Occupation/Role	Researcher; direct supervisor and handler for Anomaly Hunters, including Sun Hang
First Appearance	Chapter 15

Background / History

Yang Qi was assigned as Sun Hang's direct supervisor when he became a registered Hunter. She describes the Hunter–supervisor relationship as comparable to that of a celebrity and an agent: Hunters can bring operational and personal problems directly to their supervisor. She also explains that Hunters are not subordinate to the Investigation Bureau. 16 17

Her teacher is the director of the Tianfu City Anomaly Research Institute and Wang Xiyi's direct supervisor. Yang Qi is not cleared to access every Hunter's classified infection and ability records, which are restricted to direct supervisors and senior Federation or military officials. 16

Yang Qi's sister is Yang Lian. Yang Lian was later hospitalized in intensive care, and was subsequently suspected of carrying an Anomaly embryo. Yang Qi opposed forcibly removing it because the procedure could cause Yang Lian to become infected. 208 496 502

Appearance

Yang Qi is commonly seen in research attire, including a white coat and goggles. 267

• Wears goggles while conducting field or research work. 230 267
• Uses a specially made bracelet identifying her direct responsibility for Sun Hang. 447
• Severe overwork left her pale and haggard, with dark circles, bloodshot eyes, and an elevated heart rate. 332

Personality

Yang Qi is professional, direct, and highly responsive during anomaly incidents. She answers Sun Hang's questions about Hunter regulations, classified information, and threats without concealing the limits of her own authority. When he reported a possible Anomaly sighting during his time off, she immediately alerted the Disaster Response Committee and coordinated a search. 16 19 116

She values planning, evidence, and operational safety. During the Liangshui Gully investigation, she challenged Sun Hang's decision to act on intuition, but ultimately trusted him and joined the mission rather than let him proceed alone. 210

Her commitment regularly turns into overwork. She resorted to stimulants, missed an important meeting concerning an armored combat suit, and eventually required seventy-two hours in a medical pod to recover from exhaustion. 332 362

Yang Qi is particularly protective of Sun Hang. She repeatedly invokes her responsibility for his safety, worries when he becomes unreachable, and insists on accompanying him into dangerous situations despite his attempts to leave her behind. 100 210 261

Abilities & Skills

Story Role / Major Arcs

Sun Hang's Hunter Assignment

Yang Qi becomes Sun Hang's direct supervisor, introduces him to the limits and privileges of Hunter status, issues his tracker, and helps establish his new residence and working arrangements. 16 17 18

Blood Moon and Longyanlei Operations

During the Blood Moon incident, Yang Qi leads a field team into the anomaly zone and coordinates with the Research Institute to determine that the apparent Blood Moon belongs to a past spacetime anomaly. 22

When Longyanlei threatens Tianfu City, she supports Sun Hang's proposal to contact Bao Si and provides the crucial identification of Bao Si's Charm anomaly. 95

Eternal Night Investigations

Yang Qi supports the citywide Anomaly-tracking mission by providing research, communications, and tactical information. She and Ye Xuan assist Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi during the ancient battlefield battle. 93 99

She also coordinates investigations into B-92 “Blazing Sun,” the disappearances in Qiang villages, and the anomalous Nuoxi masks in Qiujiawan. 207 209 210 212

Sun Hang's Meme Monitoring

After Sun Hang absorbs Wang Xiyi's mutated meme, Yang Qi becomes alarmed when his recorded meme frequency remains essentially unchanged. She suspects the Taotie meme may have assimilated the Black Dragon meme, but the readings remain inconclusive. 221

Chimera Seventeen Crisis

Yang Qi continues to coordinate operations during the Chimera Seventeen crisis while struggling with escalating anxiety and fatigue. She wears the bracelet symbolizing her responsibility for Sun Hang and fears he may not survive at the blast epicenter. 332 333 447

Later Tianfu City Investigations

Yang Qi directs Wang Xiyi's Jinlu County investigation into Qiao Liu and the A11 organization, providing Yao Yu's watch for detecting same-source Oddities. 398 399

After Yang Lian is found to be carrying a suspected Anomaly embryo, Yang Qi advocates leaving the embryo undisturbed due to the risk that removal could infect her sister. 496 502

• Sun Hang calls her a workaholic; she does not meaningfully dispute the accusation. 225
• Her exhaustion became severe enough that Song Yarong judged it would have been easier to find her a coffin than a medical pod. 362
