a highway, so there wasn't much foot traffic. Plus, by the time the apocalypse hit, the mall had already closed, so she shouldn't have too many zombies to deal with. Of course, it's possible others ha...Amy rubbed her temples, this was definitely the most difficult case she had ever handled. It involved quite a few people and factions, and she thought she could find a breakthrough in He Lianyi's body, but instead, she was given a warning.

"Are you saying she knows her true identity"

Emil recalled the conversation they had just shared, and tentatively asked.

What do you think

Lans' funny rhetorical question, how did his former girlfriend react to him becoming dull

If she doesn't know, she wouldn't speak along our lines of thought.

Lans said lightly.

"Alas! I was too hasty before, eager to solve the case quickly. I thought that by concealing her true identity, she would trust us wholeheartedly and help us."

But if she knew her true identity, would she not step on the corpses of these people to gain our trust, and then have even grander schemes for the future

Emil asked nervously.

Rhys switched the hovercar to autopilot then turned to Emil.

From her actions since entering the Assessment Star, it appears she has no desire to be associated with the anti-alliance organization. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so decisively.

According to our investigation, over the past thirty years, He Lianyi grew up as a martyr's orphan and on a remote, small planet with a relatively simple environment. The only trouble she caused was buying the latest cultivation chamber with all her savings.

Even if those people broke into the cultivation chambers, they didn't gain anything. Afterward, she chose to take refuge on my planet of Lanter as a way to avoid trouble, and her purpose was also to participate in the entrance exam of the First Academy nearby.

During this process, many things happened around her, but none of them were initiated by her. It was more like the opposing faction was eager to get close to her, from initial probing to later attempts to eliminate her, but most were repelled by her.

Lans has always believed that the four people who died on the interstellar spaceship going to Planet Rante were Ripple's counter-attack, and also her attitude towards the Anti-League organization.

So when ripples entered the central star, they were successively targeted by the black hands of those with superpowers. These people even extended their reach to the examination star of the First Academy, which was something none of them had anticipated.

"Now our pressure is much greater, not just from the federal government, but also from those parents of examinees who were almost victims. They are putting pressure on the director openly and secretly."

Emil smiled wryly.

We understand their feelings, but solving a case isn't just about talking. It takes a lot of hard work. I never agreed with Randy's idea of reading ripple memories in the first place, and now it seems to have backfired.

"So, right now, we better hold strong under the pressure and start piecing together the clues from scratch. I believe we can definitely find the truth."

That's all Lans could offer Emil in comfort.

On the other side, Rand held his daughter and went to the medical room. Seeing her face turning blue as she lay in the medical pod, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his entire body radiated an aura that said "keep away."

"Teacher Rand, your daughter's condition has stabilized. She just needs to go home and rest. However, she should avoid using her mental power for the time being. It's best to let her mental power fully recover before starting recovery training."

The medical officer brought up Randy's data on the screen, explaining it to him as she went, all the while giving him instructions.

"Okay, I got it."

Rand signed his name and took his daughter home.

After Emil and the others left, So-hee greeted the biomechanical robot in charge of managing the dormitory and moved into the single apartment her parents had given her. Having a private space made everything so much easier.

The apartment her parents bought for her was located in the student housing area of the college. It was a unit on an upper floor of a small high-rise building. Although it was a second-hand property, it was well-maintained.

Little Six immediately took control of all the electronic devices in the entire bachelor apartment, while Cyclone leisurely patrolled his territory, familiarizing himself with the environment.

Although it's called a studio apartment, it actually has one hundred square meters of living space. It features a living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one kitchen, with a reasonable layout. It also comes equipped with basic household appliances.

So Ripple could move right in. After she'd organized her belongings, she moved in that night.

The next day, Rand went to the dorm to look for Ripples but found no one there. So he came to the residential area to find her.

"Hello, Teacher Rand."

The ripples greeted politely and then invited the person into the house.

"He Lianyi, I'm here to inform you that you have been accepted into the First Academy and are a specially recruited student. "

During your studies at the First Academy, all tuition fees will be waived. You only need to be responsible for your own living expenses. As for the equipment needed during your studies, you'll need to figure that out yourself.

"Thank you for letting me know. Officer Langs already told me yesterday, so which academy can I go to"

Ripple smiled and asked.

Given your excellent performance during the assessment period, we would like you to pursue full-spectrum training in strategic command, combat tactics, starbeast handling, mech operation, and physical martial arts.

Landy talked for a long time about all the things he'd been learning. Ripples listened, feeling like she wanted to put her hand on her forehead, worried he wouldn't scare her off.

"Professor Rand, are you sure I can graduate if I learn so much"

"Of course, I have high hopes for you."

Rand's answer was firm, expressing great confidence in Ripple.

"Thank you, Teacher Rand, for your appreciation. I will try my best."

What can ripples tell us Learning more never hurts.

After politely seeing off Rand, Ripple contacted Starlight.

Xinghe simply said with a smile after connecting, "This video is so amazing! It's like ripples in the stars."

"Ripple, congratulations on being accepted to First Academy."

"Thank you, and you"

"I was also accepted, and the college has notified my parents. They are planning a celebration."

Xinghe said sheepishly.

Then we should be happy for each other. I live near the Academy, so Professor Rand himself came to tell me.

"That must be because the academy values you. However, all of our squadmates who participated in the rescue were directly admitted and didn't need to take the makeup exam."

Xinghe chatted with a smile about the messages he received.

That's great, what major did you choose

The ripples asked.

“I chose the logistics support department. I know my own abilities, and they are limited. Thanks to my contract beast, Heartsuit, I was able to pass the selection. I might not be good enough for the battlefield, but I'm capable in logistics.”

The Milky Way speaks eloquently, clearly having a well-defined plan for the future.

"It's okay to have goals, but that way we'll probably end up apart anyway, since we're not in the same system."

"Ripple, are you deciding to go to the Command Center"

The Milky Way asked with a smile.

"Well, it's not just this major. Because I have star beasts and alien plants, and also abilities, I guess I'll have to go through all the related departments."

"You're really amazing. I find it stressful to learn just one profession, let alone the whole field. I'm truly impressed!"

Xinghe said with admiration.

"It wasn't what I had in mind; it was Professor Land's suggestion!"ce swing."You ungrateful, devil spawn! You dare to yell at me Do you think no one dares to touch you!"Wen Yun swept the floor with a broom, then swept again and again, before shouting into the room:"S...
