With two days left in the three-day simulation trial, and with Qu Jian'er around, Sato Chihime didn't even have a chance to show her face, let alone redeem herself.

Night painted the sky with darkness, and the fog dissipated slightly, but it didn't seem to be receding normally.

It felt like danger was approaching.

They had no choice but to lay low for the time being.

He Qian had a strong premonition: "I have a feeling that something is wrong with this year's assessment."

The parents' dying wish was for the He family to regain its former glory and for their two daughters from their direct lineage to be found.

In her attempt to find a way to avert the downfall of the He family, she suffered a backlash that resulted in the loss of one of her eyes.

But it was just an eye, not a life.

This is enough to prove her talent for divination.

She told Qu Jian'er about her premonition.

I hope the other person doesn't just focus on eating.

Qu Jian'er raised an eyebrow: "You have a premonition of danger? Are you the legendary humanoid detection radar?"

She paused in her act of gnawing on the meat.

She was beaming with the joy of having found a treasure, completely oblivious to whether He Qian would be willing to follow her.

Black Pillar asked curiously, "Meow meow?"

He Qian sighed helplessly, "It's not that exaggerated. Anyway, do you think we should tell the people from the Special Affairs Bureau?"

Qu Jian'er squinted and looked around at the changing atmosphere: "If there really is a problem, we probably won't be able to contact the outside world now."

Even the Spirit Special Bureau probably couldn't have imagined that someone would infiltrate the assessment site and attempt to kill all the geniuses.

This caused the fall of a rising star in the field of metaphysics.

All for the sake of preserving the glory of their family.

His heart is hateful and deserves to be punished.

Because we lost the younger generation of geniuses, and there was no leader who truly made a difference.

The field of metaphysics will suffer a severe decline.

The future of metaphysics will prove the old saying: "A spark that gives up hope will willingly be covered by ice and snow."

He Qian tried to contact He Shen, but found that the signal could not be sent at all, as if it had been blocked.

That shielding power couldn't be achieved with simple instruments; it had to be mixed with magic.

He Qian frowned: "My younger brother works at the Lingte Bureau. He told me that the bureau usually places many informants at the assessment points every year. However, this has never happened before."

When she decided to join the Lingte Bureau.

I did my homework.

Knowing she didn't have time to study, she chose the most effective, yet also the dumbest, way to cheat and complete the written exam.

Because fortune tellers can only offer insights through divination, she was actually quite unsure about the mock exam.

So I bought a lot of things in the game.

He Qian shared some of the items she bought at the firm with Qu Jian'er.

Qu Jian'er remained silent.

He Qian explained, "These things may seem trivial, but they are all very useful and can be considered the nemesis of vengeful spirits."

She handed the keychain to Qu Jian'er and then tied the pendant to the black pillar's claw.

The pendant and keychain caught Qu Jian'er's eye, making her deeply aware of the power of rumors to spread like wildfire.

Qu Jian'er's lips twitched, and she asked, "Are many people buying this in real life?"

She couldn't bear to tell these people that her things only served as a deterrent.

It's fine to scare vengeful spirits in the game world, but it's highly unlikely that it will become the nemesis of vengeful spirits in the real world.

He Qian held a keychain in her hand: "I had to ask someone to help me buy these three. I don't know what dangers I'll encounter next. I hope no evil spirits will appear, and that the Special Affairs Bureau can discover the situation here as soon as possible and come to our aid."

As is widely known, low-level vengeful spirits are those with the shallowest obsessions and the weakest abilities.

Evil spirits are an upgraded version of vengeful spirits; evil spirits clad in blood are stronger than ordinary white-clad evil spirits.

One blood-stained evil spirit is equivalent to ten vengeful spirits, and one black-clad evil spirit is equivalent to a hundred blood-stained evil spirits.

A short while later.

When a certain evil spirit appears.

Qu Jian'er looked at He Qian with a quiet gaze.

It's as if they're implying the other person has a bad reputation.

The capable candidates hurriedly gathered together to resist, but compared to the evil spirit, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"How could an evil spirit appear in the simulation trial? Is the Spirit Special Bureau trying to wipe us out?"

"Something's not right, something's not right. This evil spirit is different from other evil spirits; it can teleport!"

"How could that be? The training grounds don't allow teleportation, precisely to greatly reduce the difficulty for us in killing evil spirits."

"What happened... Ah!!! He really tried to kill me!"

The assessment is not just about testing abilities.

The candidates also demonstrated courage and determination.

To stand out from the crowd of talented individuals and become number one, you must achieve results.

Encountering a blood-clad evil spirit is not scary, because the test takers know that these evil spirits are all fake.

Even if they are injured or die.

It will not affect the main body.

It's just that in severe cases it can cause shock.

But this rampaging evil spirit was different; every move it made was aimed at vital points, and its eyes were filled with only madness and killing intent.

As more and more test takers get injured.

Qu Jian'er stepped forward.

He Qian stopped them: "Don't go! That's an evil spirit, something even a three-star Taoist priest can't handle!"

Qu Jian'er had been stuck at the Qi Condensation stage for a long time. She needed to advance to the Qi Gathering stage, which required more than just restoring her strength.

Practice is also a part.

She had always wanted to practice.

I was just worried about not encountering any evil spirits.

She exuded a sense of duty and righteous indignation.

Qu Jian'er stood tall and imposing: "If I don't go, more and more people will get hurt."

She deliberately portrayed herself as a radiant figure, contrasting with the retreat of the crowd, and then she gradually approached the evil spirit.

They stood between the two sides.

From that moment on, more and more candidates got to know Qu Jian'er and were convinced of her abilities.
