Normally, conducting the experiment in the early morning was the perfect way to avoid people. It was an ideal time, with no one around to bother them.

’So much for that. Now, an NPC has started to reliably spawn and patrol here...’

’If it were any other matter, it would have been fine.’

’But no, activating the Positron Cannon just had to involve a synchronized countdown, a phone call, answering the phone call, and two people coordinating through the Film Club window;’

’Add to that the noise the Positron Cannon made when it started... This strange ritual would absolutely be noticed by this janitor.’

’Once or twice would be fine.’

’But over and over, day after day... If this strange ritual were performed every single morning, it was only a matter of time before word got out and the Positron Cannon was exposed!’

’No.’

’I have to think of something.’

’I can’t let this janitor see.’

Suddenly, an idea struck Jiang Ran:

”Sir, let me help you sweep.”

He stepped forward and grabbed another broom from the three-wheeled cart.

”No, no!”

The man hastily refused:

”I couldn’t possibly let a student help me clean. I can manage on my own.”

”It’s no problem, sir.”

Jiang Ran started working deftly:

”I’m out for my morning workout anyway. Besides... I feel bad about accidentally kicking you earlier, so please let me help you. Think of it as my way of making it up to you.”

Seeing how earnest Jiang Ran was, the janitor hesitated for a moment before agreeing:

”Alright then. Thanks for your help, young man.”

With the two of them working together, the job went quickly. In less than ten minutes, they had swept the entire area behind the club building clean.

The janitor shoveled the leaves, trash, paper scraps, and other debris onto his three-wheeled cart, wiped the sweat from his brow, and bid Jiang Ran farewell:

”Thanks, young man. You’re a truly kind-hearted person. Well, I’m off.”

”Goodbye, sir.”

After waving goodbye to the man, Jiang Ran stretched his limbs and returned to his spot outside the Film Club window.

”Jiang Ran, you’re so kind-hearted...”

Chi Xiaoguo, who was perched at the window and had witnessed the entire exchange, remarked with a sigh:

”Whether it was helping that man sweep or helping me save the Film Club back then, you’re always so willing to help people! You’re a really good person!”

Jiang Ran gave a wry smile:

”To be honest, I just didn’t want him interfering with our experiment. I told you last semester, this kind of experiment has to be kept strictly confidential.”

”So... you can say I was being kind-hearted, but really, I just wanted to get him to leave sooner so we could start our experiment.”

However, Chi Xiaoguo shook her head:

”Jiang Ran, we judge people by their actions, not their intentions. I don’t think your motive is that important.”

”Who in this world doesn’t have their own motives? But even so, plenty of people wouldn’t bother getting involved or going out of their way to help someone.”

”Okay, okay.”

Jiang Ran took out his phone and got into position:

”It’s getting late. Let’s get started.”

”Okay!”

After agreeing, Chi Xiaoguo went back inside the Film Club and placed her finger on the Positron Cannon’s activation button:

”Alright, Jiang Ran, I’m starting the countdown!”

After keying in Jiang Ran’s phone number and hitting the dial button, Chi Xiaoguo took a deep breath:

”5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 0!”

RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING!

Amid the loud ringing of the phone, the Positron Cannon roared to life with a blue glow.

Jiang Ran nailed the timing, slamming the answer button on his phone—

VMMMM!

The familiar ringing in his ears, the familiar vertigo—Jiang Ran was once again plunged into a vortex of space and time, unable to move or resist.

His five senses vanished into a pitch-black darkness, and he plummeted into a disorienting abyss.

Two seconds later, his senses returned, and he felt solid ground beneath his feet.

Jiang Ran took a deep breath and opened his eyes...

Right on cue, Sang Biao’s voice came from the room next door:

”Do you know what the most important part of a successful prison break is?”
