Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

It's getting foggy?

Standing on the bamboo raft, He Li smiled.

Late at night, fog inexplicably rose from the water's surface...

Isn't this the work of the criminal?

It seemed they would catch the other party soon, and perhaps even obtain more clues about the Dragon Worship Society. Just as he was thinking this, Yu Ji reminded him, "There seems to be something wrong with this fog!"

"I know!" He Li nodded.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji turned around and saw that He Li was only cautiously staring at the surroundings, so he quickly spoke up again to remind him.

"I mean, this fog might be poisonous!"

Hold your breath, don't inhale too much.

Poisonous? He Li frowned.

"How so?" he couldn't help but ask.

Yu Ji looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you feel anything wrong after inhaling this mist?"

"I...no?"

He Li shook his head blankly.

Yu Ji looked on with suspicion: "Really? The Hundred Qi Scripture I cultivate has a strong ability to perceive changes in Qi. I can feel this mist affecting our senses."

"You said you didn't feel anything? Is it due to your constitution?"

Yu Ji seemed surprised, as if he had thought of something.

He Li shrugged: "Maybe? But I also think it could be due to internal strength."

"The Great Nuo Rhapsody?" Yu Ji nodded.

The Great Nuo ritual is also a way to expel plagues.

To drive away the plague and prevent disease from spreading.

He Li was able to remain unaffected by the toxins; upon closer examination... it actually makes sense.

"What are they doing over there?" she wondered, when she saw He Li suddenly point to the flickering lights on the riverbank ahead, where a group of people seemed to be taking pictures of something.

Yu Ji saw many flashes of light.

"Local actors cosplaying as fairies and water nymphs!"

Yu Ji glanced at the response.

"They were invited by the local tourism bureau."

"Because of that fairy legend, in order to maintain its popularity, they simply hired a professional performer."

"After all, not everyone can see the celestial being."

"But everyone can see cosplay."

Huh? That's quite clever.

He Li sighed, his gaze piercing through the misty water as he couldn't help but glance at the actress a couple more times.

The other person had a great figure, and with the custom-made cosplay outfit covered in scales, pearls, and light fabric, standing on a bamboo raft, she really looked ethereal through the misty water.

Perhaps he noticed He Li staring at the actors.

Yu Ji couldn't help but remind him, "Stop looking."

"Since there's something wrong with this fog, it means the criminal is nearby and is preparing to harm someone."

"Let's keep a close eye on our surroundings!"

"I know!" He replied, "I'm just checking to see if there are any problems among that group of people, aren't I?"

"Those are just ordinary people!"

Yu Ji rolled his eyes.

"I can tell even without syncing."

"Not to mention after syncing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Ji suddenly fell silent.

He Li was quite puzzled that he couldn't hear anything, but before he could ask Yu Ji what was going on, the other party said sternly, "Take action! That actress is suspicious!!!"

Hmm? Is there really a problem?

How come I didn't see anything?

He Li was a little surprised.

However, despite the unexpected turn of events, he believed that Yu Ji's supernatural abilities would not be compromised, so he immediately took action.

Buzz! With a flash of golden light, the actress standing on a bamboo raft a hundred meters away was instantly frozen in place. However, just as He Li was about to grab her...

But an unexpected event occurred.

hum! ! !

The actress's bamboo raft was shimmering with light.

Then, her figure disappeared.

Instead, one of Deng Changfeng's two former partners took his place.

"Transposition???"

Upon seeing this, He Li blurted out.

He never expected that Deng Changfeng and his group possessed such extraordinary abilities.

This caught him somewhat off guard.

Meanwhile, Yu Ji, who was in sync with the actress, suddenly found herself on the Fairy Shadow Bridge when the scenery changed, and Deng Changfeng and another investigator were staring at her triumphantly.

"Since He Li dared to make a move directly..."

"That means there is indeed a problem with this actor."

"Hehe! Keeping an eye on him was definitely the right thing to do."

"Haven't we already gained something?"

"Hmph! The ridiculous thing is, he thought that by getting ahead of us, he could get ahead of everything..."

"And now? The opportunity is in our hands!"

"But it's strange, really..."

"This actress has been performing here for a long time, and she's been investigated before and there were no problems. She's just an ordinary person. How did He Li discover that there was something wrong with her?"

Deng Changfeng's partner was both pleased and puzzled.

Deng Changfeng simply shook his head.

How he discovered the problem is not important.

"The important thing is to confirm that she has a problem, and that if we have her, then the clues also belong to us."

"As for how to obtain the clues?"

Deng Changfeng's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

"Then we'll just have to forcefully interrogate them!"

"We don't have time to ask her slowly right now."

He was about to make his move, but the actress, now freed from her restraints by the teleportation technique, reacted and, in a flash of insight, looked around for help...

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

"Help! There's a pervert here!!!"

Suddenly, the actress screamed for help, and the bewildered tourists around her snapped out of their daze.

They stared at Deng Changfeng and his companion with unfriendly expressions.

"Feng Xu is my goddess!"

"You two bastards, let her go right now!"

"Otherwise, we'll call the police!!!"

"What are we waiting for? Call the police! Let's just beat these two freaks up and arrest them!"

"Wait, what's Feng Xu doing here?"

"Wasn't she just a hundred meters away in the water...?"

"That's not important, saving lives is the priority!"

Amidst the discussions, passersby were eager to try it out.

Seeing that they were about to make a move...

Deng Changfeng also became increasingly ruthless.

"All of you, get out of my way!"

"I am an investigator from the Great Xia Special Bureau."

"This person is a criminal. We are investigating a case. If you obstruct official business, you will all be convicted. If you are beaten to death for obstructing official business, you will deserve it!!!"

All that could be heard was Deng Changfeng's low rebuke.

Under normal circumstances, considering the impact on public opinion and other factors, he would never be so radical.

But things are different now.

Hong Tian has given him a death order: if he doesn't produce results today, his future will be ruined.

Public opinion issues can be resolved later.

If your future is gone, then it's all over.

So Deng Changfeng was really going all out. When the passersby heard this and saw Deng Changfeng seriously take out his ID, they were all hesitant and stood frozen in place.

The actress, Feng Xu, frowned immediately upon seeing this.

Deng Changfeng did not waste any more words.

He stared intently at Feng Xu: "Tell me, are you involved in the Soul Qi case and Shang Qiuyun?"

"Is there another mastermind behind this?"

"If so, who is the mastermind?"

"And what do you intend to do with collecting soul energy?"

Having said that, perhaps worried that Feng Xu would be stubborn, Deng Changfeng also warned her fiercely, "Speak quickly, I have limited time. If you don't speak in three seconds, I'll break all four of your limbs!!!"

Deng Changfeng was a fierce and menacing man.

They seem rather impatient.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xu burst out laughing.

"Break my limbs? With your abilities?"

She smiled and glanced at the passersby around her: "Hmph, I thought I could get away with the help of you good-for-nothings."

"They're all cowards."

"But... never mind."

"Since we've been exposed, let's just kill you all to boost our performance and then move on to another location!" she said, and the expression on the face of Deng Changfeng's partner who was controlling Feng Xu began to change.

She was shocked to discover that even her strength as a martial artist who had opened her meridians was no match for Feng Xu.

Isn't she an ordinary person?

How can there be such strong power?

"Oh no! Brother Deng, help me..."

Bang! Crack!

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Xu struck her chest with his palm, breaking her ribs.

Upon seeing this, Deng Changfeng instinctively tried to grab Feng Xu, but Feng Xu countered with a palm strike. Deng Changfeng threw a punch to meet the attack but was also blasted back dozens of steps, knocking down a large number of people.

Deng Changfeng was stunned.

Feng Xu burst out laughing.

"Although I didn't expect or receive any information that the Special Affairs Bureau would be investigating me today..."

"However, you underestimate me too much."

"I've been able to run rampant here for so long..."

"Do you really think I'm incompetent?"

"Hilarious! You bunch of noobs, if I hadn't wanted to keep things quiet, I could have killed as many as you... Tsk, you want to use me to investigate even more things?"

"Daydreaming?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Changfeng's face flushed red with anger.

Unexpectedly, He Li, who arrived at the scene, added insult to injury...

"That's it? You think you can steal my credit and the credit?"

"Are you sure you can do it? Hmm?"

Even if I give you a chance...

"You're all useless too!"

He Li's mocking laughter made Deng Changfeng's blood rush to his head, his throat taste sweet, and he almost vomited blood...
