82: Let's get Nuonuo an identity first.

"Captain Yang, you flatter me. I've learned a bit of martial arts, but it's just a bit of a Skill, nothing worth mentioning."

Qin Shou smiled modestly, feigning humility.

"Haha, Brother Qin, you're so young, yet not only are you capable, but you're also so humble. That's remarkable! I, Yang Weiguo, have decided to be your friend."

Yang Weiguo was a straightforward person who particularly liked capable individuals. How could he not see that Qin Shou's Skills were far from ordinary? Even among the elites of the Criminal Police Team, probably few could defeat him. He had a rough estimate of Qin Shou's strength and immediately felt the desire to befriend him.

"Brother, are you okay?"

While the two were talking, Nuo Nuo had already reverted to the appearance of an ordinary little girl. She trotted over to them with light steps.

Nuo Nuo's bright, watery eyes blinked, her small face filled with concern as she stared intently at Qin Shou.

"Brother is fine, Nuo Nuo, don't worry."

Qin Shou looked at Nuo Nuo's anxious little face and felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that having such a little daughter wouldn't be bad at all. Qin Shou smiled and stroked Nuo Nuo's delicate little cheek, the touch soft and smooth, making him reluctant to let go.

"Hehe, it's good that Brother is fine!"

When Nuo Nuo heard Qin Shou say he was fine, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face, making her even more adorable.

"Wow, whose porcelain doll is this? She's too beautiful and too cute."

Xue Min, standing nearby, saw such an exquisitely delicate little girl and instantly felt her girlish heart swell with affection, wishing she could run over and hug Nuo Nuo immediately.

However, when Nuo Nuo saw Xue Min, she frowned slightly, showing some resistance towards her. She instinctively retreated a few steps behind Qin Shou.

"Darn it, she won't even let me hug her!"

Xue Min had fallen in love with Nuo Nuo at first sight, and now seeing that Nuo Nuo wouldn't let her hug her, she felt a wave of disappointment and was a bit annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.

Qin Shou looked at Xue Min's girlish expression and couldn't help but smile as he said to Nuo Nuo, "This is Big Sister Xue Min, she's Brother's good friend, and from now on, she'll be Nuo Nuo's good friend too, okay?"

"Brother, what is a good friend?"

Nuo Nuo blinked her big, watery eyes, looking puzzled.

"A good friend is the best and most important person, just like Brother, understand?"

"Oh, Nuo Nuo understands."

Nuo Nuo thoughtfully propped her chin and then nodded vigorously.

"How does she look, as if she's somewhat naive about the world?"

Yang Weiguo, standing by, saw that Nuo Nuo didn't even know what a good friend was, and couldn't help but frown, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

"I rescued her from the headquarters of the Blood God Cult. When I found her, she was already somewhat dazed from fright and couldn't remember anything."

Qin Shou quickly explained, simultaneously activating his Skill, lest Yang Weiguo and Xue Min disbelieve him and see through his facade.

"Nuo Nuo isn't silly, Nuo Nuo is very smart."

Hearing Qin Shou say she was scared silly, Nuo Nuo immediately became indignant, puffing out her cheeks and muttering in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, alright, you're the smartest, okay!"

Xue Min smiled and stroked Nuo Nuo's head, her fingers gently brushing Nuo Nuo's soft hair. An inexplicable pang of sadness welled up in her heart, feeling that this adorable little girl was truly too pitiful, having suffered such misfortune at such a young age.

After hearing Qin Shou's words, this time Nuo Nuo did not shy away.

"Hmph! These bastards are worse than beasts! To not even spare such a small girl."

Upon hearing this, Yang Weiguo could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He angrily punched a nearby tree trunk, letting out a dull thud.

Seeing this, Qin Shou confirmed that Yang Weiguo and Xue Min had believed his words, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, having finally managed to pull it off.

"Brother Yang, she doesn't remember anything, and now she has no identity. I have an idea: I want to adopt this little girl. I wonder if the Police can help me get her an identity?"

Qin Shou struck while the iron was hot, presenting his request. In today's society, if he wanted to adopt Nuo Nuo without getting her a proper identity, it would be impossible to proceed.

"That's easy to say. Brother Qin, how about this: our Police will first try our best to find her birth parents. If we find them, I think it's better to return the child to her parents. If we really can't find them, then I'll help her get a new identity, and you can adopt her as her guardian. Do you have any objections, Brother Qin?"

"Then thank you, Brother Yang," Qin Shou said gratefully.

Yang Weiguo waved his hand and smiled, "Brother Qin, what are you saying? This is our duty as Criminal Police Officers."

It must be said that Yang Weiguo was thoughtful in his actions, his first thought being to find Nuo Nuo's birth parents. However, Qin Shou wasn't worried at all, because Nuo Nuo was a cultivated demonic corpse; she had no parents to speak of. If there were any, it would be Old Ghost, the leader of the Blood God Cult, whom she had personally killed.

"I don't want to find any birth parents; I want to stay with Brother."

Unexpectedly, when Yang Weiguo said this, Nuo Nuo disagreed. She tightly hugged Qin Shou's arm, shaking her little head like a rattle-drum, and said firmly.

"Nuo Nuo, be good. Even if Nuo Nuo finds her daddy and mommy later, Brother can still stay by Nuo Nuo's side!"

Qin Shou, fearing that Nuo Nuo would reveal too much, quickly comforted her, and at the same time, he also activated his Skill on Nuo Nuo.

"Brother really won't leave Nuo Nuo?"

It must be said that Qin Shou's Skill was indeed effective, even on a little girl of a few years old.

Nuo Nuo, after hearing Qin Shou's words, indeed showed a hint of hesitation in her eyes, looking a bit confused.

"Of course, Brother will never leave Nuo Nuo."

Qin Shou nodded solemnly.

"Hehe, that's good then."

After hearing Qin Shou's promise, Nuo Nuo immediately brightened up, revealing a radiant smile.

"Yes, Nuo Nuo, Big Sister will also stay by Nuo Nuo's side! Don't be afraid, those bad people from the Blood God Cult can't bully Nuo Nuo anymore."

Xue Min, watching Nuo Nuo's innocent and adorable appearance, felt a pang in her nose again. She thought this little girl was truly too pitiful, having experienced so much hardship at such a young age. She must have suffered endless torment from those devils of the Blood God Cult, which is why she was so dependent on Qin Shou.

Qin Shou, standing by, secretly mused to himself, "The Blood God Cult bullying her? The Blood God Cult was wiped out by her."

"Blood God Cult! That name sounds so familiar!"

After hearing these three words, an almost imperceptible red glow flashed in Nuo Nuo's eyes. Her little fingers gently rubbed together as she fell into contemplation, clearly arousing a trace of her memory.

Qin Shou's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Oh no, don't tell me she's remembering."

"Nuo Nuo, that's enough, don't overthink things. We should go down the mountain and go back. We'll go down the mountain to help Nuo Nuo find her daddy and mommy."

Qin Shou quickly changed the subject, not daring to let Nuo Nuo continue to recall.

"Hehe, alright then, I'll allow you to help me find my daddy and mommy!"

Saying this, Nuo Nuo pointed at Yang Weiguo, her thoughts already pulled back from her previous confusion, returning to her innocent and lively self.

"Captain Yang, quickly go check the Blood God Cult's lair, something has happened!"

No sooner had Nuo Nuo finished speaking than a young Criminal Police Officer came jogging towards the three of them, panting. His face was pale, he was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and his urgent expression even carried a hint of fear.
