"Last night's attack involved evolved beings; it was only a matter of time."

Fan Xiao glanced at the unfamiliar man and woman behind Captain Wang, wondering about their identities.

The man had a resolute and handsome face, was about 27 years old, and had a very calm demeanor.

The woman was younger and quite attractive. Judging from her micro-expressions, she was probably the man's subordinate. Although she was staring at Fan Xiao, she would occasionally glance at the man, as if waiting for orders.

"Evolvers? That's just a rumor on the internet."

It was the woman who spoke.

She asked, "Why would you believe such rumors? And why are you so sure that the person who attacked you was an evolved being?"

"The opponent was incredibly strong, beyond what one would expect from someone of his size. The theory of evolution can explain this."

"Since the opponent was so strong, how were you able to turn the tables and send him to the hospital?"

"Because I am also an evolved being."

Fan Xiao's words were concise and to the point.

"..."

The woman was stunned for a moment.

Before she could even begin her prepared questioning routine, the other party had already confessed on his own. This… she subconsciously looked at the man.

The man and Fan Xiao locked eyes.

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Let's skip the unnecessary procedures. I just participated in the selection instance last night and became a formal player. I encountered two cannibalistic players in the instance. They are dead now. Here are their portraits."

He handed the man two sketch portraits.

"It's very well drawn, the level is very professional."

The man took it, glanced at it, and commented.

Fan Xiao replied, "I've done graphic design before, although it's not necessary, but I know a little about drawing."

The man handed the painting to the veteran detective and said, "Investigate their identities and relationships, and some murder cases might be solved."

Chapter 18 Take Me to Show Off and Fly High

"Let's get to know each other, my name is Du Ruo."

The man mentioned his name, then glanced at the woman beside him: "Her name is Wu Yanqing, she's my assistant."

"The so-called relevant department personnel?" Fan Xiao asked.

"To be precise, it should be called the 'Special Affairs Bureau,' a department established by the government a month ago, specifically responsible for matters related to Evolvers, Players, and Evolution Games."

Du Ruo said, "The cannibalistic evolved being who attacked you has been arrested by us. Would you mind revealing your player type?"

"White name".

Fan Xiao raised his right arm, revealing the white player number.

He then glanced at the veteran detective and asked, "Is Captain Wang an insider?"

“He only found out recently,” Du Ruo replied.

Beside him, the veteran detective looked at Fan Xiao with a complicated expression.

He had always felt that Fan Xiao was dangerous in some way, whether it was his ability, personality, or years of accumulated experience.

This kid has personally experienced too much evil and ugliness; it's hard to guarantee that his mind and body haven't been affected.

The veteran detective had a hunch that if Fan Xiao was up to something, something serious might happen.

Fortunately, this kid has always had a positive attitude.

But now it's different.

Vanshaw gets caught up in an evolutionary game full of danger and conflict.

He always had a feeling that this kid would cause some big trouble in the future.

"Do you remember what the other people looked like in the selection process you participated in?"

Du Ruo asked Fan Xiao.

“I remember. But I’ve been through thick and thin with the other five, and we get along well, so I can’t reveal their faces directly.”

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "Of course, if you make any demands on me, I can only cooperate, after all, you can't fight city hall."

"Don't test us, the Special Affairs Bureau isn't as petty as you think."

Du Ruo laughed as well: "The emergence of evolutionary games and players will inevitably impact the existing social framework, and this will become increasingly apparent over time."

"Players will become a crucial strategic resource in the future, even related to a new round of struggle for Earth's hegemony; every player is someone the Special Affairs Bureau wants to recruit."

"So, are you interested in joining?"

"Not mandatory?" Fan Xiao asked.

"It depends on your personal preference," Du Ruo reminded him. "However, with the backing of a nation, the intelligence and resources you can enjoy are incomparable to those of lone wolf players. Joining will only bring you benefits and no harm."

"let me consider it."

Fan Xiao has not yet given a reply.

"Okay, call me when you've figured it out."

Du Ruo handed a card to Fan Xiao: "It has my number on it, as well as an account and corresponding password for the Special Affairs Bureau website. The website contains some intelligence that we share."

"Thanks."

Fan Xiao thanked him.

……

After leaving Fan Xiao's house and saying goodbye to the old criminal police officer.

Wu Yanqing and Du Ruo got into a black sedan and prepared to head to their next destination.

In the back seat, Wu Yanqing said to Du Ruo, "Captain, I've used my talent to check, and the color of his number is correct. He's genuine."

"Okay. Let the snipers and the combat team withdraw."

Du Ruo nodded.

The Special Affairs Bureau currently has zero tolerance for blacklisted players who cannibalize others; they will arrest every single one they find.

However, distinguishing players solely by their ID number color could lead to misjudgments.

Because the game has a wide variety of items and strange abilities, it is possible for some players to obtain items that can directly or indirectly disguise the color of the item number.

To make it even simpler, just get an arm tattoo.

Fortunately, the Special Affairs Bureau has many methods for making judgments.

Wu Yanqing's talent, "Eye of Truth," is one of her methods.

It can see through any disguise.

“This kid seems a bit arrogant,” Wu Yanqing reminded him. “I don’t think there’s a high chance of winning him over.”

“A cooperative relationship can be established even without joining,” Du Ruo said. “I’ve seen his file; his experience is incredibly…rich. It’s hard to imagine that someone like him exists in the world. If the Evolution Game hadn’t only appeared a little over a month ago, I would have suspected that this kid had already acquired some kind of talent long ago.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yanqing's lips twitched slightly, probably because she thought of Fan Xiao's impressive "resume".

Du Ruo continued, "He's involved in so many incidents, yet he always manages to turn the tables. He's constantly navigating dangerous situations, yet he always manages to escape unscathed. And he's still living a fulfilling life... This kid is a talent! Send someone to keep an eye on him. I feel like we'll likely have to cooperate with him in the future."

“Yes.” Wu Yanqing nodded solemnly.

She also felt that Van Chau had a high chance of becoming a high-level player.

This must be given close attention.

……

Not long after Du Ruo and the others left.

Fan Xiao summoned the Angel of Death.

A little girl with black hair, red eyes, wearing a simple white dress and bare feet appeared.

Unlike the previous two times, this time she held a huge scythe on her shoulder with one hand, revealing a smug yet eager expression.

"Big scythe, cuts intestines, stabs hearts, chops heads, with a wave and a swing, everyone becomes cute... Hehe, Fan Xiao, the gift is great, I like you so much."

The little angel excitedly sang a lovely melody like a nursery rhyme.

The sickle in her hand was about the same height as the 181cm tall Fan Xiao, held in her small, white hand, giving a sense of "beauty and the beast" contrast.

Is this the kind of weapon that can conceptualize damage and directly bestow it upon other lives...? Fan Xiao glanced at it a few more times before saying, "I've given you a name, Qi Qi, which is a homonym for 'seven' in the Seven Deadly Sins."

“You are a life born from my negative emotions, so in a sense you are my daughter. From now on, you will take my surname and be called Fan Qiqi.”

"Oh."

The little angel wasn't in a good mood.

It seems that the name doesn't matter.

"Fan Xiao, let's go into the game. There are lots of toys to play with in the game, but you won't let me play here."

"Little Angel Fan Qiqi said."

So he really can sense whether I have hostility or murderous intent...? Fan Xiao nodded: "12 hours later, you need to cool down first. Now let's do a few experiments, can you teleport me with me?"

"No."

“Then let’s test flight,” Fan Xiao said. “My evolution rate has increased, so my mental strength should have improved as well. Your abilities are linked to my mental strength, so they should have improved as well. Take me flying and let me see what the top speed is.”

"You're a pig, you're so heavy."

"No, it wasn't me. I was carrying Lu Baizhi while you were carrying both of us, so it felt heavy."

Fan Xiao explained, "Actually, I'm very light. The one who's really heavy is Lu Baizhi. She's the pig."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qiqi suddenly said longingly, "That pig sister is so pretty, I want to play with her."

"How to play?"

"I want to slash her face, hear her screams, hehe..."

“You’re so kind,” Fan Xiao praised generously, “You didn’t even cut her up. You’re such a little angel.”

"Of course we should keep pretty toys and play with them forever, Fan Xiao. Can I play with her?"

"No."

"..."

The little girl stopped talking.

A person is sulking.

Fan Xiao pinched her slightly chubby cheeks and commanded, "Take me flying right away."

Chapter 19 Riding the Time Train

Ultimately, the flight experiment showed that even with all her might, Fan Qiqi could only move Fan Xiao at a speed of 10 meters per second.

He couldn't even run as fast as Fan Xiao himself.

It seems that little girls are not suitable as a means of transportation.

The ability to fly can only be used as a surprise tactic in certain critical situations.

"After all, his full-time job is as a thug, so we can't be too strict about that."

Fan Xiao forgave Fan Qiqi.

The summoning cooldown will resume after 12 hours.

He took out a time-travel ticket.
