After gaining a preliminary understanding of the matters following Sequence Awakening, Qin Siyang once again browsed through the post summarizing various sequences and abilities.
He needed to find a sequence that could hide his identity, one that could be covered by his existing abilities without revealing any flaws.
If he were to register with the Sequence Ability User Administration Bureau, he had to find such a mask.
Initially, Qin Siyang planned to create his own sequence, tailoring everything from the sequence name to the skills for his "God Eater." However, after some thought, he decided against it.
Firstly, he wasn't sure if the Administration Bureau had a way to verify sequences, such as whether there would be any loopholes in a fabricated sequence.
Secondly, all Sequence Ability Users could see his information. A brand-new sequence would undoubtedly attract everyone's attention and scrutiny.
Under the magnifying glass of countless people, he would inevitably expose himself.
It was even possible that his luck would be so bad that someone later would awaken a sequence with the exact same name as the one he fabricated, which would immediately expose him.
Therefore, it was safest to find something from the existing sequences.
Qin Siyang had no specific direction and could only carefully examine each sequence to find the best mask to hide his identity.
The post began by introducing the common abilities of Sequence Ability Users.
"After awakening, a Sequence Ability User's strength, agility, and perception will all increase accordingly. Once you digest five bottles of Sequence Potion, your physical attributes will increase by about three times, far surpassing ordinary people."
Only three times?
Qin Siyang thought about how he had punched a thug flying, with a force comparable to a speeding car crash. Forget about a threefold increase in strength, it was probably tenfold.
His eyes lit up: Could it be that his "God Eater" sequence could further enhance his basic attributes?
This truly astonished him.
Not only were his skills incredibly powerful after awakening his sequence, but even his basic growth was remarkably high.
"I don't know what kind of day it is, but one good news after another, I can hardly keep up."
Qin Siyang smiled and carefully reviewed each sequence's abilities.
When he saw the "Scent Sniffer" sequence, he discovered that the level one skill "Scent Seeking" could locate enemies within a certain range based on the scent left at the scene, and he felt relieved.
Indeed, there were Sequence Ability Users who could track based on scent! His worries were not unfounded!
Fortunately, he had chosen a place with a chaotic scent to destroy the bodies; otherwise, it would have been dangerous.
"The skills of 'Scent Sniffer' will fail in areas with a strong divine presence. Forcing the skill may lead to fainting, bleeding from the seven orifices, or even brain death."
"Since 'Scent Sniffer' skills are ineffective against gods, it is one of the few sequences that can receive Sequence Potion from the Administration Bureau without fighting gods. However, to receive Sequence Potion, 'Scent Sniffers' must join the United Government's organization, usually assisting in solving cases at the Police Bureau."
Especially when he saw "assisting in solving cases," Qin Siyang breathed a sigh of relief. Needless to say, the trouble he caused at Safe Zone Exit No. 89757 yesterday would surely attract the Police Bureau, and there might be "Scent Sniffer" Sequence Ability Users involved.
Having narrowly escaped, he felt immense joy.
He continued to read, learning a lot about Sequence Ability Users from the post.
Qin Siyang wanted to write all of this down because his mind couldn't remember all the abilities of Sequence Ability Users.
However, taking out paper and pen to record these would be too suspicious. Qin Siyang had to try to remember the more important and common sequences as much as possible.
But he found that after awakening his sequence ability, his memory seemed to have improved. Although he couldn't remember every sequence ability after just one look, he could remember most of them.
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart at how great it was to awaken a sequence ability.
Just as he was feeling pleased, he saw another sequence: "Undying."
It was because he had inadvertently glimpsed information about the "Undying" sequence, which could read the memories of the deceased, during his previous browsing of the "Godslayer Camp," that he had smashed the heads of the three thugs.
He secretly felt lucky in his heart; that brief glimpse of information had saved his life, truly a stroke of good fortune.
Qin Siyang carefully read the skills of the "Undying" sequence.
"Death's Edict": Can read the memories of the deceased from the last period of their life. However, the deceased's brain must still retain biological characteristics, meaning it cannot be diseased or decomposed (such as by burning or acid corrosion). Otherwise, the skill will fail. This story is hosted at novelping . com.
Seeing this, Qin Siyang was stunned.
Burning a corpse could also prevent "Death's Edict" from being activated? Then wasn't smashing the three skulls unnecessary?
This unnecessary action shouldn't cause any trouble, right?
The "Undying" sequence's description was very prominent in the post, suggesting it was one of the more common or early recorded sequences.
In this case, could the abilities of the "Undying" sequence be common knowledge among Sequence Ability Users?
To verify his guess, he searched for posts about "Undying" in the forum and found nearly a hundred thousand related posts!
It was evident that "Undying" was indeed a very common sequence.
It could basically be described as "common knowledge."
But he hadn't known anything about it before.
Qin Siyang couldn't stop guessing in his mind whether this oversight would expose his identity.
Handling the corpses unnecessarily suggested a lack of understanding of sequence abilities.
Feeling guilty, he couldn't help but ponder this possibility.
"If someone pays attention, could this be a flaw?"
Qin Siyang didn't know if he was overthinking it.
Perhaps the psychology of a perpetrator always becomes suspicious after the fact, reacting to every little thing.
But he truly believed in his heart that he might be on the verge of exposure.
Just then, he heard a commotion outside the Internet cafe.
What's going on?
Amidst the chaos, Qin Siyang heard what seemed like a heated argument.
At that moment, he vaguely heard a voice:
"Officer, I'm just running a small business; I can't handle such inspections!"
Officer?!
Qin Siyang's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be such a coincidence that just as he thought he might be exposed, the Police Bureau came knocking?!
Could the Police Bureau act so quickly?!
Regardless of whether they were coming for him, he had to be prepared.
In a panic, Qin Siyang hurriedly deleted his browser history and then found a way to disguise himself.
Just as he finished, seven or eight police officers entered the Internet cafe.
"Everyone, step away from your computers immediately, hands on your head, squat down beside you! Move!"
Qin Siyang put on a panicked expression and quickly followed the officer's instructions, squatting with his hands on his head.
"You! What are you doing! Step away from the computer! Raise your hands!" an officer shouted angrily at a scruffy young man in the corner, pointing a gun at him.
The man hurriedly pulled up his pants, mumbling, "Officer, I was... I... I was..."
The officer immediately rushed to the disobedient man's side.
"Get out of here!"
"Yes, officer." The man didn't even bother to pull up his pants, squatting with his hands on his head.
Looking at the content on his computer, the officer disdainfully said, "Watch less of this stuff; indulging too much at a young age will cause trouble in the future." New chapters come out on g.com first.
After speaking, the officer left.
Then, the seven or eight officers checked the browser history and content on each computer.
When they reached Qin Siyang, the officer glanced at his face, then at the computer screen and browser content, and sympathetically patted his shoulder: "If a girl hasn't agreed to you, it's a rejection. Don't waste your time and energy."
After saying that, he moved on to the next person's computer.
Qin Siyang smiled gratefully at the officer, but inside, he thought it was a close call.
He knew the officers would check the browser content, but there was no quick way to generate a large amount of browsing history.
So he chose the simplest browsing content—reading an e-book.
On the desktop was a document file titled "Three Sentences to Make a Goddess Fall for You (Top Secret Collection)."
He opened it and found it indeed taught simps how to please and win the favor of a goddess.
So, he directly scrolled the document to a middle section, pretending to read a downloaded e-book.
The officers searched for a while and found two young men conducting black market transactions online in the Internet cafe, taking them away.
But Qin Siyang felt that the officers' expressions were somewhat grave, indicating that these two were not their real targets.
"Sorry for taking up your time. I hope you don't mind. Net Café Attendant, please add an extra hour of internet time for everyone; the Police Bureau will cover it!"
"Yes, sure, thank you, officer!"
"Thank you, Officer!"
"Thank you! Come back next time, Officer!"
In a cheerful atmosphere, everyone returned to their computers.
Outside, Qin Siyang heard the Internet cafe owner say, "Officer, you keep making surprise inspections these days, taking a few customers from my cafe each time; I can't run my business like this!"
"Boss Wang, we're just following orders from above; I hope you understand."
"Understand? How can I understand? Can't you confirm the suspects before inspecting?"
"The Police Bureau has no authority to check internet addresses or browsing history; we can only conduct on-site inspections. We haven't overstepped by checking your surveillance footage, and we're covering the internet fees. What losses do you have?"
"You! You're being unreasonable!"
Qin Siyang listened with interest.
The Police Bureau had been making surprise inspections these past few days?
Wasn't it right after he committed murder!
Could it really be such a coincidence?
But the officer said they had no authority to check internet addresses or browsing history, which was good news.
But who knows if the officer was telling the truth or not? He still couldn't let his guard down.
Qin Siyang took a deep breath, deciding to open "Godslayer Camp" to continue browsing.
At that moment, a dialog box appeared on his computer screen.
Qin Siyang's eyes widened, feeling a chill down his spine.
He immediately looked towards the bar counter.
The Net Café Attendant was holding a cigarette, smiling at Qin Siyang.
The dialog box on the screen was still flashing.
