God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

'Roylena is not a [Fragrance Seeker] Sequence ability user, but she also has experience in investigating and tracking criminals. She should possess a low-level scent-tracking tool.'

The time was 7 p.m., and people were gradually passing through the alley of Spring Willow Lane.

This alley was a shortcut from the edge of the safe zone to the central area. Those who couldn't afford public transportation would often take this path to save time.

Spring Willow Lane was also something Qin Siyang learned about while browsing the forum.

Sequence ability users heading toward the exit of Safe Zone No. 114514 often weren't strong enough. They hadn't hunted many gods, so their income wasn't abundant.

Sometimes, to save money, they would walk home. Spring Willow Lane was a route they frequently took.

Qin Siyang waited until the road was empty, then slipped into the forest where he had agreed to meet and crouched in hiding.

Then, he opened his lunchbox and smeared the cafeteria's three-winged flying fish all over his clothes.

'Low-level scent-tracking tools are far inferior to the [Fragrance Seeker] Sequence ability user's skill [Scent Tracking]. If I use a strong smell to mask my own, the tool will lose its ability to track me.'

'The scent of cafeteria food should be sufficient.'

This was information shared in a discussion thread on the [Godslayer Camp] forum.

After smearing his clothes, he closed the lunchbox again and quietly waited for Roylena to appear.

Around 8:30 p.m., a figure in a trench coat appeared in the woods.

Qin Siyang could hear the dull sound of leather shoes stepping on stones, confirming that it should be Roylena.

'Why did Roylena arrive thirty minutes early?', Qin Siyang didn't know.

He remained hidden in the forest, silently observing Roylena.

He saw her take out a bottle of perfume, spray it on herself, and then stand still in place.

Before long, the fragrance reached Qin Siyang's nose.

The fresh scent made him feel relaxed and reduced his anxiety.

'Is this just ordinary perfume? Or is it a prerequisite for activating some kind of Sequence skill?', Qin Siyang frowned in thought.

He still didn't know what Roylena's real Sequence ability was, so he remained highly vigilant.

Roylena seemed to be getting impatient and kept looking at her phone.

After confirming that she hadn't set up any traps, Qin Siyang covered his face and stepped out from the bushes.

However, the clothes he used to hide his face were now covered with the smell of cafeteria food, making him quite uncomfortable.

Roylena was briefly startled upon seeing Qin Siyang emerge, then coldly asked, "You've been here all along. Why didn't you show yourself earlier?"

"Didn't want to come out too soon.", Qin Siyang answered truthfully.

Roylena flicked her golden bangs, "What do you want from me?"

"I need your help with something."

"Speak."

"Introduce me to the person who forged your Sequence for you."

Roylena's pupils suddenly dilated, but then she heard the masked man's next words.

"I suggest you take your right hand off the gun under your coat. If the gunshot goes off, you won't be able to kill me, and there will be no way to salvage the situation."

Roylena froze. She hadn't expected him to see through her actions.

'Such strong perception and predictive ability.'

Her hand remained on the gun. She had already loaded it before coming, ready to draw and fire at any moment.

"You're very confident. But I don't think you're faster than a bullet."

Qin Siyang smiled, "Of course, I'm not faster than a bullet. But a bullet can only be fired after you draw the gun and pull the trigger, right?"

"I just need to be faster than you."
