God Eater Sequence: The Devourer - Chapter 49
But he always felt a gaze peeking at him.
Qin Siyang glanced over—it was Li Jingwen.
Li Jingwen’s uncle had already been missing for two days, yet Qin Siyang and Wen Shu were still alive and well.
As the biggest beneficiary of Qin Siyang and Wen Shu’s deaths, and possibly even the mastermind behind it, Li Jingwen had been feeling restless.
She even forgot to go find Zhou Yang today to chat, instead sitting absentmindedly in the classroom, occasionally turning her head to look at Qin Siyang, hoping to read something from his expression.
Just like ants cannot comprehend towering mountains and vast oceans, how could Li Jingwen, who had never experienced the ways of the world in a school setting, compete in wits with Qin Siyang, who carried multiple lives on his hands and had lived a second lifetime?
She secretly observed Qin Siyang many times, yet she still couldn’t discern a single clue from his ever-calm expression.
Whether it was an illusion or simply guilt, Li Jingwen felt increasingly unable to understand Qin Siyang.
Ever since the day Qin Siyang no longer revolved around her, he seemed to have stepped into a completely unknown territory beyond her grasp.
She looked at Qin Siyang once again, feeling as if his vacant gaze at the scenery outside the window was filled with stories she could not comprehend.
Out of nowhere, a fear crept over her.
She even had an unbelievable thought: Qin Siyang was actually a hidden Sequence Ability User who had counter-killed her uncle.
‘I’m going crazy. How could there possibly be a Sequence Ability User here.’, Li Jingwen shook her head, thinking she must not have rested well these past two days, leading to such a ridiculous idea.

During the break, Zhou Yang approached Li Jingwen.
Li Jingwen had been paying less attention to herself lately, and he felt a bit uncomfortable with it, so he came to check if something was wrong.
“Li Jingwen.”
Li Jingwen glanced at Zhou Yang standing at the classroom door and suddenly felt a bit flustered. She quickly stole another glance at Qin Siyang from the corner of her eye.
Qin Siyang was still resting his chin on his hand, dazed, without any reaction.
‘If Qin Siyang hasn’t made a move to separate me and Zhou Yang, then he must not know about Kun Chenglong. Looks like Kun Chenglong himself didn’t know who he messed with and ended up dumped into some filthy ditch!’, Thinking this, Li Jingwen’s mood instantly improved.
She then put on her signature sweet smile and ran toward the classroom door.
“Zhou Yang, why are you here?”
“I… You’ve seemed off these past two days, so I wanted to check if you were okay.”
“I’m fine, it’s just that something happened at home recently, so I’ve been a bit distracted.”, A flash of sadness suddenly crossed Li Jingwen’s eyes.
“What happened? Can I help?”
Li Jingwen shook her head, “I don’t know… But right now, I just wish there was someone I could rely on. Zhou Yang, I know we’re just ordinary friends, but after school… can I lean on your shoulder for a bit?”
Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Okay.”
“Thank you, you’re really kind.”
“Then I’ll see you after school.”, Li Jingwen said goodbye to Zhou Yang and walked back to the classroom door.
From a distance, she saw Qin Siyang sitting by the window, already lying on the desk, fast asleep.
Seeing Qin Siyang so relaxed made Li Jingwen even more convinced that he had no clue about Kun Chenglong’s attempt to kill him.
The dark cloud over her heart instantly lifted, and she returned to her previous mindset.
She wished Qin Siyang would just die already.
‘I wonder if Kun Chenglong is really dead. If he’s still alive, he better hurry up and kill that useless trash. Just seeing him annoys me.’
