American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Qi Shan activated Time Reversal without hesitation, and the time of the entire world returned to three minutes prior once again.

He calmly held his teacup, slowly taking sips, and paid no attention to the actions of the others.

The whipping of Xin Zuo Li by Big Brother Li was presented before his eyes again and again, but Qi Shan had no intention of interrogating him.

Each time the time was about to run out, Qi Shan would activate Time Reversal without hesitation, and time would rewind, second by second.

However, he didn't go home, but instead went to the north side of Bei Village, which was the location where the prisoner had mysteriously disappeared.

The escort officer was not stupid either, knowing the rule that corpses don't leave their place of death. Although the case had not yet developed to this point, losing a criminal designated by the imperial court was a matter that deserved the utmost importance.

The escort carriage was definitely still at the original location, guarded by a large number of yamen runners or militiamen, while the original escort team had all been sent to the county yamen to await interrogation.

After realizing that he could really reverse time, Qi Shan felt enlightened. He was no longer as cautious as before. Along the way, he wanted to touch everything he saw and look at anything that seemed interesting.

Although in this ancient world, the power of mystery did not often appear before the public, legends and tales of gods and ghosts were widely spread among the people.

One could often hear some big mouths recounting strange events, describing them vividly as if they had witnessed them with their own eyes.

Normally, Qi Shan didn't pay much attention, after all, his goal was to find a proper sect to cultivate immortality, but unfortunately, his body was not up to par, and he was only about 10 years old. Moreover, his parents were watching him closely, so it was almost impossible to go out and become a wandering Taoist.

Having the ability to reverse time, he should be able to fool around a little.

But he still needed to plan a little about what to do specifically.

Qi Shan held a large apple in his hand, munching on it as he leisurely walked towards the northern suburbs.

This world was a bit strange, with a wide variety of species and an abundance of resources that was unbelievable. In the market, one could often see vegetables and fruits that would only appear in later generations being sold.

If this was really the Song Dynasty, then apples would not be possible, but Qi Shan could buy apples on the street. Not only that, but he could also buy pineapples, cantaloupe, and even mangoes.

When he was young, this phenomenon had puzzled Qi Shan, and he had specifically asked people about it, but the final answer only pointed to a place called the July Trading Company.

And everyone seemed to take this kind of life for granted, and no one expressed any curiosity.

Qi Shan was a little unwilling, but he directly gave up when he found avocados in the vegetable market.

He simply regarded this world as an alternate world and no longer dwelled on these trivial details.

After walking for about 30 minutes, the surrounding scenery was always like a cassette tape, constantly repeating itself.

Although he was always moving, Qi Shan still felt like he was walking through a painting, which felt very strange.

After arriving at his destination, he indeed saw several soldiers listlessly guarding a barren land.

Without a doubt, this was the scene of last night's incident. Qi Shan walked straight over.

The yamen runners guarding the area initially didn't pay any attention, but when they saw Qi Shan coming straight towards them, they couldn't help but stand up and scold him, "Hey kid, don't come close! The county yamen is handling official business, idlers keep away!"

Qi Shan turned a deaf ear and continued to carefully examine the surrounding terrain.

Seeing that Qi Shan ignored him, the yamen runner's eyebrows immediately shot up. Just as he was about to get angry, his colleague next to him suddenly pulled him back and said, "What are you doing? Don't you see who this young master is? Don't just lose your temper."

"Who the heck is this kid? Acting so important?"

"This is the eldest son of the school director. He often comes and goes in the county yamen. Have you forgotten? The case of the Wang family's lady mysteriously disappearing a while ago was solved by this young master. He just went to the Wang family and looked around, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he directly determined that the lady was not mysteriously missing, but was killed by Master Wang himself."

The yamen runner was shocked and suddenly remembered the story that had been widely circulated some time ago. When he looked at Qi Shan again, his expression immediately changed.

He squeezed out a smile and was about to greet him when the world suddenly surged with wind and clouds, and time returned to three minutes prior once again.

The two yamen runners went from being alert to lying directly on the ground, drowsily dozing off, without even opening their eyes.

Qi Shan simply ignored the others and carefully observed the ground.

Soon, he found a place where the wheel tracks were deepest. Looking at the surrounding chaotic traces and the obvious bonfire marks, it was clear that the escorting officers and soldiers had rested here. They were preparing to rest for a while and continue on their way when the escorted prisoner suddenly turned into a white fox, which led to the subsequent events.

Qi Shan carefully observed for a while. Sure enough, he found a small fox paw print on the nearby ground.

The distance was very far, about two meters away.

Qi Shan looked up at the tree trunk and found a scratch mark above.

Could it be that it jumped down from here?

Qi Shan was a little puzzled. It was normal for wild animals to appear in the deep mountains and old forests, especially in such a world. It wouldn't be surprising even if there were monsters, but Qi Shan didn't know much about trace evidence. If he could communicate with the little universe in his body and take out more advanced instruments, he could analyze all the surrounding substances in minutes. Alice could even re-calculate what happened at that time.

Unfortunately, all the abilities cannot be used now.

Then he could only use stupid methods!

The whole thing really had the shadow of a fox, but whether it was directed by someone or the fox fairy wanted to save people on its own, it was unknown.

Qi Shan didn't stay too long. He wandered around, didn't find any more suspicious clues, and went straight back to Bei Village. He found some valuable food in the back kitchen of a restaurant and enjoyed it, then went straight back to the county yamen.

In the eyes of others, he actually never left, and had been slowly drinking tea. No one knew that he had gone out for a walk, eaten a full meal, and was now drinking tea to digest.
