Transform into a human

Perhaps only the evil heart knew how furious Yue Lai was at that time. It felt a rage that could burn away order, and for this reason, it even allowed Yue Lai to obtain its power without sacrifice, just to reap more delicious food.

As night fell, the bustling museum fell silent again, and Yuehao followed Mo back to the elves' dormitory.

Professor Corleone stubbornly lingered at the dormitory entrance, repeating the points he had already warned him about:

"The university town has its own unique characteristics, and the history museum is even more special. Allowing you to stay overnight in the Elf Dormitory already violates the rules, Ms. Yue. Please don't do anything to put us in a difficult position!"

"I know, I know," Yue Hao waved his hand boredly. "It's just that we can't go out at night, you've said it a million times."

Corleone was still somewhat uneasy:

"Besides, there might be some other unusual situations. No matter what happens, do not go to the collection area!"

"Don't worry about it at all. I'm a federal employee, after all. Would I be so ungrateful?"

The old professor then grunted in acknowledgment, closed the door, and left. Unexpectedly, Yue Hao's expression changed instantly, and a glint of... cunning gleam appeared in his eyes.

Mo knew that this guy's old habit had relapsed; he felt uncomfortable if he didn't take risks for a while.

However, on the other hand, she wouldn't have chosen a career as an intelligence agent if she hadn't been so adventurous. It's all Yue Lai's fault. Yue Hao was taken to various historical sites and wonders when she was only a few months old. It would be strange if she didn't have an adventurous spirit.

"Xiaodong, do you know what that old man meant by 'abnormal situation'?"

The snow elf tilted its head: "It seems like some evil relics are causing trouble?"

"Then he must be lying to you. The conditions for the preservation of relics in museums must be very clear, and there is no possibility of risk spillover."

Mo said helplessly:

"Good kitty, we're going to explore the Ghost Society tomorrow, can't you just hold out for one more night?"

Yue Hao instantly lost her temper:

"Don't call me by my nickname!"

"Besides, this isn't a relapse. Don't you think about it? The National University and the History Museum are so close together; maybe there's some connection between them?"

Mo turned over in bed, her back to Yue Hao: "Then you go by yourself, Dong and I are going to sleep first."

Yue Hao sneered:

"Mo, you don't want Yue Lai to find out about the skin replacement, do you?"

"You!" Mo gasped, "Then let's explode!"

"Explode if you want!"

The two sisters, whose bond was stronger than gold, stood in a stalemate for a long time, but Mo finally gave in—Yue Hao could at worst run back to the capital planet, but she had nowhere to run.

"Go away, you stinky cat."

……

Outside the museum, Yue Lai put one hand on Li's shoulder and held a visitor guide map in the other.

"According to Senior Lou's plan, the entire security system is concentrated at the north and south gates of the museum. If we want to avoid it, we have to sneak into the staff dormitory and enter the exhibition hall through the internal passage."

Li pursed her lips: "What's the specific situation with the three security personnel?"

"One is at the main entrance, one is in the dormitory area, and one is inside the exhibition hall."

"All three are retired police officers and spies from the four departments. Faced with their keen observation, even a cunning and ruthless individual like the White Stripe in the Waves cannot escape their notice."

"So, Li, your task is to lure away the security guard at the dormitory entrance."

As agreed, Weisswood would engage in some "borderline" behavior from a distance, which would be encountered by Miss Wales, a police officer on leave. Wales would then use her position to request assistance from security personnel, allowing Yue Lai to sneak in.

It was a clumsy attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but who would doubt an innocent child?

Li forced herself to suppress her guilt. The original name of the Pure Child Path was "Cultivation". At this moment, nothing was more "real" than avenging Grandpa Ji.

"Let's get started!"

The two quietly arrived outside the dormitory building, only to be surprised to find that the spy was lying right there!

The original plan was disrupted. Yue Lai rushed to his side and found that the other party had only fainted. After carefully examining the traces at the scene, he came to the following conclusion:

"Li, we might have run into someone in the same line of work!"

……

On the other side, Mo was panting heavily, still shaken: "Yue Hao, isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"

"What's wrong with that?" The top agent was clearly a repeat offender, showing no remorse for ambushing a retired comrade. "It was his fault for stopping us."

The constable never expected that his well-intentioned reminder would be met with a sneak attack from two beautiful young girls who lacked any sense of martial ethics!

Unfortunately, Yue Hao was a master of four martial arts, and his close combat skills were among the strongest of the twelve capable men. Coupled with his calculated attack on Yue Hao's unsuspecting opponent, it was no wonder that the Divine Constable was instantly killed.

Mo began to regret her hasty decision tonight, but now she had no choice but to follow Yue Hao to the bitter end. And it would be best if she could actually find something out, so that she could use the pretext of investigating a case to cover it up afterward.

Otherwise, since he was already a scapegoat, adding another sentence would mean he'd never be able to return to Esfri in this century...

But fate had other plans. Mo was new to the museum and completely unfamiliar with its layout, as was Yue Hao. The two of them ended up getting lost in the dim lighting...

"Yuehao, haven't we already gone around in circles several times?"

Yue Hao was furious: "What kind of museum sets itself up like a magic formation?!"

"A formation?"

"Even an idiot like me wouldn't get lost in a museum. This is clearly the 'Qimen Dunjia' technique of one of the extraordinary masters, a master of esoteric arts!"

Mo thought Yue Hao was trying to fool her, but when she turned her head, she saw two furtive figures reflected in the glass display case. Thinking there was something wrong with her new leather upholstery, she blinked and realized the figures hadn't changed at all. She quickly tugged at Yue Hao:

"Hello, I see Yue Lai and the policewoman."

"Why am I hallucinating?" Yue Hao muttered, glancing at the glass display case. Then, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief. "Oh no, they're inside the formation too!"

"Aaaaaah, this damned Qimen Dunjia! We don't even know where to run now!"

On the other side, Yue Lai was showing off to Li his years of experience in tomb raiding and searching for lost artifacts.

"The museum's layout is completely different during the day and at night. No wonder the museum staff are not afraid of trouble. The self-defense system and the art of divination can avoid 99% of accidents."

Li thought about it seriously for a moment: "So, will the Zhenhai Sword Sect open its gates?"

"No, according to the imagery, it should fall in the Kan Palace, which would allow it to go a step further and achieve the meaning of earth overcoming water. The Life and Death Gates both belong to earth, so it should be either in the Life Gate or the Death Gate."

"Combined with the history of Zhenhai Sword, such a great massacre must have occurred at the Gate of Death. This way, we can make use of the souls that died under the sword back then and turn them into our own security force."

"So we go to places where there are many evil relics or vengeful spirits."

Mr. Li felt like he was courting death.

As the two were talking, they turned a corner and bumped into Yue Hao and Mo, who were in a panic and didn't know where to go.

"Yue Hao? Winona Loan?"

Yue Lai was stunned, then a murderous intent rose within him. This Qimen Dunjia could even see into his mind. How could you just casually look into someone's thoughts?

Evil Heart was also excited; another sum of money had been made!

Unexpectedly, these two vengeful spirits were completely different from the ones they encountered in the school history museum the night before. One of them, Yue Hao's vengeful spirit, let out a mournful roar, then picked up Winona and ran away without looking back.

Now Xie Xin and Yue Lai are at a loss. The vengeful spirit can still run away? And if you're going to run away, what kind of posture is that, a princess carry?

And why are you yelling so fiercely!

"Yuehao, if you're going to run, just run. Why are you yelling so loudly?"

The clockwork sprite felt like its gears were about to stop spinning, and asked the question that had been bothering it in Yue Hao's arms.

Even while carrying a clockwork sprite, Yue Hao's speed was by no means slow:

"Of course! What if I didn't disguise myself as some kind of monster and get punished later?!"

"Oh, oh." Mo felt a surge of admiration. In such a tense moment, Yue Hao was still able to come up with all sorts of clever ideas. He truly deserves to be called a federal agent!

"Yuehao, you're so clever!"

"Of course!" Yue Hao said smugly. "Don't worry, with your speed, you definitely can't catch me!"

She's a man of four skills, and Yue Lai's only skill to improve his physical abilities is the "Innocent Calf" technique. Even with a 60% reduction in strength, how can he possibly win her over?

The top agent clearly hadn't expected Yue Lai to replace his heart with an evil relic; just a few breaths later, he heard a voice like that of a demon from hell:

"Huh, these two don't look like vengeful spirits."

Mo: "Awoo~"

Yue Lai raised an eyebrow.

It's confirmed, it really is those two guys!

While Yue Hao was holding Mo with both hands, Yue Lai grabbed her by the back of her neck and then gently shook her with practiced skill. Her clothes fell off like snowflakes, and Hao Mao Mao instantly returned to her original form, transforming into a small, elfin cat!

Her fur was as soft as silver snow, and her emerald eyes were like shining gems. Her tail shimmered with starlight, and her pointed ears trembled slightly, as if holding the secrets of the entire forest.

"Yue Lai, put me down, meow!"

Yue Lai ignored her, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and gently shook her, looking at the wind-up sprite who had fallen to the ground: "Mo, have you thought of an excuse?"

"It was Yue Hao who tricked me into changing the skin!"

The elf cat's eyes widened: "Yue Lai, she's spouting nonsense!"

Yue Lai wouldn't wrong the good cat on this point; didn't he know how much Miss Elf wanted to change her coat?

"There was a reason why I didn't want you to change the skin, but not only did you change it, you ended up looking like Winona Loan," Yue Lai said helplessly, rubbing his forehead. "The latter was probably Yue Hao's idea."

"That's right, that's right." Mo nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Seeing her teammate's performance, Yue Hao felt utterly hopeless.

Tired, destroy it.

At this moment, Li finally couldn't contain her curiosity and gently poked the elf cat's soft belly, which made Yue grimace.

This wasn't the place to lecture people, so Yue Lai became more serious and asked why Mo and Yue Hao were there.

"I ran into Yue Hao at the museum; she was in the police station on official business..."

Cat breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully she hadn't revealed her affair with Xiaodong.

"So you're also involved with the Ghost Society... "

"Meow? Bro, why did you use 'also'?"

Yue Lai briefly recounted his experiences, including his adventures in the school history museum.

Li Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed. She hadn't realized that so much had happened to her while she was unconscious, and they hadn't told her about it afterwards!

"Damn it, how could there be such a pest in the police headquarters? Officer, don't be sad, this operator will definitely get justice for you!"

"But could you put me down first, meow?"

She was incredibly embarrassed because she hadn't prepared clothes for her cat beforehand! Luckily, everyone present was female, or she would have wanted to die!

Um, Yue Lai doesn't count.

Upon hearing this, the ruthless iron hand finally released her neck. The elf cat lightly leaped into the pile of clothes, then instantly transformed back into human form, her clothes neatly arranged as if she had never taken them off.

They are clearly extremely skilled.

"In that case, my goal is the same as yours, brother. We're both aiming to take down the Ghost Society."

"No wonder they sent me here," Yue Hao suddenly realized. She had seen this kind of thing many times in the power circles of the Federation. "According to the 'true history' you saw, after the Battle of the Raging Waves, humanity must have done something extremely disgraceful."

"That big shot might still be alive, and the National University is involved with him. They don't want their past misdeeds to be exposed, so they choose to cover it up with a false history, which is why this little scourge has dragged on until today."

"The solution is simple: just go back to real history and behead them again. If they could do it back then, they can do it now."

"And that should be my task: to investigate thoroughly, even to obtain conclusive evidence, before handing it over to another big shot."

"Strange, why didn't those old men explain things to me clearly..."

"So we still need to get the Zhenhai Sword first, and bring it up at the welcome ceremony." Yue Lai nodded in affirmation, as if he were possessed and determined to get the Zhenhai Sword.

"There's a scout from the Four Gates guarding the Zhenhai Sword ahead. We need to deal with him without alerting the magic array and active protection system."

"That's easy," Yue Hao sneered, speaking with self-righteousness, "Mo and I will ambush him!"

……

Zhuo Jian was dozing off against the display case in front of the Zhenhai Sword.

It's no wonder he let his guard down. First, this is the police headquarters, the police's main base. Second, there are a group of talented people from the University City branch and the National University surrounding the museum. Third, there are his colleagues, the autonomous defense system, and the magic array. If a bandit really came to him... why would he be a thief if he had that kind of courage and luck?

During an operation, he suffered an old injury that was difficult to heal due to the evil relic. The superintendent assigned him an easy job, and he hadn't seen a living person at night for many years.

But today seems a little different.

An extremely beautiful girl in an employee uniform slowly approached, holding an adorable elf cat in her arms, with a small apron tied to the cat's bottom.

Considering the time and place, it's still a bit strange.

Although some disobedient elves or naturally mischievous fairies had sneaked over before, Zhuo Jian did not let his guard down. He immediately used the skills he had honed over half his life—being quick to react to rumors and having keen observation skills.

"The sound of gears, the newly changed skin... I did hear that a new Clockwork Elf has arrived in the Elf district."

He was relieved: "Don't go any further, this isn't a place for you."

Mo rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Uncle, where is this? I think I'm lost."

Zhuo Jian sensed the location of the Qimen Dunjia formation for today, took out a piece of paper, drew a simple map with two strokes, and handed it to the clockwork elf.

"Follow this procedure."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Need not……"

Before the word "thank you" could even be uttered, a cat's fist suddenly slammed into the air.

Zhuo Jian's last thought was:

"This cat is incredibly strong..."
