o show off his presence and got a beating from me"Du Zi Feng, after hearing this, turned his head to look at Lian Yi, nodding thoughtfully."At that time, I attacked his spiritual sea.""What"When rippl...After Ripples personally took back the whirlwind, she gave him a set of demon cultivator's techniques and then, together with the restored whirlwind, they practiced for three days. Then, she sent the little guy back to his own personal space so that he could cultivate himself.
When the tornado reaches the third stage, the little guy will remember what happened in the disaster plane. When the time comes, after signing a soul contract with Ripple, he can go to other planes with her. However, the same goes for becoming a demon cultivator, the strength of the tornado will also be suppressed, but this is nothing to Ripple.
After returning, Lian Yi specially asked Shi Ju about the progress of the joint mission regarding the cultivation realm.
"I have not received a reply yet."
"Are the candidates already chosen Are you too embarrassed to tell me"
Ripple asked suspiciously.
"You're overthinking it. Based on your completion rate, you shouldn't be dropped. However, there was a slight oversight, so we've been waiting for notification."
The stone mill stall owner explained.
What happened
Ripple asked curiously.
"Do you still remember when you were in the vampire dimension, data transmission not only malfunctioned but also sent you incorrect information"
"Remember, at the time I felt something was off, so I didn't take the subsequent messages as a reference."
Of course, ripples have impressions. Aside from the time she returned to the Temporal Management Bureau, where a transmission channel malfunction caused Stone Mill to temporarily send her to another plane of existence for safety, there has never been a sudden interruption in their connection.
"The last time was because an unknown signal impacted the system, causing it to activate emergency procedures and disconnect from you proactively. I only contacted you after the repairs were completed."
This time the cultivation world's mission is related to that unknown data. The Administration is handling it urgently, and I heard they've contacted the big shots above. So the mission will have to wait a bit longer.
The millstone told Ripple everything it knew, after all, it wasn't a big secret.
"I understand, then there's no need to rush. I'll still proceed with my tasks as usual."
"Okay, I've selected a good task for you here that would be a great fit."
The stone mill immediately said.
The ripples slid smoothly into a body, and when she opened her eyes, she was standing in a graveyard. The sky was overcast and drizzling lightly, the entire graveyard eerily silent. Someone approached and placed a white flower on the tombstone, followed by another person, everyone silently offering their white flowers.
Ripple lowered her head, seeing the white flower tightly held in her hand. She felt very uncomfortable inside. She didn't need to think about it to know that this was the original owner's emotions.
She raised her head again, looking at the photo on the tombstone. It was a middle-aged man in a police uniform, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving off an air of righteous sternness. Now it had become a black and white photo. The tombstone read his name and birth and death dates.
Liàn Yī calculated that the other party was only forty-two years old, right in the prime of life with both parents and children. So when he turned his head, he saw a woman in her forties with streaks of white at her temples. Her eyes were red and swollen, and beside her nestled a girl of about twelve years old. The girl's eyes were also red, clearly understanding what the loss of her father meant.
By the end, ripples remained. An elderly man approached and patted Ripples on the shoulder, saying:
"Lian Yi, go say goodbye to your master. He's just waiting for you, his only disciple."
Okay.
Ripples opened his mouth, but his voice was a little hoarse.
She was the last one to walk over, placing the white flowers on the tombstone. Then, she respectfully bowed three times before turning towards the family, her voice trembling as she began to speak:
"Auntie, please accept my condolences!"
"Hmm!"
The woman nodded tearfully, forcing back her tears, while the little girl looked up at Ripples' eyes and said seriously:
"Uncle Lian, you must catch the bad guys who hurt Dad!"
"I will, I promise you."
Ripples solemnly pledged.
Then she reached out and touched the little girl's head, bowed to the woman, and turned to leave. However, she didn't go far, seeking shelter from the rain in a distant corridor. She waited until the woman with the child had left. By this time, the rain had stopped, and she slowly walked back to the tombstone, beginning to receive the memories of her original self.
This time, Ripple's mission target is a police officer named Lian Yi. He graduated from the police academy and joined the city's Criminal Police Squad One right after. His mentor was the late Captain Guo Cheng'an, who was also in charge of Squad One.
Guo Cheng'an is very optimistic about Lian Yi. He has been mentoring him for three years, and Lian Yi is also willing to work hard and progress quickly. He has deeply learned his master's true teachings. Because he is a genuine police academy graduate, he is quick-witted and combines the investigation methods of old and new criminal police officers. He is considered a key training target for the criminal police team.
This time, Captain Guo met his end while investigating a gruesome dismemberment case. Just as he was getting close to the truth, he was murdered. The perpetrator was incredibly cruel, leaving no whole body for Guo Cheng'an. His remains were only recovered after half a month of tireless searching by the Criminal Investigation Division following leads. This allowed the original owner's master to give him a proper burial.
This is clearly a provocation from criminals, and they succeeded. The original owner was young and eager, determined to avenge his master, so he secretly investigated with his comrades in the police force's criminal investigation unit. But the more they investigated, the more terrified they became.
Because this wasn't an ordinary dismemberment case, but a serial murder spanning a decade, the original owner discovered this clue and, along with their police colleagues, found the locations where the killer dumped the bodies. Some cold cases finally came to light.
It was precisely because Lian Yi's relentless efforts that he caught the tail of his target. Unfortunately, the original body was still too young. While tracking the suspect, he was directly slashed in the throat by the other party, who even snatched his sidearm.
The original didn't see the killer's face until his death. This was his biggest regret. Not only did he fail to avenge his master, he also lost his own life, and let the killer go free, who knows how many more people will be harmed in the future.
Because the original body died before they were thirty, their memories were very short. Ripple only took a moment to sort them out, and then she contacted Seiryu:
What is the original body's desire
His wish was simple: first, catch the murderer of his master; second, help take care of his master's family within his capabilities; third, become an outstanding detective and safeguard the interests of ordinary people.
The millstone spoke.
"I understand, but please greet the other party beforehand. After I figure out the culprit, it would be better if he makes the third wish himself."
"Understood, I'll communicate with him. I'll also let him know about your progress."
After the original person sacrificed themselves, did they catch the murderer
Ripples still asked, a little too bluntly.
"She was caught by Guo Jianan, the daughter of Guo Cheng'an. This girl remembered the event when her father sacrificed himself. In less than two years, the original owner also died while pursuing this case, which had a great impact on the little girl."
She took the original body's sacrifice upon herself and then studied desperately, getting into Kyoto Public Security University. After graduation, she returned to City F and began investigating the cases her father and the original owner had handled.m went to Longxi too."Qi Qi exclaimed in surprise."That's right! If you wouldn't mind, let's travel together! Following you, we could benefit from your protection. Those bandits wouldn't dare to targ...
