Chapter 21: He Definitely Has a Hypnosis App

Actually, Fang Wei never really planned to run away.

Mainly because he felt he could still keep things under control.

Qi Qiangcao’s state of insanity was different from Xia Yuanhua’s.

Xia Yuanhua was essentially depressive, an abrupt extremity, but Qi Qiangcao was chronic, immersed in her own world of delusions.

She was like an actor performing alone on stage, and as long as Fang Wei accompanied her in this make-believe, playing his part as required, everything would be fine.

Of course, that was assuming Qi Qiangcao didn’t show any other symptoms.

Otherwise, Fang Wei would be smiling wryly.

“Hold steady! You can’t rush the development of a magical girl!”

Fang Wei always considered himself a high-quality youth who never self-destructs.

Although he admitted that when he saw Qi Qiangcao go off the rails, he was indeed startled.

But at that moment, his thoughts ranged from Phantom Saint Girl to Madoka and then to Q-baby, ultimately anchoring on his rich galgame experience.

A magical madwoman? You want to mess with my mentality? What is there to fear when I combine my invincible patience from playing Souls games with my invincible wisdom from galgames!

He gave himself a mental pep talk.

So, the next day, Fang Wei deliberately wore the clothes Qi Qiangcao had chosen and blended back into the computer science department.

He hid in the last row, maintaining a surveillance state.

[Corruption Value: 68%]

Little Lucky Beast was still Little Lucky Beast.

It seemed that only when she was with him did Qi Qiangcao show instability.

In front of her classmates, she was still the class mascot, getting along with all the girls and able to join any conversation.

In a sense, Qi Qiangcao must be a very good listener.

When the girl next to her chatted endlessly about school gossip, she just listened patiently, occasionally nodding in response.

Her smile carried the purity, gentleness, and youthful vibe unique to girls, like an October Sakura blooming in autumn.

Seemingly elegant and simple, but her heart was layered and complex like overlapping petals.

A girl is also a woman, her thoughts are complex.

October Sakura is still a sakura, belonging to the Yaezakura.

It would be even better if this Yaezakura didn’t go crazy and stab you with a knife.

“Bro, still here to watch the department flower today?”

After getting familiar with Passerby Bro a couple of days ago, Passerby Bro came over again.

He sized up Fang Wei today and, to be honest, he looked more human.

A man’s wardrobe, after all, is white, black, white and black, black and white.

So as long as you dress up a bit and change into a nice outfit, it can be refreshing.

Qi Qiangcao’s taste in clothes needed no comment.

When Fang Wei wore them, even passing men would glance twice and give the highest praise of their kind, “Oh——”.

“Such a pity.”

Passerby Bro patted his shoulder.

“Bro, even though your looks are on point and your clothes add to it, dressing like this is pointless now.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Fang Wei was a bit confused.

In fact, he had wanted to ask earlier—what was up with the computer science department today?

The Corruption Value above the heads of many boys and girls had risen to around 45%, which, for ordinary people without severe psychological issues, was already quite serious.

Fortunately, Passerby Bro, like a fixed NPC, could always answer his doubts.

“Yesterday, someone saw Qi Qiangcao walking with an unfamiliar man in the food court, arms around each other. It was almost certain they were a couple. So bro, we’ve got no chance.”

“……”

“The ‘unfamiliar man’ straightened his back.

So that’s how it was.

These fragile-hearted college students, just because the girl they liked was dating someone else, their defenses crumbled.

Oh, and I’m that date, so it’s fine.

He put on a UC shock face.

“So the whole Knight Order had their dao hearts shattered?”

“Pretty much. By the way, haven’t you checked the group chat?”

Fang Wei opened his phone and found [☞Little Lucky Beast☆Knight Order☜], a group chat of three thousand people, which had been urgently muted by the Group Leader after last night’s barrage.

Afterwards came a generous speech from the Captain Wang Huan, reminiscent of Xi’er.

[I know this matter made many people feel unsettled, but before the truth is clear, I hope everyone stays calm.]

[First of all, we can’t yet determine the truth of this incident. Even if the eyewitness wasn’t lying, that man could be Xiaocao’s brother or little brother.]

[Besides, our Knight Order will always protect Xiaocao. Even if she really has a boyfriend, we should offer our blessings!]

Then came a string of “West Sea” speeches.

Looks normal, doesn’t it?

Hehe, Fang Wei reversed the hand and opened the campus forum.

It was simply unbearable to look at…

If cyberattacks could kill, a thousand Undying Totems wouldn’t be enough.

“Wah, it’s so intense, wouldn’t that guy be hacked to death by Qi Qiangcao’s Knight Order?”

“Yeah, so everyone’s investigating which school and department that guy belongs to.”

Passerby Bro suddenly lowered his voice and pointed at the Knight Order’s captain, Wang Huan, sitting in front of them.

“Don’t be fooled by the captain’s words about defending others. His grand stealth mission was disrupted, so when it’s time to hack, he might be wielding a big sword.”

“That’s serious. To destroy Qi Qiangcao’s perfect image in the Knight Order, such a person must be punished severely!”

Fang Wei was happy to watch the drama unfold.

Looking over, Captain Wang Huan in the front row exuded calmness, discussing with his allies how to find that guy.

Their conversation even drifted to Zhuge Yu, wondering if they should ask her some questions.

Just as Fang Wei expected, Zhuge Yu really did have intricate ties with Qi Qiangcao, and this was no secret within the Knight Order.

Unfortunately, after three or four friend requests were declined, Fang Wei’s motivation was thoroughly extinguished.

Now that the situation had revived, he took the initiative to interrupt the chatting guys.

“Captain, are you guys looking for the guy who dated Qi Qiangcao yesterday?”

“You are?”

Wang Huan glanced over, then remembered.

“Oh, you’re the new member who joined a few days ago.”

“Being new doesn’t matter. What’s important is, I was present when Qi Qiangcao was on that date yesterday.”

Fang Wei laid out the key point.

“So I saw that guy, and I also know which department he’s from.”

“Really?”

Wang Huan and the others were immediately intrigued and leaned in.

But Fang Wei didn’t continue.

“By the way, you mentioned Zhuge Yu earlier, right? To be honest, I’m quite interested in that girl, but I can’t add her as a friend. I wanted to ask what’s up.”

“Of course you can’t add her. After Zhuge Yu got cyberbullied last time, no one could contact her.”

“So that’s it, cyberbullying… Well, do you brothers have any more details? I’m willing to exchange the guy’s info for it!”

“Really?”

Wang Huan, who had been preparing for a long-term battle, hadn’t expected such good fortune.

Finding someone wasn’t hard in their university social circle.

Often, with a little tip, you could dig up everything about someone, even which dorm they lived in and their phone number.

But that took time, and besides, gray deals involving money were never as safe and fast as gossip exchanges.

He laughed, slinging an arm around Fang Wei’s shoulder.

Fang Wei put on an expression that practically screamed for a sworn brotherhood.

After a bit of back-and-forth, Wang Huan sent over a collection of Zhuge Yu’s gossip.

Fang Wei quietly glanced at his student ID.

When Si Chen created his fake identity, he chose the acting department.

Although Fang Wei had never been there, it couldn’t really be called a lie.

After all, he was an honest person!

Fang Wei patted his chest, assuring everyone that the guy was from the acting department, about 1.8 meters tall, and that he’d definitely recognize him next time.

“Bro, you’re really a good guy. By the way, I don’t even know your name yet.”

“Ahahaha, Captain, my name doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m a part of our group!”

In the midst of Passerby Bro’s confusion, Fang Wei chatted and laughed with Wang Huan and the others.

“By the way, Captain, what are you planning to do after finding that guy? It’s not good to mess up someone’s relationship.”

“How could we? We’re just trying to prevent Xiaocao from being tricked by bad guys. Heh, if that guy’s not decent, we’ll steal his food deliveries every day!”

Wow, that’s seriously severe.

But honestly, if someone came to steal his food delivery every day, even Fang Wei’s good temper would be tested.

He patted the shoulders of the brothers and stood up.

“That’s a shame. I don’t usually order takeout.”

“Eh?”

While the Knight Order members looked puzzled, Fang Wei had already left his seat, walking toward Qi Qiangcao.

“My boyfriend is here. Let’s chat later.”

“Eh? Xiaocao really got a boyfriend? I was just about to ask… Wow, he’s a handsome guy…”

Amidst the flamboyant smile of Qi Qiangcao’s deskmate, Fang Wei felt goosebumps.

He had just walked halfway when Qi Qiangcao trotted up and crashed into his arms.

The girl, not wearing her glasses, squinted and stared at him intently, speaking in a soft and cute voice.

“Good morning, boyfriend.”

She seemed completely unconcerned about what happened yesterday, clinging to Fang Wei like a sloth.

“Alright, let’s talk outside if you have something to say.”

Their interaction inevitably drew many eyes.

Qi Qiangcao was already the class focus, and now it was as if Fang Wei, an outsider, had publicly stolen the class’s giant panda.

He pulled Qi Qiangcao out.

The hand he had just grasped was suddenly shaken free.

Qi Qiangcao shook her head in dissatisfaction, puffed her cheeks, and gestured OK with her small hand.

Fang Wei had no choice but to go along, and after performing a very ceremonious ten-finger interlock, he held the girl overflowing with girlish energy and made a swift exit.

Although he left through the back door to avoid attention, it was only self-comfort.

Fang Wei felt he would definitely be resented for this.

For example, by the Knight Order members who had just sworn brotherhood with him and plotted to steal his food deliveries.

Right here…

In their computer science class…

Their department flower, Little Lucky Beast, Lucky Star, class treasure had been taken away!!!

“No, who the hell is that guy!”

Some people saw their Corruption Value +1 +1 rise.

They felt that as Knight Order members, they were just one step away from winning the princess.

How did they get all the way to the castle gate, only to have the treasure snatched by a dragon?

Something’s wrong. This guy is definitely suspicious!

Drugs? Coercion? Hypnosis app!

Damn it, you definitely have the legendary hypnosis app!

You’re despicable, you animal!
