Apocalypse Forecast

When Huai Shi finally returned to school, he saw MKII sitting in the piano room, gasping for breath. His hair was messy and his clothes were disheveled, as if he had been beaten up. When he saw Huai Shi return, it was as if he had seen a savior.

"You're finally back, I'll leave first," Crow said, pulling Huai Shi's hand and taking his various belongings, hanging them on herself. Then her appearance quickly changed into that of another person, and she climbed over the wall and left.

Finally, she seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "By the way, you don't have to rush back for dinner tonight."

Then, she smiled meaningfully.

"After all, you'll probably be busy tonight."

"Huh?"

Huai Shi was confused. What had happened?

Then, he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door, followed by a soft voice.

"Senior, are you in there?"

She said, "I'm here for private tutoring."

"..."

Huai Shi was dumbfounded.

What had happened?

.

.

"What happened?"

Director Fu stood with his hands on his hips next to the vault, witnessing the scene of carnage, and asked the dejected Wan Li, the person in charge, "Now, you're going to tell me that not only is there smuggling in Xin Hai, but there's also internal corruption?"

The person in charge smiled awkwardly, "It can't be considered smuggling, it's just that the customs procedures were not complete..."

"I don't care about your dealings with the customs. In Xin Hai, this is called smuggling."

Director Fu spat and took out a ticket from his pocket, swiping it open, "Thirty times the fine, within three days, otherwise your license will be revoked."

"Okay, okay." The person in charge nodded, knowing that he was being let off the hook.

Director Fu was still quite good. He looked rough, but as long as you didn't cross the line, he was easy to talk to. It was better to have a foul mouth than to have your license revoked after being investigated by that Ai surname inspector.

After dealing with this matter, Director Fu's expression didn't relax, but became even more grim. He walked into the vault and looked around at the scene, then suddenly asked, "Is there any surveillance footage?"

"Just a few fragments." The engineer in charge of monitoring looked bitter, "No faces are visible."

As expected.

Director Fu nodded and asked again, "What about the Sublimator in charge of security?"

"His hand was burned, minor injuries."

"Who cares about his injuries? Testimony, where's the testimony?" Director Fu glared at him, "What happened to the one who ran away? Is it a man or a woman? How tall? What's their background and Holy Mark? Have you figured it out?"

"Uh, it's said to be a Roman alchemist, Druid lineage, second rank, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a gas mask and sunglasses, couldn't see their face, and there was no residual evidence at the scene."

"They did a clean job."

Director Fu laughed angrily.

Too clean.

It's abnormal...

Covering up like this, there must be something wrong.

He bent down, looked at the broken video fragments on the screen, saw a person rushing into the vault, easily taking care of the security guards, then burning the vault and rushing in to take something...

"This posture, it feels familiar?"

Seems like I've seen it somewhere.

Director Fu pinched his chin, his face changing, then suddenly turned and walked outside.

The person in charge of Wan Li stared in astonishment, "Director? Director! Where are you going?"

"To Second High School."

Director Fu glanced at him, "Today is my daughter's school anniversary performance. She has a program. Shouldn't I go and applaud? What's wrong, do you have any objections?"

"No, no..."

The person in charge shook his head in a panic.

He awkwardly watched Director Fu walk away.

.

.

After Director Fu left, he hung the Special Affairs Department sign on his car and drove straight into the parking lot of Second High School. After getting out of the car, he rushed past the auditorium where the cultural performance was being held and went straight to the piano room.

With handcuffs hanging from his shoulder and a gun at his waist, wearing a cold and frosty expression, he pushed aside the teacher who had come to inquire, then went upstairs and listened outside the door of Huai Shi's piano room.

He heard a breathless sound from behind the door, as well as a panicked voice.

"That... didn't we agree to just play the piano?"

"Oh, it's okay to do other things too."

"But I'm not used to progressing so quickly."

"It's okay, leave it to me to lead. You may not be used to it at first, but you'll soon like it."

The voice laughed, and Director Fu's expression became increasingly ugly. Damn it, he was working hard on the case, and this bastard was openly committing adultery in broad daylight, and in school! Was this too much?!

Before the bastard behind the door could do anything, he kicked the door open and barged in, shouting, "Huai Shi, you're in trouble, come with us!"

In the piano room behind the door.

Huai Shi was being pressed down on a chair by the enthusiastic female student. His coat had fallen to the ground, and if it weren't for her hands pressing him down, his T-shirt would have been pulled off. Now, he was desperately trying to stop the female student from undoing his belt. When he saw Director Fu burst into the room, he seemed to have been saved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Why was it different from what he had imagined?

Shouldn't this beast be molesting a poor girl?!

Director Fu was stunned for a moment, then walked forward, handcuffed Huai Shi to the chair without hesitation, and said, "Caught on the spot!"

Huai Shi's heart trembled. He didn't know what evidence he had missed, but he still pretended to be shocked as planned, looking confused, "What did I do?"

"Why do you care about so much? Just caught you on the spot!" Director Fu waved his hand, gesturing for the girl to leave quickly, then looked at Huai Shi with a sidelong glance, "Don't you know what you did?"

"On my honor! I just played the piano and almost got raped by a female student. I'm innocent!" Huai Shi widened his eyes, "Do you guys from the Special Affairs Department have to meddle even when I'm just playing the piano?"

"Never mind the other things, what are you doing?" Director Fu sneered, "You've only been here for a few days, and you're already messing around with relationships..."

"She's someone else's girlfriend, how can you accuse me of messing around!"

Huai Shi was already annoyed, but this topic made him even more so. He was still upset about being tricked into signing so many agreements!

"Enough, stop with the nonsense."

Although Director Fu had some doubts, he still decided not to change his mind. He grabbed Huai Shi's handcuffs, "Come with me to the Special Affairs Department!"

"Help! Help!"

Huai Shi struggled desperately. This bastard must be trying to frame him! Once he was taken to the Special Affairs Department, he could be manipulated however they wanted!

"You can't do this! I've made contributions to the Special Affairs Department! I've shed blood for the Astronomical Society, let me go! I want to see Ai Qing! I want to see Ai Qing!"

"Save it for the interrogation room."

Director Fu sneered, turned around with the handcuffs, and his expression immediately stiffened.

He saw Fu Yi, leaning against the door and eating popcorn.

"When did you get here?"

"When you said you caught him on the spot."

Fu Yi regretfully looked at the DV hanging on her wrist: "I wanted to record some scandalous footage, but you ruined it, dad."

"Children shouldn't meddle in these matters, I'll talk to you later."

Director Fu's expression changed, and in the end, he waved his hand to signal her to move aside.

Fu Yi shook her head, glanced at Huai Shi, and said directly: "He was with me during the performance. Even if something happened, you can't just arrest him and not me, right?"

"......"

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Director Fu didn't speak, he silently looked at the woman in front of him and Huai Shi behind him, his gaze shifting between the two. After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice devoid of emotion, only a hint of fatigue:

"Are you sure?"

"The reporters haven't left yet, you can check the video."

Fu Yi answered straightforwardly, her tone was not as sweet as it used to be when they played the loving father-daughter duo.

Perhaps, that harmonious atmosphere was something they both deliberately created from the beginning. It wasn't intimate, just maintaining a distance.

During their brief time together, they played the roles of a good father and a good daughter.

That was all.

She looked at her father and told him: "Huai Shi was sitting next to me."

Director Fu's expression changed, he opened his mouth several times as if wanting to say something, but didn't. After a long silence, he unlocked Huai Shi's handcuffs and left.

The sound of his footsteps gradually faded.

In the silent piano room, neither of them spoke.

At the door, the stunned teacher watched this scene, opened his mouth to say something, but Fu Yi looked over, giving him a glance with a strange look in her eyes.

"Sorry, teacher, Huai Shi and I have some things to discuss." She asked, "Can we talk about it next time if there's any problem?"

Perhaps it was only at this moment that she truly seemed like Director Fu's daughter, her eyes were just as fierce when she was unhappy.

The teacher awkwardly left.

Fu Yi walked into the room, closed the door, and looked at Huai Shi with a tilted head: "Do you have anything to say?"

"I'm sorry."

Huai Shi sighed, bowed his head in apology: "I'm really sorry."

"That wasn't you just now, was it?" Fu Yi lit a cigarette, "I was wondering when you started catwalking... Was it a trick of the Sublimator?"

"Pretty much." Huai Shi sighed.

"I just have one question."

Fu Yi scratched her head, sighed somewhat irritably: "You didn't do anything serious, did you? If it's a serious incident, I might have to disown you."

"I'm sorry, actually Director Fu doesn't have any evidence, you don't have to worry, nothing will happen." Huai Shi apologized: "Anyway, thank you for helping me."

"Don't flatter yourself, I was just venting."

Fu Yi laughed softly, as if mocking herself: "He promised to come watch me dance, said he would come no matter what... I prepared for this day for so long, even arranged dinner, rehearsed for a long time..."

She said softly, "He didn't come."

She didn't come either.

They had both promised.

But in the end, no one came.

Huai Shi heard a faint sob.

He closed his eyes.
