Dog Skin Plaster

He had already made it very clear.

Xu Nian would be a fool not to understand.

Ugh!

What was going on with this system?

So your so-called rewards were all stolen on the spot?

The last time, with that big meal, you at least knew to copy it, but this time you weren’t even pretending, were you?

She had never seen such a garbage system!

Other people’s systems were so invincible, how did she end up with this one?

“Sorry, Uncle, this, we picked it up. I’ll return it to you right away.”

Xu Nian respectfully handed the Fluxweapon, which had returned to its box form, to the other party.

The middle-aged man took the Fluxweapon and took another puff of his cigarette.

“Actually, I’m quite curious how you managed to take it and even remove the locator inside.

But no matter how you look at it, you’re just a one-star Fluxweaver, and you were under our surveillance the whole time, with an alibi. It’s really strange.”

Xu Nian’s ears turned red.

Calm, calm, must hold it in!

Must hold it in, absolutely can’t expose anything!

The acting skills she learned needed to kick in quickly!

“I, I found it in the flower bushes by the road. I really didn’t expect this to be yours. I don’t know anything, I just became a Fluxweaver. You can tell I’m not lying from my sincere eyes.”

“Niannian is right, she didn’t lie. I can testify.”

“Heh.”

What did that “heh” mean?

“Do you know that your behaviour alone is already against the law, and a serious crime at that? If it weren’t for seeing that you two are good prospects, and the team is short of people, we wouldn’t give you a free pass.”

“Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Uncle.”

Seeing that the other party wasn’t going to pursue the matter, Xu Nian hurriedly smiled.

“I have a name, Xiao Ge, codename Yan. You can usually call me Team Xiao or Team Yan.”

“Xiao Yan? Do you also have a past where you were dumped by your fiancée?”

“Read fewer web novels. I’m still single to this day.”

“What? How is it possible for someone as charming and accomplished as you to still be single?” Xu Nian hurriedly started flattering him.

“In our line of work, being accompanied by danger is common. I don’t want my wife to be worried, so I might as well just stay single.”

Just then, Leng Xiao walked over: “Captain, everything is handled.”

“Okay, let’s go. The Soul-Imprisoning Death Lamp can also be rolled back.”

Leng Xiao glanced at Xu Nian and Su Qingya, but didn’t say much.

But Xu Nian could feel that the other party seemed to be saying to herself: “Sticky fingers.”

This was so embarrassing! Damn system! Couldn’t it just conjure up rewards out of thin air?

Now the owner had come knocking!

“You might have nightmares tonight. Be prepared.”

Leng Xiao thought for a moment and reminded her.

“Why?”

“Side effects of using the Fluxweapon.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

The two got into the police car and waved goodbye to Xu Nian and Su Qingya.

Xu Nian also hurriedly responded.

Su Qingya’s expression beside her changed slightly.

“Niannian, you can lie in my arms tonight.”

“Why?”

“Too many whys. Didn’t she just tell you that you’ll have nightmares tonight? So, in my arms, you’ll be safe.”

Xu Nian’s face turned red.

She just raised her hand to say something.

But she found a box inexplicably being held in her hand.

???

Why did this box look so familiar?

That’s right!

Very familiar!

Wasn’t this the Soul-Imprisoning Death Lamp!

She saw the police car that had originally driven away drive back again.

“Looks like I really have to control you.”

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Ge stared at Xu Nian, speechless.

“Really, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t know how this thing got into my hand.”

Xu Nian hurriedly stuffed the Fluxweapon in her hand into the car window.

“Quick, take this thing away! Get as far away as possible! Ghost, ghost, ghost!”

Xiao Ge also steadily grabbed the Fluxweapon.

Then, the thing appeared in Xu Nian’s hand again.

Everyone was dumbfounded this time.

“Are you playing with me? Scraping emotional energy from my head?”

“I, I really don’t know what’s going on!”

Xu Nian laughed out of anger.

She had a bit of a stomachache.

Exuberance wasn’t some kind of theft path either.

She tried several times, but it was useless. Instead, it stuck to Xu Nian’s hand and couldn’t be shaken off.

“Looks like this Fluxweapon really likes you.”

Xiao Ge pondered and said.

He could also see that Xu Nian hadn’t used any special power, but the Fluxweapon just couldn’t be shaken off.

In his opinion, this wasn’t without precedent.

A lifebound Fluxweapon had the characteristic of being able to return to the user no matter how far away it was.

But this lamp wasn’t Xu Nian’s lifebound Fluxweapon.

A lifebound Fluxweapon had to be cultivated from the “embryo” stage, growing with the master bit by bit.

Only after the master’s death would it become an unowned Fluxweapon.

Moreover, Xu Nian’s path was Exuberance, while this lamp’s path was Fear.

When Su Qingya heard Xiao Ge’s words, she exploded!

“Dead lamp! How dare you steal my Niannian!”

She was even jealous of the Fluxweapon!

She snatched the lamp from Xu Nian’s hand, pressed it against Xiao Ge’s leg, and used her fear-based emotional energy to suppress it.

This time, the Soul-Imprisoning Death Lamp became much more obedient.

Xiao Ge gave Su Qingya a strange look.

Rank suppression.

Before he could speak, he saw Su Qingya hugging Xu Nian and taking several steps back.

“Quickly take this lamp away! Get as far away as possible!”

Xiao Ge ultimately didn’t say much, smiled, and said to Leng Xiao beside him: “Okay, let’s go. There shouldn’t be any more accidents this time. Remember to come to the Public Security Bureau sometime.”

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind the two of them.

As a result…

The dead box appeared in Xu Nian’s hand again!

Su Qingya’s eyes widened beside her.

This thing really appeared in Xu Nian’s hand out of thin air.

What the hell?

Xu Nian really didn’t understand.

But soon she thought of something. Was it because of the reward just now?

Did the so-called “establish a deep friendship with the Fluxweapon” mean to turn it into a Fluxweapon that would be forever loyal to her?

Before accepting the reward, the Fluxweapon could betray her at any time.

After accepting it, it directly became a sticky plaster that couldn’t be shaken off.

Xiao Ge, who hadn’t left far, came back again.

He looked at Xu Nian without speaking. Xu Nian also gave him an awkward smile.

“Team Xiao, what do you think about this… Should I think of another way to return it to you?”

“Let’s register it. You’ll be a reserve member of our team from now on, responsible for keeping the Fluxweapon—the Soul-Imprisoning Death Lamp.

But seeing how attached it is to you, I guess it’s unlikely to be lost.”

“This, isn’t that not so good? I’ve become a reserve member just like that?”

“Choose between going to jail or joining the team.”

What did “choose between going to jail or joining the team” mean?

Didn’t that mean there was no choice at all?

“Can I ask? How many years is the sentence?”

“Hmm?”

“Captain! Reserve member Xu Nian has officially come to report!” Xu Nian gave a standard salute.

“Save that line for tomorrow.” Then, Xiao Ge’s gaze fell on Su Qingya.

Seeing the other party’s gaze turn over, Su Qingya hurriedly stepped forward and put her hands on Xu Nian’s shoulders: “Since Niannian is joining, then I’ll join too.”

“Okay, remember to get up early tomorrow. You need to be there before nine o’clock. I’ll give you two newbies some training by the way.”

After saying that, Xiao Ge actually ignored the two and had Leng Xiao drive away from here.

Xu Nian was left holding the box.

The evening breeze was really cold.

“Captain, wouldn’t this be a bit… How should we explain it to the higher-ups?”

“Exchanging a Fluxweapon for two promising geniuses to join the official ranks. I think it’s worth it, isn’t it?” Xiao Ge’s gaze turned to the window: “Besides, this is just a change of custodian. It’s also my little investment.”

He lit another cigarette.
