Guard Li stood in front of the class, suspicious of everyone while watching every move. He gave them a long interpretation to finish before the allotted time when he was going to stage his faint, and be removed from the classroom but until then, everyone was a suspect. The gamer could be sitting amongst these students or the next person who walks past the door, but he wasn't in any danger at the moment, nothing had happened to him the last time up until the guards had been killed.

The museum had been waiting for a special delivery to complete a collection. The Royal Doulton Lady Collection. All the fine colourful figurines of ladies in different poses with their elegant dresses had been advertised to go on show to the public after the final one had arrived. The value of the collection had increased after they became the only ones in existence, and Ying was excited about the donation of the last figurine. It had just arrived when he felt the summons from Black Robe and left it sitting carefully on a shelf, while he disappeared and went to the mansion.

"Good morning My Lord," he said with a broad smile as he looked towards Shen Wei, but it was Yunlan who spoke.

"Ying, I sent for you. Sit down please and listen carefully." Yunlan said and watched as Ying's smile faded when he realised that something was wrong.

"Don't open the box. I know what's inside. The figurine has a concealed gas canister which will be activated as soon as you say the name of the piece. The Powers at Be informed me. The gamer is watching to see how efficient it will be when it kills all the guards."

Ying was so deeply shocked that he couldn't speak while Ava felt the temperature drop a couple of degrees and watched as Wei placed his hand over Yunlan's on the table, gripping it firmly.

"We have a chance to stop him today. Play along and let him think he's won ... And hopefully we'll catch him when he's least expecting it. Trap him in the museum."

Yunlan waited for any suggestions as he drank his cold coffee. He knew that this was going to be difficult but as long as the gamer couldn't control any of the guards, they stood a chance. Shen Wei spoke first and tried to remember accurately what this killer's skills were.

"He's a remote viewer but he can't access memories, the Spirit can block him from my mind and anyone else while they are in this house, but the museum is different. Is there anyway we can stop him from taking over a guard apart from knocking them all out?" Wei asked hoping for any ideas.

"Suppose we limit his choices and put them to sleep, he can't use an unconscious person." Yunlan suggested.

"What were you thinking about My Lord?" Ying asked because he would welcome any idea that would save their lives.

"If he is trapped, he will use one of us against the others to escape. If he only has two choices, we would still be able to hold him, stop him from teleporting back to his body. Can the Spirit trap him inside a protection field or a dome of some kind?" Yunlan asked and waited while Wei had a silent conversation with his lodger.
