Luo Di felt as if he were being sucked into a vortex, sowhat like the sensation of being flushed down a toilet.
Through control over his body,
Crack! He barely managed to steady himself, then gave himself a double ear-slap to wake up his nearly scrambled brain.
As his spinning vision returned to normal,
the scene before him left him stunned, unable to utter a word.
The pitch-black vortex swirled in the sky,
an invisible curtain ford a cube that enveloped the current area,
and the area in front of him was none other than the high school Luo Di was most familiar with, Jupiter City Fourth Middle School, recreated almost perfectly.
This scene was so similar to the gap from years ago.
Suddenly,
a gentle pat landed on Luo Di’s back.
"What are you doing staring here? Co on."
Black hair swayed past him,
in the blink of an eye,
that familiar figure had already pulled a hundred ters ahead, about to enter the first teaching building.
Luo Di hurried to catch up,
but no matter how much he sped up, he couldn’t keep up,
the figure always maintained at least one floor’s distance, each ti only glimpsing those small white shoes stepping around the corner.
He continued like this until reaching the fifth floor of the teaching building.
He thought the figure would continue to distance itself, but the small white shoes stood at the stairwell this ti, seemingly waiting for him.
"Wu Wen, why am I the only one teleported here, what about Lebeite and the others?"
Shh~
Wu Wen simply put her finger to her lips, signaling for him to keep quiet in the teaching building, while using her other hand to secretly make an OK gesture, indicating that the others were fine.
Wu Wen walked ahead, with her hands behind her back.
Luo Di thought he needed to hold her hand, but just as he was about to touch it, her hand slapped his away.
She then made a prohibitive gesture, as if explaining that school prohibits romance.
Walking through the straight hallway of the teaching building, around two corners, a lit office was in front.
Wu Wen rely stood outside the door, appearing to have no intention of going in.
Knock~
Luo Di cautiously knocked on the door, and a familiar voice ca from inside.
"Co in."
He pushed open the door,
inside was an office scene Luo Di was quite familiar with; back when he was in school, whenever he encountered a particularly difficult problem, he would co running to ask questions.
Teacher Guo still sat in the innermost workstation, seemingly grading assignnts.
His thin figure had hardly changed, the only difference being that his previously ssy hair was now combed into a neat pompadour.
And just a closer look would reveal that this seemingly unchanged teacher’s office actually contained nurous hints of a vortex.
Whether it was the pens laid out on the desk, the shapes on the books, the patterns on the floor tiles, or the rotating ceiling fan.
Moreover, from Luo Di’s current angle, he faintly saw Teacher Guo’s profile, where even the facial features seed to be turning,
"Have you co?"
A calm greeting as Teacher Guo turned around.
His facial features seed to be spinning, but they were actually neatly arranged, just as before.
"Teacher Guo, long ti no see."
"Having a student like you at Fourth Middle School speaks for its value, so I’ve transported the scene as is to serve as a temporary important gathering place for the organization.
I’m also grateful you ca to see and brought friends along. They are currently undergoing an ’entrance exam’ and are doing quite well.
Especially one of them who ets my student requirents perfectly."
Only then did Luo Di understand why he was the only one who ca, as he had already undergone a dream exam back in the Human World.
"Why did you call for , Teacher Guo?"
"I need to establish a special organizational group.
The foundational work is done, but we’re lacking ’personnel.’ Underperforming students in the Corner, the better ones are mostly taken by other organizations.
Since I arrived at the Corner, I’ve spent a lot of ti searching for talent, but have only found a few who et the criteria.
Luo Di, bringing so many talented people during a crucial ti, I’ll be sure to properly thank you."
"It’s nothing, Teacher Guo took great care of before, and we also benefit from coming here, don’t we?
Just that~ the people I brought, only one of my human friends might be without organizational affiliation, the rest all have corresponding organizations."
"I’ve already spoken with the Family Head of the Invisible Manor.
He agreed to let Lebeite join us here, and as for the girls from the Sisterhood, I’ll take the opportunity to discuss it in person with their grandmother."
"Huh? The Family Head visited here? Does it an my thoughts have been stolen?"
Luo Di suddenly recalled the lady of the house’s so-called pinpointing thod, now realizing that her real purpose was to gather vortex information.
Luckily, the outco seed to be positive; otherwise, Luo Di would have taken the bla.
Teacher Guo continued the conversation,
"The number now ets the basic requirent to establish the organization.
However, to formally establish it, besides providing Corner Coins and acquiring a sufficient district, Corner’s recognition is also needed.
The recognition thod I’ve chosen is the most challenging as well as unique, which only this special organization that I’m creating can complete.
We will need to handle a very troubleso matter, with high risks involved.
Exactly what this entails will be explained in detail in tomorrow’s class, just make sure to co to school on ti.
Oh, by the way... Luo Di, will you join us?"
As Teacher Guo posed this question, an anomaly began to spread.
Luo Di could see Teacher Guo’s two eyeballs rotating back and forth, and his tongue seed to be curling into a vortex.
Just witnessing such a "phenonon" made Luo Di feel a twisting sensation.
But instead of directly agreeing, Luo Di chose a different response: "I will do my utmost to assist Teacher Guo in organizing the team, and as for joining, I will respond once the organization is formally recognized by the Corner."
The anomaly resolved,
returning to normal,
Teacher Guo seed satisfied with this answer: "Caution is a good habit, off you go."
"Alright."
...
Luo Di turned and walked out of the office; this eting was sowhat different from what he expected, as if truly chatting with an ordinary teacher at Fourth Middle School.
As soon as he left the office, he saw Wu Wen seemingly eager to leave,
then quickly ran after the small white shoes out of the teaching building,
without lingering at school,
heading straight out of the campus gates, back to the dilapidated street outside.
The sky here was filled with strange dust, and these particles too ford nurous vortices, covering, sealing, and inspecting everything like clouds.
This unexplored area of the Middle Layer seed to be completely under Teacher Guo’s control.
Leaving the school, Wu Wen finally spoke:
"I’m suffocating~ Every ti I co to school there’s a bit of psychological pressure.
However, Teacher Guo seed happy. It looks like the people you brought, Luo Di, directly t the most basic number requirent.
Did he ntion starting the operation earlier?"
"Teacher Guo said there would be more information in tomorrow’s class... Squad Leader, do you know what we’re supposed to do?"
"I don’t know, Teacher Guo, as the organization’s founder, directly interfaces with the Corner. He hasn’t ntioned it to anyone."
"Oh."
Wu Wen gently stood on her tiptoes, inhaling near Luo Di’s cheek,
"Did you go to the Invisible Manor?
The bloom ford in such a short ti must have been to the Dungeon entrance responsible at the Invisible Manor. And you’ve actually invited Lebeite here too, you’re becoming more and more capable."
"Squad Leader, have you been to the Dungeon?"
"I went once, following Teacher Guo’s students, though the entrance I used was different, in another location. From what I know, the official establishnt of the organization might be related to [the Dungeon]."
This explanation left Luo Di feeling confused, "Dungeon? Do we need everyone to clear it once?"
"It’s probably not so simple, or otherwise, Teacher Guo wouldn’t be so secretive or recruit students so stringently.
But rest assured, based on all this ti interacting with Teacher Guo,
He’s genuinely committed to nurturing students, and following him we gain very special benefits; the founding of this organization should be advantageous to us as well."
"Where are we going now?"
"Rember when I first ca to Hell to find you? With your help, we took down a disgusting photographer.
That was a holiday assignnt given by Teacher Guo back then.
The photographer had a Corner property under his na, which I transferred through equivalent exchange to this place... so next you’ll be going to, which is now my [ho]."
Wu Wen tiptoed again, whispering into his ear,
"Shh! Don’t contact anyone for the remainder of today, they’ll get a warm reception from Teacher Guo once they pass the exam, don’t worry.
I need you to stay with for an entire night."
"Oh... alright."
Luo Di vaguely felt sothing strange because this request was sothing he had heard from Hua Yuan not long ago.
