The bullet comments flooded the screen as the young streamer took several deep breaths, saying excitedly, "It's real, absolutely real, not special effects. I saw it clearly, that girl was so beautiful."
"Fatty, you're not falling for that girl, are you?"
"Quick, go up and say something!"
"This is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
"Most beautiful? Upstairs, you really haven't seen the world. Actually... okay, actually, I haven't either."
"When can I have a girlfriend like that?"
Ye Xin turned into the back of a factory, leaving the sight of the crowd on the street, and quickly disappeared from view.
She had a slight headache, as fighting in the street would undoubtedly expose her situation.
It was obvious someone had been filming videos earlier. Although it seemed like almost all content related to psychics on the internet was being censored and deleted, she wasn't sure how many people would have seen her this time.
The most troublesome thing, undoubtedly, was attracting the attention of the officials because of this.
"Good thing this is just a clone."
For a while, she should avoid letting Ye Xin and her main body interact unless necessary.
On the other hand, what put her a bit more at ease was that there weren't many surveillance cameras in this era, so escaping wouldn't be difficult.
The only thing she really needed to worry about was the detection of supernatural abilities.
She had run quite a distance. At this time, Ye Qian, who was on campus, also found an opportunity to leave. Her mental threads sensed that two more dogs were trapped in the basement, banging on the door.
She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but after she had moved a certain distance away, the creatures returned to normal.
"It shouldn't be related to my Purification ability, right?"
From the students' conversations, it was clear that the fierce dogs had lost control multiple times before, but today was particularly severe, and they had escaped.
She wondered if the officials would intervene in handling this incident, especially since lives were lost.
To avoid the investigation involving her as a passerby, she left the school immediately. En route, she also noticed that the livestream room of the young streamer from before had been suddenly shut down, and related comments could no longer be sent.
"They dealt with it that quickly?"
After a difficult and long run back home, Ye Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Shi Jing, who was in the Shadow Bureau, suddenly received a notification from his superior to rush to a scene to handle a special situation.
After following Captain and the others to the destination, he saw several students being controlled by the police, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Leave this to us," the Captain said to the police officer in front of him. "This is our department's business."
The officer seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation and nodded, then shouted to his subordinates behind him, "Pack up."
"Pack up? We don't need to handle this here?" one of the officers asked incredulously.
"That's right. Don't ask any more questions."
As the officers left, the Captain took out a few small pieces of paper from his person and slapped them onto the foreheads of the restrained fierce dogs.
A few seconds later, all the dogs collapsed on the ground.
For the next half hour, the squad began questioning passersby and learned about a young girl who had intervened.
"So, a young-looking girl easily dealt with two mutated dogs?"
"Yes, she was very powerful, easily resolving the monsters."
"Can you describe her appearance in detail?"
"She had black hair, her clothes were all black, she had a good figure, slender legs, wore a black skirt, and black stockings on her legs. I couldn't see her face clearly because she was a bit far away, but I felt she was exceptionally beautiful."
"Alright, got it. Thank you for the information."
Chapter 25: Another Call
After seeing off the helpful passerby, they then took control of the young streamer and retrieved the video recordings. The Captain looked at his team members.
"What do you guys think?"
"There are no records of this person in Konghai City. Could she be a member of some secret organization? We don't know if her sudden appearance here is related to the monster rampage at St. Via Middle School. In any case, this matter is quite strange. We can't find any clues about that girl in all our files. Her sudden appearance here, resolving such a fierce beast on the street, seems unrelated on the surface, but upon closer thought, it's probably not that simple." A team member frowned, looking worried.
Shi Jing knew his name – Wu Xiuming, a young man who had only been a formal member for half a year.
He heard that Wu Xiuming had a daughter with an incurable disease. Not only did he not have enough money for her treatment, but even if he did, it was basically impossible to cure her.
He had been hoping for a promotion, wanting to get some help from the Shadow Bureau, but the director's answer was... slim hope.
Looking at him, Shi Jing at this moment... or rather, Xiao Hun, had an idea.
It was to try using the Purified Water.
A low dose wouldn't cure an incurable disease, but it could verify if there was a corresponding effect.
He wondered if Wu Xiuming would be willing to disobey the Shadow Bureau a little for his daughter's sake.
"I feel like I can give it a try."
Shifting their gaze back, the Captain had mostly finished speaking.
"Regardless, the existence of a secret organization is extremely dangerous. Konghai City is in turmoil, and now with the Insect Blood Society and this unknown woman, we must investigate to confirm that these organizations pose no threat to the current society."
"Yes!"
At this time, Ye Qian, who had already returned to her hotel room, finally relaxed a little.
She knew the Shadow Bureau had started investigating the matter, but the students involved were basically just given a warning.
Apparently, those students' families had some background, and since they hadn't committed any major offenses, they were just taking the fall for a senior who had already graduated. So, they were let off with a warning.
"Seriously, it's all about connections."
It was certain that this mysterious academic research club would continue its studies.
And who knew how many more secrets they were hiding? The Shadow Bureau wasn't even investigating seriously.
Around this time, Ye Xin also returned to her room at home.
She opened her computer and searched the web, confirming that there were no discussions about the incident on Konghai City-related forums for the time being, and she finally relaxed completely.
Her gaze shifted, falling on Xiao Hun lying on the bed.
The cute little girl lay there quietly, and up close, one could feel her slight breathing.
"Should I give her a bath?"
She extended her hands, trying to pick up Xiao Hun.
Without a soul, she was just like a life-sized doll.
"So cute, is it okay to kiss her? Cough, cough, just one kiss."
She couldn't help but plant a kiss on Xiao Hun's cheek.
"Hehehe."
Her hands touched a soft spot, and she wished she could just sleep holding Xiao Hun.
"This is too soft, but it's so heavy."
After all, her soul had been projected out, so she could only painstakingly help her complete the bathing ritual.
Ye Xin went to turn on the water heater, then began to help her new body, which she had replicated
"Hm?"
She realized what was happening.
"Did the alternate dimension call for reinforcements again?"
With her mind prepared, she thought for a moment and decided to send Ye Xin.
However, when the information came down, Ye Qian's actions paused.
It was going to the main world.
"Looks like the main body has to make a trip."
The main body's current strength, compared to the past, had its biggest improvements, besides the physical fitness brought by the level, was the [Blade Intuition (White)] provided by Alice.
Strictly speaking, her skill with the blade surpassed Alice's.
After all, she already had several times the combat power of an ordinary adult.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath...
Not long after, accompanied by a wave of dizziness, she found herself in a familiar location.
Lifting her head, she immediately saw two Arrow Towers in front of her.
One of them... had collapsed.
The other was partially damaged, but the top was still intact, meaning it could still fire. Chapter 26: New Developments
"Long time no see, you two."
A female voice came from beside her. Ye Qian looked over and saw two familiar figures had already appeared there.
