Chapter 249.
Time back, or to go back to a fae, the consumption of alien energy is absolutely huge.
But Sheng An didn’t need to save Academician Liu’s life, she only wanted to see the murderer, even if there was a huge amount of alien energy against it, even if there was a loophole in the rules holding it hostage ……
The powerful alien energy still dialed back the time!
In the middle of this action of acid rain, the consumption of alien energy was huge, and when Sheng An arrived at the Meteorite Research Institute, she was already not at her full strength.
Therefore, after that, she didn’t consume a single trace of her alien energy, accumulating strength and storing up energy just to wait for this moment!
Time was reversed, and the air around her fluctuated vaguely.
Her eyes were stern, and she finally saw Academician Liu, the living fae Academician Liu, from among the cracks of time.
He was hiding in the academy, in the middle of the gap established by the rule loophole, mockingly looking at the people outside trying to find him, he did not try to leave the academy, he was waiting, he was confused.
The next moment-
In the middle of the gap of the rule loophole where he was hiding, a hand choked Academician Liu’s neck, he couldn’t resist, he couldn’t even raise his fighting spirit to resist at all, staring at him with wide eyes, in shock and despair, he was being harvested for his life!
Sheng An endeavored to look at the owner of that hand.
And here, time began to shake and shake, and the picture trembled.
As if everything was informing her-
You can’t see this person.
Sheng An’s alien energy had been drained, and the alien energy injected by Song Linwei had been depleted, the image collapsed and receded, and the image that was easily seen backwards was vaguely blurred.
Qi Ling Mist: “Sheng An!”
She herself could not see, at this time her appearance was very appalling, in the middle of the faintly blinding light, the clock behind her was shaking, while her eyes were red and her face was as white as paper.
Couldn’t see?
No, she had to try to see!
Sheng An’s fingers rotated, the meteorite shard she carried appeared at the tip of her fingers, cutting her fingers, blood instantly gushed into the shard, while the energy extended from the shard into her body.
The originally shaky clock became solid and stepped back again.
She saw it!
Sheng An saw the owner of that hand in the cracks of time, a face that was familiar to the extreme.
–Autumn Rain.
In just an instant, the image collapsed, and Sheng An’s body went limp.
Qi Lingmu wrapped an arm around her and lifted Jia Guangliang over with one hand.
Jia Guangliang: “……”
After standing steadily, he silently heals Sheng An.
Sheng An wasn’t injured, but her supernatural energy was severely overdrawn, which was even more troublesome than having an injury, and the difference in level was too great, so Jia Guangliang’s constant injection of supernatural energy wasn’t able to restore her all at once, and could only alleviate it.
This was also enough.
And the other people present were a little bewildered, Lai Wan Yun looked at the body on the ground, and then looked at Sheng An, and tentatively inquired, “What …… is going on here?”
Li Xin subconsciously looked at Hao Jingye.
Hao Jingye exhaled a breath and stared at the corpse on the ground, his voice soft: “Jia Guangliang’s idea may be right …… The puppet fae may not be completely controlled by M.”
Ruan Zifeng squatted down with a contemplative face.
Jia Guangliang looked up blankly, “Huh?”
Song Linwei heard and understood, pursing his dry lips, “So, it was M who killed Academician Liu?”
“Other than that, there was no one else, wasn’t there?” Hao Jingye sighed.
Academician Liu couldn’t have committed suicide.
The Special Intelligence Service hadn’t even found him, so it was even more impossible to kill him.
Then, the one who killed him could only be a fae.
To easily kill a dual-system fae with a vulnerability fae plus a spiritual fae, who else could it be but M?
Jiang Yu looked at Jia Guangliang in shock, his eyes complex.
–Sure enough, this guy wasn’t an ally in the same IQ trench as them.
Xiang Hanfeng frowned, organizing her thoughts:
“Wait, M killed Academician Liu because the Puppet Fae doesn’t absolutely obey M. Perhaps, M sensed the Puppet Fae’s ‘disobedience’, plus Academician Liu had already been exposed, and simply beheaded him?”
Hao Jingye nodded.
“Where did Academician Liu disobey?” Jiang Ling was surprised.
Killing Academician He, stealing the meteorite fragments, and hiding them, Academician Liu hadn’t been disobedient, and decapitating him just because he was exposed didn’t fit the normal logic.
Gu Qiansheng suddenly spoke, “No, there is indeed something that is not in M’s expectations.”
Everyone looked at him.
At this moment, many of them had already figured it out, and the moment they did, their faces were unsightly.
Gu Qiansheng was equally gloomy and softly explained, “The fragments disappearing, this is not something that M let do, it might be Academician Liu’s unauthorized action ……”
In a flash, Li Xin and the others’ faces changed.
Ji Yani’s hand clenched into a fist.
The speculation seemed to be verified once again.
Wrong.
Collecting and piecing together the fragments might really be wrong.
What was wrong for them was perhaps …… not a bad thing for M and the Fae.
Then, with the shard in their possession, M may not actually have the urgency to grab it.
After the failure of the first strike, M had never made a move on the Institute’s shard again, and perhaps, the other side had changed their strategy a long time ago.
What they knew about the prophecy, the other party knew more than they did.
Even, knew the whole truth.
Just like their previous speculation, M might even use their hands to collect the fragments and then finally kill them all in one go.
The purpose of the mental faculty ability was to make Academician Liu hide, and the rule loophole was to make Academician Liu kill Academician He, who had guessed part of the truth, instead of getting rid of the shards.
–Academician Liu got rid of the fragments and lost control of M, so M killed him.
Long Tianyu was puzzled, “How did M kill Academician Liu? And what about all the fragments?”
Hao Jingye and Song Linwei shook their heads at the same time.
These two questions, apart from M, I’m afraid that only Sheng would know something.
Sheng An didn’t say anything.
Qiu Yu looked at her, word for word: “You were sure it wasn’t M’s doing when you knew the fragments were missing, so you weren’t in a hurry when Academician Liu escaped, you knew M would strike, and you waited for Him to strike?”
Sheng An stared into her eyes and slowly nodded.
She was in a bad state at the moment, her thoughts were mixed, and she hadn’t opened her mouth to speak since the time flashback.
Qi Lingmu’s eyes were worried, but she didn’t say much, only gently assisting her, wordlessly standing behind her and letting her lean back.
Xiang Han Shuang had the same complex eyes, and only after a long time did he say a sentence, “Team Leader Sheng, you are really scary, surprisingly, in the instant that the fragment was stolen by Academician Liu, you guessed that this is not what M told him to do …….”
Terrifying, at this point, was not a pejorative term.
It was to Hanfrost’s heartfelt shock.
Jiang Yu instinctively spoke, “Nonsense, this is our Sister Sheng.”
Ruan Zifeng always hung his head in thought.
At this moment, he jerked his head up and plucked up his voice, “I figured it out!”
The crowd looked at him.
Instead, he stared tightly at Sheng An.
Sheng An looked back at Xiang Hanfang, his voice hoarse and calm: “I didn’t guess it.”
Xiang Hanfeng froze.
Sheng An swept over everyone present, Shan Hua, Wu Buye, Zhang Kun left, the acid rain poured outside, the Meteorite Research Institute was almost equal to being blocked off, and all of them, who were left behind, were also trapped here.
Sheng An voice softly-
“Because, the meteorite fragments were never stolen.”
“Shanhua and the others are not going to pick up Chu Lao, they are escorting all the meteorite fragments back to the capital base.”
