Li Hao exclaimed, “A question mark above this box of pills?”

Liohime Kitagami could only blink in utter confusion as the fully nude body of the woman came into view.And thus, only a single word creaked out from him in response.“….Eh?”The playful beaming smile of the young woman emerged right before she jumped at him and screamed with joy while her arms opened wide for an emphatic hug.“MASTER, WELCOME HOME!!!”It was at that moment that the life of Liohime Kitagami from the Shinigami Soldiers changed forever.In a modern fantasy world where powerful magic beasts are the norm, seventeen year-old Liohime undergoes his biggest undercover theft mission yet by sneaking into one of the branches of the most famous Magical Beast organizations.

As a high-risk individual, Ye Sangsang received an invitation to the beta test of the holographic game “Criminal Files.”As a game known for its high degree of freedom, high adaptability, and extremely realistic simulations based on real criminal cases, its beta release garnered significant attention.As a condition of the beta test, she was required to livestream her gameplay.Delicate, beautiful, and silent—these were the words often associated with Ye Sangsang.As a game that had captured the nation’s high expectations, many were baffled when they saw Ye Sangsang.This was quickly followed by ridicule.“Someone like her playing from the criminal’s perspective? The victim would probably turn the tables on her.”“Is she going in as an investigator? A beautiful but useless burden?”“The victim escaping alive? Don’t make me laugh.”But as the cases progressed, Ye Sangsang gradually left the audience in awe.“The criminal!!! Oh no, lock her up, I’m terrified of how she kills!”“Investigation? Come on, can you guys keep up with Sangsang’s pace?”“The victim! Ahhh, what a bloody battlefield!”The livestream chat, once filled with skepticism, eventually overflowed with admiration.Some even began to suspect that she might actually be a high-intelligence criminal herself.It wasn’t until later that Ye Sangsang’s holographic crime scene simulations helped solve one real-life case after another.Audience: ???!!!Ye Sangsang, facing the camera: Please note, I only perform once.[Reading Tips:]1.
