Chapter 973: Seeking One's Own Demise (Mind Reading Cha

anyi's guardian was updated. The moment Ripple received the notification from the AI brain, she smiled contentedly. This was the first step in cutting off contact with Lianbo.The benefits of the inter...At this moment, within the rippling expanse of her consciousness, she was locked in a fierce struggle with a pink orb of light. It was a battle of teeth and claws, each side refusing to yield an inch.

The stone mill could only watch anxiously. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but the place was the sea of consciousness. If he forcefully entered, it would damage the original body's brain.

And unlike Lianyi, who is a tasker and has Heavenly Dao's protection when entering the original body, he is only a communicator. Currently, he can only nervously watch the battle unfold.

In the end, the final ripple proved superior. As the opponent prepared to self-destruct along with her soul, she swallowed it whole, bringing an end to the battle.

"Ripples, hurry back, the fire is about to reach you!"

The millstone immediately reminded.

"Is the original still there"

"Tell her to go back now!"

"What now"

"Yes, now! This is the perfect time!"

"I understand!"

When firefighters broke in, they found a person lying unconscious on the floor. They immediately picked up the girl wearing pajamas and carried her out of the room.

The ripples have now returned to the Time and Space Administration, digesting the consciousness body's memories.

On the other side, her original self returned to her own body. When she opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling. She felt like she had just had a very long dream.

"Luo Lianyi, are you awake"

A young nurse immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, what's going on How did I get here"

Luò Lián Yī whispered.

"You were brought here by an ambulance. Someone deliberately set a fire, and because it was the middle of the night, you didn't notice and were overcome by smoke."

The little nurse immediately explained.

"What Deliberately set a fire Then what about my house"

Don't worry, the arsonist didn't fare well either. He was so nervous that when he poured gasoline and lit it, he set himself on fire too. He's now in critical condition with severe burns and is still in the intensive care unit, unsure if he will survive.

"Your house burned pretty badly, but the fire has been put out."

Do you know who set the fire

I'm not sure about that, we'll have to wait for the investigation results.

The nurse adjusted the IV drip and then left the ward.

Luo Lianyi lay there daydreaming, replaying her dream in her mind. Then, overwhelmed with joy, she wept. She had escaped her fate of suicide, left that scumbag behind, and even caused him to ruin his reputation. Another Lianyi had done it for her.

She is doing well now. She has a job, income, savings, and can take care of her family. Everything is developing in a positive direction.

As for who the arsonist was, she knew instinctively it was Li Gang.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and two police officers walked in. Seeing Luo Lianyi crying her eyes out, they were both surprised.

Luo Lianyi wiped her tears haphazardly, sat up, and then answered the questions.

"I slept very well at night, but I felt my chest getting tighter and tighter until I woke up choking. When I opened the door to my bedroom, I saw flames pouring in from the doorway. I was terrified."

"Thank you for your cooperation. Because this is a case of arson, we are investigating. The other party seems to have had the same idea of dying together and started the fire. Currently, they are severely burned and haven't passed the critical period."

If you have any clues, please provide them to us in a timely manner.

The elderly officer spoke kindly.

"Officer, I'm a recent graduate this year. Although I studied at this university for four years, I only interacted with students from the same school. I haven't offended anyone in my daily life. I really don't know who would do this."

Luo Lianyi frowned and said.

We understand. If you remember anything, please feel free to contact us.

Seeing nothing from the ripples, the two of them prepared to leave.

Luo Lianyi suddenly said:

"Oh, I remember now. A little over a month ago, I was out shopping and ran into an old college classmate of mine. We had a bit of a disagreement."

Could you tell me more about that

The young officer immediately perked up.

He is named Li Gang. He was expelled from school. When he was in his sophomore year, he pursued me, but I rejected him. However, he was not willing to give up and persisted in harassing me. Later, everyone found out that his sexual orientation was male.

This clue seemed important to him, so the young officer wrote it down very carefully.

"That's how it is, because he was caught at the time, so the school should have records. All of us from our two graduating classes know this."

When I bumped into him on the antique street, I was a little surprised and just said a couple of words. But he seemed unwilling to talk, so in the end I left on my own.

"The clues you provided are important, and we will follow them up."

That afternoon, Luo Lianyi was discharged from the hospital. Because her house had burned down, she went back to collect a few wearable clothes and her valuables, then rented another house near her original residence.

Because ripples were fast and accurate, Li Gang was burned beyond recognition, leaving no fingerprints to be found. It took them some effort to figure out that the person lying in the intensive care unit was Li Gang.

The rest will be easy to solve, it was obviously a revengeful arson, only in the end he burned himself up.

After all this was settled, Li Gang, who was in a coma, was transferred away. Whether he woke up or remained in eternal slumber, he had no chance to cause further trouble.

Li Gang hid the money in the flower bed, and it eventually ended up in Luo Lianyi's hands. She was very careful and gradually invested the money into the stock market. With this capital, she bought an apartment for herself, a car, and provided good learning resources for her younger siblings at home.

In the end, she married the firefighter who had saved her, settling down in Lin City. As a rising star in the securities market, she also made her own contributions to the financial world with her expertise.

In the Time and Space Administration, Liri, dressed in a purple thundercloud-patterned robe, slowly opened her eyes.

How are things

The stone mortar immediately asked.

"My consciousness has been completely devoured. Luckily, I am a thunder attribute spiritual root and have merit protecting me, otherwise he would have truly exploited the situation."

Liàn Yī frowned.

"What does that mean"

This entity is very ferocious. It can devour the souls of taskers and replace them. If such a tasker returns to the Time and Space Administration after completing a planar mission, you know what the consequences would be

With a sullen expression, Lian Yi asked.

Shiju's face changed, immediately linking the several accidents that had happened to their mission department before together.

"Ripple, you go back to rest first. I'll go find Director Cen."

"Wait for me."

The ripples gathered a memory sphere and pushed it towards the stone mill, saying:

This is the memory of that entity, you gave it to your leader.

"Okay, good work!"

Shiju didn't dare to delay. After receiving the memory orb, he immediately sent Lianyi back to space. He then urgently contacted Chief Cen of the mission department.

The ripples returned to their own space and began to meditate.

This time she was lucky in disguise. By devouring that consciousness, she gained the ability to read minds. Although she didn't know if this skill would follow her to other planes to complete missions, it was a gain nonetheless. the news that followed.“Leo, in order to escape the death penalty, used a secret piece of information as a bargaining chip, hoping the Empire would pardon him. The military agreed to his request, and...
