Chapter 1

“The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me, the little birds chirp early, early, early, why are you carrying your schoolbag?”

In the early morning, "Li Ang," wearing a blue and white school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, hummed the melody of the children's song as he rode his bicycle through the city streets.

He wore two Bluetooth earphones, held the bicycle handlebars with his right hand, and held a half-eaten seaweed and pork floss rice ball in his left hand, taking a bite every so often as he rode.

Ah, freedom.

"Li Ang," or rather, the eldest Miss Chai in a puppet's clothing, rode along the tree-lined road, took a deep breath of the fresh air filled with the scent of grass and trees, and a look of contentment and peace appeared on her face.

This was the first time she had freely walked in the real world in a physical form, without having to think about fighting or abnormal situations.

The rushing river reflecting the morning sun, the bustling and prosperous city scene, every flower and every tree, gave her a feeling of being alive again.

It was completely different from the world she had come to know through the internet.

The bicycle smoothly turned a corner and traveled a distance.

Through the tall camphor trees planted along the road, she could vaguely see the school buildings not far away and hear the sounds of recitation coming from the campus.

And... ten minutes left.

Chai Chai glanced at Li Ang's watch on her left wrist and slightly increased her pedaling speed.

Some parents' cars, including many luxury cars, were parked in front of the school gate to drop off their children. Behind the electric gate at the school entrance stood two rows of eight students on duty, responsible for greeting the teachers.

Chai Chai glanced at the school scene, and the corner of her eye swept across the surveillance camera next to the electric gate, carefully concealing the curiosity and vigilance in her eyes.

"Saintess, there are no prying eyes around you, everything is normal."

The extremely low and faint voice of the Brain Bug rang directly in her chest, blocked by the puppet's diaphragm, muscles, and skin, unable to reach the outside world, only Miss Chai could hear it.

No prying eyes...

Chai Chai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly rode her bicycle towards the gate.

She was just about to get off the bicycle seat and push it to the bicycle shed, like the other students when entering the campus,

But at the moment before she pressed the brakes, she suddenly remembered that she was Li Ang now and couldn't do such a normal thing.

So...

Chai Chai's eyes sharpened. At the moment of passing through the gate, her body leaned back slightly, her center of gravity shifted backward, and she pulled the bicycle head up, lifting the front wheel into the air, with only the rear wheel touching the ground.

Then, she suddenly rotated the handlebars,

Released both hands, ate the last bite of the rice ball, and then crumpled the plastic bag containing the rice ball into a ball, and like a basketball player, threw the trash bag backward, accurately hitting the narrow entrance of the trash can a few meters away.

Finally, she leaned her body forward, causing the front wheel to smash on the ground with a "bang," stabilizing the rapidly spinning handlebars.

This cool action, like that of a gymnast, did not cause much of a stir.

The old gatekeeper at the gate was not surprised, the freshmen on duty showed a sigh of "seeing is believing" in their eyes, and only those parents who came to drop off their children made exclamations of being unworldly.

This was Li Ang's daily life. A good day starts with making a scene at the school gate.

Chai Chai, having completed the imitation, silently breathed a sigh of relief, her face still calm and composed.

She parked her bicycle in the bicycle shed, picked up her schoolbag, and walked towards the teaching building that Li Ang had mentioned.

Walking through the tree-lined path and passing the pond stone bridge, Chai Chai restrained her desire to look around and slowly walked forward.

"Li Ang."

A male teacher walking towards her with a stack of documents suddenly called out Li Ang's name. Chai Chai was startled and looked up.

She saw the teacher standing still, smiling, and saying, "How's your review preparation going? This final exam is a joint exam for eighteen schools, you have to bring glory to our school and our grade."

Who is this?

Chai Chai awkwardly said "Ah" and racked her brains, recalling the list of teachers and staff at the Experimental High School that Li Ang had shown her yesterday.

"This is the director of studies of the All-Unifying Benevolent Father, Teacher Lu, the Prince of Grade Two."

The Brain Bug's faint reminder sounded in the puppet's chest.

In order to successfully infiltrate, Li Ang had shown the Brain Bug and Chai Chai the school information yesterday. The Brain Bug, with its photographic memory, naturally remembered all the Benevolent Father's instructions.

Teacher Lu, the Prince of Grade Two?

Why are there still people calling themselves princes these days?

He doesn't even look handsome.

A trace of doubt flashed in Chai Chai's mind, but she still nodded honestly, "Teacher Lu, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations and win high scores..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Chai Chai felt that something was wrong—

The smile on the teacher's face froze.

What's going on?

Has he discovered my flaw?!

Has the skin on my forehead cracked open???

Chai Chai was suddenly startled, but she heard the voice of the Brain Bug in her chest, "Saintess, it's not the Prince of Grade Two. It's Grade Two, Teacher Lu, the Prince..."

Ah, this.

Chai Chai's breathing stagnated. After a very brief hesitation, she immediately decided to remedy this small oversight and silently recited in her heart,

"The disguise plan may fail."

"The right arm enters combat-hunting mode, automatic aiming is activated, and a hypnotic anesthetic needle with special effects on mammals is prepared. Target, Prince Lu."

"The Infestor is in position, probing with neural parasite stinger. Mimic Worms No. 1, 3, and 5 are in position, ready to replace those who discover the identity leak at any time."

"Release the biological camouflage of the four high-altitude patrol insect squadrons of [Flying Swallow], [Dark Crow], [Willow Warbler], and [Sparrow], and implement control over the airspace of the Experimental High School. If necessary, lethal measures can be taken against all threatening targets."

"Awaken the Behemoth coastal Zerg fleet, and after a 2-minute delay, strategically airdrop non-toxic miasma sacs on the coast of Yin City to attract the attention of the Special Affairs Bureau."

"Li Ang's" left hand naturally drooped, and a tiny hole opened at the fingertip, emitting invisible and intangible pheromones without any odor.

In the sewers of the Experimental High School, a Zerg unit called the Infestor, with a large abdomen, stood up from the sewage.

Its scorpion-like tail lifted, and the stinger at the tip of the tail slowly probed out of the gap in the sewer cover, aiming at Prince Lu.

Around the Infestor, three caterpillar-like Mimic Worm units also appeared, wriggling constantly on their surfaces.

The elastic green skin twisted and deformed rapidly, changing color, simulating Prince Lu's face, body shape, and even the clothes he was wearing.

And in the high sky, a group of ordinary birds flying past each grew a miniature eyeball on their abdomens, hidden under their feathers, overlooking the entire Experimental High School from above.

"Saintess! Calm down!"

The Brain Bug's voice sounded with a hint of horror, "Don't be impulsive, everything can be remedied!"

Chai Chai seemed not to have heard anything, and continued to maintain an awkward smile on her face.

The Infestor under the manhole cover slowly contracted its tail muscles, ready to shoot the neural parasitic stinger into Prince Lu's neck at any time.

The Mimic Worms had completely transformed into Prince Lu's appearance, preparing to replace him entirely...

"Oh well, okay."

Teacher Lu, the Prince, who was unaware of everything that was happening, waved his hand with some helplessness, "It's good to have this confidence. Go to class."

The puppet's fingertips suddenly stopped releasing pheromones, the Infestor silently retracted the neural parasitic stinger, and the Mimic Worms gradually returned to their original appearance, shrinking in size and hanging on the stone wall above the sewer.

The four high-altitude patrol insect squadrons also retracted their miniature eyeball detection organs.

Everything was calm, and nothing happened.

"Okay, goodbye, Teacher."

"Li Ang" nodded and walked steadily towards the teaching building.

Sure enough, being an undercover agent is so simple.

"My disguise is flawless."
