The detective is dead, I did it.

Chapter 6 Dual Sequence Capabilities

When Li Ang came to his senses, he found Charlotte on the bed tilting her head, observing his changing expressions with great interest.

"You remember now?"

"Yes! It's just that I don't know how to put it. My feelings are a little complicated, but also somewhat relieved."

"Are you glad you're not the murderer?" Charlotte laughed. "But even if you told the judge, no one would believe you."

"After all, the knife was covered in your fingerprints, the person standing next to the corpse was you, and I was just a pitiful victim who died with his eyes wide open in disbelief."

As she spoke, she even made a gesture reminiscent of Xi Shi holding her heart, the dried bloodstain on her chest making the action look even more like a crime scene replay.

Li Ang's lips twitched, and he retorted, "Aren't you afraid I'll really kill you?"

"You did kill me," Charlotte replied calmly, "but I have the power to resurrect myself once a day."

Li Ang could no longer hold back.

You can revive once a day? What kind of outrageous superpower is that?! Are there daily refreshed revival coins?

"So now..." He pointed to the bloodstains on Charlotte's chest, "you're alright?"

"The wound has healed. It's just that I feel sticky and uncomfortable all over." Charlotte looked down at her chest and frowned.

"However, your technique was really bad. The angle was off by two degrees, and the depth wasn't deep enough. If I hadn't taken the initiative, you wouldn't have been able to pierce my heart at all."

"...I'm sorry," Li Ang said curtly, "This is my first time killing someone, I have no experience."

Charlotte glanced at him, a smile playing on her lips. "It's alright, you'll get used to it. But since you've already seen the note I left you, you haven't accepted their branding, have you?"

Li Ang remembered the blood-stained note and realized what had happened, so he said, "No."

"That's good, otherwise it would have been troublesome." She got up from the bed, and because Li Ang had taken off her shoes, she could only step directly onto the carpet with her small feet covered in white stockings as she walked to Li Ang.

Her five toes, barely visible beneath the stockings, peeked out from the carpet like five tiny pearls.

Li Ang's gaze unconsciously glanced down, then quickly looked away.

Charlotte noticed his gaze, and the smile on her lips widened even more, but she didn't say anything. She simply moved her foot to the side to avoid getting her own blood on it.

"Now that your ability has awakened, tell me, what is it?"

Li Ang hesitated for a moment.

I can see clues and hints on other people, and even some very secret things. This must be my ability. Should I tell the detective in front of me everything?

"I can see clues on objects." He selectively concealed half the truth, "like what marks are on the body, what features are on the murder weapon, and so on."

Charlotte nodded and replied, "Codename: The Secret Seeker. Deduction-type sequence, ability tentatively set as Insightful Eye."

"But you should have another sequence, the armed one. Can you sense it?"

Li Ang shook his head. "What is a sequence?"

Charlotte found a chair, sat down, crossed her legs, and dangled her stockinged foot in the air.

"Sequences are special abilities that a small number of people awaken at birth. They are generally divided into deduction sequences and weapon sequences, and are also a necessary condition for becoming a detective."

"And your ability to see clues is a deduction-type ability. In addition, you should also have an armed-type ability."

"This ability is more suited to combat, so detectives with this ability are called armed detectives, who are responsible for catching criminals, while detectives with reasoning abilities are responsible for finding criminals."

"And you are not only the only dual-sequence ability user in the world, but also the first acquired sequence ability user in history. This means you can not only find criminals, but also arrest them yourself!"

The detective pointed at Li Ang and said excitedly.

"Actually, I think detectives can also arrest people themselves. Sometimes, rules shouldn't be set too rigidly," Li Ang said.

"No way." The detective shook her head, denying his statement. "Although this era is the era of detectives, no detective would dare to do something that breaks the rules. After all, no one knows if those criminals are also superhumans or heretics."

"Doesn't what I'm doing count as breaking the rules?"

"No, that doesn't count! After all, you're the first dual-sequence ability user in history!"

The detective's smile grew even brighter.

"After all, you are the first dual-sequence ability user in history. Unprecedented. No rules apply to you."

She could even picture the furious faces of those self-proclaimed elegant royal ladies, armed detectives.

For some reason, she couldn't personally confront them, but that didn't stop her from seeking help from others, so she chose Li Ang.

After all, those armed detectives looked down on them, the detectives who specialize in deduction, and mocked them as a bunch of weaklings with a combat strength of 5, who could only be dealt with when something happened.

However, those women, who constantly preach "ladylike conduct," are actually more savage than dockworkers when they fight.

I bother!

Charlotte cursed inwardly.

They don't even open their eyes! If it weren't for these detectives specializing in deduction, could this bunch of idiots with negative IQs have found the culprit?

Even if they do find it, it will definitely be an attempt to kill innocent people and claim credit for it!

The detective has always viewed these women, who claim to be elegant royal ladies but are actually violent muscle monsters, with the utmost malice.

But things are different now; she found Li Ang.

A dual-sequence ability user, capable of both reasoning and fighting, she couldn't wait to see the expressions on the faces of the armed detectives after they learned about Li Ang.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's gaze towards Li Ang intensified, but she managed to conceal it well.

"You still have one sequence that hasn't been awakened," Charlotte said. "I can sense that your weapon-type abilities are dormant and require strong emotional stimulation to activate."

"for example?"

"For example, a life-or-death crisis."

After Charlotte finished speaking, she suddenly stood up, raised her gun, pointed it at Li Ang's forehead, and pulled the trigger!

Li Ang was startled, but it seemed like nothing had happened. After all, he hadn't heard a gunshot.

"Don't be nervous." Charlotte twirled the pistol in her small hand. "I haven't loaded it."

Li Ang took a deep breath, trying his best to refrain from swearing.

"Is your method of awakening people just pointing a gun at their heads to scare them?"

"This is the most effective way," the detective said righteously. "According to a report published by a medical professor not long ago, people become extra agitated when they are extremely frightened, which I think is a great way to activate potential."

"Then please take that smile off your face." Li Ang seriously suspected that the detective in front of him was just trying to scare him.

"cannot."

"...So you deliberately ran into my knife just to confirm that I'm a dual-sequence ability user?"

"That's not all." Charlotte put down her gun, walked back to the bedside and sat down. "I sensed that special sequence aura on you back then. It wasn't a characteristic of a single sequence, but a possibility beyond that."

"So what is your ability? Is it just simple resurrection?"

"It's a secret," the detective replied with a polite smile.
