My Endless Life.

Chapter 387 List
The rare item in Xu Leying's hand has no price?

how can that be!

Li Qi frowned and carefully sensed Xu Leying's emotions. After confirming that she was not lying, he lowered his head and began to think.

All strange things have a price, even Li Qi's own "artificial man" is no exception.

Although the price of Li Qi's rare item is for others, if Li Qi's consciousness leaves the puppet and the real body uses the 'artificial human', the real body will also have to pay the price of using the artificial human.

No one can avoid this.

Therefore, the "love" in Xu Leying's hands must have a price, but Xu Leying herself is not clear about it.

With this thought in mind, Li Qi stretched out his hand to Xu Leying and said bluntly:
"Show me the love."

"Um...you...you won't do anything to her, right? Let me first defend her...no, let me explain. Although she is a bit foul-mouthed, picky, and likes to play the devil's advocate...she has a really good heart! She didn't mean to call you a brat in the 'Nightmare Space' before..."

"That's enough! Xiaoying! If you keep talking, I feel like I won't be able to survive!!"

The magic wand, who was originally trying hard to be a little transparent, finally couldn't help but retort when hearing his partner constantly saying bad things about him and undermining him.

Xu Leying also seemed to feel that she had said something wrong. She immediately shut her mouth, silently took off the heart necklace and handed it to Li Qi.

The heart necklace 'lay' in Li Qi's palm.

Perhaps because Li Qi's previous behavior was too outrageous, the heart on the necklace was flashing rapidly, showing her nervousness and uneasiness.

Before Li Qi could speak, the heart necklace said in a very flattering tone:

"My Lord, just ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know. If you want Xiaoying to sleep with you, I will try my best..."

"Hey!!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Leying's face instantly turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or embarrassment.

She resisted the urge to snatch the love from Li Qi and said quickly:
"I've told you not to watch those nonsense TV shows! What the hell is going on here!"

"Shut up, Xiaoying! I'm fighting for my life! Can't you see that?!"

"I can only see that you are selling out your master for personal gain!!"

Xu Leying complained loudly.

Listening to their quarreling, Li Qi waited patiently for them to finish, and then said to the two of them:
"Okay, stop arguing. Your name is Love, right? Tell me first, what is a magical girl and what is the so-called 'nightmare space'? I'm very curious about these things."

Li Qi asked as he explored the entire structure of the heart.

He wanted to see whether the heart necklace in his hand that could turn a person into a magical girl was real and did not require any payment to use.

……

The army and people from the 057th Bureau poured into the heating plant.

Here they found staff members lying unconscious on the ground, but they did not seem to be in serious danger, as well as the police, firefighters and soldiers who had come in earlier.

Zhao Chenghu's eyes wandered over these people, and also over the entire heating plant which seemed to have remained unchanged.

He was looking for traces of the existence of strange objects.

However, he found nothing.

"Captain Zhao, the strange object has disappeared."

Meng Xiaolin, a team member holding another strange object beside her, walked up and whispered to Zhao Chenghu.

Zhao Chenghu sniffed his nose which was red from the cold, and without asking about the strange object, he asked Meng Xiaolin:

"Have you checked with the headquarters? Is what happened here pollution?"

"It has been confirmed. Headquarters said... there are no signs of contamination here. Instead, there is a confirmed small contamination in another place."

"If it's not pollution, then it's a strange object."

Zhao Chenghu sighed.

It could be the influence of the object itself, or it could be the price of the object, and this might be the reason why the three holders of the object came here at the same time.

The world has now entered a dark age, with increasing pollution and more and more strange objects.

And because of the increase in pollution and strange objects, strange phenomena have appeared around the world, making it impossible to distinguish whether it is pollution or strange objects in a short period of time.

Just like what happened to Zhao Chenghu this time.

In just one heating plant, we encountered three holders of rare objects. This is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon nowadays.

Therefore, the only rare object in Zhao Chenghu's hand is no longer enough to cope with the increasingly tense situation, and he must apply for another rare object from his superiors.

At least, each member of his five-man team must have a rare item in their hands.

Zhao Chenghu's face was filled with worry. He asked his subordinates to record the incident, compile it into a report and send it to their superiors. He then returned to his car parked outside the heating plant, exhausted.

As soon as he walked out of the heating plant, Zhao Chenghu stopped and looked at the other car blocking his way.

The car was pure black in color, with a white sign hanging in front of it representing the official color. The numbers on the sign were written very neatly, but what caught Zhao Chenghu's attention the most were the few numbers at the front of the sign.

057.

This is the car of Bureau 057.

But it was not the car Zhao Chenghu was familiar with.

Frowning and staring at the car parked in front of him, Zhao Chenghu walked forward and was about to inquire about the situation.

But just as he walked to the car window, the rear door opened in front of Zhao Chenghu.

Sitting in the back seat of the car was a short-haired man in a suit. If Li Qi were here, he would recognize him at a glance. This was Zhao Hong who had gone to the safe house to look for him.

He is also Zhao Chenghu's current immediate superior.

"It's you, sir."

Zhao Chenghu was very surprised to see Zhao Hong. He sat in the back seat at the invitation of Zhao Hong and asked in surprise:

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Chenghu knew Zhao Hong because the last time Zhao Hong came to Suhe City, he was looking for him for intelligence information on Li Qi.

It’s just that Zhao Chenghu always thought that Zhao Hong was an office worker, not a front-line worker, so he was very confused about his appearance on the front line at this moment.

Zhao Hong did not answer, but handed the prepared document to Zhao Chenghu and said:

"Don't ask so many questions, just look at this first."

"This is……"

"This is a list of all the owners of rare items in the entire Suhe City. I need you to find them within three days and recruit them."

Zhao Hong's voice was very soft, but the order roared in Zhao Chenghu's ears.

Not to mention the order that Zhao Hong gave to Zhao Chenghu, just the list in Zhao Hong's hand was enough to shock Zhao Chenghu.

The information of all the owners of rare items in a city is actually in this small file bag... This is definitely not something that can be done by ordinary methods!
Zhao Chenghu was shocked and couldn't react for a while. After a long time, he asked:
"This list... is..."

Before Zhao Chenghu finished his question, Zhao Hong whispered:
"The old director died."

"?"

Zhao Hong's answer was somewhat irrelevant to the question, and Zhao Chenghu didn't understand it for a moment, but he soon knew why Zhao Hong brought this up.

“Before the old director passed away, he used a magical object to elevate his life spirit to the extreme, and finally used the Twelve Golden Immortals Diagram to summon the strongest immortal among them.

"That immortal used divination to calculate all the owners and locations of rare objects across the country, so we have the current list."

Zhao Hong said, and finally turned his gaze to Zhao Chenghu. He said earnestly:
"Captain Zhao, you can't let the old director's kindness go to waste."

"..."

He used his own life to summon one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and asked him to use divination techniques that were more powerful than usual to find the owners of all the rare objects within the country.

This kind of determination and will made Zhao Chenghu admire him very much.

He stopped asking questions, opened the file bag, took out the files inside, and read them one by one. As he read them, the shock he felt at the old director's sacrifice gradually faded, and was replaced by shock at the strange things recorded in these files.

[Magic Book], [Transformation Necklace], [Virtual Card], [Flame Juice]...

In just a few pages, several extremely powerful and reasonably priced items are recorded!
Zhao Chenghu had never seen so many rare objects with special powers but at very low prices before, but now he saw them all here.

If we could recycle all of these rare items and give them to trained soldiers to use...

Zhao Chenghu's mind was a little active. Zhao Hong, who was standing beside him, seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said bluntly:
“For these people on the list, I advise you to recruit them first and hunt them down secondarily. The files I gave you all record those who can be recruited by the higher-ups and who have a certain degree of goodwill towards the country.

"Those who use these items will incur a huge price, or who have bad intentions, are the ones you really need to hunt down."

“…Ahem, I understand. I’m just thinking about it.”

Zhao Chenghu's expression froze when he heard this, and he quickly suppressed his thoughts.

The rare objects owned by the holders of rare objects can easily bring huge damage to the society. If they are not regulated, they may eventually cause serious and irreparable consequences.

But regulation also requires methods and approaches.

If the holder of a rare object they encounter has a good attitude and is willing to cooperate, they can recruit him into their organization.

Instead of treating the other party as a criminal and pushing them directly to the opposite side.

To make more friends and fewer enemies is the overall goal of China. Zhao Chenghu's idea of ​​robbing others by force is what the white barbarians in the United States and the European Union would do.

Zhao Chenghu and the others can't do this.

After confirming the people recorded on the file, Zhao Chenghu closed the file and looked hesitant as he looked at Zhao Hong, wanting to say something.

"Just say what you want to say."

Looking at Zhao Chenghu's expression, Zhao Hong knew that he must have something to say.

Zhao Chenghu showed a simple smile on his face and said:
"Commander, there will be no problem in finding the owners of these artifacts, but... you have to give me some help, right? I only have a C-level artifact and Xiaolin's artifact detector. These two artifacts are really not enough to face so many artifact owners, so you see..."

"Don't worry, helpers have been arranged for you."

Zhao Hong pinched his nose and spoke with a tired look.

Zhao Chenghu asked expectantly, "What is it? A rare item or a reinforcement from above?"

"Neither, it's a person..."

Zhao Hong sighed deeply, and in Zhao Chenghu's confused eyes, he gently patted his shoulder:

"He will come to see you tomorrow. I hope you won't be too surprised."

Hearing what Zhao Hong said, Zhao Chenghu was full of questions.

A person?

Will he be surprised to see the other person?

Zhao Chenghu couldn't understand what could be so surprising for him as the captain of the 057th Bureau.
