Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 34 Part 2

What’s worse is that they couldn’t find the answer to this question.

Because to truly interpret the actions of that precognitive, they would need to rely on high-level omniscience or precognition. And the high-level users of these two tendencies were almost completely wiped out at the time.

“Pu Han’s actual ability level at that time was only ‘Lamp’. In order to save Feifei, he took a huge risk and forcibly upgraded himself to Radiance level in a short period of time,” Yang Buqi sighed again. “Perhaps it was because of this time difference that he didn’t become that guy’s target. But even he couldn’t clearly see the beginning and end of that incident.”

In terms of omniscience, even the only current “Radiance” level ability user found it difficult to probe, let alone others.

As for precognition, it was even worse.

“Do you know why there haven’t been any high-level precognitives in the past 5 years?” Yang Buqi glanced at Xu Turan. “That guy not only eliminated all the precognitives at the time, but also sealed off the path for all future precognitives to advance.”

Xu Turan: “…?”

“He could even do this?” She frowned in confusion.

Then she remembered—Weiwei had once said that so-called “upgrades” were actually equivalent to countless people and monsters with the same tendency logging into the same server in a dream.

“…” Xu Turan was shocked, completely unable to believe her bold guess. “Don’t tell me that guy blew up the server after upgrading himself?”

“What server… oh.” Yang Buqi hadn’t expected Xu Turan’s thoughts to turn so quickly, and it took him a moment to understand what she meant. He immediately shook his head.

“Not exactly, but it’s similar.”

Yang Buqi organized his words and said: “I don’t know if Su Sui’er and the others have told you… the place for upgrading, or what you call the ‘server’, is a one-way street.”

He raised his hand to gesture to Xu Turan: “On this road, there are different areas. Reaching each new area means completing an upgrade. Between each area, there are things like ‘doors’ blocking the way…”

Xu Turan understood: “You’re not going to say he put locks on all the ‘doors’, are you?”

Yang Buqi nodded seriously.

Xu Turan: “…” That’s too vicious.

She thought carefully and felt something was wrong: “But didn’t you say it was a one-way street?”

If he wanted to put locks on the doors, wouldn’t he have to run back?

“No one knows how he managed it. But that’s the fact,” Yang Buqi shook his head. “Even the main entrance to the ‘server’ was locked by him. So in the past 5 years, there have been basically no ‘Candle’ level and above ability users with precognitive tendencies, all are Firefly level…”

He himself was the only exception. His current precognition is at the “Lamp” level, but he has been stuck at this level for nearly 2 years and it’s hard to make any progress.

In other words, that precognitive single-handedly ruined the entire “precognition” ability tendency. Now, looking at all tendencies, “precognition” can be said to be the most useless ability by common consensus.

Xu Turan’s eyes flickered slightly, suddenly becoming interested: “So, how did you manage to upgrade?”

She stared at Yang Buqi curiously, her eyes as bright as if they contained stars: “Does this have anything to do with your concealment from the Ciji Institute?”

Yang Buqi: “…”

Sure enough, it came back to this question in the end.

He coughed, sitting up slightly straighter, his gaze beginning to flicker. Seeing him like this, Xu Turan hurriedly raised her hand understandingly: “It’s okay, I was just asking casually. If you don’t want to say, forget it.”

“No, there’s nothing I can’t say…” Yang Buqi pursed his lips. “Strictly speaking, there’s actually no connection. It’s just that I’m currently applying to the organization for resources to push for the ‘Torch’ level in precognition. Once they know that I have a more useful omniscient tendency, or my true progress in the life tendency, they might refuse to help me push for precognition anymore.”

“? Why?” Xu Turan folded her arms. “Others can’t upgrade in this aspect, only you can. They should help you even more, shouldn’t they?”

“But as I said before, once you upgrade to ‘Torch’ level, the organization will control members’ upgrades more strictly. And compared to the past, there are more factors to consider now,” Yang Buqi said honestly. “The current organization doesn’t have the capital to take risks anymore. Compared to precognition which has had problems before, they would definitely prefer to cultivate omniscience and life…”

In order to avoid more interference, he could only choose to conceal.

It’s also thanks to his good private relationship with Pu Han that this matter could be kept secret—although Pu Han successfully preserved Feifei’s consciousness back then, his body actually couldn’t quite handle the symbiosis with Feifei. Plus, he forced himself to upgrade, in a way that was almost madness, which also brought great side effects to his body. In the first year of achieving symbiosis with Feifei, he was so sick that he was hardly ever conscious.

Coincidentally, Yang Buqi entered the field in the second year, and he happened to have an outstanding healing talent. He helped with intermittent treatment for a year, and only then did Pu Han slowly recover. Because of this, he felt he owed Yang Buqi a favor, so he was willing to help conceal.

Yang Buqi considered this experience to be extremely sinful and shameful, and now he was completely confessing to Xu Turan, which was tantamount to laying all his cards on the table. As he spoke, he carefully observed Xu Turan’s expression, noticing her suddenly furrowed brows. His heart involuntarily skipped a beat, and he immediately averted his gaze.

“I know this kind of thing is quite despicable. But I have no choice, I have something I want to do… I want to know what exactly that Star level precognitive saw. This is currently the biggest crux, and it’s useless to just avoid this matter. We must find a way to figure it out… If they cultivate me into an ability user of other tendencies, no matter how powerful, it’s just adding another fighter. But if I can figure this out, it would be of enormous benefit to the entire ability user community.”

Yang Buqi closed his eyes and took a deep breath: “If you find this unacceptable, I don’t know what to say. But please, don’t leak this to the Ciji Institute. As long as you promise this, anything else… we can talk about anything.”

Xu Turan: “…”

She put down her chopsticks with a subtle expression: “Um, I haven’t said anything yet, have I?”

Why suddenly act like a persecuted, enduring idealistic little white flower? I just picked up some food with my chopsticks, what on earth did you imagine?

Yang Buqi: “…”

“But I saw you seemed to have a very disgusted expression just now.”

Xu Turan: “…Would you believe me if I said I just bit into a star anise?”

Yang Buqi: “……”

Damn. It’s actually the truth.

He raised his hand to support his temple, suddenly feeling an urge to jump out of the window.

How embarrassing, so embarrassing. What had he just said? He wasn’t some persecuted, enduring idealistic little white flower. It was too shameful.
