Chapter 215 Pushing the Pot
Yin Ran looked at the boy's body on the ground.
What should I do?
"Yin Ran, please open the door immediately. The Safety Committee is conducting a routine inspection." Cao Yu's voice urged her from outside the door.
"Uh, I'm coming. Cao Yu, what were you doing downstairs just now?"
"Local residents are arguing over storage space in the hallway. Open the door."
"I'm telling you, Homo sapiens tend to become stubborn as they age. Uncle Wu has a bad temper, and Uncle Zhu who lives across from him isn't much better. It's normal for the two of them to fight."
"Yin Ran, open the door quickly."
"I'm coming. Oh, I fell."
“…”
" Oops, I sprained my ankle."
"..." Cao Yu said outside the door, "What are you doing in there? Open the door quickly."
“I bumped into furniture in my house.”
"Are you going to open the door yourself, or do you want me to break down your door?"
"I really twisted my foot."
Cao Yu silently pulled out his gun and was about to break through the door lock when the door opened.
Yin Ran, the cunning galactic thief, was standing inside the house to greet him.
She has curly, smooth chestnut hair and a very pretty face. What is striking is that she is wearing a gorgeous crimson dress, which makes her skin look even whiter than snow. The living room is filled with soothing and elegant classical music. She is leaning on the bar, shaking the wine glass in her hand gracefully, just like a princess waiting for the knight to arrive in a Homo sapiens movie or TV series. She smiles lightly, and her charming red lips are like a raging fire. She is so charming yet delicate and fragile like a little girl.
"..." Cao Yu said, "What are you doing?"
"Welcome to you, respected Security Committee agent."
"Didn't you sprain your ankle?"
"I twisted it accidentally when I was pouring the wine." Yin Ran smiled and shook the wine glass in her hand.
Cao Yu stared at her, "You weren't wearing this...exaggerated dress when you were outside just now."
"Oh haha, you should always wear what you like at home. Don't you agree?" She smiled at him, "Agent, would you like to have a drink too?"
"Don't drink while on duty." Cao Yu flatly refused. He began to look around. No matter how weak the woman in front of him looked, she was the interstellar thief who had committed many serious crimes. Every word she said could not be believed, even her appearance was fake.
No one knows what the "eight-legged spider" Yin Ran really looks like, and no one can accurately tell her true past. Her current appearance as a beautiful young woman is just a tool to deceive people. A smokescreen to make people careless.
Cao Yu began his routine questioning. After a round of questions and answers, the interstellar thief answered flawlessly, just like an ordinary law-abiding citizen, but this could not get rid of Cao Yu, the agent of the Security Committee.
"I need to check your room."
"Ah, go ahead." Yin Ran said with a smile, "If you can find any contraband, we can sell it and split the profits, 70% for you and 30% for me."
Cao Yu frowned and ignored her.
Fifteen minutes later.
Cao Yu walked back to the front hall.
"Take care, Agent." Yin Ran bid him farewell with a smile.
Cao Yu's face was gloomy. His intuition told him that this cunning interstellar thief must be hiding something. He glanced at her. Her eyes were lowered, staring at the amber wine. No matter from which angle, the woman in front of him was showing her weakness and sincerity in an unguarded manner.
But I'm not gonna be fucked.
"I just saw a Homo sapiens boy walk into this building." Cao Yu asked, "Did you see him?"
Yin Ran raised her head. Her eyes were like clear water, deep and reserved, yet extremely pure. She stared at him, as if he was asking her how the wine in her hand tasted. Then she opened her red lips and replied:
"No."
Cao Yu left.
The door was closed. Yin Ran tilted her head and listened to Cao Yu's footsteps gradually fading away.
Until it was confirmed that the Security Committee agent Cao Yu had indeed left.
Yin Ran's face suddenly wrinkled like water waves, and her originally smooth skin was like a flowing and melting candle. She was changing. After a moment, the features and gorgeous clothes that originally belonged to a young woman disappeared, and in their place was a common domestic android in the galaxy.
It was Xiao Rui. Although its fixed appearance was that of a domestic bionic human and its main job was also domestic service, Xiao Rui was actually a more outstanding precision creation of a certain scientific and technological group. Restructuring its own molecules to resemble its master Yin Ran was one of its most outstanding skills.
This was not an optical filter, but a real image. At that moment, it successfully simulated Yin Ran's overall appearance. Neither the most astute agent of the Security Committee nor the most experienced agent of the Supervisory Eye could tell the difference.
Xiao Rui said: "Master, he left..."
"Hush." Another voice sounded beside Xiao Rui, this one came from Yin Ran, the owner of this house. The empty air under the bar next to Xiao Rui began to twist, and a figure gradually became clear. At the same time, the body of the boy in her arms also appeared with her.
This is Yin Ran's specialty, the skill "Invisibility", she can completely hide her figure and breath, even with instruments it is difficult to detect. This is also one of the reasons why she has committed many major crimes but has always been at large. As long as she touches, she can also make other objects invisible.
Just now, she asked Xiao Rui to receive Cao Yu in her place, and she hid herself beside Xiao Rui holding the corpse. Sure enough, Cao Yu only focused on searching the room and ignored Xiao Rui himself. Cao Yu never expected that Yin Ran in front of him was just a stand-in, and the real thing to be hidden was right under his nose.
This young agent is indeed too naive, Yin Ran laughed secretly.
She put the boy's body back on the ground. Since just now, she had been hoping countless times that the boy would wake up.
He is just an innocent boy.
But the boy was still dead.
She has to face reality.
The Security Committee would not believe that this was an accident. Or rather, even if they knew it was an accident, they would still sneer and seize this opportunity to detain and banish her to Sana. She thought of the gray and lifeless living specimens in the crystal chandelier in the library of that planet, but their eyes were still moving.
She remembered the smile that Governor Gonchi had given her. At that time, he was injecting a liquid into a razor leopard. A moment later, grayish-white spots appeared on the body of the once ferocious razor leopard, and then its limbs began to harden into chitin. Soon, the razor leopard had become a living sculpture with only its eyeballs moving.
"You know what? All the thieves who dared to attack the library have become like this." Governor Gonchi looked at his handicrafts with satisfaction. "They are now placed in the crystal lamps and become eternal works of art. I think we can go and visit them now. You have to see the despair on their faces at the last moment."
…
There was no way I was going to let them send me back to Sana.
Yin Ran thought, the Security Committee must not know that this boy’s death was related to me.
So what should we do now?
"Master, look." Xiao Rui took out an ID from the boy's backpack. "This is his student ID. He is a student at the Fourth Middle School in this city. His name is Yan Zhen."
Yin Ran pursed her lips and thought about countermeasures. The people of the Safety Committee are not easy to deal with, so I must find someone who can deal with the Safety Committee. Who on this planet can...
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Shilin people." She said softly.
"Owner?"
Yin Ran smiled. In Xiao Rui's eyes, this was exactly the expression his master had when he wanted to cause big trouble in the past.
"Xiao Rui, now we need to do two things."
"Two things?"
"First thing. I know that group of Xilin people are nearby. Duke Jill, the owner of the Loya Nest, is underground nearby. They have been tinkering with an energy power plant recently. Xiao Rui, we can blame the Xilin people for the boy's death."
"You mean ..."
" Yes, it was the boy who accidentally fell into the Xilin power plant that caused the accident. As long as it was done by the Xilin people, the Safety Committee can't do anything to them." Yin Ran flicked open the screen, "I happen to have a map of the underground plan of Luoya's Nest in this city. We can do this..."
"Master, how could you have..."
"Well, actually I was once very interested in one of Duke Gil's collections, so I did some research." Yin Ran began to calculate based on the map.
"Master, I have a question. Cao Yu saw this boy walk into this building today. Now that something has happened to the boy, he must be thinking of you, Master."
"Don't worry about that." Yin Ran smiled, "As long as the boy is still alive in the next few days, any accidents that happen later will have nothing to do with us."
"Alive? Master, what do you mean?"
Yin Ran held Xiao Rui's shoulders and said, "Dear Xiao Rui, please change into the appearance of this boy and stay at his house for a few days, acting as an ordinary student."
“…”
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself these few days." Yin Ran picked up the student ID card next to the boy's body, "Yan Zhen? This is a good name. Xiao Rui, from now on, you will be called Yan Zhen!"
Loya's Nest.
Duke Gill is dealing with a lot of official business.
His minister was reporting to him about the cargo situation. "We already have three transport fleets blocked in the Makkakaran Corridor. Affected by the storm, they can only stay there in vain. We are losing money every day. At the same time, half of the supplies on the ships have been damaged by the disaster."
"The current compensation has exceeded 260 million..."
Duke Gill's pen made a harsh sound on the paper. He looked up, and his ministers' expressions were also stiff, but it was his duty. Duke Gill knew that a sober monarch should not vent his anger on innocent people even if he received bad news.
Duke Gil nodded, indicating that he should continue to report the next message.
A guard suddenly rushed into the throne room nervously.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
"Nothing could be worse than losing two hundred and sixty million," Duke Gil asked. "What happened?"
"The last time the Homo sapiens Yan Zhen came to our place, he accidentally fell into our power plant and was electrocuted to death!!!"
Snap. Duke Gil broke the pen directly.
…
After forcing himself to calm down, Duke Gil ordered them to conduct a detailed investigation and report back.
Not long after, the guard handed him a report.
Because the road suddenly collapsed, the passing Homo sapiens Yan Zhen unfortunately fell into the ground and happened to fall into the Xilin people's energy power plant, where he was electrocuted to death on the spot.
That seems to be exactly the case.
But after testing, it was found that the corpse was not a real Homo sapiens, but a slime mold mimicry.
"Isn't it him?"
"Yes, it's a slime mold mimic. I guess it's just a tool."
Duke Gil breathed a sigh of relief. It was more acceptable to accidentally kill a slime mold than to accidentally kill a Homo sapiens who was related to the Eye of Overwatch.
This is a slime mold tool man, probably created by the mysterious prosecutor Mr. Cat.
I don't know what the purpose of making this slime mold is.
The cause of death of the slime mold tool man is indeed full of suspicion.
Mr. Cat, the parachuted inspector of the Eye of Supervision, he still knew nothing about him. He didn't get any information except that his backer was Lord Luokun. His connections in the Eye of Supervision seemed to have lost their effect. This has always been a thorn in the side of Grand Duke Jill.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
"Summon the engineers, dispose of this body, and then create a new Mimic Yan Zhen that is exactly the same as the original one." Duke Jill ordered.
"Your Majesty, are you going to build a new one to compensate Mr. Cat?"
"No, there is no need to spread the news that this slime mold died in my place. Create a new Mimic Yan Zhen and send it back, and pretend that nothing happened. And this Mimic Yan Zhen will be directly responsible to me."
Very good, just send a spy, Duke Gil thought.
