Wang Yan, unaware of Xia Chuhe's thoughts, quickly explained according to his own understanding: "Sister Xia, don't worry, the body disposal center handles it very cleanly. They'll definitely be burned to ashes that no one will recognize."

"If, and I mean if, someone wanted to steal a body from yesterday's morgue, do you know how to do it?"

Wang Yan: "Sister Xia... I suggest that anyone who wants to steal a corpse could pretend to be dead and try to sneak in."

Xia Chuhe pondered: "Hmm...it seems somewhat feasible."

"I was just kidding, sis! If you sneak in, you'll be burned to ashes!" Wang Yan exclaimed in despair.

Xia Chuhe: "I was just kidding."

Xia Chuhe then asked, "By the way, how long does it usually take for a body sent to the recycling center to be disposed of?"

“Under normal circumstances, it will be handled within three to five days. If there is an accident with a large number of deaths, it may take longer.”

Therefore, there are still two to four days to fulfill Hu Xue's request.

Ask the steward about the official organization, the body disposal center; you might get some unexpected information.

The housekeeper is now also a member of the Tianya Forum. Xia Chuhe found him directly from the forum: Can you help me find a job?

Butler: Please tell me, we should be able to arrange some lower-level positions for you.

Xia Chuhe: I want to work at a body disposal facility.

Butler: This workplace is indeed in line with your style.

The housekeeper didn't say whether he could arrange it; I guess he's trying to pull some strings.

Xia Chuhe remembered the method for corpse disposal on the official forum and hurriedly asked the Queen of Xiliang for some supplementary information.

(Anonymous) Sympathetic Farmers: [Which base is the body you're looking for located at?]

(Anonymous) Queen of Xiliang: [Uncertain, most likely at the North Tiger Base.]

North Tiger Base...

The place where everything began.

Xia Chuhe added the keyword "Northern Tiger Base" to the housekeeper's message and waited for a reply.

During the wait, the cooldown of the Eye of Malice ended, and Xia Chuhe was going to see who was the most malicious towards him.

Are they from the Black Mountain base?

Or are they from Jin Zhong's side?

Or is it the lighthouse that has vanished?

Xia Chuhe thought she was mentally prepared, but the person projected into her mind still greatly surprised her.

The person who harbored the most malice towards her was herself.

————————

Here's a little hint about the nickname of the Queen of Xiliang: In "Journey to the West," the Queen of the Women's Kingdom doesn't have a specific name; she's usually referred to as the Queen of Xiliang.

————————

The images fed back by the Eye of Malice were firmly imprinted in Xia Chuhe's mind.

That was her face, that was her body.

Amidst the ruins, "Xia Chuhe," holding a steel bar, expressionlessly pierced the skull of a mutated dog.

Xia Chuhe couldn't understand why he was seeing himself.

She hasn't had suicidal thoughts for a long time, nor has she ever done anything like stabbing a dog in the head.

Unless... this person isn't her, but someone who looks like her.

Twins?

But her parents never mentioned that she had a twin sister.

Does she... have one?

Xia Chuhe suppressed his shock and carefully compared himself with the person in his mind.

Only after calming down and looking closely did Xia Chuhe realize that this person was definitely not himself.

My own eyes are slightly upturned, while this person's eyes are flatter.

I have a very small mole on the right side of my nose, but this person doesn't.

Most importantly, this person's eyes were numb and fierce, looking like an evolved being who had just experienced a fierce battle, quite reminiscent of... Lu Dangui's charm.

This is completely different from my own style—a neurotic girl who intermittently lies down, not completely giving up, and raised in the civilized world.

If we're certain she's not us, then who is she? And why is she so hostile towards us?

Regardless of whether they are twins or not, Xia Chuhe first ruled out his experiences before transmigrating, so it must be related to what happened after he transmigrated.

Xia Chuhe had been so busy chasing clues and looking ahead that he had never thought about what would happen afterward. Now, thinking back, he realized that many things didn't make sense when he first arrived in the wasteland.

For example, her identity.

In front of others, Xia Chuhe fabricated the identity of an upper-class person who had fallen to the lower class due to a misfortune.

But she knew in her heart that she had appeared in the wasteland out of thin air. Therefore, there should be no information about her in the wasteland.

However, whether it was the recruitment by the North Tiger Base after discovering the error in the judgment, or the successful entry into the Caishi Base, there was one prerequisite—the base recognized Xia Chuhe's identity.

This indicates that there was once a "Xia Chuhe" in the base, and the information he left behind corresponds perfectly with her.

Xia Chuhe was able to live at the base entirely by taking the place of another "Xia Chuhe".

A chill spread through Xia Chuhe's heart.

It's also quite simple to verify this.

Xia Chuhe contacted the housekeeper again: I have some new ideas recently and need to use some old materials. Can you help me find them?

She had originally prepared many explanatory words, but before sending them, she felt they were unnecessary.

The butler probably knows more about the connection between the wasteland and himself than Xia Chuhe himself does.

The housekeeper replied quickly this time: What a coincidence! When I was looking for a job for you, I came across a file about you. Some of the information was quite interesting, so I looked into it further.

The housekeeper sent over a large document.

The first page of the document is a file. The file owner is named Xia Chuhe. In the upper right corner is a photo of Xia Chuhe in his youth, who looks like a clear-eyed college student.

If you didn't deliberately look at the person's eyes and mole in the photo, Xia Chuhe would definitely mistake this photo for his own ID photo.
