• Qi Yue explained that he had no need for more equipment because he had already made and hidden useful items in his dorm, while Beixing promised to work hard during the Weekly Assessment.

• Qi Yue warned Zhou Wei that his life mattered more than money, but his Esper Ability failed to affect him, leaving Qi Yue disappointed.

• The two men emerged from a Light Gate in a cave on Katebis Island, concealed their Teleportation Receiver, and set out to find Beixing.

Ron arranged for two Old Humans to assassinate Beixing during the Weekly Assessment, while the Seventh Hunter Academy sent its students to the dangerous YR Research Institute site.

Qi Yue led Beixing deeper into Area F while suspecting that the forbidden Number 8792 was being protected for the benefit of the people controlling the island.

• Qi Yue told Beixing to keep his hood up and follow him, then led him away from the beach.
• As they traveled through Area F, Qi Yue reasoned that the academies’ ban on approaching Number 8792 meant someone wanted to preserve it for its benefits.

Qi Yue left Beixing at a defensible tower and began investigating Area F while planning to hunt its most dangerous Aberrants alone to preserve his Level. He found the area quiet in daylight, confirming that Aberrants appeared with darkness, and continued his reconnaissance.

• Qi Yue followed his planned route through Area F to investigate the locations where the third-level Aberrants appeared, intending to claim them for himself.
• Qi Yue saw only bloodstains and rotting flesh during his daylight reconnaissance and concluded that the Aberrants appeared at night.

Qi Yue went into a cave to distract himself from thoughts of the Aberrants, while Ron’s assassins struggled to identify Beixing among the cloaked students. Their confusion led Ron and Xiao Yiyuan to suspect that someone at the Seventh Hunter Academy had Precognition, and readers in the Real World speculated that Qi Yue had a second Esper Ability.

• Qi Yue discovered the Teleportation Device receiver hidden beneath stones and realized it had been used recently by people besides the academy students.
