Spiritualists possessed various unusual abilities that typically appeared randomly.

One type possessed innate spiritual powers from birth, which was an existence that special organizations valued and cultivated.

The other type of Spiritualist acquired their powers, and those powers were unpredictable.

The acquired type was often difficult to deal with because they usually acquired their spiritual powers after traumatizing ordeals.

The former might not be aware of their own powers in childhood, and discovery of their powers in adulthood usually caused confusion and disorientation.

They caused a lot of trouble for their organization.

Generally speaking, natural-born Spiritualists were usually very powerful. The latter type of Spiritualists was often full of resentment towards the world and was more vulnerable to becoming demonized.

Demonized Spiritualists wreaked havoc on society. Only people with strong morals could resist demonization and use their Spiritual powers for the right purposes.

Their organization was composed of Spiritualists who looked for those demonized Spiritualists, then arrested them and imprisoned them–or eliminated them directly.

They were called the Spiritual Group.

Humans didn’t know about them, but they had a duty to protect humans and maintain order in this world.

So far, they only knew that Spiritualists had a variety of power characteristics according to the individual, and they could only broadly categorize them.

The incident in the mall was a crisis, and Cao Yikai had just happened to be there at the time. Who would have thought that the demonized Spiritualist he was chasing after had no demonized Seed of Spirituality at all?

Seeds of Spirituality existed in bodies with special powers. They could only be seen by special inspection devices, but they could not be taken out or touched. Seeds of Spirituality became one with the Spiritualist. Once Seeds of Spirituality were broken, the Spiritualist would also die.

Now, not only was there a living demonized Spiritualist who had no Seed of Spirituality, but there was also a monster that might have the ability to seize Seeds of Spirituality from others.

After all, even with their limited knowledge, they knew that having this frightening power to snatch away other people’s Seeds of Spirituality definitely wasn’t a good thing.

(In the distance, Qiao Jin felt herself being mentioned.)

The woman with the ponytail and the white coat was the leader of the third team of the Spiritual Group, Yao. The Spiritual Group had many team members, and each group was separate from the others. They worked for different families and organizations because cultivating a Spiritualist wasn’t easy.

Not only did they have to protect humans, but they also had to be wary of revenge from some rogue Spiritualists and threats from demonized Spiritualists.

But the Spiritual Group had its own headquarters, and only the headquarters had information on each group’s Spiritualists.

Cao Yikai and the others were her subordinates.

He Yao not only was the captain, but she also had a normal job as a forensic doctor. Sometimes, she investigated the abnormalities associated with demonized Spiritualists.

Yi Shuo Dai, the young fashionable girl, had only started high school this year, but she had become a member of the third team very early on.

This news wasn’t good, and Yi Shuo Dai felt a little panicked. “Uh, does this monster that can snatch other people’s Seeds of Spirituality pose a threat to us?”

He Yao used a pen to click on the document, then said with a serious expression, “It’s hard to tell.”

Cao Yikai thought of what had happened in the mall, and he remembered the mall incident’s video footage. He had wanted to investigate it, but he kept having problems. Suddenly, he said, “I might know who it is. But I have no hard evidence.”

He Yao immediately looked at him. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Cao Yikai smiled bitterly and said, “We’re not sure, but there were many accidents when we were investigating her. Let’s have a meeting. and I will tell you about her.”
