You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 438 The Golden Dynasty
"right here."

Kumado brought Chi Ping to the entrance of the Golden Tribe's ruins. From the outside, it looked like a huge rock covered with moss.

Ikehira wiped off the moss, and the huge rock underneath revealed a metallic luster.

"The entrance has been blocked, and only the spirits of the dead can enter." Kumado said as he walked out of the big tree.

In Ikehira's sight, Kumado, separated from the trees, was a human-shaped outline made of smoke.

As he spoke, he thrust half his arm into the boulder. "Like this, it's impossible to destroy it with external force."

Then he looked at Chi Ping and made an apologetic gesture.

He hoped Chi Ping would not blame him.

The next second, Chi Ping snapped his fingers. [Space Traveler] activated, but then the space around him became stagnant.

An incomprehensible whisper echoed in his ears, and with the help of the [Ruins Traveler], Chi Ping finally understood.

The whisper is a command, saying: Spatial abilities are prohibited here!
It is worthy of being the method of the Golden Clan. Even after millions of years of extinction, under the erosion of time, it can still suppress A+ level spatial abilities.

but--

Ikehira raised his fist.

[Body of Steel] + [Heart of the Infinite] + [One Thought Between Man and Nature] + [Solitary Justice] + [Walker Here] + [Speed]!
Under the effect of [Walker Here], three or four red dots appeared on the gate in front of him.

This is the weak point of things.

Chi Ping threw a powerful S-level punch, shaking the mountains and the earth, startling the birds and flying away, and the beasts running away!
The trees, swamps, and grass behind the boulder were blown away by the mighty wind, revealing the black soil, which was then filled with the surrounding water.

"Many times, it's not that we can't do something, but that we don't have enough strength." Chi Ping said, then took a step into the opened metal boulder.

The interior space was a huge staircase that led down. When Chi Ping reached the bottom, he saw a dense crowd of figures. When Chi Ping looked closely, he found that they were rows of terracotta warriors.

Each figurine has a metallic texture and is meticulously crafted, with every detail of the figurine's clothing, wrinkles, and hair clearly visible.

Chi Ping placed his hand on one of the figurines, and a faint blue light burst out from the figurine's eyes. The light became brighter and brighter until it completely enveloped Chi Ping.

He didn't resist, and when the blue light disappeared, Chi Ping had already moved to another place.

He was standing in a small wooden house, about forty to fifty square meters. The furnishings were relatively simple, the only noticeable electrical appliance being the wobbly chandelier overhead.

Ikehira's clothes had also changed, his original clean and casual attire had now become some kind of black uniform.

He felt a tight buckskin belt around his waist. His clothes were neat and tidy, his leather boots were shiny, and most importantly, he had a weapon like a pistol on his waist.

Through the half mirror on the dressing table, Chi Ping discovered that it was not just the clothes that were broken.

People have also changed.

He is now a middle-aged man with black hair and golden eyes. He looks to be about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. The nameplate on his neck is engraved with the original name of this body.

——An Chongwen.

Traveled through time? Traveled through time and became someone from the Golden Dynasty?

Would just touching the figurine cause such a change?
The technology of the Golden Tribe is truly incredible.

Chi Ping sensed it.

Fortunately, the entries are all there.

Then don’t panic, first see what the Golden Dynasty is like.

Chi Ping had no memory of An Chongwen in his mind, so he could only explore the world bit by bit.

He first checked the cabin, hoping to find some useful information.

First, the latch of the cabin door had been broken. This damage was from the outside in, so someone must have broken into the house.

He checked the house again and found some clothes, milk powder, diapers and bathtubs for women and children.

At this point, it can be basically determined that a woman should live here with her child.

There were footprints near the window of the cabin, probably someone had climbed out. The water stains on the footprints were still wet, so they must have not gone far.

Chi Ping followed the trail and found that the footprints were small, so they must be a woman's.

His steps were untidy and he seemed to be in a hurry.

Ikehira activated [Hurry] and in a blink of an eye saw a figure in the distance.

It was a mother, staggering and running away with her child in her arms.

My mother is a beautiful young woman, the few wrinkles on her face are the taste of maturity brewed by time. Her messy bangs bring a bit of panic beauty.

When she fled in a hurry, she was wearing a clean and neat close-fitting dress, which made her body particularly eye-catching.

The child, a little over a year old, cried incessantly in her arms. The young woman had to stop every two steps to comfort the child.

A beautiful young woman and a baby, they probably don't look like criminals.

Who commits a crime and has a child?

"Do you need help?" Chi Ping's voice sounded at the right time. Based on the uniform on the host, he basically judged that the host's identity should be an official.

Official staff, it’s okay to help someone in need, right?

The young woman was obviously startled when she suddenly heard Chi Ping's voice. She staggered and fell to the ground.

But before she fell, Chi Ping used [Quick] to catch her and the child.

The child was crying loudly and the young woman was sweating from running.

Chi Ping put them aside and rubbed his body for a long time, but he couldn't find anything like a tissue. The young woman kept looking at him nervously.

"Are you okay?" Chi Ping smiled gently.

"No, it's okay." The young woman held the child and stood aside stiffly.

The child's cries were loud, and Chi Ping gently touched the little one's face. It was tender and soft, like a plastic bag stretched tight by warm water.

Seeing someone touching her child, the young woman seemed very nervous and kept staring at Chi Ping's hand.

Then, I saw Chi Ping scratching his head: "I'm not very good at coaxing children."

The young woman looked at Chi Ping in surprise and doubt, then slowly lifted up her clothes, revealing a plump glutinous rice and red date cake.

Then start breastfeeding.

"He's hungry."

Breastfeeding in public is relatively rare in the United States, but it is very normal in some countries.

The customs were different, and although Ikehira was a little shocked, he could understand it.

Chi Ping had no choice but to turn around. The baby was sucking so loudly that he actually made a sound with every mouthful he sucked.

The wind was freezing cold, and the young woman was only wearing two layers of clothing. Chi Ping took off his uniform jacket and put it on the young woman.

They looked like they were in trouble.

It just so happens that Chi Ping can find out the situation of the Golden Dynasty from them while helping them.

After eating a few mouthfuls, the baby pushed his mother away, stopped crying, and looked around with wide eyes.

Children are always more fun when they are not crying.

Chi Ping reached out from the young woman's arms and took the baby.

Pinching his little hand that looked like a Michelin tire, the one-year-old baby could already grasp things on his own. Chi Ping placed his index finger on the baby's palm.

He immediately grasped Chi Ping's fingers, and his small hand just wrapped around the first two parts of the index finger.

"Oh!" The baby opened his mouth and said "Oh" to Ikehira. Although he didn't know what it meant, Ikehira responded with an "Oh".

The baby's mouth is full of saliva, and you can see the four newly grown front teeth soaked in saliva.

Her little butt was soft and elastic. She grabbed Chi Ping's collar with both hands and rubbed her saliva on Chi Ping.

"S-Sorry." The baby's mother and Ikehira apologized.

"What's your name?" Chi Ping asked.

"Hua Lan." said the young woman Hua Lan.

Chi Ping was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Where's the baby?" Hua Lan immediately realized what was happening and said a little embarrassedly, "Wait, wait."

Chi Ping nodded: "What happened to you?"

Hua Lan thought for a moment and said, "The child's father was beaten to death. The murderer chased us to the door, and I ran away with the child, and then the police officer caught up with us."

The "officer" she was talking about was Chi Ping.

Chi Ping thought for a moment: "What does the murderer look like? Do you remember?"

Hua Lan was silent for a moment, then said, "He's a big bearded man."

Ikehira activated his [Insight] and saw no one else around. He must have gotten away. Or perhaps the bearded man, fearing Ikehira's identity as a police officer, had gone into hiding.

"So where are you going next?" Chi Ping asked. "Do you want me to take you to where I work and see if you can get any help?"

Chi Ping didn't mention the police station, mainly because he was worried that if they were the Super Power Bureau like the Federation, wouldn't that give the whole thing away?

Hua Lan immediately shook her head. She was trembling, and it seemed that she was frightened by the bearded man. "I just want to find a place to rest with my child."

Chi Ping looked at Deng Deng, who was sucking his fingers in his arms, then looked at Hua Lan and asked, "Do you have anywhere to go?"

Hua Lan was stunned for a moment: "I don't know where to go."

Chi Ping freed one hand and rummaged through his pockets, pulling out a wallet. Inside was An Chongwen's ID and some cash.

In the other pocket was a cell phone, a car key and a card.

Chi Ping thought for a while and had a plan.

"If you don't mind, then come to my place and stay for a while."

Chi Ping saw an address in the identity information column on An Chongwen's ID, which should be the location of the host's room.

Hua Lan hesitated for a long time, and finally looked at Deng Deng in Chi Ping's arms, and finally agreed.

Chi Ping had seen such things before.

I guess Hua Lan misunderstood and thought I was after her body.

Afterwards, Chi Ping led Hua Lan to the previous wooden house. It was not safe here until the murderer of her husband was arrested.

The two found Chi Ping's police car in front of the wooden house.

The police car was black and white, and the driver's seat was bare. Chi Ping quietly flipped through his phone's contacts and social media apps, and was basically certain that An Chongwen was single and lived alone.

When Chi Ping started the car, it stalled twice.

Fortunately, the driving principles of vehicles in both worlds were similar. After fiddling around for a while, Chi Ping finally understood.

Following the navigation, Chi Ping brought the two of them to his residence.

In the car, Chi Ping tried to chat with Hua Ran.

I learned that the Golden Dynasty was similar to the constitutional monarchy of Ikehira's previous life. The highest power in the country was held by the Council of Nobles.

Most of the time, the king is just a symbol.

Every citizen can awaken golden eyes, which are super powers.

Wu Qian has always dreamed of everyone having special abilities. But he wondered what he would think when he learned that even after universal awakening, class conflicts would still exist.

The young woman, Hua Lan, is already 172 years old. After the civilization reached its peak prosperity, the Golden Dynasty greatly increased everyone's lifespan and allowed people to maintain eternal youth.

Therefore, people here rarely have children because there is no need.

I am forever young and strong, so why should I endure that hardship and shoulder that responsibility again?

People like Hualan are 100% outliers.

Soon, the car arrived at An Chongwen's residence. As soon as he got out of the car, he felt the strong wind blowing in his face.

Hua Lan had to wrap the child in her coat and go upstairs with Chi Ping.

The card on Chi Ping's body is the key to the room.

There were fewer technological gadgets in the room than Chi Ping had imagined, and the room seemed unusually empty.

Ikehira glanced at the house and found it was fine.

There was more than one bedroom, and Chi Ping pointed to one of them and asked Hua Lan to stay there.

Hua Lan thanked him profusely in nervousness, and Xiao Dengdeng was able to flutter on the comfortable sofa, with his laughter filling the room.

The two chatted for a while, and Chi Ping learned from Hua Lan how to use the electrical appliances in the house.

Hua Lan, on the other hand, never felt strange about Chi Ping. Instead, she always felt nervous and unnatural, as if she was not suited to the new environment.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Hualan cooked dinner. While Chi Ping was eating, she was feeding the baby.

At this time, the cell phone rang.

The note is: Liu Xi, Police Department.

"Hello, Liu Xi." Chi Ping answered the phone.

"Why didn't you come to clock out or report in when you got off work?" Liu Xi asked from the other end.

"I was just about to report it." Chi Ping said nonchalantly.

"Remember to come. If something happens while you're on patrol, that's another matter."

Chi Ping thought for a moment and decided to go to the police station. After all, this was also an opportunity to gather intelligence on the Golden Dynasty.

After saying something to Hua Lan, he went downstairs.

He got in his police car and followed the historical navigation and arrived at the police station half an hour later.

He began to wander around, then quietly looked for An Chongwen's seat.

Suddenly, someone patted him from behind.

"You're back?" The man who patted Chi Ping was a burly man, about 1.89 meters tall, with a bald head. His uniform was so tight because of his bulk. "Want to have a drink later?"

Chi Ping nodded in agreement and found the strong man's photo and corresponding name: Batu in the employee column on the wall.

"I'll go after I clock in." Chi Ping responded.

Then, he found the police station, checked in, and returned the gun like everyone else had done.

Afterwards, Cai went to a bar with Batu.

The lights are dim and the air is turbid.

Batu led Chi Ping to a booth where they could just see the graceful figure of the dancer.

After a few drinks, Batu approached Chi Ping and shouted at the top of his voice, "How did today's mission go?"

"It went pretty smoothly." Ikehira replied.

The music here is so loud that you have to shout to hear it.

"I heard—" Batu shouted, "Her husband tipped off his wife and child in advance, allowing them to escape. After you killed her husband, didn't you catch up with them?"

These words, mixed with the heavy metal music in the bar, hit Chi Ping's ears like a sledgehammer.

Fortunately, the lights in the bar were dim, so Batu couldn't see the expression on Chi Ping's face.

But then he heard Batu say, "Illegal childbearing is a serious crime. If they dare to give birth, they should think of death."

Ikehira nodded blankly, found an excuse to go to the bathroom, and searched for "illegal child-rearing" on his phone in the bathroom.

Soon, official documents appeared.

The general idea is that after civilization has developed to a certain level, the population has reached saturation, resources have been fully distributed, and life expectancy has been greatly extended, leading to eternal youth.

If you want to have a child, there is a strict process. Illegal childbearing is a very serious crime in the Golden Dynasty.

Chi Ping immediately understood.

No wonder Hua Lan is always so nervous when facing me!

No wonder Hua Lan didn't dare to oppose her proposal!
No wonder, the wooden room was destroyed from the outside, it turns out that the culprit was myself!
