Ch 596: Inspector Lin Da!
In an instant, the two girls who were jesting just now fell silent, showing no resistance whatsoever.
It proves the old saying: You can’t teach people, but you can teach them by doing.
Without Wang Xu stepping up, Zhang Ke and Wu Xia would have kept shouting.
But now that Wang Xu has stepped up, even if they wanted to say something, they would have to think twice.
Especially Zhang Ke, the intense fear in her eyes didn’t seem feigned.
This so-called “tough girl” persona was probably just imitated from videos; she probably hasn’t even seen a real fight.
“Don’t be afraid. As long as you listen to me, I can guarantee you’ll leave here alive!”
I calmly glanced at them, then spoke softly. Of course, this was a bit of a pie in the sky.
Because Lin Da had guaranteed that three out of the seven of us could live.
Now that we’ve dealt with Wang Xu, there are six of us left. Considering our relationships, Lao Dao, Ant, and I are definitely closer.
Of course, Ji Xinglan is also good, provided they provide me with some value.
“Don’t worry, I’ll listen to you from now on, do as you say!”
Ji Xinglan grabbed my hand, her eyes full of affection; her tenderness moved me, reminding me of Xiao Mi.
Looking at the girl before me, I was a little dazed. I don’t know why, but the more I look at her, the more she looks like Xiao Mi. Although their looks are completely different, there’s a special similarity.
“What’s wrong, Uncle Chen?”
Feeling my intense gaze, Ji Xinglan asked questioningly.
I shook my head and gave the same unchanging answer.
After hearing this, Ji Xinglan chuckled.
“It’s clear that person was very kind to Uncle Chen, leaving a deep impression on him. If possible, I’d like to meet them too!”
Ji Xinglan giggled, covering her mouth, and that charm moved me deeply.
“But you won’t be able to. Xiao Mi is dead!”
I felt a little dejected.
I witnessed Xiao Mi’s death; she was my first female partner, in a true sense.
Every time I think of Xiao Mi, I feel a dull ache, especially recently.
I don’t know if my Earth Soul has returned.
Anyway, when I think about it, my heart aches.
But when I started observing Ji Xinglan, I suddenly noticed that she didn’t seem to have much emotional fluctuation.
“That’s not necessarily true. There’s a saying: anything is possible. Maybe your memories were tampered with, and the uncle’s ‘white moonlight’ may not be dead!”
Ji Xinglan said lightly, and this sentence startled me!
Memory tampering!
This isn’t the first time.
“Of course, even if she’s dead, as long as her soul is not extinguished, there’s still a possibility of existence in other ways. So, if you want to see her, there’s still a chance!”
Seeing my emotional response, Ji Xinglan continued.
But for some reason, I increasingly feel a strong connection between Ji Xinglan and Xiao Mi.
“Do you know a girl with the same surname as yours, but with different characters?”
I stared at Ji Xinglan and continued.
Ji Xinglan’s expression remained unchanged.
“Yes! But no matter what, let’s get through this first!”
Ji Xinglan nodded seriously, and her answer calmed me down a bit.
I shook my head, quickly adjusting my emotions.
Ji Xinglan was right. No matter what, let’s get through this first, then talk about other things.
Thus, we returned to our seats to dine. Before the food arrived, Lao Dao quietly poked my back and leaned close to my ear.
“Brother Chen! Do you think something’s wrong with Ji Xinglan?”
Lao Dao first looked around, making sure Ji Xinglan wasn’t looking at us, then spoke cautiously.
“What’s wrong?”
My heart skipped a beat.
As the saying goes, those involved can’t see clearly, but bystanders can. I was talking to Ji Xinglan, so I couldn’t see the situation clearly.
But Lao Dao was behind me, observing us the whole time. If anything happened, he would have the clearest view.
“I can’t put my finger on it, but I feel like she’s being too deliberate, as if Brother Chen is missing something, and she conveniently provides it!
In contrast, the two next to me don’t seem to have this issue!”
After speaking, Lao Dao quickly returned to his seat, afraid of Lin Da’s displeasure.
Sure enough, as soon as Lao Dao sat down, Lin Da’s gaze fell on him. Thankfully, Lao Dao was quick, otherwise he might have been in danger.
I carefully recalled Lao Dao’s words and found them very reasonable. He was right.
That’s Ji Xinglan’s problem: she seems to provide exactly what I’m missing.
I’ve just regained normal human emotions, so my longing for Xiao Mi is deep, and Ji Xinglan has that Xiao Mi aura.
And what she said earlier was guiding me, tempting me.
At this thought, I broke out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, Lao Dao reminded me; otherwise, I might have fallen for it.
Time passed slowly. About three minutes later, the outside became more lively, with servants and maids bringing us course after course of dishes.
In the entire hall, the guests became very happy, each with a genuine smile, as if celebrating a joyous feast.
Lin Da personally brought me the food. I took a look; it was familiar, the same eight dishes prepared for us the day before I went to see Luo Tianhe.
“Honored Guest, this meal is special. Please enjoy it slowly!”
After bringing the food, Lin Da said this slowly.
These unexpected words made me alert again. After Lin Da left, I looked at Ji Xinglan again.
“Open the handbook and see if there’s any special news!”
I quickly ordered Ji Xinglan.
As if inspired, Ji Xinglan took out the handbook and flipped through it quickly. When she reached the end, she found a line of small red characters.
“This is a script game. An Inspector will appear in the game space. Most of what the Inspector says is true; only when their title changes, what they say is false!”
I silently recited these words, feeling a chill.
It feels like a Script Kill, and the red words are the rules.
As for the Inspector, if nothing unexpected happens, it’s Lin Da!
