"Bang!" With a muffled thud, the baseball bat accurately struck the skeleton soldier's cervical vertebrae.

Highly effective!

Even undead creatures must obey objective laws after losing their physical connection.

The skeleton's head traced a beautiful parabola in the air, rolling a dozen meters away before its soul fire slowly extinguished.

Su Li didn't pause, using her momentum to spin around and swing the bat backhand!

"Crack!"

Before the second skeleton soldier could even raise its iron sword, its cervical vertebrae were snapped clean.

The fight was over. Su Li realized that although her body had become a girl's, her strength hadn't weakened at all; it was even greater than before.

However, this scene was no less than a horror movie to the two police officers nearby.

What did they see?

A delicate little girl killed these two monsters with a baseball bat in two swings! What kind of super-powered girl was this?!

Su Li scanned her surroundings, confirming there were no other stray skeleton soldiers within sight, and casually slung the baseball bat over her shoulder.

"The weakness of these skeleton monsters is the connection between the spine and the head, in other words, the neck," a clear and sweet voice rang out.

"They're actually very weak, don't be afraid," Su Li continued to explain in her sweet voice.

"If these monsters appear again, just overcome your fear and swing at their necks. Please be sure to tell your colleagues."

Officer Xiao Zhang swallowed hard, her brain completely short-circuited: "Ah... okay..."

Having finished her instructions, Su Li didn't care if they understood or not and turned to grab the wrist of the still-dazed Su Lin Yue.

"Yueyue, let's go!"

"Brother... Ah, no, but Xiao Xue..." Su Lin Yue looked back at her best friend.

"Don't worry about her for now. She's safer with the police than following us. Let's get out of here!"

Su Li pulled her sister and turned without hesitation, rushing towards the emergency exit.

Three minutes later, Su Li, dragging her sister, sprinted out of Jinzhan Shopping Mall.

"We can't keep the car for now," Su Li's mind raced.

She had been speeding earlier and was now at the crime scene. She had definitely attracted the full attention of the police.

If she drove the car back openly now, she wouldn't even have to wait until tomorrow; the police would impound it soon.

Perhaps because she had shouldered the family's burden at such a young age, Su Li had an innate aversion to trouble.

"This way!" Su Li decisively abandoned the SUV and pulled Su Lin Yue to the roadside.

"Beep!" "Beep!" She skillfully unlocked two shared electric bikes.

"Let's go, Yueyue!"

However, Su Li had underestimated the situation.

Just as they were making their escape on the shared bikes, the main police force finally arrived. Heavily armed SWAT officers nervously stormed the second floor.

However, the expected difficult battle did not occur.

The leading director only saw two stationed mall police officers standing in the corridor, panting, with the scattered skeletons of a few skeletons around them.

Naturally, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu were hailed as heroes for protecting the public and eliminating the monsters.

The police director immediately rushed over, excitedly shaking their hands: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu! Well done! Did you two take care of these skeleton monsters?"

The two exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat awkward. While the latter three were indeed their doing, the first ones weren't.

Officer Xiao Zhang was an honest person, and with surveillance cameras everywhere in the mall, lying to claim credit was pointless.

"Director, actually, we have to thank a girl."

Xiao Zhang reported the entire incident truthfully.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

"A little girl? With a baseball bat?" The director's brows twitched as he listened.

Were there such extraordinary people among the populace?

As a high-level official within the system, he actually knew more than ordinary police officers.

It was rumored that the country had recently secretly established a "National Security and Abnormal Phenomena Research Headquarters," externally known as the [Seventh Four Nine Institute], commonly referred to as Bureau 749.

Although he didn't know its specific purpose, superiors had repeatedly emphasized that any scientifically unexplainable abnormal phenomena or extraordinary individuals must be reported immediately.

The director nodded and immediately called over a key technical staff member: "Xiao Song, go check the surveillance footage, identify that girl, and report back to me immediately."

Xiao Song accepted the order and left.

The efficiency of a professional team was terrifying. In less than ten minutes, the results were in.

"Director!" Xiao Song ran over with a tablet. "We found her. She arrived in a black SUV."

"But this car is registered to an adult male named Su Li, and the girl taken away by the mysterious woman, after facial recognition comparison, is this man's younger sister, named Su Lin Yue."

Xiao Song paused, bringing up a screenshot of Su Li from the surveillance footage.

"As for this mysterious woman carrying a baseball bat, we ran facial recognition against the national database and found individuals with high similarity, but no exact match."

"Currently, she's undocumented. We can only ascertain her identity by finding that girl named Su Lin Yue."

The Director looked at the screenshot of the long-haired young girl, pondering for a moment.

"Continue the investigation."

The Director sternly cautioned, "But remember, absolutely do not disturb their normal lives! These extraordinary individuals can have very peculiar temperaments. I will report this situation to my superiors immediately."

Just then, the Director's phone, clipped to his waist, suddenly rang.

He answered it, and a deep, irrefutable voice came from the receiver:

"We are Bureau 749. The abnormal event at Jinzhan Shopping Mall is now under our full jurisdiction."

The Director's expression sharpened. "Yes! We will resolutely obey orders!"

At noon, the siblings, riding a shared bike, finally arrived home.

"Yueyue, are you hurt? Does anything hurt?"

"Brother, I'm fine," Su Lin Yue said, catching her breath.

Looking at her older sister, Su Lin Yue's big eyes were full of admiration. "Brother, you're amazing! You defeated those monsters in a flash. How did you do it..."

Facing her sister's sparkling gaze, Su Li thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"Because those skeleton soldiers were the monsters from the game I play."

Su Li revealed everything about Eternal Realm without reservation.

"Ah?" Su Lin Yue's jaw dropped so wide it could fit an egg.

"Monsters from the game came into reality?!"

"Mm," Su Li's expression became unprecedentedly grave.

"So, it seems I have no choice but to keep playing this game."

If before it was just a casual gaming mindset, now the nature of things had completely changed.

Now, skeleton soldiers from the game had appeared in the real world!

Since today it was skeleton soldiers, would tomorrow bring Flame Dragon Lizards? Would it bring Rotten Tree Spirits? Would it bring the endless army of the undead?

Low-level monsters that could be killed by conventional weapons were one thing, but what about those high-level monsters with magic shields, immune to physical attacks? And what about that so-called Abyss...

The entire world could be plunged into a crisis of destruction at any moment!

"Tomorrow morning is when the game update will be complete and the servers will reopen."

"I need to speed up my progress. Even if I truly turn into a skeleton, I have to keep trying to protect my sister..." Su Li secretly resolved in her heart.

At the same time, downstairs in the Su Family Compound, a white SUV with no markings quietly stopped below the building.

"Has the data comparison been completed?"
