Chapter 229: Online Game Player

"My lord, your family is inside. I shall take my leave first."

Inside the police station, with a humble voice and Fang Can's casual wave, the station chief tactfully slipped away in silence.

Through the glass, Fang Can's gaze observed the girl in the office.

Afternoon slanting sunlight pierced through the gaps of the blinds, weaving a mottled golden net over the girl's curled silhouette.

Dots of brown from dried blood clung to the pristine white sailor collar.

The girl hugged her knees, curled into a tiny ball; her small leather shoes pressed against the metal leg of the desk, and her clean white arms, exposed at the cuffs, embraced her bent legs.

Her slender, long right hand tightly gripped a blood-stained paper cutter, her body curled and trembling.

Raising a hand to lightly knock on the wooden door with his knuckles as a reminder, Fang Can gently turned the handle and walked inside; only then did he clearly see the girl's face before him.

The girl's porcelain-white skin in the morning light resembled fine white glaze; her long eyelashes fluttered like beating butterflies; her features were exquisite and flawless; "peerless elegance" was the best interpretation of her.

'This... this isn't right.' Fang Can muttered in his heart.

This appearance was nine-tenths wrong; compared to Jiang and Liu, she was no less, only her temperament was slightly inferior.

Leaving aside the fact that such a face could be bullied, another problem was that in the New Nation, a woman with such looks had not yet been slept with by him.

This wasn't Fang Can losing interest; rather, his hundred-person harem was indeed gathered by Ji Donglai, who searched the entire nation for the top hundred beauties to send him.

With the looks of the girl before him, there was no reason she should have been rejected, let alone that she should have been invested in long ago.

But what did it matter? The shady dealings behind it had nothing to do with him; why think so much?

"You are 【Qianqian's Loneliness】, right? I'm here to pick you up."

Fang Can kept his tone as gentle as possible, looking at the JK girl before him: "I am also a superpowered being. Just come with me from now on; if you have any questions, you can ask me."

"B-but... I killed someone, and I also skipped class," the girl said fearfully: "The school rules say that skipping class without reason means going to jail."

"That is only the law of ordinary people. You have now become a superpowered being. In the New Nation, as long as you don't strike your own kind, you can almost do anything," Fang Can explained.

Seeing the title 【Fang Can · Level 1】 hovering above the white-haired youth's head, the girl suppressed her surprise.

'I didn't expect to meet a character from a CG animation here.'

The girl was not a native of the New Nation; this body was not hers either; it was merely a game character created based on her original appearance after entering the game.

The Interstellar Federation she belonged to spanned several star systems and had recently received a government-issued beta test invitation for the holographic online game 【Two Realms Conquest】.

As a beta tester, she could not only enter the game early but also gained the opportunity to enter the Superpower Realm dungeon.

Compared to the martial artists distributed in the martial world during the public test later, this dungeon could give her nearly double the online time.

Meeting Fang Can's gaze, the girl affirmed in her heart: 'Not bad; this fellow's looks are not inferior to mine.'

What surprised the girl most was that the man was a character appearing in the opening CG.

She still remembered that in the brief plot introduction when entering the game, the man, clad in battle armor with overwhelming killing intent, faced countless enemies floating in the sky head-on.

Observing the youth's expression now, calm and completely without hostility, the girl guessed that plot should be in some future version.

'But this world is truly so distorted; killing has no cost. Fortunately, I am also a superpowered being.'

Seemingly because the girl's silence lasted too long, Fang Can spoke up: "Next, leave this place with me first, then I will take you to introduce your other superpowered family members."

Looking at the youth before her, who seemed not even as old as herself, a dialogue panel appeared before the girl.

Option One: Where are my parents? Why didn't they come to pick me up?

Option Two: The superpowered beings... are my family?

Option Three: Improvise.

The dialogue panel before the girl was generated based on the past experiences and background of the character she was playing, forming the most reasonable dialogue.

Because the Federation's description of the online game company stated that these online games were completely different from previous ones, with a realism of 99.9%, they could be treated as a real world.

Therefore, if one behaved inappropriately, it would be easy to be detected as abnormal.

To prevent these NPCs from detecting anomalies, it was best to follow the dialogue patterns at the start.

Looking at the three options before her, the girl hesitated slightly before choosing Option Two; after all, what was good about Option One? Just get through the plot quickly.

The girl said somewhat timidly: 'The superpowered beings... are my family?'

"Something like that. Like this bullying incident, it won't happen again. You are now a superpowered being; only you will bully others."

As Fang Can spoke, he extended his right hand and opened it before the girl: "Now you can give me the paper cutter. Are we two going to stand here awkwardly chatting forever?"

The girl said nothing; her hand turned lightly, and the blood-stained paper cutter was stored into her storage backpack.

Watching the paper cutter disappear inexplicably, Fang Can nodded: "A spatial ability user? Quite a practical ability."

"N-no, it's not a spatial ability. My ability is 【Mental Bomb】."

The girl explained softly: "I can destroy other people's memories through touch."

Hearing the girl's explanation, even though he knew superpowered beings had diverse abilities, Fang Can still hadn't expected such a sinister ability.

Although he didn't know the upper limit of the girl's ability's effect, Fang Can was not worried.

With his current intuition, he was fully capable of detecting it before it took effect and directly smashing the other into minced meat.

Still extending his right hand without care, he said: "Mental Bomb, is it? I understand. Just come with me from now on; I'll take you to visit the Superpowered Headquarters in City A."

'After knowing my ability, he's not afraid of me?' The girl looked at the Bai Yu hand before her with slender knuckles, hesitated for a moment, then gently reached out and grasped it.

The touch was warm and moist, like fine jade; she could feel the tenderness of the palm's skin from it; the subtle sensation exploded like sparks at her nerve endings, causing a slight ripple in the girl's heart.

Suppressing the ripples rising in her heart slightly, the girl cursed inwardly: 'Is the haptic system of this game crazy? Just a handshake, and it's transmitting such signals to my brain nerves?'

Suppressing the urge to knead and savor it thoroughly, the girl only felt a pulling force come, lifting her body from the office chair.

"Let's go. Next, I'll take you to see the headquarters. Come to think of it, I haven't been to the Dragon Group either."

As Fang Can spoke, he pointed lightly at the sky; under the girl's gaze, the entire police station was lifted up, and under the effect of the force field, the two flew together toward the direction of City A.
