Chapter 347 - 347 145 The Evil Spirit Doesn't Need to Waste Food


347: Chapter 145: The Evil Spirit Doesn’t Need to Waste Food 347: Chapter 145: The Evil Spirit Doesn’t Need to Waste Food “I’ve been wronged!”


“I know you’ve been wronged.”


Li Mumu, who was inexplicably captured and brought back to the Special Service Bureau, finally experienced what class oppression felt like.


All those Throne Knights, those Red-Robed Elders, blowing their own trumpets extravagantly, they were all flash and no substance.


In the face of a grenade launcher, all beings are equal; once a round of ammunition is fired, regardless of what kind of supernatural being you are, you’re reduced to ashes.


What does a true powerhouse look like?


It’s like Qiao Hongyi!


Li Mumu, utterly powerless to resist and completely unaware of the method used against her, saw darkness, then light, and then she was at the Special Service Bureau.


This strength was terrifyingly impressive.


Fitting for a senior official of the Special Service Bureau.


Without such capabilities, how could one possibly control those demons and evil spirits flooding in from overseas?


Now, she was handcuffed in special metal, locked to a chair, unable to move and could only pretend to be docile, adorable, and harmless…


Bullshit.


I’m naturally very well-behaved!


“I’m aware of the incident at the Red Lantern Society.


It’s just that I didn’t expect you to be involved too; you brought this trouble upon yourself.”


After listening to Li Mumu’s full confession, Qiao Hongyi’s face remained calm, without a hint of surprise, though he still bowed his head in silence for a moment.


“Travel back in time from a future era to erase your existence with an angel?


Theoretically, that’s impossible, unless her rank is exceptionally high, like the ‘High-Dimensional String’ your mother mentioned.”


“There’s only one High-Dimensional String in the Christian God System, and that’s the Trinity, Jesus Christ.


If your unborn sister truly has the potential to ascend as a High-Dimensional String, that would only mean she is the reincarnation of Jesus or perhaps Jehovah’s container in the Mortal World—I’m more inclined to the latter.”


“However, that’s a problem for the people of the future.


The problems of the past are solved by the people of the past.


The problems of the future, by the people of the future.


And those of us living in the present just need to take care of the problems at hand.”


Qiao Hongyi raised one finger, pointing at Li Mumu: “And the current problem is you.”


“I am Li Mumu!


Commander Qiao, don’t you recognize me?”


“You only possess the memories of Li Mumu.


What other evidence do you have to prove that you are indeed Li Mumu herself?”


“I have!”


Li Mumu could certainly prove it for herself.


Her biggest fear was encountering a situation where scholars confront soldiers and reasoning falls on deaf ears.


Now, in the presence of the head of the intelligence department at the Special Service Bureau, what couldn’t she say?


They have vast experience dealing with demons and evil spirits…


Bah!


Who’s calling who a demon or evil spirit?


It means that no matter how bizarre the situation, they could understand instead of foolishly questioning the logic of your words.


“Wendy is Nyarlathotep’s chosen.


By using me as her real-world anchor, she can prove that I am the real Li Mumu!”


“Then how can you prove that Wendy is still the original Wendy and hasn’t been replaced?”


That’s even simpler.


Just ask her if she’s willing to wash her own underwear and socks.


However, to save the last shred of dignity for her best friend, Li Mumu did not voice this thought.


But the focus of the current problem isn’t about proving.


If we were to continue proving along the lines of Qiao Hongyi’s thinking, it would lead to an endless vicious cycle of self-verification.


He wasn’t truly seeking proof, he was just leading an interrogation…


This interrogation technique by the Special Service Bureau, Li Mumu had mostly learned it during her time at the Special Affairs Bureau in the future.


“Whether I am Li Mumu herself is not important.


Because to this world, Li Mumu herself isn’t very important.”


The Earth will keep spinning without anyone, Li Mumu isn’t the Federal President, nor the Mayor of Tianmen City; she is just a typical wealthy heiress.


Li Mumu is very aware of this.


“So proving myself is completely meaningless, merely a waste of time.


Whether it’s my unborn sister or the man who appeared with you tonight, insisting that I am some future Great Demon King, you should focus your main energy on them!”


“You’re right.”


Qiao Hongyi nodded, agreeing with Li Mumu’s statement.


“I will handle their issues, but I can’t just ignore your case.


You seem to be very lucid right now, so I won’t beat around the bush.


Miss Li, in your current state, I can’t just let you roam freely outside.”


“Do you mean I don’t have to be sent back to the Netherworld?


Can I stay?”


Li Mumu understood the implication behind Qiao Hongyi’s words.


If the original rules were followed, she had no anchor point and would return to the Thousand-Year Dynasty World at dawn, so he wouldn’t need to worry about her running amok outside.


Could it be that simply by crossing that “moat,” she would be deemed to have a temporary residence permit?


“How about this, you stay at the Special Service Bureau under observation for a while, and only after we are certain you are not a threat can you be released.”


Qiao Hongyi spoke earnestly, “It’s the same as the quarantine review in Edo Port last time, only the domestic screening system is stricter and longer, at least starting from three months.”


“Three months?”


I haven’t done anything and I have to squat for three months?


For what reason?


Li Mumu was shocked: “School starts in three months!”


“You still need to worry about that?”


Qiao Hongyi shook his head, “In your current condition, you are an ‘alien’ not belonging to the Real World, what we term as a demon-evil spirit.


Not to mention school issues, you can’t even function normally outside during the day.”


“What if I don’t want to?”


“Then it’s even simpler, I’ll sign a form here, and have you shot in ten minutes.”


Simple my ass!


Li Mumu glared at Qiao Hongyi, “If what that guy said is true, it’s impossible for me to die here!”


“If he’s telling the truth, that makes you even more worth shooting.”


Qiao Hongyi spread his hands, “Compared to someone who hides too much and dares not show his true face, I’d rather believe you, Miss Li, otherwise it wouldn’t be this normal internal review process.


I hope you can understand.”


Li Mumu sighed heavily, when under someone’s roof, one has no choice but to bow one’s head.


“Is it the same room as before?”


“You think too much, given your current situation, how can others stay in the room you’ve been in?”


Am I some dirty thing?


Well…


indeed I am.


“I’ll take you to the third underground level in a little while.


There, we have special care facilities built specifically for demons and evil spirits.”


“That’s just a prison!”


“It’s not a prison, it’s a special care facility.”


“What’s the difference?”


“The Special Service Bureau doesn’t have a prison.”


Qiao Hongyi smiled, “If a demon-evil spirit has no hope of redemption, we shoot to kill directly.


Why bother locking them up and wasting the nation’s food?”
