170: Chapter 170 Verification of Guesses About the Truth 170: Chapter 170 Verification of Guesses About the Truth “You an to say, you’ve ti-traveled again?”
Wendy hugged her arms, watching coldly as her best friend, wrapped in a blanket and huddled on the bed, ferociously nibbled on chocolate.
Li Mumu could now finally understand why the agents of the Special Service Bureau still wore such thick clothes in the height of sumr, and why they’d drink piping hot mutton soup for a late-night snack—she felt as though all the heat in her body had been completely drained, not feeling the slightest warmth even under the sun.
It was truly cold.
So cold that she couldn’t even open her mouth to speak, and if she hadn’t stockpiled a substantial amount of chocolate before boarding the ship, she might have already gone into shock.
Still, she persevered and recounted everything she’d experienced to Wendy.
“Beneath the shadow on the water’s surface of the Cosmos, another ship nad Olympus lurked, filled with smuggled monsters…
This does sound sowhat far-fetched, but if you think about it, it’s not entirely impossible,” Wendy began to analyze calmly.
“Speaking of our family’s loan contract…
there seems indeed to be such a thing.
Then, you infiltrated the Olympus, and in a reverse-possession, you rged with and beca a new monster that was originally prepared to possess you.
To save you, I signed a loan contract with you…
But there’s one thing that doesn’t make sense here.”
“You think you wouldn’t need to use that loan contract?”
“I think, even if I killed you and used your head as a token to surrender, why would they accept my surrender?”
Wendy sharply pinpointed the key issue Li Mumu had overlooked.
“I don’t know many people on this ship, and those who know …
why would they trust and accept my surrender?
It makes no sense.
I’m not so adorable cutie that everyone adores.
Unless…”
She tilted her head, gazing at Li Mumu and lowered her voice, “Unless the person knows and has promised that they would accept my surrender if I killed you.
Only then could I trust them, and only then would it make sense.
There are, including you, no more than three people on this ship who know .”
“Do you think it was your dad or your mom?”
Li Mumu was stumped by the question; she had never considered this possibility.
Mu Yuming was just a mortal; it definitely couldn’t be him.
Could it be Li Ya?
That’s my own mother…
No, wait a minute, in so ways, not particularly close, and even so animosity exists.
“Your mom is a genuine witch, a Great Witch renowned in the Federation Witch Sisterhood.
Why is she completely absent from your ti-traveling mories?”
Wendy’s tone beca increasingly aggressive.
“Do you think with her power, she could be ambushed by so strange guy, even by a Throne Knight?”
“Then why didn’t she co to rescue you?”
Wait a minute…
Li Mumu suddenly raised her head, interrupting Wendy’s speech, “Throne Knights!
Correct, not only my family knows you, but the Hell Church also knows your na!
Didn’t they invite you to the Yellowstone Throne last ti?
Wouldn’t they invite you again?”
“As you said, they have already invited , invited us.”
Wendy scoffed, “I already received an invitation, and if I wanted to surrender, I could have done so directly.
Why would I need your head as a door knocker?
If the story you told is true, then it ans after you turned into a monster, you didn’t attack and could even be controlled by .
Keeping you alive would be a more advantageous choice for , wouldn’t it?”
“No one is foolish enough to discard their own ans of self-defense.”
“The living Li Mumu is the most fearso weapon, while the dead Li Mumu’s head is worthless.
Do you think I couldn’t figure out that much?”
“So the only possibility is that, under those circumstances, soone offered a proposition I couldn’t refuse—a condition that compelled to give you up.”
“Who do you think could make such an offer?”
Li Mumu felt even colder.
Emotionally, she couldn’t accept it, but rationally, she had to admit Wendy had a point.
No, actually, even the emotions are fake.
Don’t pretend as if you really had any mother-daughter bond with Li Ya—you replaced her real daughter!
Li Mumu trembled uncontrollably.
“If…
I just think it’s a possibility, but if it’s as you said, what should we do?”
“Do nothing.”
“Do nothing?”
Li Mumu was shocked by this defeatist statent.
“Assuming all this hasn’t started yet, then if you hadn’t accidentally killed the owner of that notebook, I wouldn’t have suggested the disguise to cover up the cri evidence.
And then we wouldn’t have fallen into the Outer Dinsion where the Olympus lies because of the keyword ‘replace.'”
Wendy coolly suggested, “We pretend like we know nothing, and then nothing will happen.
If you hadn’t degenerated into that irredeemable ghostly state, I believe your mom wouldn’t have given up on you so easily.
Doesn’t she still like you a lot now?
As long as we do nothing, we can safely reach our destination.
And as for those stowaways, what do they have to do with us?”
You make so sense…
No, wait!
Li Mumu nearly got drawn into her logic, “It’s not that nothing will happen just because we do nothing!
They disguised themselves as us on the Olympus to replace the real passengers.
Including and my parents…
No, wait, if what you’re saying is true, why would there be Elental Bodies corresponding to her and my dad?
I personally finished off those Elental Bodies disguised as my parents, that much is certain!”
“Were you really lucid at that ti?”
Wendy countered.
“Is there a possibility that you had already fallen, caught in an illusion?
Could the images you saw be just fabrications of your mind?”
Li Mumu was left speechless.
“But I think you’re on the right track.”
Just as she was about to be persuaded by Wendy, Wendy changed her tune and said, “What I said just now are re speculations, with no actual evidence.
The simplest way to confirm it is to board the Olympus and see if those two Elental Bodies you ntioned truly exist.”
“But once I fall into that dinsion, I’ll rge with the Elental Body that wants to replace …”
“You can’t go, but I can.”
Wendy smiled, “Don’t forget, I’m the only passenger on this ship who didn’t buy a ticket in advance.
This ans there won’t be a corresponding seat for on the Olympus.”
“If in your crossed mories I can move safely on the Olympus, then now I can do the sa.”
