My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 65 The Consciousness of the Deceased Wife

The person impersonating Li Yi is real, and her pink cloth bag is in Li Jiuhe's hands.

This small cloth bag was bought by Li Jiuhe at Li Yi's request before he noticed her unusual behavior.

They later snatched it from the imposter.

Gao Jingting sat on the sofa in his office, stroking a small pink cloth bag in his hand, and closed his eyes.

His ability to sever cause and effect is so subtle that no one else can detect it; only he himself has that unseen feeling.

A moment later, Gao Jingting opened his eyes and nodded: "Based on my experience, it should be cut off."

Is that all?

Li Jiuhe was surprised and asked, "Including the man who was with the imposter?"

Gao Jingting nodded: "As long as they are together, the causal connection will be severed simultaneously."

"How long can the severed connection last?"

"In a face-to-face situation, the other party would almost certainly not remember, unless their strength surpasses mine, or there is a special mechanism to re-establish contact," Gao Jingting explained. "But in this situation, I feel that severing the cause and effect should not be a problem for ten days to half a month."

Li Jiuhe nodded: "Okay, I'll see if we can pinpoint the imposter's location as soon as possible."

"Let me know if you need anything." Gao Jingting then looked at Chen Zhenghai, "Team Leader Chen, our Team Leader Liu just said that our two teams will need to cooperate closely from now on..."

"That's for sure." Chen Zhenghai knew there was something behind his words and asked with a smile, "Are you looking to select one of our team members to help you?"

Gao Jingting grinned: "Could you lend us Brother Lu Guan for a moment? The tracker Luo Shuo has located the suspect that our group has been unable to find. Lu Guan is a sharpshooter, and with him, taking down that guy will be much easier."

"Lu Guan, have you finished your work over there?" Chen Zhenghai turned to look at Lu Guan behind his desk.

"I'm fine, Team Leader Chen." Lu Guan stood up.

"Then go ahead, be careful." Chen Zhenghai nodded.

……

At the same time.

Across from Li Jiuhe's residential complex.

A new shopping mall has opened here, but it's currently working hours and there aren't many customers.

Two people were sitting in the milk tea shop at the entrance of the mall. One of them was Wang Feng, a motorcycle driver wearing a leather jacket.

His windproof helmet was placed neatly in front of him.

A girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting next to him.

The girl's face was unfamiliar, and she was pretty, but her eyes and brows revealed a charm that did not belong to her age. At this moment, she was drinking milk tea and staring intently at the entrance of the residential area where Li Jiuhe lived.

"Honey, what do we do now? Li Jiuhe has clearly become stronger. It's almost impossible for us to take back the Morning Bell and the watch on our own," Wang Feng asked cautiously.

"How many times have I told you to call me by my name when we're out?" The girl glanced at Wang Feng with an annoyed expression.

Wang Feng was somewhat unsure and tentatively asked, "Should I call you Li Yi, or Yu Minmin?"

"Damn it!" The girl straightened up and pointed to her body. "Look at me now, how do I resemble Li Yi at all? It looks like I'll be fully recovered in a month at most."

"I understand, don't be angry, Minmin," Wang Feng quickly apologized.

After a moment's hesitation, Wang Feng suggested, "Why don't we just hand over the Tongue of the Dead? It's not like we've got nothing at all; we've at least completed a third of the mission. As for the watch and the Morning Bell, let that guy figure it out himself."

"No way." Yu Minmin shook her head decisively. "We finally have this opportunity, one that many people would give anything for. We must seize it."

She then lowered her head, biting her lip, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Let me think of some other ways."

Almost the instant she finished speaking, an invisible wave appeared out of nowhere between the two of them, then disappeared without a trace, so that neither of them noticed it.

Yu Minmin looked up in surprise, glanced at the milk tea shop, and then at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng also looked surprised, glancing at the street scene outside the glass window before turning his gaze to Yu Minmin.

"What...are we doing here?" Yu Minmin suddenly asked.

Wang Feng shook his head. He vaguely remembered that he had something planned here, but he couldn't recall it at all.

"Did I come shopping with you?" he guessed.

Yu Minmin glanced down at her body, then took out a small makeup mirror and looked at herself: "Why would I transform myself like this just to go shopping?"

Wang Feng shook his head, no longer daring to make wild guesses.

Yu Minmin suddenly realized something: "Has our perception been altered? That guy attacked us! Why would he attack us?"

Wang Feng looked terrified: "I don't know either!"

Yu Minmin immediately stood up: "Let's go, someone might be watching us, let's leave first!"

Although they didn't know the reason, both of them were somewhat panicked and quickly got up and fled.

The two only vaguely remembered that they had a very important mission, but they couldn't recall what the mission was.

……

Even after get off work in the afternoon, the members of the Investigation Bureau's Second Team did not leave.

Lu Guan has been borrowed by a group and hasn't returned yet, while Li Jiuhe is waiting for the tracker Luo Shuo to regain his sequence ability.

Chen Zhenghai and Xu Wei stayed at the bureau with him.

Seeing that they hadn't left, logistics staff member Dana felt awkward about going home.

One of the temporary shelters on the fifth basement level of the Bureau of Investigation building.

Li Jiuhe looked at Liu Jiaqi, the Nightmare, who was locked in the containment room. She had just taken a nap.

However, in her sleep, she discovered that her nightmare ability had failed because the containment room had a confinement function and the inner walls were made of a material that could isolate the effects of certain sequence abilities, the same material used in the containment facility on the outskirts of Wangchuan City.

Moreover, the people supervising the temporary containment chambers are all Sequence Investigators, not ordinary people.

As long as you don't look her in the eye, you won't be tempted by sleepiness.

Besides, Liu Jiaqi isn't a "Strange Eye" type of sequence user. The drowsiness emanating from her gaze has a distinctive feature: her pupils turn white prematurely.

This alone was enough to alert the investigators and prompt them to react quickly.

Furthermore, they discovered that by observing Liu Jiaqi through surveillance videos, she was unable to influence others.

Chen Zhenghai and the others have already questioned them and found out that the second shared dream was the nightmare created by the Nightmare Master, while the first dream was generated by each person's own consciousness.

However, the Nightmare Man slightly adjusted the first dream, making it exhibit the characteristics of a nightmare, and forming a connection channel with the shared dream.

"Did you alter my perception of my deceased wife in my first dream?" Li Jiuhe asked, staring at the nightmare on the screen.

At this moment, the Nightmare was sitting in a separate containment chamber, with a high-definition camera that could transmit sound diagonally above his head.

She shook her head: "In the first dream, I simply injected nightmare elements into your original consciousness, causing these relatively ordinary dreams to undergo changes that terrify you."

At this point, the Nightmare suddenly realized something.

She chuckled and looked up at the camera: "You're the investigator who figured out I'd evolved, right? Hmm, your dream is quite peculiar."

"What's so special about it?" Li Jiuhe asked.

"I discovered the residual consciousness of another person in your dream," she replied slowly.

Li Jiuhe was deeply shaken: "In my dream, my deceased wife told me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Nightmare waved his hand: "That wasn't something I controlled; it was a manifestation of her own consciousness."
