After hanging up the phone, Qi Yuan sat at his desk in the dormitory and opened the live streaming app.
The live streaming room showed that the host was offline.
The disappearance of Gou Baling once again proved the accuracy of Ji Jia's intuition, and investigating the case became secondary.
Would he be stupid not to use cheating tools?
Unfortunately...
"Intuition... it's not really intuition. After I became a ghost, I could choose to manifest as a spirit medium. The ability of a spirit medium allows me to predict and calculate things in the world, but it doesn't work well with superhumans and monsters."
The next day, Qi Yuan asked Ji Jia, who stumbled through her words.
Ji Jia lowered her head, worried about seeing disappointment in Qi Yuan's eyes.
She only mentioned intuition to avoid explaining too much. It was more difficult for her to talk to unfamiliar people than to lose her life.
Qi Yuan couldn't exactly be described as disappointed.
He knew that there was no way one could cheat without getting banned.
Gao Changze held his laptop and logged into the same live streaming room that Gou Baling had watched. It still showed that the stream was offline.
Upon hearing their conversation, he reassured Ji Jia, "Fortunately, although we don't know the principle behind it, at least we know that the live streaming room is involved in some trickery. If we continue to investigate, we'll eventually find out."
Yin Qingran rested her chin on her hand, her gaze unfocused. "Not necessarily. The authorities are conducting a strict investigation. If it were me, I would stay low for a while."
"You might be right," Qi Yuan said, scratching his head.
Gao Changze's head swelled with confusion.
"There's also a probability that things could escalate further and they would make a fortune before leaving. The patrol team told me that the number of recent cases has increased."
Qi Yuan's speculation was not baseless.
Yi Shi didn't need to mention things that had nothing to do with their case.
At first glance, this patrol officer seemed hot-tempered and leaked everything. But in reality, he wouldn't say a word about things he didn't want to say.
Being warned twice in a row not to act rashly, it was definitely not without reason.
Moreover, the higher-ups transferred an S-level superhuman and requested them to investigate a suspected high-level monster case. This in itself was very strange.
"It seems... you hit the mark!" Gao Changze stared dumbfounded at the computer screen.
Was he going crazy? What was this?
Qi Yuan noticed that his phone screen automatically lit up, displaying a live streaming room.
"...Today, I'm coming forward to expose something to everyone. Perhaps, after a few days, the huge waves I caused will disappear without a trace, but I still choose to speak up!"
"Because I believe that a person should have some convictions and ideals that are higher than our own lives!"
The person on the screen spoke confidently, without covering their face, standing boldly in front of the camera.
Whether forced to watch or watching voluntarily, people started typing in the comments section.
[What's going on? Why can't my phone open anything else?]
[Great, add me to the urgent list +1]
[So, what are you trying to say? I haven't finished my work yet!]
"Do you all think awakening superhuman abilities is difficult?"
"Well, let me tell you today, the only ones who find it difficult are ordinary people like us!"
"Everyone—"
"Has the chance to become a superhuman, but this chance has been suppressed by the patrol team and high-level superhumans."
As he spoke passionately, he clenched his fist and raised his arm, using provocative and enticing language to stimulate the audience.
"Before you dismiss it, think about it. Why would they risk their lives to protect us?"
"One or two individuals are heroes, people we admire. But are all superhumans heroes? If they were all heroes, then why do they form factions and exert their power in the city?"
"A-grade superhumans can live comfortably anywhere. Why should they sacrifice themselves for us ordinary people?"
"Why are there superhuman forces causing chaos everywhere in foreign countries, while our Dragon Country doesn't have any?"
"Have you ever thought about this?"
Qi Yuan noticed that the number of comments in the livestream was gradually decreasing. Even Geng Xiaogui and Maipian Ge stopped spamming the chat.
He knew it wasn't because fewer people were watching, but rather because they were being incited by the content of the livestream.
Due to the laws and regulations of Dragon Country, they didn't dare to post inappropriate comments.
"All of this is because if everyone awakens, they can't maintain their superior status and privileges anymore!"
"They are afraid, so they want to restrict us!"
"I could have been like them, arrogantly stepping on your heads, sucking your blood, and occasionally letting monsters disturb your peaceful lives, forcing you to seek my protection."
"But I have also suffered from such pain. How can I persecute others without any burden?"
"I don't ask you to worship me like a god, but I ask to have a clear conscience."
"Clang—"
Qi Yuan and the other two who were watching the livestream were startled by the sound, and they looked towards the source.
Yin Qingran kicked the table to the ground, her expression dark as if someone owed her millions.
The person on the screen continued speaking.
"...Whether you believe it or not, according to the tests conducted by several of our comrades, the probability of awakening superhuman abilities gradually increases the longer you stay in the fusion domain."
"So, the question is, how do we get into the fusion domain when it's controlled by the Patrol Team?"
"This question troubled me for a long time, until a few years ago when I discovered a fusion domain with special rules."
"By meditating and clearly visualizing the door on this map, and then using a strong intention to open the lock on the door, you can enter the special fusion domain."
The image was displayed in the center of the screen, showing a door.
The door was pitch-black with intricate patterns that resembled formations, and a lock hung in the center.
This was different from Gou Baling's words, but the procedure was similar.
Qi Yuan only glanced at it, but the image of the door was imprinted in his mind.
As long as he thought about it, it would appear vividly in his mind.
After finishing the conversation, the man on the screen closed his eyes and meditated, then disappeared from the camera.
The camera showed an empty space, but the number of viewers in the livestream didn't change.
"Can superhuman abilities really be awakened?"
"It doesn't hurt to try. He did it himself, so at least it proves it's not dangerous."
"Have you considered that he might be an invisible superhuman? What if he's deceiving you?"
"He's already a superhuman, what benefit does he gain from deceiving us?"
Qi Yuan saw that most of the viewers in the livestream shared the same attitude as the barrage comments.
This statement was similar to saying, "I'm a rich person, can't I deceive you out of your money?" But no one knew where the rich person's money came from.
Moreover, some had already started trying.
"I tried once, but the door wouldn't budge at all..."
"Is that true? Let me try too."
"Damn it, I've been thinking for a while and only managed to open a small crack."
After the livestream ended, their electronic devices returned to normal, and Qi Yuan hadn't had a chance to make the phone call in his hand.
"Oh my, quickly look at the news!"
Gao Changze exclaimed, raising his phone in his right hand to show them while pointing at the screen with his left hand.
"...There has been a collective suicide case at Shen City Central Shopping Plaza. The patrol team has immediately been dispatched for investigation... This is Shen City News reporting for you."
Scrolling down, there were a few small videos taken by passersby.
In one of the videos,
several people were holding banners and passionately pleading for something.
"I used to have a happy and fulfilling family, but everything came to a halt when a deranged superhuman took a liking to my wife..."
"My husband..."
"The day my brother left..."

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
