Even Xia Chujian, who had seen life and death for three years and had personally killed many humans and Humanoids, felt a pang of sorrow.
Because this was a school, supposed to be the safest and most orderly place in the entire Mulan City, the entire Guiyuan Star, even the entire Beichen Empire.
However, the gunman still broke through the security check at the school gate and rushed into the school to kill indiscriminately.
A student stood up angrily and said, "That psycho came for the Saintess! That Saintess is Yu Wangyou from the Intermediate Class! If Yu Wangyou had come forward earlier, these classmates wouldn't have died!"
The school leaders had seen the situation in the corridor through the surveillance cameras and heard the psycho gunman's shouts.
But they weren't these newly-adult students who hadn't yet stepped into society.
The Principal said behind her back, "This gunman is obviously mentally unstable. You can't take what a mentally ill person says seriously."
"Even if it's true, it doesn't mean that student Yu Wangyou should come forward. Obviously, she is also a victim."
Xia Chujian: "..."
What did the Principal mean by that? Did he think Yu Wangyou was indeed the Saintess of that Judge Organization?
But Xia Chujian really didn't think so.
But at this time, she couldn't say anything.
She had no evidence to prove that Yu Wangyou was the "Saintess" the psycho gunman was talking about, nor did she have evidence to prove that she wasn't.
She only felt, was it important at this time to prove whether Yu Wangyou was the "Saintess" the psycho gunman was talking about? Shouldn't the most important thing now be to investigate the responsibility of the security checkpoint at the school gate? If it weren't for them, how could this psycho gunman have sneaked in with a Submachine Gun? Moreover, the Beichen Empire prohibited guns unless you had a formal gun license.
And even if you had a gun license, even if you were an extremely special Bounty Hunter, a Submachine Gun was not a weapon that could be openly purchased and possessed.
For example, when their Team carried out missions, these large conventional Thermal Weapons were all received from the Association, not purchased by themselves.
So where did the Submachine Gun in this person's hand come from?
Was this really done by this psycho gunman alone? Did he have no accomplices or anything?
Why did he suddenly rush to a high school to find some damn "Saintess"! Just as Xia Chujian clenched her fists, constantly warning herself not to be talkative, Yu Wangyou walked out of the classroom.
Carrying her schoolbag, she walked out along a path cleared in the crowd, and walked to the Principal.
She trembled all over, with tears in her eyes, and said with slightly agitated emotions: "Principal, I don't know this man! I'm not any Saintess! I just want to study hard, I won't let myself go back to that Hell!"
"Also, even if he came to find me, but he was holding a gun, how did the security check at the school gate let him in?"
"Also, how could he have a Submachine Gun? Shouldn't you be investigating these things? Why are you focusing on my relationship with him?"
Yu Wangyou's words practically confirmed that she had a relationship with this psycho gunman!
Xia Chujian was calm on the surface, but her heart was stormy.
She couldn't help but step forward, hold Yu Wangyou's hand, and remind her, "Wang You, are you frightened? Didn't you say he has nothing to do with you? You still have your parents at home... You have nothing to do with this psycho, why are you saying this?"
Yu Wangyou withdrew her hand, looked at her regretfully, and said, "Chujian, you are a good girl. But, your brain isn't that good. Do you believe everything I say?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Damn it, she was helping her! What's with attacking her intelligence?!
Xia Chujian could no longer control her calm expression, and looked at her dumbfounded.
Yu Wangyou raised her head, her gaze swept over the faces of all the students in the corridor, and the sadness in her eyes was about to overflow.
So that many students who were looked at by her couldn't help but look away, not daring to continue to look at her.
Then, Yu Wangyou bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
She walked slowly towards the stairwell, her steps were steady, her back was slender and straight, like a stalk of bamboo that would rather break than bend.
Walking to the door of the classroom where the whole class was killed, she also bent down and bowed at the door, saying, "I'm sorry, I will give you an explanation."
Then she turned around and walked step by step towards the stairwell.
The School Police and Punishment Department officials blocking the stairwell saw her coming and didn't know whether to let her pass.
They looked at the School Principal.
The Principal's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, she is also a victim, let her go home and calm down..."
Yu Wangyou walked down the stairs from the door of the stairwell under everyone's gaze.
Her slender back and shoulder-length short hair were like an imprint, etched into everyone's vision.
Suddenly, Ji Jiayi said, "...How could everyone forget? If it weren't for Xia Chujian today, we would have all died."
Her words instantly pulled everyone's attention back from Yu Wangyou.
Immediately, Xia Chujian's classmates in the corridor began to chatter, recounting what had just happened.
At this moment, the forensic doctors from the Punishment Department and the military had also completed their preliminary examinations of the corpse of the Green Robe Mental Strength Gunman.
The forensic doctor from the Punishment Department stood up and said, "The suspect was indeed shot to death. The bullet holes are in the forehead, Automatic Pistol, fired at close range. A total of twenty shots were fired, emptying an entire magazine, and each shot hit the exact same spot with extreme precision."
The military forensic doctor added, "This person's Gunmanship is incredible. I've been in the military for over twenty years, and I've never seen such exquisite Gunmanship."
Automatic Pistols, especially when fired at close range, are actually very difficult to aim.
The students who had been chirping and praising Xia Chujian just now suddenly fell silent.
Because they realized they had been too conservative.
All their praise hadn't been as effective as a single sentence from the military forensic doctor!
Awe-filled gazes involuntarily turned to Xia Chujian.
However, the school leaders revealed doubtful and unkind looks.
Their school had a zero-tolerance policy for bringing guns to school. Even if she had saved her classmates this time, who knew if she might have a moment of irrationality and start shooting people?
But soon, the director of the Academic Affairs Office retrieved the surveillance video from the corridor through the mechanical intelligence, dispelling everyone's doubts.
It turned out that Xia Chujian hadn't brought a gun to school herself, but had used a man's gun to kill the mentally ill gunman!
However, the Principal still frowned and sternly asked, "...Who are those two men with guns? Who are they? Why were they allowed to bring guns onto campus?!"
Ji Jiayi quickly said, "Principal, those two are my bodyguards. You know my situation..."
When the Principal saw that it was Ji Jiayi, his anger immediately dissipated, and his face was filled with smiles. He nodded repeatedly and said, "If they are Ji's bodyguards, then it's fine."
Then, he smiled and explained to everyone, "Ji's family background is special. When she enrolled, she reported it to the higher-level education department. They allowed special cases to be handled specially, and they also informed the school. Therefore, her bodyguards are allowed to bring guns onto campus specifically to protect her safety."
"You see, if it weren't for her bodyguards' guns this time..."
The Principal shamelessly twisted the truth, and the students couldn't stand it anymore, and they all began to boo him.
"Tch! Her bodyguards have guns, but they didn't dare to fire them!"
"That's right! It was all thanks to our Sister Xia! If it weren't for Sister Xia snatching the gun, you would only be here to collect our bodies!"
Even Ji Jiayi said, "Principal, this time it was all thanks to Xia Chujian. My bodyguards were allowed to bring guns onto campus, but they were really useless. I even want to hire Xia to be my bodyguard."
As she spoke, she hooked her arm around Xia Chujian's, smiling affectionately.
The Principal immediately said, "No problem! Xia, oh, right, why is your Gunmanship so accurate?"
The officials from the Mulan City Punishment Department and the military personnel present all saw the surveillance video.
In the video, Xia Chujian's movements were clean and efficient, and every action was perfectly timed, without any hesitation.
Her movements were so fast that the surveillance video had to be slowed down to see her every move clearly.
And the most crucial thing was her Gunmanship.
That action of kicking, snatching the gun, and then pulling the trigger without hesitation, even veteran Marksman in the military didn't have such quick reaction speed or such good shooting accuracy.
The military leader in charge of the Sniper team directly asked Xia Chujian, "Student, how long have you been practicing your Gunmanship?"
Xia Chujian said, "Three years. I've been a Hunter for the Dark Night Hunter Association for three years."
"Oh! So you're a Bounty Hunter! How old are you this year?"
"...I just turned eighteen last December."
"So you only started practicing guns at fifteen?!—Genius! Truly a genius!" The man even took out his business card and eagerly stuffed it into Xia Chujian's hand. "If you want to join the army in the future, just give me a call! I can guarantee you enter the best Sniper team!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Her lips twitched, and she didn't say much, just expressing her gratitude: "Thank you for your praise. I currently only plan to study hard and participate in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination in July."
The military officer was a little disappointed, but he still didn't give up, promising, "It doesn't matter, contact me after you finish the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. Even if you get into college, you can sign a contract with us first. After you graduate from college, you'll directly enter the army with the rank of Captain!"
Here comes another one drawing a big cake… Xia Chujian thought to herself.
What she wanted to join was the Interstellar Special Forces, not just any army would do.
But she didn't refuse outright, just smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will consider it."
The Principal said, "This time, thanks to Ji Jiayi and Xia Chujian. The school will definitely give you a major award!"
The students in Xia Chujian's class couldn't help but curl their lips.
It was clearly Xia Chujian who made the decisive move and shot the psychotic gunman.
Although Ji Jiayi's two bodyguards had guns, one only knew how to hide, and the other didn't dare to shoot at all. How could they compare with Xia Chujian?
This is the second update. There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
