My Endless Life

"Why is it you!!?"

The next day, in the temporary office opened by Bureau 057 in the city government, Zhao Chenghu made a cry of surprise.

Next to Zhao Chenghu, assistant Meng Xiaolin also looked at the child who pushed in the door with wide eyes:

"Little brother Meng An, why are you here?"

"Please call me Consultant Meng."

Li Qi looked indifferent and pointed to the consultant medal on his chest.

Then he smiled and stretched out his young and immature palm to Zhao Chenghu:

"Please give me your advice in the future, Captain Zhao."

"Gu...consultant...?"

Meng Xiaolin, the female team member next to Zhao Chenghu, couldn't understand what was going on for a while. Her dazed and confused eyes turned to Zhao Chenghu, seeming to ask what the situation was.

Zhao Chenghu finally understood at this moment what the officer meant by what he said to him yesterday, and he sighed:

"Xiao Lin, pour tea for Meng An... ahem, Consultant Meng. From today on, he will be our consultant responsible for collecting rare objects in Suhe City."

"ah?"

Upon hearing Zhao Chenghu's words, Meng Xiaolin's eyes were as big as light bulbs.

She looked left and right at her captain's face for a long time, as if to confirm whether he was joking.

But in the end, seeing Zhao Chenghu's serious look, she knew it was no joke.

Meng An, who is only nine years old, oh no, he will be ten years old after the Chinese New Year, has really become the 057 Bureau consultant in Suhe City!

Suspicious, confused, and unbelievable, Meng Xiaolin went to prepare hot water for tea for the two of them.

Zhao Chenghu looked at Li Qi who was sitting in front of his desk, almost completely blocked by the desk, and asked in a low voice:

"What's going on? Didn't you say you wouldn't join us?"

"I changed my mind."

Li Qi said so casually that Zhao Chenghu didn't know what to ask next.

Smiling softly, Li Qi continued: "I am very satisfied with the conditions that the officer gave me, so I came here. He should have told you about the authority I have."

"..." Zhao Chenghu was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "As I mentioned, you are not subject to our orders, you only listen to the orders of those in the bureau, and you will not take action unless necessary, only when you encounter trouble that you cannot handle. , you will take action, and..."

Having said this, Zhao Chenghu frowned deeply and said in confusion about the next instruction:

"...Moreover, we need to prepare a corresponding price when you take action... What does this mean? Is this the price of the rare item you use?"

"Just treat it like this."

The last condition was prepared for Li Qi's artificial human body.

This is a condition that cannot be changed, and it is also the price of 'using' him, so it is counted in the condition column.

At this point, things are clear.

The 'negotiation' between Zhao Hong and Li Qi that day was not fruitless in the end.

Zhao Hong used Zhang Fengyun's story as a bargaining chip, and after a series of "unequal treaties", he successfully allowed Li Qi to join the 057 game.

But Li Qi's condition was that after entering the bureau, he would not receive any form of training or education, and would only enter as a consultant.

He also does not accept any mandatory orders from above. He can guarantee that as long as no one in the bureau will be disadvantageous to him, he will not betray Bureau 057.

To be honest, it is basically impossible for any government department to accept such an order.

But when Zhao Hong negotiated with his superiors, he got permission from his superiors.

According to the old director's original words, 'As long as that kid is willing to help, won't betray, and won't do anything inappropriate, then he can do whatever he wants.'

Because of this, Li Qi joined Bureau 057 and became their special consultant.

Of course, another reason is that Li Qi had a conversation with the old director. He had a pretty good sense of the old director. For the sake of the old director, it was not impossible to help Bureau 057 with some help.

After hearing what Li Qi said, Zhao Chenghu rubbed his cheeks with both hands and was speechless for a moment.

But no matter what, since the other party agreed to help, Zhao Chenghu couldn't just let the other party leave. Besides, he didn't have the power to let the other party leave.

So after taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Chenghu began to discuss business with Li Qi seriously:

"Then this time, do you have any way to deal with the rare item holders in Suhe City?"

"Of course, I even...I prepared a few gifts for you."

Li Qi's smile deepened.

Coupled with his immature face that has not yet grown, it actually looks a bit cute.

But looking at this cute smile, Zhao Chenghu felt a chill go down his spine, and an ominous premonition arose from the bottom of his heart.

He always felt that the 'gift' Li Qi mentioned... was not a good gift.

…

Zhao Chenghu hoped for the first time that his premonition was not so accurate.

On the roof of the temporary office of Bureau 057, in the empty training room converted from a conference room, Zhao Chenghu saw the 'gift' given to him by Li Qi.

Those were two girls.

One person was wearing a Gothic lolita costume and had eye patches on her eyes for some reason. She was meditating hard in the magic circle she drew, looking very serious.

The other person wears thick glasses and looks quite well-behaved, but now she is swaying in an independent posture like a golden rooster, as if she is practicing something.

Standing at the door, Zhao Chenghu looked at the two girls in the room and hesitated to speak. He turned to Li Qi and asked:

"They are..."

"..."

Unexpectedly, Li Qi couldn't help but fell silent when he saw the scene in front of him. He ignored Zhao Chenghu, but walked up to Xu Leying and asked:

"What are you doing?"

"Ah? Xiao Yicheng said that this will help me control my magic power...ah...!"

Before Xu Leying could finish her words, probably because her balance was not very good, she finally leaned forward and fell directly in front of Li Qi.

Li Qi stepped aside in advance and looked at Xu Leying, who had fallen hard and was fixing her glasses that had fallen off, quite speechless:

"Do you also listen to what she says?"

"It hurts, it hurts...what? Can't you listen?"

Xu Leying, who stood up from the ground while rubbing her waist in pain, asked doubtfully.

Li Qi pointed at Yi Cheng, who was meditating with her eyes closed, and said helplessly: "She has chuunibyou, can't you see it?"

"???"

Xu Leying's head was instantly filled with question marks.

It seems that Yi Cheng has been performing very well since yesterday and failed to make Xu Leying realize that she is a chuunibyou patient.

However, there may be a reason why Yi Cheng's performance was too unusual. In the nightmare space, her attack only looked at the light and shadow without looking at the effect. It was really shocking and awe-inspiring.

Let Xu Leying 'return to normal', Li Qi then turned to Zhao Chenghu and said:

"I think you should know these two people."

"Um?"

Zhao Chenghu, who was watching the show, was slightly surprised when Li Qi said this.

He looked at the two people again, and after repeatedly confirming their appearance, he said in surprise:

"Are they holders of rare items?"

"Didn't Zhao Hong give you the file information? Why, didn't you recognize it?"

"There is a big difference between the ID photo and their original appearance..."

Zhao Chenghu explained awkwardly.

Li Qi suddenly realized what he said and expressed his understanding.

As we all know, the person in the ID photo is completely different from me, so it is understandable that Zhao Chenghu failed to recognize him at a glance.

Li Qi stopped talking about this matter and introduced to Zhao Chenghu:

"Yicheng, possesses the rare item [Magic Book of Ten Thousand Curses], and his ability is to cast imaginary magic. The price is that he will become a second-rate man, and it cannot be reversed."

"I see……"

After hearing this, Zhao Chenghu understood Yi Cheng's behavior at the moment. He looked at Yi Cheng with pity, probably because he sympathized with the girl who became mentally disturbed due to the strange object.

Seeing his sympathetic look, Li Qi decided not to reveal the fact that Yi Cheng was already in the second grade, and turned around to introduce the next person.

"Xu Leying, holds a rare item [Magic Necklace], and has the ability to become a magical girl. The price..."

Li Qi became silent when he heard this, and said quietly:

"...The price is that every time you use the necklace to transform, a nightmare space will be randomly created."

"Nightmare Space?"

Zhao Chenghu promptly expressed his doubts about the sudden appearance of the term.

Li Qi explained: "What trapped the heating plant yesterday was the nightmare space, where the strength of the magical girl will be increased to the maximum, but correspondingly, there will also be enemies that only magical girls... and some special people can deal with. Nightmare ”

After examining the love necklace all night, Li Qi had a rough understanding of the power and price of the love necklace.

The ability of the love necklace is to allow people who have fantasies about magical girls to transform into magical girls.

The 'people' here don't just refer to girls. Anyone who has a fantasy about magical girls, regardless of gender, old or young, has the possibility of transforming into a magical girl as long as they come into contact with the necklace.

After transformation, the transformer's abilities will be related to his or her own beautiful qualities.

Love, hope, courage, innocence...etc., the more beautiful qualities you have, the greater the magic power you can cast after transformation.

But the price is that every transformation will lead to the birth of the nightmare space.

The nightmare space, as you can tell from the name, is a space with 'dreams' as its main body.

People's negative thoughts, jealousy, disgust, violence, greed... and other thoughts gathered together to form the nightmare space that Li Qi saw yesterday.

In the nightmare space, there will be a special subject who is also the core of the nightmare space. This special subject is one of the causes of the nightmare space. All the victims wrapped in the nightmare space will have their negative emotions gathered together and become The power of 'core'.

The core is a person's spirit, including the shadow monsters Li Qi saw yesterday. Their main subjects are the 'negative emotions' of the victims trapped there.

The good news is that because it is a 'dream' after all, the victims who turn into shadows will not die completely no matter what.

The bad news is that victims who stumble into the nightmare space that has already taken shape do not have similar privileges.

If the nightmare space has been formed and someone enters it and is injured or even dies, it will be real injury and death, without any exception.

Such is the power and price of Xu Leying's magical girl necklace.

Li Qi hasn't told her the price of using magic, he just told her not to transform unless necessary.

At least as long as you don't transform, there won't be a nightmare space.

She can also use some basic magic.
