Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Ordinary rabbit form	2 3	Awakens as a small white rabbit after disappearing inside an escape-room box. Retains human intelligence; NAT’s examination initially identifies him as healthy and ordinary.
Danger-sensing ability	3	Discovers an unusually certain sixth sense and warns Lei about the Heteromorph attack in the Botanical Garden.
Empowered rabbit form	5	Following his imprisonment and accidental swallowing of a mysterious white blob, develops glowing red eyes, sharp claws, and immense strength during the desert battle. Remains conscious, but loses the enhanced form after destroying the enemy’s artificial heart.
Temporary human form	6 10	Becomes human while escaping NAT Base, although he initially cannot speak and soon begins regaining rabbit traits. Later identifies contact with Shi Jinse’s mutant blood as the trigger, rather than biting alone.
Blood-pill-enhanced human form	11	Takes a pill made from Shi’s blood, temporarily becoming human and acquiring spatial abilities. Can destroy a Laser Net and lift Damon into the air, but the unfamiliar power abruptly stops working. No personal Heteromorph rank is established.

Background / History

As a child, Qin was skinny, short, timid, and gentle. Other children teased him for looking like a girl, and few wanted to play with him. His longing for someone who would stay beside him later shapes his response to Lei Ouyan’s loneliness. He eventually acquired a golden retriever named Commander, who remains with him in his original world 3.

By high school, Qin is a top student whose classmates rely on him as their escape-room strategist. During summer vacation, he reluctantly joins them at the Escape Room of Death. He chooses a seemingly peaceful scenario, unaware that it is the venue’s most difficult and second-most frightening. When he lies inside a laboratory box, its lid closes and he disappears, awakening as a rabbit in a ruined city 2.

Appearance

• Original human form: Fair skin, delicate, clean-cut features, and a thin build. He is five feet ten inches tall, although his slenderness makes him seem less tall 2.
• Rabbit form: Small and white, with soft fur, long ears, red eyes, and a short tail 2 3 6.
• Empowered rabbit form: His eyes emit an eerie red light, and sharp claws grow from his paws 5.
• Combat outfit: The upgraded suit has black straps matching Lei’s outfit; Qin carries a small cloth bag containing weapons and supplies 8.

Personality

Qin is timid, easily startled, and prone to elaborate internal complaints. His pride in being clever frequently clashes with his physical helplessness as a rabbit. He enjoys praise, becomes comically self-important when trusted or admired, and repeatedly mistakes Lei’s cooking jokes for genuine threats 2 3 7.

Despite his fear, Qin acts decisively when someone needs protection. He returns to defend a family endangered by his mistake, helps Brode and the unnamed boy despite their conflict with human authorities, and refuses to escape prison without Shi Jinse. His compassion increasingly outweighs his instinct for self-preservation 7 8 11.

Qin is especially sensitive to abandonment. He initially interprets Lei’s distance or decisions to leave him with others as rejection, but becomes deeply attached as he recognizes Lei’s loneliness and repeated acts of care. By the Twin Mutants battle, he considers them partners rather than owner and pet 3 9 10.

Abilities & Skills

Intelligence and Improvisation

• Retains his human understanding and ability to read while in rabbit form 3.
• Lures a pursuing bird into a mutated bear, briefly turning two threats against one another 2.
• Searches for an alternative escape route rather than trying to outlast the mutant prison’s machinery 4.
• Uses the white blob as a distraction against a stronger imprisoned mutant 4.

Danger Sense

• Detects the Botanical Garden attack before Lei has evidence of trouble there 3.
• Uses keen senses to guide Lei and Li Weisen away from pursuing mutants in the Fog Forest 8.
• The ability is suppressed within Hao Yin’s safe zone and surges back only after Qin crosses its boundary 7.
• It does not provide complete navigation: even Qin struggles to find a route out of the Fog Forest 8.

Enhanced Strength and Claws

• Shatters a squid-like enemy’s attack and catches its tentacle with his paws 5.
• Slams the creature hard enough to gouge a crater in the ground 5.
• Drives Li Weisen’s blade into the artificial heart that Lei’s gunfire cannot penetrate 5.
• Retains his awareness, but initially fears that mutation will make him a mindless monster 5.
• The enhancement is temporary; its collapse leaves him exhausted and vulnerable 5.

Human Transformation and Spatial Control

• Contact with Shi Jinse’s mutant blood enables temporary human transformation; biting Lei does not reproduce the effect 6 10.
• His first observed human transformation is incomplete: he cannot speak, and his rabbit tail soon returns 6.
• A pill made from Shi’s blood grants a stronger transformation during the confrontation with Damon 11.
• In that state, Qin destroys a Laser Net and repeatedly lifts and slams Damon without physically grappling him 11.
• Poor control causes the ability to fail mid-fight, allowing Damon to capture him in another Laser Net 11.

Armed Combat

• Kills a mutant with a small dagger while protecting Lei during the forest fire; the narration identifies this as his first true mutant kill 8.
• Uses a Laser Sword against attackers threatening Remiya 10.
• Coordinates with Lei and Chris to strike the Twin Mutants at precisely the same time, preventing either from reviving the other 10.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hao Yin’s original Combat Suit — Improves running speed and jumping height. It cannot be removed by Qin and forcibly retrieves him when he exceeds its permitted range or remains outside after six o’clock 7.
• Upgraded Combat Suit — A lighter replacement with additional combat functions and greater safety. Its flight mode cannot carry Qin and Lei to safety through the forest fire 7 8.
• Weapon bag — Holds weapons and supplies provided by Hao, including a small dagger and pills that temporarily suppress Lei’s pain 8 9.
• Laser Sword — Used to defend Remiya during the headquarters invasion 10.
• Li Weisen’s ancestral blade — Temporarily wielded to destroy the desert variant’s artificial heart 5.
• District 73 badge — Secretly given to him by Shi Jinse; enables his departure from the main city and helps establish his connection to Remiya in Hao’s eyes 6 7.
• Peace Knot / braided cord — Braided by Lei as a child and given to Qin by Remiya. Lei later ties it around Qin’s ankle; it remains there after Qin returns to his original world 10 11.
• Shi Jinse’s blood pill — A single-use aid that grants temporary human form and powerful abilities during the final confrontation 11.

Relationships

• Lei Ouyan — Rescuer, companion, and combat partner. Qin resolves to stay with him after recognizing his loneliness; their bond deepens through reciprocal protection. Qin is devastated by Lei’s apparent final sacrifice 2 3 5 10 11.
• Remiya — A protective, sister-like figure. Qin immediately seeks comfort in her arms, and later risks himself to defend her during the invasion 3 10.
• Li Weisen — Initially an enemy who mistakes Qin for a dangerous specimen and sends him to the mutant prison. Later supplies the tracker used to find him, hides him from Damon, and helps him escape imprisonment twice 4 5 9 11.
• Shi Jinse — Doctor and ally whose treatment mixes kindness with coercion. After Shi is exposed as a Level V Heteromorph, Qin still refuses to abandon him and accepts the blood pill that enables their final joint mission 5 6 10 11.
• Hao Yin — Inventor, captor, and equipment supplier. Uses Qin for errands and experiments before equipping him to accompany Lei 7 8.
• Chris — Helps Qin visit Lei, but later frightens and intoxicates him during a drunken encounter. Coordinates the cannon support essential to his victory over the Twin Mutants 3 9 10.
• Brode and the unnamed boy — Their devotion leads Qin to question whether all mutants are enemies. He protects their bond, and Brode later rescues him from the burning forest 8.
• Damon — Hostile authority who repeatedly orders Qin captured and eventually fights him and Lei 6 9 10 11.
• Class monitor — School friend whose resemblance to Li Weisen causes Qin to trust the wrong person. Qin embraces him while grieving after returning home 2 4 11.
• Commander — Qin’s golden retriever and childhood companion 3.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arc	Chapters	Qin’s involvement
Arrival and NAT Base	2 3	Survives his first encounters with mutants, is rescued by Lei, and warns him of the Botanical Garden attack. Begins choosing companionship over escape.
Imprisonment and desert battle	4 5	Nearly dies in the mutant prison, then follows Lei into danger. His empowered form becomes essential to destroying an artificially created variant.
Fugitive in the wasteland	6 7	Escapes NAT’s search in temporary human form, becomes Hao’s captive errand rabbit, and reunites with Lei before joining Water Source Plan A.
Fog Forest	8	Helps Brode and the boy escape Lei’s attack, then returns for Lei. Tries to protect both companions and outsiders as human forces burn the forest.
Return and Twin Mutants	9 10	Learns that post-combat isolation prevented Lei’s earlier rescue, survives another detention, and becomes Lei’s chosen battle partner. Victory is followed by Shi’s exposure and Qin’s arrest.
Final mission and return home	11	Insists on freeing Shi, fights Damon beside Lei, and unsuccessfully protests Lei’s sacrificial mission. After being thrown into a lake by the blast, awakens in the escape-room box with Lei’s braided cord still on his ankle.

The ending leaves the connection between the two worlds unresolved. While Qin grieves for Lei, the escape-room scenario’s writer approaches and introduces himself with the surname Lei; his identity as Lei Ouyan is not explicitly confirmed 11.
