Yu Ling opened his eyes once again in the new world. Just by looking at the noble and elegant environment around him, he knew that he had returned to the modern world.
The soft, melodious piano music filled the air, and on the table in front of him were exquisite dishes and fragrant coffee. This was a high-class restaurant, and the original owner was probably about to enjoy his lunch when Yu Ling possessed him.
Since she wasn't in any dangerous place, she decided to absorb the original owner's memories first. Yu Ling then closed her eyes tightly, pretended to contemplate life, and began to read through all of the original owner's memories in detail.
This is a world similar to the Celebrity Dimension, but instead of celebrities, people idolize detectives and police officers. In this world where everyone loves mystery, bestselling books are all crime-solving works.
The lack of high-tech equipment, such as checking surveillance footage, DNA testing, and luminol reactions, has created a significant obstacle to solving cases.
The original owner was a native of the world named Wen Shiyan. He was a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. He had studied psychology on his own and obtained a psychologist's certificate. He was handsome, elegant, talented, and as good-looking as Pan An. He was polite, courteous, and generous in his dealings with others. By all accounts, he was a gentle and refined gentleman.
To describe it in four words—absolutely perfect!
However, how many villains actually fit this standard protagonist mold? The original owner of this body naturally had his own wickedness, and more than just a little bit.
For example, all of the above descriptions are true, but that is just the original owner's disguise and mask. His true identity is the real culprit in the serial killer case that is currently being investigated by the police... so real that it couldn't be more real!
Wen Shiyan suffers from a severe mental illness. He has antisocial personality disorder, is emotionally detached, incapable of empathy, and shows no fear of death. Fortunately, he is intelligent, has mild mysophobia, and a desire to perform, making it easy for him to pretend to be a normal person.
However, even the most ill person eventually succumbs to their illness. Ever since he encountered a robber with a knife and killed the robber in self-defense, the first time he saw blood made the tight string in his heart snap. From then on, he was out of control.
At first, the original owner, constrained by the law, could only buy some live poultry at the market to satisfy his cravings. However, as his appetite grew, simply processing food could no longer satisfy him. Finally, referencing his act of self-defense, he turned his attention to those heinous criminals who had escaped legal punishment.
Human traffickers who abduct women and children, fraudsters with no moral compass, perverted sex fiends who force themselves on men, women, and children of all ages, unlicensed doctors who treat good people as terminally ill patients—these are all targets the original owner had set her sights on…
Of course, for the original owner, choosing these scumbags to target might just be because he felt they were no different from others. If he chose to eliminate them, he could suffer less social condemnation if he was exposed. Then he eliminated more and more of them. At first, he carefully disguised himself and frequently changed the location of his attacks, but recently it has become too frequent and has attracted the attention of the police in this world.
However, according to the laws of this world, apart from legitimate self-defense and law enforcement by the police, any act of murder is punishable by death, with no exceptions.
According to the original owner's observation, plainclothes officers were already waiting in the vicinity. However, feeling unable to control her desires, the original owner had no intention of hiding any longer and simply decided to give up and wait for death, even going out to eat openly.
After reading all the memories, Yu Ling only wanted to say one thing... Original owner, are you out of your mind?! Why aren't you running away?! What are you eating for?!
Yu Ling has already tried, but this world severely restricts her power. Only the Longevity Turtle Breathing Technique is barely usable; even body-refining techniques are unusable, and it doesn't support any extraordinary power. This makes the difficulty skyrocket!
Knowing that time was not as ample as she had imagined, Yu Ling was about to ask the system to quickly check if there were any cheats available in the store, but it was too late, because a short-haired man who looked sunny and upright had already arrived directly in front of Yu Ling.
Perhaps seeing that Yu Ling had kept her eyes closed for too long, and fearing something might happen, he acted ahead of time. Then, the man stopped in front of Yu Ling and asked, "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"
Facing the possibility of being arrested and executed at any moment, Yu Ling had to focus all his energy on dealing with it, so he naturally couldn't spare the time to secretly contact the system. He replied, "No, I was just thinking about some things. Who are you...?"
This man, unaware that the original owner of the body, Yu Ling, already knew his identity as an undercover officer, continued his pretense, saying, "Excuse me for bothering you, my name is Chen Yang. There are no empty seats nearby, so I'd like to share a table with you. Would that be convenient for you?"
Ha, no wonder there are no empty seats! The original owner had just sat down to order when a bunch of plainclothes officers immediately sat down next to him, and even the waiters were replaced!
Yu Ling knew that even if she refused, this person would find all sorts of other excuses to do his best, so she might as well just meet him directly.
"Wen Shiyan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Yu Ling raised her hand and waved it slightly. "Would you like to share a seat? Of course, please have a seat."
Chen Yang seemed surprised and repeatedly said, "Oh, okay, thank you."
Yu Ling has been dealing with mortals for quite some time since she started her missions, and she also possesses the original owner's social skills. She speaks gently and politely, making people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze. She even politely added dishes to the menu and invited Chen Yang to dine with her. She doesn't seem like a bad person at all.
Chen Yang seemed a little awkward when he first sat down, but seeing that Yu Ling showed no signs of aggression and was surprisingly friendly, knowledgeable, and able to chat with him on any topic, Chen Yang gradually relaxed his guard. After all, Yu Ling was just a suspect... surely he didn't need to treat her like a criminal?
It's clear that Chen Yang is still a naive young man who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life. His eyes are filled with a clear and innocent look.
Yu Ling only chatted with him a few more times like a caring older brother before he opened up to her completely and even hinted that the criminal would be sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve if he surrendered himself.
Tsk, she hasn't completely let go of her self-doubt yet. Well, maybe the police investigated for a long time before finding a clue pointing to the original owner. How could she clear her name with just a few words?
"Chen Yang..." Yu Ling saw that the meal was almost over and didn't intend to linger any longer. She said, "Although you keep emphasizing that we hit it off immediately, I'm not stupid. I can tell there's something behind your words. Why don't you just tell me directly?"
