The vice principal composed himself and then shouted to the girl on the rooftop:

"Student, I am your vice principal, Chen Yinsheng. I have a few words to say to you as someone who has been through what you are going through."

"First, life is bound to encounter many setbacks and hardships; you must face them bravely."

"Second, when you feel you can't bear it and choose to give up, think of your parents, think of their hopeful eyes, think of how heartbroken they will be after you're gone..."

"Third..."

It wasn't clear if Vice Principal Chen Yinsheng's words had any effect, but the girl's crying grew louder.

At this moment, a few boys and girls squeezed in.

"Unrelated people, do not approach."

Chen Yinsheng immediately warned them angrily in a low voice.

"Principal, we are her roommates."

The girls said with worried faces.

"Then you?"

Chen Yinsheng looked at the few boys.

The boys, somewhat embarrassed, said, "We are her boyfriend's roommates."

"Where is her boyfriend?"

Chen Yinsheng's eyes lit up instantly. If it was a matter of heartbreak, the one who caused it should be the one to resolve it. If the boyfriend were here, a few kind words might help, even if they were lies, to get the girl down first.

"He..."

The boys exchanged even more awkward glances and, under the angry gazes of the girls, said, "He went on a date."

"Damn it, what kind of students are you! How can you go on a date at a time like this!"

Chen Yinsheng was so angry he swore. He couldn't believe there were such inhuman students in the school.

Fang Qiu, standing nearby, also felt disdain for the boy, thinking he was a scumbag.

However, he didn't think this was just a simple case of infidelity.

Infidelity leading to a girl's suicide attempt seemed unlikely for someone her age, especially since they had all gone through the gaokao.

"You, as her roommates, might be able to persuade her not to do anything foolish."

Chen Yinsheng turned to the boys and said angrily, "You, go find that guy! Hurry, now!"

"Yes! Yes!"

The boys ran off in a hurry.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing? Don't be so impulsive!"

The girls, her close friends, shouted anxiously to the rooftop.

"I..."

Hearing her friends' voices, Sun Qi finally reacted, looked down, and choked up, but continued to cry.

"It's just a man, what's so great about him? Is it worth you trying to kill yourself?"

"Come down, we agreed to spend a wonderful four years of college together, didn't we? You said you wanted to be lifelong friends, didn't you? You said you would be my bridesmaid at our weddings, didn't you? Are all these promises meaningless now?"

"Sniff, sniff..."

Sun Qi covered her face and sobbed.

At the same time, the surrounding students also joined in, trying to persuade her.

"Student, cherish your life!"

"Yes, you are still in the bloom of youth, why undervalue your life? You have a lot of beautiful times and a bright future ahead!"

...

The waves of voices grew louder, but Sun Qi continued to sob with her face covered.

A young officer walked over, looked at the rooftop, and then said to Chen Yinsheng and the others, "You continue, we are ready to go up. Remember, you must distract her!"

"Okay!"

Chen Yinsheng replied.

But before he could finish speaking,

"Ah!"

There was a sudden cry of alarm.

Just then, Sun Qi suddenly moved her body outward, stepping on the edge of the water tank below, leaning forward, and holding onto the wall. Her center of gravity was now outside the wall, supported only by her arms. If she let go, she would fall immediately.

"No!"

"Come back! Come back!"

Everyone shouted urgently.

"Sun Qi, don't! Come back, come back!"

Her friends cried out in panic.

"I'm sorry, I can't fulfill the promises I made to you."

Sun Qi sobbed, muttering to the people below.

The young officer knew immediately that it was too late.

He needed time for any measures, but the girl didn't give him any.

But he had dealt with too many deaths and could tell at a glance that the girl was determined to die.

He became anxious.

As a soldier, could he just stand by and watch, helpless?

No, he had to find a way!

At this moment, Fang Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly slipped away from the crowd.

Once away from the crowd, Fang Qiu immediately ran back to the dormitory at top speed, dug out the black smiley mask.

He thought to himself that he would have to keep this thing with him from now on.

Fang Qiu took the mask, didn't go downstairs, but went straight to the rooftop.

He leaped down from the rooftop into the woods below!

As soon as he landed and before anyone could react, he darted out and rushed towards the teaching building.

This time he didn't slow down, going full speed, since no one knew it was him.

The students in the woods were left in a daze.

What just happened?

What fell down?

How did it disappear so quickly?

When Fang Qiu arrived at the scene and saw that the girl hadn't jumped yet, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without time to think, he instantly transformed into a shadow, leaping from behind the crowd towards the wall of the teaching building.

Seeing a figure suddenly appear above them, everyone was stunned.

When they saw the person's attire,

the military uniform and black mask,

someone in the crowd exclaimed,

"Ah! The mysterious person!"

"The mysterious person?!"

"The mysterious person is here!!!"

...

Everyone immediately became agitated.

Clearly, these were people who had seen the campus forum posts the day before.

Many who believed the video content were surprised to see the mysterious person in real life.

"The mysterious person?"

Vice Principal Chen Yinsheng quickly asked the staff around him, "What mysterious person?"

"Our school had a student issue a public challenge yesterday afternoon, and a super powerful student appeared, said to be able to run on walls, that's the mysterious person."

The staff member said, looking at the figure with reverence.

Run on walls?

Vice Principal Chen Yinsheng found it hard to believe and thought it was absurd.

At a time like this, why were these people causing a commotion?

The young officer, however, was staring intently at Fang Qiu.

You finally showed up!

This time, I won't let you run away. I want to see who you are and how powerful you are.

Chen Cong, in the crowd, was also shocked, looking at Fang Qiu's figure with clenched fists.

Finally, I see the senior again!

The senior has been at the school all along!

Everyone's eyes were on Fang Qiu, wondering what he would do and how he would do it.

What is Fang Qiu going to do?

He is, of course, going to save her!

As for how?

Simple!

Without a word, he leaped forward, heading straight for the wall of the teaching building.

"Wow!"

Everyone was amazed.

Being able to leap over the crowd was already shocking, but what happened next was even more astonishing.

The mysterious figure approached the wall like a cheetah.

He suddenly jumped up, grabbed the window ledge of the first floor, pulled himself up with his arms, and kicked off with his feet.

He ran up the wall like a beast.

Heaven!

Everyone covered their mouths, shocked by what they saw.

This is a wall!

A vertical wall!

He just "climbed" up it?

More impressive than Spider-Man!

Fang Qiu's movements were extremely fast, and there was no sign of hesitation, even on the wall, he moved as if on flat ground!

The young officer's eyes flashed with admiration.

Someone could be so powerful!

As a martial artist, he believed his strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he could climb walls using his arm strength.

But he would never move like a beast on the wall!

Who is this person?

How powerful is he?

This secret excited him, and he was very eager to uncover it.

He believed that if such a person were recruited into the military, he would be an invaluable asset, a godlike soldier!

He must recruit him!

He must!

Chen Cong's eyes were fixed on the mysterious person.

The mysterious person once again displayed martial arts beyond his understanding.

Vice Principal Chen Yinsheng, who had never seen the mysterious person, was even more shocked.

How could someone defy the laws of physics?

He had never even imagined that someone could really run on walls.

And now, someone was doing it right in front of him.

And it was a student at Jiangjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine!

A student in a first-year military uniform!

Has the world changed?

The crowd below was stunned, but Fang Qiu's actions did not stop.

He continued to climb.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the third floor.

Less than ten meters from Sun Qi.

Just two more climbs.

Everyone below was filled with hope.

Perhaps this person could save Sun Qi.

Faster!

Many people were nervously cheering for the mysterious person.

But at this moment, the situation took a sudden turn.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry."

Sun Qi said with a blank look and let go of her hands!

Everyone was terrified and cried out in alarm.

Some even closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch the tragic scene.

Not good!

Fang Qiu's eyes narrowed, and a flash of determination appeared in them.

He used his hands and feet to push off the wall, and his body soared diagonally towards Sun Qi.

Soaring in the air?!

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

This is risking his life!

Even if he caught Sun Qi, they would both fall!

They could already foresee two lives lost!

The officer below, however, stared intently at Fang Qiu, thinking the justice-driven mysterious person's action was too impulsive.

Could he really soar in the air?

It was impossible!

To his knowledge, only a few old masters could do it, and they were all top-tier figures.

This mysterious person couldn't do it!

Too reckless! This mysterious person might not save her and end up sacrificing himself!

Would Fang Qiu sacrifice himself?

Of course not!

While the crowd below was worried, he had already approached the falling Sun Qi.

He quickly wrapped his right arm around her waist.

In this short time, they had already dropped to the third floor!

And their descent was accelerating.

Falling two floors would take only a few seconds.

At the critical moment, Fang Qiu's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.

He shouted inwardly, extended his left hand, and grabbed the window ledge of the fourth floor.

He held on tightly!

Although the downward momentum was stopped,

his body was still pushed hard against the wall by inertia.

He quickly turned, using his body to protect Sun Qi, and his back collided hard with the wall.
