I will be a boss in the future world

NPC system, somewhere in the entertainment area of ​​Babylon, the city in the sky.

In the endless darkness, it seemed as if one was tightly shrouded by a pair of invisible hands, making it hard to breathe.

However, in this dark world, the figure of a man was slowly turning into countless fragments, gradually dissipating, and finally disappearing into the air.

And where the fragments disappeared, there was still a hand flashing with electric light. This hand emitted a faint light, as if trying to maintain a certain balance.

The fingertips slowly tightened, as if grasping something.

As his fingers tightened, a dazzling white light reappeared in the center of his palm. This white light was so pure that even the surrounding darkness could not conceal its brilliance.

Finally, the hand clenched hard, grasped the white light tightly in its hand, and slowly pressed it into its chest.

As the white light blended in, the hand gradually lost its luster.

Xiao Qi slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again. His face was expressionless, but his eyes shone with a strange blue light. His fair face was covered with a layer of creepy coldness, and his dark eyes were even colder and sharper.

"Wait for me, Yuying..."

He murmured persistently, "Once I continue to upgrade my permissions and can access the core terminal of the NPC system, I will be able to find a way to possess a body."

NPC virtual system control room——

[Latest system news, regional administrator AI-TS02 suddenly lost connection with the system. ]

[There was nothing unusual before the loss of contact, and there were no clues after the loss of contact. ]

[Do I need to report this to the relevant SDA department for investigation? ]

Someone's angry voice: "Another one is missing?"

"What's going on! Are these replicas made of foam?!"

"How can it just disappear like that? And there's no clue at all!?"

[Do I need to report this to the relevant SDA department for investigation? ]

The man was silent for a moment, frowned and said, "Wait a minute!"

His eyes were looking straight into the void, as sharp as a sword, as if he was staring at someone without blinking. Then he slowly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Speaking of SDA, I remember something very interesting."

"NPC, help me retrieve the data of all female police officers in SDA."

The man's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Then compare the facial information with the image sent back by AI-TS03."

"Find me a woman who looks exactly like me."

"besides……"

"Help me check for a person named Xiao Qi, he should be related to her."

[Sorry, the SDA system does not have the relevant personnel information you are looking for. ]

The man was shocked: "No!?"

[It is possible that some special police officers have not logged into the system. ]

"What about Xiao Qi?"

[In the NPC system, there are as many users with the nickname Xiaoqi as possible. ]

【Please provide more information for specific enquiries. 】

"..."

The man frowned deeply, and after a while he sighed with an ambiguous tone.

"Forget it, it seems that SDA deliberately concealed her information."

"I'd better go to SDA in person when I have time."

In the Security Bureau office building, in the director's office on the top floor.

Tan Suhe was sitting at his desk with a frown on his face, flipping through the information that Xue Jian had just reported, his eyes focused and serious.

His fingers gently turned the papers, reading each page carefully, not missing any details.

"Are you sure everything is here... Have you checked everything for me?"

Tan Suhe's voice was low and powerful, revealing a kind of majesty and decisiveness. He raised his eyes from the information and looked directly at Xue Jian in front of him, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Xue Jian stood straight with his hands hanging by his sides and a serious expression. He knew that Tan Suhe attached great importance to this matter, so he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

He took a deep breath and answered solemnly, "Yes, since they started school and had records, all the information is here."

"They were probably street kids before and had never been to a social welfare agency. Both of them only had social identity records since high school, so their information before that is almost impossible to find."

Tan Suhe nodded slightly, indicating that she recognized Xue Jian's efforts, but she did not let her guard down, but continued to ask questions.

He lightly tapped the avatar on the screen and said, "This time source doesn't look simple."

"A genius computer prodigy with a very high IQ. No wonder he became a hacker."

There was silence in the office for a moment, and then Tan Suhe asked again, "Where's their parents' information? Haven't you found it yet?"

Xue Jian shook his head: "Sorry, not yet."

He continued, "But we are currently looking for their family tree and bloodline through DNA comparison. Since the amount of data is so huge, it may take some time."

Tan Suhe's eyebrows twitched and he let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

“There was no information before high school…”

"Two children, wandering around Anos into their teens, but leaving no trace."

"Excluding the deliberate erasure of the data, there is only one possibility."

"They didn't even live in Anos before."

Xue Jian silently widened his eyes in surprise: "......!!!"

"Otherwise, whether it's transportation or food shopping, without identity registration, they can't move a step, how can they survive?"

"You mean..."

"The identities of these two people are really suspicious. Keep investigating."

His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he thought for a while before continuing, "Especially Wen Yuying...her special abilities are definitely not something that ordinary people can possess."

"There are also problems with her memory and self-awareness. There are too many doubts."

"I always feel that it has something to do with that Shi Yuan. He must know something."

His voice was not loud and his tone could even be described as gentle, but there were long intervals between each sentence, with long silences in between, like some kind of wordless confrontation, making the atmosphere more and more tense, and finally there seemed to be some subtle hum in the air.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xue Jian hesitated and said, "Then...do you need me to arrest him and bring him to the police station for interrogation?"

Tan Suhe calmly drank a sip of tea: "No need."

"It would only alert the enemy if we don't have any clues. There's no need to do that."

"And our goal is just to eliminate hidden dangers."

"remember……"

He glanced at the computer on the table.

"Maintaining the balance between the NPC system and the real world is what we should do most."
