However, in some places, this extraordinary sensory ability can become a drawback.
For example, the mundane worldly atmosphere, or the abyss.
“Let’s go,” Yang Qinglan said. “Let’s catch up and bring back the long days of confidence, pride, self-awareness, self-reflection, self-encouragement, and self-improvement.”
"Okay!" Li Qianxia nodded.
Yaochi swept her long hair, which reached her ankles, behind her head, and nimbly leaped into the icy basket, saying as she did so:
"He's really acting like a child this time. I'm going to make fun of him later!"
The two-headed black flame dragon rose from the ground, and everyone looked up at the abyss above, opening their long-closed eyes.
It's snowing.
The swirling snowflakes formed characters in the firelight of the two-headed black flame dragon's four eyes.

Snowflakes fell one by one, like the static on an old-fashioned black and white television.
[Mission Objective: Bring Li Changzhou back]
[Note: As Christie wrote in *Death on the Nile*, "How absurd it is that people often say that youth is the happiest time of life—it is the most vulnerable time of life." But ten-year-old Li Changzhou was anything but vulnerable!]
The surrounding darkness was so thick it was like liquid.
"What does this mean?" Yaochi asked. "Will he attack us?"
“No.” Li Qianxia shook her head. “But my brother might not want to go back to being twenty years old psychologically. At ten, he was very extreme and arrogant, and he saw the self-reflection of being twenty as a sign of weakness.”
The black flame dragon climbed up the cliff face.
After a moment of silence, Yang Qinglan said, "Is it because of your parents?"
"...That's part of the reason. My brother has always looked down on them since we were little. Those two were already scoundrels when we were very young."
"So how did your brother get better later?" Yaochi asked.
"Don't make it sound like my brother is sick," Li Qianxia retorted, her tone revealing her dissatisfaction.
Yaochi quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, it just slipped out."
This was the first time in her life she had ever been so eager to explain something.
"Hmm." Li Qianxia responded and continued, "It's probably because of my grandparents. When my grandmother died, she told me to take good care of my brother; when my grandfather died, he told my brother to take good care of me."
"So," Yang Qinglan said, "your brother's extreme personality since childhood wasn't actually directly related to family ties; his parents were just a contributing factor?"
"There is a direct impact. If it weren't for my grandparents and me, my brother would look no different from a normal person on the outside, but his heart would definitely be the same as when he was ten years old. But because of my grandparents and me, my brother has become the way he is now."
Yang Qinglan nodded thoughtfully.
Si looked at them and said, "I think what we should be discussing now is how to subdue him by force. Psychological issues that don't affect the outcome can wait until the mission is over."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Use the same methods you used against the 'White Light Divine Sword' to deal with him?" Si asked again.
"Did he wrap himself up in a black box?" Li Qianxia asked rhetorically.
The 'Great Power - Black Flame Dragon' was trapped and killed by Li Changzhou using a black box.
Aside from the 'White Light Divine Sword', there is currently no 'great power' that can repel darkness, but the 'White Light Divine Sword' is inside the monster's body and is also in the 'Extreme Cold Ice Sword's' slowing zone, so it's impossible to get it in the short term.
“He’s not a monster, he can’t hurt me. If I go up to him and… that won’t work either.” Yaochi rejected her own suggestion.
Li Changzhou couldn't hurt her, but he could trap her. As for close combat...
"What's your idea?" Yaochi asked Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan said, "Changzhou doesn't have much 'great power'; the only ones he can use are 'darkness' and 'eternal separation of life and death'."
"Just a heads-up," Li Qianxia interjected, "I'll definitely be fine, and my brother won't attack you first, but if you attack him first... he might attack you in return!"
Yang Qinglan opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she swallowed it back.
She was slightly annoyed, but managed to remain rational: "We can unite with the Angels."
"The Allied Angels?!"
