Once, I wanted to be a good person

In a world of superpowers, Fang Ze transmigrates and assumes the role of a police officer. His initial intent to serve diligently is shattered upon discovering his fabricated identity: he is actually a wanted criminal. The police, having faked his identity, manipulated his memories to identify his associates and planned his capture in a massive operation. To escape this predicament, Fang Ze gains the superpower, the Midnight Investigation Room. Each night, he can investigate targets, hearing their thoughts and obtaining items based on the gathered information. These items include a beauty-preserving mushroom, an unlimited future credit card, a loyal assassin troop, a demon eye for interdimensional insight, a swift-learning kobold, puppet-making seeds, and rock-transforming tapes. Fang Ze uses this ability to gather intel and build his strength, aiming to resolve his crisis. However, solving his case reveals a larger, world-encompassing scheme. Years later, Fang Ze reigns as the King of Darkness, his throne surrounded by the skulls of vanquished foes.
