Zuo Xiuyan put the porcelain piece into the pocket of his windbreaker and fell into deep thought.

In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person in a foodie country in the 21st century. She had an accident on the way to work. When she woke up, she found herself in this world, possessed by a person with the same name as herself.

From the memory of the body, I learned that there will be a terrifying area in this world, which is full of strange monsters.

There are no rules for the formation of this field, and it has no restrictions on location or time.

Unfortunately, we, a group of people who just came out to eat, were enveloped by some kind of field that suddenly appeared.

Now we can only rely on the memory of this body to study and analyze this monster.

Zuo Xiuyan played the scene in his mind like a fast-forwarded movie, looking for all the details.

The others also turned their attention back to the most pressing matter at the moment - how to escape from this hellish place. They no longer focused on Zuo Xiuyan.

"Brother Shen, can you please tell us what to do?" someone asked anxiously.

"How do we deal with that monster? Do you have any idea? Otherwise, more people will die!"

Everyone looked at Shen Zhi, waiting for his answer, and apparently regarded him as their backbone.

Shen Zhi shook his head, his face solemn.

"But aren't you an Awakened One? How come there is no solution? Can't you just go up and kill that thing?"

In this world, everyone has the opportunity to discover their own talents and suddenly gain magical abilities. The strong can go up to the sky and into the earth, call the wind and rain, and the weak can see at night and remember everything they see.

Once someone has extraordinary abilities, they are called an awakener. In this strange world, they are the living force to fight against monsters.

"It's not as simple as you think." Shen Zhi frowned, with impatience and disgust on his face.

"Derivatives is a general term that includes all domain monsters. You know this common sense!"

"There are thousands of them, with different looks and abilities. Can you just kill them if you want?"

"I am an awakener, that's right. But no matter how powerful my awakened abilities are, if I don't understand the rules of this derivative, what's the difference between going up there and committing suicide? Do you want me to die?"

"No, no! I definitely didn't mean that!" The thin boy who asked the question quickly waved his hands, "I said the wrong thing, Brother Shen, don't take it seriously, I just asked quickly."

"Then Brother Shen, what ability did you awaken?"

Everyone's curiosity was aroused and they pricked up their ears.

This gathering is to celebrate Shen Zhi becoming an awakened person.

As the only awakened person in the class, Shen Zhi is everyone's hope for escape. Naturally, everyone hopes that the answer they hear will be as strong as possible.

"What ability are you asking him about?" The petite girl next to Shen Zhi raised her voice by eight degrees, her heavily made-up face almost wrinkled, "The ability of an awakener is his most important secret and his lifeblood. What do you want to know about this?"

"Ah, so that's how it is." The thin boy looked terrified, "I'm sorry, Brother Shen, look at my mouth..."

"That's enough!" Shen Zhi waved his hand in annoyance, "Stop asking questions."

"Recall what you saw! Find the pattern of the gray man's appearance and his weakness, otherwise you will all die."

He frowned and began to pace back and forth.

"Everyone, please think about it quickly. Don't let me think alone."

"Ah?" The people around were at a loss.

"I didn't find anything special... This monster appeared completely out of nowhere. When it first appeared, no one would have noticed it, unless someone had died suddenly."

"I don't even know when the domain descended..."

"This second time, it came without warning and didn't do anything? It was so frightened by the dead, who would have noticed it?"

"Even Shen Zhi can't do anything about it, what can ordinary people like us think of?"

"What can we do? Can we just wait to die?"

The atmosphere of helplessness filled the room again.

"The death trigger mechanism of this derivative has nothing to do with whether it can be seen or not."

A female voice suddenly sounded, speaking in a decisive tone.

Everyone looked at the source of the slightly unfamiliar sound in surprise.

"...Zuo Xiuyan?" They were not yet familiar with the voice of someone who usually didn't talk.

Zuo Xiuyan pointed to his own eyes and said, "First of all, most of the derivatives triggered by sight have organs or objects similar to 'eyes', but it doesn't."

Everyone looked at each other.

They have never heard of this rule.

I don’t know whether it is right or wrong, but the momentum is full of absolute confidence, which cannot be refuted and makes people have to believe it.

A transparent person who usually keeps his head down and is bullied, now has sharp eyes and a firm tone, and it's like he has become a completely different person.

People looked at Shen Zhi. As an awakened one, he was the one who knew monsters best. He should know whether it was nonsense or not, right?

Shen Zhi did not respond and remained silent.

Sometimes, not denying means agreeing.

"Isn't he sure?" people whispered. "How strange, why doesn't he know as much as ordinary people?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhi's face turned grim and he looked back angrily.

"The second, more direct evidence is that the person hiding behind the chair is dead."

Zuo Xiuyan patted the back of the chair beside him and said, "You can see that it is solid. And because of the angle, the table blocks the lower legs of the chair. This chair can completely shield a person."

"If it had something to do with sight, the one who died would be the one who didn't have time to hide, not him who couldn't be seen."

"So, all the things in this room for you to hide from are useless."

"What?" Everyone shuddered. Those who were clinging to the table, ready to crawl under at any time, felt empty in their hearts and their calves began to tremble.

"That's just a random death!" People started to panic, even more than before.

"It appeared twice. There is some pattern to it." Zuo Xiuyan took out his cell phone from his pocket and started beeping.

The Faceless Gray Man had appeared once before she crossed over into this body.

"I estimated the time, and the interval between appearances is 10 minutes. I speculate that it is very likely to appear on time."

"The next time it appears, it will most likely be 10 minutes later."

"Although we cannot rule out the possibility of it being brought forward, let's calculate it this way for now."

"The key is……"

She turned the screen towards everyone.

Above is a stopwatch countdown that is rapidly decreasing.

【00:05:23】

【00:05:22】

"Subtract the time blocks of 'You're bothering me', 'Talking to Shen Zhi', and 'Now I'm going to analyze'. There are at most 5 minutes and 14 seconds left before it appears again."

The moment Zuo Xiuyan finished speaking, the phone screen showed -

【00:05:14】

In her previous life, she was extremely sensitive to time and had an almost demonic ability to estimate time, even accurate to the second. Her friends jokingly called her a walking human clock.

After she came through, even though she was facing crises, she never stopped counting the time in her heart.

As for the calculation of time in the body's memory, she dared to say that the error would definitely not exceed three seconds.

"5 minutes!" everyone exclaimed, shivering all over.

Some people quickly took out their phones to check the time.

The derivative has not arrived yet, but she has spread the deeper fear in advance and laid it out in front of everyone.

"I'm done." Zuo Xiuyan no longer paid attention to everyone's reactions. He turned off the screen of his phone, put it back in his pocket, and walked towards the door.

"You haven't said what to do with it!" Shen Zhi suddenly shouted.

Others reacted and quickly responded: "Why don't you tell me how to kill that thing? What should we do?"

Zuo Xiuyan had already walked to the open door. He reached out and touched it, but there was an invisible barrier blocking it.

Perhaps only by destroying the Gray Man can this barrier be dissipated.

Telling others about your conclusions is to pool their wisdom and increase the chances of coming up with an answer.

She did not place her hopes on others, but believed that there is strength in numbers and the wisdom of many people should not be underestimated.

But now, her heart was filled with disappointment towards these people.

They offer nothing, only ask and depend.

Shen Zhi shouted sarcastically, "You just said a lot, but there is no result. What are you talking about?"

"Heh." Zuo Xiuyan didn't turn around, but just chuckled, "So what conclusion did you come up with? Didn't you ask us to think about it together instead of just thinking about it alone?"

"You!" Shen Zhi gritted his teeth.

"I have cut off most of the wrong options and am very close to the answer. Instead of questioning me, you should use your brain to think about it. It's better than being a headless fly."

Shen Zhi yelled angrily: "Who the hell are you calling a fly!"

Zuo Xiuyan turned around with a smile on his face.

"If I come up with the answer later, why don't I go out first and let you, the noisiest fly, wait here to die? Hmm?"
