The roar of engines was close to the ears, as people hurriedly made way, and two motorcycles dashed through, young n dressed in bizarre outfits with Mohawks raised high, faces painted, feet pressing on the accelerator, and shouts echoing in the air.
"It's the Gale Gang!"
Upon hearing the na, the expressions on the residents' faces changed, so were fearful, so disgusted, and yet so jumped up excitedly to cheer.
In a blink of an eye, the two motorcycles arrived near the RoboCop group, one young man threw a chain towards another, who caught it, and together they tripped the leading RoboCop, then dragged his body away triumphantly.
"Damn, these lunatics dare attack us?" shouted the RoboCop who regained his senses.
"Quickly report to Hera, this is the Green Lizard Team, we've been attacked on Gale Street, requesting support, requesting support!"
"Stop, stop right now!"
An older man with so prestige was jumping and shouting in the crowd, his face turning pale, almost losing his breath as he collapsed on the ground coughing, several residents hurriedly ca to support him.
The two Gale Gang mbers certainly didn't intend to stop there; they dragged the RoboCop leader, showing off their trophy, circling the block for a whole round, only stopping when his front skin was completely worn away, exposing the bloody and mutilated skeleton.
The motorcycle exhaust pipes spewed flas, dust roared and scattered, the two dismounted, while other mbers from the Gale Gang erged from both sides unbeknownst, finishing off the remaining RoboCops, dragging their bodies together, creating a small mound, igniting it with fuel in one swift motion under the stunned gaze of the residents.
Acts like these were evidently not the first for the Gale Gang youths.
"Do you know what you've done!" The old man was furious, grabbing a young man's collar and shouting.
The young man rolled his eyes, exhaling a puff of smoke onto the elder's face, exchanged a glance with his companion, both laughing uproariously.
Seeing his careless shrug, he flicked the half-smoked cigarette into the fire.
"You, you really acted against these people, the issue is serious now!"
"Serious, where's that in there, old man?"
At this mont, a deep voice rang from behind, seeing his attire the man appearing to be the leader of these youths stepped out, a knife scar cutting across his right cheek, his rough skin seed sand-worn, his intimidating aura made the old man involuntarily retreat a few steps.
"You killed these guys, will Hera let us off!"
"Letting them return, we'd die anyway. Without the Black Box, we should've been eliminated long ago. Who knows how these guys entered Gale Street?"
The Gale Gang leader squinted, looking maliciously at the old man, forcing him to retreat again and again.
"My n have all entrances watched well; unless it's our issue?"
"If not for your lack of supervision, why should we pay for your mistakes?"
"Since things have happened, we can only find ways to cover them up as much as possible. Hera's eyes are not here; their communications were all blocked by the Black Box earlier, you should all know what to say and not say, all the traces have been erased."
Due to the man's knife-like gaze, the old man finally lowered his head, sighing deeply, turned around, and waved to express doing as the youth said, the circle of residents dispersed, so fetched moldy mops, so brought grinders and saws, so sought chemical cleansers to remove blood, and a grand cleanup started.
...
"In two days, we will hold a campus little singing star event, any students interested can co to the teacher."
"Wow——"
As the voice of the young female teacher fell, cheers erupted from the children in the classroom, evidently thrilled not for the event itself but for the half-day of free activities.
As the school bell rang, the female teacher stepped out the door, then leaned back in, looking at the corner of the classroom.
Tang Xin noticed that she was looking at her.
"Xiaotang, co to the teacher's office once."
"Hey hey, the teacher called Tang Muyin to the office again, last ti I saw her co back with a whole bag full of candy, so much that it overflowed."
"The teacher is so biased!"
"No way around it, who could sing?"
"Oh, she's calling you, little singing star." Xu Xiaoyou's voice transmitted through the communication channel.
Tang Xin silently stood up, following the female teacher to the office.
Passing through a hallway, teachers and students hurriedly walked by on both sides, their expressions blurred, unable to discern specific facial details beyond the plot.
Entering the office, it was quite similar to any other office, with virtual potted plants on the desk appearing untidy, graded student papers and files placed together, cursors flashing on the curtain projection.
"Sorry Xiaotang, you see the ssy state of the teacher's desk, I'll just tidy up a bit." said the female teacher, patting Tang Xin's head.
Tang Xin watched the teacher pick up a small stack of docunts and tapped them vertically on the desk twice, stacking them aside.
"First ti." She whispered.
The female teacher didn't hear her murmuring, continuing her tidying, gathering a dispersed pile of files and inserting them into the previous stack.
"Second ti."
Finally, the female teacher raised that stack again, picking up a sheet from the desk, inserting it near the top middle of the file stack.
"The teacher plans to have you participate in the campus little singing star competition..."
Tang Xin abruptly reached out, grasping the teacher's wrist.
"Third ti."
The teacher was bewildered by her sudden action, then slowly widened her eyes, seeing Tang Xin pull a small stapled copy out from the stack.
"Ulysses." Tang Xin read aloud.
"Student Tang Muyin, the teacher is a bit unclear on your intent."
The teacher's expression was hesitant.
"The content of this book is banned, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, the teacher quickly surveyed around, ensured the Disciplinary Officer wasn't looking along the corridor, before deeply exhaling, rising to inconspicuously shield the office door's gap.
The office cara briefly lowered, swiftly lifting again.
She quietly said, "How do you know, student Tang Muyin?"
"I have read it." Tang Xin replied.
With that, the words unequivocally drew them onto the sa line, the teacher managing a forced smile with her hands clasped at the front:
"This is very important to the teacher; please don't disclose to other children, ok?"
"If the teacher wants to do anything, just tell ." Tang Xin said. "I'll assist you."
"Like matters related to the Black Box."
