My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 63 Evolved

Just then, the bedroom door opened, and the bloodied, peeling man rushed into the living room and pounced on Li Jiuhe.

Li Jiuhe was quickly tackled to the ground by this guy. The molting man was very powerful in this nightmare space, leaving him no time to care about anything else.

The dormouse immediately crawled out of its cage and quickly approached Liu Jiaqi, whose subconscious had already been controlled.

Climbing up Liu Jiaqi's legs, they quickly reached her shoulders.

At this moment, Li Jiuhe's body began to tremble, and a tremendous sense of detachment descended upon him.

He knew that it was Chen Zhenghai, who was already awake, who was waking him up.

In his haste, he lay on the ground and glanced up at Liu Jiaqi's location, only to see the dormouse had already crawled back into the woman's mouth.

Suddenly, everything went dark.

With a violent jolt, Li Jiuhe opened his eyes.

Because of his heightened mental state, he was able to transition from a state of just waking up to a state of full wakefulness instantly, without any delay.

He immediately opened the car door and jumped out of the official vehicle with Chen Zhenghai and Xu Wei.

"Team Leader Chen, immediately take control of the Zhao family's pet rat and Liu Jiaqi!" Li Jiuhe quickly said to Chen Zhenghai.

Before the last mission reset, he had already seen the direction these people rushed to after Chen Zhenghai notified the police.

The three of them ran toward the building while talking.

Similar to the scene in the nightmare, those people all lived on the third floor of this building.

This area is also a key area that the police are focusing on sealing off and monitoring.

Before they relied on tracker Luo Shuo for location tracking, by the time they arrived at the crime scene, the nightmare would have already ended, leaving them empty-handed.

Besides, no one would suspect the Nightmare Man and the Dormouse together.

If the dormouse achieves its goal, it will break free of its cage and escape before the investigators arrive, then continue to disguise itself as a pet and begin its nightmare in the next location.

This was the first thing Chen Zhenghai, who woke up first, could think of quickly.

However, he was puzzled as to why Li Jiuhe would suspect Liu Jiaqi.

It's important to know that Liu Jiaqi was not involved in the previous Nightmare Case; she only appeared in this case.

They went up to the third floor with the police.

Since they no longer needed to hide, they had no more scruples and directly broke down the door of Zhao Yuanhang's house as Li Jiuhe had instructed.

Chen Zhenghai and another team of police officers stormed into Liu Jiaqi's house.

Li Jiuhe didn't linger; after entering the house, he went straight to the bedroom of the little boy, Zhao Yuanhang.

Because he and Zhao Yuanhang had come here together in his dream last time, and the cage of the dormouse was in this little boy's bedroom.

At first glance, the cage was placed at the foot of the bed, and the dormouse inside was still there, seemingly fast asleep.

Zhao Yuanhang, who was lying on the bed, had already woken up groggily and was rubbing his eyes, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

Li Jiuhe immediately picked up the pet cage and carefully examined the small iron gate, finding it to be locked.

We are now in the real world. The Nightmare's Sequence ability is very strong in the dream world, with various spatial restrictions and fear generation, but it is almost impossible to exert its power in the real world.

However, Li Jiuhe was still on guard. He used a sheet from the bedside to cover most of the cage, ensuring that if the dormouse opened its eyes, the people here would not be able to see its gaze.

Otherwise, he worried that eye contact with a dormouse might induce drowsiness.

Once the target falls asleep and enters a dream state, it will completely control the target again.

Several police officers quickly arrived at the next bedroom. One of them said to Li Jiuhe, "Investigator, the child's parents are in a coma and cannot be woken up, and his grandfather has stopped breathing."

Another police officer added, "The ambulance is waiting outside and can come in immediately to provide emergency care. Can we let them in now?"

After all, this is a case handled by the Bureau of Investigation, involving mystery and the bizarre, so they need to consult with investigators before making a decision.

Li Jiuhe nodded.

After asking someone to take good care of Zhao Yuanhang, who had just woken up, he carried the pet cage to the corridor and saw Chen Zhenghai and Xu Wei escorting Liu Jiaqi out of Liu Jiaqi's room.

Liu Jiaqi seemed to have just woken up as well, and looked very anxious, repeatedly asking, "Why are you arresting me?"

Chen Zhenghai remained silent, while Xu Wei held the bone flute in her hand, ready to take action against Liu Jiaqi at any time should the situation turn against her.

Li Jiuhe didn't answer Liu Jiaqi, but instead gave her a meaningful look and waved the pet cage in his hand.

"Are you going to continue pretending you know nothing?"

Liu Jiaqi looked utterly astonished: "I really don't know what you're doing! Let me go!"

Chen Zhenghai glanced at the pet cage, his tone somewhat surprised: "The dormouse in this cage... is dead!"

"Dead?"

Li Jiuhe brought the cage close to his eyes and opened the cover to take a closer look.

Because the dormouse hadn't moved, it was impossible to tell at first whether it was sleeping or dead.

Only Chen Zhenghai, the "insightful one," could clearly sense it.

Xu Wei inserted the end of the bone flute into the cage and gently poked the seemingly sleeping dormouse. The creature was quickly flipped over, but it remained curled up in its sleeping position, as if its body had stiffened.

"He's really dead!" Xu Wei exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Li Jiuhe recalled the scene in his dream where he saw Liu Jiaqi devouring a dormouse. He wasn't too surprised; instead, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly settled down.

He said to Chen Zhenghai, "Team Leader Chen, you can take Liu Jiaqi away. I'm certain that the Nightmare Dormouse didn't die, but rather evolved. It had already controlled and assimilated Liu Jiaqi's consciousness in the nightmare, which led to its successful possession of the woman's body in the real world after she woke up."

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Liu Jiaqi panicked immediately, and looked like she wanted to explain.

Chen Zhenghai moved swiftly and was about to handcuff Liu Jiaqi behind her back.

Suddenly, the anxious woman rolled her eyes, and her pupils disappeared, leaving only the whites of her eyes visible.

At the same moment, both Li Jiuhe and Xu Wei felt dizzy and their minds became somewhat confused.

Chen Zhenghai also felt dizzy.

boom!

The next second, his fist slammed into Liu Jiaqi's jaw, knocking her unconscious.

Retracting his fist, Chen Zhenghai's face was cold: "Trying to bewitch me? You probably don't know how strong my willpower is."

Li Jiuhe and Xu Wei came to their senses, grabbed the sheet that had been covering the pet cage, and quickly covered the woman's head with it.

The three of them then worked together to carry the unconscious Liu Jiaqi to the official car downstairs.

The scene was handed over to the police for cleanup, while they returned directly to the investigation bureau.

On the way back, Chen Zhenghai gave Li Jiuhe a thumbs up: "Your sequence ability is very predictive. Otherwise, we might not have been able to discover the clues and capture the evolved Nightmare."

Li Jiuhe knew very well that because Chen Zhenghai was there, the Nightmare Man could still be caught before the mission was reset, but the people in the dream would all die.

He didn't go into details, but just glanced at his current reset point limit, which was already 12 points.

Back at the Bureau of Investigation, the evolved Nightmare was sent to a temporary containment chamber.

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't expected Chen Zhenghai and Li Jiuhe to work together so smoothly, resolving the case that had been troubling Team Two for so long in less than half a day.

While Li Jiuhe was finishing up the case of the Nightmare in the office, Diana, who was in charge of logistics for the second team, hurriedly came back from outside and placed a special envelope on Li Jiuhe's desk.

"Brother Li, these are the results of the handwriting and paper analysis you sent to the police station last time."
