Chapter 150: Qi Xingyu's Pursuer |
"In the box? What box?"
Before Guan Shan could understand, his vision went completely black, as if the owner of the view had closed their eyes. In the blink of an eye, he was back to seeing Sun Han.
Sun Han stared at him in shock, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Guan Shan noticed Sun Han was fixated on his eyes. Instinctively, he touched his lower eyelid and asked, "What happened?"
Sun Han replied, "Just now, your eyes had an extra pupil."
She pointed to one of the eyeballs on the flower in the pot. "And that one lost its pupil."
So that's how the transfer of vision works?
Guan Shan broke into a cold sweat, fully understanding why Sun Han looked like she had seen a ghost.
If he saw that happen to someone else, he'd probably pass out from fright.
"Anyway... just consider it a Panspirit Object that can share vision."
Guan Shan explained what he had seen. "That person might be the Esper responsible for Qi Xingyu's disappearance. It seems she is now trapped in a 'box.' You could start looking in that direction."
Sun Han frowned. Although Guan Shan said so, she had never heard of him possessing such a Panspirit Object.
From her silence, Guan Shan sensed her doubt. Helplessly, he offered, "I can prove this ability."
He attempted to touch the other eyes, finding the vision of the female support staff.
Since she was part of the Wuhao Team, she couldn't be collaborating with him, making her the most credible.
Naturally, at this time, the support staff would be working, not engaged in personal matters. Otherwise, Guan Shan wouldn't dare share another woman's vision.
Each time Guan Shan described what the support staff was doing, Sun Han went to verify it.
After three times, Sun Han believed him.
Guan Shan described even the tiniest details vividly, making it impossible for Sun Han not to believe.
Over the next few days, Sun Han followed his advice, searching for anything related to a "box." However, since Guan Shan himself hadn't been ruled out as a suspect, he had to stay idle in the base...
While Sun Han trusted him, Qi Xingyu's admirers did not.
They only knew Qi Xingyu had a conflict with Guan Shan before her disappearance.
If Guan Shan hadn't stayed behind closed doors, his impressive record deterring them, these die-hard fans of Qi Xingyu might have torn him apart.
Especially since one of Qi Xingyu's admirers, a B-level Esper from Wuhao Team's first squad, had an ambiguous relationship with her.
Fortunately, this person was on a mission and wouldn't return soon.
As for Guan Shan... he had no personal interest in finding Qi Xingyu, enjoying his leisure time.
He stayed in his room, chatting remotely with the Youhao Team trio, learning about their fight with "Death Hive."
Since "Death Hive" considered Guan Shan a thorn in their side, he needed to keep an eye on them to avoid any surprises.
For the first time, the first squad trio had such direct and close interaction with Guan Shan, appearing very lively.
Especially Tang Zhi, whose ability was "Synesthesia." Hearing about Guan Shan's new Panspirit Object, he was excited and wanted to try it out, despite his previous fear of Guan Shan.
But learning that only Guan Shan could use it left him disappointed.
However, a few days later, Tang Zhi came up with another idea.
Since Tang Zhi could share his synesthesia with others, if his vision was recorded in the [Blossoming Eye Cluster], when he used his ability, wouldn't it mean Guan Shan could see the memories of others through his eyes?
Tang Zhi was so excited that he wanted to fly to Liaoning to experiment with Guan Shan if not for his mission...
This showed that the trio's current mission wasn't urgent, allowing them time for jokes.
The operation against "Death Hive" was no longer a solo action by Youhao Team but a large-scale joint effort.
Half of the "Drone Bees" had reportedly been eliminated by Special Security Group—closely tied to Li Li's defection, which was directly due to Guan Shan.
The central dispatch of Special Security Group had noticed Guan Shan, sparking significant debate.
Some saw his potential and unorthodox methods as talent.
Others viewed him as ruthless and unpredictable, a potential time bomb.
Guan Shan only cared about "Death Hive" being eradicated. Unfortunately, the remaining half proved harder to flush out, with their base well-hidden.
Still, it was evident that "Death Hive" was in a state of collapse, likely not posing a threat anytime soon.
The most exciting news was that if "Death Hive's" base was found, an A-level Esper from the Tian Gan squad would join the fight.
As one of the "victims," Guan Shan found this very reassuring.
Being part of an organization felt good!
Thinking this, Guan Shan ended his chat and opened his door.
He felt it was time to stretch his legs after being cooped up in his room for so long...
The moment he stepped out, a thin, transparent fishing line looped around his neck, making him stop.
"Are you Guan Shan? What did Yu Jie tell you before she disappeared?!"
A voice, unfamiliar but filled with anger, sounded beside him. The fishing line tightened, nearly cutting into his throat.
So much for relaxing! Guan Shan cursed inwardly. The distinctive fishing line marked the B-level Esper Luo Yi's ability—pure telekinesis.
As Guan Shan leaned back, preparing to flee and call Sun Han for help, a familiar, almost comforting voice drowned out Luo Yi's question.

[Loading plot, please wait...]
[Plot loaded!]
[Why is Valentine's Day white? Because you killed a love worth singing about, and now, the avengers are ready with everything white to mourn you.]
[*Note: Only by killing the final boss can this simulation end!]
Guan Shan's vision blurred, and a pale paper figure with black hollow eyes, streaming with blood, appeared before him, its mouth filled with sharp teeth.
"Ah! Damn!"
Guan Shan was startled, stepping back several steps, taking in his surroundings.
Everything was wooden, with the hallway shaped like the inside of a coffin...
The floor was covered in white petal-like pieces, which, upon closer inspection, were actually white paper money! These paper pieces moved on their own, forming a whirlpool around Guan Shan, spinning rapidly. As they passed over the floor and walls, they left intricate scratches.
