About the World

Suddenly, Ye Qian had a flash of inspiration, and an idea formed in her mind.

"This body's ability is Possession. In other words, it can remotely control a body and use that unfamiliar body to support me. If I can possess someone capable of fighting, I could provide decent combat power too."

Ye Qian felt that its true function might not be limited to combat. If she possessed someone with influence and used their power to help herself, that might be possible as well.

"Let's give it a try."

The new body immediately changed into a set of women's clothing and began looking for a target.

Ye Qian named this body Little Soul.

Wearing a simple summer outfit and jeans, the cute girl with long straight black hair poked her head out and cautiously checked the path outside the door.

"Let's go." She headed toward the street.

At home, Alice and Ye Xin, the two clones, also took the medicine and climbed out through the window.

The only one left at home was the pitiful main body, drowsy and exhausted.

But even though she was so tired, she still forced herself to stay awake, trembling as she picked up her phone and searched for the location of the police station.

That's pretty far away.

"What about the Shadow Bureau?"

Just as expected, there were absolutely no search results.

But she remembered that those two people had mentioned before that a Shadow Bureau branch was nearby.

"Even if there is a Shadow Bureau, it'll probably be difficult to find. Would a special organization like that openly put up a sign telling you where it is?"

Walking down the street, Little Soul was thinking as well.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but after she had gone more than two hundred meters from home, she suddenly noticed a car.

A young man stepped out from inside the car.

The moment she saw him, a strange sensation welled up in Little Soul's heart.

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

According to the system, those with the Soul Projection ability could more easily sense extraordinary people. Perhaps that talent was taking effect now.

"Let's try it."

She fixed her gaze on the target.

A faint, almost imperceptible connection appeared between them.

"He didn't notice. It's probably fine." Little Soul let out a breath of relief, immediately turned around, and ran back home. Then she lay down beside the main body.

Soul Projection, activate!

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

When Little Soul came to her senses, she discovered that she was already standing in front of a standalone building.

After standing there blankly for several seconds, an enormous flood of unfamiliar memories suddenly surged into her mind.

"It worked."

Instantly understanding something, she carefully looked at the hands she now had.

They belonged to a man.

There was no mistake.

His name was Shi Jing. He was an ordinary staff member at a Shadow Bureau branch in Konghai City, Level 5, twenty-four years old, and of average strength. Within the bureau, he could be considered completely unremarkable.

But without a doubt, the Shadow Bureau was the Kingdom of Order's only official organization for handling extraordinary matters. It was also a legitimate organization capable of sending agents into Otherspace for exploration and guarding against invasions from other worlds and evil cults.

After reviewing those memories, Little Soul paused slightly.

"The Kingdom of Order?"

Connecting it with her memories, she immediately understood something.

"Damn, no wonder I've kept hearing about order this and order that ever since I transmigrated here two months ago. I was suspicious back then. I thought it was some game or internet term. I never expected that to really be its name."

"Forget it. That's not the point."

The point was that she had truly succeeded.

She touched her current face. It had been so long.

She took out a pocket mirror and gave herself a quick look.

"Damn, this guy is seriously handsome."

Unfortunately, Little Soul was not him. She was only temporarily controlling him through her ability.

Shi Jing was well-liked, but he was the type who was afraid of women. He did not dare approach them, so naturally, he had never dated anyone.

His standing in the organization was ordinary. Most extraordinary incidents would not be handed to a newcomer who had only joined a few months ago.

But that did not mean there were no opportunities. As long as he earned some merit, promotion was still possible.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Jing (Little Soul) started walking, intending to look around a little before entering the building.

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

"Can we make a move now?"

"We can. And this is...?"

Seeing the other girl following behind her, the man asked in surprise.

"Ye Xin," the girl said flatly.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Junneng. Just call me Little Cheng," the man said as he stood up.

"Ji Xue." The woman smiled faintly.

The few of them introduced themselves.

After briefly explaining their respective abilities, they prepared to act.

Both the man and woman carried pistols, so their combat ability would not be weak.

Ye Xin, meanwhile, lied to them and said her ability was releasing air blades.

Once everything was ready, they approached the target. Ye Xin immediately crouched outside the house's window.

Her Spirit Threads had already silently extended inside.

"Three, two, one..."

The instant she finished signaling, Cheng Junneng and Ji Xue rose at the same time, appearing directly outside the windows on both sides. They raised their pistols and unleashed a barrage at the figure inside.

Bang! Bang bang!

More than a dozen consecutive shots were all fired at the Chief.

Ye Xin's Spirit Threads also passed through the wall and instantly slashed toward his body.

For a moment, several bloody holes appeared across his body.

Yet when the bullets struck his heart, abdomen, and other areas, they were all blocked, producing metallic clangs. His head even leaned back as if he had predicted the attack in advance, dodging ahead of time.

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

Screech—

The threads cut past his ear. Ye Xin raised her brows, but before she could react, a metal rod slammed into the window with a loud crash.

She hurriedly covered her head and ran to the side.

No one knew what attack the Chief had used, but even the Iron bars on the window had bent, and a huge section of the wall had been smashed inward.

A terrifying shriek rang out from inside the house. Covered in wounds, the Chief suddenly rushed before Cheng Junneng and threw a punch.

"Pfft."

Cheng Junneng spat out blood as his body flew backward.

Bang! Bang!

His hands were still firing, shooting out the last of his bullets. Unexpectedly, a metal rod suddenly flew from the Chief's pocket and viciously slammed into his back.

Ye Xin's threads blocked it almost at the same moment, but they were still torn apart by the astonishing force. Cheng Junneng cried out in pain, rolled across the ground, and collapsed outside the door.

"Cough, cough. We misjudged his strength. Run!" Cheng Junneng barely hesitated. After shouting for them to run, he scrambled away in a panic.

"Did we underestimate the Chief's strength?"

Alice had already fled at the first opportunity. Ye Xin used her threads to block an attack from afar before fleeing as well.

She valued her life even more than they did. Even if it was only a clone, she did not want it to be hurt.

Facing these sneaky bastards who had tried to ambush him, the Chief cursed furiously.

"You're courting death!"

He was truly furious, but due to some concern, he did not chase after them.

After running for a while, the group was left gasping for breath.

"Cough, cough." Cheng Junneng spat out blood and leaned against the wall. "We failed."

"Getting away alive is already not bad." Ji Xue sighed dejectedly. "Ordinary people like us really can't deal with powerful people who have backing."

Amid the strange silence, Alice spoke. "Looks like we can only mobilize some official forces to deal with this."

"Official forces?" The man froze.

"Mm."

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

"Captain, I ran into a situation."

"Oh?" The man seated opposite him put down the cigarette butt in his hand and asked with a smile, "What situation?"

"A gunfight, and corpses."

I originally wanted to say something in the comments, but then I realized I couldn't comment without linking a phone number. Both of my phone numbers are already linked to reading accounts, and I don't have any spare numbers, so I'll probably use one of those reader accounts to reply to you later.

Chapter 14: About the World

Shi Jing explained the situation in detail.

"You're saying there are traces of extraordinary power at the scene? This really needs attention. I'll report it to the director. Wait here."

After listening, the captain immediately stood up and left the office.

A few minutes later, he reappeared and threw on the coat beside him. "Prepare to move out."

"Yes." All the combat personnel stood up at once.

"Shi Jing, you're coming too."

Hearing that, Shi Jing could not help but smile.

The Shadow Bureau was a special organization, meaning shadows in the darkness. When dealing with extraordinary incidents, they possessed great authority and could sometimes have other departments cooperate with their operations.

Though Konghai City was a small place with only two bureau branches and fewer than twenty people combined, the resources they could mobilize were actually considerable.

Following the others into an official vehicle, Shi Jing saw a woman.

The moment he sat down, she asked, "Answer me now. Is everything you said true?"

"Hm?"

An indescribable emotion filled his entire body. Shi Jing trembled slightly and answered blankly, "It's all true."

The woman nodded and looked toward the captain in the driver's seat. "Confirmed. There's no problem. This matter should have nothing to do with him personally."
