The sun set, the streetlights came on, and the night had arrived.
"Should we give up?" Liu Wang looked at Qi Cheng, who was pacing in place with an anxious expression, not understanding his behavior.
After they decided to go downstairs and search for a while on the rooftop of the residential building, more than an hour had passed. During this time, they found the traces of the Taiji cat several times but lost them again. It was as if the cat was deliberately playing tricks on them.
Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, Lei Ting and Liu Wang no longer planned to continue the meaningless carpet search, especially Liu Wang.
Don't think that the use of superpowers is unlimited. Just like the supernatural abilities in many novels, superpowers also consume something.
As for why it is "something", it is because the scientific community has not really figured out what superpowers consume. All they know is that once a superpower user overuses their ability, they will first feel dizzy, then lose their strength all over their body, lose their five senses, and finally faint completely.
After a long negotiation, the scientists finally decided to temporarily call the thing consumed by using superpowers "spiritual power".
And this "temporary" has lasted for thirty years.
Now, Liu Wang felt a bit dizzy in his head, which was a sign of insufficient "spiritual power". He needed to stop using his superpower immediately and have a good sleep to regain his spirit.
"But... ugh!" Qi Cheng wanted to persuade Lei Ting and Liu Wang again, but he knew that without a suitable reason, he couldn't convince them.
At this moment, his premonition in his heart became even stronger, and a sense of unease spread. It was as if something big was about to happen at any moment.
There was no other way. In order to persuade them to stay, Qi Cheng gritted his teeth and decided to confess, "You might not believe it, but I've always had a premonition in my heart that something big is about to happen. Although I don't know what it is, I know it's definitely not a good thing! So! We must find the 'Soul Devourer' quickly!"
After saying that, Qi Cheng originally thought that the two of them would laugh at his statement, but after hearing it, they fell into silence.
Seeing the two of them like this, Qi Cheng knew there was hope. Just as he was about to take advantage of the situation, Lei Ting spoke first, "Qi Cheng, leaving aside the authenticity of your premonition, let's assume that your premonition is right. If we just let it go, it will come true, and something bad will happen. But why are you so sure that this bad thing must be caused by that supernatural cat? Why couldn't it be someone else?"
After listening to Lei Ting's words, Qi Cheng wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say and just froze there.
Because when he thought about it carefully, he found that Lei Ting was probably right. He seemed to have been preconceived. Just because this matter was caused by the "Soul Devourer" today, when he had a bad premonition later, he subconsciously thought it was brought about by the "Soul Devourer".
Thinking more carefully, he realized that this premonition didn't appear at the beginning. It was probably one or two hours ago. What was he doing at that time?
At this time, after a short rest, Liu Wang's dizziness was slightly relieved, and he no longer felt so uncomfortable.
He shook his head and inadvertently looked at the residential building they had been to before. Then he vaguely saw someone standing behind the fence on the rooftop. Liu Wang squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He roughly saw who it was, then pointed at that position and said, "Is that Wang Yue standing there?"
"What?" Lei Ting looked in the direction Liu Wang pointed. He couldn't see anything clearly, only vaguely seeing a figure on the rooftop.
"How can you see it clearly?" Lei Ting asked in doubt.
"The 'Peeping' ability can strengthen the human body. Although it can't directly enhance the body, it can improve the body's resistance and immunity, making it less likely to get sick. It can also restore a person's five senses to their peak state. Unless it's an injury caused by external force like Sister Yun, for other less serious five-sense diseases, once a superpower user becomes a 'Peeping' user, they can be cured immediately." Liu Wang explained and added, "My eyesight has returned to its peak state, probably around 2.0. So I can barely see the person standing on the rooftop clearly."
"Then why are you asking me? I don't have the 'Peeping' ability." Lei Ting complained.
"The rooftop?" Qi Cheng was interrupted from his thoughts by the conversation between Lei Ting and Liu Wang.
He looked up and could clearly see someone on the rooftop of the residential building. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and vaguely saw that it was indeed Wang Yue.
"I can see it clearly too... And my eyesight suddenly got better one night a few months ago. My hearing seems to have improved too. I haven't been sick for a long time, and I haven't even had a blocked nose... Could it be that my current realm is the 'Peeping' realm? Just like Liu Wang? Higher than Lei Ting?" Qi Cheng thought to himself. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly remembered when he had that premonition.
It was during the time when he had met Wang Yue, just went downstairs, and was about to continue looking for the "Soul Devourer"!
This proved that the one causing his ominous premonition was not the Taiji cat "Soul Devourer", but Wang Yue, the "Mouse"!
"Not good!" After figuring this out, Qi Cheng immediately shouted.
Almost at the same time, Lin Yuexiang, who had been observing secretly two hundred meters away, suddenly changed his expression, turned his head sharply to look at the rooftop of the residential building, and then, regardless of everything, leaped into the air and flew towards that direction as fast as he could.
Just as Lin Yuexiang took off and Qi Cheng shouted "Not good", Wang Yue, who had been standing behind the fence on the rooftop, somehow flipped over the fence and fell freely with his head facing down.
"Whoosh!" A figure flew over the heads of Lei Ting and the other two and rushed towards the falling Wang Yue at an extremely fast speed.
Only then did Liu Wang, whose attention had been attracted by Qi Cheng's shout, realize that Wang Yue had fallen off the building. Without caring about anything else, he immediately followed his team leader. One was in the air and the other was on the ground, both rushing over.
Behind Liu Wang was Lei Ting. Although he couldn't see the specific situation on the residential building clearly, he could at least see a black figure jumping off the top floor. From the words of the former, he knew that that black figure was Wang Yue! And that figure rushing over from the sky, he also knew, was definitely the team leader who was eager to save people and didn't care about exposing himself.
Lei Ting and Liu Wang all rushed out, while Qi Cheng still stood there, breathing heavily, his eyes wide open, and his arms trembling.
"Why is it so fast? Why is it so fast!" Qi Cheng whispered these two sentences in a voice that only he could hear, then raised his head and let out a loud "ah" and chased after them.
