Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 16 Do you know how to wear this tail?

"Can you see clearly?" A hand slowly waved in front of Bai Chi's eyes.

"Okay." Bai Chi nodded.

Is it clear?

“I know very well.” Bai Chi nodded again, and perhaps to convince the other party, he added, “There is black dirt under your index fingernail.”

"Oh, I see." The doctor withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly. "Alright, Officer Bai Chi, your head is not injured."

"Thank you." Bai Chi nodded slightly. "You've proven that there's nothing wrong with my head."

The doctor felt that Bai Chi was being sarcastic, yet Bai Chi's eyes were full of sincerity, leaving him somewhat puzzled. Fortunately, there were still many injured people at the scene who needed his help, so he was able to take his leave.

As soon as the doctor left, Xia Tian, ​​who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over and anxiously asked, "Senior, are you really alright? Perhaps you should go to the hospital for a checkup..."

"Cough cough."

Director Lei Hu, who was standing behind Xia Tian, ​​coughed twice before Xia Tian came to her senses. She then obediently stood aside and said, "Director, please go first."

Lei Hu looked at Xia Tian, ​​who seemed a little uneasy, and shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything. Instead, he went to Bai Chi and said, "Bai Chi, this time you..."

Lei Hu initially wanted to be more friendly, but then he remembered that his relationship with Bai Chi wasn't that good, or rather, he didn't have a good relationship with anyone in the entire branch office. It would be too awkward to be friendly so abruptly. He then thought of saying something polite, but then he remembered that Bai Chi was the kind of person who didn't understand polite words, so it would be pointless to say anything.

So after holding it in for a while, he finally managed to say, "Well done."

"Thank you, Director." Bai Chi nodded. "That's what I think too."

Lei Hu: "..."

Shouldn't I reply with "Thank you for your guidance" at this time?
This guy really is... well, considering how much he's accomplished, I won't hold it against him.

Lei Hu silently stepped back.

At this moment, Bai Chi was definitely the most imposing person present. His police uniform was soaked in blood, and his fists were covered with scabs. Combined with Ito Kou's battered and bruised appearance, anyone could imagine what kind of battle had taken place here.

An ordinary police officer beat a special criminal to death with his fists.

This sounds incredible, but incandescence also provides a reasonable explanation.

"Ito Kou can only control others, but he doesn't have any outstanding combat skills. As long as you find his location, you can take him down."

"There are nearly 150 people present, including Ito Kou. How did you manage to find Ito Kou among so many people?"

"It was really not easy. It took me a long time to find him hiding in the claw machine, and then I pulled him out."

"……It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"He didn't control those 150 people to attack you?"

“He did indeed do that.”

"how about you?"

“I didn’t care about all that. He manipulated others to attack me, so I attacked him.”

"and then?"

"Then I beat him to death."

"..."

This conversation took place ten minutes earlier. The officer in charge of the questioning wanted to raise questions, but seeing Bai Chi's fists that looked like they had been soaked in blood for three days and three nights, he held back. Then, he politely asked Bai Chi to submit a report after everything was over, and ended the questioning.

After all, although there are many doubts about this statement, it is generally plausible. Moreover, so many reporters have captured the scene of Bai Chi knocking Ito Kou off the fourth floor. At this point, it would not be a wise choice to keep digging into the details.

Rewinding to the present, seeing that Director Lei Hu had also stepped aside and that none of the other colleagues seemed inclined to chat with Bai Chi, Xia Tian felt it was her turn, so she immediately stepped forward and started chattering away.

When the colleagues at the Hanguang Precinct saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel something deep inside them shatter.

What they didn't know was that although Bai Chi was talking to Xia Tian, ​​his attention was completely elsewhere.

His focus remained on the group of victims undergoing medical examinations at the far end of his peripheral vision.

Because Rurie is among them.

At this moment, Ruri was no longer wearing the eye-catching police coat that Bai Chi had worn, but rather a "pieced-together coat" cobbled together from various victims.

Because Ito Kou's special abilities cause significant side effects to the victims, they cannot recall the scenes when they were controlled, only feeling as if they had a long and terrible dream. As a result, they suffer from mental exhaustion for a long time after waking up. During this time, they naturally do not realize that they are missing one or two pieces of clothing. Ruri E was thus able to take advantage of the situation.

As the police prepared to take the victims to the hospital for further examination, Ruri slipped away from the group and became one of the many onlookers outside the police line.

Seeing this, Bai Chi finally felt relieved.

At least in terms of her ability to escape, Ruri is quite outstanding.

"Oh, right." Xia Tian suddenly remembered something, "Senior, you should prepare for the interview."

"Interview? What interview?"

“Of course it’s a reporter interview,” Xia Tian said with a smile. “Didn’t you see? There were a lot of reporters downstairs. They filmed the whole scene of you knocking Ito Kou down the stairs, and now they’re waiting outside to interview you.”

Interview?

Bai Chi frowned; he had no desire to give any interviews.

Before he could speak, a rather familiar male voice came from the side.

"If it's a reporter, I've already turned it down for you, Officer Bai Chi."

Bai Chi turned his head and saw that it was Zhong Ji from the Special Science Department, whom he had seen last night.

At this moment, Zhongji was smiling at Bai Chi, but there was not much warmth in that smile: "It is the duty of police officers to catch fugitives. Any police officer here would do the same, wouldn't you say, Officer Bai Chi?"

cancelled?
Why was it suddenly canceled?!
Upon hearing this news, Xia Tian immediately became anxious. Regardless of the vast difference in status and position between herself and Zhong Ji, she instinctively wanted to speak out for Bai Chi.

But Bai Chi spoke first: "You're right."

Xia Tian stared at Bai Chi in astonishment, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

“I knew you thought the same thing,” Zhongji said with a smile. “Besides, I was concerned that leaking police officers’ information could easily lead to retaliation from criminals, so I ordered those reporters to delete the photos and blur out your job information. Trust me, Officer Bai Chi, no criminal will come after you because of what happened today.”

The photos were deleted too?!
Summer was truly getting angry; her not-so-impressive chest involuntarily swelled up.

But Bai Chi answered before she could speak: "That would be perfect."

Her bulging chest deflated instantly.

"It's good that you understand." Zhongji nodded slightly. "Of course, your contribution cannot be erased. You killed fugitive criminals for two consecutive days, and you even killed special individuals as ordinary people. I think the entire police system in City C will soon know your name."

Bai Chi nodded: "Of course."

“…It’s only right?” Bai Chi’s answer made Zhong Ji pause for a moment, but he quickly smiled again. “Yes, it is indeed only right. Oh, I heard that you met Ito Kou on your way to headquarters. It seems that headquarters will have to reconsider your commendation. A first-class merit is no longer enough to recognize your current contributions.”

Bai Chi nodded again: "That's true."

Song Joong-ki's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.

“In that case, I’ll wait for you at headquarters.” Zhongji extended his hand and shook hands with Bai Chi. “Thanks to you, I’ve already made two trips to Hanguang District, but I haven’t done anything. Ah, I’m not complaining, I’m expressing my gratitude. After all, no one would not want to have less burden on their shoulders.”

After saying this, Zhongji turned and left without waiting for Bai Chi's reply.

But before he could take a few steps, he remembered something and turned back to look at Bai Chi: "By the way, are you interested in joining the Special Science Department?" Special Science Department?
Hearing this, Xia Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment.

“I have no special abilities,” Bai Chi said.

“You don’t actually have any special abilities, but you’ve solved our problems for two days in a row. I believe it’s more than just luck,” Zhongji said with a smile. “Maybe you really do have some unique abilities? Think about it. The benefits in our Special Abilities Department are quite good. If you’re willing, just come to the Special Abilities Department and find me.”

After saying this, Song Joong-ki left without lingering.

After Song-ki left, Xia Tian immediately asked, "Senior, are you going to the Special Sciences Department?"

Summer's tone betrayed a hint of nervousness, though she herself was unaware of it.

Then she received a look from Bai Chi that seemed to say, "I'm not a special person, what would I be doing in the Special Subjects Department?"

"But he said..."

“I am not a special person,” Bai Chi repeated.

"Oh, okay, alright." For some reason, Xia Tian felt a little relieved after receiving Bai Chi's reply. "Indeed, it's a bit difficult for ordinary people to mingle with people with special abilities. It's better to... Ah, that guy got rid of all the reporters, otherwise you would be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow!"

Summer started to feel indignant again.

Bai Chi shook his head: "That kind of thing is meaningless."

How could it be meaningless? This is a tremendous achievement, something many police officers in different districts would kill for.

Without this, even if Bai Chi and she were the top students who ranked first and second in the police academy entrance exam, they would only be able to work as junior police officers in a remote branch office.

Of course, being a junior police officer wasn't so bad for Xia Tian. But she still felt indignant for Bai Chi. She felt that Bai Chi should go to headquarters, to a wider world, so that his talent wouldn't be wasted.

Otherwise, wouldn't I be stuck in this branch office as a lowly police officer for the rest of my life, just like her?

Hey?
...to spend one's whole life...just like her?
Suddenly, the image of her being pushed out of the arcade flashed into Bai Chi's mind.

Summer's face suddenly turned red.

What are you thinking about, Summer?! We're talking about serious matters right now.

Bai Chi had no idea what Xia Tian was thinking, but he himself was thinking about something else entirely.

Yes, what benefits can these two achievements bring him?

Promotion and salary increase?

Bai Chi thought about it and felt that whether or not he got a raise didn't matter, as he didn't have much need for money, but whether or not he got a promotion was still very important.

The higher the level, the more information they have access to, and the more likely they are to uncover the truth of what happened back then.

It seems he really deserves a promotion.

Without further ado, let's go to the General Administration to collect the award now.

Thinking of this, Bai Chi immediately got up and left.

"Hey, senior, where are you going?"

"The General Administration."

"Oh? You're going now? Shouldn't you go back and rest first?"

Bai Chi waved his hand without turning his head. Xia Tian subconsciously wanted to follow him, but because there was still a lot of cleanup work to be done, she could only watch Bai Chi leave helplessly.

Bai Chi hadn't walked two steps after leaving the arcade when he saw Liu Li Hui standing in front of a fast food restaurant, staring longingly at the hamburger flyer on the door.

Bai Chi walked up to her, looked at her, and then looked at the flyer.

Didn't you eat before you left?

Liuli, who was too engrossed in her own world, was startled. She relaxed when she realized it was Bai Chi, but her expression immediately turned sour when she thought of Bai Chi's question: "Do you have any food at home?"

"Didn't I leave you three boxes of noodles?" Bai Chi asked in confusion. "You don't know how to eat them? You can eat them as long as you boil water."

Do you think I'm an idiot?
Ruri's lips twitched slightly, suppressing the urge to retort, and she said, "I want to eat something else."

"No other brand of spicy chicken noodles tastes as good as this."

"...Can we skip the noodles?"

"It seems there's no turkey rice available at the moment."

Ruri took several deep breaths before she managed to suppress the urge to lash out.

She had realized that beating around the bush was of no use to Bai Chi, not even the simplest bend.

So she pointed to the hamburger on the flyer: "I want to eat this."

How do you eat a flyer?

Ruri-e: "?"

"Just kidding," Bai Chi said. "But this shop probably won't open until tomorrow. Let me take you to another one."

Wow, this guy can actually joke around?!
Ruri felt this was even more shocking than when Bai Chi asked her how to eat the brochure.

Bai Chi recalled something he'd seen somewhere: a well-placed joke could quickly bridge the gap between two people.

If the relationship gets closer, won't the synchronization rate increase?

As for whether it works or not... Ruri was stunned. It should be effective, right?

"What's wrong?" Bai Chi turned to look at Liu Li Hui. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Eat!" Liuli Hui immediately followed Bai Chi, but after taking a few steps, she remembered something. "Oh right, I threw away the clothes you bought."

"Those clothes?"

"Those are the ones you sent back by courier, the ones I was told to wear," Ruri said with a dark face. "I've already thrown them all away."

Ruri felt those clothes were utterly absurd. Not only did they offer no coverage or warmth, but they also made her feel chilly, as if she were better off not wearing anything at all. Ruri was so afraid to go out without wearing that coat that she didn't dare.

Anyway, she never wanted to wear those clothes again, and she was afraid that Bai Chi would make her continue to wear them, so she simply said she would throw them away.

But in fact, she didn't throw it away. She rolled it up and put it in her pocket. After all, Bai Chi had paid for it, so she didn't dare to just throw it away. She wanted to test Bai Chi's reaction.

If Bai Chi gets angry, she immediately takes out the clothes.

If you don't have it, then just consider it lost.

"If it's lost, it's lost." Bai Chi naturally wouldn't care about such things, but he was indeed very curious as to why Xia Tian would buy those kinds of clothes for Liu Li Hui.

So that's the style she likes?

It looks quite refreshing.

Seeing that Bai Chi wasn't angry, Liu Li Hui breathed a slight sigh of relief. After hesitating for a while, she took out something else from her pocket.

A furry fox tail.

“I didn’t lose this.” Ruri held up the fox tail in front of Bai Chi and asked curiously, “I think it’s quite pretty, but I don’t know how to wear it, do you know?”
