Today's test was another major failure.

Standing in front of the roller shutter, You Yonghuai glanced at Si Xuanyin, but before he could speak, the girl grumbled and poked her head in:

"I'll have to find a way to switch places with you sooner or later, so you can become a spirit."

After flying inside and looking around, Si Xuanyin returned to You Yonghuai's side and said with a hint of disdain, "There aren't many people inside. They look like a bunch of street thugs, not construction workers."

"That's normal, after all, the ringleader got into trouble while drunk two weeks ago," Ling Xiuqi shrugged. "Most of the ones still here are just coasting... Where's the back door?"

Si Xuanyin flew into the building again and looked around before leading the two to the back entrance.

Ling Xiuqi tried knocking on the door, and after a few minutes, a man in a vest opened it for him: "What's up?"

"I have a project I'd like to entrust to you," Ling Xiuqi said with a gentle smile, not wearing a police uniform.

"...We're not taking orders right now," the man said after a moment's hesitation.

"Eight people will be enough; it won't take you too much time," Ling Xiuqi paused, then said, "If it works well, I can give you 200,000."

"?" You Yonghuai stood behind Ling Xiuqi, his eyes wide.

There's a limit to how fast a train can run, right?

Upon hearing the price offered by Ling Xiuqi, the man was clearly tempted. He glanced back at the crowd inside the building, then stepped aside: "Let's come in and talk."

The facilities inside the building are somewhat dilapidated, seemingly having not been replaced or properly maintained for a long time; it looks more like an abandoned building than a company.

"Sorry, we've run out of tea leaves." The man brought over two cups of water and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"It's alright," Ling Xiuqi said, taking the cup and then looking at You Yonghuai behind him. "I'll talk to him. You can wander around here for a bit."

You Yonghuai nodded, left the meeting room, and turned to look around.

Apart from the offices of a few leaders, there were no obvious divisions of areas on this floor. Several slovenly dressed, rough-looking men were scattered around, intently staring at their phones.

A few people did notice You Yonghuai, but they only glanced at him and, seeing that he looked very young, did not get up.

After standing there for a while, several options reappeared before You Yonghuai's eyes:

[Observation (70% success rate)]

[Lock picking (13% success rate)]

[Brawling (Success rate 44%)]

After ignoring the ambiguous choice below, Yu Yonghuai decided to take this opportunity to try the test.

After all, failing the test here shouldn't cause any major problems.

[Observational test: A value greater than 30 indicates a successful test]

Test result: 24

[Test failed! You found nothing]

After scanning the room again, You Yonghuai felt that the building was ordinary and nothing special.

Furthermore, since everyone now has a check option popping up, Yu Yonghuai doesn't know if being able to perform a check means there's something hidden.

However, those three options remained before You Yonghuai's eyes.

After glancing at Si Xuanyin who had flown upstairs, You Yonghuai tried to conduct another observation and assessment.

[Observational test failed!]

[Observational test failed!]

……

After several failed tests, You Yonghuai turned his head in confusion, wanting to try a few more times.

It appears that there is no penalty for these failed tests.

It can even bring bad luck to those who "accumulate strength and then unleash it".

Before You Yonghuai could conduct another observation and examination, he suddenly felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, and two streams of warm liquid overflowed from the back of his eyes.

Just then, Si Xuanyin flew down from upstairs. When she saw You Yonghuai's appearance, she was stunned at first, then hurriedly circled around him, asking, "Why is your eye bleeding?"

"?"

You Yonghuai reached out and wiped away the tears from his eyes. He looked down and saw a smear of blood.

"It's the punishment for constantly failing the tests, right..." Yu Yonghuai looked enlightened, but didn't seem to care too much.

Before obtaining the Source of Life, he didn't take his body too seriously, let alone now that he could replace parts at will.

[Observational test failed!]

Another failed attempt to improve flashed before his eyes. You Yonghuai looked up without much emotion, but his vision was somewhat blurry.

His eyesight seems to have deteriorated.

It felt like sand had gotten into his eyes. The sudden change in his vision made You Yonghuai feel a little uncomfortable. He raised his hand and pressed it against his left eye, applying slight pressure with his fingers.

"Clatter".

Whether it was due to accidentally using too much force or the consequences of a failed test, You Yonghuai's eyeball popped out.

"!"

A series of gasps of astonishment could be heard clearly from not far away.

You Yonghuai instantly realized that someone was watching him. He hurriedly turned his head, and at the same time, a new eyeball was rapidly growing in his eye socket.

With his gaze falling on the man who had made the sound not far away, You Yonghuai noticed that the success rate of the observation and verification had increased.

[Observational test: A value greater than 25 indicates a successful test]

Test result: 34

[Detection successful! You have noticed something unusual in your surroundings.]

His vision blurred slightly for a moment, then immediately became clear, and a feeling quickly arose in You Yonghuai's mind.

His gaze fell directly on the wrist of the man who had spoken.

Inside the long sleeve, the man seemed to be wearing something on his wrist that was emitting a faint spiritual light.

The light was so faint that it could not be noticed unless one looked closely.

Fortunately, the sound of the eyeball hitting the ground was not loud, and no one else paid attention to him except for that man, so the sudden detachment of the eyeball did not cause a commotion.

Crouching down, You Yonghuai picked up his own eyeball and then casually removed his equally nearsighted right eye.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt.

A pair of bright eyes grew back. You Yonghuai blinked his big, watery eyes and then walked towards the man who had spoken.

"Hello, shall we get to know each other?" You Yonghuai smiled gently, as if he wasn't the one who had just lost an eye.

"..." The man wearing the coat looked at You Yonghuai with some fear, his lips turning pale.

"What's that thing on his hand?" Si Xuanyin also noticed the faint spiritual light under the sleeve. She leaned over to look, but the other person subconsciously moved his arm away.

"...You can see me, right?" With her head still in mid-air, Si Xuanyin stared straight into the man's eyes and said in a deep voice.

Then, You Yonghuai grabbed the man's hand and used his strength to pull him down by his arm.

The man tried to break free from You Yonghuai, but found that no matter how hard he tried, You Yonghuai's hand did not budge.

Upon lifting his sleeves and seeing the jewelry the man was wearing, both You Yonghuai and Si Xuanyin's expressions darkened.

The bracelet on the man's wrist was none other than the bracelet that Subject No. 8 had transformed into.

That alchemical creation of Si Xuanyin, obtained from the laboratory!
