Lu works with the monks to construct a barrier chamber that filters incoming psychic signals. Sakamoto debates turning the child over to world authorities but hesitates. Meanwhile, Shin confronts the possibility that he may lose his powers permanently from overuse. Chapter 169 is quiet and reflective, building tension not through action but uncertainty.
