The thing Jian Qi regretted most in his life wasn't being abandoned outside an orphanage at the age of three, awakening the universally acknowledged as most useless consciousness-type psychic power in the Alliance, or losing a bet to Xi Luo in his senior year and having to buy him breakfast for ten years.
It was something that happened one evening a few years ago, when someone said to an empty room, “Come on, smile.”
And then he actually smiled. Jian Qi figured he must have been possessed. He'd been so aloof back then!
“You smiled,” Jian Qi said. “Now can you tell me your name?”
“No.”
“...Why not?”
“Because your expression is hilarious when you call me ‘Hey.’”
Jian Qi decided he would call this guy “Hey” forever.
A genius boy pretending to slack off, a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted ghost, and four deadbeat teammates who love watching the chaos unfold. Shockingly, the things they do are not only bizarre, but even more shockingly, one of their teammates isn't even human!
Jian Niannian: “So what if I'm not human? And this AI is no ordinary AI!”
Senior year is all about fighting monsters, gossiping, and casually uncovering secrets you buried with your own hands in a past life, right?
Oh, right. There seems to be something buried beneath the Arctic ice sheet, but that's a story for another time.
