Wouldn't That Be...?

The Lucky Milk worked as well as ever; as a Room Door opened, the environment in front of Feng Xue was instantly transformed.

The once luxurious Suzhou Style Villa vanished instantly, replaced by a house that looked like it hadn't been used for a long time, covered in dust, with rusted metal decorations and a foul, decaying smell.

Pushing open the Room Door, Feng Xue looked at the bustling street outside with some surprise. She couldn't help but glance back at the house behind her. Sure enough, it was in a state of disrepair, so out of place with the obvious modern atmosphere outside.

"So, this house is most likely a Ghost House? Hmm, that makes sense, otherwise there's no reason for such an abandoned property to appear in this location. But how can such a Ghost House be surrounded by such a bustling street scene... I really don't know..."

Feng Xue muttered to herself, when suddenly a piercing siren rang in her ears. Several police cars rushed in from different directions at the fork in the road, almost flanking her. With Feng Xue's eyesight, she could clearly see the group of armed police officers inside the police cars.

"Tsk..." Feng Xue clicked his Hanako, but had no intention of running away, because with just a glance, he had already confirmed that there were no Phantom Object or anything like that in these cars.

As long as there are no Phantom Object, if he wants to leave, it's just a matter of pulling out the small blanket and saying "Ah, yes, yes, yes".

Instead of leaving immediately and searching on your own, it's better to try and get information from the official sources.

Well, this is probably what the Heavenly Emperor's leisurely pace is like.

Just as Feng Xue was pondering, several police cars surrounded Feng Xue, and a group of police officers equipped with various mysterious and impressive gear quickly emerged. They were carrying all sorts of strange weapons and were on high alert. Meanwhile, a man carrying a metal box quickly activated a device that had already been tested in the car.

With a flash of red light, the man immediately said:

"That's right, Captain, it's him. Strength level: Epsilon, type: Possession, no radiation reaction..."

"Whoosh!"

Before the man could finish speaking, all the police officers raised their weapons. The leader, frowning, held up an Electric Lantern emitting a pale purple light and said:

"Who are you? Why are you here? Are you a 'player'?"

"Players? Are you playing a live-action FPS game? So I've accidentally wandered into your game area?" Feng Xue looked slightly bewildered, but inwardly he sighed, realizing that the world might be more complex than he had imagined.

Upon hearing this, the leading man's expression remained unchanged; he simply maintained the gesture of carrying the lantern and gave a look to the two police officers beside him.

Seeing this, one of them took out his identification, and the other took out handcuffs. They slowly approached, explaining as they did so:

"We are from the Sanglin City Public Security Special Operations Team. Something unusual has happened to you, and we need you to come back with us for investigation. If necessary, you can call your lawyer or family now, but please cooperate with our operation."

"I see..." Although she didn't know what the Public Security Special Operations Team was, the words "Public" and "Security" were enough to convey its meaning. Feng Xue maintained her blank expression, calmly raising her hands as if to be handcuffed, and said:

"I'm not entirely sure what happened, but my memory is very jumbled. You might not believe it, but I don't even know who I am..."

Upon hearing Feng Xue's words, many officers showed wary expressions. The captain instinctively raised his lantern slightly higher until the handcuffs were completely on Feng Xue's wrists. Only then did their emotions calm down somewhat. The person who had been operating the equipment also moved slightly closer, and after a brief adjustment, whispered:

"There are two mental fluctuations, which can definitely be attributed to possession. The current mental fluctuations match the body's frequency, so the person should still be in control."

"Alright." The captain nodded and said to Feng Xue, who was unusually cooperative:

"Come with us to the station first. I'll explain the current situation to you."

After saying that, he walked beside Feng Xue, keeping Feng Xue within the light of the Electric Lantern, and led her into a police car.

Throughout the entire process, Feng Xue showed no resistance whatsoever, even following the police car like a puppet. Only after the police car started moving did the captain suddenly ask:

"Do you remember anything you've done? Like, what ceremonies you've performed, what special patterns you've drawn, or what banned TV shows or movies you've watched?"

"What the heck?" Feng Xue was quite surprised. The previous rituals and patterns were easy to understand, but what the heck were these banned TV dramas and movies?

Sadako?

That must be a specific Video Tape or disc, right?

Etc!

Feng Xue suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

The supernatural system in this world... could it be memes?

In addition to the previous "players"...

Good heavens!

This kind of thing is not allowed!

Seeing Feng Xue fall silent, the captain assumed he was sorting through his chaotic memories, so he slowly said:

"Don't rush, take your time to recall. Anything is fine, even replying to a post online."

"Damn, this sounds more like a meme, doesn't it?" Feng Xue gritted her teeth inwardly, secretly flicking out a seed of Gu Poison Body. After confirming that neither the obviously suspicious lamp nor any other device reacted, she allowed the Gu Poison Body to attach to the captain, maintaining a slightly bewildered expression as she said:

"I only remember having been in a fight before..."

As he spoke, he seemed to want to rub his temples, but was stopped by the handcuffs and could only shake his head.

Upon hearing this, the captain's eyes darted back and forth between the mirror on the roof and the lantern in his hand, before finally speaking solemnly:

"Your situation is rather complicated, and we need to consult our superiors. But rest assured, we will have a solution within a day at most. We will tell you everything you can know then. Of course, you will also need to cooperate with us in some ways. If you need anything, you can also tell me."

At this point, the captain's body visibly tensed up, as if he would immediately perform American Iaijutsu at the slightest provocation.

Feng Xue ignored all these details, and only after a brief pause did she ask in a somewhat awkward tone:

"Um... does it include meals?"

"..." The captain seemed completely taken aback by the question, visibly stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his alertness, though he still managed to reply:

"Certainly."

There's no need to overcomplicate things about how the items got lost, because Weird Tale are inherently illogical.

Putting aside other issues, let's take the existing Weird Tale as an example. That item can be resurrected. After resurrection, as long as a relevant organization cooperates, provides him with some basic information, and then makes a prophecy—predicting that the protagonist's [beep--] fluid sample will appear in a certain place—then naturally countless coincidences will converge to bring that sample to that location. For example, someone might just happen to cut the research institute's power line, the administrator might just happen to have an upset stomach that day, the security code might just happen to have a bug, and so on...

Moreover, the protagonist and Chen Xiyao were conducting business at a guesthouse. Guesthouses are places with many people and many eyes, so this kind of not-so-secret secret is easily leaked. After it is leaked, people will naturally try to find the remaining samples from that time. If they can't find them, they will realize that someone is collecting them. All countries have reserves of Phantom Object, and who knows what kind of heaven-defying things they might have found.

Not to mention the supernatural Weird Tale of master thieves and phantom thieves. As humans come into contact with these Weird Tale, the originally airtight systems will inevitably reveal their flaws. And since we've only been in contact with them for a year or two, it's simply unrealistic to expect us to completely patch up these loopholes.

It's like the old days of firing squads suddenly encountering Gatling guns; the whole world has to update its tactics.
