Chapter 43: Call the Police

Jing Xiu found it strange. “Not time for you to go to class?”

Zhou Bai sighed and said, “Sigh, it’s because you guys are simply…too far behind me!”

“Huh?”

Zhou Bai told her all the excuses he thought of. “The contents you learn in class are too shallow and boring for me. They’re so boring that I fell asleep. I can’t help it. Going to class is a waste of time for me. It’s better if I study on my own.”

“Is…is that so?” Jing Xiu looked at Zhou Bai skeptically. “Brother Zhou isn’t going to class because you’re too far ahead of us?”

Zhou Bai waved his hand, “That’s enough. Don’t take it to heart. It’s normal that you guys can’t keep up with geniuses like me. It’s enough for you to keep improving on the path of practicing Tao.”

Jing Xiu suspected the truth in Zhou Bai’s words, but became convinced when she recalled the gift he exhibited during the exam.

Seeing her expression, Zhou Bai knew she was still skeptical, but that was enough.

Although he cut class every day, with the help of Laziness, his improvements had been tremendous. In less than a week’s time, he finished practicing three star points on the Taiyi Disc. His future level of practice would increase rapidly as well.

He couldn’t expose the auxiliary practice system. The only thing he could do was to pretend he was a genius.

That was also an excuse for cutting class.

Of course, with these short words, his classmates and teachers naturally wouldn’t believe him. But he was going to study at Tao academy for a long time. As long as he could show them the fruit of his practice and deepen his impression as a genius, they’d have to believe him sooner or later.

Zhou Bai asked, “What’s the Overturn Heaven Cult you just mentioned?”

“Overturn Heaven Cult is an organization that opposes Paradise…” as she spoke, Jing Xiu, who had always been amiable, took on a faint expression of disgust. “They’re a bunch of lunatics. They want to overthrow Paradise and are completely unrestrained. They even kill civilians.”

Zhou Bai nodded. It was just an anti-governmental weaponized force, and apparently the kind that attacked civilians and students.

But if an organization like this could kill in Tao academy, it showed the organization wan’t weak, and Tao academy wasn’t as safe as they had imagined.

What a turbulent world. At this thought, Zhou Bai went blank for a second, recalling his next-door neighbor. The girl next door seems suspicious.

Zhou Bai recalled the events that happened next door, especially the pounding sounds that spread into his room last night.

With my current primordial spirit power, it’s unlikely I had a hallucination. Which means…there really have been abnormal things happening, Zhou Bai thought to himself, Although I’m unsure if it has to do with Overturn Heaven Cult, it might very likely be unrelated, but still…

When Zhou Bai recalled the old man’s mutation, his face fell.

Zhou Bai gave it some thought. Safety should come first; he shouldn’t let it go on.

So after he bid goodbye to Jing Xiu, he went to the public phone booth in the Tao academy and took out the contact information Officer Li Xiu Zhu had left him.

The humans in this world hadn’t popularized mobile phones yet. It was said that the military and higher-level strong individuals had the Taoist technology for mobile communication, but clearly Zhou Bai didn’t have that power.

So he went to the public phone booth and called Li Xiuzhu.
