d most of the chores around the house. I was under pressure from your grandmother to do endless housework. Back then, Song Dashan didn't seem lazy at all.Since we split up, all our comrades fell under..."Officer Emil, is there anything else you want to ask"
Ripple raised her eyes.
"Were you on the starship at the time, and did you notice the pirate ship jump to hyperspace near the spaceport"
Emil asked.
“At the time, I only knew that the spaceship had jumped to hyperspace. There was a broadcast on board, and I thought the pirates would jump back to their lair directly. Who knew the ship would appear at the spaceport.”
I also discovered it only after the spaceship stabilized, I didn't know about it beforehand.
"Do you think it was a mistake by the star pirates, or are there other possibilities"
"I really don't know, I had made the worst preparations at the time."
Ripples shook his head.
Emil saw that he couldn't get anything out of her, so he advised Ripples to eat more. After the meal ended, he sent Ripples back to her residence and then drove away.
After returning home, Xiao Liu immediately reported the latest news:
"Ripples, Emile is in contact with Lance, the two disagree. Emile hasn't put you on his list of prime suspects, but Lance insists on his judgment."
It's better to have differing opinions, otherwise I'd have to spend energy dealing with Officer Emil, having Lance is already enough of a headache.
"Don't worry, I will monitor their communications at all times. I will let you know immediately if there is anything unusual."
"You should focus on more important things and see if you can find the first academy's annual pen test questions from the Star Network. I'm going to start practicing."
When you were having a friendly chat with Officer Emil, I had already downloaded the exam questions for you. They are free and there are enough to keep you swimming in them.
"Thanks for your hard work. By the way, could you also help me book a training center with good value for money Preferably one with the latest training capsules, something that caters to both sides of my needs."
"Sure, but because of your financial situation, you can only book during the early morning hours. This time slot is cheaper, and people in similar situations usually book then. There are still plenty of people booking at this time, so it's a bit of a rush. Can you do that"
"What's wrong with that If others can do it, I can too. Just cried poor in front of Officer Amir, so naturally I have to keep up the act."
Ripples immediately agreed.
"Okay, I've already scheduled two days from 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM. Xiaoliu will remind you then and make arrangements for the flying car in advance."
No problem.
Although she could take the levitating bus, due to time constraints and for her own safety, it would be better to hire a car for about federal currency.
Here, the ripples officially entered the study preparation phase, but the attention of the First Federal Academy towards her increased.
Because the original had already signed up for the academy through the Star Network before being replaced by the ripple, and in addition to her performance against the pirate ship this time, she had been put on the academy's assessment watchlist. It was a good start.
Of course, Ripple didn't know any of this. She was diligently brushing through questions, training her physical abilities, and participating in holographic battles through the cultivation chamber.
The Anti-Alliance organization, after investigating for some time, has finally set its sights on Ripple.
Roland is reporting to Mr. Mori:
"Sir, the White Sea trio was killed while verifying the mission of He Lianyi, and our embedded Cloud River on the interstellar ship has also been exposed."
"Bai Hai, Lu Yin, and Jin Zi are dead."
"Yes, their bodies were sent to the Central Star Police Headquarters along with Yun Chuan. I can't interfere in this."
Roland frowned, explaining.
"Do you think the ones who committed murder were pawns we released, He Lianyi"
There is a high probability.
“I want an accurate answer.”
It's her, and there's a high probability she has already awakened her abilities on her own. Because before she went to Planet Lante, our personnel outside of W-star went to her house to retrieve the latest cultivation chamber, and they had a confrontation. This exposed the existence of the genetic clones.
When Roland pieced together all the information he had, he began to suspect Ripple, though he lacked direct evidence.
"If that's the case, send someone to contact her. If she can't be of use to us, eliminate her."
Mori-san said coldly.
Yes, I will arrange it right away.
After the video call ended, Roland issued the latest orders.
That morning, as Lianyi boarded the pre-booked hovercar heading to the training hall, problems arose.
"Ripples, the floating car has deviated from its target location."
Little Six popped out a message first, drawing Ripple's attention from her practice questions.
Right after that, another message popped up:
"Does Xiaoliu need to take control of the flying car and drive it onto the correct path"
"No!"
Ripples danced as fingers flew, forming two characters.
Should I call the police
"Upon reaching the destination, confirm who is behind this and then report to Officer Emil with a fresh lead."
"Got it!"
After the one-on-one brainstorming session ended, Lian Yi lowered her head and continued doing practice problems, pretending she hadn't noticed that she had strayed from the original goal.
"Destination reached." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After the levitating car came to a smooth stop, it automatically opened its doors.
The ripple got off the hovercar and looked around before pretending to have realized she was at the wrong place. She watched the departing hovercar and could only tap her smart brainband, ready to call another one.
It's a pity that some people are destined not to give her this opportunity.
"Miss He Lianyi, please come in!"
A biomechanical automaton in a formal gown respectfully stated.
"Where are we I didn't want to come here. Did you change the hovercar's destination"
Ripple's face turned sullen as she asked.
"We have no ill intentions. We invited you to offer you assistance."
"If you want to give me a subsidy, just ask me openly and honestly. Why are you being so mysterious and using such sneaky ways"
Ripples said dismissively.
"This is our fault, please come in and discuss it further."
The other party was still trying hard to invite.
Ripples spread and shake their heads, slowly retreating backwards.
The next second, the door swung open, and a suction force drew ripples into the room. Apparently, it was the ripples' distrust that made these people impatient.
"Ouch!"
Ripples screamed and was dragged into the silver-pointed house.
Only when she was slammed hard onto the ground did an impatient voice speak up:
"Hé Lián Yī, you really think you're something, don't you You're just a pawn. Best remember your place."
Ripples looked up and saw a long-haired beauty in a black tight-fitting outfit. However, the way she looked at Ripples was condescending, just like the three artificial beings she had encountered before. At first glance, it was clear that she was thoroughly brainwashed.
There was also a man and a woman beside her, both with baby faces. The man with the baby face had just retracted his hand wearing black gloves, apparently he had forcibly dragged Ripples in here.
The ripples rose from the ground and then asked coldly:
"Who are you I don't know you, what do you want from me"
You don't know us, we know you, and we know your history.
"Since more people know about my past, is there anything worth mentioning"
"Hehehe, you don't really think you're the orphan of a martyr, do you"
The long-haired beauty scoffed.
"I am just!"
"Too bad, you're not!"ressed the ripples in mourning clothes, inserting white flowers into her hair bun, and then watched as the two went to the front hall to greet people.Su Clan ripples, greetings to both elders!Ripple,...
