"Optical Basics... Biological clock?" Jiang Shu quickly scanned the line of entries from top to bottom, this time unlike before, his gaze lingered on the words "biological clock."
He tried activating this entry, and after activation, he gained a clear sense of time’s passage.
It might be a bit useful during a performance, otherwise, he could just look at a tablet to keep time.
Jiang Shu thought to himself, then deactivated the entry and turned his attention to the more crucial derivative entry.
He walked into the bathroom, stood before the mirror, and activated his ability; looking at the mirror, it was completely empty, his reflection had disappeared without a trace.
"Well, it’s pretty creepy," whispered Jiang Shu, then he felt even creepier.
"Xiaojia, display my current thermal image." He looked at Tablet Spirit Xiaojia, and Xiaojia’s screen immediately showed his current thermal image. Then he nodded at little Ding, "Like the last experiment."
Ding got the message; it covered Jiang Shu with a blue flame, the temperature of which matched the room temperature, and the flame became invisible upon touching him, similar to how his clothes could become invisible.
At that moment, Xiaojia’s thermal imaging view showed nothing.
"That’s enough." Jiang Shu released himself from the states of flaming and invisibility, the mode he had just tested allowed him to evade most detections.
Jia: Radar.
"Right," nodded Jiang Shu, he had thought of this too, "And radar."
He thought for a moment, unconcerned: "Normally I wouldn’t encounter such things. Let Kirie try to make an ’invisibility cloak’ that can absorb radar waves, and then I should basically be undetectable."
"Let’s test this so-called small light control." Jiang Shu rallied, looking up at the ceiling light and the light it emitted.
He could feel the sphere of light.
Then, he stretched his hand towards the light, and the sphere of light inside the bulb gradually moved towards him until he completely mastered it.
No mass, no temperature, it was just a bundle of light.
Jiang Shu tried to control it to move elsewhere, and the sphere of light obediently floated around the room following his will, as flexible as a third hand.
He tried to speed it up, but the light’s highest speed was no more than that of a running person, and its brightness was only comparable to household lamps at best, not enough to be used as a flash grenade.
Moreover, Jiang Shu discovered that he couldn’t control the appearance of light spheres; he could only capture and use existing light, but that was easy to solve, as Jia Yibing Ding had flashlights.
Overall, this ability was quite mediocre, but when combined with "Shadow Cutting" and "Paper Card Technique," it became very powerful. Controlling the light also meant controlling shadows, so he could easily perform long-distance beheadings.
The strategic value of "Shadow Cutting" shot up, and combined with invisibility, he could now be considered a top-tier assassin.
Now, a new question arose.
Jiang Shu looked at the four Tablet Spirits, and at the same moment, all four looked back at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
Now possessing the ability of invisibility, and having learned from Du Yuyi that Ruo Ma was at White Eagle Company, should he go to White Eagle Company to find answers?
He slightly furrowed his brows.
Honestly, he truly hoped that his encounter with Liu Tingruo was an accident, one that had freed him from his predetermined fate, rather than her having ulterior motives and acting deliberately.
From Du Yuyi’s words, it was clear that she didn’t know Liu Tingruo.
Anyway, he still needed to secretly search for the truth.
"Let’s vote." Jiang Shu looked at the four Tablet Spirits, then conducted the third Magic House resolution.
But this time, the voting result wasn’t a landslide "5:0"; it was "1:4", with the four Tablet Spirits believing it was better to go to White Eagle Company sooner, as they didn’t know if Ruo Ma would still be there if they delayed.
But Jiang Shu still cast the only dissenting vote. He wanted to perform the Baglas Effect on Wednesday, obtain the corresponding derivative entry, and then set off.
"I want to use Baglas to gain a Prediction-related ability. With such an ability, our safety factor will greatly increase," Jiang Shu explained his reasons.
Jia: I simulated the infiltration results. Having obtained the derivative entry·Optical Invisibility, we can already easily infiltrate White Eagle Company. They are just a high-tech company with no Terrorism Control Bureau protection, nor do they have the military power and weapons as the Three Major Groups possess. We need not worry.
"What if?" Jiang Shu still shook his head.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyi tugged Xiaojia, sighed through its cooling vent, and then typed on the screen: He’s scared, he fears finding out that Ruo Ma is using him.
