Chapter 86 You're a bit like a lump...
After Jiang Fei returned home, she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was almost dark.
Jiutao brought out a chair and Jiang Fei lazily lay on it. The two of them nibbled on the watermelon chilled in cold water. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the yard, giving everything a warm golden hue.
"Anyway, I'll always hate this guy." Jiu Tao munched on the melon and said, "What's wrong with him sending a few people to look for the young lady?"
Jiang Fei didn't care about this. She was just using Wei Mingzhen and had no real feelings for him.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Jiang Fei recalled the description in the book.
Wei Mingzhen is a complete "sister-con," caring more about Wei Ciying than his own wife. Take their previous visit to Jinglian Temple, for example. Despite being busy with official duties, Wei Mingzhen still made time to accompany his sister up the mountain. The bond between these two siblings is truly remarkable.
It would be fine if she was the only one missing. If Wei Mingzhen knew, he would come to save her. But Wei Ciying happened to be missing at the same time, so he couldn't take care of her.
Jiang Fei spat out a watermelon seed and said lazily, "What's there to worry about? If it were me, I would definitely save my own sister first."
Jiu Tao grumbled unconvincedly, "But Miss, you are his wife-to-be."
"You also said you haven't married yet, let's talk about it after you're married. Okay, don't be angry."
Jiang Fei picked up half the melon and stuffed it into Jiutao's arms, then lay back down and talked to the system in her head.
"I always feel like something is wrong."
The system is curious: "What did the host discover?"
"Wei Ciying's appearance was such a coincidence." Jiang Fei narrowed her eyes, recalling the details of the day. "The situation was urgent at the time and I didn't have time to think about it carefully. Later, when I calmed down, I found many suspicious points."
"Hmm, tell me about it."
Jiang Fei sorted out her thoughts: "After I was kidnapped, I woke up in a carriage. I can be sure that I was the only one in the carriage at that time because I tried to struggle. I remember clearly that there was no one else in the carriage. But when I left later, I found that there was only one carriage at the scene. So if Wei Ciying was also kidnapped, then why didn't she appear in the carriage?"
Before the system could speak, Jiang Fei continued her analysis. "Let's take a step back and assume she was brought here on horseback. Then why was there a bag over my head when they tied me up, but not hers?"
The system pondered for a moment: "Perhaps you were the kidnappers' only target, so they only prepared a cloth bag?"
"That's possible," Jiang Fei said, "but even if there's no cloth bag, there should be some kind of cloth strip or something to prevent her from seeing the kidnapper's face. But there's nothing. Are they sure she won't wake up? This doesn't make sense."
"But what's even stranger is the kidnappers' attitude. They seemed particularly..." Jiang Fei chose her words carefully, "particularly, 'polite' to Wei Ciying. They didn't even tie the rope too tight."
"How do you know?" the system asked.
Jiang Fei wiped the watermelon juice off her hands and said, "The marks on her wrists aren't severe, which means she wasn't tied tightly. And she said she was scared, but there were no signs of struggle. How could someone who was truly scared not even struggle? That's human instinct."
The system hesitated and said, "You mean, she might be in cahoots with the kidnappers?"
Jiang Fei slowly shook her head. "Zhao Xingbang admitted from the beginning that he was the mastermind, and no one ever mentioned Wei Ciying from beginning to end. What I still can't figure out is how did she appear there?"
The system said, "I loaded the scene at that time, and at first glance I didn't see any problems. I didn't expect that after listening to your analysis, there would be so many loopholes."
"Ahhh." Jiang Fei scratched her head a few times, and was so scared that the Jiutao melon almost fell off.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Fei calmed down and continued chatting with the system: "In the original novel, Wei Ciying is kind-hearted and hates evil. There's nothing special about this Wei Ciying, but I always feel like something is weird. I don't have any evidence, could it be..."
Jiang Fei suddenly had an idea, "Could it be that she is also a time traveler? She also came here with a mission."
The system immediately rejected it: "But I haven't detected the same energy fluctuations as mine in this world line."
Jiang Fei was shocked, "You can also detect energy fluctuations?"
"I'm very advanced, okay?" the system said proudly. "I'm proficient in quantum physics and artificial intelligence, skilled in the use of modern medical equipment, and fluent in over 200 languages."
"Do you think I can use these functions here?" Jiang Fei rolled his eyes almost to the top of his head.
The system thought for a moment and said, "I can also detect the energy fields of the main characters in this world. For example, Pei Jing's energy fluctuations are particularly strong, like a small walking nuclear reactor."
Jiang Fei almost choked on her own saliva. "Wait, what did you say Pei Jing? Nuclear reactor?"
"Yes," the system's tone suddenly became gossipy, "and recently his energy fluctuations have become increasingly unstable, especially when he's with you. Sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Jiang Fei held his forehead with his hand. "Then where is my energy field?"
"As for you," the system said, "you look a bit like a—"
"Shut up!" Jiang Fei interrupted with gritted teeth, "So what is the function of this function of yours?"
"The function is that it sounds very awesome." said the system.
Jiang Fei rubbed her throbbing temples. "What's the point of installing all these flashy functions? You might as well install a calculator."
"I do have a calculator installed!" the system said aggrievedly. "Do you need me to calculate your current assets? Or plan your dowry?"
Jiang Fei imagined the systems that other travelers brought with them, and suddenly she felt sad. "Other systems come with navigation, universal shopping malls, god-level craftsmen, and invincible medical skills, but you only brought a calculator. Don't you feel sorry for me at all?"
The system said: "I don't think so. Do you still want to bring Gatling?"
Jiang Fei really wanted to fish it out and start shooting at it, and kill all of humanity.
"Meeting a system like you is mine..."
"It's your blessing." The system said first.
Jiang Fei felt hopeless and lay in her chair, tossing and turning in her thoughts about everything that had happened since she traveled through time.
Suddenly, she sat up from the wicker chair.
Jiu Tao was so frightened that she threw away the watermelon rind that had been gnawed until no trace of red remained, and hurriedly supported her. "Miss, why are you so startled today?"
Jiang Fei's fingers suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if he was suddenly struck by an idea.
"System," her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, "If Wei Ciying isn't a time traveler, is it possible that she's been reborn?"
