Qi Yuan, who had become the focus of everyone, was completely oblivious to the psychological activities of others.
He looked back and was blinded by the setting sun. The sunlight shone directly into his eyes, and that sour and refreshing feeling was really great.
He blinked, avoided the sunlight, and finally adapted to the environment. He finally saw what was happening around him.
Seeing the Spider Monster tens of meters away, Qi Yuan's scalp tingled and cold sweat oozed from his back.
What is the situation now?
Qi Yuan stiffly turned his neck and looked around.
The crowd had already scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only one person holding a mobile phone to film, and a group of uniformed duty officers surrounding the Spider Monster, blocking its way back.
Wait!!
In this case... the Spider Monster can only break through the encirclement and kill itself to escape!!!
Qi Yuan was on the verge of tears. He just wanted to buy some vegetables, did it have to be like this...
More than ten minutes ago—
"Little Yuan, the bok choy today is very fresh. Come take a look?"
The kind old lady sat on a small stool and beckoned to Qi Yuan.
As usual, Qi Yuan was buying vegetables to take home for his mother.
Ever since he awakened the supernatural ability of telepathy, he had taken the initiative to take on this task.
He hadn't told anyone about his abilities, for a simple reason.
This ability was useless. Ordinary people were wary of his ability to sense true thoughts, while telepathy was unable to read the minds of monsters and superhumans.
Telling others would not only bring no benefits, but also affect his future employment.
After activating telepathy for a while, he had a good grasp on the prices in the vegetable market.
The old lady in front of him liked to soak the bok choy in water to keep it looking fresh, but the taste of the bok choy bought back home was not very good.
Qi Yuan pretended to be silly and talked about something else: "I'm going to buy something else today."
Ignoring the other's gaze, he skilfully walked through the vegetable market and came to a small stall.
His younger brother had been eating snacks outside frequently recently before coming home. His mother was worried it was unhealthy for him and planned to make some delicious food to coax him before confiscating his snacks.
Also known as giving a sweet date before hitting with a stick.
The price fluctuation of seafood was greater than that of bok choy. He turned on his abilities to get the best price, before satisfyingly turning off his abilities.
No one could rip him off even a penny!!
Unless he was a superhuman...
Carrying fresh shrimp, he turned around to buy bok choy. He didn't get to buy bok choy, but encountered this kind of thing instead.
Just as he was at a loss, a thought came to him. It turned out that he had subconsciously activated his abilities, although he didn't know why he could hear the monster's thoughts, it only took him half a second to put it aside.
"The golden-eyed human in front looks very strong. Otherwise, it's better to go squeeze that weakling from earlier."
This perception came from the Spider Monster in front of him. Qi Yuan thought about it briefly and understood the origin of the golden eyes.
The color of his irises was light, and when sunlight shone directly on them, they looked golden.
He had received similar compliments from different people before.
"Why hasn't the expert made a move yet?"
The anxious young duty officer in the corner unconsciously complained in his heart, and his thoughts were captured by Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan glanced to the side, and they really were members of the enforcement team. He could also read the thoughts of superhumans.
Just as he was thinking this, the thoughts of a group of duty officers popped up, noisy enough to give him a headache.
Thanks to his experience in haggling over vegetable prices many times, he quickly filtered out the thoughts of irrelevant personnel, leaving only the Spider Monster in front of him.
The Spider Monster took a few steps back with its eight legs unconsciously under his golden-eyed stare.
"What an aura, those golden eyes, must be no ordinary expert!"
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then a unexpected ecstasy.
As long as it doesn't attack him, everything can be discussed.
"Why aren't you talking? Is he planning to make a move directly? Damn it, what ability are the golden eyes related to?"
How would I know what to say?
Qi Yuan was drenched in cold sweat. He didn't want to fight, he just wanted to stall for time.
His brain was usually full of frivolous words, but when something really happened, his mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything to say.
Come on, think of someone strong from daily life that I can mimic...
"You are truly the worst batch of... monsters I have taught."
After blurting it out, Qi Yuan realized something was wrong. He reluctantly swallowed the word "students" and changed it to "monsters".
Qi Yuan felt half discouraged. He felt that he had overturned the car as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, the Spider Monster was even more panicked than him. Its pair of human-like eyes that had been closed all this while slowly opened.
When these eyes were closed, they looked like human eyes, but when opened, one eye had multiple pupils, creepy beyond compare.
"The worst batch! He has killed many monsters stronger than himself!!!"
Hiss, this works too?
Qi Yuan was shocked. He started racking his brains to recall his head teacher's words.
He adjusted his angle to bask in the sunlight to keep the golden eye buff active.
"Don't think I can't see your little tricks just because you're doing them underneath."
The Spider Monster shuddered and trembled, tightly closing its creepy human eyes.
"It must be a warning. A warning that if I make any more tricks he will kill me. Too terrifying... How could I have had such naive thoughts earlier? I actually thought of briefly breaking through my limits by surprise and catching him unprepared. What was I thinking?"
"Hmph, it seems you think you have gained absolute advantage, but I'm not that easy to bully either."
The Spider Monster sneered coldly: "Look around, have you noticed the trap I laid? You can't escape."
As the Spider Monster finished speaking, Xue Team Leader and the duty officers immediately became vigilant and scanned the surroundings.
Spiders are good at spinning webs and catching prey.
Even though it was a monster, it would still have such instincts.
But after looking around, nothing was found. The uneasiness and panic of the duty officers reached its peak.
The deepest fear comes from the unknown.
At this moment, the Spider Monster also felt the fear of the duty officers.
This young man was too strong.
It had originally meant to boast to buy time for itself to think of a way to escape. Inspiration struck and it thought of tricking the golden-eyed human.
It didn't expect Qi Yuan to remain unmoved and see through its act with one look.
"Terrifying, so terrifying!!"
Qi Yuan resisted the urge to cover his face as he read the Spider Monster's thoughts.
Why don't you think carefully about how to phrase it in your mind?
If you had thought it through properly, how could I have let you escape?
He resented the monster's stupidity, and felt the same as a teacher scolding an underperforming student.
"Can't even escape properly, thinking of nothing but tricks. Are you trying to escape for my sake?"
The duty officers reacted immediately to the Spider Monster's true intentions after Qi Yuan said this.
And they shared the same feeling as the Spider Monster - this expert had too weird a taste.
Unfortunately, they could only complain in their hearts, with no intention of saving the little spider at all.
Meddling with the expert's fun, were they looking to die?
While the duty officers on site and Zhou Hai could hold themselves back from speaking, the audience in the livestream room were unbridled due to the anonymity of the internet.

【Nice, first time seeing someone toying with a monster】

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
