[BL] Daily Disposable Persona

3: Child of the Wind 03

"Hello, student. According to our investigation you have a connection with the murder case in the financial district two days ago. Please come with us."

The police officer in charge spoke in a cold, hard voice, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon's. He stared closely at Zong Yan's face, not letting any hint of expression escape his notice.

Two days ago. The financial center. It all pointed to the same incident.

Zong Yan thought he'd taken enough steps to conceal himself. He didn't expect to be caught the first time. It was really kind of embarrassing.

Although he had some powers ordinary people didn't have, Zong Yan considered himself to be pretty low-key. If it hadn't been for the star vampire, a genuine threat to human life, Zong Yan never would have dared to openly fly in a rainstorm, which could expose his abilities at a glance.

He had nothing to do with the corpse drained by the star vampire. On the contrary, he'd upheld justice, performed good deeds, and accumulated virtue. He busted his chops to cut down that creature with his wind knife, eliminating a menace to the public. And because of that, he'd also missed the exam.

It had to be said that Zong Yan was an innocent person facing false charges.

But if you weren't guilty of anything, you wouldn't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door.

"Okay."

He nodded quietly and didn't make a move, cooperating with the police.

Although he looked calm on the surface, Zong Yan's heart was in turmoil.

He was just a poverty-stricken student. He studied hard until 3:00 AM and made progress every day. Although he didn't have any parents, he'd grown up with his grandma. The only difference between him and other people was that he possessed superpowers.

But the heavens could see the conscience of everyone under the sun. Zong Yan had never done a single bad thing with his abilities.

If he had done something bad, he wouldn't be so poor.

"Take him away."

When the police captain saw Zong Yan's cooperation, his expression relaxed a little. He waved his hand and the officers in back surrounded Zong Yan in a cross shape. Each one looked alert and on guard. It seemed that if Zong Yan pulled any sudden moves in the middle of all these people, they'd immediately pull out their guns or just come in for a chokehold.

The whole thing was utterly weird.

Zong Yan's thoughts were a mess.

He still hadn't figured out how he was exposed. Obviously he'd detected every camera and shielded himself with an electromagnetic pulse in the elevator. There was really no reason to be caught like this.

What's more, the degree of severity was shady as hell. Why the need for such a big show of force against a student? Generally speaking, if a minor was suspected of a crime, weren't they supposed to protect his privacy?

Zong Yan began to speculate and made a frightening guess.

—Maybe they'd known for a long time that this seemingly ordinary second-year student had unusual abilities.

In any case, he was all set to go.

"Mr. Officer, could there be some kind of misunderstanding?"

When the police took Zong Yan into custody and were preparing to walk out of the room in full view of the class, the physics teacher suddenly came over, trembling, and broke the silence.
