Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

In the back seat of the vehicle.

Cheese checked the red envelopes she had received and was somewhat impressed by the Jing family's politeness.
Leaving aside the cash value of Giant City Coins, these extraordinary gems are rare extraordinary materials, with an extremely low probability of being born from extraordinary creatures.

It's a level higher than the dragon jade she hunted in Wanlong Lake.

Crafting these into secret treasures or psionic weapons would yield excellent results. If these gems were converted into merit points, they would likely be worth around three thousand. That's a huge sum. For a typical five-sense processor, accumulating three thousand merit points would take a very long time.

Then, Cheese looked at the doll beside her. No matter when she looked at it, she was always amazed by its beauty.

She asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Cheese noticed that everything around him was quiet; not a single sound entered the carriage.

Clearly, the doll had subtly created an invisible wall, isolating it from outside sounds. It must have something to say to itself.

Is it because of the misunderstanding with the Jing family that you're angry?
After hesitating for a moment, the doll said, "We're almost home."

"Hmm. What's wrong?" Cheese nodded.

Then she heard the doll whisper, "And, today is Friday."

Cheese was clearly taken aback. Friday?
I thought to myself, if today were Thursday, I could let you V me 50 before the calamity, and see what strength you have.

But in this day and age, is Friday anything special?

Then she understood everything and almost laughed.

Her earlier statement to Li Yelai that Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays belonged to the dolls, while Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays belonged to herself, was clearly just a way to change the subject.

They didn't want Li Ye to know about their compromises and conversations.

Both of them worried about something unexpected happening to them, so they wanted to make each other a kind of 'insurance'. Even if the worst happened, there would be someone to continue to care for them.

These were their little secrets, and they couldn't let Li Ye know.

Unexpectedly, the doll took the joke seriously.

Cheese had considered many scenarios for his encounter with her, but he had never imagined this one.
'As expected of you,' Cheese thought to himself again. 'So, how did I end up having my base stolen by such a naive and innocent girl?'

The doll was too innocent; perhaps because of the existence of that evil corpse, she didn't dislike cheese.

Although she resented that cheese was taking away Li Yelai's attention and companionship, she would still do some small things.

For example, saying something that's not even a personal attack. Or putting a bitter pill on a piece of candy.

This was perhaps the worst thing she could imagine.

No wonder, as his official partner, she only dared to steal kisses from Li Yelai in the kitchen, making it seem like they were having an affair.

This is somewhat contrary to the principles of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
To this day, Cheese is still wondering why she suddenly had such courage.

Does alcohol embolden cowards? Has this meant prematurely exhausting all the courage one could muster in a lifetime?

Thinking of this, Cheese smiled and said, "Yes, it is Friday today, and you haven't seen him for a long time. It's time to get together. Keep your voices down."

These words made the doll blush.

But soon, Cheese pointed to the time on his communicator: "It's almost eight o'clock now, only six hours until Saturday. When that time comes, I'm going to drag him away!"

The doll paused, then looked like it was about to cry: "No."

🇧🇷
This made Cheese want to tease her even more. Oh no, I feel like I've awakened some weird quirk.
"However, he made an appointment with the detective to take on some side jobs that night." Cheese said thoughtfully, "The side jobs that the detective and Saya take on together are never small matters."

She knew perfectly well that.

The two took on their first side job and it turned out to be a huge one. She was also unexpectedly drawn into it, which led to the exposure of the Black Umbrella organization's influence.

The second freelance job I took was at the Jing family manor, where there's a Dream Butterfly Tree trunk in the basement.

The third time, she didn't participate, but the two of them still encountered a legion of returning ghost soldiers. It's said the battle was extremely fierce, with many powerful official figures involved.

It's fair to say that the combination of a detective, Li Yelai, and a side hustle is extremely dangerous; there's never an easy time. However, Li Yelai has now become the champion, virtually invincible within the Six Senses realm.

Inside the giant city, there shouldn't be anything that can trouble a champion, right?

"Shall I go and help out too?" the doll suggested. She knew to some extent that the combination of Li Yelai and the detective was somewhat dangerous.

"You seem to be in a lot of a hurry," Cheese joked.

The doll pursed its lips: "We should have had Xiao Jiangling stay as well. With an assassin master present, she shouldn't have caused any trouble."

"For a side job with unknown difficulty, how many team leaders do you want to bring in?" Cheese complained.

The champion has been lured into taking on side jobs, and even the strongest captain's doll is planning to get involved. What? Are they trying to take over the city?
Could there really be a hegemon?

A few minutes later, Li Yelai took the three of them back to their family apartment.

As Li Yelai got off the bus, he saw the head of the epidemic medical team in the distance.

The doctor's expression was somewhat strange when he saw the dolls and cheese.

"I really want to complain, but I'm in a hurry, so I'll have to wait until later," the doctor said with a smile.

"In a hurry?" the doll asked.

"Yeah, Yang Chen and Pale went out. We need to go check on them," the Plague Doctor chuckled.

"Captain Yang Chen? Did he go on a mission?" Li Yelai asked in confusion, "But our team didn't receive any instructions."

The fact that multiple captains, including the eighth-generation champion, were mobilized clearly indicates this is no ordinary mission. Why, as the ninth-generation champion, haven't I received any news?

This left everyone speechless for a moment.

"Do you think they went on a mission?" The doctor asked with a troubled expression after a moment of silence.

"Otherwise what?" Li Yelai asked, puzzled.

Li Yunyan complained, "Brother, with your emotional intelligence, you shouldn't gossip about others."

"Oh"

After escorting Li Yunyan back to her room, Li Yelai changed into a scavenger's outfit and arranged a meeting place with the detective.

The dolls and cheese also disguised themselves.

Considering the future, she might not be able to stay by Li Yelai's side. She was worried that the curse's power would spread and affect others.

The doll was dressed in a motorcycle outfit and wore a motorcycle helmet. Not a single inch of skin or hair was exposed.

And the cheese has changed into a casual outfit.

At the same time, the Tiger Squad also received orders to enter standby mode.

"We will keep watch from a distance. If anything unexpected happens, we will provide support immediately."

[Mmm ψ(*｀ー)ψ]
The dolls also held up advertising signs.

"Thank you for your help!" Li Yelai nodded.

Meanwhile, at a construction site in the old town.

Several psionicists have already gathered here. Some come from the wilderness, while others are warriors trained by their families.

One of the masked experts checked the time and asked, "Is anyone else missing?"

“That detective,” a powerful figure spoke up.

"Him?" The masked powerhouse chuckled. "As the most famous middleman in Border City Three, hopefully the companions he brings are reliable enough." (End of Chapter)
