Online: I Can See Health Bars

Fang Yu furrowed his brows, not sure if it was because he had been hunting demons everyday in the game, but he became more sensitive to his surroundings.

The most intense sense of incongruity from the driver came when he reached into his pocket.

"Driver, sir?"

Fang Yu voiced his confusion.

But he saw the driver, with his back towards him, silently reaching deeper into his suit pocket.

For some reason, at that moment, an inexplicable tension rose in Fang Yu's heart.

Tap, tap, tap.

Just then, a series of footsteps approached from ahead, growing louder.

It seemed as though these footsteps suddenly disturbed some kind of balance. The driver turned around, pulled his hand out of his pocket, and showed it to Fang Yu.

It was a pack of cigarettes.

Hua brand.

The driver grinned and pointed to the no-smoking sign on the bathroom wall.

"I was about to light one up, but then I saw that sign and didn't take it out. Do you want one, Mr. Fang? We can go outside to smoke."

So it was just a cigarette...

Fang Yu felt foolish and embarrassed about his earlier tension.

Game addiction really makes one jumpy about everything.

Fang Yu gave the driver an awkward smile and waved his hand.

"No need, I don't smoke. Driver, sir, it's fine, I'll go up and keep Sister Jin company now."

The driver nodded with a smile.

"Go on, go ahead."

Tap, tap, tap.

When Fang Yu left, a few people just happened to enter the bathroom, passing by Fang Yu.

The expression on the driver's face slowly changed from a smile to a cold indifference as Fang Yu left.

The passersby had gone into the bathroom.

The driver casually threw the pack of cigarettes into the trash bin.

Then, he put his hand back into his pocket.

When he took it out again, he held a piece of paper.

Parchment.

...

"The most terrifying thing about demons isn't their bizarre bloodline abilities, but... disguise!"

"Devouring humans, impersonating humans, blending in with humans, becoming an unguardable presence!"

Qi Xiaojin furrowed her brows.

She had mostly dealt with the clones of the Sheepskin Demon.

But its main body, its whereabouts were still unknown.

"That thing, it's getting stronger! Or rather... it's gradually regaining its power!"

Qi Xiaojin had never seen a Sheepskin Demon in her previous life, but undoubtedly, if it were in the Seeking Demon World, its strength would not be as weak as it currently was.

Having crossed into the real world, its powers were reduced, and it was likely currently in a phase of rapidly regaining strength.

But it had been forced to use clones to save itself due to her encirclement, which had delayed the recovery of its power.

"The last time I tracked its presence, it was at the edge of the city. Looks like it headed to East Gate City next door."

In Jiangnan City, with her guarding it, the Sheepskin Demon couldn't stir much trouble and smartly fled somewhere else to avoid trouble.

Next was the Dead Silence Spirit.

That one was much more troublesome than the Sheepskin Demon, but luckily, it seemed to have stopped expanding and stabilized in one area.

It probably absorbed enough energy and was likely to move to the next realm.

This was like a race against time, to see who could advance to a higher realm faster and thereby take down the other!

The worsening and uncontrollable situation made Qi Xiaojin's expression gravely serious.

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Sister Jin."

Her expression softened.

Qi Xiaojin turned around, smiling.

"Back already? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, I'm fine. Maybe I just woke up too early and didn't sleep well."

Observing Fang Yu waving his hands, Qi Xiaojin's gaze softened.

Unlike his previous life, an existence tough as steel, he... was still very fragile now, merely a human, needing her protection.

"Let's head back first. Sister's condition isn't something that can improve in a short while."

Sighing, Qi Xiaojin took the lead to leave.

Fang Yu glanced at the busy doctors in the ward and followed Sister Jin.

"The Guoda Shopping Mall, due to management issues, is closed for rectification and prohibits anyone from entering."

"Rumors online say the Guoda Shopping Mall has bad Feng Shui. Several incidents of death and injury occurred over a few days, and its CEO is now hiring a Feng Shui master with an annual salary of millions to improve the situation."

"Some people who entered the Guoda Shopping Mall a few days ago fell ill and never recovered. Rumors say the mall was secretly researching a mysterious virus! It has now been discovered by the authorities and closed for rectification."

The hospital's TV news was broadcasting the recent major news.

Mainly regarding what happened at the Guoda Shopping Mall.

Fang Yu had some impression of that place, but as a homebody, he didn't often go to malls, so he just had a slight recollection, being quite far from their neighborhood.

Again with the murderers on the street, car accidents, and mysterious viruses, Jiangnan City wasn't very peaceful lately.

Fang Yu sighed, thinking that to live a long life, he still needed to stay home as a homebody.

Upon reaching the ground floor, the driver had already gotten the news and parked the car at the entrance, waiting.

Fang Yu, following Sister Jin towards the car, couldn't help but look towards the driver in the driving seat.

The driver, wearing sunglasses, was expressionless, seemingly no different from usual.

Noticing Fang Yu's gaze, he even nodded slightly at Fang Yu.

As Fang Yu continued to follow Sister Jin, he felt a sense of resistance in his heart.

Step.

Suddenly, Fang Yu stopped in his tracks.

"Sister Jin, I remember my school is nearby, and not far. How about you join me for a walk there? I'd like to visit my alma mater."

Qi Xiaojin, visibly surprised, looked at the also puzzled driver, then nodded slightly.

"Uncle Ye will wait for us here."

Under the driver's watchful eye, they changed direction and left.
