Even though Yelai was much faster than Gaze, he still lagged behind by a few seconds before catching up. Distance was distance, and connecting with the window of the soul was a different concept altogether.
Far away, Uncle Zhou rushed over, his eyes bloodshot from the strain.
Xiaoli and the others were not Yelai. They could not withstand Gaze's gaze.
In that moment, Gaze would claim a life.
Yelai frowned slightly.
He had just reached behind Gaze, his hand barely touching Gaze when Gaze suddenly toppled forward from the edge of the rooftop, plummeting to the ground below.
He did not look at Captain Zhao's twisted body lying on the ground.
Instead, he raised his head to look towards Xiaoli and the others.
With a few leaps, he jumped down from the rooftop to stand in front of them.
"Brother Yelai."
Xiao Jun and the other three children were frightened, tears streaming down their faces as they cried. Even though they had seen Yelai descend like a god, effortlessly causing Unknown Horror's Entity to collapse and die with just a touch, they were still terrified.
There was no helping it; the pressure brought by Gaze and Unknown Horror had left a psychological shadow over them.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Brother Yelai is here; I will protect you."
Yelai comforted Xiao Jun and the others while scanning the faces of Xiaoli and the others present.
Perhaps having fought alongside Yelai before made them aware that he was not to be trifled with. This time, after Gaze possessed someone, it did not immediately attack but quietly hid among Xiaoli's group of six.
Now one of you is Gaze, and Brother Yelai will root it out.
But before that, close your eyes to avoid being possessed by Gaze when I expose it.
"Yinlin, don't come over; just stay there and keep your eyes closed."
Zhang Yinlin nodded. She was about a hundred meters away from Xiaoli and the others along with Uncle Zhou and Fifth Squad Captain.
"Yelai, do you know how to identify who Gaze has possessed?"
It was Uncle Zhou who spoke up.
He knew that the only one who could contend with Gaze on-site was Yelai, so he could only ask Yelai to find out more about Gaze. He didn't want to just sit and wait for his fate, so he hurriedly devised a plan for Yelai.
"I understand," Yelai replied.
If anyone present knew Gaze the best, aside from Uncle Zhou, it was Yelai, who had obtained intelligence about Gaze from the Second Squad. Anything possessed by Gaze could disguise itself as a human and imitate their speech and actions, but there was one thing it couldn't imitate: body temperature.
Gaze's body temperature would remain at a certain degree, right? The captain of the Second Squad had told me that the first time they discovered the entity Gaze in a Numbered Protection Zone, it was based on this characteristic that they identified Gaze's possessed target, preventing Gaze from infiltrating the Safe Zone and causing disaster.
"Exactly. Entities like Gaze have strong self-preservation abilities. Once they sense something is wrong, they won't continue attacking; they'll disguise themselves instead. It seems to know you're not provoking it, so it's hiding."
Uncle Zhou closed his eyes, hesitating for a moment before continuing. "Unfortunately, we don't have a way to measure body temperature; otherwise, we could easily determine who Gaze has possessed. Now we can only rely on touch to make a judgment."
Zhang Yinlin frowned as she listened nearby. "This method won't work without measuring body temperature. Touching to feel it is difficult unless someone is sensitive to temperature; otherwise, it's hard to determine an accurate reading down to the decimal point. Moreover, directly touching means getting close to Gaze. What if Gaze suddenly attacks?"
She was worried about Yelai's safety and immediately countered Uncle Zhou's suggestion. The Fifth Squad Captain agreed as well.
"Yinlin is right; the risk for Yelai is too high. Even if a Sequencer ranks higher than an Entity, being attacked up close can still result in injury."
"Let me do it," Zhang Yinlin said firmly, her eyes closed as she made her decision. "I'll touch the body temperature; I'm quite sensitive to temperature and should be able to judge it accurately. Even if Gaze attacks, it will only target me. Once Gaze attacks me, Yelai will be able to immediately determine who Gaze is."
