Quick Wear: About the Things I Saved from the Villain

Lu Yan has been very busy recently and has been busy all day long.

In recent years, major crimes have occurred frequently in G City, and each incident is more serious than the last. As the captain of the criminal police team of the G City Police Department, he can only compress the time and speed up the investigation.

The same is true today.

Lu Yan stretched, and when he realized that all the lights outside were turned off, he looked up at the time.

23:45

He finally had some clues in the case at hand, and it was worth it for him to spend two whole days in the police station.

It's time to go back and change clothes.

Lu Yan simply cleaned up the table, put on his coat and left the police station.

Because of the uncertain nature of his work, he rented a house near the police station and would go back there to stay for a while and change his clothes when there was a case.

It only takes more than ten minutes to walk back from the police station.

The nightlife of the people in City G is mostly concentrated in the east of the city. In the west of the city where the police station is located, you can basically see no one on the street after ten o'clock.

Lu Yan walked alone on the street. The street lights cast a long shadow, which made the scene seem even more lonely against the backdrop of the greenery on both sides where half of its leaves had fallen.

As he walked, he was going over the new clues he had obtained today and the suspects in his mind. When he turned the corner, he frowned and stopped.

Then, he turned into the alley next to him at lightning speed.

The alley was empty. Lu Yan leaned his back against the wall and listened carefully.

The autumn wind was blowing, bringing a cool breeze with it, and it blew through the big trees, causing the leaves to rustle. Apart from that, there were no unusual sounds, not the sound of footsteps that he thought...

Lu Yan waited for a while, but still didn't find anything wrong, so he could only leave the alley and continue walking back.

When he was almost in front of the trash can at the entrance of the community, he stopped again and took out the cigarette box and lighter from his trouser pocket.

The cigarette box was opened, revealing a single cigarette inside, but with a mirror on the inner lid of the box.

Lu Yan tilted the mirror in the cigarette box slightly while fiddling with the cigarette, and took in the general scene behind him, still finding nothing unusual.

Is he really overthinking it?

Lu Yan frowned.

From the moment he left the police station, he felt that someone was watching him, as if someone was following him, but no matter how he tried, there was no problem.

Lu Yan had no doubt that the other party was more capable than him.

The reason he became the captain of the criminal police team at such a young age was not just because of his face.

If it was retaliation from previously arrested criminals or their relatives, there was no way he would not have discovered it.

Could it be that he hasn't had enough rest recently and is hallucinating?

Lu Yan rubbed his brows, took out the last cigarette and put it to his lips. After the lighter had used up its last bit of gas, it finally died and was thrown into the trash can by him.

Lu Yan walked into the community with a cigarette in his mouth.

What he didn't know was that a slender figure appeared next to the empty trash can. She was wearing a white dress and had long fluttering hair. Upon closer inspection, her bare feet were not touching the ground, but were suspended in mid-air.

Tang Li looked in the direction of the community, thinking about the various tests Lu Yan had just made along the way, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

777 was shocked. [This villain is quite alert.]

Tang Li reminded, "Don't call him a villain. Calling him by his name is better than calling him a villain."

She thought it was fun to tease Lu Yan, but she also knew why he was so wary.

The word villain is an insult to him.

[Okay, okay, Lu Yan. ]

777 looked at the screen, [He has finished smoking and entered the elevator.]

【Um. 】

Tang Li followed the location given by 777 and floated directly to the sixth floor where Lu Yan was, squatting at his door without moving.

Perhaps the system also feels guilty. Her current ghost body can control real and virtual bodies at will, and can penetrate and touch real things.

It’s a pity that for the sake of world balance, she can’t show it in front of anyone other than Lu Yan, and only Lu Yan can see her. Otherwise, it would be nice to just float into Huo Ting’s house and scare him to death.

"Ding."

The elevator made a sound. Tang Li heard the sound and quickly buried his head in his legs. He curled up into a small ball.

When Lu Yan got out of the elevator, he subconsciously touched his arm and felt that it was particularly cold tonight.

But it’s still within the tolerable range. Maybe it’s because I didn’t get enough rest in the past two days and the cold air entered my body, he thought casually.

His scattered brows froze when he saw the black "thing" in front of his door.

The voice-controlled light was broken, and one could only barely make out in the dim light of the fire escape that it seemed to be a squatting person.

"Who?"

He stopped and several possibilities flashed through his mind.

Revenge against criminals?

No, if you want to attack him, you can just hide on both sides of the elevator and attack him the moment he gets out of the elevator, which will give you a better chance of success.

The apartment has two households per floor, and the house next to his is not rented out, so the possibility of a neighbor can be ruled out.

He ruled out other possibilities in an instant, leaving only the last and cruelest guess. After all, he didn't hear any other breathing sound besides his own in this small and quiet space...

Lu Yan frowned and his expression became more solemn.

He moved closer with light steps, and the black shadow seemed to become much clearer. Judging from the outline, it should be a girl.

He was so close to her, but she still didn't move. Lu Yan's heart slowly sank.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Finally, he stood in front of her and slowly reached his hand towards her head.

It's cold when you get it.

Sure enough, Lu Yan was filled with anger.

Placing a dead body in front of a criminal police officer's home is a blatant provocation to any police officer.

However, the anger on Lu Yan's face did not last for a few seconds before it turned into shock and astonishment.

For the first time, a "cracked" expression appeared on the face of the young and unruly Officer Lu.

Because the "corpses" under his command moved, and not only moved, but also made sounds.

"what?"

The soft female voice was mixed with doubt and surprise, "You, you can see..."

She was interrupted by Lu Yan. Two days of lack of sleep and extreme emotional ups and downs made his head ache slightly. There was uncontrollable sharpness and anger in his tone.

"Who are you? What are you doing squatting outside my house in the middle of the night?"

He actually wanted to ask why they were playing tricks so late at night, but when he thought that it was just a wrong judgment based on his experience, he swallowed the words back.

"me......"

The girl seemed frightened and didn't know where to start, and finally decided to answer Lu Yan's question first.

"I don't know who I am either... I, I didn't squat at your door on purpose."

She tried her best to answer sincerely, but to Lu Yan's ears, it sounded problematic.

He said it bluntly.

"You went to the police without knowing who it was. My house is not a police station. Also, you said you didn't squat outside my house on purpose?"

He spoke sarcastically and extended his hand to make a "please" gesture:

"How do you do 'not intentionally'? Can you show me how?"

"I, I, I'm sorry."

The girl's voice was full of helplessness, and even sounded a bit like crying.

"I was already here when I opened my eyes. I wanted to go somewhere else but I couldn't leave, so..."

Lu Yan has always been known as a poisonous-tongued devil in the criminal police team. Not only does he have a face full of hostility, but he also has a hard temper and a vicious mouth. Whenever there are family members making trouble, he can silence them instantly by just appearing and sitting next to them.

Of course, it is not good to be such a sour-faced person all the time when working as a criminal policeman. The director has reminded him to control his temper in front of the public, but he usually turns a blind eye.

Because Lu Yan is confident, or rather, his bad temper is only directed at those who are looking for trouble. As for the kind people, he will not say soft words but he will not have a sour face either.

So he felt a little regretful after he made the sarcastic remark just now.

Although the sudden appearance of the girl at the door was a bit strange, after all, she didn't do anything and was still a member of the public who needed protection. What he said was really a bit... venting his anger on others.

Lu Yan took a deep breath, trying to make his tone gentler and more patient. However, before he could utter the soothing words, after hearing the words "open your eyes and it's right here", the criminal police radar was quickly activated.

He asked in a deep voice.

"What do you mean you opened your eyes right here? Were you knocked out?"

"What do you mean you want to go somewhere else but can't get out? Is there someone outside watching you?"

There were too many and strange questions, so Lu Yan simply asked.

"Do you mind if I open the door and go in and talk?"

He took out his ID and waved it in front of her, then turned on his phone and held it next to him to record a video.

"Don't worry, I'm a police officer. I have no ill intentions. I will keep recording the video."

The girl then realized that she was squatting in front of his door and quickly stood up, "Sorry, sorry."

She stepped aside, watched Lu Yan open the door and go in, biting her lip lightly with some hesitation.

"Um, police officer, my situation seems to be a little special. Why don't you... take a look at the video on your phone first."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion, he really couldn't understand what her saying about the special situation had to do with the video. He stopped turning on the light and retracted his other raised arm as he was told.

He realized something was wrong after receiving only half of it.

The girl was almost a head shorter than him, so he stretched out his arms and raised them diagonally to the side. Logically, both of them should be recorded, but now it seemed that only he was on the screen.

He paused without saying anything, took back his phone to stop recording, and clicked on the video he had just recorded to play.

Sure enough, the video only recorded him from beginning to end. In the video, he spoke one sentence at a time, and it looked like he was talking to himself.

Lu Yan did not turn on the fill light, and the gray figure in the video talking to the air was creepy.

The wind outside seemed to be stronger, blowing up the curtains, and the light from the street lamp shone into the living room and extended all the way to the door.

With the help of this momentary light, Lu Yan finally saw clearly that the girl's feet under her white skirt were as white as jade, but... they were floating above the ground.

Lu Yan was silent.

At this moment, his three views of the past twenty years suffered a severe blow.

Tangli still lowered her head and pretended to be weak and innocent, but her eyes were full of interest.

With a "click", Lu Yan turned on the light.

Tang Li closed her eyes subconsciously, but Lu Yan stared behind her without blinking, but there was no shadow there.

So, this is not a prank or a trick. The girl in front of me... is not a human.

Lu Yan closed his eyes and moved aside to make way for the entrance.

"Come in first."

What a bland reaction.

Tang Li pouted, but still spoke timidly.

"Thank you, thank you."

She floated into the living room, and Lu Yan closed the door behind her and followed her over to sit on the sofa.

"Tell me, what do you want to do in my house?"

In other words, why did this female ghost come, to this house or to him?

His temples were swollen and sore. Perhaps the familiar environment made his subconscious mind relax. The long-tense fatigue came over him like a tide, making his thinking gradually dull. After confirming that the person in front of him was not a human but some unscientific species, he even tried to understand it with unscientific thinking.

This is something Lu Yan would never do under normal circumstances. A sober Lu Yan would just find a psychologist to treat his brain and see an ophthalmologist to treat his eyes.

"I do not know either."

The female ghost Tangli pursed her lips and began her performance.

"As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself at the door. I didn't know who I was and only vaguely remembered my name. I wanted to go out, but as long as I went beyond a certain distance, I would return to the door."

It’s fake. Her target is Lu Yan, not this house.

"Then the property management came here and looked at the lights outside. I spoke to him but he acted like he couldn't hear me, so I didn't expect you could see me..."

That’s fake. How can she be conquered if Lu Yan can’t even see her?

But this would explain why she didn't respond when Lu Yan spoke at first.

Lu Yan subconsciously looked at his hand: he had indeed touched her head just now.

After the girl finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yan's expression cautiously and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle policeman, can you help me? I want to know who I am."

It's really strange. Normally, they investigate cases involving corpses, but now they have to take on ghost cases.

Lu Yan pressed his eyebrows, trying to clear his confused mind.

The clock in the living room struck one o'clock.

The girl seemed to notice his tiredness and spoke cautiously.

"Why don't you go and rest first? I'm not in a hurry. I can check it tomorrow."

It seems that he hasn't agreed to help her yet?

This thought flashed through Lu Yan's mind, but his brain became increasingly dull.

Forget it.

He stood up.

"Then I'll go rest first, you..."

"My name is Lili."

"Li, you can stay in the living room. You can sleep on the sofa if you want."

Although he saw that the ghosts in horror movies didn't seem to need sleep.

After leaving this sentence, Lu Yan returned to the bedroom, washed up simply, put his head on the pillow and fell asleep. He was not bothered at all by the appearance of a ghost in his living room.

77 couldn't help but sigh, [He is so amazing. ]

I can actually sleep.

【normal. 】

Tangli floated to the sofa and lay down.

[After all, I hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep for a few days, and I was extremely nervous on the way back. ]

Maybe you even think you are dreaming.
