn’t let the cat get in the car.
“Forget it, after the test is over, you can take it home to raise, but let me tell you in advance, these stray cats are usually very dirty.”
“Not at all.” Lin You gently stroked the small cat’s back, feeling the smooth and soft touch, the warm body. “This little cat is very clean, look, its fur is so glossy.”
Sister Bing glanced at the cat and indeed it was so. “Then it’s probably a pet cat who just ran away from a house, fortunately not having suffered much before you encountered it.” She quickly fastened her seatbelt, waiting for Lin You to close the car door.
“Sit tight, we need to speed up. I’ve also made plans to pick up a friend after we finish our task today.”
“Hmm.”

Qu City’s Lin Yuan Airport.
In the spacious ticket hall, a middle-aged man in a black suit was holding a sign that read “Delegation to South Korea.” Behind him, on the seats, more than twenty people of various appearances were divided into several small groups, each huddled together.
Among them, Lin Fei was sitting beside Tan Yuan, with the Longsword Ring leaning on his shoulder. Although he knew that he’d soon have to check it in due to security inspection, it seemed there had been a new development given the current situation.
Tan Yuan sat to his left, and on his right, there was a muscular man wearing a tight black T-shirt. These three people formed a small group among this bunch, and Tan Yuan, a woman, seemed to have some fame; when they arrived at the airport, the man leading the team seemed to recognize her and even had a private chat with her for a while. The muscular man beside had been persuaded by Tan Yuan for a good while before he decided to join them.
According to Tan Yuan, there would be a team leader from the main society in each province, and this person was only responsible for handling miscellaneous tasks like procedures. The team leader was the same person every year, which is why she recognized the middle-aged man.
As for why she participated last year and still has to participate this year, Tan Yuan looked astonished.
“Don’t you know? As long as you participate in three national public missions, you can voluntarily choose your own path, whether it is to break away from Shueisha, erase all past criminal records, restore a free identity, or become a senior member, no longer participating in such dangerous missions. Either option is possible.”
“Is that so?” Lin Fei said, astonished.
“Of course, we’re not voluntarily joined formal members. To put it precisely, we had to join the national organization for missions to be exempt from criminal charges. Perhaps only some psycho characters would like to stay in the society and keep executing missions,” the muscular man interjected. “Let me introduce myself, I am Yu Ming, a local from Qu City.”
“My name is Tan Xiao Hong, and he is Lin Mu, both from outside the city,” Tan Yuan promptly blurted out two fake names. Everyone was a stranger, and unless they committed a murder, they generally weren’t qualified to join Shueisha, so no one was simple. Naturally, they wouldn’t casually tell their real names to others. These names were fake identities processed in advance by the organization, with complete documents including ID cards.
“Nice to meet you, Brother Yu,” Lin Fei smiled shyly.
Yu Ming also smiled and nodded, seemingly more interested in Tan Yuan as he turned his head and continued chatting with her.
Sitting on the side, Lin Fei, because he was just a high school student in his teens, didn’t draw much attention. He began to observe carefully the members of the group he was in.
This mission, societies from all over the country had dispatched numerous members to carry it out, so naturally it couldn’t be just the few people here. These members were generally organized by province and headed to South Korea as a group. Thus, naturally, those here were society members from the province.
“There are four groups in total here. Tan Yuan and myself make one group with Yu Ming. The seven people on the left can be considered one group,” Lin Fei’s gaze swept to the left. In that small group, most were men and women in their thirties and forties, and among them, the most conspicuous was a man in a gray suit with faint wrinkles on his forehead. This man looked gentle and calm, with a composed demeanor, and when he saw Lin Fei looking over, he also smiled politely at Lin Fei.
“Another group, seated to the right front, seems to have had contacts with each other,” Lin Fei looked towards another side. There were more people here, a full ten robust men, along with a ponytailed woman in a white T-shirt and tight blue jeans, eleven in total sitting together, creating a terribly heavy atmosphere. Watching their swift and robust movements, with a rhythmic walking step, one could tell that they were martial artists. The leader of this group was the burly man with thick eyebrows and a cropped head seated in front.
This man sat still with his eyes closed, as if resting, but given his posture ready to strike at any moment, one could tell how highly alert he was.
“And the last one.” Lin Fei’s eyes turned to the boy sitting in the far corner on the right.
This boy was dressed in a white tracksuit, its high collar standing up to completely shield his chin. His complexion was a bit abnormally pale, and his features were as delicate as a girl’s. If not for the short buzz cut, he might even be mistaken for a beautiful woman. His hands were stuffed in his pockets while he sat alone, his eyes flickering with wariness.
He sat by himself, not joining any other group. Tan Yuan had previously approached him to talk and try to draw him to their side, but without success. The seemingly gentle and calm man in the suit had done the same.
