Luo Qili glanced at the stains in the toilet, her stomach churning.
"Did your future self... really say that?"
Zhao Yi nodded, "Yes... although I really want to help you with this dirty work."
"But if we accidentally change something, leading to unknown changes in the future, that wouldn't be good..."
Luo Qili was taken aback by Zhao Yi's words, scrutinizing his face filled with 'sincerity' with a doubtful gaze.
Hmm... doesn't seem like he's lying.
Luo Qili gritted her teeth, rolled up her sleeves.
Bent over.
Stuck her butt out.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, she reached her hand into the toilet.
The black slime was like a non-Newtonian fluid, sticky and slippery to the touch.
As Luo Qili stirred it continuously, it made a 'gurgling' sound.
Soon, she found the film roll and, with a look of utter disgust, went to the corner to rinse it with tap water!
Zhao Yi stood by the desk, examining the many documents laid out on it.
The documents were carefully decorated with kraft paper and tied with string.
On the corners of the documents, there were some strange words.
—(crossed out) Foundation.
"Foundation?"
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise.
A new clue.
Opening the folder, it contained a set of experimental data, with X-3 written on the cover.
Seeing these three characters, Zhao Yi got excited!
"Another X series... so this series of experiments is related to the Foundation?"
"So, the underground experimental base at Rockridge High School, Li Sheng, the Mayor of City A... are all part of the Foundation's influence?"
"Could it be that this time's Tide of Demon Spirits theme is also connected to the Foundation?"
Zhao Yi's mind raced.
(crossed out) Foundation.
A vast and extremely mysterious organization.
[We control, we contain, we protect...]
Cute my ass!
After a brief silence, she followed the clues to analyze further:
"So... the murderer isn't this boy, but the Director who was made into X-3 by the boy?"
Zhao Yi replied, "Not exactly."
"Strictly speaking, both are murderers."
"It's just that the boy is an indirect murderer, while the Director is the direct murderer."
"The boy's mother threw him into the asylum back then, probably because she discovered he was a freak..."
"Apart from being mentally unstable, he likely had other extraordinary abilities... like being able to run and pee at the same time!"
Luo Qili: ?
Live Streaming Room: ?
Hmm...
Seems like a rather strange example.
"So... there are two murderers?"
Luo Qili wasn't slow-witted; she quickly grasped the situation.
"Yes."
Zhao Yi fell into recollection.
"Actually, from the moment I started suspecting the boy, I was curious... all the other clues and guesses made sense... the only thing that didn't was his scent."
"There wasn't a hint of blood on him."
"That's what made me hesitate."
"Now I finally understand... he didn't leave his room to kill... "
"But to give orders for the Director to kill!"
This explains why there was no blood scent on the boy.
"Doesn't that mean... the Director is in this secret passage now?"
Luo Qili instantly became tense!
A monster capable of silently killing three players... definitely not an ordinary foe!
If it's in this secret passage... doesn't that mean the two of them are already in danger?
"If the Director was modified as a vessel, then X-3 likely has no vision, only hearing."
Zhao Yi speculated, and just then, the phone suddenly rang.
Ring ring—
They exchanged a glance, and Zhao Yi answered the phone.
Inside... it was Luo Qili's voice!
"Hello?"
"Zhao Yi... you SOB!"
"???"
"Dammit! Clearly, your future self told you to get the film from the toilet, but you tricked me into doing it!"
Zhao Yi coughed a few times at her words.
"Cough cough... don't mind the details."
"Give the phone to me!"
"Alright!"
Zhao Yi handed the phone to Luo Qili, who took it, and after a brief silence, her gaze towards Zhao Yi gradually turned murderous!
"Hmph!"
She couldn't do anything to Zhao Yi, so she just snorted to express her dissatisfaction.
Hung up the phone.
A strange sound suddenly came from outside the wall.
The sound was thick and eerie, like a blob of mud sticking to the wall, beginning to... squirm.
The two immediately heightened their senses, hiding in the corner.
Outside, the nearby corridor was lined with Luo Qili's Soul Weapon sharp threads.
If these threads, sharper than blades, were disturbed, Luo Qili would sense it immediately.
As the strange sound got closer, Luo Qili's body began to tremble...
The opponent passed through her Soul Weapon!
But it didn't die!
And through the vibrations from the Soul Weapon, she could see the situation outside in advance!
"What... on earth is this thing..."
