God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

[🎉 Shoutout to Victor & Hunter for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

After leaving the management bureau, Qin Siyang made a detour to the warehouse where Qian Wenzhao's nephew was being held.

He opened the door and looked at the skinny young man, who was tied up securely from head to toe. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He had been a little worried that this person might have died in the warehouse, making it hard to explain to Qian Wenzhao.

"Mmff? Mmm!"

The skinny young man had his eyes covered and did not know that the visitor was Qin Siyang. His mouth was stuffed with a rag, preventing him from making any loud noises.

Qin Siyang walked up to him, removed the blindfold, and took out the rag from his mouth.

"Your uncle's call."

With that, he placed the phone next to the skinny young man's ear.

"Uncle! Uncle! It's me!", The skinny young man had been starved for two days, yet when he heard Qian Wenzhao's voice, he still let out a strong and desperate plea for help.

Qin Siyang inwardly sighed. Sequence ability users really did have much stronger bodies than ordinary people.

"Uncle, what did you say? Give him the phone? Give him the stuff in my backpack too? But my sequence potion is in there! Uncle, you… Yes, yes, I understand."

The once agitated skinny young man instantly deflated like a frostbitten eggplant, wilting completely and losing all will to resist.

On the other end of the line, Qian Wenzhao's furious scolding could be heard.

After silently listening to Qian Wenzhao curse for a few minutes, the skinny young man finally turned to Qin Siyang and said, "Uncle wants to talk to you."

"Hello, Section Chief Qian."

"It's fine, he's not hurt. Just let him go."

"No problem, see you, Section Chief Qian."

"Mm."

Qin Siyang hung up the call and cut the ropes binding the skinny young man.

Seeing the young man's fingers twitch slightly, Qin Siyang gave a friendly warning, "You'd better not use your [Theft] skill to grab anything from my pockets. Your uncle should've told you—don't make things more complicated."

"If you cause any more trouble, you'll have to pay an extra price to settle it. Got it?"

Hearing Qin Siyang's words, the skinny young man clenched his teeth and lowered his head, saying nothing.

After confirming that the young man could move freely, Qin Siyang turned and left.

He did not bother with any farewell exchanges. This kind of fool—just looking at him felt unlucky. Best to avoid him altogether.

Qin Siyang walked in the direction of home, only to remember upon reaching his doorstep that his house had burned down. Right now, his residence status was [Wanderer].

Helpless, he returned to the warehouse next to Wang Defa's internet café.

This time, Wang Defa was sitting at the bar counter. He didn't even bother getting up. He simply gave Qin Siyang a resigned nod and watched as he disappeared into the warehouse.

Wang Defa pursed his lips and muttered, "That's my warehouse!"

After entering the warehouse, Qin Siyang immediately opened Godslayer Camp, logged into his account, and changed his password.

Next, he entered the Sequence Ability User Information section and browsed through the records.

"Director of Education for District 14121, Zhou Xing… This should be Zhou Yang's uncle. He awakened the sequence… [Soft Body]?"

Qin Siyang was puzzled, "What kind of sequence is this? Never heard of it."

He searched for more information.

"Skill [Soft Body], allows the body to become soft for one minute."

"What kind of garbage sequence is this… No wonder that even though he awakened a sequence, his nephew Zhou Yang still didn't receive much preferential treatment from the education bureau. Turns out he's just a useless sequence ability user."

People who awakened sequence abilities at the edge of the safe zone were often like Zhou Xing—possessing useless sequences.

However, since sequence abilities enhanced physical fitness, Zhou Xing's strength was still far beyond that of ordinary people. So he could at least enjoy a little preferential treatment.

Qin Siyang continued checking the information of other people he knew.

"Police Bureau Level-2 Officer, Roylena, Sequence [Fragrance Seeker]. As expected, she forged her sequence."

"14121 District Management Bureau Section Chief, Qian Wenzhao, Sequence [Mimicry], Skill [Liquefaction], allows the body to dissolve into water for ten minutes."

"This [Water Source] sequence… seems kind of interesting. But unfortunately, the information panel here only displays Level 1 sequence skills. Even after searching the forums, I couldn't find anything about other level skills of [Mimicry]. It's quite mysterious."

Qian Wenzhao's sequence was relatively rare, and Qin Siyang couldn't find many related posts. This sequence was likely a major factor in Qian Wenzhao being able to become a section chief.

Even though management bureau officials didn't need to go outside the safe zone to hunt gods, a section chief with a [Mimicry] sequence certainly sounded more impressive than one with a [Soft Body] sequence.

Next, Qin Siyang looked up Olov's sequence.

"14121 District Police Bureau Level-1 Detective (transferred out six months ago), Olov, Sequence… [Scales], Skill [Balance]."

This was the first time Qin Siyang had seen the [Scales] sequence.

He searched through Godslayer Camp for half a day but couldn't find any information.

All he could see were a few exclusive chat groups left behind by other users of the [Scales] sequence.

Without hesitation, Qin Siyang registered a chat account, intending to infiltrate the [Scales] group and gather intel—at the very least, he needed to understand Olov's skills.

However, when he looked up the group number, he was immediately discouraged by the group name.

[Changdong Safe Zone Management Bureau, Police Bureau, and Court Personnel Discussion Group]

After some thought, Qin Siyang realized that the computer he was using had a completely hidden network login address, so there was nothing to be afraid of. He could join, check the group's files, and then leave—no one would know who he was.

He clicked the "Join Group" button, but another prompt appeared:

[Verification Question: Please enter your management bureau ID, police bureau ID, or court ID?]

Qin Siyang shook his head and had no choice but to give up.

"Looks like the [Scales] sequence is exclusive to government personnel."

Olov's presence loomed over Qin Siyang like a dark cloud, casting a heavy weight on his mind.

Still, there was no point in dwelling on it. If he wanted to receive sequence-user-exclusive education at a university, he had to register his sequence identity with the management bureau within six months. Facing Olov was probably inevitable.

"Let's leave it for now. Today isn't over yet—no need to worry about tomorrow's problems just yet."

He deleted his browsing history, then opened a few private websites, skimmed through them for a bit, and left behind dozens of browsing records before lying back down, ready to sleep.

"Haven't showered in two days. Tomorrow, when I go to school, I should sneak into the restroom when no one's around and rinse off."

"But if the school inspectors catch me, they'll probably give me another lecture about neglecting my studies and skipping class just to take a shower."

Lying on the ground, staring at the dusty warehouse ceiling, Qin Siyang thought about his plans for tomorrow.

"According to what I found on Godslayer Camp, if a student awakens a sequence ability, the management bureau will notify their school to ensure they don't miss the post-exam sequence ability assessment."

"So, my dear principal should already know that I've awakened a sequence by now."

"If that's the case… tomorrow, I might be able to do whatever I want?"
