This bell was the school’s dismissal bell during workdays, precisely ringing at 17:30 Beijing time. Although some time had passed, the promised angel had not yet descended.
Luo Yingbai had found the situation strange, but now he recalled that Tang Yuebo had mentioned his phone was set five minutes slower than usual!
So if the Weibo post was from Tang Yuebo’s perspective, perhaps this moment was actually 17:25 from Luo Yingbai’s view!
The bell continued, and with this thought, Luo Yingbai involuntarily shouted “Be careful!” and swiftly pulled Tang Yuebo aside, just as the sculpture above their heads came crashing down!
However, things were not over. As Luo Yingbai flung Tang Yuebo away, a passing female cyclist was approaching, hurriedly pedaling forward.
When she noticed the abnormality overhead, she had no time to stop.
Luo Yingbai released Tang Yuebo and yanked the girl off her bicycle. The sculpture was about to crash down on their heads, with barely any chance to dodge!
Surrounded by shocked cries, Luo Yingbai threw out a scarecrow, simultaneously tilting his body sideways, his back facing the sculpture, protecting the girl in front of him. He pulled the bicycle with one hand, executing a beautiful swing that blocked the sculpture’s path, providing a slight buffer.
Simultaneously, he pointed with two fingers, his soft command drowned out by screams and loud crashes:
“Wandering spirits, hear my command! Exchange evil for virtue, swiftly proceed to rebirth!”
The scarecrow that had made great contributions was surrounded by many small light points invisible to ordinary people, which followed Luo Yingbai and floated away, like soldiers escorting a victorious general. Luo Yingbai smiled slightly: “Congratulations to everyone, with merits and demerits balanced, the accounts in the yang world settled, you can now be reincarnated. Next time, remember to do more good deeds, wishing everyone to become socialist good ghosts.”
The light points danced around him, seemingly nodding repeatedly. Luo Yingbai interlocked his fingers, forming a lotus mudra.
“Good and evil in one thought, yin and yang interconnected. Heading to paradise, life and death have an end. Please proceed.”
While he was guiding the souls in the afterlife, the young girl who had narrowly escaped death was so frightened that her legs went weak. Even after being rescued, she remained sitting on the ground, trembling all over. Several unknown girls surrounded her, comforting her.
After a long while, she finally recovered and her first words were: “Where is the classmate who just saved me?”
In the chaos, she hadn’t seen clearly, with her only impression being the rescuer’s strong protective arm and the warm embrace. But at this moment, everyone looked at each other, realizing that the heroic figure had mysteriously disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
The young girl murmured: “I didn’t even get to thank him.”
Someone nearby consoled her: “It’s okay, many people took photos. Once you find out who saved you, you can go thank him in person.”
This was indeed true. Not long after, Luo Yingbai’s heroic image had become a hot topic on campus. A student who was originally taking campus scenery photos had inadvertently captured the entire scene completely.
Cui Shaonü: Campus high-altitude falling object incident, fortunately witnessed a hero saving a beauty, this old lady’s dormant teenage heart has been revived!
The post included nine photos, documenting Luo Yingbai’s rescue process. Soon those not on campus were wailing in the Weibo comments.
“So handsome, so handsome, regret not being present, missed the entire world!” “I also want… to be rescued by a handsome guy at the risk of life.” “I know this handsome guy, he’s our school’s campus heartthrob!” “Seconding, the campus heartthrob looks high-class, didn’t expect such high combat power!” “Damn, getting more regretful for not being present, any videos? Masters, please share a video!” “…”
Since neither student was injured, most people’s attention was on the handsome guy until the police who received the report arrived, temporarily diverting their focus.
The police drove the curious students to a safe area and cordoned off the area around the statue.
The team leader was Captain Zheng from the High Development Zone Police Branch. A serious incident at a key university was no small matter. When he received the report and heard there were no casualties, he had already relaxed halfway, but upon arriving and investigating the scene, his expression immediately darkened.
A young police officer asked: “Captain, what’s wrong?”
Captain Zheng, wearing gloves, touched the fractured surface of the statue and found the texture extremely smooth. This was definitely not natural wear and tear, but human-induced damage.
Staring at the statue’s grotesquely cracked smile, a chill ran down his back.
Captain Zheng said softly: “Xiao Xu, a normal fracture wouldn’t look like this, and human intervention couldn’t achieve this. We can’t handle this case. Call Director Xia.”
Upon hearing “Director Xia,” Xiao Xu immediately pictured a refined yet cold face, involuntarily shivering and reluctantly saying: “I heard when we came over that the Special Investigation Unit just handled a case in the city center, and Director Xia was surrounded by reporters. Calling him now… might not be appropriate.”
The “Special Investigation Unit” they mentioned belongs to the National Special Investigation Bureau, with a high rank, rarely known to outsiders.
In reality, members of the National Special Investigation Bureau are all extraordinary individuals with mystical abilities. When scientific explanations fail for supernatural cases, they must take responsibility and protect ordinary people from harm.
The current unit director comes from a distinguished background. He is not only the grandson of the previous leader but also a disciple trained by the National Special Investigation Bureau’s director, Luo Xiao. Shortly after graduating from university, he was appointed and is now a full-level department head.
Though young, those who have dealt with him know he is genuinely capable and notoriously difficult to deal with.
Captain Zheng knew what Xiao Xu was thinking and said impatiently: “Even if Director Xia is a bit serious, he won’t pick a fight with you. Just make the call when I tell you.”
Here is the edited version of the article:
Xiao Xu mumbled: “Sounds good, why don’t you make the call…”
Captain Zheng: “Hm?
Xiao Xu: “Ahem, it’s nothing, I’m just saying, if a strong person stands on the rooftop and cuts down with a very sharp tool… wouldn’t it create such a cross-section?”
“If there really is such a possibility,” Captain Zheng said with a forced smile, “then it would be Zhang the Sect Leader or Xie the Great Hero traveling through eight or nine hundred years to arrive here, chopping down this angel with the Dragon-Slaying Knife.”
He had to call Director Xia listlessly. On the other side, two colleagues came down from the building where the sculpture had fallen, bringing two more people with them.
“Captain, when we went up, these two were wandering around the rooftop, sneaking about, carrying a large bag, looking very suspicious, so we brought them down.”
The two men looked to be in their thirties, with greasy, messy hair and disheveled clothes. Caught, they were uncooperative, their eyes darting around furtively, their faces screaming “sleazy”.
Captain Zheng looked at the black bag thrown on the ground, feeling uneasy. When he picked it up and opened it, he found it contained a set of video recording equipment and two telescopes.
“What is this?”
