“Next stop, Gotham City. Passengers disembarking, please gather your belongings and prepare to exit. Have a pleasant journey!”
Zhang Yaozu announced, his hands clasped over his lower abdomen.
Shi Tailang pinched his nose. “I admit, I’m the Joker! Why would I send them some stupid gift? Wouldn’t it be better to just give Xin Ge a gift?”
Fang Xin smiled. These people had all come with him, and in the future, within his authority, Fang Xin would definitely give them the greatest assistance.
After chatting for a while, Fang Xin once again fully immersed himself in training.
Fang Xin’s combat power was now much stronger than when he first entered Sky Shield Academy.
Fang Xin shifted his focus to his other talents. The various levels of his other talents were inconsistent, and Fang Xin planned to address this weakness.
In the following days, in addition to solidifying his foundation, Fang Xin would also take time to go out and complete missions. This way, when Old Master Ye promoted Fang Xin, no one would have anything to say.
Each day was busy and fulfilling.
It was the weekend again.
Fang Xin, as usual, left Sky Shield Academy to complete missions.
But as he walked, Fang Xin always felt like someone was following him. However, every time he looked back, everyone behind him seemed normal. Only Fang Xin, turning his head in surprise every now and then, appeared to be acting abnormally.
Diagonally behind Fang Xin’s seat sat a long-haired young man in a suit, looking at his computer, his fingers tapping on a projected keyboard, rapidly drafting business proposals.
At the back of his neck, a mass of blood-colored, viscous liquid slowly crawled out from his collar.
That mass of blood-colored viscous liquid was only the size of two coins placed side by side, yet it had an eye growing on it. The little thing, furtively hidden behind the long hair, peered through the gaps in the hair, watching Fang Xin’s direction from afar.
Fang Xin pretended to casually turn his head and look towards the long-haired young man. The mass of liquid immediately retracted into his collar.
“Damn it!” Fang Xin muttered to himself, sitting in his seat, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles, with a thorn in his back and a fishbone in his throat.
Fang Xin had observed the long-haired young man behind him several times out of the corner of his eye. He was just an ordinary Awakened with Level 3 combat power. With Fang Xin’s current strength, he could easily overpower the other party. Moreover, each time he turned to observe the long-haired young man, he couldn't perceive any threat from him.
Fang Xin was puzzled. This feeling was inexplicable, but he vaguely sensed that the gaze fixed on him was coming from the young man.
After arriving at his destination, Fang Xin, using his special identity, walked through the exclusive passage towards the exit.
His sensory network kept an eye on the young man at all times. The young man posed no threat to Fang Xin and simply took a taxi and left.
Fang Xin was puzzled, but he remained vigilant at all times, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
The second before the long-haired young man got into the taxi, the mass of viscous liquid that had emerged from his collar poked its head out, glanced in Fang Xin’s direction, then left the long-haired young man’s body. The small creature, not large in size, was not slow. It quickly attached itself to the side of a passerby’s shoe as it wriggled.
That eyeball kept staring at Fang Xin.
After several changes, it crawled into the pant leg of a bob-haired girl. Before long, it emerged from the girl’s collar again, like a parasite nestled among her hair, watching Fang Xin’s direction from afar.
Fang Xin sat in the restaurant and couldn't help but turn his head. That feeling of being watched emerged again.
His gaze shifted, looking at a bob-haired girl.
After taking a bite, Fang Xin pretended to casually look at the bob-haired girl.
This feeling of being watched was exactly the same as before.
But the previous long-haired young man had no problems. Now, this feeling of being watched was emanating from this bob-haired girl.
That proved one thing.
It wasn’t these two people staring at Fang Xin, but something attached to these two people that was watching Fang Xin.
The bob-haired girl and Fang Xin’s gazes met. Seemingly sensing Fang Xin’s gaze, the bob-haired girl tidied her hair.
She watched Fang Xin out of the corner of her eye.
Fang Xin ate his food, also glancing at the bob-haired girl out of the corner of his eye.
Before long, the bob-haired girl stood up and walked towards Fang Xin, pulling out her phone and placing it in front of him. “Stop looking, I don’t have a boyfriend. Just add my contact info. If we can really be together, I’ll let you look every day! Look to your heart’s content!”
“Sorry, no,” Fang Xin flatly refused.
The bob-haired girl froze for a moment, then awkwardly put away her phone, forcing a smile. “Fine, if you don’t want to, I didn’t really want to add your contact info anyway. Actually, I have a boyfriend. LOL, you’re really quite average. So funny. And you’re really pretentious!”
Fang Xin looked at the bob-haired girl. That feeling of being watched was still there.
This time, at close range, Fang Xin finally precisely located where that feeling of being watched was coming from.
Fang Xin slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the back of the bob-haired girl’s neck.
“First, let me apologize to you!” Fang Xin suddenly said.
The bob-haired girl cleared her throat, haughtily saying, “And then what?”
Fang Xin suddenly reached out and grabbed into the bob-haired girl’s collar.
The bob-haired girl shrieked, “You pervert, what are you doing?!”
Fang Xin missed on his first grab. The thing actually let out a sharp squeak and scurried around inside the bob-haired girl’s clothes.
The bob-haired girl immediately thrust her body forward, screaming, and reached back to grab her back.
Fang Xin grabbed again. After all, there was a difference between men and women, so Fang Xin could only grab through her clothes. This time, he indeed caught the mass of viscous liquid, but this grab was a bit too forceful. When Fang Xin pulled back, he clearly felt as if he had grabbed something very elastic inside her clothes.
The mass of viscous liquid seeped out from inside her clothes, plopped onto the ground, and quickly wriggled away on the floor.
The bob-haired girl screamed in fright and burrowed into Fang Xin’s arms. She finally understood that she had been mistaken and wronged Fang Xin just now, thinking he was staring at her. She couldn’t help but feel both startled and embarrassed.
Fang Xin pressed the bob-haired girl’s head, and casually loosened her clothes.
Then he heard a slap.
The bob-haired girl put her hand on her back, looked up at Fang Xin, and saw that Fang Xin’s gaze was still on the viscous mass, completely uninterested in her. She couldn't help but pout and mumble softly.
“Stupid straight man! Annoying straight man!”
The mass of viscous liquid crawled into someone’s pant leg. That person shrieked in surprise.
A few seconds later.
They saw something quickly wriggling under the skin at that person’s neck, finally settling on the person’s face.
Immediately after, below that person’s eyes, the skin wriggled and a slit opened, revealing a strange eye. Then, on the side of the face, a mouth appeared below that eye.
This scene startled many people, who began to scream, and the scene descended into chaos. The bob-haired girl burrowed directly into Fang Xin’s arms.
And the person who was possessed jumped around in fright, screaming.
“Get out! Get out of my body!”
Fang Xin pushed the bob-haired girl away and pulled out his identification.
“Ninth Division on official business! Surveillance off! No recording! All non-essential personnel, step back!”
The mouth that appeared on the side of that person’s face wriggled, forming a slightly deformed smile.
“Follow me! Someone wants to see you!”
