Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Ye Qian's mind, giving birth to a certain idea.

"This body's ability is Possession—meaning I can remotely control a body and use that unfamiliar form to support myself. If I can possess someone capable in combat, that could provide no small amount of fighting strength."

Ye Qian felt that its true function might not be purely for combat; if she possessed someone with influence, borrowing their power to aid herself wasn't out of the question either.

"Let's give it a try."

The new body here immediately put on a set of women's clothes, ready to scope out a target.

Ye Qian named this body Little Soul.

Dressed in a simple summer outfit and jeans, this cute, long-haired black-haired girl poked her head out, carefully checking the path by the door.

"Let's go." She started heading toward the street.

Back at home, the two clones, Alice and Ye Xin, also grabbed the potions and climbed out through the window.

Left behind in the house was only the poor, groggy original body.

But even as exhausted as she was, she forced herself to stay alert, trembling as she picked up her phone and searched for the police station's location.

A bit far.

"What about the Shadow Bureau?"

As expected, nothing came up in the search.

But she remembered that those two had mentioned earlier that a branch of the Shadow Bureau was nearby.

"Even if the Shadow Bureau exists, finding it would probably be tough. Would a special agency like that just slap up a sign and announce itself?"

Walking along the street, Little Soul was also thinking.

Whether by coincidence or not, after leaving the house for about two hundred meters, she suddenly noticed a car.

From inside the car, a young man stepped out.

Seeing him, a strange feeling surged up from Little Soul's heart.

"This doesn't seem like an ordinary person."

According to the system, those with the Soul Projection ability were more likely to sense supernatural beings, and this might be that talent kicking in.

"Let's give it a try."

She locked onto the target.

A faint connection formed between them.

"No detection, probably safe." Little Soul breathed a sigh of relief, immediately turned around, and ran back home, then lay down beside the original body.

Soul Projection, activate!

Almost the instant the power was used, her consciousness faded away.

By the time Little Soul came to, she found herself standing in front of an independent building.

She stood there blankly for a few seconds, when a vast and unfamiliar memory suddenly surged into her mind.

"It worked."

Understanding what had happened in an instant, she took a serious look at her current hands.

It was a man.

That was right.

His name was Shi Jing, an ordinary clerk at a branch of the Shadow Bureau in Konghai City, Level 5, age 24, average strength—within the bureau, he was very ordinary.

But without a doubt, the Shadow Bureau was the only official supernatural handling agency of the Kingdom of Order, a legitimate organization capable of dispatching agents to explore other dimensions and guard against invasions from other worlds and evil cults.

After reviewing these memories, Little Soul paused for a moment.

"The Kingdom of Order?"

Connecting the memories, she suddenly understood something.

"Damn, no wonder I kept hearing 'Order this, Order that' in the two months since I transmigrated here. I was suspicious back then, thought it was a game or some internet slang, never expected it to be the actual name."

"Whatever, that's not the point."

The point was, she had really succeeded.

She touched her current face. It had been a while.

She pulled out a small mirror and took a quick glance.

"Damn, this guy is really handsome."

Too bad Little Soul wasn't him—she was just temporarily controlling him with her ability.

Shi Jing had good relationships with people, but his personality was the type that feared women, afraid to approach them, so naturally he had never been in a relationship.

Within the organization, his status was average; most supernatural incidents wouldn't involve a newcomer who had only joined a few months ago.

But that didn't mean there was no chance—if he made a contribution, promotion was still possible.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Jing (Little Soul) stepped forward, planning to take a quick look around before heading through the main gate.

Around the same time, Alice also arrived beside the man and woman.

"Can we make a move now?"

"Yes, and this is..." The man asked in surprise as he noticed another young woman following behind.

"Ye Xin." The young woman said flatly.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Junneng, just call me Xiao Cheng." The man stood up proactively.

"Ji Xue." The woman gave a slight smile.

The group got acquainted.

After briefly explaining their abilities, they prepared to strike.

Both the man and woman carried pistols, so their combat power wouldn't be weak.

As for Ye Xin, she lied, claiming her ability was to release air blades.

Everything ready, they approached the target, and Ye Xin immediately crouched outside the window of the building.

Her Spirit Thread had already extended silently inside.

"3, 2, 1..."

The moment the hand signal was made, Cheng Junneng and Ji Xue rose simultaneously, appearing directly at the windows on either side. They raised their pistols and unleashed a barrage at the figure inside.

Bang! Bang, bang!

Over a dozen shots were all fired at the Chief.

Ye Xin's Spirit Thread also released through the wall, instantly slicing toward the opponent's body.

In an instant, multiple bloody holes appeared on him.

However, when the bullets struck his heart, abdomen, and other areas, they were all blocked, producing a clanging sound. As for his head, it was as if he had predicted it—he leaned back in advance to dodge.

In the end, not a single shot hit a vital point.

Szzz—

The thread sliced past the opponent's ear. Ye Xin raised an eyebrow, but before she could react, a metal rod slammed against the window with a clang.

She quickly shielded her head and scrambled to the side.

Whatever attack the Chief had unleashed, the iron bars on the window were bent, and the wall itself was dented by a large chunk.

A terrifying screech erupted from inside the building. The Chief, covered in wounds, charged straight at Cheng Junneng and swung a fist.

"Pfft."

Cheng Junneng spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew backward.

Bang, bang!

Even then, his hands kept firing, unleashing the last of his bullets. Unexpectedly, a metal rod flew out from the Chief's pocket and slammed violently into his back.

Ye Xin's thread intercepted almost instantly, but it was still snapped by the astonishing force. Cheng Junneng cried out in pain, tumbling and collapsing outside the door.

"Cough, cough—miscalculated his strength. Run!" Without a second thought, Cheng Junneng shouted and scrambled away.

"Did we underestimate the Chief's power?"

Alice had already fled at the first opportunity. As for Ye Xin, she released her thread to block the target's attack from a distance, then ran as well.

She valued her life far more than they did—even a clone, she didn't want to see harmed.

Facing these cowardly ambushers, the Chief roared in fury:

"Courting death!"

He was genuinely enraged, but for some reason, he held back and did not give chase.

After running some distance, the group stopped, panting heavily.

"Cough, cough." Cheng Junneng spat blood, leaning against the wall. "Failed."

"At least we got out alive." Ji Xue sighed in disappointment. "People like us, ordinary folks, really can't handle these backed-up strongmen."

In the awkward silence, Alice spoke up: "Looks like we'll have to mobilize some official forces to deal with this."

"Official forces?" The man was taken aback.

"Yeah."

At that very moment, Shi Jing had arrived at an office and sat down across from a middle-aged man.

"Captain, I've run into a situation."

"Oh?" The man sitting across from him put down his cigarette butt and asked with a smile, "What's the situation?"

"A shootout, and a corpse."

I originally wanted to say something in the comments section, but it turns out I can't post comments without binding a phone number. Both of my phone numbers are already bound to accounts for reading, and I don't have a spare phone, so I'll probably use one of those reader accounts to reply to you all later.

Chapter 14: On the World

Shi Jing laid out the specifics.

"You're saying there are traces of extraordinary power at the scene? That kind of thing does warrant attention. I'll report it to the director. Wait here."

After hearing him out, the captain stood up and walked straight out of the office.

A few minutes later, his figure reappeared, and he threw on the coat beside him in one motion: "Prepare to move out."

"Yes, sir." All the operatives rose at once.

"Shi Jing, you're coming too."

Hearing this, Shi Jing couldn't help but smile.

The Shadow Bureau was a special agency, meaning shadows in the dark. When handling cases involving supernatural incidents, they held considerable authority, sometimes able to coordinate with other departments.

Despite being a small place like Konghai City with only two branches and fewer than twenty people total, the resources they could actually mobilize were not insignificant.

Following the group onto an official vehicle, Shi Jing saw a woman.

The moment he sat down, she spoke: "Answer me now—is everything you've said true?"

"Huh?"

An indescribable emotion flooded his body. Shi Jing trembled slightly and replied blankly, "It's all true."

The woman nodded and looked at the captain in the driver's seat: "Confirmed, no issues. This matter has nothing to do with him personally."
