Clenching his fists, he was filled with strength—his whole body brimming with power.

David Thompson did a backflip right on the spot, effortlessly, as if he were in his best condition, the way he felt when heading out for wild adventures.

He had actually recovered—completely recovered.

“What is this thing? It’s incredible…”

“Why can’t others see it, and why was I able to grab something out of thin air…”

Now that David Thompson’s body had recovered, his mind became sharper as well, and he immediately thought about the changes in himself.

It must be related to his three days of unconsciousness, and before he passed out, he had eaten something at the table. But he remembered clearly that he hadn’t put anything on that table.

And in his hazy state, Brian Carter had spoken to him, and he seemed to remember seeing him jump down from upstairs…

“Jumped down?”

Previously, David Thompson’s mind was a bit sluggish, and thinking about anything gave him a splitting headache. Now that he had recovered, he immediately recalled some things.

Thinking about Brian Carter jumping off the building, David Thompson rushed upstairs at once.

Seven floors—he took several steps at a time, quickly making his way up.

Back in the room, the table where he remembered a package and a pile of fruit was now empty, so he walked over to the window.

Looking down from here, there wasn’t even a balcony to land on, but he vaguely remembered that just before he lost consciousness, Brian Carter had dashed out from his side.

He looked out at the street; on the other side was an unfinished building that was once called the tallest in Jianghai.

Looking down at the open space below, it was over twenty meters. Did Brian Carter really jump from here in his memory?

Could he have remembered wrong?

He looked down again and again, carefully recalling that he hadn’t made a mistake, but still felt something must be off. Jumping from such a height and surviving was as likely as winning the lottery…

“Ding dong!”

Just as David Thompson was struggling to figure out whether his memory was wrong or if something else was going on, the doorbell suddenly rang.

This was an entrepreneurship building, with a living room and a bedroom. The outer living room could serve as a reception area, and there were a few computers there. When things got busy, David Thompson and Brian Carter would even have to hire some underclassmen to help out.

Hearing the doorbell, David Thompson finally pulled his thoughts back and decided not to dwell on the issue for now.

He opened the door. Outside stood a man and a woman, both wearing inspector uniforms.

“Hello, are you David Thompson?” The male inspector in his forties spoke first.

“I’m David Thompson. And you are?”

At this moment, the female inspector showed her credentials. “Hello, David Thompson. We heard about your situation from the security office. Here’s the thing: did you recently help apprehend a man peeping near your school’s north gate?”

David Thompson had already guessed, and nodded. “Yes. Are you here to take a statement? Please, come in…”

Originally, David Thompson thought that with security, so many classmates, and the victim present, that would be enough. But since they were being so thorough, he, as a good citizen, would cooperate.

As he spoke, he stepped aside to invite the two inspectors in.

At this point, the male inspector politely declined. “We won’t come in. Here’s the situation: the guy who was caught isn’t actually a real peeping tom or pervert.”

“When we arrived, we quickly did a blood and fingerprint comparison and found that he was actually a suspect who slipped through the net in a drug case a few days ago.”

“A few days ago, while fleeing in panic, he hid some drug money and drugs in the women’s dorm laundry room at your school. This time, he snuck back to retrieve them and was mistakenly caught as a peeping tom.”

“This case is now being handed over to the Major Crimes Unit at the Inspectorate. The person in charge there needs to bring in all related individuals.”

After the male inspector finished, the female inspector seemed worried that David Thompson might be scared, so she added an explanation.

“Don’t worry, although you’ll be going to the Inspectorate, it’s just a quick process and will be over soon. Not only that, according to regulations, you’ll also receive a reward, and we’ll notify your school to recommend you for a commendation.”

The two of them explained things clearly and straightforwardly. David Thompson hadn’t expected such a twist.

But what surprised him most was whether the thing he got from that guy’s head had anything to do with his identity.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but clench his hand again. The sensation in his palm was real—the remaining fruit was still in his hand. “Alright, but I just exercised. Can I change my clothes before we go?”

To be honest, the clothes David Thompson was wearing had been on him for several days, and he’d been sweating a lot due to his previous weakness, so they really did smell.

The two inspectors saw David Thompson as a student, and since he’d helped them out, they were very friendly—this request was no problem.

Back in his room, David Thompson quickly changed clothes, then looked at the things in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he opened his wardrobe, took out a small metal box, and casually tossed the fruit inside.

Just as David Thompson was about to close the box, his eyes widened.

“They disappeared…”

Because as he put the three fruits and those rice-sized things into the box and was about to close it, he watched as several of the rice-sized items quickly vanished.

It was like ice cubes melting rapidly in a hot pan.

What was going on?
