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

At the entrance of the Yinsha Relics.

"The area ahead is an abnormal lockdown zone!"

"Stop coming... What... what's the reason?!"

Upon seeing someone descend from the sky, the Rongcheng investigators stationed there instinctively reached out to intercept them, but upon recognizing the person, their hearts pounded and they couldn't help but take two steps back.

"It's me, are you going to stop me?"

He glanced at the two investigators at the door and asked.

The latter chuckled awkwardly, "No... I wouldn't dare. Please go ahead. Our Captain Tang is also inside keeping watch."

They quickly gestured.

He Li did not rush in immediately.

He stared at the two investigators in front of him with suspicion.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

He vaguely sensed that there was something inexplicably wrong with the two investigators in front of him, but they seemed perfectly normal and there was nothing special about them.

Therefore, He Li cannot be certain.

He then asked, "Didn't you notice the anomalies at Qin Yuanjin's remains before?"

"This... I haven't found anything."

Upon hearing this, the two shook their heads with stiff smiles.

"Perhaps he has some clever way of hiding it."

"It's difficult for us to detect due to our limited capabilities."

Before He Li could respond, Yu Ji, her beautiful eyes fixed on them, sneered repeatedly: "Did you really not notice, or did you notice but pretend you didn't?"

Hmm? The two men's gazes sharpened upon hearing this.

"What do you mean by that?"

One of them glared at Yu Ji.

"We admit that we are not very capable."

"But you can't slander us by saying we deliberately let Qin Yuan in and didn't report it, can you?"

"We can't afford to take that blame!"

At this point, his teammate next to him also said aggrievedly, "You can't just slander us because you're good at it, can you? Just because we're not good enough, does that mean we deserve to be slandered and bullied by you?"

"Are you guys even allowed to act like this?"

"We've stood guard here, and even if we haven't done anything meritorious, we've certainly put in the hard work, yet you treat us like this..."

"Are you trying to fool me, thinking Chengdu has no one to rely on?"

The two of them spoke louder and louder.

The other investigators stationed in Chengdu seemed to have heard the commotion and rushed over.

The leader was a one-eyed young man.

His name was Tang Li, and he seemed to be the captain of the garrison squad.

"What's all this noise about?"

Upon arriving at the scene, Tang Li looked around and frowned as he gazed at his two teammates guarding the goal.

The two men pointed at He Li and the others with a wronged expression and said, "They came to the Yinsha Ruins and immediately accused us of deliberately letting criminals in and not reporting it."

"Isn't this deliberate slander?"

"We know they're very capable, so we've already given in and not stopped them from going in..."

"And yet they still bully us like this..."

"Does being strong make you superior?"

"They went too far."

"Team Leader Tang, let's report this to the bureau. We Rongcheng investigators can't keep getting bullied here!" they said, while the other Rongcheng investigators were also quite annoyed.

They stared at He Li and the other three with eyes full of anger.

The out-of-town investigators who saw He Lifei pass by nearby couldn't help but frown...

"He Li and his group went too far this time!"

"We're all investigators, even if they're weak..."

"But everyone is working hard to protect the Great Xia, they shouldn't be slandered like this."

"Exactly! Besides, catching a criminal is a merit and a reward. What normal investigator would pretend not to see a criminal running towards them?"

"This slander is completely unreasonable."

"That's right, even if you're strong, you can't just talk nonsense."

"Even if it was a misunderstanding, shouldn't you apologize to these investigators for saying those things?"

The investigators frowned and whispered among themselves.

They didn't look at He Li and the others with friendly eyes either.

But they turned a deaf ear to reason.

He squinted at Tang Li and the others opposite him, because he found that Tang Li and his group, who had arrived later, gave him the same uncomfortable feeling as the two investigators before.

Adding to what Yu Ji just said...

He can now basically conclude that Tang Li and his group of investigators stationed there are problematic.

I just don't know...

What exactly happened to them?

As he was pondering this, Yu Ji suddenly leaned close to He Li's ear and whispered on tiptoe, "These people aren't investigators; they're all just in human skin..."

"What a weirdo!!!"

"I contacted the leader, Captain Tang, and discovered he was plotting how to escalate the situation, how to incite conflict between us and the Rongcheng Special Affairs Bureau, and make Rongcheng even more chaotic!"

"And he seems to be thinking..."

"The Rongcheng investigator who went in earlier should die."

"Ideally, Qin Yuan and they would both suffer heavy losses..."

What? They're all monsters?

He Li was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Is this for real?

Then you have to eat your fill, right?

As for these monsters in human skin, what are their schemes and why are they willing to see Qin Yuan, their accomplice, fight the Rongcheng investigators to a standstill...

None of that matters. Just beat these guys half to death and they'll confess.

Thinking of this, He Li grinned maliciously.

Immediately, his eyes lit up with golden light...

Buzz! Snap! !

The next second, the investigator closest to him was grabbed by Ling Nian and landed in He Li's hands.

Before anyone else could react...

He Li had already reached out and stabbed the investigator in the abdomen...

Pfft!!!

"Aaaaaaah!!!" Amidst splattering blood and intense pain, the investigator, whose abdomen had been ripped open, contorted his face and let out a sharp, piercing scream.

This unexpected situation left the surrounding investigators and Tang Li, among others, both shocked and frightened...

"What...what are you doing?!"

"You madman! Murderer!!!"

"You've already slandered us enough, now you want to use your strength to kill us?"

"You...you're completely unfit to be an investigator!"

"Quickly! Report to the General Administration!!!"

"Let them send more powerful experts? This... He Li must be insane! He's killing his own people! If this madman isn't eliminated, he'll probably kill even more people!"

Tang Li and the others roared in grief and anger.

Seeing this, the other investigators around also intended to help Tang Li and his team deal with He Li.

However, just as they were about to make their move...

"Wait...wait a minute?"

"Look at him, he seems to... seems to have pulled something out of that person's body?"

"That's... a monster!!!"

Amid gasps from the crowd, He Li ruthlessly opened his mouth and devoured the monstrous creature hidden beneath human skin, then glared fiercely at Tang Li and the others, whose faces were grim...

"Is it fun to play the role of an investigator while wearing a human skin?"

"Still feeling aggrieved about it?"

"Trying to gain sympathy?"

"Trying to incite others to attack me?"

"You think I won't dare to lay a hand on you just because I can't see through your true nature?"

"Hehehe~ You're overthinking it."

"Today, none of you will escape!"

"You...all of you must die!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant golden light shone forth. Tang Li and the other monsters' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated, shouting, "Run!!!"

As soon as he said this, the monsters around him, who already knew they had been exposed, looked at He Li, whose mouth was full of blood, and all of them fled in terror, scrambling and crawling away.

Unfortunately, He Li is too strong.

They had barely run two steps when they were enveloped and suppressed by an overwhelming spiritual force.

The pressure brought by that spiritual thought was too heavy.

They were pressed to the ground, feeling as if their bones and internal organs were about to be crushed by that invisible force as heavy as Mount Tai, which made it difficult for them to struggle and cough up blood.

And the human skin on them...

It began to break due to the immense force it endured.

As one after another, bizarre and grotesque creatures emerged from the tattered human skin...

The other investigators nearby immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Holy crap! They're all... monsters?"

"This...this is way too much!"

"And they're all wearing human skin?"

"Where did this human skin come from? It makes them look exactly like real people. We...we were almost fooled by them!"

"Holy crap, I can't even imagine what would have happened if we'd been fooled and actually attacked He Li..."

"How terrible must it be now!"

"Maybe he'll just smash it into mincemeat?"

"Stop talking, I'm already starting to feel scared!"

"None of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that the Special Affairs Bureau has been infiltrated..."

"With so many strange creatures here, one can only imagine how many more monstrous beings, disguised in human skin and outwardly befriending us, lurk in places unknown to us?"

The more they talked, the more cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

These monsters are terrifying.

If He Li and his team hadn't been so capable, they would have definitely been outmaneuvered and defeated here today.

Thinking of all this, they couldn't help but look with awe at the ferocious figure that was gathering the half-dead monsters and then opening its mouth to devour them raw...
