…

Meanwhile.

Outside the room, as Fang Ze walked downstairs, he silently recalled information about this world.

This world was different from the world in Fang Ze’s previous life. Decades ago, a cataclysm had led to the creation of a superstate where all human beings were united. The Polaris Federation was born.

The Polaris Federation had a vast territory of 146 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 5.7 billion people.

It had nine jurisdictions and 57 states under it.

In wartime, the Parliament of the Polaris Federation had absolute rights. However, in peacetime, the various jurisdictions and even the states had extremely high autonomy. Each jurisdiction and state was equivalent to an independent kingdom.

Furthermore, the owner of this villa was a very wealthy businessman in this state who specialized in cross-state trade.

He kept a few charming alien mistresses in this villa and would come here every holiday to indulge in luxury.

However, they did not expect this place to become their burial ground…

Fang Ze walked through the hallway and up the carved staircase to the lower floor. The wide, luxurious interior hall of the villa came into view.

Several of Fang Ze’s colleagues were already busy in the hall.

Since this incident involved Awakened people with extraordinary powers, the Investigation Department took it very seriously and sent a total of 21 agents to investigate.

However, he did not know if there was a certain gap in criminal investigation methods between the two worlds, but Fang Ze felt that these colleagues of his were a little “shoddy”.

They seemed very professional, but they could not find many obvious clues or analyze them.

They needed Fang Ze’s help every time. It caused the case to progress very slowly.

Of course, although their abilities were a little poor, these colleagues were very good people.

Perhaps it was because he was injured, but Fang Ze felt that these colleagues were more concerned about him than the case.

Every time they met him, they would ask about his well-being. Every time he wanted to go out alone to investigate, they would also take the initiative to help.

Anyway… They were very friendly.

He smiled and greeted a few of his colleagues.

With a good mood, Fang Ze prepared to continue his work with the on-site exploration.

However, before he could put on his protective gear, a voice suddenly called out to him from behind.

“Little Fang, could you come here for a minute?”

Fang Ze looked up to see an agent in his forties, who was wearing a yellow jacket over his uniform jacket. The agent was waving at him.

He looked at the agent’s unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar face and replied, “Liu… Wang… Zhang… Er…”

The agent didn’t mind. He smiled and reminded him, “Qin.”

Fang Ze smiled in embarrassment. “Oh, right. Brother Qin, Brother Qin. I’m sorry, Brother Qin, I can’t remember you guys.”

Agent Qin said magnanimously, “It’s fine.”

“After all, you’ve lost your memory. It’s only natural that you can’t remember us. We understand that.”

“It’s also because we’re so busy and transferred you at the last minute, so you can’t concentrate on getting better.”

“So, we should be the ones who are sorry.”

Fang Ze smiled.

He felt lucky to have such a group of friendly colleagues as soon as he transmigrated.

After chatting for a while, Fang Ze took the initiative to ask, “Brother Qin, why are you looking for me?”

Only then did Agent Qin remember why he was called Fang Ze. He said, “Come, come to me. I found a clue that I need you to help with.”

As they talked, they reached the lobby at the front hall of the villa.

As the largest area of the villa, this should have been the most luxurious and grand place. However, everything was destroyed by the huge stone cone that fell from the sky.

The stone cone was sharp at the bottom and wide at the top. It pierced deep into the ground.

The marble parquet floor, which had been filled with artistry, had been forcibly broken by the stone cone. It started to shatter like a spiderweb from the point of contact, and rubble was everywhere.

Fang Ze looked up at the massive stone cone.

Even though he had seen this stone cone many times, Fang Ze was still surprised at how magical this world was every time he saw it.

Since he had to assist in the investigation, the Investigation Department gave Fang Ze a lot of internal information.

Fang Ze also knew that this world was not the same as his own. It had all kinds of magical or strange abilities. They were collectively called Awakened abilities.

According to the information from the Investigation Department, Awakened abilities… were strange.

For example, in one of the cases, a ‘Doctor’ suddenly awakened his ability.

Although the appearance of his left hand had not changed, the side of his arm near his pinky finger and the tip of his index finger were as sharp as scalpels. They could cut through a patient’s skin and internal organs, allowing him to perform some very complicated surgery with his bare hands.

For example, in another case, there was a ‘Shepherd’ who suddenly awakened the ability to control wolves. However, after each manipulation, he would transform into a werewolf. Only on the next full moon could he return to his original human form.

Another example was that in a group event, there was a group of ‘Beggars’. They were ordinary people when they acted alone, but once they gathered together and formed an organization, there would be a strange ‘Unity Force’. They could superimpose physical strength and share their lives…

There were other cases. There was an Awakened whose body could grow mushrooms that allowed them to retain their youth forever. There was a clown who could create infinite clones, but their intelligence would decrease and their strength would increase every time they created clones. There was also an Awakened who didn’t want to study and summoned a substitute land spirit who could study and train in place of their master, and the effects would double… There were many other examples.

At that time, after reading the introduction of these Awakened abilities, Fang Ze Ze became interested in this magical power.

After all, as a transmigrator who had come to a world filled with extraordinary powers, how could he not yearn for such power?

Putting everything else aside, with this power, he would at least have the power to protect himself in this alternate world. He could control his fate.

However, when he wanted to learn more about how to obtain Awakened abilities, he realized that there was nothing in the provided information.

He had asked his colleagues. They had just shaken their heads blankly. They said that it was confidential and that they didn’t know.

He only heard that it seemed to rely on some spirit, bloodline, medium, or… faith.

“Spirit…”

“Bloodline…”

“Medium…”

“Faith…?”

Fang Ze silently committed these suspected methods to memory, thinking about the possibility of future contact.

Of course, he had also asked his colleagues if he had Awakened abilities in the past.

This time, his colleagues shook their heads firmly and said that Fang Ze had never awakened any abilities…

…

After snapping out from his memories, Fang Ze was led by Agent Qin to a pile of freshly dug soil beside the stone cone.

Fang Ze didn’t react at first. It was only after Agent Qin’s reminder that he realized that there were some charred ashes mixed in with the soil.

Agent Qin said, “I accidentally discovered this clue when I was investigating the scene this afternoon.”

“Help me to set the soil. Then, take it to a colleague in the identification team for testing.”

Since he had the lowest seniority in the task force, the agents always let Fang Ze handle some “dirty work.”

Fang Ze was a little uncomfortable at first, but when he realized that there were often important discoveries in this “dirty work”, he readily agreed.

This was also the key to his frequent “contributions” recently.

Therefore, in the face of Agent Qin’s request, he did not refuse. Instead, he gladly put on rubber gloves and began to collect the soil mixed with ashes…

…

Time always flew by when one was busy.

Soon, the day passed.

After a long day, Fang Ze dragged his tired body to the brick house outside the villa.

This was a temporary residence specially built by the Investigation Department for this case.

Because of the confidentiality of this case, all members of the task force had to stay in this temporary residence until the case was solved. They couldn’t leave.

There were a dozen rooms in the residence. Each room was a standard room. Fang Ze lived with a young agent named Wang Hao, who had been transferred from a high-level city. They got along very well.

Wang Hao was a handsome, cold-faced man.

When Fang Ze met him for the first time, he was a little surprised. Why was this person as handsome as him? There was no justice in this world.

After interacting with him, Fang Ze realized that Wang Hao’s personality was also very good.

Perhaps because he was in a high-level city and was not good with words, Wang Hao had been cold-faced since he joined the task force. He did not like to talk or smile.

Fang Ze greeted him, but he just grunted and ignored Fang Ze.

It was not until Fang Ze found many clues and gradually “proved his abilities” in the task force that Wang Hao’s attitude changed.

Although he was still not enthusiastic when facing Fang Ze, he would occasionally pretend not to care and ask Fang Ze questions.

Even though he would return to his cocky self after every question, judging from the extra fruits and snacks on Fang’s bed from time to time, this kid knew how to repay kindness.

Therefore, Fang Ze gradually got used to this way of interacting with him.

There was nothing else. He just liked this feeling of conquering pride!

When he returned to the dormitory, Wang Hao was already sitting on the bed, reading.

He looked up at Fang Ze when he heard the door open.

Fang Ze came through the door and looked at him. They stared at each other in silence.

A moment later, Fang Ze was the first to greet him with a smile. “Good evening.”

Only then did Wang Hao respond smugly. “Good evening.”

Amused, Fang Ze walked to his bed and took off his uniform. Then, he looked down and saw several fresh oranges lying on his table.

He was about to turn around and ask, but before he could ask, Wang Hao explained without looking up, “It’s from home. They’re about to expire. I can’t eat all of them.”

Fang Ze smiled, but he didn’t expose Wang Hao. Instead, he thanked him as he naturally put the oranges away in his drawer.

Wang Hao continued reading sullenly, as if he hadn’t heard Fang Ze.

Fang Ze didn’t mind either. He stretched and saw it was getting late. Then, he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he washed up, he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that someone was spying on him.

However, when he turned his head to check, he didn’t find anything unusual.

His gaze lingered on the door and the corners of the toilet. Fang Ze frowned and turned back.

“Is it an illusion?”

“Is it like suspecting a ghost behind me in the middle of the night?”

After putting the blame on the psychological effects from his previous life, Fang Ze shook his head and continued to wash up.

After washing up, Fang Ze returned to his room.

Wang Hao was still sitting in the light, reading in silence, as if he had never moved.

Seeing this, Fang Ze didn’t say anything. He just climbed into bed, covered himself with the blanket, and prepared to sleep.

After two seconds, Wang Hao glanced over at him. Seeing that Fang Ze was going to sleep, he silently put a pagemark in the book, closed it, and turned off the light.

Fang Ze, who was lying on the pillow, couldn’t help but smile. Actually, this guy was also a good person…

Well, of course, compared to the other colleagues…

Solving the case consumed a lot of energy, so when he lay on the bed and felt the exhaustion in his body, Fang Ze quickly fell asleep.

In his dream, Fang Ze vaguely heard a voice telling him to run, run. There was also a voice telling him to keep up and not fall behind.

Fang Ze vaguely seemed to have dreamed of a red and black cloak. The cloak seemed to be dyed in blood and fluttered in the wind, making it sound like a horn from a new era.

After some time, the dream slowly calmed, but Fang Ze felt himself getting hotter and hotter. He felt hot all over.

In the end, he couldn’t help but jerk awake.

However, when he woke up, he was stunned.

This was because… he realized that he wasn’t in his temporary residence. Instead, he was in an empty dark room…
