Chen Tiannan's face filled with alarm when he heard talk of "returning to the outpost to notify the Squad Leader." "Patrol Captain Cheng, could there be an Anomaly?"
The others went pale as well.
Cheng Han did not answer. He merely raised his voice. "Return to the house immediately and lock the doors. Do not leave the house under any circumstances. Understood?"
He said "do not leave the house" because he had lived inside for a day, leaving behind his personal aura. That was, in fact, an added layer of protection.
Chen Tiannan did not dare ask more questions. Trembling, he nodded. "Understood."
The group rushed back into the house and shut the front doors tightly.
Cheng Han stood motionless in the snow, staring at a corner of the backyard, as still as a mountain.
Chen Tiannan had guessed correctly.
An Anomaly had indeed appeared here.
Just moments ago.
When the child had uttered that foolish remark, the Eye of Omniscience had passively activated.
It showed him an illusion: after the playing crowd dispersed, a servant came over to clean up. As he approached the corner, his body suddenly froze, his face twisted in utter terror.
Then something horrifying happened.
The servant's body gradually turned hazy, like Pencil writing being erased by an Eraser. Before long, he vanished completely, leaving behind only a trail of footprints.
At that point—
The illusion ended.
Cheng Han had immediately driven everyone back into the mansion.
About two seconds later, the Anomaly appeared.
In other words, this had been a prediction made in advance.
The key point was—advance.
Cheng Han felt both delight and worry. The Eye of Omniscience has reached Level 5. It really is extraordinary. It can actually foresee the appearance of an Anomaly.
