Soul Patch

Chapter 298 Why come here?
Wenjie listened attentively to Yang Shanshan, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning and deep in thought.

Seeing Yang Shanshan pause, he asked softly, "...And then?"

"Then, more and more strange things happened. It was around this time that an American man named James came to her. This man had an ability... which we can call: precognitive ability."

Encounter, foresee… Wenjie’s mind raced.

He tentatively asked, "Is it possible to see what will happen in the future?"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's much more accurate!" Yang Shanshan nodded repeatedly like a little bird.

Look at this language ability... Wenjie was speechless.

"Because James can foresee things in some situations, Li Shiman is able to prevent bad things from happening in advance."

"Bad things"—does it mean supernatural events or just bad luck? This description is so unclear... Wenjie stuck out his tongue; he was speechless.

"...What happened next?"

"Later, James died, and before he died, he gave Li Shiman a precious box. He told her that the things in the box were spiritual and that she should take them back to her country. He believed that one day this treasure would come in handy. James also said something that Li Shiman didn't understand: 'The world is about to change!'"

The world is about to change!

Hasn't it already changed?

Is there something even more powerful than the Soul Patch System?

Wenjie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yang Shanshan's thoughts drifted from her memories, and she shook her head in confusion: "It's a pity that after Li Shiman was killed, the spirit stone James gave her must have fallen into the hands of bad people, and moreover, it's very likely that it was taken out of the capital!"

Hearing this, Wenjie looked at Yang Shanshan in confusion, as if asking: Why?
"Because your spirit stone no longer resonates with it. Each spirit stone has its own magnetic field and frequency, which can resonate within a certain range."

My spirit stone, that little gray stone I picked up when I was a child? I already told Yang Shanshan about it… Wenjie looked at her in surprise: “What else did I tell you? Did I mention where the spirit stone is?”

Yang Shanshan shook her head again.

Seeing that Yang Shanshan had no intention of continuing, it was probably all she knew.

Women are so gossipy. They can talk so much about someone they know in the system, but when I met Li Shiman in real life, she didn't say a word...

Uh... no! Wenjie immediately realized something and shook his head.

Back then, the system firewall was in place, and if you crossed any red lines, you would be shut down by the system.

However, you can freely explore within the system tasks.

I couldn't get any more information out of her. It seems the only way to find out is to ask Li Shiman.

Li Shiman is a crucial figure... Thinking of this, Wenjie pondered for a moment and said, "What are your thoughts on saving Li Shiman?"

"Use the system to return to City M on July 7, 2019, and prevent the murder from happening," Yang Shanshan replied decisively.

This isn't just empty talk; the key is how to get back... We're already on a mission, and Li Shiman's situation has no connection to the current system mission. Even if a time-space point is set, we can't go back!
Even so, Wenjie was still unwilling to give up, and a thought suddenly occurred to him:
The system interface appeared before my eyes.

[Time and Space Setting: July 7, 2019, M City]

The system interface scrolled, and a line of cold text appeared.

[Critical event error, time and space cannot be set]

Wenjie glanced at Yang Shanshan, his face bearing an expression that said, "I knew it wouldn't work." The two remained silent for a moment, then sighed in unison. ...

“Kitahara has arrived at the hotel,” Amiko said, looking at Morita who was smoking.
His tone betrayed an undisguised anxiety.

Morita slung his leg over the motorcycle, and Amiko, thinking they were about to set off, followed him with a smile.

However, Morita showed no intention of starting it.

Ameko understood; Morita had deliberately stopped there. His earlier excuses about not being able to drive the motorcycle for too long at once, and waiting for the engine to cool down, were just that—excuses.

With a delicate and charming look on her face, like a girl next door, she murmured, "Morita-kun, please take care of me!"

The implication is that everything should be discussed openly and honestly, rather than being used for behind-the-scenes scheming.

Morita tossed away his cigarette, turned to look at Ameko, his expression complex.

This woman is undoubtedly beautiful, but her beauty is the kind that would outshine all others in a machiya geisha house. In ordinary life, it would seem too flamboyant and dazzling.

Having been exposed to eroticism for a long time, she naturally developed a worldly air and indifference towards gender... This indifference led her to use her body as a weapon, as a lever, to pry open a bright future.

She thought that by attaching herself to Sato-kun of Kawayu Corporation, she could escape the brothels, no longer have to cater to all sorts of men, and enjoy a life of luxury... she should be content.

Who would have thought that, within a year, seeing Sato's career decline, she would ruthlessly steal Sato's protective charm... She's a venomous woman, that's what they mean by her heart.

He attracted countless women with his good looks, and naturally became immune to beautiful women.

Therefore, he clearly knew that he was of use to Ami, which was why she was so charming and seductive, using all her seductive skills.

Once she achieves her goal, her own fate will be no better.

"call"

He blew a smoke ring at Ami.

"What is the purpose of the spirit stone that Sato has been keeping in the box?"

As expected, that's what they asked... Amiko smiled slightly: "It's similar to amulets for good luck, right? They're said to ward off disasters and evil spirits!"

Morita remained in that position, brought the cigarette to his lips, and took a deep drag.

It seems they don't believe me... Ami snorted inwardly, but her face remained unchanged. She quickly calculated in her mind:

This Morita, instead of asking questions outside the villa, ran onto this unknown side road and parked his car across the street. It was as if he wasn't going to leave until he explained himself.

Before anything even happened, he's already eyeing the spirit stones in my pocket… Amiko stepped forward, clinging to his arm like a vine, her breath sweet as orchids:

"Actually, I don't know either, but I do know that Sato came here this time for another spirit stone. I think if we get the other spirit stone, we'll understand what this thing is for."

Morita stood ramrod straight, completely unmoved by her words, and said in a calm tone, "I overheard Sato and Kitahara's conversation. This thing can change what happened in the past."

It seems he already knows, so why ask? A surge of anger welled up in Amy's heart.

She released Morita without making a sound, feigning surprise:

"Morita-kun, is that...that little box really that magical? If that's the case, Sato-kun could rewrite history right here in his own country, so why did he have to travel all this way here?"
