Chapter 57: Making Contact
“I don’t really understand all that supernatural stuff,” Yu Sheng admitted frankly, facing the puzzled expressions of Li Lin and his companions. “Especially things like Otherworlds and entities. Honestly, I’m not very familiar with anything outside of Boundary City either—that’s why I’ve been looking for ‘professionals’ like you. I’m hoping you can answer some of my questions.”
Li Lin and Xu Jiali exchanged bewildered glances. They were utterly stunned by Yu Sheng’s words. The girl in the red hood couldn’t help but look him up and down several times. “Wait—you mean you’ve never dealt with Otherworlds or entities before? You’ve only just started getting involved with this kind of thing?”
“I’ve lived a peaceful and ordinary life for the past twenty-something years,” Yu Sheng said honestly, spreading his hands. “It’s only recently that I’ve started encountering all these strange things. I’m completely new to this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiali’s expression began to falter. Just started dealing with Otherworlds? And yet, he can pin down level-three or higher dangerous Hunger Entities, casually open doors to wasteland planets millions of light-years away, and go in and out of Otherworlds like it’s his own home… What kind of ‘novice’ is this?
Is he even human?!
Xu Jiali exchanged a look with Li Lin beside him; their minds were racing, considering countless possibilities in an instant.
First off, they could almost confirm that the space-time dislocation phenomena causing chaos throughout the Special Affairs Bureau were definitely related to this man named Yu Sheng. The evidence was the door he had casually opened.
Yes, casually.
Secondly, they must not be fooled by Yu Sheng’s claim of being a ‘novice.’ Whether he really just started dealing with Otherworlds and entities or not, the power he possesses doesn’t seem like that of an ordinary human who’s only just begun to be influenced by Otherworlds.
