#351 - Star Staff and Human Figure

Left with no choice after being threatened, Wally had to agree to Courtney's request to go to Blue Valley High School with her, to prevent any accidents from happening to her.

Although they didn't have any means of transportation, fortunately, Blue Valley wasn't that big. Wally and Courtney only spent about half an hour walking to the vicinity of Blue Valley High School.

But unexpectedly, after arriving near Blue Valley High School, Courtney said that they couldn't go in yet and had to wait until dark.

"Why?" Wally asked, puzzled.

Courtney pointed to the security booth and then said, "Blue Valley High School generally doesn't allow students to enter on holidays. That muscle-bound guard definitely won't let us in."

"But it's different at night," Courtney said with a smirk. "I once saw that the guard gets off work around five o'clock on holidays, and I'll have my own way to get us in then."

Looking at Courtney's mysterious expression, Wally was speechless and said, "Since we have to wait so long, why don't we go home for dinner first?"

"Because if I do that, I probably won't be able to get out," Courtney rolled her eyes at Wally. "Maybe someone will tell my parents about my plan, preventing me from coming out."

Wally didn't say anything. He could tell that Courtney was referring to him. Although he hadn't thought of that method at first, he had to admit that he would definitely do it if he had the chance.

Under Courtney's lead, the two first went to the supermarket to buy some snacks to fill their stomachs, and then began to wait for the moment when the guard got off work.

Time always slips away unnoticed. Wally and Courtney finally waited for the moment when the security guard got off work. Courtney even waited until it was a bit darker to be safe before taking action.

After it got dark, the two finally sneaked around to the back of the school, standing in front of a wall more than two meters high. Wally spread his hands and said.

"Now it's time to talk about your plan, right? We can't do anything without getting over this wall. If you ask me, let's just go back."

"Okay, pessimist," Courtney rummaged through her fanny pack. She first took out two different colored bands and handed one to Wally.

Wally took the bands and discovered that they weren't just any bands. Based on the two holes that had been made, Wally could deduce that these should be two masks.

Sure enough, Courtney took the lead in tying the band to her head. The wide band covered the upper half of her face.

"How is it? I made this mask myself."

Faced with Courtney's question, Wally just silently tied the band to his head. He had to admit that the girl's skills were not bad. The position of the eye holes was well-made and wouldn't block his vision, but the band was too long, even when tied behind his head, it still stuck out a lot.

Seeing that Wally didn't speak, Courtney didn't press him. She just continued to rummage in her fanny pack, and in the blink of an eye, she took out a golden stick the size of a key.

Before Wally could take a closer look, the stick was thrown into the air by Courtney, and then it grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into a staff as tall as a person.

Wally rubbed his eyes. It wasn't that he doubted that he had seen it wrong, but that he was wondering if he had recognized the wrong person. Could the person in front of him not be the real Courtney, but a monkey from the East pretending to be her?

"How is it?" Courtney brandished the staff in her hand as if showing off. Wally narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have seen the staff in Courtney's hand somewhere before.

The golden body, the winding shape, and the recognizable head like a harpoon, wasn't this the equipment of the sacrificed Star-Spangled Kid—the Star-Scepter?

"Is that the Star-Spangled Kid's Star-Scepter?" Wally asked uncertainly.

"You have good eyes," Courtney raised her face proudly. "This is the exclusive weapon of the late superhero, the Star-Spangled Kid, the Star-Scepter, but it's mine now. How is it? Envious?"

"Wow, I'm so envious."

Faced with Wally's emotionless reading, Courtney didn't care at all. She took this as a sign of Wally's envy and jealousy. Courtney twirled the Star-Scepter and said.

"I'm going to rely on it to become the new generation of superheroes. Tonight's action will be my debut show."

"Wait a minute," Wally stopped Courtney's reverie. "Where did you find this Star-Scepter? I remember it should be on display in the Justice Hall, right?"

"Are you talking about the one in the Justice Hall Museum?" Courtney said. "Although I'm not very clear, it's obvious that the one in the Justice Hall is a fake, and the one in my hand is the real deal."

"As for how I got this Star-Scepter..." Courtney deliberately dragged out her tone. "Let's talk about that later. Now, the top priority is to get into the school."

As soon as she finished speaking, Courtney sat sideways on the Star-Scepter, and at the same time, she gestured for Wally to sit behind her. Seeing this, Wally didn't decline and honestly sat on it.

"Hold on tight," Courtney reminded him. The Star-Scepter began to rise in height, and with the help of the Star-Scepter, the two easily climbed over the wall less than three meters high.

"This is the first time I've entered the campus at night," Courtney stood up after the Star-Scepter landed at a suitable height. Wally behind her did the same. They turned their heads and looked around at Blue Valley High School at night.

"It always feels like a horror movie," Wally said, pretending to be scared. As a veteran, he was naturally not afraid of these things. He said this to get Courtney to give up the idea of adventure and go back with him as soon as possible, to avoid hindering Yang Le.

The latest novels are first published on the Liǔ 9 Shū Bá!

It's just that Courtney didn't buy it at all. She looked at Wally with disdain and said, "If you're scared, go back yourself. I won't be scared by this little thing."

After Courtney finished speaking, she started walking inside with the Star-Scepter. Wally had no choice but to honestly follow behind Courtney.

After walking for a while, Courtney turned her head and asked, "Do you know what Mr. Yang's goal is?"

"How would I know?" Wally rolled his eyes at Courtney. "If you ask me, all of this is just your fantasy. There is no secret agent operation at all, and Mr. Yang is not a secret agent. We should go back as soon as possible."

"Since everything I guessed is wrong, why are you still coming with me?"

"I'm just worried about something happening to you."

"That's so kind of you, philanthropist."

Courtney and Wally were arguing in low voices. Suddenly, in the corner of Wally's eye, he saw a figure flashing past at an extremely fast speed. Of course, this extremely fast speed was for ordinary people. For Wally, who was a speedster, this speed was not fast enough.

The Speed Force was activated, and Wally turned his head to look at the figure. Unfortunately, there were no lighting facilities on the campus at night, and he couldn't see the figure's real face clearly, but he still saw some characteristics.

The person's head had obvious irregularities, obviously wearing a mask or helmet. There was also a long thing hanging on his waist. According to Wally's knowledge, that thing should be a sword or knife.

It seems that Blue Valley is really not as calm as it seems on the surface.
