Inside an office at the training camp.

Shen Qiuyu rested her hands on her lap and quietly gazed at Zhong Yue opposite her.

That's how it happened.

Xu Xiaoan is still lying in the infirmary and has not woken up.

Because it concerns the "Formless One," people take turns guarding her, waiting to report it as soon as she wakes up.

According to the doctor's report, the cause of his coma was suffocation.

However, he also appears to have suffered a mental breakdown and is in a weakened state, unable to wake up for the time being.

Last night, Zhong Yue chased the creature all the way to the depths of the back mountain, but in the end, he still let "Wu Xiang" escape.

So he had no choice but to return to the training camp, report the situation, and also find out about Shen Qiuyu's situation.

"Are you sure she never left your sight?"

Zhong Yue frowned and leaned forward slightly.

Yes, we've always been together.

Shen Qiuyu nodded firmly.

Before they parted, Jiang Mian had already taught them how to coordinate their statements, so they weren't flustered at all.

Zhong Yue stared at her for a few seconds, and seeing that she didn't seem to be doing anything, he leaned back in his chair and stroked his chin.

He knew about the No. 7 train incident; it involved the same group of people as the masterminds behind the Boundless Gate.

According to Shen Qiuyu, after the forced landing in that small realm, the team was forced to split into two groups, but they quickly reunited.

One group consisted of her and Yin Mengyao, while the other group included Ye Chenyang, Jiang Mian, and Xu Xiaoan.

There are too few clues, and it's impossible to figure out how the "Formless" thing ended up on Xu Xiaoan.

If we want to investigate further, we need to find two more people.

This is quite troublesome...

Zhong Yue was racking his brains.

He's good at fighting and teaching students, but when it comes to reasoning, it's practically killing him.

In short, if we consider the time spent on the train or before boarding, Xu Xiaoan became the vessel of "Formlessness".

However, why the other party didn't use their fusion ability on her remains to be seen.

After all, once the fusion is complete, "Wuxiang" can blend into the crowd under Xu Xiaoan's appearance, which is obviously more convenient.

Xu Xiaoan's current weakness may be due to the long-term "symbiosis" and the sudden separation.

Recalling the chase last night, several veins bulged on Zhong Yue's forehead.

That guy even mocked us as he ran; his personality was extremely awful.

It is said that [Formless] itself has no fixed form or personality, and it was able to develop the personality it encountered yesterday. No one knows what kind of messy things it has incorporated.

"Alright, Shen, you can go back now."

He waved his hand, indicating that Shen Qiuyu could leave.

"it is good."

Shen Qiuyu nodded, got up, pulled the chair back to its original position, and walked out the door.

She only felt a little relieved after leaving the office building.

As early as last night, after noticing that Xu Xiaoan had not returned home all night, Shen Qiuyu was prepared to be confronted at any time.

However, she did not expect Jiang Mian to pull a ruthless move, impersonating "Wu Xiang" and making the whole city aware of it.

Although she had no choice, Shen Qiuyu still obediently cooperated.

Fortunately, Jiang Mian was very resourceful and emerged from Xu Xiaoan's shadow openly and honestly, while also dispelling everyone's suspicions about her.

With that thought in mind, Shen Qiuyu walked towards the dormitory.

She left in such a hurry that morning that she grabbed her weapon and went back into the mountains...

Suddenly, Shen Qiuyu felt her feet sink, followed by an irresistible pull. Her vision went black as she was dragged into the dense forest beside the road.

Her body tensed instantly, and she subconsciously activated her abilities, but a familiar voice came from beside her ear.

"Sister Qiuyu, it's me."

Shen Qiuyu turned around and looked behind her, and there it was...

"Xiao An?"

The girl in front of me was wearing a black dress, the hem of which reached her knees.

The upper body was simply decorated with lace, revealing a small section of fair collarbone.

Although she looked exactly like Xu Xiaoan, Shen Qiuyu could tell her identity the moment their eyes met.

"Mianmian?"

"Were you scared?"

Jiang Mian smiled slightly, with a hint of mischievous pleasure.

Although the voice was the same as Xu Xiaoan's, it sounded strangely sleazy.

Shen Qiuyu was somewhat unsure.

In her memory, Jiang Mian had always been a very well-behaved person, and she usually spoke softly.

Even in the smaller realms, where she had to reveal her identity, she still gave off an impression of being cold and aloof, appearing quite powerful.

Never before have I been so... well, so playful?

"Yes, some."

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"Mianmian, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Mian nodded. Sure enough, it was easier to deal with smart people.

Whether they are enemies or allies.

"Sister Qiuyu, go to the infirmary later, I'll hide in your shadow."

Given Wangchuan's suspicious nature, he would definitely investigate Xu Xiaoan separately to confirm his identity.

Jiang Mian was unsure what method the other party would use; perhaps a death mark, or perhaps some other means.

Before she left, she left behind some radiant crystals imbued with Ye Chenyang's skills, which she then enveloped in her domain and secretly equipped in Xu Xiaoan's shadow.

But after all, that thing is specifically designed to counter [Formless], so the preservation time is quite limited using this method, and it's also a consumable item that can't be used many times.

There seems to be some trouble over there; she needs to check it out herself as soon as possible.

Once Wangchuan fully believes in his identity, Xu Xiaoan will be safe.

"Mianmian, Xiao An has someone watching over him, what if...?"

Shen Qiuyu knew that Jiang Mian was going to find Xu Xiaoan and reminded him.

"It's okay, just take me there."

"All right."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Mian transformed into a black shadow, perfectly blending into her own.

Shen Qiuyu straightened her clothes and walked towards the infirmary as if nothing had happened.

……

Meanwhile, at the training camp's medical room.

Xu Xiaoan lay on the bed, her eyes closed, but she was in a terrible panic.

Even though she was only at the second level, her senses were extremely sharp due to her unique nature, and she could clearly perceive the movements in this building.

Since then, all the sounds around us have disappeared; it's been eerily quiet.

Not long after, the sound of a door being pushed open came from the side, followed by footsteps approaching from a distance.

No, no...

Xu Xiaoan felt uneasy, but the footsteps eventually stopped beside her, and a strange fragrance wafted over.

She couldn't tell what it was, but it smelled strangely pleasant.

This situation seems particularly eerie.

Xu Xiaoan clearly remembered that there should have been two instructors guarding outside the door.

There are only two possibilities for this person to be able to get in: either they are an insider, or they are in cahoots with the weirdo who bullied her last night.

She prefers the latter.

But right now, I can't do anything but pretend to be unconscious.

Fortunately, Jiang Mian used his domain to envelop her spirit before leaving, so no matter what emotions she experienced, she would not emit any mental fluctuations.

As soon as the man sat down on the edge of the bed, Xu Xiaoan felt a little uncomfortable, as if something in her soul was stirring.

"Let's begin."

A cool, clear female voice came from beside my ear.

"Start? Start what?"

The next second, she felt as if something had bitten her body, and a sharp pain shot through the depths of her consciousness.

It felt as if my body and mind were being gradually devoured by something unknown, turning into nothingness.

A sense of fear rose in Xu Xiaoan's heart for no reason, but she gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to run away.

She knew she was pitifully weak and definitely couldn't beat the person next to her, nor could she outrun him.

Are we just going to lie here and wait to die?

Just when Xu Xiaoan thought he was going to die, a golden light suddenly shone from the depths of his consciousness, counteracting the power that was devouring him.

"Huh? It was left by Sister Mian..."

However, before she could finish rejoicing, the golden light lasted only a second before shattering like broken porcelain.

The feeling of emptiness returned, but then a golden light shone again.

It was both broken and bright.

This back-and-forth kept Xu Xiaoan in a daze.

Just then, the door to the infirmary was pushed open again.

Shen Qiuyu's voice came from outside the door.

"Who are you?"
