Loli Feet, Mysterious? Boy's Eyes... / You've Got Some Serious Issues, Don't You?

"Dad! What kind of cow or horse is this?!"

There are still surveillance cameras installed inside the prison cells. If this scene were exposed, wouldn't it cause public panic?

Even Bai Tangyin thought few people would believe it, but this... this was a legendary demon that only existed in fairy tales!

Having watched too many 'Magical Boys' anime as a child, she had also harbored similar fantasies—to wield such magical powers and roam freely in the blue skies and across continents. And now, she's actually experiencing something like this herself?

Excitement, thrill, joy, tears...

A jumble of complex emotions flooded her mind. Forcing herself to calm down, she immediately stopped hesitating, convinced that this was a chance given to her by heaven to turn things around.

He reached out and took the bottles off the wooden shelf, opened the caps, and gulped down both bottles of medicine.

If all goes as expected, an invisible superhero will appear in Happy Town tonight.

If Bai Tangyin wanted to, she could easily use her temporary ability to gather evidence in her favor, and even bring down those who slandered her...

Now that the matter is resolved, these are not things Ling Mengxue should worry about. If anything unexpected happens, this young lady will probably be arrested again early tomorrow morning.

After packing her things, Ling Mengxue immediately sent a text message to Ye Yiren.

She'd done everything she could, but she still needed to find time to investigate that Director Zhang. She wasn't entirely comfortable leaving it to Xia Keke, that young girl, and felt inexplicably exhausted.

Just then, she received a text message from Xia Keke. According to the girl's description, the woman in black she was investigating had left the tavern. Not sure whether to continue tracking the target, she sent a message to ask for her instructions.

After a moment's thought, Ling Mengxue told her to retreat first.

Xia Keke didn't specify what the investigation revealed tonight in the message. It's unclear whether something went wrong or if Director Zhang was innocent.

But a bureau chief at the prefectural or provincial level, dressed so heavily that only his eyes are showing, going to a pub for drinks late at night—it just doesn't seem right, does it?

It can't be that you dressed like that just to avoid being embarrassed by acquaintances, right?

Ling Mengxue walked with her hands in her pockets under the interwoven lights of the night, her mind filled with melancholy.

Moonlight spilled onto the quiet, deserted streets, the streetlights flickering on and off. The flashing lights were like spotlights shining on glamorous actors on a stage, but without much splendor.

After meeting Xia Keke at the intersection, Ling Mengxue forced a smile and said, "Let's go back to the hotel and get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Xia Keke nodded, revealing a warm and innocent smile.

She silently followed behind Ling Mengxue, watching intently, her eyes seemingly filled with the light of autumn water, lively and expressive, as if they could speak.

"Brother Duskfall, you must be tired after a long day, right? I packed some food, shall we have a late-night snack together when we get back?"

"Keep it for yourself, I'm worried I won't be able to stop myself," Ling Mengxue said casually, glancing at her.

However, when it came to food, Que Shi felt a little hungry again and subconsciously touched her stomach.

She was already too busy to eat after work tonight, but Xia Keke dragged her to a barbecue restaurant. Before they even started, she had to rush off to help the delivery girl, so she didn't have time to have a proper meal.

Xia Keke looked at her serene, ethereal gaze and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. "Brother Duskfall, don't worry, what she found out tonight will definitely be useful. That woman seemed to be negotiating some kind of deal with the tavern owner. After chatting for a while, she took the things and left without even drinking."

Hearing what she said, Ling Mengxue was somewhat surprised. "Do you know what it is?"

"It's hard to tell exactly what it is; it was packed in a black box. In short, their behavior seems very mysterious, a bit like a black market deal in a crime movie."

Xia Keke explained slowly, but then she chuckled and hummed, "But I'm Astral Mark Girl, I used a little X-ray vision to find out. It looks like there's a book inside, not particularly thick, probably some secret information that I can't share with anyone..."

"Information that shouldn't be shown to anyone?" Ling Mengxue's brow twitched, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes.

According to Xia Keke's statement, the item was given to Director Zhang by the tavern owner. Could there be some secret between the two?

Is it related to that Murder Demon?

Is the elusive beauty of a mirage, the reality and the illusion, merely a matter of a single thought?

[img=700,1058] Chapter 156: Lolita's Feet Are Teasing? A Young Man's Eyes...

While walking, Ling Mengxue also sent a message to Ye Yiren.

This girl works at the police station, which is a local police station. Let's see if we can find out more information.

The quest clues provided by the system to players can only be obtained through Ye Yiren, which is quite troublesome.

Back at the hotel, while Xia Keke went to her room first, Ling Mengxue ran downstairs again and asked the staff at the front desk.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

I don't know if it was because it was too late, or it was time for the replacement, but the receptionist had been replaced by a handsome young man. He had a pretty hair clip in his shoulder-length hair, wore light makeup, a long skirt and stockings, and was quite pretty.

Ling Mengxue was secretly surprised; it was definitely not because she had a problem with her sexual orientation, but simply because she felt a little sentimental.

It turns out that it's not that men wearing women's clothing look bad, but rather that this is completely tied to appearance. If you're good-looking, anything you wear will look harmonious. But if you're a big, burly man, something just won't look right.

Well, to put it bluntly, it still comes down to body shape and looks...

Putting aside these strange thoughts, she immediately explained her purpose.

Generally, if you need to check the security footage, you can just contact the hotel receptionist; make up any excuse, and it will save you a lot of trouble.

Unsurprisingly, the receptionist immediately agreed when she heard that Ling Mengxue had lost something.

After inquiring, Ling Mengxue learned that the guesthouse usually keeps the surveillance footage for more than two months, just in case.

The hotel's surveillance system is primarily designed to ensure the personal safety and property security of its guests. This is because the hotel has a diverse and high-volume population. Furthermore, it can provide valuable clues for investigators should any future inquiries require it.

However, they were shocked when they checked the previous surveillance footage. Not only Ling Mengxue, but even the handsome receptionist was dumbfounded!

On the computer screen, the monitoring interface was completely blank. Except for the data recorded before noon today, all previous monitoring data had been deleted!

Generally speaking, if you use a standard mechanical hard drive, the data won't disappear immediately after deletion. However, in this case, the hard drive itself is damaged, and all the data is lost, making it virtually impossible to recover.

Moreover, Ling Mengxue wasn't sure if anyone had tampered with it.

Even if we call in professionals, the chances of recovery are probably less than 10%...

Are we just going to let it go like this?

The handsome receptionist checked everything again, his delicate brows furrowing slightly. He touched his hair, equally bewildered. "Sir, did you lose something valuable? Should I get someone to come and fix it? This has never happened before. I'm not in charge of daytime shifts; I just arrived tonight and really don't know what happened."

Seeing that he was also clueless, Ling Mengxue nodded and went back to her room, not really holding out much hope.

What happened just last night, and today all the evidence has been destroyed. Who could do that?

Even the police can't just order a shop to delete something, can they?

Moreover, this is a place once visited by a "Murder Demon," so it should be carefully preserved and investigated.

Thinking back to what Ye Yiren had said before, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but start to have doubts.

Is there something fishy going on inside the police station?

It seems that only Ye Yiren, an insider, is truly capable of investigating these matters.

Lying on her side in bed, Ling Mengxue pondered for a moment before tentatively sending over some of her guesses.

It's better to verify some things.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Ling Mengxue heard a commotion coming from downstairs and outside.

She wasn't sure if the noise was coming from the street or the square, but it was definitely disturbing her rest and making her feel very uncomfortable.

The rosy light shone through the window curtains, and Ling Mengxue squinted as she gradually stepped into reality. Last night's dream was then shattered in the sunlight.

Sigh, the day seems to stretch out over time.

Thump thump thump--

There was another rhythmic knocking at the door, accompanied by Xia Keke's soft, sweet voice. "Brother Duskfall, are you awake? It seems something terrible has happened. There are a lot of policewomen on the street. I just heard that the 'Murder Demon' has escaped."

Murder Demon?

They ran away, so what? It's all fake anyway.

Ling Mengxue groggily sat up in bed, lazily yawned, and then casually said, "The one who escaped was just a victim, didn't you know that?"

As she spoke, she had already put on her slippers and gone to open the door.

Thud--

Just as she turned the doorknob, a beautiful figure suddenly pounced on her. Ling Mengxue was prepared, and with quick reflexes, she dodged to the side, then casually lifted the person up in her hand. "Want a good morning hug?"

Xia Keke was being held in mid-air like a cat, looking a little lost. She awkwardly scratched her cheek and said with a laugh, "Yeah, I really like you, brother, even if I can't control myself."

"... I'm already a married man, a nobody you can't have." "A glass of milk, a piece of bread, carrying good fortune and a smile, wishing you a good mood."

Ling Mengxue shook her head, casually recited a good morning greeting she had seen online, and then put the person down.

Her arms were so sore that she almost couldn't hold on.

Xia Keke paused for a moment, patted her skirt with her little hand, and found a place to sit down.

He just stared at Ling Mengxue quietly, his delicate oval face flushed slightly, his clear, flawless amber eyes blinking brightly, exuding an innocent charm that was almost irresistibly alluring.

In terms of temperament, it's very... criminal!

Ling Mengxue didn't pay any attention to her; the otaku would be stunned, but who was Ling Mengxue?

I have absolutely no interest in lolis!

Even if she's a lazy bum, she's a lazy bum with normal values.

I squeezed some toothpaste onto my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth, looking in the mirror as I brushed. For no reason, I started gagging and feeling nauseous. I don't know why.

In just ten minutes, Ling Mengxue finished washing up, packed her things, and prepared to leave.

Last night she left some clues for 'Bai Tangyin', but she doesn't know how that woman is doing now, or if she will come looking for her.

Hearing the noise from the outside world, she felt a little relieved.

Based on the current situation, he probably hasn't been caught yet.

"Does Brother Duskfall really have a girlfriend? Could you introduce me to her?"

In the hallway, Xia Keke seemed to still be thinking about that question and couldn't help but ask again.

But why does this little girl sound a little unwilling?

[img=700,959] Chapter 157 You seem to have that serious illness?

"Sure, I'll introduce you two when we have the chance to meet."

As if recalling her gentle girlfriend, Ling Mengxue's gaze softened.

Everyone has their own life, and even boyfriends and girlfriends rarely have the opportunity to meet.

Oh wait, she's my girlfriend now.

Xia Keke was lost in thought, nodding absently, and then didn't ask any more questions.

As soon as Ling Mengxue got downstairs, she saw the receptionist standing there, talking to a police officer. A police auxiliary officer was also with her, but they were a bit far away, so she couldn't hear what they were saying.

The smart and capable policewoman was wearing a dark blue uniform and white gloves. She was mature and composed, and spoke and acted efficiently. She made me feel very safe.

As they got closer, Ling Mengxue learned that these people had come to investigate the surveillance footage from the previous night.

"Officer, we already had someone come and repair it last night, but the lost video footage is completely damaged and has been maliciously vandalized. It can't be recovered," the receptionist said helplessly, looking at the auxiliary police officer who was trying to repair it.

Aren't these the videos you had people come and take care of yesterday?

Why did they come to fix it again today?

Shouldn't we make copies and keep safe the clues about the "Murder Demon's " whereabouts?

And they've only just arrested the person; the matter isn't even over yet. Why are they in such a hurry to dispose of the evidence?

Thinking this to herself, she didn't say anything more.

She was just an employee and didn't want to get involved in this mess.

I dare not speak, nor dare I ask.

The police officer in blue frowned after hearing this. Based on the timeline, the deletion and destruction of the video footage happened yesterday, right around the time the execution of the Murder Demon was announced. Could it be someone from the department pulling the strings again?
