Chapter 74

At that moment Kai's grip loosened slightly as he stared at the man's bloodied hand.

Immediately A deep frown settled on his face, the weight of realization sinking in like a stone in water. The vision had been nothing but a blurred mess, and now he knew why.

The All-Seeing wasn't failing—it was following rules Kai hadn't fully understood until now.

The blood. The torn skin. The gunshot wounds he'd inflicted earlier.

At that moment his mind raced as he pieced it together.

It seems the system required the hand of its subject to be intact, unmarred by injury. The physical damage severed the flow of memory, leaving him grasping at shadows instead of clarity.

At that moment Kai's sharp intake of breath betrayed his frustration. He never liked setbacks, especially ones he caused himself. He silently cursed his earlier impulsiveness. Though justified in taking down Roland, it had cost him an invaluable opportunity to extract the truth.
