[Ancient to Modern] I Became an Enthusiastic Little Chicken Who Fights the Darkness

When Shen Ruize opened his eyes, he had transmigrated from ancient times into the middle of being buried alive. He was the one being buried.

There was also a still-fresh corpse beside him.

He promptly kicked the killer away with a rabbit kick and successfully saved himself.

But because someone had brutally cracked him over the head while he was unconscious, his body ended up in the hospital, while his soul (?) inexplicably turned into a little yellow bird that kept showing up at crime scenes.

Even stranger, his eyes had mutated. Every time, he saw the criminals with... their own creepy underworld filter (?)

The little bird pondered.

The little bird decided to latch onto someone powerful.

Fu Jun was accosted by a cockatiel.

The strange thing was, this little yellow bird seemed unusually intelligent.

Thanks to a few words the bird occasionally blurted out, Fu Jun found a spot where a body had been buried and rescued a seriously injured, unconscious person.

The man had long hair and looked like he was cosplaying in ancient clothing. Yet he had no identification at all, as if he'd suddenly popped out of some remote corner of the deep mountains.

Nobody knew how he got hurt or where he came from, and the only person who could answer was still unconscious.

Officer Fu soon had to put the man out of his mind, because after adopting the little yellow bird, his world seemed to change.

There were inexplicably more cases.

Criminals somehow kept running straight into him.

Old unsolved cases gradually found their culprits.

His colleagues and superiors also started giving him some very odd looks.

...How was he supposed to explain to his colleagues and superiors that the criminals had absolutely nothing to do with him, and that his bird ancestor was just an innocent bird who happened to wander into crime scenes every single time?

One day, after happily petting his bird while working hard to catch criminals, the fastidious bird ancestor, who only ate specially made bird food, suddenly disappeared!

Fu Jun felt like the sky had fallen.

He searched and searched, but couldn't find his bird ancestor. Then a new case came up, and the same suspicious person kept appearing at the crime scene.

This talent for finding crime scenes... wasn't it just like his bird ancestor?

And those eating habits and little mannerisms...

The red-eyed detective, who had been searching for his bird, grew more and more suspicious.

Wait, wasn't this the person he'd found unconscious at a crime scene, the one who had been out for over half a year?

And besides Fu Jun, the relevant authorities were gradually turning their attention to him as well.

Shen Ruize, under scrutiny: "???"

...I'm really not a murderer. Poop-scooper... I mean, Officer Fu, come save your bird!

Relevant authorities: ?

Relevant authorities: "Mr. Shen, would you be interested in joining us and putting your... special talents to use?"

Shen Ruize: "?!"

Having used his bird form to become familiar with this world, Shen Ruize let out a shrill chick cry: "Can I sign the contract right now?!"

Oh my god, after going through untold hardships (?) and suffering (?) as neither human nor ghost (?) for more than half a year, could he finally get a government job again, hundreds of years later?

He could do it! Please make it a lifetime contract, thank you!

The cover shows a chick, but the little bird in this story isn't actually a chick. It's an affectionate name for the cockatiel (stern face).
