As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

“During yesterday’s battle, someone saw us, and that person wasn’t a resident of the fortress. If they were a resident of the fortress, it would be easier to deal with, but that person seemed to be from outside, and a student from the same school as you.”

"Why are the students at our school doing this?"

Shu Ouma's words are easy to understand. After all, students from their school wouldn't randomly go to a chaotic place like Roppongi.

Have you ever heard of Normajesty?

"I remember it's a popular drug lately, is he here to buy that?"

Shu Ouma asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's said that he called himself Fang Tang during the transaction, but that's obviously not his real name. He may have seen your actions yesterday. Find him."

"How could that be? How many students do you think our school has? There's simply no way to find them."

"No, there is a way: extract the void."

Upon hearing Gai Tsutsugami's words, Shu Ouma suddenly understood something.

“I understand. You can see it and know what other people’s emptiness is.”

"Oh?"

"Just like in Roppongi, if you didn't know, you wouldn't have been able to formulate that battle plan at all."

Indeed, just as Shu Ouma said, the entire operation plan was intricately linked, and the most crucial element was Shu Ouma's extraction of Daryl's Void Kaleidoscope. However, without knowing that Daryl's Void Kaleidoscope was the same as the Kaleidoscope itself, the entire operation would be meaningless.

“It’s so much easier to talk to smart people. I can definitely see the emptiness in others, and I felt there were witnesses at that time, and I saw its emptiness. Under the current temporary disaster prevention law, terrorists have no human rights. If you are identified by a witness, you can’t get away unscathed either, you understand? I have already told Abigail the shape of the emptiness. If you think a peaceful daily life is important, then go and protect it yourself.”

After the conversation ended, the two went back.

The next day, Shu Ouma and Abigail hid behind a corner, waiting for their prey to take the bait.

"Although I am asked to extract the void, there are so many people in the school, it's impossible for me to try it on one by one."

"Keep it up, kid, I believe in you. You've memorized all the rules of the void, haven't you?"

"Yes, I've remembered. First, only people under the age of 17 can be extracted from the void, for reasons unknown or they can't tell me. Second, those who are extracted from the void will lose their memories before and after the extraction, because the memory regions of the introns are impacted when the void is released, that's how it is."

"You remember it quite clearly. Okay, someone's coming, you can go now."

At that moment, at the end of the passage, a young girl was walking towards the corner where the two of them were.

Shu Ouma briefly observed what was ahead, then hid again.

If it's a ritual, even if it fails, she'll forgive me, right?

Shu Ouma then closed his eyes and listened carefully to the footsteps around the corner.

Right now.

Immediately, Shu Ouma rushed out and grabbed his prey by the chest.

However, what happened next left him speechless.

"Oh my, what a famous scene!" Abigail stood to the side and smiled as she commented.

Why? Why is this happening?

A moment of silence fell over the scene, and behind Shu Ouma, a large group of students had gathered because of the sight. Some sighed in amazement, while others took out their phones to take pictures.

Meanwhile, Kyoto Matsuri, looking dejected, said sadly to Ouma Shu, "Shu, you could have just said the word, and I would have been there anytime..."

As for the victim, Kazama Kanon, after being stunned for so long, she finally came to her senses.

"ah!!!!

As Kusama Kanon screamed loudly, Ouma Shu realized that now was not the time to stay there, so he took two steps back, turned around, and ran away.

"Stop right there! Shu Ouma!"

Kazami Kanon immediately chased after them, followed by Abigail. She didn't follow to mediate the fight, but to see how Ouma Shu would handle this awkward situation.

"What a terrible day! If I had stayed hidden for three years, do you think everyone would have forgotten about this? Or maybe they would all have died! Miss Abigail, why didn't you help me before?!"

At noon, as usual, Shu Ouma arrived at his secret base. He sat in front of the base's computer, looking like he was about to die, and said something to Abigail beside him.

"What does this have to do with me? This is your own problem. If you had just kept your eyes on the road ahead, you wouldn't have had so many problems."

"What do you mean?"

"Simply put, when you were preparing to extract the void, you didn't even look into the other person's eyes. How can you activate your ability if you don't look into the other person's eyes?"

"Is that so? There are such rules? I didn't know! But I can't do it. I get nervous when I make eye contact with someone, and I can't even speak."

"Then I can't help you. Although I'm here to assist you, I'm actually quite happy to see you troubled by this. I find it very interesting."

"Miss Abigail, your personality is just too awful," Shu Ouma said with a hint of exasperation.

"What should I do now? If I can't overcome this difficulty, how can I find the person who saw me?"

"That depends on your own comprehension. Class is about to start, so hurry back."

“I’d like to stay here for a while, Miss Abigail. Could you please ask for a sick leave for me?”

"Shu Ouma," he said dejectedly, slumped over the table.

"Young man, how could you do this? How could you give up because of this little setback? A great man once said it well: A brave man should face the bleakness of life and confront the dripping blood. You have to face it eventually. Go."

“Miss Abigail, you just want to see me make a fool of myself. No matter what you say, I’m not going back this afternoon. Let me have some peace and quiet.”

"This is really boring. Fine, you stay here then, I'm going back."

Seeing Shu Ouma's expression, Abigail said somewhat boredly.

Abigail then turned and left.

After Abigail left, Shu Ouma lay on the table and muttered to himself.

"What should I do? I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in school anymore. Maybe I should ask my mom to transfer me. But before that, I need to find out who saw me. But I can't make eye contact with anyone. What should I do?"

Slumped dejectedly onto the table, Ouma Shu could only aimlessly click the mouse on the computer screen.

Finally, not knowing what to do, Shu Ouma stood up.

"Let's go back."

............

On his way home, Shu Ouma was still contemplating his future.

Just then, he noticed the coffee shop next to the school, and he couldn't help but think of the strange person he had met yesterday.

"Why don't we go and meet him?"

With this in mind, Shu Ouma walked into the coffee shop.

After entering the coffee shop and looking around, Shu Ouma found the target he was looking for and walked over to it.

"You've arrived." Xu Tianyun said to Ouma Shu without turning her head, while drinking her coffee.

"You knew I was coming?" Shu Ouma asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course!" Xu Tianyun put down her coffee and smiled at Ouma Shu.

However, this act was actually an act by Xu Tianyun. He had been sitting in the coffee shop for half a day waiting for Ouma Shu's arrival, and luckily, Ouma Shu really did come.

"Have a seat. Would you like some coffee?"

"Just give me a glass of juice."

Shu Ouma sat down opposite Xu Tianyun and said.

"That's fine."

Xu Tianyun then raised her hand and asked the waiter for a glass of juice.

"So, you came to see me today because there's something you want me to help you with, right?"

Xu Tianyun looked at Ouma Shu and said. Actually, his initial plan was to directly tell Ouma Shu what he was worried about based on the information in the plot, in order to increase his position in Ouma Shu's heart. However, after what happened yesterday, Xu Tianyun felt that he might be proven wrong again, so he decided not to say anything and just wait and see.

"actually......"

Shu Ouma suddenly hesitated. Was it really okay to tell this person something like this? Maybe it's better if you don't say anything.

What is it?

"Actually, I've been struggling with how to make eye contact with others. Whenever I see someone's gaze, I get so nervous that I can't speak. But right now, there's something I need to do to complete it. Do you have any suggestions on how to help me overcome this problem?"

"Eye contact? I see."

Upon hearing Ouma Shu's question, Xu Tianyun immediately understood what was going on. Although he didn't remember the plot very clearly, he did have some recollection of this particular point.

"Actually, I do have a solution to this problem. It's very simple: if you can't make eye contact with others, then just don't make eye contact with them."

"But I can't get what I'm supposed to do without making eye contact with others!"

"No, you didn't understand what I meant. Do you think we're making eye contact right now?"

"?? I think... she's here." Ouma Shu said somewhat uncertainly, although Xu Tianyun gave him the feeling that she was looking directly at him.

"Wrong answer. I wasn't actually looking into your eyes; I was seeing your position."

As Xu Tianyun spoke, she pointed to the spot between her eyebrows with her hand.

"Actually, you don't need to look into other people's eyes. The key is to make them feel that you are looking into their eyes."

"Is this really okay?" Shu Ouma asked uncertainly.

"Then let's try it together. You want to extract someone else's void, right? I'm also very interested in your void, so how about we try it together?"

However, upon hearing Xu Tianyun utter the word "void," Ouma Shu looked at Xu Tianyun somewhat nervously and asked:

How do you know about the void?

"I know a lot of things, but all you need to know is that I have no ill intentions towards you."

Chapter 147 Betrayal

When Abigail saw Shu Ouma again that night, he had completely changed from his previous life-or-death state and seemed to have become very confident.

"Hey kid, did anything interesting happen to you this afternoon? You look so smug, you probably had a rather intimate conversation with some young lady on the street, didn't you?"

"??"

When Shu Ouma first heard Abigail's words, he didn't react at first, but after two seconds, his face suddenly turned red.
