At that moment, Qian Tong truly could not see any people or scenery.
Perhaps because of her eyes, however, she had been able to see countless "lines" since childhood. In her eyes, the entire world seemed to consist of all sorts of strange "lines," and her precognitive ability came from seeing their trajectories clearly and predicting what would happen.
If she wanted to, she could naturally touch these "lines" as well. But forcibly changing their trajectories would subject her to a certain amount of backlash.

She knew only one thing: the more black "lines" wrapped around someone, the more their personality would change. Once the lines reached a certain number, that person would inevitably die within a few days.
