Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

The elderly woman who walked her dog off-leash was detained for obstructing official business.

The video from that day went viral online.

At first, everyone was cursing the police, but after someone released the full video, the blame shifted to the old woman.

The old woman's son is the owner of a listed company, and the stock price dropped several points because of this incident.

The most popular part of the video is the scene where Bai Zhizhi fights against Nuomi.

It's truly a miracle that a little girl could escape unscathed after being surrounded by fire.

Some netizens slowed down the video to the extreme and discovered that the flames started appearing from Bai Zhizhi's hand.

Given Bai Zhizhi's appearance, rumors have already started circulating that she is a little fairy.

The comments section was buzzing with excitement.

[Really? Is this for real? Can something like this still happen in the 21st century? It must be photoshopped.]

[The scene is strange, I swear it's real!]

[This little girl looks like a fairy.]

[Wait, didn't this little girl appear in a live broadcast program?]

[I just remembered, it was when they were training police dogs, hahaha!]

The video was taken down from all online platforms in less than a day, and no one discussed Bai Zhizhi anymore.

At a desk, a man in a brown trench coat quietly watches a video saved on his phone.

His skin was fair, but showed no signs of fragility. His shirt was buttoned up to the top, giving him an aloof and ascetic air.

The video freezes on the moment Bai Zhizhi holds the talisman.

He pursed his lips slightly and let out a disdainful chuckle.

……

"Is Zhizhi a fairy? Why does she know magic?"

During an outdoor class, the teacher led the children in a line to cross a log bridge one by one.

Xingxing pulled Bai Zhizhi along as they lined up on the playground, their two little heads huddled together.

Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Bai Zhizhi's hands.

Xie Guan stood in front of them, turned around and retorted, "How could there be magic? Are you all idiots?"

Xingxing pouted unhappily: "Xiao Guan is the idiot! Zhi Zhi really does have magic!"

"I saw the video. Zhizhi's palm suddenly lit up with fire, and she chased the bad dog away!"

Xie Guan was about to speak. He tugged at Xingxing and said, "Don't be like her. Mom said kids shouldn't play with fire."

Just as Bai Zhizhi was about to explain, Xie Guan was pulled onto the log bridge by the teacher and ran away.

When it was Bai Zhi's turn, she fearfully clung to the log bridge with both hands and shuffled across like a caterpillar.

Xingxing and Xie Guan were waiting for her on the other side. As soon as she came down, Xie Guan laughed at her: "A fairy, huh? You can't even cross a single-plank bridge. Zhizhi, you're so weak."

"How can you be a boss like this? It seems I'm the boss now. You two have to listen to me, understand?"

Bai Zhizhi retorted, not to be outdone: "Zhizhi, why did I just hear Teacher Xiaoyang call you Xie Guai? That name isn't manly at all, Xie Guai, Xie Guai!"

Xie Guan's face instantly turned red, his ears turning bright red, and he stomped his foot angrily: "You're not allowed to shout!"

"Thank you so much!"

"Coward! Coward!"

"It's so spicy, so spicy, stop arguing!"

Xingxing comes to kindergarten every day but doesn't do anything else; she just tries to mediate fights.

These two rivals bicker the moment they meet, with Xingxing thinking she's the boss.

The two stopped shouting when they were tired. The truce was triggered when Bai Zhizhi went to get a water bottle and drank some water, and Xie Guan followed her.

The two of them stared at each other as they drank water, and after they finished, they were too lazy to argue anymore.

After everyone had finished crossing the log bridge, the teacher gave the children ten minutes of free time.

Xingxing then pulled the two of them to the plant corner and said mysteriously, "Zhizhi, can you perform that magic again?"

Bai Zhizhi shook his head mysteriously: "Is this magic, Star? This is the Tao."

Xingxing and Xie Guan both looked curious: "What is the Dao?"

Bai Zhizhi recalled the elder's words: "Humans possess the Way, which is formless. The day it takes form is the day for cultivation."

The two little ones were completely bewildered.

"Is that a spell?"

"It means that everyone has the Dao, and once you cultivate it to the point of mastery, you can use the Dao just like Zhizhi."

Xingxing finally understood and excitedly grabbed Bai Zhizhi: "Can stars use magic too?"

Bai Zhizhi didn't hesitate for a second: "No, you can't."

The stars withered like dried flowers: "Isn't it said that everyone has their own path?"

"Because the stars didn't cultivate, while Zhizhi is a little ginseng spirit who cultivated for three hundred years!"

"Ginseng! Is it that really expensive ginseng?"

After hearing this, Xie Guan laughed at her again: "What little ginseng spirit? Zhizhi, don't try to fool me. How can something you eat turn into a person?"

"If you're a ginseng spirit, then I'm an Ultraman spirit!"

Bai Zhizhi wasn't angry at all; instead, she grabbed him in surprise and asked, "Really? Are Xiao Guan and Zhizhi the same kind? Is Xiao Guan an Ultraman in disguise?"

"Zhizhi is watching Ultraman on TV, he's so amazing! He can fight giant monsters! Can Xiaoguan fight giant monsters too?!"

Xie Guan was dumbfounded; he never expected Bai Zhizhi to believe him.

"You..." Xie Guan was speechless, then turned his gaze and saw the star-like eyes of worship.

But he quickly put his hands on his hips triumphantly and declared, "That's right! I am Ultraman, so you should all acknowledge me as your boss!"

Bai Zhizhi and Xingxing shouted in unison, "Boss!"

"If you ever encounter a giant monster in the future, be sure to hide behind me! I, Ultraman, will protect you!"

……

Qin Qingzhou picked Bai Zhizhi up from school on time in the afternoon. As soon as Bai Zhizhi saw him, he told him that Xie Guan was Ultraman.

Qin Qingzhou was both amused and exasperated, thinking to herself that young boys these days are quite good at flirting with girls.

To make up for not picking up Bai Zhizhi a few days ago, he specially took the little guy out for pizza.

Bai Zhizhi ate to her heart's content, patted her belly, and slowly went upstairs.

Qin Qingzhou followed behind, carrying Bai Zhizhi's small schoolbag in one hand.

"Huh?" Bai Zhizhi stopped at her doorstep. "Uncle, there's a package!"

Qin Qingzhou ignored her and her gaze fell on a small envelope on the ground in front of her house.

The envelope was quite thick, and it seemed to contain a lot of things.

He didn't have a courier service, and this envelope doesn't look like one.

Could it be a document sent from the bureau?

He bent down to pick up the envelope and pulled Bai Zhizhi into the house.

Bai Zhizhi curiously leaned over to take a look, while Qin Qingzhou examined the envelope but couldn't figure out what it was.

"Zhizhi, help me record this video."

"Hao~"

Bai Zhizhi stood on a chair, holding up her phone, the camera shaky.

Open the envelope; inside is a piece of paper with writing on it, and another stack of separately wrapped white envelopes.

The letter read:

[To: Bai Zhizhi]

Qin Qingzhou's fingers tightened.

I apologize for contacting you in this way. Due to the nature of my profession, I am unable to appear in person. I saw your abilities online, so I am seeking your help.

My younger sister went to a place called "Huling Village" during summer vacation and then disappeared. I tried to investigate the village, but it's not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Perhaps only you can help me find my sister.

The envelope contains a deposit. I will pay you five times the deposit after I find my sister.
