Hearing this, Yin Ge could not help but sigh inwardly.
She knew that once midnight arrived tonight, Zhang Zichen would definitely make up his mind to transfer schools.
When that happened, the Daylight Faction would fail, and everyone in it would be erased.
Therefore, she had to quickly find out what would make Zhang Zichen resolve to transfer.
Without question, the reason had to lie with the school belle, the school bully, the sports committee member, and the homeroom teacher.
But the problem was that Yin Ge currently had no chance to come into contact with any of them.
The entire morning was nearly over, yet she had only met the principal and the grade-level director.
At this rate, she would never find Beasthood... Yin Ge began thinking rapidly.
If she could not influence the dorm supervisor's actions, how could she see the others?
Observation Persona!
Only Observation Persona could let Yin Ge see what everyone else was doing.
Even if using Observation Persona accelerated her death, it was still better than dying in the Son of Heaven Game right now.
If she waited any longer, it would truly be too late!
Looking at the vast campus, Yin Ge immediately made a decision.
Use Observation Persona!
Thus, after the dorm supervisor returned to the dormitory, Yin Ge immediately focused her gaze on the bathroom mirror.
The instant her gaze touched the mirror, a piercing pain shot through her left eye.
It felt as though her entire eye had been ground apart and torn to shreds.
At the same time, the dorm supervisor's left eye bulged, as if something were trying to break through it.
As the pain in Yin Ge's eye intensified, the dorm supervisor's eyeball suddenly exploded, leaving behind only an empty socket.
Blood slowly crawled across the eye socket like slender worms.
Yet he continued acting normally, eating when he was supposed to eat and sleeping when he was supposed to sleep.
Along with the pain, the outline of a school appeared in Yin Ge's mind.
As her consciousness grew clearer, scenes throughout the school containing mirrors gradually came into focus as well.
With a thought, she swiftly found Zhang Zichen's classroom and peeped into the entire room through a girl's compact mirror.
At that moment, Zhang Zichen, the school bully, the school belle, the sports committee member, and the others were listening to class while the homeroom teacher taught them.
Everything appeared perfectly normal.
Only a blood-red eye had suddenly appeared on the surface of one girl's compact mirror.
It was Yin Ge's eye!
At the same time, that eye appeared in all manner of reflective surfaces.
The eye was within the mirrors, as though it had been reflected there, yet there was actually no eye outside any mirror.
This was Observation Persona.
Eerie and powerful.
As Yin Ge peeped at Zhang Zichen and the others, she also gradually brought the entire school within the scope of her surveillance through all kinds of mirrors.
Bang.
At the same time, Zhang Zichen's parents had already left the principal's office.
The two walked toward the school gates. The amiability from before was gone from their faces, replaced by exhaustion as they argued.
"Have a second child? You make it sound so easy. How are we supposed to raise one after it's born?" Zhang Zichen's mother looked furious.
"We can barely afford to raise Zhang Zichen as it is."
Zhang Zichen's father sighed. "But Zichen is like this now, so he can't carry on the Zhang family line. Is our family line really going to end here?"
"Are you blaming me?" Zhang Zichen's mother's voice choked up. "You say we should have another child, but what about Zichen if we do?"
"The teachers call every other day. It's already exhausting enough. How could I possibly run back and forth between both sides in the future?"
Hearing that, Zhang Zichen's father fell silent as well.
Zhang Zichen's mother raised a hand to wipe away her tears. "When I was young, I worked like a beast of burden for your parents. Now that I'm old, not only can I not enjoy any comfort, I still have to work like a beast of burden for Zichen."
"Why is my life so miserable?"
"Stop saying that." Zhang Zichen's father let out a long sigh. "You can only say these things to me. Don't let Zichen hear them, or he'll be unhappy again."
"I know." Zhang Zichen's mother nodded helplessly. "I just hope things will get better after he transfers."
The two left the school, but Yin Ge committed their words to memory.
Other than that, almost nothing unusual happened throughout the afternoon.
With only two hours left until six o'clock, Yin Ge peeped more and more carefully, yet she still found no useful information.
Was she really going to have to rely on Godhead to deduce who possessed Beasthood? Yin Ge remained incomparably calm.
As she peeped, she rapidly reviewed everything that had happened over the past few days, along with everyone's Godhead.
But then, another burst of searing pain came from her left eye, while her mind felt as though it were being pricked by needles.
Yin Ge knew this was because she had used Observation Persona for too long. The Observation Persona within her body was sending out warning signals.
Her consciousness grew somewhat hazy, and she faintly sensed flames burning inside her body, as if something were rapidly draining away.
But she had no time to worry about that, because she had to use Observation Persona if she wanted to find Beasthood.
Otherwise, before Observation Persona could consume her, she would die in the Son of Heaven Game!
With that in mind, Yin Ge ignored the agonizing pain in her left eye and gritted her teeth as she continued peeping.
Soon, the break before the final class arrived.
The school belle immediately sat in front of the school bully's desk, but he did not even look at her. Instead, he walked straight to Zhang Zichen's desk and casually asked, "Your parents came earlier?"
"Yeah, they brought me to school." Zhang Zichen sounded happy.
"Oh~" The school bully drew out the final syllable, sounding somewhat absentminded.
Then, as if he had thought of something, a radiant smile appeared on his face. "I heard you're thinking about transferring schools?"
"I haven't decided yet." Zhang Zichen sounded a little dejected. "I don't really want to leave you. You're my best friend."
"It's fine. Even if you transfer, we'll still be best friends." The school bully smiled. "I prepared a gift for you and left it in the dorm. Remember to go take a look later."
"A gift?" Zhang Zichen was somewhat surprised. "Why did you prepare that?"
"Just think of it as a farewell gift." The school bully did not say much else.
"Zhang Zichen!"
The homeroom teacher's voice interrupted them.
"Back to your seats. Class is about to start. What are you all gathering around for?" She frowned.
The school bully smiled. "Got it, teacher."
As he spoke, he bent down beside Zhang Zichen's ear and quickly said, "The homeroom teacher also asked me to give you a letter. Remember to read it!"
After saying that, he slowly returned to his own seat.
Seeing this, Yin Ge remembered the gift lying quietly on Zhang Zichen's bed, as well as that letter.
Her thoughts churned. Could the thing that made Zhang Zichen resolve to transfer be related to the gift and the letter?
Aside from those two items, there seemed to be no other suspicious objects or events.
Through the mirror, she glanced at the clock.
It was half past five. Only thirty minutes remained!
Time was running out. She had to try!
Yin Ge hurriedly focused her attention on Zhang Zichen's dormitory.
As luck would have it, there was a mirror on one of his roommate's desks.
That was the one!
Yin Ge activated the peeping and control abilities of her left eye. An inexplicable Law surged frantically toward the roommate outside the mirror.
Peeping was for better control!
The next moment, under Yin Ge's control, the roommate stood up. Then, with mechanical numbness, he walked to Zhang Zichen's bed and reached for the two items.
The gift and the letter.
