The calendar itself wasn't anything special. What caught Li Chenqiu's attention was the 16th on the calendar, which had been circled with a pen.

"April 16th?" Li Chenqiu murmured to himself.

Just then, a series of hurried and fragmented footsteps came from the stairs outside, approaching the room where Li Chenqiu was.

When he broke into the room, he didn't control the noise he made, so naturally, the security personnel upstairs heard it.

Li Chenqiu calmly picked up the calendar, walked to the window, and accurately threw it into the trash can downstairs.

Click!

Just then, the door was kicked open, and bright white light illuminated the entire room. The security personnel walked in warily, holding their guns.

Wu Shan looked at Li Chenqiu, who was standing in front of the window in a daze, and called out to him, "Li Chenqiu, what's going on? Explain yourself!"

Li Chenqiu turned around and said helplessly, "It's a long story, but I'll make it short. Ever since I became a Chosen One, my sixth sense has become very accurate.

Just now, when I was buying something to eat at the snack stand, I suddenly felt a very uncomfortable gaze fixed on me, so I broke into your room through the window. But obviously, I was wrong. The person staring at me should be on the fourth floor. He's already run away."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes.

"Did you offend someone?" Zhu Cheng glanced at the cigarette butts on the table.

"I don't know, that's why I'm curious as to why someone would be staring at me." Li Chenqiu shook his head and looked at the cigarette butts, saying, "The other person's DNA should be detectable on these."

"To leave cigarette butts here, this person's genes have probably already changed. The person staring at you might be one of those more special people." Wu Shan walked to the window and looked downstairs.

Humans' genes will mutate no matter how they become a 'One Forbidden,' and Li Chenqiu naturally knew this.

"This is really unlucky. How could I be targeted for no reason?" Li Chenqiu feigned annoyance and sat down on the stool, looking at Wu Shan and continuing, "Uncle, was my behavior just now illegal?"

"The Chosen Ones are not under the jurisdiction of our Security Department. Whether or not a crime has been committed is up to the Special Abilities Department to decide," a female security officer said.

"Then, will I have to go to the Special Abilities Department jail?" Li Chenqiu put on an uneasy look.

"No one will report it if no one files a case." Wu Shan turned around and stared at Li Chenqiu, saying, "If you're really innocent, we naturally won't file a case."

"What do you mean?" Li Chenqiu frowned slightly.

"Since you're a Chosen One, why haven't you registered with the Special Abilities Department? Or is it inconvenient to register? Do you have any connection with the multiple missing person cases that have occurred within this month?" Wu Shan questioned.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room raised their guns and pointed them at Li Chenqiu.

"Missing person cases?" Li Chenqiu suddenly realized that these security officers were here because of this matter.

"What's wrong? Do you think you're not afraid of bullets just because you're a Chosen One?" Wu Shan shouted coldly.

Li Chenqiu said with a wry smile, "The reason I didn't register is because I only recently became a Chosen One and didn't have time. As for the missing person cases, they have nothing to do with me."

"Your home..."

Just as Wu Shan was about to say something, the walkie-talkie on his chest emitted a burst of static, and then a voice came from inside: "The criminal suspect has been arrested on Dongping Street. Team, return!"

For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence. The security officers looked at each other, their hands holding their guns fluctuating, unsure whether to put them down.

"Keep him under control. I'll go ask."

Wu Shan instructed the others, then walked into the restroom alone.

A few minutes later, Wu Shan came out of the restroom and waved his hand at the others: "Put them down."

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, put away their guns, and stepped aside.

"I'm sorry, since there are more and more Resurrected in the city, the Security Department's mortality rate is also getting higher and higher. Being overly cautious is the only way. I'm sorry."

Wu Shan walked up to Li Chenqiu and bowed his head in apology.

This action surprised Li Chenqiu slightly. He didn't expect the people in the Security Department to be so nice.

If this were the Special Abilities Department, they probably wouldn't even verify with the higher-ups, let alone apologize, and would just shoot him dead.

"It's okay." Li Chenqiu waved his hand, "It's normal to be cautious. If you encounter a Resurrected one day, you'll have a better chance of survival. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Wait, young brother, what's your phone number?" Wu Shan stopped Li Chenqiu, "We'll need to contact you with the DNA test results later."

Li Chenqiu nodded: "895..."

"Okay, the test results will probably be out tomorrow afternoon." Wu Shan put away his phone, "My people will contact you tomorrow morning and take you to register with the Special Abilities Department."

"Ah?" Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head: "No need to trouble yourselves, I'll register myself."

"This is not a trouble. Assisting the Chosen Ones with registration is the Security Department's duty."

Hearing this, although Li Chenqiu was unwilling in his heart, he still nodded in agreement.

...

...

After bidding farewell to the Security Department, Li Chenqiu carried Li Qingxia on his electric bike on the road.

"So, you're going to register with the Special Abilities Department tomorrow?" Li Qingxia hugged Li Chenqiu and said in shock.

"What else? Either pretend to be a Chosen One or run away. Anyone with half a brain knows what to choose!" Li Chenqiu said unhappily.

"Why aren't you more careful? A Resurrected person with the title of Chosen One, something bad will probably happen in the future!"

Li Chenqiu asked speechlessly, "I chose all the blind spots in the surveillance when climbing the building, and I used Absolute Control to change my fingerprints. What else can I do?"

"You should ask me if I saw it clearly."

Li Chenqiu: "..."

"By the way, do you know if anything big is happening on April 16th?" Li Chenqiu asked casually.

"April 16th?" Li Qingxia raised her head, as if thinking about something.

After a while, she said, "Oh, right, Beihuang Mountain has recently been recruiting a large number of daily-paid part-time workers. It seems like the working hours start from April 16th."

"Why are they recruiting a large number of daily-paid part-time workers?" Li Chenqiu asked.

"How would I know? They're probably holding some kind of large event!"

"What kind of part-time jobs?"

"Hey, you still have time to worry about this now? Think about how to explain it to the boss when you get back!" Li Qingxia gloated, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably.

As soon as these words came out, Li Chenqiu's scattered thoughts instantly returned to reality, and his face visibly darkened.

...

This is a cozy fried rice restaurant. Soft light shines through the glass door onto the wet and cold road, adding a bit of warmth to this sparsely populated street.

Several cats and dogs lay on the steps of the fried rice restaurant, licking each other's fur, slightly raising the temperature of the cold night air.

At this time, a beam of light shone on the door of the restaurant, and Li Chenqiu stopped his electric bike in front of the fried rice restaurant.

"Good luck to you!" Li Qingxia patted Li Chenqiu's shoulder with a smile, carrying a bag of grilled skewers and running into the restaurant.

After Li Chenqiu parked his electric bike, he walked to the door of the restaurant, took a deep breath, and then nervously pushed the door open.
