Chapter 81 looks familiar.

After the farce of Long Aoao traveling thousands of miles to meet his crush ended with on-site corporal punishment and the school belle suffering a social death, the storm that had swept across the entire internet not only failed to subside but instead intensified.

The brat, Long Aoao, had already been taken back to Baishui City by his disgraced parents; waiting for him was a "family combo meal" consisting of a Seven Wolves belt and post-class homework on moral education.

As for dragon knight no. 1, it had stolen the spotlight in this farce, leading the entire Baishui City police force on a wild goose chase.

It was taken as the most critical piece of evidence, secretly transported overnight from the neighboring city via a special transport vehicle back to the Baishui City Public Security Bureau, where it was handed over to the Technical Identification Division for sealing and analysis.

At this moment, the Grade A laboratory at the Municipal Bureau's Technical Identification Center, which was usually only used for dismantling smuggled mobile phones and analyzing electronic evidence, had been temporarily cleared out.

The matte black dragon knight no. 1 was sitting quietly on the lift platform in the center of the laboratory, illuminated by several high-power shadowless lamps from all directions, revealing every single detail.

Its muscular lines and aggressive exterior exuded a chilling sense of oppression under the cold lights.

It was already the next day.

A group of technical Experts from Baishui City and even Lu Province were gathered around this child's car, their brows furrowed, their expressions like those of primitive people seeing an alien spacecraft.

"Have the car body material analysis results come out yet?" asked Chen Jianjun, the Criminal Investigation Detachment Captain in charge of this technical identification, holding a cup of strong tea, his voice hoarse.

He hadn't closed his eyes for two days.

"Captain Chen, we can't analyze it," said the old professor in charge of material analysis, adjusting his reading glasses, his face full of frustration.

"What about the power system? Have you figured it out?" Chen Jianjun turned to another Expert in charge of vehicle engineering.

"That's even harder to understand." The Expert shook his head with a bitter smile, pointing to the completely sealed black module under the car that showed no discernible structure. "We used X-ray scanning, but the inside is a blur; there's strong electromagnetic shielding. We tried connecting an external power source, but it didn't respond at all. It's like a black box; we don't know what energy it uses, nor do we know its operating principle. But according to the road surveillance video analysis, its acceleration time from zero to one hundred kilometers is less than two seconds. Captain Chen, do you know what that means? That's faster than the world's top supercars!"

Listening to these reports, Chen Jianjun felt speechless.

He felt like he wasn't investigating a car, but studying a UFO.

"The most outrageous part is this." A young engineer in charge of radar and signal analysis pointed to a set of data on the computer screen, his voice trembling. "We illuminated it with radar in different bands, and all signals were completely absorbed, with not a single reflection. We've only seen this level of stealth coating technology in top-secret theoretical documents regarding the development of next-generation fighter jets. Yet, it's being used on a child's car?"

The entire laboratory fell into a dead silence.

Everyone present was an authority in their respective fields. But today, the scientific worldview they had built over decades was shattered by the small toy car in front of them.

'How on earth was this thing made?'

This thought lingered in the mind of every Expert.

They couldn't figure out what kind of genius—or perhaps madman—would stuff this level of black technology into a toy car for a child to drive.

Just as this group of top-tier minds was collectively questioning their lives, in the corner of the laboratory, a young policeman responsible for photographing and archiving evidence was diligently working with a DSLR camera.

His name was Xiao Li, he had just graduated from the police academy not long ago, and he was the bureau's recognized photography enthusiast. The leaders always liked to assign him this meticulous work of photographing evidence.

Xiao Li didn't understand the profound theories the Experts were discussing; he only knew that he had to photograph this incredibly cool car clearly from every angle.

He would crouch down, then lie on the ground, striving not to miss a single detail.

When he crawled almost entirely under the car to photograph the structure of the chassis, he suddenly discovered some strange marks at a very hidden junction of structural components near the rear wheel suspension at the back of the car.

There was a thin layer of dust accumulated there, looking completely unremarkable.

'What is this?'

Out of professional police habit, Xiao Li cautiously reached out and gently wiped away the layer of dust with his fingertip.

The next second, a tiny pattern and characters, precisely laser-etched, appeared before his eyes.

It was a cute cartoon bear head; below the head were five square Chinese characters—Li Family Toy Factory.

"Li Family Toy Factory?"

Xiao Li looked at these words, stunned for a moment, thinking this name was quite down-to-earth.

But immediately after, this name, like a bolt of lightning, violently tore open the floodgates of his memory!

Li Family Toy Factory... Li Family... Toy Factory...

Xiao Li's eyes widened, and his breathing began to quicken.

He suddenly remembered!

It was that man!

It was that silly Streamer in the livestream room who had calmly demonstrated the Swarm Drone, fooled the entire internet, and was ultimately classified as using top-tier special effects!

That Streamer's ID was Factory Director Li! His factory was called Li Family Toy Factory!

He had watched that livestream; at the time, he also thought it was special effects and had even followed the barrage to type 666!

But now...

Xiao Li looked up blankly, staring at the ghost car in front of him—with its heaven-defying performance that had made a group of top Experts question their lives—and then looked back down at the incredibly clear Li Family Toy Factory.

A thought surged into his brain, making his scalp tingle and the hair on his body stand on end.

This thought sounded unreasonable, yet it was exceptionally reasonable!

—The special effects in that livestream were not special effects at all!

—The entire internet had been fooled by that man!

Having figured all this out, Xiao Li felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his skull. He sprang up from the ground, unaware that the camera in his hand had clattered onto the floor.

He pointed at the black miracle car, then at his phone—he wanted to pull up the recording of that livestream. Because of his extreme shock, his expression was twisted, and he opened his mouth several times without making a sound.

Finally, using all his strength, he let out a scream that pierced the dead silence of the laboratory. His voice was filled with shock and sudden realization:

"Damn it! I remember now! It must be him again!"
