Chapter 329 Investigation
Bai Zhu and Bai Ye soon noticed that Lan Yuncheng's gaze was full of scrutiny. Bai Shu was outspoken and asked first, "Lan Yuncheng, do you have anything you want to ask us?"
At this moment, Bai Shu and Bai Ye have just obtained new identities and are full of anticipation for the future, but Lan Yuncheng's strange attitude makes them feel a little uneasy.
"Let's go find a quiet place to talk." Lan Yuncheng looked solemn as he led the two to a residential area. There is a house here that is specially prepared for the Baizhu brothers.
"No. 506, this will be your home from now on." Lan Yuncheng gestured for them to enter their personal information at the door, and then walked into the house together.
In the room, the furniture is neatly arranged, home appliances are all available, and even daily necessities are very fully prepared. All of this was carefully arranged by Chen Chuntao herself.
"Wow! We finally have our own house!" Bai Ye was so excited that he couldn't wait to sit down on the sofa as soon as he entered the house. He reached out to pick up the panda pillow and was about to turn on the TV. However, his action was stopped by Bai Zhu.
"Stop making trouble for now and see what Lan Yuncheng wants to say." Bai Zhu turned his head to look at Lan Yuncheng, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Bai Ye then came back to his senses and remembered Lan Yuncheng's meaningful look just now.
Lan Yuncheng sat down on another sofa, raised his hand and projected the information sent by Lan Ximeng into the air, and said seriously: "We found an employee named 'Bai Shu' who disappeared on the day you arrived at Tianquan Star."
"What?" Bai Zhu's eyes fell on the information in the air, and he was surprised to find that the missing Bai Shu was 40% similar to them. He turned to look at Lan Yuncheng and asked, "Do you suspect that we are hiding something?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Lan Yuncheng's tone left no room for doubt. "If Lan Ximeng gets into trouble because of your concealment, I will never let you go."
"I don't remember this person." Bai Shu said seriously, "There are only three of us clones. Even in the memory of the original Bai Shu, I didn't find the existence of this person."
Bai Ye also quickly agreed: "I can also guarantee that this person has nothing to do with us!"
Lan Yuncheng carefully observed the expressions and tones of the two people and determined that they were not lying. He thought for a moment and continued, "Number three among you, Cheng Bai, appeared through a similar method of 'taking over another's body'. Do you think it is possible that this person also used Bai Shu's original memory to 'take over another's body'?"
After hearing this, Bai Zhu fell into deep thought. The possibility that Lan Yuncheng mentioned does exist. After all, they are not sure whether their memory of Cheng Bai is complete.
"Do you still have Cheng Bai's memories?"
"Yes." Lan Yuncheng nodded. They had studied the memories in that memory ball many times. But it only contained Bai Zhu's memories of the five years before his time travel, and it was not complete.
"So, the missing Bai Shu might really be another one." Bai Shu tried hard to recall his experiences, trying to find out if there were any missed clues, but after thinking about it, he was sure that he had not seen any memories related to it.
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Lan Yuncheng decided to leave when he saw that he couldn't get any more information from the two. He looked at the two of them and said jokingly, "By the way, you are both minors now, so... you still have to continue going to school."
Bai Shu and Bai Ye are both fifteen years old. Although their memories are mature, they still cannot escape the fate of going to junior high school according to regulations.
"What!" Bai Shu and Bai Ye jumped up from the sofa at the same time, staring at Lan Yuncheng's departing back in amazement.
"Old ghost, we still have to study!" Bai Ye grabbed his face with both hands, stretching his lower eyelids out, with a look of devastation.
Bai Zhu was not much better off. In his memory, he had already graduated from college, but now he had to go back to junior high and high school. This was hard for anyone to accept. Obviously, for most people, after going through the academic stage, they are not willing to go through it again.
After Lan Yuncheng left Bai Shu and his partner's residence, he quickly returned to the special department and carefully studied the information about the missing Bai Shu again. This person was originally recommended to Lan Ximeng by a headhunting company and had been reviewed by their own people, so there shouldn't be any problems.
The information shows that this person is an orphan with excellent academic performance, except that he is a bit withdrawn and has no friends. He was not like Cheng Bai, who had experienced a sudden family change and a sudden change in temperament after fainting.
"Is this person Bai Zhu?" Lan Yuncheng tapped the table rhythmically with his right fingers and fell into deep thought.
Bai Zhu was born on March 4, 2002 in the S star of Tianquan Galaxy. He comes from an ordinary family. His parents died in a pirate attack when he was six years old, and he became an orphan with no one to adopt him. On June 1, 2024, he graduated from XXX University with a major in gaming, and was hired by Lan Ximeng's company in August of the same year. On March 30, 2025, he mysteriously disappeared from his home on Planet S. Judging from the testimony of the neighbors next door and the surveillance video, he did not go out, as if he had disappeared in an instant.
"His resume is much more normal than Cheng Bai's." After thinking it over again and again, Lan Yuncheng decided to go there in person.
The next day, he took Lu Lige and Lan Ximeng on a speedboat to Bai Shu's home on Planet S.
This is an ordinary single apartment with one bedroom, one kitchen, one bathroom and one living room. As soon as the three of them opened the door, they were choked by the dust that rushed in their faces.
"It seems that no one has lived here for two months." Lan Yuncheng waved his hand, trying to disperse the dust in front of him.
Lan Ximeng nodded. She had seen the layout of this apartment in the information provided by Wang Xing. Wang Xing and the police had come to check before, but found no valuable clues.
The three of them began to search carefully for useful clues in the living room.
Lan Ximeng looked at the coffee table. There were originally some company information on it, but it was later taken away by Wang Xing. Now there were only a few gaming newspapers and magazines left.
"Come and look here." Lu Lige discovered an unusual energy fluctuation under the sofa and immediately called Lan Yuncheng and Lan Ximeng over.
Lan Yuncheng squatted down and reached his hand under the sofa, feeling for the source of energy.
"Found it." Lan Yuncheng pulled out the thing hidden in the sofa with force, and a black button-shaped object appeared in his hand.
"This!" Lu Lige recognized it at a glance. When Lan Ximeng participated in the mecha competition, Cheng Bai had thrown the same button under the virtual cabin where Lan Ximeng was.
Lan Ximeng looked confused and had no impression of this thing. In the past, when encountering such difficult problems, Lan Yuncheng would not tell her the details out of his desire to protect his sister. He would just remind her to be careful of certain people and then tell her that the problem had been solved.
"It's the same thing." Lan Yuncheng took out a box that could isolate supernatural powers from the space and put the button in it. He stood up, looked around, and said to Lu Lige and the others, "Let's go to the bedroom."
While Lan Yuncheng was placing the button, Lu Lige quickly explained to Lan Ximeng the origin of the button and the possible dangers. Afterwards, the two followed Lan Yuncheng closely and walked towards the bedroom, ready to continue searching for clues.
"I always feel that there is something weird about this house." Lu Lige said softly as he walked, frowning slightly. With her keen perception of supernatural powers, she always felt that there was a residual aura of supernatural powers similar to hallucinations in the air here.
But strangely, every time she tried to concentrate on capturing the source and characteristics of this supernatural power, the breath dissipated like smoke and she could not perceive it clearly at all.
