Just as his thoughts connected to the puppet in the sea of his mind, Su Xiao once again experienced that magical vision.

It was as if there was a camera three feet above his head, overlooking the surrounding situation!

Clear, distinct...

Everything around him was vividly clear, every tiny detail came into view.

He could see every person's appearance and expression in the entire carriage, the creases and styles of their clothes, every detail of their attire...

All of it came into view, incredibly clear.

The human brain simply cannot collect and process so much information simultaneously. Su Xiao knew that the human brain would ignore unimportant information, discarding it as irrelevant noise.

But now, Su Xiao clearly perceived everything around him without even focusing his attention, effortlessly accomplishing this difficult task.

Moreover, Su Xiao heard many subtle sounds: faint conversations, friction, vibrations... These sounds, usually ignored by the brain, now played a unique symphony he had never heard before.

The whole world looked different to him.

Earlier, Su Xiao had only tried this in a secluded place and hadn’t noticed this.

“What is this…”

Su Xiao was surprised to see a person lying on top of the subway car!

The person was wearing the exoskeleton of the armed police, lying quietly on the top, like a black gecko.

Su Xiao turned his head, trying to see with his own eyes.

He saw nothing.

“Is it an armed police practitioner here to protect this subway car?” Su Xiao thought.

“I wonder how he’s hidden, is he in the spiritual realm, or is it just an optical illusion…”

“Could it be similar to chameleon camouflage…”

With this novel perception, Su Xiao conducted one experiment and calculation after another on his own state using the psychic theories he had learned.

“Maintaining this perception state doesn’t cause any fatigue, indicating no mental power consumption, or the consumption rate is less than the normal recovery rate.”

“This perception state has the ability to see through invisibility, and greatly enhances perception, hmm… it also seems to improve memory.”

“It’s unclear what type of ability it is to see through invisibility, I hope it’s ‘True Sight’, which can see through not just optical illusions but also spiritual entities… but even normal invisibility detection is impressive. Current technologies to see through invisibility aren’t civilianized yet, and military invisibility detection heavily relies on psychic items.”

“And one more thing, in this perception state, I seem to be calmer, more rational… I should be very excited logically speaking!”

Thinking of this, Su Xiao couldn’t help but feel excited.

This is his “ability”, the “superpower” he had been pursuing for so long without any trace! Su Xiao quickly calmed down, his excitement was suppressed by rational analysis.

“The puppet floating in the sea of thoughts… I haven’t encountered this before.”

“Practicing ‘Universal Meditation Method’ should reveal dust, starlight, stars, not a strange puppet.”

“Could it be that an evil entity has possessed me? But that doesn’t make sense, I’m just an ordinary person, what evil entity would be so bored to parasitize me from a young age, what are they after…”

“Hmm, let me write this down first, check it online later…”

“Let’s see if this state can be turned on and off at will…”

With the aid of meditation, Su Xiao tried several times and quickly figured out how to exit this perception state.

“Entering this perception state requires making that weird posture or entering deep meditation, which is somewhat inconvenient. I can try to hypnotize myself to trigger it with a simple action…”

The psychic theories he learned in college were now helpful, introducing techniques like this! Su Xiao chose to use the action of knocking his forehead with his fist, implanting it as a psychological suggestion to turn this perception state on and off.

He also named this perception state: Divine Vision Three Feet Above! Su Xiao repeatedly knocked his forehead, each knock connecting to the puppet in the sea of thoughts, and the second knock would let his thoughts fluctuate, exiting the “Divine Vision Three Feet Above” state.

If anyone around Su Xiao were watching, they would see a strange sight: a young man, expressionless, continuously knocking his forehead.

“Command, 014 reporting, there’s a situation in car 014, a young man seems to be possessed by an evil entity, continuously knocking his forehead, very strange, please check if he passed the spiritual detection before entering the station.”

The practitioner lying on the subway car quietly spoke, transmitting his voice into the earpiece.

Just as he spoke, he saw the young man stop his actions and even subconsciously glanced in his direction.

This glance almost made the practitioner lose his grip on the train top.

“014, Hong Jun has reviewed the surveillance footage and records, the young man has no issues, but remain vigilant…”

The practitioner breathed a sigh of relief but did not fully relax, keeping a close watch on Su Xiao, ready to engage at any moment.

“It should be just a coincidence…” he thought.

Su Xiao had a strange expression.

Practicing his ability control here, but being mistaken for possession by an evil entity.

What a grievance! Do modern practitioners have no common sense! This is clearly practicing psychological suggestion! To avoid scaring this fellow, Su Xiao decisively stopped trying, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if something happened because of him.

However, after a brief practice, Su Xiao had almost mastered the control of “Divine Vision Three Feet Above”, only needing some practice for stable activation.

Su Xiao glanced at the map in the upper right corner of his glasses.

“Next stop is coming… Time flies.” He muttered internally.

After arriving at the subway station, Su Xiao had to go to the nearby Shuangle North Station to pick someone up.

…

At the high-speed rail exit, Su Xiao was squeezed among the crowd of people waiting to pick up others.

He raised his head, adjusting his “sign”.

It was a virtual ‘bubble’ that existed only in augmented reality glasses, looking like the speech bubbles in comics, in which Su Xiao wrote his name, setting it to be visible to friends only.

Next was the waiting.

There were two exits here, one for pedestrians and the other for bio-engineered humans, with different inspections.

“Not here yet?” Su Xiao typed on an invisible keyboard in the air, asking the person he was picking up.

A chat window formed in his left eye’s glasses.

Fat Cat: Not here yet?

Knight Princess: Almost there~ Glancing at the other’s avatar, Su Xiao couldn’t help but sneer.

How old are you, still using this kind of anime knight girl avatar.

Isn’t a cat avatar better? Due to the excitement of awakening his ability, Su Xiao felt particularly cheerful today, his thoughts lively.

At the exit, another wave of people approached.

Among them, the most noticeable was a beautiful girl with medium-length hair, wearing a dark sailor suit with a skirt just barely covering her knees, tied with a white tie, and a small badge on her chest like a staff ID.

If it were just that, it wouldn’t be so noticeable, but the most striking part was that this girl had a straight sword at her waist, the scabbard black with gold accents, and looked very ancient. Her right hand was pulling a silver suitcase with wheels. Additionally, her whole body was covered in an exoskeleton, her head covered by a full-face mask, her spine and limbs, even the joints of her fingers and toes, covered with a layer of reflective silver exoskeleton. This set of exoskeleton was obviously not any civilian or medical brand on the market, it was military grade.

Classical and modern, weak and strong, seemed to perfectly combine at this moment, exemplifying the beauty of this era.

The girl showed a sunny and beautiful smile to the inspection staff at the exit, simultaneously displaying her chest badge with a photo and QR code: Rosalie
