My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 4 Task Definers

Li Jiuhe turned on the tap, and the sound of rushing water slightly eased the fear in his heart.

He suppressed his worry for his daughter and told himself not to panic or lose his composure.

Although we don't know what to do yet, our real daughter, Li Yi, is still in danger.

But all of this is related to the transmigrator outside who has taken over the daughter's body.

What is this person's intention? Why would they impersonate their daughter from twenty years in the future?

However, it's clear that this time traveler has some understanding of his home.

At this moment, Li Jiuhe felt completely bewildered and had no clue what to do.

But what the time traveler said was true: he had indeed just had his special ability—mission definition—tried.

From the few words this guy uttered, Li Jiuhe guessed that the other party might really need his special ability to help her.

For now, he is not going to expose this person's lies. He will wait until he has fully mastered and understood the ability of "task definition" before seeking a solution.

If he exposes the other party now, Li Jiuhe is not sure if his daughter will be able to come back.

He took deep breaths and washed his face with cold water to try and calm himself down as quickly as possible.

Now that her daughter has been possessed by a time traveler, Li Jiuhe has long accepted all the impossibilities, including that this world is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and that she herself is a special ability user.

He would believe anything, even if it meant saving his daughter, including the Jade Emperor in heaven and the Ten Kings of Hell on earth.

I quickly composed myself, trying to make my expression look natural, while also conveying a sense of novelty and excitement at suddenly seeing my daughter from twenty years in the future.

Li Jiuhe opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

My daughter is sitting quietly on the sofa right now.

Upon seeing Li Jiuhe emerge, they immediately turned their gaze over, scanning his face as if trying to discern his thoughts from his expression.

As Li Jiuhe approached, she quickly withdrew that barely perceptible gaze.

"Xiaoyi, I'm going to the fifth floor now. Tell me more about the unusual events and how to use my special ability."

It's clear that he has now completely accepted that the girl in front of him is his daughter from twenty years in the future, and he has focused his attention on saving his daughter.

Li Yi replied, "This unusual event is actually not complicated, but I only learned about it through future information. There are two people living in the apartment on the fifth floor, and both of them will die tonight, around 3:40 a.m.

Li Jiuhe glanced at the clock on the wall.

It is 3:01 AM.

"How exactly this family died will be something you'll need to explore and solve using your abilities. This is the fastest way for you to master your own abilities," Li Yi continued. "And the abilities of people with special abilities are all different. Your task definition ability allows you to mentally define an event as a task. Once you've done it once, you'll understand."

Li Jiuhe nodded, then tried to define the task of dealing with Yao Yujie's incident on the fifth floor in his mind.

The next second, he noticed that the two semi-transparent words "mission" under the corner of his eye began to move and slowly appeared in the center of his field of vision.

More text appears below.

[Please confirm whether you want to execute the task definition just now?]

"Is that all?"

Looking at the words in front of him, Li Jiuhe didn't expect it to be so simple. The way this ability was used was simply to the point of being able to do whatever he wanted.

Moreover, the whole process is very intuitive, just like playing a game or interacting with a system.

However, another thought quickly popped into my mind.

Li Jiuhe immediately and discreetly cancelled the task definition, instead deciding to define the task as dealing with his daughter's possession.

The text before my eyes has changed.

Sorry, this task has exceeded your minimum time limit and cannot be defined at this time!

Li Jiuhe was taken aback, which meant that his current abilities were insufficient to define tasks that required a long period of time.

The handling of abnormal events on the fifth floor does not take much time, so the prompt just now can be defined as a task.

After gaining a general understanding of this ability, he redefined the abnormal events on the fifth floor.

[Please confirm whether you want to execute the task definition just now?]

"Yes."

[Task definition successful. This task is temporarily named "The Yao Yujie Ghost Incident".]

[Please wait, mission information is being displayed...]

[Title: The Yao Yujie Ghost Case]

[Rank: Level I, Grade D]

[Requirement: Find out why Yao Yujie returned home and eliminate this unusual event.]

【奖励：1、重置点上限增加1点（当前上限5点）；2、奖励1个重置时间锚点。】

[Note: 1. The total duration of tasks you can currently define is 1 hour; 2. There are more clues to be uncovered behind this anomaly.]

In Li Jiuhe's view, all the task information is generated by itself and does not change according to his thinking, but these abilities all belong to him.

In other words, his ability is extremely special, completely different from the superpowers seen in novels or movies.

"Dad, was the task defined successfully?"

Li Yi had been observing Li Jiuhe, and seeing the change in his expression, she asked him a question.

Li Jiuhe nodded: "That should be fine."

Li Yi reminded him, "Dad, remember, you currently have two reset points, which allows you to reset this mission twice. In fact, including the first time, you actually have three chances to experience this mission."

Li Jiuhe nodded: "I know, it's like playing a game. If I fail in the process, or if something irreversible happens, I can choose to reset and start over. Everyone, everything, and all things involved in this mission will return to the beginning of the mission."

"Yes," Li Yi continued to explain, "but your reset is limited to that task. People, things, and events outside the task will not be affected. For example, in my opinion, you only went up once and completed it. I didn't know you might have reset it several times."

"Are these things told to you by my future self?" Li Jiuhe asked.

"Of course, otherwise how would I know?" Li Yi nodded.

"Who knows how you would know?"

Li Jiuhe pondered to himself, but outwardly remained calm as he walked to the living room door and asked, "Should I take some garlic, a knife, or other self-defense items?"

"If those things could handle anomalies, then your special abilities would be useless." Li Yi shook her head with a smile. "Dad, don't be afraid. I can tell you with certainty that there are no ghosts in this world!"

Li Jiuhe breathed a sigh of relief. He had already stepped out of the living room door with one foot, but his doubts only grew stronger.

"If there were no ghosts, then what was that woman covered in blood that I saw?"
