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

"What did you just say?"

"How can Heli communicate with the dead?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Lin Fan frowned, clearly not quite believing it.

After all, this is too outrageous; the person is dead, how can he communicate with others?

But what about Jiang Han...

But it forced him to believe it.

"It's true!" Jiang Han sighed through her watch. "I went back to check on things shortly after you left, and found He Li talking to thin air like a madman."

"I really thought he was having an episode, but it turned out he was able to communicate with the deceased."

"He was asking Master Mingxuan a question at the time."

"And he clearly asked something."

"I was going to ask about it..."

"But they treated me like a thief, not giving me a chance to ask questions or even eavesdrop..." Hearing Jiang Han say this, Lin Fan had no choice but to believe it.

But... what kind of strange and bizarre things has that kid He Li eaten?

How can they possess such outrageous abilities?

Lin Fan felt a little uncomfortable.

Not long ago, he was absolutely certain that He Li would also be helpless and unable to find any clues, but the slap in the face came too quickly. He had barely landed when He Li already had clues.

And what about He Li's supernatural powers...?

"What the hell level of supernatural power is that?"

"Eating monsters grants you their abilities..."

"This kind of heaven-defying supernatural power..."

"Why haven't I awakened?"

Lin Fan couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

He felt that he was better than He Li in every way, whether it was his background or other aspects, after all, he was a talented person who grew up in Shanghai and received elite education.

On the other hand, what about He Li?

According to the information, he was not only an orphan, but also did not have any remarkable achievements before his awakening.

"How unfair is the way of heaven!!!"

After comparing them, Lin Fan looked up at the sky and blurted out under the influence of his displeasure.

Jiang Han seemed to have heard it too...

"Brother Fan... are you alright?"

She asked cautiously.

Lin Fan snapped out of his daze upon hearing this: "It's nothing!"

"That's good!" Jiang Han continued, "Then I'll head over there right away..."

"Wait!" Lin Fan interrupted her.

"You don't need to come over for now."

Lin Fan's lips curled into a smile: "Now that He Li has obtained a new clue, he'll definitely make a move, even if he's unwilling to tell us what he got..."

"But as long as he takes action, we can deduce the clues he has obtained from his behavior."

"So, you need to keep an eye on them."

"Keep me informed about his situation as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Han looked troubled.

"Brother Fan, I... I'm afraid I'll just shamelessly follow them around for no reason..."

"Then they'll probably find a way to make fun of me..."

As she spoke, Lin Fan shook his head.

"Bear with it, the important thing is to focus on the big picture."

"You also know about He Li's extraordinary abilities."

"No monster survives his hands."

"If he finds the Dragon Lord first... if he catches that real dragon with ten horns first, then all our efforts of traveling all the way from Shanghai to Shuzhou will have been for nothing, won't they?"

At this point, Lin Fan comforted him, "It's alright, judging by the progress, this will be over soon."

"After all, many members of the Bailong Society have already been dealt with."

"That Dragon Lord can't sit still."

"Once we contain the ten horns and open that ruin... we might find the history of the erased Blue Star, and perhaps even the artifacts of ancient Qi cultivators."

"We may discover and embark on a path beyond martial arts to truly become transcendent beings..."

Although I know Lin Fan is just making empty promises.

But Jiang Han nodded anyway.

Firstly, finding the true dragon is indeed very important; many important figures in Shanghai are waiting for news from them.

Secondly, she also harbored some expectations, feeling that perhaps what Lin Fan said could really come true.

So, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Oh well!"

"That's right!" Lin Fan's lips curled up. "Just send me messages anytime. I'll also use my connections in Shanghai to investigate the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Worship Society..."

"I know……"

After the communication was interrupted, Jiang Han looked back at the room where He Li and the others were, her face contorted in a grimace. However, she still gritted her teeth and reluctantly walked in.

Her sudden return surprised Yu Ji and Zhao Hu, who thought she had already left.

"Why are you back again?"

"Aren't you going to find your partner, Lin Fan?"

Yu Ji frowned and asked.

Jiang Han chuckled awkwardly, hesitant to speak, unsure of what to say to smooth things over and continue following along. However, He Li suddenly smiled and spoke up to help her out of the predicament.

"It's okay, let her come."

"It doesn't matter if there are more people or fewer people."

Hmm? Yu Ji was suspicious upon hearing this.

She knew very well that He Li wasn't the kind of person who would knowingly drag someone along if they weren't on his side, unless he saw something of value in that person...

Thinking of this, Yu Ji suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Han, secretly activating his synchronization supernatural power.

Jiang Han was unaware of this.

However, she wasn't stupid. He Li's sudden acceptance made her realize that He Li had ulterior motives, which made her uneasy and wondering what He Li wanted to do.

And just as she was feeling uneasy...

He Lisuo spoke again.

"Look, I've already accepted you, so won't you tell me your purpose in searching for the true dragon? And what is this ruin and erased history that Lin Fan told you about?"

"Tell me more, I'd like to hear it too."

He spoke with a smile, but Jiang Han's face suddenly changed, her scalp tingled, and she looked somewhat terrified.

"You...how could you..."

"How would I know?"

"Of course I listened to what you guys told me!"

He Li grinned and said, "You all know I've eaten a lot of monsters and gained many abilities, but why didn't you think that I might, possibly, have the ability to enhance my hearing?"

boom!!!

He Li's words struck Jiang Han like a thunderbolt, leaving her head buzzing.

"Don't be surprised. Since Lin Fan asked you to keep an eye on me and report to him, just do as he says."

"But when will you give me an answer...?"

"What specific message will be given...?"

"Then you'll have to see how I look at you."

"You don't have any objections, do you?"

He was still smiling, but Jiang Han felt a chill run down her spine. She looked at He Li with fear in her eyes, trembling like a frightened little rabbit.

"No...no objection..." Despite her fear, she was getting a little annoyed that He Li wasn't getting a response...

She nodded hastily in response.

He Li was very satisfied with what he saw.

"Now, let's talk about those questions from earlier."

"True dragons, relics, history!"

He asked again, and Jiang Han hesitated for a moment, seemingly struggling with whether to really reveal it, but then thought that this matter would probably be exposed after Lin Fan took in the ten-horned dragon...

She finally admitted honestly, "Six months ago... a fairy mountain appeared off the coast of Shanghai..."

"We can't climb that mountain."

"We can't even get close."

"But along with the appearance of the Immortal Mountain, there are also many new spatial anomalies in various areas of Shanghai, and we have discovered from those places that Earth seems to have a history that has been erased..."

"We call that period of history..."

"The Era of Qi Refining!"

A fairyland at sea? The era of Qi cultivation?

He Li's eyes flickered upon hearing this. Why did these words sound so familiar when they were put together?

"Penglai Immortal Island, cultivating immortality and refining qi?"

He uttered those eight words almost subconsciously.

Jiang Han nodded and then shook her head upon hearing this.

"It's just a guess, but we don't have enough information to be 100% sure... and our search for the true dragon is also related to opening a certain special relic."

"Although I don't know where the news came from..."

"But I've heard that if you find the true dragon, you can unlock the ruins and even ascend to the immortal mountain..."

Jiang Han's words finally helped He understand the purpose of Lin Fan's trip to Shuzhou to investigate the Dragon Worship Society. It turned out that... he had heard of the existence of dragons and came to find the real dragon.

A true dragon... that's a ten-horned dragon, right?

"How interesting," He Li sneered.

After Jiang Han finished speaking, Yu Ji nodded.

"She wasn't lying; it was the truth."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Han's eyes twitched.

What kind of person is this? Doesn't he have any trust at all? He started giving her a lie detector test without saying a word? She didn't even want to think about what would have happened if she had made up a lie earlier.

"You two are truly a perfect team!"

"They're all the same!"

Staring at Yu Ji, who appeared quiet and pretty, like the girl next door, but was actually incredibly cunning, Jiang Han couldn't help but mentally rant.

However, Yu Ji didn't care what she thought.

After a moment's thought, she suddenly revealed something even more astonishing to He Li...
