A familiar voice rang out, and Nan Zhu's hand trembled, almost knocking the edge of the zither. He looked in shock at the source of the voice, and it really was Shi Yin.

"Miss?" Nan Zhu's eyes lit up with surprise, but she quickly suppressed it. "What did you just say?"

“People of the same kind are very sensitive to each other’s aura, I mean in a physical sense.” Shi Yin walked over: “You can use your special ability if you want, as long as you don’t leave the rear area. I’ll go and apply to the higher-ups.”

"No, if you don't want me to use my powers, I don't have to. I'll just find a way out." Nan Zhu quickly pledged his loyalty: "If you don't want me to, I..."

“Since we’ve already started, let’s continue.” Shi Yin shook her head: “Once it starts, it can’t be stopped.”

"I'm sorry, Miss, I still don't know what my special ability is." Nan Zhu could only change the subject with a wry smile: "I seem to have some kind of feeling when I play the zither, but..."

"Don't you know? You're so smart." Shi Yin plucked the strings of her zither, the music was melodious, and it was clear that it was a rare and fine instrument: "Nan Zhu, those who possess supernatural abilities are not happy."

Nanzhu: "..."

"Play a tune," Shi Yin said calmly.

Nan Zhu hesitated for a moment before placing his hand on the strings. Because his special ability seemed to be related to this zither, he had been studying how to play it for the past few days.

I've learned four musical instruments, but I never paid attention to the guqin. I never expected to stumble upon one that had slipped through my fingers.

Fortunately, Nan Zhu has a strong learning ability. Even though the guqin is difficult, he has figured it out in the past few days. He has a good sense of music and played a piece slowly but smoothly from memory.

That sounds familiar; Shi Yin feels like she's heard it somewhere before.

However, Shi Yin roughly understood what Nan Zhu's special ability was, which was bad news.

Guan Nianshan's change of superpowers is a nerf, but fortunately Nan Zhu didn't have any highlights before, otherwise it would have been an epic nerf.

Shi Yin didn't say stop, so Nan Zhu played again and again. But Shi Yin reached out and suddenly struck the zither. Nan Zhu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but groan.

Nan Zhu immediately stopped playing the zither. Shi Yin tapped the strings twice more, but Nan Zhu no longer felt anything was wrong, as if the sudden pain he had just felt was just an illusion.

“A superpower that’s both useful and useless.” Shi Yin shook her head: “If you hadn’t used your superpower just now, I would have broken this zither.”

“…Sharing the damage?” Nan Zhu immediately understood: “But why don’t I have this feeling with other objects? And it seems that I can empathize with this zither.”

"Because your ability isn't about sharing damage, it's about resonance." Shi Yin plucked a string on her zither: "Do you know where the problem lies?"

Resonance requires empathy, emotion, and feeling; however, Nan Zhu (a specific astrological configuration) generally lacks this ability.

It is precisely because this guqin is different from Nanzhu's that Nanzhu can vaguely resonate with it; with other things, he probably wouldn't feel anything at all.

Another method is to forcibly enhance one's strength and then force a resonance with the target, but this is much less effective.

Nan Zhu pursed her lips, somewhat dejected.

Regardless of his past, he now genuinely wants to stay by Shi Yin's side and help her, but he has now discovered that having superpowers makes him no different from an ordinary person.

Ye Shaoheng is right. Nanzhu is arrogant, but so far, Nanzhu doesn't seem to have had a smooth journey.

"However, it can be used by you to detect the surrounding environment, so your efforts are in the right direction." Seeing Nan Zhu's dejection, Shi Yin rarely spoke up to comfort him: "Since you can resonate with the guqin, it also means that your perception can reach as far as the sound of the guqin can travel."

Although it is still inferior to those superpowers that can directly release perception and sense the surrounding environment.

So-called conceptual superpowers are just illusions; they can be incredibly powerful or incredibly weak at the same time.

For example, Nan Zhu's special ability.

Resonance can share damage, which means that when a person is attacked, Nanzhu can resonate with that person while resonating with another item, which is equivalent to transferring damage, or resonating the target's damage onto itself.

Furthermore, while resonating with the person, one can perceive all their states, which is very similar to mind reading. It might even be possible to transfer one's own supernatural energy to others for a stronger effect.

The above is Shi Yin's temporary insight after copying this superpower when Nan Zhu was playing the zither.

A fairly comprehensive bug.

The problem is that the Southern Candle is unusable.

Guan Nianshan's special ability is that if he uses it, he might kill himself before others do.

Nan Zhu is completely incompatible with his own special abilities.

“I’ve reviewed your resume and background. You are indeed a genius, yet you’ve chosen to remain mediocre.” Shi Yin met Nan Zhu’s eyes. “This will lead to a serious problem. Your choice of mediocrity allows you to surpass everyone around you effortlessly, which will essentially make you arrogant.”

"But you suppress your arrogance and present yourself in a friendly manner... How strange."

Meeting Shi Yin's eyes, Nan Zhu awkwardly looked away, unsure how to respond.

After saying that, Shi Yin stood up.

Her original intention was that she thought Nan Zhu was smart enough to find a way out with Ye Shaoheng. The two of them often bickered, and maybe Nan Zhu could enlighten Ye Shaoheng.

In retrospect, it seems that it's really too much to ask someone who hasn't even solved their own problems to help others.

I still don't understand Nan Zhu enough. Newcomers should observe for a while longer.

After thinking for a while, Shi Yin decided to go and check on Ye Shaoheng's situation.

It would be best if Ye Shaoheng could awaken the imprint, but awakening it at the moment of death would also achieve the goal... Oh well, it won't make a difference if he does it this time, let's see.

Shi Yin stood on the roof of a building, while Ye Shaoheng was riding his horse around the streets. Ever since his armor was upgraded to include a knight's horse, he had often ridden this horse around.

Mainly because he's handsome.

Shi Yin and his five knights don't look like knights at all. At most, Ishtar looks more like a dragon knight, while Ye Shaoheng looks the most like a genuine Western European knight.

After watching for a while, Shi Yin started to feel sleepy.

"What is this guy wandering around for? The way out is definitely not on the main street." Shi Yin yawned: "If he wants to break out of the birdcage, he must go towards the outer perimeter."

This kid is such an obedient brute. His brain is brand new and worth a hundred million, but he's got a brain that he's never used before.

"In your opinion, how should we get out?" A gentle voice rang out, unhurried and familiar.

Shi Yin paused for a moment, then turned around in surprise: "Nan Zhu? You're not continuing your practice?"

I thought Nanzhu would be depressed for a long time, or maybe he would keep practicing the zither, but he came looking for me so quickly?

However, it feels strange.

Shi Yin frowned; Nan Zhu was making her feel even more uncomfortable now.
