One day.

It can be short, or it can be long.

This day... for the three who were stationed in the high-rise building across from Gu Shen's apartment, rotating to perform surveillance work, it was a boring and long twenty-four hours.

The moon sets and the sun rises, the sun rises and the moon sets.

"Since the night before yesterday, Teacher disappeared with Gu Shen, and there has been no news." Zhong Wei sat on the windowsill, "It's really intriguing. I wonder what the final training content will be?"

"To be precise, it was last night, after midnight."

Sister Luo took a sip of coffee and corrected lightly.

She held a thick old book in her hands and sat on the balcony rocking chair, maintaining this posture for several hours. As a transcendent of the spiritual system at her level, she had long incorporated breathing techniques into her daily habits. With only a small amount of rest, she could maintain a high level of energy.

In terms of the level of energy, Zhong Wei and Nanjin were far behind.

"By the way, we have been on duty for a whole day."

Nanjin rubbed her eyes and said, "Han Dang hasn't shown up yet... Did he sense the danger?"

"Han Dang is indeed a very sharp guy."

Luo Er said softly, "I have had a few dealings with him in the past few years. This person is full of tricks and extremely cunning. He chose to come to Dateng City for undercover investigation, and he will not easily expose himself."

"But since he came for Gu Shen's review... at the last moment, he will definitely take action." She flipped through the old book, calm and composed, "Just wait patiently."

...

...

"I always feel like someone is watching me."

The crowd surged.

Han Dang changed his appearance, wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a duckbill cap, extremely low-key.

He had already hidden in the crowd and walked back and forth along the street in front of Gu Shen's apartment several times. Every time he was about to enter the entrance of the apartment, his heart would skip a beat, giving rise to a sense of foreboding.

"Something's not right..."

"Something is really wrong..." His intuition was very accurate.

During the execution of missions, he had escaped from dangerous situations multiple times, thanks to this innate intuition.

"The true file of Gu Shen's fire case... I have already submitted it to the review team..." He sneaked into an alley, completely hiding in the darkness, "According to reason, I shouldn't feel so uneasy. Today is the day of the review, and if there is nothing transcendent about him, it will definitely be exposed... I just need to take the ruler as evidence."

Han Dang sorted out his thoughts.

"This kid has fallen under my hypnosis, it's impossible for him to notice."

"But where does this sense of unease come from?" Han Dang couldn't figure it out, shook his head, "Time is limited, I must act."

He took a deep breath.

Walked out of the alley.

Entered the building.

The moment Han Dang entered the apartment building, Luo Er closed the book.

"Get ready to take action."

She stood up, put on her coat, and quickly walked towards the outside of the apartment.

"The guy who just entered the apartment... is Han Dang?"

Nanjin was somewhat surprised. She had been keeping an eye on him all the time, but Sister Luo's gaze had never left the pages of the book. How did she do it? Was it a special application of transcendent abilities?

"I left a 'little object' at the entrance of the XM station... I can sense anyone who approaches it in the first place. As for Han Dang... I am very familiar with his aura, there is no mistake." Sister Luo said, "There may be a fight when we come into contact with Han Dang, be careful and follow behind me."

The three quickly went downstairs and arrived at the opposite building.

"Wait."

Sister Luo stopped, and her two fingers brushed against a transparent sensor door.

"Swoosh."

In the next moment, a thin strand of hair appeared between her fingertips.

After taking off the strand of hair, it immediately wrapped around Sister Luo's little finger on its own.

This strand of hair lay flat and stuck to the sensor door. Unless it was carefully examined inch by inch, it would not be noticed at all.

"This is the 'little object'."

She explained, "Don't misunderstand, this is not my hair... it is a very special transcendent seal. In a sense, it can be considered as my other eye."

"Is there only one strand?" Nanjin was curious.

"Of course..." Sister Luo said, "That's impossible."

"I have placed more than three hundred eyes on the streets outside. Since yesterday, there has always been a guy walking back and forth with the crowd on the street. I have suspected him for a long time. And this 'eye' left at the entrance of the apartment is quite special. Within a certain range, it can not only see, but also sense the fluctuations of spiritual power."

Nanjin suddenly realized.

She felt the abnormal flow of air. Between Sister Luo's words, there were constantly thin strands of hair, almost invisible to the naked eye, gathering towards Sister Luo. The black strands of hair, as thin as spider silk, eventually merged into her own long hair.

In any case, putting the most important "eye" at the entrance would never be wrong.

"He just entered the elevator."

Sister Luo said calmly, "We just need to follow him and catch him."

...

...

"Knock knock knock -"

Knocking on the door.

Soon, there was a response:

"Please come in."

Pushed the door.

It didn't open.

Tried again.

"Creak -"

A slightly harsh sound followed.

The door opened.

Unexpectedly, what came into view was a clean and neat classroom, with the window half open and the curtains constantly fluttering. The desks and chairs had been moved away, leaving only a few arranged in a long table.

Gu Shen rubbed his cheeks. He didn't expect this to be the final review place.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

This place was like a stage for some kind of gathering...?

Every day during the special training, Gu Shen had been imagining what the final review would be like. The scene he imagined in his mind was probably the scene of being interrogated by the Chief Judge last time... dim lights, cramped interrogation room, and important figures with scars on their faces like Yan Shi Cheng sitting together.

Rather than a review...It was more like a solemn judgment.

After the conversation on the rooftop, Mr. Tree spent the last day of his special training with Gu Shen—

There was no 15-kilometer weighted long run, no training to get knocked down a hundred times and get back up.

There was no training at all that day.

He just took Gu Shen around, visiting various places in Dateng City.

The old man somehow got a fancy luxury car and took Gu Shen for a ride around the city, running through a dozen traffic lights, and eating at seven or eight high-end restaurants where Gu Shen couldn't even pronounce the names of the dishes on the menu. Gu Shen didn't want to go anywhere, but the old man's reason was irresistible. He had come to Dateng City with great difficulty and wanted to experience the local customs, while showing Gu Shen what a day he liked looked like.

Gu Shen was also curious about what a day in the life of the old man would look like.

In fact, it was all about eating, drinking, and having fun, like an energetic eighteen-year-old.

On the contrary, Gu Shen was isolated from the world, like a lonely old man on the verge of death.

At the end of the day, Gu Shen lay sprawled out on the large bed in the presidential suite, with the window open and a cold breeze constantly blowing across his face.

Half asleep and half awake, he suddenly remembered something.

He had been here for almost two years.

Today was the first time he had spent a "free" day in the city where he had lived for two years as a tourist.

Freedom is not about having the best car, eating the best food, and living in the best house.

Freedom is not having to worry, not having to be cautious, not having to think about anything.

During the two weeks of special training, every moment of every day, Gu Shen's heart was restless. He would wake up in the middle of the night, and his thoughts would occasionally drift uncontrollably.

The word "audit" was constantly on his mind...

To him, this was a trial.

But after the conversation on the rooftop, Gu Shen suddenly understood the real meaning of Mr. Tree's words.

"Do you hope to be 'S' rank?"

"Yeah... of course!"

In fact, what kind of person you ultimately become has nothing to do with the expectations of others.

It depends on yourself.

If you want to become an "S" rank and are willing to put in all the effort for it... then the final audit result is not so important.

So Gu Shen had the most peaceful sleep he had had in over ten days.

When he woke up, he and Mr. Tree went to Dateng Public School, the best public school in Dateng City, filled with young students around his age.

The final audit location was here, not an interrogation room or an underground research institute.

But a school under the sun.

It was a sunny day, and everything was beautiful.
