Gu Qing Shan circled around the warp tower, constantly moving around it.
He began to observe the spatial runes on the walls.
Now, as soon as he saw each rune, he would immediately understand the meaning and usage of the rune.
— — as well as how to create and repair these runes.
By the time he finished memorizing all the spatial runes, it was already late at night.
"There shouldn't be any problems now"
Gu Qing Shan muttered, then turned to the other two.
Omaki was focused on writing something.
Crow's sleeping bag was sealed, completely motionless, most likely asleep.
Gu Qing Shan walked over and patted the sleeping bag.
"What is it?" Crow's voice resounded from inside the sleeping bag.
"There's something" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The sleeping bag opened.
Crow sat up and cautiously asked: "Did you notice something?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to resolve your issue" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Hah, I already told you, when I went through a test in Void City, I didn't find any abilities related to the Spirit of Speech, or for example — — -"
Crow paused for a bit, then continued: "I said that 900 worlds are about to fall from the sky and directly destroy the entire Gloom Galaxy, and that's about to happen!"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him, then released her inner sight to observe the wilderness and the stars outside.
Nothing happened.
Crow shrugged: "I've tried this countless times, but the result is that what I say doesn't always come true. However, there are some exceptions, for example, during combat missions, where we would inevitably face various difficult situations — — in truth, as long as anyone is willing to assume the worst-case scenario, they would find themselves in the same situation as me"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then pondered: "Things that can turn out to be bad will always turn out to be bad … if you're worried about something happening, then it's very likely that it will happen …"
Crow slapped his thigh and said: "That's right, as Hitmen of our level, the missions we take part in are always the most dangerous of all. If anyone else were to do what I did, as long as they paid even the slightest bit of attention to their surroundings, they would naturally have the same concerns as me, and these concerns would always come from their judgement of the situation, which would eventually prove to be true"
"So you don't think it's your problem?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Crow asked in return: "If it's really my problem — — I just said that 900 worlds were about to crash into the Gloom Galaxy, did that happen?"
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight continued to extend outwards, observing the night sky.
Nothing had happened.
Omaki's voice rang out.
"You're right. There is indeed such a possibility. It's because things are going to develop that way. You're just analyzing it in advance."
He walked to the side of the two of them and continued: "But we have a colleague in the Void Library who once did a research report on misfortune. He did a statistical analysis on the missions of over 300 Legend rankers in the entire Void City for the past 10 years and found that you were the unluckiest of them all, having encountered 791 more misfortune than the person in second place"
Crow was stunned.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
There was a sudden silence.
Omaki said apologetically: "I'm sorry, but we're a scientific research institute, so everything is based on data"
"But I've done a total of 63 different tests, none of them showed that I've been cursed, nor did I have the corresponding ability!" Crow jumped up and shouted.
Gu Qing Shan scowled: "Is there really no way to find out what's going on with him?"
"At least, not even Void City's public testing institutions" Omaki pridefully replied.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered a bit.
Crow sighed, appearing a bit lonely.
"Fine, regardless of what ability it is, I don't want to know, I never want to know!" he turned around and faced the wall.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him, then at Omaki.
Omaki shrugged and made an apologetic gesture.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
A few moments later.
He stepped forward, patted Crow's shoulder, and asked: "Do you know — — what's my most powerful ability?"
Crow didn't turn around, but was intrigued and asked: "What is it?"
Omaki also looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "My most powerful ability, at first, was dancing with my butt"
"Huh? Huh? "Crow looked at him doubtfully.
— — -this fiend.
Dancing with my butt?
Just imagining it shows how shameful that is.
How could this Fear Fiend do something so shameful?
Gu Qing Shan continued: "That's right, I couldn't do anything about it, but I didn't give up on this ability. Instead, I gave up on my dignity and continued to train myself"
"And then you got a girl?" Crow asked.
"No, I got better at dancing, then did a lot of things that others couldn't" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He took out a bottle of liquor, gave it to her, and continued: "Crow, you're very impressive, but you instinctively avoided this ability, I don't think that's necessary"
"We should learn more about this ability, after all, there's no such thing as a good or bad ability, the most important thing is how you use it"
Crow received the bottle, took a sip, and muttered: "I can't think of any other way to examine it right now"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze turned to Omaki: "You're both researchers and collectors of infinite worlds' knowledge, so I'm guessing that your examination ability wouldn't be any weaker than the public examination organizations of Void City — — - or perhaps you're not as good as them?"
"How could we not be better than them — — we might be discreet, but we're the true authorities!" Omaki shouted.
He looked at the two of them, then took out a metal-covered book from his chest pocket.
His expression turned serious as he spoke in a low voice: "In consideration of how you saved me, I'm willing to spend my own research points to activate this Grand Library Search General Outline"
"Is this book very valuable?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Omaki replied: "The Void Grand Library Search General Outline is the Void Library's peerless treasure of knowledge, a collection of all known top-notch knowledge. Only high-ranking members of the Void Library have the chance to use it, and it's rarely used on outsiders, because we ourselves have countless problems waiting to be researched …"
"Thank you, if you can really find out about my ability, I'll be eternally grateful. If you ever need to kill someone in the future, please come find me directly. Even if it's your curator, I'll bring his head here for you" Crow said with a serious expression.
Omaki nodded, then appeared excited: "Your ability must be very unique, otherwise, it would've been discovered long ago. This is an extremely rare case, and my research points are only just enough to activate a high-level search. How about I conduct a thorough research on it, perhaps I might be able to make some shocking academic discoveries"
"A thorough research?" Crow asked.
"Indeed, I might need samples of your blood, hair, urine, and other liquids for further research" Omaki rubbed his hands and couldn't wait any longer.
Crow: "…"
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
Crow shrugged: "Due to your passion for research, I've decided to retract my intention of helping you kill someone"
Gu Qing Shan patted Crow's shoulder: "Come, it's such a good chance, we can all rest assured after we've investigated it thoroughly"
Crow nodded.
"Put your hand on the book, I'm going to initiate a search. First, we need to find out what kind of method can be used to manifest your ability's form" Omaki said.
"What's a manifestation?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It's a characteristic that we can recognize" Omaki replied.
Crow then put his hand on the metal-covered book.
Omaki held the bottom of the book in his hand and quickly read: "Target: Avian race, Hitman, Crow"
[Researcher Omaki, expend all points to activate a high-level search to find a way to manifest the manifestation of this target's ability]
The book glowed.
Bam!
A dull thud.
Both Omaki and Crow's hands were knocked away at the same time.
The metal-covered book opened, flipped through the pages until three pages flew out and hovered in the air.
Omaki glanced at the three pages and dejectedly said: "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! Hah, fine, seems like there really isn't any way to find out your ability "
"Why not? Aren't there three ways here?"
Crow unwillingly pointed at the three pages in front of him.
Omaki smiled bitterly, then replied: "No one can grasp these three methods"
Crow froze, then fell silent.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Crow's dejected expression, then at the three pages — — - only to see that they were filled with words that he didn't recognize.
This was most likely a unique language within the Void Library that only their own people could understand.
"What are the three methods?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Omaki sighed, then replied: "It's fine to tell you, because none of these methods can be implemented"
[The first method: The Angel of Condemnation of the Inner Plane has the ultimate Card examination method, able to manifest a person's ability on the Card UI to examine them]
[The second method: The four Pillar Gods of the void can use their personal artifacts to obtain the ability of living beings, but the specific method is unknown]
[The third method: The Eternal Abyss' ally can use the Abyss' covenant item to request the will of the Abyss to descend and help examine this ability]
[The Inner Plane has already been destroyed, the four Pillar Gods of the void are nowhere to be found, and the Eternal Abyss has never had an ally, so none of these three methods can be implemented]
Following Omaki's explanation, Crow became more and more dejected.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Wait a minute.
These three methods …
I think I can do any of them.
But the Eternal Abyss is currently at war with the Wraith realm, so trying to communicate with it right now isn't a good idea.
The identity of the four Pillar Gods of the void should be kept a secret by the Awaitings of the [Order] side, so it's best not to expose it.
Then there's only — — -
Gu Qing Shan pulled up his Card UI.
Following his thought regarding the ability examination, a line of text quickly appeared on the UI:
[Cherub of Condemnation, would you like to examine a living being's ability?]
"I need to" Gu Qing Shan replied.
