Seigetsu Zhu looked quite worried and confirmed with him several times before leaving, making sure that his physical condition was really fine.

Sunny Xu watched her figure walk away and realized that he was sweating cold.

Is this my "ability" ...?

This was the first thought that came to his mind.

He and Starry Lin had joked about this topic before, and he had even fantasized about the abilities he might have, but he never thought that this speculation would become a reality so quickly.

Sunny Xu once again realized clearly that the house really changed everyone who entered it.

However, unlike Starry Lin, he did not find any monsters from "another world" around him, but he "saw" the strange experiences of Shi Hui and his companions in the haunted house through the teeth that were knocked out.

In short, by touching the items left by others, he could sense their presence and read the things that had happened to them... Sunny Xu realized that what he had just done was more like traditional superpowers.

The books he used to love reading the most were "UFO Events: A Great Record" or "Unsolved Mysteries of the World," which mentioned a lot about superpowers. Since the rise of human science, there have been countless rumors about superpower users all over the world, and even a research frenzy about superpowers at the national level.

For children of Sunny Xu's age, the popularity of qigong had not passed for too long.

Sunny Xu felt that his experience just now was similar to what was mentioned in the books, such as "telepathy" or "spiritual communication."

Similar examples were common and often happened to parents and children who were thousands of miles apart or to twin siblings. For example, if one of them had an accident and suffered a serious injury, the other would accidentally cut their finger or feel difficulty breathing at the same time.

This ability did not seem to be suitable for direct combat and might not be as spectacular as Starry Lin's.

But before feeling disappointed, Sunny Xu remembered the scene he had seen in the haunted house and couldn't help but shudder. In any case, he was better off than those three unlucky guys.

He didn't care much about Shi Hui and the others' experiences; those guys deserved it. But the images he read from Shi Hui's memories had already confirmed several previous speculations, such as the fact that the insect monster was indeed released by the old man's ghost.

This meant that the appearance of the ghost in the alley last night was not a coincidence; it was targeting Sunny Xu and the others! Perhaps because they were not possessed by the insect monster, the ghost lurking in the haunted house took action personally.

The crisis they were facing was not resolved. In this situation, if he used this ability to gather information, it could give them an advantage and provide many conveniences for their actions.

"So, let's go home first today."

Sunny Xu was not in the mood to study with the Class 5 monitor at the moment. He just wanted to go home early and try out his new ability. And most importantly—

To tell this news to his best friend.

*

His sister still hadn't returned home.

In the phone call that day, she mentioned that the police were busy with a major case recently, and it was uncertain when it would end.

Starry Lin was not here either; she had gone home. He could only wait for her to come or tell her the good news tomorrow.

Sunny Xu didn't feel lonely alone; after all, he had things to do. He put down his school bag eagerly, even temporarily putting aside his homework, and took out paper and pen to prepare a plan.

The tooth could only provide this level of information. He had to find a way to test his ability on others and other things, to determine its scope of application and effectiveness mechanism, and so on.

Moreover, the potential of this ability should be more than that. Because...

Sunny Xu thought for a moment, then stood up and ran back to his room.

He pulled out a neatly stacked pile of books tied with plastic ropes from under the bed. They were all idle books he loved to read when he was a child. He randomly picked a few and started flipping through them.

"Yes, this one... Telepathy is a complex category in parapsychology..."

He murmured to himself.

It also said that there was an ability called "psychography," which could display information related to the designated object on surfaces such as water, paper, or television screens. It was said that scientists from a neighboring country had conducted experiments decades ago, and they were successful;

There was also another ability called "remote sensing," which could clearly grasp the geographical environment and human things near a designated location far away, even to the extent of seeing every blade of grass and every tree. It was said that during the Cold War, both sides had specially trained soldiers with this ability for use in warfare...

All of the above were written in the books. Sunny Xu used to be fascinated for a while, but now, all of them had possibilities—

Sunny Xu shook his head and focused his mind.

His science teacher in the first year of high school had said that the result of an experiment conducted only once was likely to be a coincidence. It needed to go through control and repeated experiments to eliminate external factors before drawing conclusions.

So, first, he had to try other targets.

After making a decision, Sunny Xu quickly ran to his sister's room.

His sister's room was still as clean and simple as ever, with scarce personal belongings at first glance. Essential items for daily life had been taken away, and it didn't look like a girl's room at all.

He could try the beddings, Sunny Xu thought, but Starry Lin had used them yesterday. Would there be a "overlap" situation?

With a change of mind, Sunny Xu opened the wardrobe.

There were only two types of coats that his sister had in there: a police uniform and a black suit, all neatly hung there.The sight inside the wardrobe was hard to imagine for a young woman. Sunny Xu, however, was unfazed. He casually picked out an outfit and laid it on the bed.

"Alright, let's see what my sister is up to!"

Sunny Xu stretched his wrists and neck, warming up his body. His eyes were fixed on the target item without blinking. Then, he reached out his hand towards the clothes on the bed and took a deep breath—

"Huha!"

He shouted loudly.

...There was no reaction.

Sunny Xu was a bit puzzled, so he simply switched to a Kamehameha pose.

"Huha!"

Still no reaction.

He scratched his cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed.

If anyone else was present, they would definitely think he was going crazy.

Sunny Xu tried another set of clothes, but the result was the same.

"Hmm, could it be because I don't wear them often?"

He ran to the desk and took a pen from the pen holder. This was a commemorative pen that his sister often carried with her. It had been used for a long time and was the "item" with the closest relationship.

Sunny Xu repeated the same actions with the pen on the bed, but the result was the same.

He couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that just using an "item" is not enough, and it must be a part of the body?

So, Sunny Xu took out the clothes one by one, even using a magnifying glass to carefully search through them. Finally, he found a long hair belonging to his sister on the collar of one of the clothes.

Sunny Xu stood by the bed and pretended to cast a spell for a while.

"…Hmm, still no reaction. How strange."

Theoretically, if teeth can work, there's no reason hair can't.

On one hand, both have small volumes. Teeth contain genetic material, but so does hair. The main component of hair is protein, and its base has living cells, which contain genetic material. For this reason, whether the police can find the victim's and the murderer's fallen hair at the scene is very important for solving the case, the same goes for nails and so on.

On the other hand, if we look at it from a more mysterious, less "scientific" perspective... Sunny Xu had heard that some witch doctors and wizards in remote primitive tribes would use teeth as a medium for casting spells.

But if we go by this logic, hair is obviously more representative than teeth. In ancient times, people would put hair into straw dolls to curse others, which is the so-called "voodoo doll"—and there are more than one country with this tradition.

So, is the problem with the object?

Compared to his sister, Shi Hui might possess some special characteristics, the source of which is self-evident. If that's the case, then—

Sunny Xu's gaze once again wandered around the bedroom.

Unfortunately, Starry Lin didn't leave any personal items behind.

Right, he suddenly remembered something and quickly ran to the bathroom.

"…Band-aid, it's really here."

Sunny Xu saw a torn band-aid on the edge of the washbasin.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawℝead.com ].

When he got up this morning, he didn't see Starry Lin with a band-aid on her face and casually asked about it. At that time, the girl happily told him that she was lucky not to have a scar on her face.

"I feel like my actions are a bit perverted."

Sunny Xu thought to himself as he picked up the band-aid.

But at that moment, something stirred within him.

The feeling he had when he picked up Shi Hui's tooth resurfaced.

…Indeed.

Sunny Xu no longer hesitated, his eyes slightly closed.

*

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself walking at a leisurely pace down a narrow, long street.

The image was blurry and dim, as if he was in a dream, just like when he was with Shi Hui.

Is this a memory, or is it her now?

Sunny Xu blinked. He couldn't turn his neck or move his eyes, he could only observe from a "third-person" perspective.

He calmly observed for a while and found that there was no band-aid on his face, and he was still wearing his school uniform. So…

Sunny Xu was overjoyed, his ability could not only be used to observe the past but also to peek into the present!

But he soon felt that something was wrong.

Where had Starry Lin gone? Sunny Xu wondered, shouldn't she be at home at this time?

At that moment, he noticed that his friend was looking up.

In the dim, lightless view, a square building full of windows stood in the distance.

There was a small cross at the top of the building.

The sun was setting, and the twilight could hardly illuminate the gloomy sky. A group of crows was flying above the street.

It was a hospital.

Sunny Xu recognized it, it was the Second People's Hospital of Jinjiang City, located a few blocks away.

Then, he heard a soft "huh?" in his ear.

Click.

As if someone had turned off the screen, the image in front of Sunny Xu disappeared in an instant.
