Transform into a human

Seeing Yue Lai's wide eyes, Li's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"You, you..."

The perceptive Yue Lai quickly guessed why Li had appeared in Esfri and become the town's sheriff.

Not everyone who has gone through these things will still have hope for the police force.

"Didn't the director bless you?"

With that person's attention, Li's development in the police force can no longer be described as "smooth sailing," and he is almost destined to become one of the top leaders in the future.

"You're smart," the girl said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "It's true that the director is my idol, but one thing is one thing. I'm too lazy to deal with those guys anymore. Coincidentally, Yue Hao asked me if I wanted to transfer my file to the Investigation Bureau, so I just agreed."

As a tool for the federal government to control supernatural powers, joining the FBI is certainly not as easy as Li said. Background checks alone can screen out a large number of people, and her congresswoman mother must have played a significant role—even if she did nothing.

"The Investigation Bureau?" Yue Lai was stunned. "Then why are you working as a sheriff here?"

Before Li could answer, he asked again:

"Is the Bureau of Investigation planning to take action against Windmill City?"

Li nodded, then shook his head: "I only learned about the existence of Windmill City after I joined the company... It's not really about 'taking action,' but the Investigation Bureau will assign sheriffs to various windmill towns within the territory to conduct preliminary surveillance."

"What, you won't let me in? Do you want to get arrested?"

Yue Lai's little scheme was seen through, so he had no choice but to step aside and show his "humble abode" to the guests once again.

It is truly a humble abode.

Li curled her lip in disdain: "The mayor told me to stay in your pigsty temporarily. Which room is empty?"

"Don't talk about yourself like that..."

As soon as Yue Lai said those words, he regretted it. He hadn't even brought up the old grudge about the "gift" he gave before leaving, and now he was being so sarcastic. Li Bu couldn't help but get angry with him.

Strangely, Li didn't say anything and walked upstairs without looking back.

"If you don't tell me, I'll choose one myself~"

Yue Lai slowly opened his mouth wide—was this girl possessed by someone else?

Something's not right, something's really not right.

Based on his long experience as a "bad guy," this new sheriff must be up to no good!

"What was I about to do just now?"

As he was reflecting, the book "Helena's Detective Stories" on the living room table suddenly flew to his eyes, the pages turned to the title page, and a new title appeared on the first page:

Chapter 1: Hua Leisi's Revenge

Yue Lai was both amused and exasperated: "I almost forgot about you."

This Tier 3 relic from Helena still carries the deceased's last wish—that all the truth would be revealed. Combined with some of the characteristics of a spy, it has acquired its current special effect.

[Clarification]

All the doubts that arise in Yue Lai's life will be reflected in this story, and each chapter will provide a clue that can only be discovered from God's perspective.

In addition to this, it has a second effect: [bringing the suspect to justice].

As the name suggests, whenever a question is resolved, the protagonist of the story will be imprisoned in the story. The greater the cause and effect involved in the question and the deeper the water involved, the stronger the coercive force of the "Story Collection" in bringing the case to justice.

As a level three relic, its maximum value is even enough to imprison a woman known for her ceremonial hairpins!

"This is tricky. I need to learn to control my thoughts from now on, lest I accidentally lock Li up in jail one day..."

Although due to the special nature of his original body, the rigid requirements of the host's cultivation level for each level of relics can be basically ignored for him, this does not mean that Yue Lai can fully unleash the potential of level three or even higher level relics.

For example, the Zhenhai Sword is completely different in his hands and in Xingxiu's hands; he can't even bring out any of the Zhenhai Sword's characteristics.

"Only by being promoted to the 'Hairpin Flower Guest' can one selectively choose which questions to answer."

As if sensing his thoughts, the story collection affectionately nuzzled Yue Lai's cheek with the corner of its page, seemingly encouraging him to improve himself rapidly.

His conscience trembled with disdain, conveying the same message to Yue Lai—

Petty people only expect favors from others, and are ungrateful for those favors; they only use flattery to protect themselves.

"???"

"Wow, how come you're so cultured?"

The deliberate display of conscience yielded results, and it sang with triumphant tremors.

"Stop beating so fast, you're messing up my heart rate."

However, Yue Lai finally understood what this guy meant. During the hearing, when the director helped him transform the evil heart, he also slipped in some personal agenda. It wasn't some kind of magical method to influence his thoughts, but rather a massive amount of cultural knowledge that was all about doing good, in the hope that it would have a positive influence on the future host.

Conscience, having just transformed into a divine relic, is in a stage of great enlightenment and naturally takes on the shape of a director.

Yue Lai wanted to complain but didn't know where to start, and in the end only managed to utter two words—

"Outrageous!"

He always felt like he had been NTR'd.

His conscience is "heart to heart" with him, so it naturally knows what the host is thinking.

It also conveys a new meaning:

Goodness is the foundation of fortune, evil is the root of misfortune, and goodness is goodness.

Speak like a human being!

As long as you do good, why worry about so much?

Yue Lai was too lazy to complain anymore. He couldn't say anything about that director, but he was definitely an old-fashioned person from the Great Yu Empire!

However, upon closer examination, his gains from his time in the police force far exceeded the two relics of conscience and paper airplane. Putting aside the trace of divine authority that was inconvenient to reveal, the greatest gain was the improvement of his own cultivation.

He had always thought that a "scoundrel" had to hide in the world, but this experience undoubtedly took him to the extreme in public, yet his skills remained unaffected.

When he broke through in prison, his accumulation of more than a hundred years erupted in one fell swoop. His newly promoted skills as a spy and a rogue instantly improved to four paths, and all five paths simultaneously reached the peak of the second realm.

But here comes the biggest problem—

【Fishing in Troubled Waters】Although Yue Lai can choose to cultivate four paths simultaneously, the level of cultivation of a scoundrel will inevitably depend on the one with the shallowest cultivation among the four paths. The difficulty for him to advance to the level of the Flower-Haired Scholar will be several times that of others.

"We need to choose a path to break through first... The best choice is the Prodigal Son, after all, he has divine authority, so there's no need to prepare a secret tablet, just fulfill the ritual..."

"Prodigal son, prodigal son..."

Yue Lai's pacing suddenly froze; he finally remembered what he had forgotten—

There are still people waiting for his encrypted tablet!

But if Diefu and Qiqi were there, they would tell him:

What you've forgotten isn't the cipherboard, you've forgotten that little tyrant!

In Windmill City, Winona looked at this brand new world with eyes full of excitement.
