After taking a short rest, Gilan sat up, his shirt already soaked with sweat.

He didn't expect that he could succeed in the difficult-to-learn meditation method the first time.

'Is it true that my mysterious talent is very high, but I don't know it? Or is it that I am more in tune with this meditation method?'

Gilan can't help but guess.

He took a deep breath, picked up the red leather handkerchief again, and read the meditation method again.

Meditation method actually has no realm or level, but it is clearly stated that the proficiency determines the efficiency of tempering Gnosis.

Beginners can get started if they can visualize "a stab".

The so-called "thorn" is the illusion that Gilan saw just now - a sharp thorn protruding from the black iron ball and piercing into the center of his eyebrows.

Through the pain of the soul, Gnosis is promoted.

The more "thorns" the practitioner visualizes, the higher the efficiency of exercising Gnosis will be. Of course, the pain will also increase.

Gilan Without hesitation, he secretly said in his heart:

'Iridescence.'

In his eyes, the lottery number "23" dropped to "13".

Gilan With the subsequent enlightenment and meditation method, he can visualize the "two thorns".

'Not enough, not enough.'

He is not satisfied.

'Iridescence!'

The colored number "13" fell again and became "3".

At this time, Gilan's mastery of <Iron Thorn Meditation Method> has risen to a level that an ordinary practitioner can achieve in several years, "Three Thorns".

The practice of meditation is not limited to time and place, but it should not be practiced continuously, as it will cause harm to the brain and spirit.

Gilan suppressed the urge to meditate again and decided to go upstairs to rest.

But he had a hunch that if he practiced again next time, the efficiency of training Gnosis would be three times that of before.

'If this continues, I will be able to officially read <Branding Iron Secret Record> soon.'

Gilan put away the red leather handwritten note with bright eyes.

'At that time, maybe you can also take advantage of the opportunity to step onto the "Path of the Flaming Sword" and become a "Spirit Mystic"!'

Thinking of this, he was in high spirits.

After finishing everything, Gilan turned off the lights in the utility room, closed the door, and went straight upstairs.

However, he met someone in front of his room.

"Miss Seagull?" Gilan asked in confusion.

Under the dim light of the corridor, a young lady was sitting in front of his door, disheveled and with a confused look on her face.

She was holding a bottle of red wine bought from somewhere in her hand, her cheeks were red and she smelled of alcohol.

"You're back after watching the movie..." Miss Seagull chuckled, raised his hand to push the messy hair behind his ears, and said in a mocking tone, "You would rather watch the movie by yourself than accompany me. Why, you don't like me?"

"You're drunk, go back to your room and rest."

Gilan frowned and said in a deep voice.

But Miss Seagull didn't listen. He climbed up on his own, supported the wall with one hand, and carried the wine bottle with the other. He bent over and stared at Gilan with a meaningful look.

The two sides were silent for a few seconds, and she said abruptly:

"Gilan·Iros, I know your secret."

Gilan's pupils shrank.

The first reaction in my heart is, the trump card is exposed?!

The second reaction was, kill her!

Only dead people cannot reveal secrets!

However, Miss Seagull didn't seem to notice the murderous intent flashing in his eyes, or the movement of him slowly withdrawing his hand from his trouser pocket, and smiled to himself:

"I know your past, Mr. Gilan... You grew up in a slum, mixed with gangs, and was arrested and imprisoned for selling illegal alcohol. However, you broke out of the siege and killed all the gang leaders and gang members who betrayed you. Finally, you took True Film Reel from the police station to join Record Society."

"I admire you very much, even admire you."

Miss Seagull staggered forward and almost fell, but was supported by Gilan.

Gilan's eyes flashed, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that there was a misunderstanding and the other party did not know his secret.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened that night, okay?"

Miss Seagull bit her lip, her tone suppressed and pleading.

Her mind flashed back to the marriage her father had imposed on her and the restraints she had been subject to since childhood, and an impulse of rebellion and venting emerged in her heart... So she brought her pretty face closer again, her eyes blurred and said:

"Tonight, I want to sleep in your... room."

"It seems you are quite drunk, Miss Seagull."

Gilan was originally going to say "Don't lose your mind here", but when the words came to his lips, he changed his tune.

He said in a deep voice, grabbing Miss Seagull's hand and preparing to pull her away, but the next second, the woman faintly fell into his arms.

"I'll count to three and get up by myself." Gilan frowned.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

Plop!

Gilan let go of his hand, and the gentle lady lay heavily on the ground.

The wine bottle in her hand rolled around and spilled red wine all over the floor.

"Snoring..." Miss Seagull's messy short black hair stuck to her cheeks, her eyes closed, and she snored softly.

Apparently he had fallen asleep.

Gilan stood there for a while and finally sighed.

He didn't know what kind of stimulation this woman received, or whether it was just her nature, but after all, the woman had helped him and was also a member of the Assembly. He finally bent down and hugged Miss Seagull.

Then, she climbed the wooden steps to the second floor, sent her back to her room "205", and placed her gently on the bed.

Gilan casually pulled the quilt and covered her body, not caring that the quilt covered her face, turned around, locked the door behind her, and left straight away.

Return to room "301" on the third floor.

Gilan was about to go to the bathroom to take a bath, but suddenly stopped.

'No!'

His brows were furrowed and his eyes scanned every corner of the room.

A feeling like a light on his back suddenly appeared, as if someone was staring at him!

But soon, Gilan discovered that this feeling of being stared at did not come from a dark place in the room, but from outside the apartment.

This is an inexplicable intuition that someone wants to harm him!

'It's because of the improvement of Gnosis that I have the ability to predict danger... No, no, this is some kind of mysterious locking and connection that touched my Gnosis.'

Gilan Thoughts flashed across his mind.

Before, he probably wouldn't have noticed it, but after practicing the meditation method, his Gnosis has reached a new level and become more sensitive.

The source of the mysterious connection was easily determined.

Bang!

He took a step forward and rushed to the window.

He turned sideways and hid in the shadows, peeking out the window at the street with half his face.

A hundred meters away, I saw a young man wearing a beret walking slowly along the road. He was holding a photo in his hand, raised his head and closed his eyes. As he walked, he seemed to be sensing something.

It's like having a sleepwalking attack.

'That's him...' Gilan's eyes showed surprise. 'There is something wrong with this person. He can sense my presence and is coming for me!'

At this moment, many speculations flashed through Gilan's mind, but in the end, he decided to take the initiative and never let the other party find this place.

Once the Assembly apartment where he is hiding is exposed, it will be difficult for him to find a new shelter. Moreover, Mr. Stork still has a reel of film in his hand that he has not read. Gilan is not going to give up just like that.

'Police station? Louis Family? Or other forces?'

Gilan gradually showed murderous intent on his face.

'Whoever wants to harm me should die!'

Ugh!

He didn't wear a windbreaker, so he picked up his hat and opened the door. He walked downstairs like a gust of wind, then left the apartment and ran towards the other side of the street.

Gilan plans to lure that person away first and then see what the other person's purpose is.

Once he finds out that the other person wants to harm him, he will kill him without hesitation.
