See this.

Shen Qingqing's eyes lit up immediately.

She happily accepted the black card from Chen Qi's hand, but soon her brows furrowed.

I saw.

The black card was a deep black on both sides, and there was nothing else special about it. After looking at it for a long time, Shen Qingqing still couldn't figure it out, and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"You can try adjusting the angle against the light," Chen Qi couldn't help but suggest.

"Ok?"

Shen Qingqing was somewhat surprised, but she still listened to Chen Qi's advice, held the black card up to the light, and slightly adjusted the angle. Sure enough, a change occurred.

"This...this is amazing..."

"There's a ghost on this card?!"

Under the changing light and shadow.

On the originally black card surface, a strange ghostly shadow appeared, moving from far away to near and then from near to far, as if extending an invitation or some kind of guidance to the world of ghosts.

On the back of the card is a claw mark, like a mark left by some kind of elf scratching across the card.

"What the hell is this?"

Shen Qingqing returned the black card to Chen Qi, but her face was full of doubt.

"This is an invitation from the Ghost Thieves!"

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from the alley.

Chen Qi and his companion looked in the direction of the sound and saw a female police officer in uniform, with a tall and straight figure, walking slowly towards them.

"Officer Nangong?"

"Yiyi?"

Chen Qi and Shen Qingqing spoke at the same time, using different names, but referring to the same person.

Isn't that the police officer, Nangong Yiyi, whom I just met in the early hours of the morning?

"Huh? Do you know each other?"

Chen Qi and Shen Qingqing turned around in unison, looked at each other, and said in unison.

"Yiyi and I are considered to be friends from the same period."

"We entered the trial at the same time and became trainers after passing the assessment," Shen Qingqing explained, then gave him an inquiring look.

"We just met in the early hours of the morning."

"I called the police after my home was burgled, and Officer Nangong arrived just in time," Chen Qi said.

Shen Qingqing nodded.

I silently mourned for the thief. Of all the people to steal from, he had to steal from Chen Qi's house. His fate will surely be terrible, but he deserves it.

"Yiyi, what brings you here?"

"Didn't you say you just got off work at midnight and were going to stay home and lie down all day today?"

Shen Qingqing then turned her gaze back to Nangong Yiyi and asked curiously.

"Hey--"

Nangong Yiyi sighed deeply.

That was indeed her original plan, but unfortunately, the Seventh District was going to hold an Elf Carnival, and the police station was short-staffed. She received the assignment early in the morning and was forced to get up.

now.

She exuded the aura of cattle and horses.

However, upon realizing that Chen Qi was also there, Nangong Yiyi quickly composed herself, resisted the urge to complain to her best friend, and took that breath back.

"You just said this is an invitation from the Ghost Thieves?"

"What it is?"

Chen Qi didn't pay too much attention to Nangong Yiyi's mental state.

He didn't get back until after 4 a.m., and then got up again at 8 a.m. to go on a mission. Anyone would be tired, but he was more concerned about what the other person had just said.

She seemed to know what the mysterious black card was.

"That's right!"

"I overheard what you were saying when I arrived."

"The entire card is pitch black. Under the light and shadow, there is a moving ghostly shadow on the front, while on the back, there are four claw marks from top to bottom."

"That's exactly what makes the Ghost Thieves' invitation so special."

"So what's the purpose of this invitation?" Shen Qingqing couldn't help but ask curiously, which was also what Chen Qi wanted to know.

"Actually... I'd never heard of this before."

"It was because of yesterday's burglary case that I went back to the station and looked up some related files, which is how I discovered some records about the invitation letter from this ghost thief gang."

"It was probably ten years ago."

"A senior colleague in the bureau recovered an invitation to the Ghost Thieves gang from a thief."

That's how the record of the invitation came about.

"Relevant personnel have studied it and suspect that it may be the key to unlocking certain special trials."

"A special trial that only those who possess an invitation from the Ghost Thieves can enter."

"There is no further information recorded in the archives."

"Because of that invitation, for some unknown reason, it disappeared shortly after it was seized."

"The relevant personnel also searched for a period of time, but to no avail."

"After that, it was left unresolved."

……

"Ten years ago..."

After hearing Nangong Yiyi's words, Shen Qingqing was somewhat surprised.

Surprisingly, such a black card appeared ten years ago.

"Could this be the one that was lost ten years ago?" Shen Qingqing boldly guessed.

However, Nangong Yiyi shook her head at this.

"Invitation letters have a time limit."

"Once the time has passed, it will lose its original effectiveness."

"This was one of the reasons why it was left unresolved at the time, because even if it were found, an invitation that had lost its validity would be nothing more than a piece of waste paper."

"Therefore, there is no need to invest a lot of manpower and resources."

Hear the words.

Shen Qingqing nodded, revealing an expression of understanding.

Chen Qi's expression suddenly changed.

Holding the black card in his hand, a message suddenly appeared before his eyes.

A message that only he could see.

Chapter 35 Water Stone... I have one too!

Chen Qi looked at the black card in his hand.

He immediately revealed a knowing expression.

It turned out to be the case.

That's starting to get interesting.

At this moment, Chen Qi finally confirmed that the black card was indeed the invitation from the Ghost Thieves Gang that Nangong Yiyi had mentioned, but it might be somewhat different from what she thought.

However, Chen Qi does not currently intend to accept the invitation immediately.

Anyway, there's still time.

There is still one month left before the black card expires, as mentioned by Nangong Yiyi.

As long as you follow the instructions of the black card within this month, you can activate this invitation, or rather, this special trial, at a specific location.

Chen Qi casually put the black card away in front of Nangong Yiyi.

This was his spoils of war, so there was no way he would hand it over.

In this regard.

Nangong Yiyi gave a hesitant look.

Originally, she wanted to persuade him that the black card might pose some uncertain dangers, and carrying it might lead him into unknown dangers.

However, when you think of Chen Qi's strength...

However, after just one trial, he obtained the license of an advanced trainer and also possessed three powerful Pokémon. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

The danger level of this card would be higher for anyone else than for Chen Qi.

Seeing Nangong Yiyi's complicated expression, Shen Qingqing didn't think too much about it.

They directly chose to stand on Chen Qi's side and spoke up for him.

“Nangong Yiyi, this black card is Mr. Chen Qi’s legally acquired spoils of war. You cannot abuse your power and forcibly take it away.”

"Otherwise, I'll be the first to disagree."

Nangong Yiyi: "???"

She looked at Shen Qingqing with a strange expression. She had come to help out of kindness after hearing the commotion, but she was being treated like dirt.

So she left?

"So this is how you see me."

"Shen Qingqing, you fickle woman."

Nangong Yiyi made a comment.

He then looked at Chen Qi with a serious expression and said, "According to regulations, elven detectives have the right to temporarily keep supplies seized from elves. If the spoils are unclaimed, they can belong to the elves."

"Wait... what are you saying?"

"An elven detective?"

"Where did this elven detective come from?"

Shen Qingqing looked bewildered, her gaze sweeping over Nangong Yiyi's face before finally settling on Chen Qi after looking around. "It's you?"

Seeing that Chen Qi did not deny it, Shen Qingqing immediately felt relieved.

"I knew it. No one could have such strong combat strength right after completing the trial."

"So you're from the Elf Police Department."

"cough~"

Seeing Shen Qingqing's reaction, Nangong Yiyi couldn't help but smile mischievously, and took the initiative to explain for Chen Qi, "That's right!"

"Mr. Chen Qi is indeed our specially hired elfin detective."

"However, Mr. Chen Qi did indeed just pass the trial and obtain his trainer license in the early hours of this morning."

Shen Qingqing: "???"

what?

It turns out the clown was myself.

Shen Qingqing strongly suspected that Nangong Yiyi was deliberately trying to make her look foolish. She really wasn't willing to suffer any loss, and she got her revenge so quickly.
