If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

After the rain, the air in the Qinling Mountains was filled with the earthy smell and the fresh scent of pine needles. The moon struggled to break through the clouds, its pale light dappling the winding, rugged mountain paths.

"Huffing and puffing—"

Heavy breathing broke the deathly silence of the night.

Li Tuantuan felt as if his lungs were two broken bellows, each pull accompanied by a burning pain. Although his panda body, enhanced by the system, possessed the superhuman strength to uproot a willow tree, it didn't mean he didn't feel tired.

After all, what he was dragging in his hands wasn't two bamboo poles, but three large, living people weighing nearly 500 pounds in total.

"What a tragedy..."

As Li Tuantuan moved forward with pigeon-toed steps like a bulldozer, she mentally ranted about the situation.

In my past life, I toiled like a slave in an office building, afraid to even take sick leave for the sake of the so-called "perfect attendance bonus," only to end up dying suddenly at my desk. In this life, I was finally reincarnated as a national treasure, thinking I could live the idyllic life of "being waited on hand and foot, doing nothing but being cute," but what happened?

We'll start by doing transport work in this desolate wilderness!

He glanced back at the three unfortunate men strung together by vines. These three Class A wanted criminals were being dragged along the rocky mountain path like three dead dogs. Their faces were pressed against the ground, their clothes were torn to shreds, and their exposed skin was covered in bloody welts. They were groaning and moaning, too weak even to beg for mercy.

"These three are so heavy!" Li Tuantuan thought angrily. "If they don't give me that box of special-edition Fuji apples when we get to the police station, this isn't over!"

The thought of the words "police station" made Li Tuantuan's steps quicken instantly.

That was the final destination of his rebirth, the beacon of hope for him to enter the "system".

In his mind, a beautiful picture had already formed: a spacious and bright single animal enclosure, central air conditioning with a constant temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, milk delivered to him on time every day, and a young lady who would personally groom him...

Once these three pledges of loyalty are delivered, all of this will be within reach!

……

Meanwhile, at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, at the Taiping Town Police Station.

3:25 a.m.

The incandescent light bulb in the duty room emitted a slight buzzing sound and flickered occasionally, casting the lonely figure inside the room in an elongated and shortened shape.

Trainee policewoman Lin Wan was slumped over her desk, her chin resting on the back of her hand, staring blankly at the bowl of braised beef noodles in front of her that had completely mushyed up.

The noodle soup was covered with solidified red oil, looking completely unappetizing, just like her terrible mood at that moment.

"It's so hard... Being a police officer is really too hard..."

Lin Wan sighed and rubbed her aching temples.

This was her third month of internship at the Taiping Town Police Station, and also the most difficult week. The poaching gang, which had been operating across multiple provinces, had vanished into the vast Qinling Mountains like ghosts. Chief Wang Zhenhua and his team had been searching the mountains for three whole days, but apart from a few discarded animal traps, they hadn't found a single thing.

I was getting eight phone calls a day from my superiors, it was driving me crazy. The atmosphere in the office was as tense as a pressure cooker about to explode.

As a newcomer who stayed behind, Lin Wan not only had to answer emergency calls that could ring at any time, but also organize mountains of case files, and was constantly worried about the safety of her colleagues who went into the mountains.

"Gurgle—"

My stomach let out a disobedient growl.

Lin Wan gave a wry smile, picked up a plastic fork, and stirred the bowl of cold noodles.

At this moment, her dark blue short-sleeved police uniform, wrinkled from long hours of desk work, clung to her body. Even in this state of exhaustion, her stunning beauty could not be concealed.

Beneath that neat, ear-length short hair was a delicate face no bigger than the palm of your hand. Her fair skin seemed to glow under the light, her nose was high and straight, and her eyes and brows exuded a heroic air.

What's most striking is her figure, which is strikingly different from her usual appearance.

Although the police uniform was standard, it looked exceptionally tight on her. The silver police badge on her chest rose and fell slightly with her breath, and her proud curves seemed as if the buttons might burst open at any moment.

Further down, her slender waist was cinched tightly by a black tactical belt, its delicate shape suggesting immense power. Her long legs were crossed under the table, black training trousers encasing her straight, taut legs, extending all the way into her thick-soled black combat boots.

These legs are long, straight, and full of power.

If Li Tuantuan's previous life, that "otaku," had seen this, she would have licked the phone screen raw and yelled, "Sister, arrest me!"

But at this very moment, this policewoman who has captured the hearts of countless people is on the verge of collapse.

"God above," Lin Wan clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly to the ceiling, "even if a god were to fall down and help us, please! I'll do anything to get those three bastards back! Even... even if it means shoveling police dog poop for a month, I'd do it!"

The moment she finished speaking—

"state!!!"

A loud bang erupted without warning in the quiet of the night.

The sound didn't sound like someone knocking on the door at all; it sounded more like a huge rock slamming into the thick iron security door of the police station.

The entire window frame of the duty room trembled, the pen holder on the table was knocked over, and the soup from the bowl of instant noodles splashed out.

"what!"

Lin Wan was so startled that she jumped up from her chair instinctively.

The fatigue and drowsiness from before vanished in an instant, replaced by extreme tension and vigilance.

Who would smash the police station door so violently so late at night?

Could it be that those vicious thugs, cornered and desperate, have come to attack the police station?!

Once this thought took hold, it grew wildly like weeds. Lin Wan's heart pounded violently in her chest. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

His right hand swiftly reached for his lower back, drew his extendable baton, and with a powerful flick, it snapped open and locked in place. His left hand gripped the walkie-talkie tightly on his shoulder, and he crouched slightly, assuming a standard defensive stance.

"Who?!"

Lin Wan's voice was somewhat shrill due to nervousness, but it still sounded a little thin in the empty room.

There was no answer from outside the door.

Only the knocking sound, like a death knell, rang out again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

This time, the pace was even faster, and it even carried a strange... anger?

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

Lin Wan gritted her teeth. In this police station with only two elderly, weak, and sick people left behind, she had to step forward.

She moved slowly along the wall to the door, but instead of opening it abruptly, she peered through the peephole.

The view through the cat's eyes was somewhat distorted, and with no streetlights outside, it was pitch black.

But vaguely, she seemed to see a... huge... black and white... sphere?
