My Endless Life.

Chapter 371 New Undead

"Now that you know I'm not ordinary, what are you going to do?"

Li Qi, who showed himself to be unusual in front of Zhao Chenghu, leaned back slightly and asked on the sofa.

Zhao Chenghu looked at Li Qi again. He stared at him for a long time before asking:

"What is your magical item?"

"A strange item related to the spiritual aspect. The price is that the spiritual age will increase with each use."

Li Qi said casually. He did not say the name of the strange object, but only described the approximate ability of the strange object.

But when Zhao Chenghu heard Li Qi explain the power and price of the rare object, he showed a look of sudden realization:
"No wonder you look so mature."

At that moment, Zhao Chenghu figured out the reason why Li Qi matured so precociously. The prices of strange objects are varied. Some can make people look old instantly, while others can make people look younger.

As Li Qi said, it is normal to use spiritual abilities and pay the price of excessive spiritual maturity.

Instead, he relaxed a lot because of this.

The ability and price of the strange object that Li Qi told Zhao Chenghu were what he had thought of long ago, and they were used to deal with the excuses of certain people and officials.

When you come to another world, you have to integrate into the local world's power system, which is what Li Qi has always been doing.

Although Li Qi's ability can indeed be explained by "superpowers", in the current world where there are only strange objects but no superpowers, Li Qi's "superpowers" will become very abrupt and unusual.

That's why he described his ability as a miracle. At least this way people wouldn't be suspicious, and they would automatically guess where Li Qi's specialness came from.

Just like Zhao Chenghu at this moment, he has completely believed what Li Qi said.

After all, he couldn't find any other reasonable explanation except this one.

Understanding why Li Qi was so mature, Zhao Chenghu said to Li Qi:

"In that case, let's talk first."

"What to talk about?"

"…If you have the thinking of an adult, you should understand that the higher-ups will not allow civilians to possess rare items, so…you can either hand over the rare items or join us. There is no other choice."

Zhao Chenghu said very bluntly.

"No." But after Zhao Chenghu finished speaking, Li Qi smiled and said, "The prerequisite for handing over the rare item is that I can still be alive after handing it over, and the prerequisite for joining you is that I should at least be an adult... It just so happens that I don't meet these two prerequisites."

"..."

"I say, you don't really expect a little kid like me to go to work with you guys, do you? I'll warn you about child abuse."

Li Qi deliberately acted innocent and said to Zhao Chenghu.

After living for so long, Li Qi doesn't say that he has no moral integrity at all, but he doesn't have much left either.

He didn't care what he looked like or what age he was, nor did he care if it was embarrassing to disguise himself as a child. As long as it could bring him an advantage, he didn't mind using anything he could.

Besides, he is just a child now and there is no need to pretend.

It would be really stupid for Li Qi not to use such a convenient identity as a child.

Seeing Li Qi's completely shameless look, Zhao Chenghu was choked and speechless.

Regardless of the current world order, no matter when, whether it is humans or animals, when facing a crisis, they will give priority to saving children in the tribe.

Regardless of Li Qi's mental age, his current physical age is only nine years old.

A nine-year-old child should not be involved in dangerous work. Not to mention dangerous work, he should not even have the word "work".

His duty is to study hard and grow up slowly.

If you want Li Qi to work, you have to wait until he is at least sixteen years old.

After all, this world, which is similar to the Earth, is not the war world that Li Qi traveled through before, so after Li Qi said this, Zhao Chenghu could no longer say anything else.

He could only sigh:

"If that's the case, we will help you find another guardian, and you will live under our protection until you come of age."

"I already have a guardian." Li Qi pointed at Liu Cheng behind him and said, "And I don't accept any other guardian except him."

Zhao Chenghu frowned: "This is against the rules. He is not from our bureau."

"Wouldn't it be in accordance with the rules if he joined you?"

Li Qi finally stated his purpose.

Indeed, Li Qi could not join the formal department due to his age, but Liu Cheng was different.

He is already an employed staff member with a regular position, and as long as he passes the review, he can smoothly enter the 057 Bureau.

Moreover, compared to ordinary people who have to join the 057th Bureau in order to obtain rare objects, criminal police like Liu Cheng, who have been trained and have certain strength, are more popular with the 057th Bureau.

To be honest, Zhao Chenghu had wanted Liu Cheng to join them before.

But now that he knew that the relationship between Liu Cheng and Li Qi was not that simple, he didn't dare to make a decision so quickly.

Seeing that Zhao Chenghu was still hesitating, Li Qi continued:

"If you can't make up your mind, you can ask him to stay with you for a while. You are dealing with pollution now, right? You need someone with some criminal investigation experience to help you."

“…pollution is not something that ordinary people can handle.”

"Aren't you ordinary people too? Or do you have some rare items in your hands?"

Li Qi asked back, leaving Zhao Chenghu speechless again.

Seeing that Zhao Chenghu's momentum was completely suppressed by him, Li Qi said again:
"Anyway, what I can accept are only what I said. Whether you agree or not is your business." Li Qi picked up the tea on the table and said to Zhao Chenghu quietly:
"Captain Zhao, go back and think about it carefully."

Serving tea to see the guest off, Li Qi's meaning was very clear, he didn't want to continue talking to Zhao Chenghu.

Zhao Chenghu was helpless. He was usually decisive and resolute, but for some reason he couldn't find any chance to refute in front of Li Qi. It was as if something was pressing on him.

Zhao Chenghu suspected that Li Qi used his magic item to mentally oppress him during the conversation, but Zhao Chenghu had no evidence.

Moreover, after entering the bureau, these official members were all protected by a rare item, the [Mental Protection Device]. Logically, they should not have been subjected to Li Qi's mental pressure.

But he just couldn't be tough in front of Li Qi, which made him feel very awkward.

After taking a deep breath again, Zhao Chenghu placed the envelope for Li Qi on the table, stood up and said:

"I'll go back and think about it carefully."

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Cheng and said, "Captain Liu, if you don't mind, you can join us tomorrow. We do need the help of the criminal police team regarding this pollution."

"it is good."

Liu Cheng nodded briefly and watched Zhao Chenghu leave.

After Zhao Chenghu left, Liu Cheng asked Li Qi:
"I... Does this count as joining?"

"If they want to spy on me, they have no choice but to let you join, unless they use force."

Li Qi took a sip of hot tea and responded softly.

Liu Cheng was a little curious about this: "Are you really not worried that they will use force?"

Li Qi glanced at him and said, "It's not the end of the world yet. The government has to save face, and...even if they really want to use force, it doesn't matter. I will be fine anyway."

Li Qi moved his wrist as he spoke, and it rotated 360 degrees under Liu Cheng's gaze.

Liu Cheng: “…”

Yes, he forgot that Li Qi's current body was a puppet. Even if an accident really happened, the loss would be just that of an ordinary puppet, which Li Qi could fully afford.

……

It was not until he left Li Qi's villa that Zhao Chenghu no longer felt the oppressive feeling that made him speechless.

Only then did he realize that during the negotiation just now, Li Qi had indeed used that spiritual artifact to influence him.

But there is no point in saying this now. He has already promised Li Qi to let Liu Cheng temporarily follow the team, and it is impossible for him to go back on his word.

Just as Li Qi said, the government also needs to save face, and compared with other governments, the Chinese government tends to be more gentle in treating the owners of rare objects.

Li Qi was willing to interact with them and promised not to cause any trouble. Faced with such a proactive child, the higher-ups probably wouldn't use harsh measures.

He can do whatever he wants, and children always have some privileges in some aspects.

Looking at the flying snow in the sky, Zhao Chenghu withdrew his thoughts from Li Qi.

Although Li Qi was promised not to join Bureau 057, he still needed to be taken care of and controlled.

After all, in Zhao Chenghu's opinion, although Li Qi's mental age has become mature due to the side effects of the magic object, it does not mean that he can really be comparable to an adult. He is still a child.

Since they are children, they need adults to protect and care for them.

Zhao Chenghu would never have thought that Li Qi was an old monster who had reincarnated many times. In fact, no one in this world would have thought of this, except...

Someone who is also undead.

……

Suhe Central Hospital.

There was a thudding sound coming from a morgue cabinet somewhere in the underground morgue.

Since it was already late at night, the staff on duty were not near the morgue, so no one could hear the sound.

The noise grew louder and louder until the door of a morgue cabinet was kicked open.

A beautiful woman with disheveled hair crawled out of the morgue.

"..."

The woman who crawled out of the morgue looked up at the environment she was in and couldn't help but shiver.

She looked around blankly, then suddenly said to herself:
"It's bad, something went wrong with this reincarnation."

As she spoke, she looked down at her body and raised her right hand to her heart.

The body had no temperature and the heart did not beat. The body that the woman possessed was a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

The reason why we are able to act now is entirely due to the power brought by the vitality transformed from the powerful mental power of women.

Once a woman's mental strength is exhausted, this body will die instantly.

However, if one rushes into reincarnation before accumulating enough mental energy, one will most likely end up in a predicament where one’s memories cannot be awakened.

To this end, women must find a solution to this problem as soon as possible.

At this point, the woman's identity is obvious. She is a member of the undead race.

But she is not Mu Xi who transformed Li Qi into an undead.

Her name is Ye Yue.

Ye Yue Heng, a member of the undead clan 'Heng'.
