My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 3 Quiz Test

"You are... Li Yi from twenty years in the future?" Li Jiuhe stared blankly at his daughter.

Li Yi nodded: "Your initial guess was partly correct. I am indeed a time traveler, but I am my future self who traveled back from twenty years in the future."

"You... but why...?" Li Jiuhe felt his mind was in a mess.

He rubbed his hair with both hands, sat on the sofa, and looked at his daughter in astonishment.

"The specific reasons are complicated," Li Yi said. "There are some things you can't understand right now. But at this moment, twenty years later, I'm on the verge of death, and no one but you can save me!"

Li Jiuhe looked surprised: "So what happened twenty years later?"

Li Yi said, "When you're able to help me, you'll naturally know what happened back then. Right now, the most important thing is that you master your abilities as soon as possible!"

"My ability?!" Li Jiuhe's mind was a complete mess.

Li Yi nodded: "It's the text you see under the corner of your eye right now."

"You mean the word 'mission'? But I don't know why it appeared, or what its significance is?" Li Jiuhe glanced at the two words again.

At this moment, he noticed that a number "2" had suddenly appeared next to "Task".

Because the number was very small and semi-transparent, he hadn't noticed it earlier.

"It's alright, I'll tell you," Li Yi said. "This world isn't as simple as it seems. It hides many strange things and people with special abilities. You are a possessor of special abilities, and your abilities were triggered when you encountered the abnormal event just now..."

"What is my ability?" Li Jiuhe was still puzzled.

"Task definer".

"Task definition?"

"Yes." Li Yi nodded. "You can define a certain thing you are going to do next as a 'task'. In that task, you can reset the progress of the task like you are playing a game, until the result of the task satisfies you."

"Like saving and loading progress in a game?" Li Jiuhe understood a little this time.

"Something like that, but once your ability develops, it will be extremely powerful, far beyond simply storing and retrieving mission progress," Li Yi said. "However, you once told me that your reset ability requires a sufficient number of reset points, roughly one point per hour, and currently your maximum reset point limit is only five points."

"This is... what I told you?"

Li Jiuhe suddenly understood what the number "2" meant.

"Yes, you were originally going to tell me later, but we've brought it forward now." Li Yi nodded.

Li Jiuhe's heart was pounding. At this moment, he was receiving not only a lot of information, but also extremely unbelievable information. He had to concentrate and try his best to digest it so as not to leave himself in a daze.

"and then?"

"Now that you've activated the ability to define tasks, you need to master it as quickly as possible, because I need your help," Li Yi explained.

"Skilled? How so?" Li Jiuhe asked.

Li Yi said, "You once told me that when your ability is activated, you will have 2 default reset points. Now you need to use these reset points to deal with that abnormal event on the fifth floor. In the process of dealing with it, you will become more and more familiar with this ability, and you will also receive rewards from your own ability."

"You want me to deal with this ghost, Yao Yujie?" Li Jiuhe asked in horror.

Li Yi shook her head: "Dad, don't worry, there are no ghosts in this world. You'll understand once you've actually encountered this strange event."

"You just said that my ability will bring me rewards?" Li Jiuhe didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Yes," Li Yi said, "You can use your special ability to designate the handling of the abnormal event on the fifth floor as a task. After completing the task, you will naturally receive a reward similar to that after completing a game mission."

"This world... can it really be this psychedelic?" Li Jiuhe asked incredulously.

He then looked thoughtfully at his daughter and said in a low voice, "Also, the person I'm talking to is you from twenty years in the future, so what about you in this current timeline? You couldn't have just disappeared into thin air, could you?"

Li Yi smiled and shook her head: "Of course it can't disappear. Right now, my soul has taken over this body, while the original soul consciousness inside the body has fallen into a deep sleep."

"Where is she? Is she still inside my body?" Li Jiuhe asked anxiously.

After all, Li Yi was the one he knew best.

Li Yi shook her head: "I don't really understand the specifics, but it should be sleeping in some indescribable place."

"And you? What are your abilities?" Li Jiuhe asked.

Li Yi shrugged: "I don't have any special abilities. Like I told you, my journey to this world was very complicated, and there are some things you simply can't understand now. But without your help, Dad, I would definitely be dead twenty years from now!"

After saying that, she looked at Li Jiuhe and asked, "Don't you still believe me? Don't you believe I am your daughter from twenty years in the future?"

Li Jiuhe shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that what I'm experiencing now is like a fairy tale suddenly happening right before my eyes."

However, Li Jiuhe did not say it explicitly. Although he believed that the daughter in front of him was a time traveler, he found it difficult to completely believe that she was exactly his daughter from twenty years in the future.

"How about this, you can ask me any questions that only my daughter and I would know the answers to. If I can't answer them, then it's obviously fake," Li Yi suggested.

Li Jiuhe hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "What was your birthday present when you turned five last year?"

"A white rabbit doll," Li Yi answered without hesitation.

"Then why did you cry?"

"The rabbit doll's ears are crooked; I thought it was sick."

What are you most afraid of?

"thunder."

"If it thunders, what will we do together?"

"We'll shout together: Thunder God isn't scary, Thunder God is the drummer."

Li Jiuhe nodded, but his doubts were clearly not completely dispelled.

Because if this time traveler were to possess Li Yi, it's possible that they would inherit all of her memories, unless the person in front of them also knows something that only they and their father would know at some point in the future.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Where did we agree to go for your seventh birthday?"

"Of course it's Beishan Zoo! You already promised to take me to see the giraffes," Li Yi replied naturally with a sweet smile.

Li Jiuhe asked, "Did we go there later?"

This question seems to be purely out of his own curiosity, since the event is happening in the future and Li Jiuhe himself has not yet experienced it, so he has no way of verifying it.

"Yes, I went," Li Yi replied. "I had a lot of fun that day."

Hearing her daughter's answer, Li Jiuhe smiled, looking completely relaxed.

"Dad, do you still doubt that I'm pretending to be your precious daughter?" Li Yi blinked.

"I have no doubt anymore, you are my daughter from twenty years in the future."

Li Jiuhe let out a long sigh, checked the time, and then got up and headed to the bathroom.

As she walked, she said, "I'll go to the fifth floor after I use the restroom. Don't worry, I will make sure my daughter is in no danger!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Li Yi smiled at his retreating figure.

The bathroom door closed behind me.

The next second, Li Jiuhe's legs went weak. He quickly grabbed the sink and struggled to keep from falling before looking up at the mirror on the wall.

The person in the mirror was already pale, with cold sweat pouring down their forehead and their body trembling violently.

He was completely different from the relaxed man he had been just moments before.

"No! She's not my daughter at all!"

Li Jiuhe screamed inwardly, clenching his teeth and bulging the veins in his neck, stubbornly refraining from making a sound.

Just now, Li Yi gave herself away when answering the last question.

Li Jiuhe didn't know what the future held, but there was one thing he was absolutely certain would never happen: taking his daughter to the Beishan Zoo on her seventh birthday.

Just last week, the Beishan Zoo Management Office issued a notice stating that there was a possibility of large-scale landslides in the mountains where the zoo is located, and all the animals in the zoo have been relocated to a zoo in a neighboring city.

The renovation project at this location is quite extensive, so there will be no zoo in the city for the next year.

In other words, it's impossible for Li Yi to go to Beishan Zoo on her seventh birthday!

This time traveler is lying; she's not his daughter at all!
