Chapter 367: Strange World (End of the Chronicles)
Lianyi put this makeup box with special meaning into the space. As she returned to Suzhou and got off the train, she saw the kind and tearful face of her original body's mother. Lianyi returned her body and the makeup box to her original body. At the moment of leaving, she saw her original body throw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears.
Lianyi returned to the Space-Time Administration, and Shijiu, who was waiting for him, said with a smile:
"Tasker, you completed your mission this time very smoothly. Your original body chose to go back and live out the rest of his life, but gave a very high score to the counterattack mission, giving almost 80% of his soul power.
She was also very satisfied with Zhao Jingcheng, whom you helped her choose. The two of them kept in touch during the four years of college, and they visited each other's schools. Finally, after graduating from college, they got together. Although their lives were bumpy, they were warm and they had a son and a daughter. "
"With Zhao Jingcheng's intelligence, he should have discovered the difference between my original body and mine!"
Ripple asked with a smile while playing with her fingernails.
"Yes, he found out, but he didn't ask."
Shijiu had a very clear grasp of the situation.
"Smart guy."
"What's up with that Chen Jiashu? His calculations have been so targeted over and over again."
"Well, this world has also been disturbed. Chen Jiashu dreamed about things from his previous life."
Shijiu knew that he couldn't hide the truth from the perceptive Ripple Ancestor, so he just told the truth.
"Oh, I don't know whether this is helping him or accelerating his demise. The dream is too beautiful, and the reality is too painful. It will make him more unscrupulous. If he is more cunning and has been dormant since then, he may be able to use his own foresight to push himself to a new peak in the future. What a pity!"
Ripple said with a smile.
“Who says it’s not true? But we don’t allow such people to exist, so he died in a prison fight, and the bug has been eliminated.
If similar incidents occur again during the mission, I will notify the tasker in time, and you can rest first."
Shijiu tapped the light screen in front of him several times, and then the ripples disappeared in the white room with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Shijiu breathed a sigh of relief. He now understood why the tasker, Patriarch Lianyi, was targeted. It was simply because the other party was too perceptive. Although Chen Jiashu was not on the original body's revenge list, the tasker was always keeping an eye on the mastermind behind the scenes, and he actually found some clues.
"I hope that the subsequent tasks will go smoothly and no more problems will occur."
Shijiu muttered a few words under his breath.
Lian Yi smoothly slid into a body again. During the fusion process, she found that her body was getting hotter and hotter, as if there was a ball of fire burning inside her body.
She opened her eyes suddenly and found herself in a Chinese-style bedroom. There was a hurried knock on the door:
"Master! Master! Are you okay? If you don't say anything, I'll rush in!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang" sound, and the person outside was really banging on the door.
Lianyi frowned and did not accept the memory of her original body. She did not understand the situation, but she instinctively determined that she must not let the people outside the door discover her abnormality, so she moved her spiritual consciousness, and the relic that merged into her soul immediately emitted a soft golden light, calming the restlessness in her body.
At this time, the door was also knocked open, and a young man in a white suit rushed in. The first thing he saw was Lianyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The two looked at each other, and the man felt a little guilty. Then he immediately bowed his head, clasped his fists, and said in a low voice:
"Master, I am being presumptuous! I thought you were tricked by someone else, so..."
"Are you rushing in here to make fun of me, your master, or to take my life while I'm sick?"
The pleasant yet dangerous sound of Lian Li entered the man's ears, making his saluting posture a little stiff.
"My disciple dare not!"
"It turns out that I don't dare, not that I don't want to!"
"Master, how dare I have such thoughts? Please don't wrongly accuse me."
The man in white knelt on one knee and lowered his head even lower.
The relic had taken effect, suppressing all the heat in Lianyi's body. She then lifted her feet and stepped off the bed. Her black sleeveless long skirt swayed gently as she walked. The hem of her skirt was faintly embroidered with red Lycoris radiata, making her look even more mysterious.
Lianyi walked barefoot in front of the man, and her round toes painted with red cardamom caught his eye.
When the young man was distracted, the beautiful foot was quickly raised and kicked the man out of the door, which caught the other party off guard.
After being kicked out, the young man hit the snow-white wall and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He raised his head suddenly, looked at Lianyi in disbelief, covered his chest and murmured:
"Master."
Lianyi also walked out of the antique bedroom inside and came to the hall outside which was also decorated in Chinese style.
"What? Was it because I was too gentle in the past that you forgot the rules of respect and dared to break into my bedroom without my permission?"
Lianyi raised her delicate hand, with bright red nail polish on her fingernails, which made her fingers look even whiter and more beautiful. At this time, she walked towards the man, bent down, raised her hand and pinched his shoulder, and asked casually:
"Tell me, why did you force your way in?"
"At the banquet, I saw Master blocking a glass of wine for Master Yao, and then his face looked a little strange. In less than half an hour, Master left early. I was worried so I followed him. Then when I saw that Master didn't reply, I forced my way in. I definitely didn't mean to interrupt Master's practice."
The man immediately explained that he could feel the hand that was squeezing his shoulder getting stronger and stronger, and he could even seem to hear the sound of his bones cracking. He was a little annoyed at this moment and thought he should wait a little longer before coming in.
At this moment, he had no idea whether his master was really okay, or just pretending to be okay, or was forcibly suppressing the discomfort and preparing to send him away and then detoxify him.
Lianyi keenly sensed the other party's guilt and distraction, so she crushed his shoulder with force and grabbed his neck with her other hand. She was used to nipping all crises in the bud, no matter whether he was her apprentice or not.
"Master."
The man seemed to be shocked as well. He squeezed out two words from between his teeth, with fear in his eyes.
Lianyi remained unmoved and directly grabbed the other person's neck, pushing the 1.85-meter-tall man against the wall, slowly increasing the strength in his hands.
One of the man's shoulders was crushed, and his arm was drooping, unable to exert any strength. With his other hand, he tightly grasped Lianyi's wrist, trying to pry her wrist open, but his face had turned purple, and he was unable to shake Lianyi's grip.
"Tasker, please spare this man's life for now. He is a key person in this mission. Without him, you will take a detour, which will be detrimental to the completion of the mission. In addition, you are in a society ruled by law, so please be a good citizen who abides by the law."
The sound of the mortar rang in Lianyi's ears at the right moment.
