I changed the world.

"Are you a Taoist priest?" The middle-aged police officer shone his flashlight on the man, the blinding light making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

"Yes...yes...I am a Taoist priest, staying at Qinghe Palace." Yu Huai's body was hunched over, and his voice was weak. The police officers had dragged him out of the vehicle quite roughly, and he was now in pain even when he was breathing.

His ribs had already been impacted to some extent after he was hauled out of the farm, and to make matters worse, during the rollover, the same spot was hit again because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. He didn't know if his ribs were broken, but he suspected they were at least fractured.

In addition, he felt pain in several places on his body. He reached up and touched his forehead, where there was a semi-congealed scab. He didn't know where he was injured...

However, none of this is the most important thing. The most important thing is...

He glanced nervously at the young officer who was communicating with headquarters via intercom, while the middle-aged officer frowned and stared intently at him, lest he do something inappropriate. In fact, if he hadn't appeared so badly injured and unable to move, the officer would have put a silver bracelet on him.

"A Taoist priest? A monk speeding?! And even killing someone and fleeing the scene?! The world is going to the dogs..." The middle-aged police officer cursed and scolded, his eyes filled with even more disgust as he looked at Yu Huai.

"Please confess, have you been drinking or using drugs? It's no use denying it; we're going to do a blood test soon."

"No... I didn't drink, and I didn't take drugs..." Yu Huai's forehead was already covered in sweat, and he looked quite flustered, glancing left and right as if searching for something.

"To be honest... it'll save everyone trouble!" The officer clearly didn't believe him, and his tone became increasingly unfriendly. Especially seeing Yu Huai's flustered appearance, he subconsciously felt that he had hit the nail on the head and that the other party was hiding something.

"Officer... Officer..." Yu Huai swallowed hard, enduring the sharp pain in his ribs, and said in a panic, "I mean, could you perhaps get me accepted by a higher-level department... You must have such a department..."

"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm warning you, don't even think about playing dumb to get away with it. I've seen plenty of people like you..."

“No…no…” Yu Huai could tell that the two police officers in front of him were just ordinary traffic police officers, not members of any special department. At this moment, he had given up his plan to go to the airport and escape to Southeast Asia. After all, in his current state, there was no way he could get to the airport and board the plane on his own. In addition, he had already been caught by the police. So, in his opinion, the only way to survive was to seek refuge with the police…

“You must have that kind of… you know… department that handles special situations…” Seeing the officer’s increasingly furrowed brows, Yu Huai said anxiously, “It’s that kind of… department that deals with supernatural… ghosts? monsters? Something like the Dragon Group… the Supernatural Special Operations Department…”

"What kind of bullshit are you talking about..." The police officer on the other end was clearly not expecting this Taoist-dressed man to make such a strange request.

Yu Huai was anxious. In his mind, since this world had so many deep secrets, especially with the appearance of the Underworld today, it was as if a new world had been opened for him. Clearly, he had been a frog in a well before...

Given this, he figured the authorities probably knew something, and not only knew, they likely controlled some special departments. After all, the entertainment industry in this world was equally rich, with numerous novels and films depicting special departments.

After all, Yu Huai didn't believe that the authorities hadn't made any preparations for such a world with a large number of hidden forces to continue operating so "normally" until today.

He wasn't sure if the "official forces" he suspected could actually pull him out of the "underworld's" pursuit, but at this moment, it was one of his few remaining options.

Even if it meant going to jail, he didn't want to go to that legendary underworld...

Especially since e, r himself, is at least a self-made person, perhaps, his involvement might be useful to the authorities?

Perhaps the authorities also need someone like him, a "remarkable individual"?

However, the traffic policeman in front of him clearly thought he was talking nonsense. But this only made him more anxious. He quickly realized the problem: the traffic policeman's rank must be too low. Obviously, how could an ordinary traffic policeman know such a thing?

“You have to believe me, I have something very important to do, I have value… really… I have value to you… By the way, I need to see your superior, you can contact your superior…”

The officer frowned; he began to think that the Taoist priest in front of him seemed to have some mental issues…

Just then, another police officer walked over and whispered to his partner, "Brother Wang, something seems wrong. This might not be a simple car accident..."

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged police officer, known as Brother Wang, immediately turned around and looked at his partner.

"Headquarters told us to keep a close eye on the suspect, saying that people from the Department of Justice's Special Crimes Investigation Bureau are coming to take over the case, and they are on their way."

"Oh?" The officer was clearly taken aback, then looked at Yu Huai lying on the ground, thoughtfully considering what he had just said, licked his lips, and took a deep breath...

"Brother Wang, what did this guy just say?"

“Some strange things…” The officer was about to say something when suddenly, the communicator on his waist rang.

"Hello? Yes, this is crew number 3328..."

"Good morning, sir!" The middle-aged police officer clearly stood at attention, indicating that someone of considerable rank was on the other end of the communicator and identifying themselves.

"Yes...yes...we just stopped a vehicle suspected of dangerous driving...car accident...yes...the driver is injured and is waiting for backup."

"A middle-aged man, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, claiming to be a Taoist priest from the Xuanmen sect... Not yet, he looks quite injured, so we haven't started questioning him yet..."

"Yes...yes...we have weapons...yes, I understand..."

"Oh, right... this guy just said some strange things. He said... um... he wanted to see the department that handles special cases... like the supernatural... uh... the department that deals with monsters. He said he had something important to discuss..."

"Yes...yes...I will pass on the message..."

After putting down the communicator, the middle-aged police officer glanced at Yu Huai, who was lying on the ground, with a strange expression: "The person you want to see will be here soon."

"There really is such a department?" His partner, who had been listening to the conversation, couldn't help but ask in a low voice out of curiosity.

“A section chief from the Special Crimes Investigation Bureau of the Department of Justice said that’s what they are…” The middle-aged police officer lowered his voice as well, adding, “His exact words.”

"Fuck..."

"Oh, and they also said that if he does anything dangerous, we should use our weapons immediately." The middle-aged police officer didn't lower his voice when he said this, clearly indicating that he was speaking to Yu Huai as well.

Yu Huai naturally did not resist. He lay on the ground for a while, and when he felt he had recovered somewhat, he carefully sat up while holding onto the wall.

"Hey Wang, there really are all sorts of supernatural things in this world..." A young police officer standing nearby couldn't help but say after hearing his colleague's words.

"Who knows... With today's advanced technology, spaceships are even used for outer space colonization. So what if they do exist? They'll just get shot and sent to their doom anyway..."

"Hehe, Brother Wang, you know about that large-diameter pagoda joke too..."

Hearing this, Yu Huai couldn't help but laugh. His laughter was hoarse, and in the dark night, the soft sound was as eerie as the call of an owl.

"What are you laughing at!" The young police officer, annoyed by the laughter, snapped impatiently.

“You ordinary people… don’t know the truth about this world!” Yu Huai didn’t care about his attitude, just shook his head, his eyes dark: “The waters of this world… are much deeper than you can imagine.”

"The starry sky... Hehehe... You don't even understand the world you live in..." Yu Huai said, unable to resist looking up at the sky. Although he was a religious person, he was still aware of some current events. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that humanity's desire to explore the unknown stars was probably not as easy as it seemed in the news...

“You don’t understand…you know nothing…” he murmured.

"That pretentious charlatan, looks like another brainless cult member..." the young police officer sneered, looking at him.

Since the beginning of this year, police forces across the country have intensified their efforts to crack down on cults and cults, and have also carried out a certain amount of anti-cult knowledge dissemination and popularization within the police system in various places. After reading a lot of propaganda materials about families being destroyed by cults, the young police officer looked at Yu Huai's current state and suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a cult fraudster.

No, maybe they're not scammers. It's said that these guys sometimes even get brainwashed themselves, and their mental state is abnormal...

The middle-aged police officer glanced at the eccentric fellow, frowned, and suddenly pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his waist. He stepped forward and skillfully cuffed Yu Huai's hands, then put a pair of silver bracelets on them.

"If you keep nagging, I'll copy you onto a different tube!"

Yu Huai glanced at the two impatient-looking police officers and wisely kept quiet.

The young police officer next to him took out two cigarettes, lit one, and handed one to his partner: "Brother Wang, this will help you stay alert."

The middle-aged police officer took the lighter, lit it with his own lighter, then lit the one next to him, took a puff, and suddenly, at that moment, he seemed to hear a sound and looked up at the sky.

Just then, fog began to rise around them, shrouding the surrounding roads and houses in a thin mist. As a coastal city, such fog is extremely common in Jin'an, and the two policemen did not feel there was anything wrong with it.

However, it was all shrouded in a thin mist, and it was impossible to see clearly what was in the sky.

At the same time, Yu Huai seemed to realize something and began to look around anxiously, muttering to himself, "They're here...they're here...they're here..."

"What are you yelling about..." The young police officer yawned, glanced at Yu Huai who was acting strangely beside him, and frowned.

"No...it's really here...they're chasing me!!! They're chasing me!!!" Yu Huai appeared extremely uneasy, his eyes flashing with fear, and then he struggled to stand up.

"Sit down! Don't even think about running away." The young police officer next to him quickly became alert and pointed his pistol at Yu Huai again.

"No, officer! I wasn't trying to run away! They're here! They're here!!!"

"Sit down and put your hands behind your head!!! I don't want to repeat myself!!!" The young officer cautiously took a step back. He remembered the colleague he had heard about in the team who had been stabbed in a vital spot and died in the line of duty by a mentally unstable DU driver. His eyes were full of vigilance.

"Officer... Officer... Let me leave here, they're here!!!"

"Sit down!!! Or I'll shoot!!!" In the young police officer's eyes, the driver in front of him was clearly mentally unstable. Whether he was on drugs or a religious believer, this kind of social scum was not a normal person.

Yu Huai stared at the dark muzzle of the gun, gritted his teeth, and sat down again.

At that moment, a distinct sound began to come from the sky, which quickly grew stronger, and at the same time, a powerful beam of light swept down from the sky.

The sound grew louder and louder, becoming deafening in just a few breaths, accompanied by a powerful wind pressure that began to blow down from the sky...

At that moment, the two police officers looked up at the sky at the same time. Through the thin mist, they could see a gray-black helicopter slowly descending from the sky.

Both officers were astonished. Upon seeing the helicopter, they realized that it must be the Special Crimes Investigation Bureau. However, they had expected them to arrive by car, not this large-scale operation...

In fact, what the two were unaware of was that if the incident had not occurred in this dilapidated alleyway densely packed with old buildings, then what was coming at that moment would not have been a helicopter, but a tiltrotor jet!

The reason why the field personnel from the Department of Justice's Special Crime Investigation Service, Division 4, used a relatively slower helicopter instead of a tilt-jet aircraft was that the jet stream was too strong when hovering at low altitude, which could pose a safety hazard if there were old residential areas below.

Ropes were quickly dropped from the helicopter, followed by a group of fully armed field personnel wearing exoskeletons.

The men landed not far from the two officers. They carefully surveyed their surroundings before one of them walked toward the officers, saluted, and pressed a button on his helmet. The helmet visor flipped up, revealing a thin face.

He pulled out a black-covered badge and opened it in front of the two men. In the darkness, the two traffic policemen only glanced at the silver badge on the badge, which featured a shield, scales, ears of wheat, and two crossed swords, and they no longer doubted his identity.

"Wang Tao, Ying Xiaohu, right? I'm from the Special Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice. Please take care of things here and leave them to us. Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't mention it, it's our duty..." The two officers quickly returned the salute. They were clearly unfamiliar with the situation and appeared quite nervous.

The Special Crime Investigation Bureau field officer smiled and looked at the two officers, continuing, "Please don't leave yet. We have some questions to ask you later, and we'll need your cooperation."

While this field officer was talking to two traffic police officers, two other fully armed field officers came up to Yu Huai from behind.

Although Yu Huai's hands were already cuffed, the two field agents still showed extreme caution, keeping their weapons firmly in Yu Huai's vital areas.

“We are from the Special Crime Investigation Service of the Department of Justice. We need your cooperation in the investigation. Now, put your hands where we can see you and do not try to resist.”
