My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 198: Investigating Cases in Dancheng, the More Violent the Better

The next day, as soon as it was light, Ma Li and Li Yi got up early.

This was the day Li Yi went to "Chosen Academy" to register. Although the semester was already halfway over, she could enroll as a temporary transfer student.

Li Jiuhe got up quickly after hearing the noise next door.

When the three of them finished getting ready and came downstairs, Gao Shu was already sitting in the driver's seat of the office's old official car, waiting for them. The engine was already running and warming up the car.

"Will you take us there?" Li Jiuhe asked.

"Yes." Gao Shu nodded. "I've been handling Yi Yi's enrollment procedures, so I'm quite familiar with the people at the school. If I go, it will save time."

Today, under Ma Li's styling, Li Yi wore a pink dress, white socks, black leather shoes, a small red flower in her hair, and carried a newly bought cartoon backpack.

Although there were no books in her schoolbag, she had already stuffed the little Q doll inside.

This thing is now tied to Li Yi; she takes the doll with her wherever she goes.

Fortunately, the doll wasn't very big, and Li Yi had specifically bought a large-sized cartoon backpack, so there was still room to store books and stationery.

The Chosen Academy is located in the southern district of Dan City, not far from the Dan City Investigation Bureau, and is under its jurisdiction.

For this reason, Dan City's investigation bureau is different from those in other cities; it has set up a special education and training office to manage the academy.

Upon arriving at the school, the enrollment process was completed quickly. A female teacher quietly asked Li Jiuhe, "Has Li Yi attended kindergarten before? Is the school environment familiar to you?"

These past few days, Li Jiuhe has been intensively studying the accents of the locals in Dancheng. Now, he can understand them as long as they speak at a normal speed.

He nodded and said, "She's been going to school all along, but she hasn't been going recently since she had her awakening. Don't worry, teacher, my daughter isn't shy around strangers and adapts to unfamiliar environments very quickly."

Just kidding, Li Yi survived all by herself in that deserted wooden house until Tongcheng arrived. That's something not just any child could do.

Even newly awakened Sequencer children.

"That's good." The female teacher smiled and nodded.

She walked to Li Yi's side and took Li Yi's little hand: "Li Yi, come with Teacher Qing to the classroom and get to know your classmates."

Li Yi, being sensible, immediately followed, turning back to wave to Li Jiuhe and Ma Li: "Dad, Aunt Ma Li, see you after school!"

"Okay, Yiyi, listen to your teacher at school," Li Jiuhe said.

Ma Li waved her hand quickly, her voice choked with emotion: "See you after school! Aunt Ma Li will be right outside the school, I won't go anywhere!"

""

Li Jiuhe turned his head to look at her in surprise: "You're just going to stay here, not going back?"

Ma Li nodded emphatically: "Yes, I'll be right here. In case Li Yi needs help, she won't have to run back and forth."

"You—you—are you crying?" Li Jiuhe looked at her red eyes.

Ma Li wiped her eyes: "I didn't cry, sand got in my eyes."

Li Jiuhe: "————"

At the other end, Li Yi, holding the female teacher's hand, walked along while looking up and asking, "Teacher Qing, why is your surname Qing?"

Teacher Qing replied with a smile, "Our surnames are a little different from yours. There are many people with the surname Qing, which is perfectly normal!"

"Is it all clear, or all bruised and battered?" Li Yi asked again.

Teacher Qing's face stiffened: "Uh, that—it's the 'qing' in 'green grass'."

"That's the 'blue' from a bruised and swollen face."

"Uh, okay, yes."

"Teacher Qing, let me tell you first, I brought a doll in my bag," Li Yi said, raising her hand.

"Why are you bringing a doll?" Teacher Qing asked.

"She's my good friend, so I have to bring her along, but I promise I won't play around in class," Li Yi said confidently.

Teacher Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll observe your performance first. If you don't perform well—"

"Okay, Teacher Qing!" Li Yi nodded immediately.

In fact, the students in her current class range in age from twenty to eleven or twelve, since the awakening of Sequencers is not limited by age.

Some people awaken early, but their strength grows slowly, and they generally start from a very low point.

Some people awaken late, but once they do, they become incredibly powerful and grow very quickly.

Li Yi, however, is different. She awakened early, has strong basic strength, and her sequence ability was catalyzed and enhanced by Xu Huaiyuan, making her different from other early awakeners.

Therefore, after the assessment, Li Yi, who should have been placed in the Awakening Class, was directly admitted to one of the classes in the junior grade.

The students in this beginner class are all those who have already reached the beginner level, or are about to reach the beginner level, just one step away from it.

Strictly speaking, Li Yi falls into the latter category.

However, Li Jiuhe knew very well that with the addition of Little Q Queen controlled by Li Yi, her combat power had actually completely surpassed that of the initial stage, and she even had a high chance of winning against those in the intermediate stage.

If you leave the Little Q doll alone, it can kill anything below the high rank in the normal line, unless you encounter a special sequence user.

After all, Queen Q is part of a powerful sequence of black and white Jokers, so her strength is undeniable. Moreover, she happens to be a "Joker" type character, but she is just suppressed by Li Yi's abilities.

If Li Yi hadn't had Li Jiuhe's help, he wouldn't have been able to subdue such a ruthless character at all.

Even so, Li Yi is still the youngest in the current class.

The moment she entered the classroom, she caused an uproar. Almost all the students stared in surprise at this classmate who was much older than them.

Of course, as Sequencers, these people have extremely strong learning and comprehension abilities, far exceeding those of ordinary people.

Therefore, learning general knowledge is relatively easy for Li Yi, and she doesn't need to worry about the courses being too difficult to keep up with.

The uproar coming from the classroom could be heard even by Li Jiuhe and Ma Li in the office building across the street.

Ma Li immediately tensed up: "Oh no, Yi Yi is in danger!"

Li Jiuhe smiled and comforted him, "Don't be so paranoid. Imagine, in a class where the average age is fourteen or fifteen, suddenly a student under seven years old joins. How would the others react?"

Ma Li suddenly realized and nodded: "Brother Li, you go back. I'll wander around the school area for a bit and wait for Yiyi to get out of school, then we'll come back together."

"Then be careful," Li Jiuhe cautioned. "Don't trust any strangers. There are milk tea shops outside the school; you can go sit there if you have time."

"I know."

After leaving Ma Li behind, Li Jiuhe and Gao Shu returned together.

Ma Li is not short of money now. After becoming an investigator, she has a good salary, and Li Jiuhe also gave her some living expenses.

This living expense was for her usual expenses when she was with Li Yi.

So during this time, Ma Li dressed Li Yi up beautifully. Although she herself was an insect, she learned human aesthetics very quickly, which can be considered a special talent.

Back at the office, Li Jiuhe and Gao Shu had just parked the car and hadn't even gotten out when they saw Xu Wanshou come out of the building excitedly, a cheap cigar in his mouth, followed by a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked like a citizen of Tian Shu Kingdom, but Li Jiuhe didn't recognize him.

Arriving at the car, Xu Wanshou exhaled smoke and introduced, "Investigator Li, this is Cheng Feng, a mid-level investigator dispatched by our Tian Shu Kingdom. He brings good news. Hmm, it's a very confidential lead."

Investigators like Cheng Feng who are sent abroad are generally competent and have strong individual execution skills.

They did not work specifically at the Dancheng office, but rather traveled around the Liuli Kingdom, going between various offices to complete their work tasks.

For them, Li Jiuhe and his group did not come directly from China to Liuli Kingdom, but had been working in other parts of the world and had only recently come here.

Cheng Feng stepped forward, greeted Li Jiuhe, and then quickly began to explain.

It turns out that recently, news of a serial item called "Golden Skull Armor" has been circulating between the Tian Shu Kingdom and the Liu Li Kingdom. This serial item consists of several parts, including a helmet, arm guards, chest guard, back guard, and leg guards, and can be disassembled.

Obtaining just one of them can be used to withstand a fatal blow from a super-ranked sequencer of ordinary sequence lines. If you collect them all, you can even withstand a full-force attack from a high-ranked sequencer of gold lines.

Most importantly, this set of golden skull armor can also evolve through devouring, making it a rare and valuable combat support item.

From the very beginning, rumors circulated that various parts of the armor had appeared in the Tian Shu Kingdom and the Liu Li Kingdom. The Tian Shu Kingdom immediately issued an order for its dispatched investigators in the Liu Li Kingdom to secretly search for and obtain them.

For this reason, the Investigation Bureau of the Glass Kingdom offered a high special reward amount, as well as incentives such as merit points.

It is said that the helmet has been found within the territory of Tian Shu Kingdom and taken into custody by the Investigation Bureau, but the other parts are in Liu Li Kingdom.

However, the organizational structure of the Kingdom of Liuli was too chaotic, and the local investigation bureau had no clues. Instead, information about the Golden Skull Armor later appeared among the local gangs.

It is rumored that the arm guards and chest protectors have arrived in Dan City, with the arm guards falling into the hands of a local mid-sized gang that is not very powerful.

Cheng Feng's information is extremely reliable and timely; it should not have been disseminated yet.

Xu Wanshou immediately took it to heart; he was waiting for a large reward to pay off his gambling debts.

With Li Jiuhe here and Cheng Feng's presence, the office's strength is unprecedented. It's just a pity that Ma Li didn't come back.

However, Xu Wanshou also expressed his understanding, after all, this was Li Yi's first day of class in a foreign country, and Ma Li should take good care of her.

Li Jiuhe listened to them for a long time before finally understanding.

He looked surprised and said, "You mean, a few of us just storm into that gang and steal the arm guards? Like—bounty hunters, ignoring the local investigation bureau's rules?"

Xu Wanshou nodded and explained, "Investigator Li, don't worry, the Bureau of Investigation here has no rules. Their so-called rules are not even followed by their own people, so there is no such thing as reasonable law enforcement."

Cheng Feng chimed in, "Investigator Li, you don't know this, this is just how things are done here."

"Yes, it's a mess, I know," Li Jiuhe said.

Xu Wanshou smacked his lips: "Who told us to be investigators with principles? Even if we're looking for money, it's only this kind of money. We won't use our sequence abilities to make ill-gotten gains."

To be honest, in this place, if a sequencer is ruthless and willing to do anything, they can make money very quickly.

But as Xu Wanshou said, this group of people has a strong sense of professional ethics.

They acted on behalf of the Tian Shu Kingdom, and their actions at least did not disgrace the Tian Shu Kingdom's investigators.

As for the act of directly robbing serial items, it has been approved by the Tian Shu Kingdom Investigation Bureau, but the method adopted is biased towards the Liuli Kingdom.

"Okay, let's go."

Li Jiuhe didn't waste any words. Since he had decided to go to Dancheng to take refuge for a while, he was already prepared to integrate into the local community.

Besides, there are rewards for doing this kind of thing.

Not only that, his professional level will also be promoted soon.

He then added, "If the mission is successfully completed, you don't need to report me; just report that you completed it."

"Oh, how can that be?" Xu Wanshou said embarrassedly, "We're all good brothers, so we should share the rewards."

"That's it, no need to report to me." Li Jiuhe's tone was very certain.

Xu Wanshou, Cheng Feng, and Gao Shu exchanged a glance, and the three of them said nothing more.

Soon Gao Shu returned to his office and brought out a large travel bag. He drove the old, beat-up car as usual, with Xu Wanshou in the passenger seat and Li Jiuhe and Cheng Feng in the back.

The car drove off, the doors and windows were closed, and Xu Wanshou opened his travel bag, taking out several sets of black clothes and a box of chewing gum.

He handed a set of black clothes to Li Jiuhe: "Here, this should fit you. Change into it in the car first."

Li Jiuhe felt that at this moment he was not an investigator handling a case, but rather like one of those gangsters. He didn't expect that they had even prepared their crime-solving gear.

He took the clothes and quickly changed into them, while Cheng Feng and Xu Wanshou also changed into black clothes.

Xu Wanshou opened the chewing gum box, poured out three pieces, and gave one to each of Li Jiuhe and the others.

"This chewing gum is a sequence item I painstakingly collected, called Transformation Candy," and each piece used is one less available. Chewing it transforms you into the image of someone else you imagine in your mind, lasting for half an hour. Remember, you must spit out the candy after half an hour; otherwise, the Transformation Candy will take over and control you. Don't blame me if your body can't revert to its original state!"

Xu Wanshou's words were mainly for Li Jiuhe's benefit, as the others were very familiar with his methods.

Li Jiuhe looked at the chewing gum in his hand and felt that it looked a bit like the small blue pills he had seen before.

"Aside from that, are there any other side effects?" he asked.

Xu Wanshou chuckled: "What are you thinking? While it's undeniable that this thing is somewhat similar, it definitely doesn't have the effects of sildenafil!"

The car was full of men, and they all laughed meaningfully.

Gao Shu was very familiar with the terrain of Dancheng. After driving for a while, he pressed a button inside the car, and the front and rear license plates flipped up and became another license plate.

After driving for about half an hour, the car stopped on a relatively secluded section of road.

There used to be security cameras installed nearby, but they were destroyed by local forces long ago and are now just for show.

In reality, most members of these local forces are still ordinary people; only those in the middle or upper levels of the organization are considered "sequencers."

After all, the largest population is still ordinary people, and these people are convenient to use as low-level enforcers.

After parking the car, Gao Shu, who had been driving, changed into black clothes and took a piece of deformed chewing gum.

Xu Wanshou pointed to a small manor with a light blue wall diagonally in front of him.

"That's the Black Tiger Gang's stronghold. The gang's underlings are mostly ordinary people, with very few Sequence Users, and even those are all low-level. Only the Black Tiger Gang's Four Generals and above are Sequence Users with real strength. The most powerful of the Four Generals is a high-level ordinary level user. It's rumored that the gang leader, Chen Hu, is already a super-level ordinary level user."

At this point, he looked at Li Jiuhe and said, "Investigator Li, do you have any experience fighting against ordinary Super-Rank opponents? If you're not confident, then I'll deal with Chen Hu. But it will be a bit of a hassle for you to hold off at least two Black Tiger Generals. After all, Gao Shu and Cheng Feng can only handle one at most each."

Li Jiuhe could tell that the old man was intentionally trying to make him prove his abilities.

After all, he had been here for some time, and these people had never seen his abilities.

"I'm fine with anything." He shrugged. "You make the arrangements, I'll just do the work."

Xu Wanshou rubbed his hands excitedly. "Alright, you deal with Chen Hu. I'll help Gao Shu and the others take care of those four Black Tiger generals. After all, they might team up, and we need to make sure our men don't get hurt."

He paused, then added, "If we can get this done quickly, we'll come to your aid immediately. If you're not confident, remember to hold on for as long as you can."

"it is good."

"Now everyone can eat chewing gum," Xu Wanshou said. "After chewing the gum, you can change the appearance of any person you think of in your mind, including their body shape."

Li Jiuhe put the chewing gum in his mouth.

At first, he felt that the candy tasted similar to regular chewing gum, but after chewing it a few more times, a slightly bitter taste quickly filled his taste buds.

As the thought arose in his mind, his face began to contort rapidly.

The squeezing and moving process doesn't hurt, it just feels strange.

At the same time, Li Jiuhe also saw the changes taking place on the faces of the other people, feeling as if he were seeing three clay figures.

"Can I become the opposite sex?" he suddenly asked.

"No," Xu Wanshou replied, "because it might cause inconsistencies between the upper and lower body, and it can only change the appearance and fingerprints; the internal body structure cannot be altered. Unless the time limit is exceeded."

Soon, all four of them transformed into strangers. Li Jiuhe, on the other hand, saw a poster of a male model on a wall by the street and made some adjustments and changes to the person's appearance to form the final form.

Xu Wanshou took the opportunity to appear younger.

Prior to this, Li Jiuhe had already set up the current task.

The mission's level is not very high, at Rank I, Grade A, only one level higher than the recent Blue-striped Lynx incident on the plane. Moreover, the mission rewards are also quite ordinary, with no awards that increase the probability of obtaining a tag.

But once completed, it will be enough for him to upgrade his current "Junior Designer" career level.

The car door opened, and the four people quickly got out.

Li Jiuhe's heart started racing. He had never done anything like this before, attacking a gang without considering the consequences.

Of course, ambushing Guan Yu doesn't count, since at that time, one of them had to die.

Four strangers left the street where the car was parked, turned a corner, and quickly approached the small manor with its blue walls.

There were four heavily armed gang guards at the entrance of the manor. Each of them carried two magazines, one with ordinary bullets and the other with serial number patterns, specifically for dealing with serialized individuals.

As they drew closer, Cheng Feng and Gao Shu suddenly sped up.

"What are you doing? This is a private place—"

The four guards immediately sensed something was wrong and raised their submachine guns, but before they could even pull the trigger, Cheng Feng charged forward, knocking one of the guards flying. The guard crashed heavily into the outer wall of the manor behind him, probably breaking his bones.

Another guard was slapped on the forehead, and red and white stuff burst out from the back of his head. He collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

The other two guards were simultaneously attacked by Gao Shu.

Gao Shu stretched out both hands and grabbed at the air in front of the two people, clenching his fists and then releasing them.

The two men's ribs snapped and broke into pieces, all of which were squeezed into the middle of their chests and protruded through.
