Background & History

Guo Shuai was a student and Yang Wei's close friend before the pair entered the Watcher Scarecrow's wheat field. During their attempt to survive, Yang Wei was killed by a monster disguised as Bai Lianhua, buying Guo Shuai time to escape. Guo Shuai fled despite wanting revenge, resolving to survive because Yang Wei had died for him. He later recovered Yang Wei's cherished compass from the ashes left behind after the wheat field vanished. 16 17 19

Initially an overlooked classmate with a charred, blinded left eye and only D-class Danger Sense, Guo Shuai was offered the Eye of Calamity by Jiangnan. Refusing to remain weak or become a mindless slaughtering entity, he implanted the A-class artifact into his empty eye socket and resisted its possession attempt. Jiangnan subsequently accepted him into the team and placed him under Wang Meng's guidance. 20 21

He became the team's scout during the investigation of the cursed school. Although terrified by the valley and its hidden monsters, he forced himself to investigate because he considered himself the team's eyes. There he acquired weapons and intelligence, while his Eye of Calamity's resident consciousness became known as Fite Albert. 33 34 35

Within the school's Ghost Realm, Guo Shuai received Learn and Apply from Albert and used a copied Wind Pressure to defeat Wandering Corpses. The feat exhausted him severely and damaged his Magic Core, reinforcing the gap between possessing a powerful technique and having the physical capacity to wield it. 40 41

After the battle against the Faceless Man Principal, Guo Shuai found and chose to raise the Divine Fetus Circle, despite Circle calling him “Mommy” at first. He viewed raising Circle as a chance to become a Chosen of God and eventually fulfill his promise to show Yang Wei the Barbaric Realm. 78 95

During the hospital and Soul Return Town incidents, Guo Shuai repeatedly fought beside Circle, protected him from armed humans and supernatural enemies, and continued seeking Jiangnan whenever the team was separated. Following later battles and Circle's loss, Guo Shuai awakened the World Tree ability, briefly losing control as the tree attempted to assimilate him. 95 116 119 350 359

Personality

Guo Shuai begins as an anxious survivor who openly recognizes his own weakness. Yang Wei's death, his near-possession by the Eye of Calamity, and repeated humiliations leave him desperate to prove that he is not worthless. Even when frightened, he chooses to act when his team needs information or protection. 17 21 34 41

He is intensely devoted to Jiangnan, whom he calls “Boss” rather than captain and reveres as a god. This faith makes him obedient to Jiangnan's orders, hostile toward anyone who disparages him, and determined to become “the sharpest blade” in Jiangnan's hand. 35 95 191

Guo Shuai is also impulsive, theatrical, and prone to crude humor. He enjoys posing dramatically when using Wind Pressure, argues constantly with Albert, and can become irrationally defensive of Jiangnan's image. 36 41 196
