95: gifted person
Shi Yan gently put down the phone.
Talented People are divided into two types: innate and acquired.
Innate Talented People are those born with special abilities.
Generally, such Talented People possess extremely abnormal skills, such as space, time, and conceptual causality.
And no proficiency is required.
Acquired Talented People are those who gain special abilities due to a major change in circumstances.
Such as losing their family or being cuckolded.
Because they are awakened later, the skills of these people are not as abnormal from the start, but require them to upgrade and become proficient step by step.
Currently, there are only a few Innate Talented People in the entire world, and they are all firmly controlled by the state.
Acquired Talented People appear with a probability of one in a hundred thousand.
So, that Girl is an Acquired Talented Person?
The way to upgrade is by eating people?
What kind of Tokyo Ghoul is this?
Shi Yan's eyes lowered, if that were truly the case.
Perhaps he could focus more on reality.
Before, he returned to reality simply to relax, and it wouldn't have been a problem at all if he hadn't returned to reality.
However, there are actually super-powered individuals in reality.
If possible, he wanted to see just how abnormal Innate Talented People were.
Unfortunately, Wang Jing also knew nothing about information concerning Innate Talented People.
Shi Yan ate a quick bite and then left his home.
There weren't many people in the hallway, just two or three, all ordinary people.
Following the stairs down, he quickly left the building.
It was early morning, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and the sun shining brightly.
People exercising were everywhere, along with some pedestrians rushing to work or school.
Shi Yan's footsteps gradually stopped, and his gaze turned to the right.
A small amusement park came into his view, and inside the amusement park, there was a small sandpit where several half-grown children were playing in the sand.
The more he looked, the more it resembled it.
The small sandpit slowly overlapped with the sandpit in his memory, and aside from a few minor dissimilarities, it was almost identical.
Especially that manhole cover.
Shi Yan looked at the manhole cover to the right of the small sandpit; although its design had changed, its position had not.
It perfectly matched the scene in his memory.
He could now perfectly confirm that this was the sandpit from his memory.
Shi Yan watched for a while, then turned and left.
The scene in his memory was from who knows how many years ago; searching now might not yield anything.
Although he had ample time at the moment, it was better to pursue a clearer and more likely to be fruitful goal first.
Following the path he took to school before, he quickly arrived at the campus entrance.
The surroundings of the campus were still the same as before, without the slightest change, and various students were still coming and going.
Someone suddenly called out to Shi Yan.
"Shi Yan?"
It was Wang Shuo's voice.
Shi Yan slowly turned around.
Wang Shuo was looking at him in surprise.
"It really is you! Where have you been all this time?"
Wang Shuo familiarly walked over to Shi Yan's side and walked with him into the campus.
"Nothing much, just some family matters."
Shi Yan smiled faintly, not expecting to encounter Wang Shuo again.
"Oh."
Wang Shuo raised an eyebrow and, seeing that Shi Yan didn't want to say more, didn't press further.
"Look, that person is so handsome!"
"Is he a celebrity?"
"He has such great charisma!"
They encountered many Girls on the way.
They kept pointing at Shi Yan and his companion, occasionally letting out giggles.
Wang Shuo waved to each of the Girls.
The Girls' laughter immediately grew a few decibels louder.
"Shi Yan, they all seem to be looking at me, when did I become so charming?"
Wang Shuo touched his cheek, seeming a little puzzled.
Shi Yan merely returned a faint smile.
The two of them chatted idly like this as they entered the teaching building.
"I have something to do, I'm leaving first."
Shi Yan nodded to Wang Shuo and left.
His goal was clear: straight to the Principals Office.
The best way for him to obtain the Girl's information was this way.
The Principals Office was located in the very center of the third floor of the campus, with no students around, indicating that the Principal's authority was quite significant.
Shi Yan reached out and pushed open the door; inside, two people were just conversing.
One was a middle-aged man with mixed black and white hair and a resolute face, dressed in a white suit, sitting behind a mahogany desk.
The other was an exceptionally beautiful and charming young woman, dressed in a plain white long dress, with a prominent bosom and delicate collarbones.
"Principal, do you really not know where Nannan went?"
The young woman's face was full of sorrow, as if she had suffered a major blow.
"Madam, you should ask the Security Department about this; we are just an ordinary school."
The middle-aged man's expression was serious, his voice calm and deep, giving off a strong sense of authority.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, he noticed Shi Yan entering.
He seemed displeased with Shi Yan's behavior of entering without knocking, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Thank you, Principal, I'll be leaving now."
Seeing someone enter, the young woman could only sigh softly and, disappointed, got up to leave.
The young woman slowly walked past Shi Yan, who was standing at the doorway, and headed out.
This woman seems a bit off.
Shi Yan keenly sensed the anomaly.
His right index finger flashed, and at a speed no one could perceive, he tapped the young woman's shoulder.
"Hello, I am Shi Yan."
After the young woman left, Shi Yan familiarly walked over and sat down in front of the Principal.
"Shi Yan? You are that Shi Yan."
The Principal seemed to recall something, and his attitude became gentler.
"May I ask what you came to see me about?"
It seems the Security Department has quite a bit of influence, Shi Yan nodded slightly in his heart.
"I need all the information on this person."
Shi Yan picked up the pen and paper from the desk and, with a few quick strokes, drew the Girl's face on the paper in a few seconds.
With Shi Yan's current soul attributes, he would be excellent at anything he did.
Moreover, his control over his physical body was also very strong.
Adding to that, he had dabbled in drawing before he transmigrated, so his drawing was almost indistinguishable from a grayscale photograph.
"No problem, but the information needs to be retrieved online, so you'll have to wait a bit longer."
The Principal nodded after seeing the person on the paper and immediately agreed to Shi Yan's request.
The Principal got up, took the drawing, and walked out.
Having connections is indeed comfortable.
Shi Yan sighed inwardly.
This time, as long as he obtained the specific information about the Girl's family background, he could begin his next step.
As for why he didn't look for the Security Department? Although he had killed in self-defense at the time, the Security Department should be on his side.
But his goal, from beginning to end, was only one: to acquire skills. If he called in the Security Department, how could he still kill people?
