My Endless Life.

Chapter 392 Girl
Wang He's home has been blocked.

There was no one in the entire house except a girl who was only six years old.

Zhao Chenghu came to the scene to meet Li Qi after dealing with Xie Yan's problem. He walked with Li Qi at the scene, with the report from Meng Xiaolin beside him:
"…According to the records, Wang Wanshu is an orphan, without a father or a mother…"

Meng Xiaolin said this with a somewhat tense expression. Even she found this file extremely absurd.

Li Qi didn't say anything. He looked around this home full of life, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Wanshu, a little girl who looked very well-behaved.

"Why does she seem to have no reaction when her parents are missing?"

Li Qi asked Meng Xiaolin.

Meng Xiaolin was the person responsible for questioning the girl Wang Wanshu, and she knew the girl's general information.

Hearing Li Qi's question, Meng Xiaolin replied:

"In her memory, she lost her parents when she was young, and she survived because of the help from her neighbors over the years."

“…This is too outrageous.” Zhao Chenghu couldn’t help but say.

How could a six-year-old child live alone for so long, even with the help of neighbors?

This is not a comic, and Wang Wanshu is not Li Qi!
Li Qi nodded in agreement with Zhao Chenghu's sigh:

"Yeah, that's outrageous."

The pollution that Wang He's family experienced this time was obviously the kind that would erase the memories of others, but this memory erasure was not complete. In addition to themselves, the traces they left behind would still exist.

So if we investigate in depth, it will give people a very serious sense of disharmony, just like it is now.

It feels reasonable, but your reason tells you that it is irrational. The two thoughts fighting in your head can easily confuse you.

Li Qi's gaze was still on Wang He's house. Finally, he asked Zhao Chenghu:

"Has the bureau confirmed this? Is this contamination?"

"It has been confirmed that new pollution has indeed occurred in Suhe City, but the level has not yet been determined because the scope of the pollution does not seem to be very large."

Zhao Chenghu said tiredly.

After the world fell into eternal night, the frequency of pollution has gradually increased, and there is no time to deal with many small-scale pollution incidents.

For pollution like this that spreads in a small area and has a minor impact, if Li Qi had not dealt with it specifically, Zhao Chenghu would probably have to wait a long time before he knew about it.

One of the most important reasons is that this pollution is highly concealed.

After all, no one would specifically investigate someone who doesn't exist.

After investigating at Wang He's home for a while, no one was able to get any useful clues.

Because in other people's memories, Wang He and Zhuang Yue no longer exist. They died a long time ago. No one will remember them, and no one will know their whereabouts.

There was no other way, Zhao Chenghu and others could only take the dumbest method to find clues.

That is to check the surveillance and files, find out all the places Wang He might have been, and find out the discordant points.

I didn't know what happened, but after the check, Zhao Chenghu sat up in the office immediately and reported to the headquarters, raising the danger level of the pollution to Class B.

It’s not that Zhao Chenghu found Wang He’s whereabouts, he found something even more terrifying.

In just one week, the number of people who disappeared inexplicably in the entire Suhe City reached nearly 10,000, but the disappearance of these people did not cause any impact on the surrounding areas.

They disappeared from everyone's memory, and everyone else was living their lives as usual, and not many people cared about their disappearance.

Even if someone cared, they were only a minority, and the few calls reporting the incident were drowned out by the extremely frequent calls to the police recently.

When Zhao Chenghu realized this, cold sweat instantly broke out.

He knew that if this matter was discovered a little later, perhaps this city would disappear from people’s memory!
This was no small matter, so he even wanted to ask for help from his superiors, asking them to send the Twelve Golden Immortals Diagram here so that the immortals could come forward to solve the pollution at the critical moment.

But Zhao Chenghu was just thinking about it.

Because his authority is not enough to apply for the Twelve Golden Immortals Map, and they are not clear about the conditions for the spread of pollution. At least they need to investigate what kind of pollution it is, whether it is contact pollution or cognitive pollution, so that they can better seek help from their superiors.

After all, the staffing of Bureau 057 is really tight right now.

"We don't even know whether it's contact pollution or cognitive pollution!"

The file on the disappearance of Wang He and Zhuang Yue has recorded one day, but during this day, apart from knowing that the pollution was very serious, Zhao Chenghu and his team received very little information.

They had no idea what had gone wrong, let alone the conditions under which the contamination had spread.

Li Qi sat in the conference room, frowning as he listened to Zhao Chenghu's distress and complaints.

He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he could not remember what it was.

After a while, Li Qi, who really couldn't remember, asked Zhao Chenghu:

"Don't these missing people have anything in common?"

"No! If we had something in common I wouldn't have such a headache!"

Zhao Chenghu drank cup after cup of tea, sighing.

Not only have these missing persons vanished, but their traces have also become extremely difficult to find as most people have lost the memory associated with them.

Although their images were recorded in the surveillance video, their reactions and actions were normal in those images, and there was nothing wrong. The investigation became extremely difficult, and Zhao Chenghu could not find any useful clues.

"Captain Zhao, if this doesn't work, we can only perform a large-scale memory erasure first."

Meng Xiaolin made suggestions on the side.

If you are unsure whether it is contact contamination or cognitive contamination, it is a good idea to treat it as cognitive contamination and perform a full-scale memory clearing.

If no one goes missing after the memory is erased, it proves that the pollution this time is cognitive pollution.

But if people are still missing after their memories are erased, it means they are exposed to pollution. If it is the latter, then we just need to find the source of the pollution.

The scope becomes smaller, clues are easier to surface, and everyone can investigate more easily.

Meng Xiaolin's suggestion seems to be a bad idea, but it is also the easiest way to implement at present.

All we need to do is convince the higher-ups to carry out a large-scale memory clearing.

"I can't help you with this matter for now." Li Qi sighed and said to Zhao Chenghu: "Just do what you need to do. Just call me when you need me."

Even Li Qi was powerless when it came to investigating the entire city.

It is true that he is a person with super powers, but even if he is a person with super powers, he is also specialized in his field. He does not have the skills to conduct large-scale investigations, and he is not a detective who specializes in solving cases.

This kind of thing should be left to professionals. Li Qi will train the designated team of rare items as soon as possible. Perhaps after training, this team can play an unexpected role.

As soon as a similar thought flashed through his mind, Li Qi thought of the two magical girls in the team.

Let’s not talk about Xu Leying for now, perhaps there may be similar magic in Yi Cheng’s magic book.

……

"Hehe, of course I know how to perform the magic of finding people, but if you want me to do it, you must give me more novel things."

When hearing Li Qi's question, Yi Cheng responded with her hands on her hips proudly.

For a chuunibyou, there is nothing in this world that she cannot do. Even if she really cannot do it, it is because of her "lack of magic power" rather than her own inability.

So no matter whether it was the magic of finding people or the magic of finding objects, as long as Li Qi asked, Yi Cheng's answer would definitely be "yes".

But although Yi Cheng is a bit immature, she is not stupid. She will not easily do anything that has no benefit. Therefore, after knowing Li Qi's request, she asked Li Qi for compensation.

"Sure, as long as you help me find them, I'll make more fun things for you."

Li Qi agreed to Yi Cheng's conditions without much hesitation.

Yi Cheng's conditions were not difficult, he could just use the small toys he made on a daily basis to get by, there was no need to prepare anything special.

After Li Qi agreed to the conditions, Yi Cheng acted quickly. After Li Qi finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to Li Qi and said:

"Give me the things that are related to the missing people."

As soon as she finished speaking, a mobile phone appeared in her palm.

That is Wang He’s cell phone.

Holding the mobile phone in his right hand and the magic book in his left hand, Yi Cheng's magic book began to turn pages automatically without wind.

The magic book seemed to have countless pages. No matter how long you flipped through it, you would never reach the end. Li Qi was not surprised by this. He just stared at Yi Cheng, waiting for the result of his search.

Yi Cheng was mumbling something to herself, the meaning of which was unclear, but she was repeating a spell that was as powerful as twenty feet over and over again in her mouth.

But as time went by, cold sweat broke out on Yi Cheng's forehead, and the sound of his chanting became a little weaker.

Seeing her expression, Li Qi knew what was going on. He stopped her and said:
"Well, if you can't find it, don't look for it."

“Who…who is missing! I am…but the Lord of Eternal Night! I am just looking for someone…”

The more Yi Cheng spoke, the more guilty he felt, and the magical light lingering around his body gradually dissipated.

This is a sign of her lack of confidence in herself.

Li Qi also discovered that the power of Yi Cheng's magic was also related to her beliefs. If her beliefs weakened, even if she maintained her middle school mentality, she would not be able to exert the full power of her magic.

So at this point, even if Yi Cheng really had the ability to find others, she couldn't use it at all.

Li Qi was not disappointed, nor was he anxious. He consoled Yi Cheng and said:
"Even the Lord of Eternal Night has failed before. Okay, save your magic power and continue training. It's getting late, and I still have to go home to cook for my sister. You should also go back early after training."

"Oh……"

Yi Cheng felt somewhat guilty because he failed to meet Li Qi's request.

She did not clamor for Li Qi to give her the "toy", but watched Li Qi leave obediently.

It was not until the other party left that Yi Cheng, while feeling relieved, thought of a question.

"Hmm? When did my friend have a sister?"

Yi Cheng has known Li Qi for some time, but she has never heard that Li Qi has any sister.

But after thinking about it, Yi Cheng stopped thinking about it.

After all, it's not a big deal.
