Chapter 368 Nini Cries in Prison
Lee Ki had anticipated this outcome.

The memories of those Earthlings involved in the incident in Fukushima were also altered.

"This shows that it's the same group as last time—the Red Dwarf Saints."

“That’s right. I also investigated their entry and exit records, as well as Dr. Ananta’s detailed information. There was indeed a person traveling with them, but all the information was forged. The person on the records died 10 years ago. He was just using an identity fraud, and his face was probably disguised with a leather mask.”

“Complete mystery, that makes things difficult.”

"Now she's our only breakthrough point."

Gu Yuqing pointed at Nini, who was hysterical in the interrogation room next door.

"Her? She's just a student, how could she possibly be involved in this?"

Although Li Ji also disliked Nini, and she almost killed him in the tomb, his professional ethics as a special agent did not allow him to drag innocent people into the mess.

Rat Sanwan rubbed his little paws and explained, "We checked her memories. Her last memory was of trapping you in that secret room, and she has no memory of anything after that. And this mummy incident is related to the Nauzwat bacteria cultivation technology of the Golden Man, so she is also a suspect."

Gu Yuqing added, "That's right. And I checked the room where the mummies were kept. Although she collapsed in the room, the mummies didn't harm her, which is very suspicious. In addition, considering her previous obstruction of you, we still have reason to suspect that she is closely related to this matter."

Li Ji still didn't think Nini had anything to do with this matter. Although she was bad, her badness was different from that of the Red Dwarf Saint.

She is a strict selfish person who harms others for personal gain, while the actions of the Red Dwarf Saints, as they stand, are simply self-defeating and harmful to others.

"But she has no memory of anything, so what can we investigate?"

"Our agents are investigating her relationships. We'll have the results soon."

"What should Dr. Anasta do? Like with the previous Earthlings, wipe their memories and put them back?"

"No, she's different. She has interstellar blood, and according to the laws of the Interstellar Alliance, she is a person under the Alliance's jurisdiction. We will prosecute her as an accomplice. Imprisonment is inevitable."

Looking at Anata sitting calmly behind the glass, Li Ji was an accomplice in this matter. Even if she was misled or brainwashed, this matter was indeed inseparable from her family, so she deserved her punishment.

"So what can I do for you now?"

"Your classmate has something to say to you."

Lee Ki opened the door to the interrogation room and went inside.

Nini, who had been roaring, suddenly fell silent and stared at him like a ghost.

What do you want to tell me?

"sit."

Nini sat down on the chair by herself.

Lee Ki sat at the interrogation table, the chair transforming into an eggshell shape to fit him.

"Which of us is the prisoner?"

"I am a prisoner."

Nini slammed the silver ring handcuffs on her wrists onto the table.

If it weren't for the fully automatic machine gun overhead, Li Ji was really afraid that Nini would kill him alone.

What do you want to tell me?

"you win."

"What?" Nini's tone was frighteningly calm: "The academic achievement of discovering the lizard people is yours, the scholarship is yours, and the opportunity to stay at the university to teach is also yours."

Li Ji sighed, and a stream of air shot out from his pointed mouth.

"You're so boring. Are you still worrying about winning and losing? Isn't your imagined rival Delulu?"

Nini slammed her hand on the table, gritting her teeth as she said, "Anyone who stands in my way of becoming number one is my enemy! Do you know why I gave up nuclear engineering to study earth science?"

"Because your grades are bad, you can't understand it."

"Wrong! My grades are excellent, and I'm confident I'll be in the top five in nuclear engineering. But I can't get first place; I can only get first place in earth sciences!"

Li Ji couldn't understand: "Aren't you just plain crazy? Why don't you study a major with good job prospects, and instead insist on studying this sewer engineering major? Do you really want to go back to cultivating bacteria?"

Nini roared, "You don't understand! If I'm not number one, I'm a disgrace to the family. Do you know how my mother treated me when I got second place in partial calculus equations in elementary school? She shocked me with a 120-volt electric baton all day!"

Li Jiguang felt a chill run down his spine just listening to this: "Why don't you distance yourself from your family of origin?"

"Bam—"

Nini slammed her hand on the table: "But when I came to Earth Studies, first Dailulu insisted on competing with me, and then you showed up! I can't even get first place in this kind of subject, what's the point of my life?"

She slumped into the chair in despair, two streams of golden tears streaming down her cheeks.

Li Ji patiently advised, "Actually, there are many possibilities in life. For example, you can compete to be the best at peeling space potatoes in prison, which is also very relevant to reality."

"Get out! Now look what's happened, I'm going to jail, and all the good stuff is yours. You can take the research results."

"Actually, half of the research results belong to you, and I can't take them away."

Nini suddenly froze: "What do you mean?"

Li Ji explained, "Yesterday, when His Highness the Crown Prince was writing his paper on the great discovery of the lizard people, he asked me if I wanted to include my name in the author's column as well."

Nini stared blankly at Li Ji, a slight stirring in her heart. She asked tremblingly, "You agreed?"

"Of course not, what are you thinking?"

Nini angrily yelled, "Kudumoso! Are you kidding me?!"

"Why are you swearing? Can't you listen to people finish speaking? You didn't participate in this paper, so how can your name be on it? But I made sure that both of our names were listed in the section for the first discovery of the lizardmen. We are now recognized as the first interstellar people to discover the lizardmen."

Nini froze, and a tear rolled down her golden cheek.

Why did you do this? Wouldn't it be better if you took all the credit for yourself?

Li Ji shook his tentacle: "Not so. Back then, the lizardman was impersonating Delulu, and we both saw through it at the same time. That's a discovery we made together. There's an old saying on Earth: 'One should not sacrifice the world for a single hair'. What's mine is mine, and what's not mine, I won't take. Similarly, what's yours is yours, and you can't be deprived of what you deserve just because you're a greedy, vicious, mean, and evil selfish person."

Nini cried uncontrollably, wiping her tears with the back of her hand: "Thank you for your praise. It's been so long since anyone has praised me like that."

Li Ji was taken aback: "Which word is a compliment? Didn't I scold you for a long time?"

Nini sobbed, "Greedy, vicious, mean, evil selfish devil, this evaluation is too high, I am unworthy of it."

"Are you completely insane?"

Li Ji stood up, leaving with one last sentence: "Similarly, although I hate you and would love for you to go to jail, in this case, if you committed a crime, you should go to jail; if you didn't commit a crime, you should be exonerated. Just like the Lizardman's discovery, I'm not trying to help you; I just feel uneasy about it myself. Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained. I'm leaving now; my paper needs to be published, I have to go back and show off."

Li Ji pushed open the door and left, leaving Nini sobbing uncontrollably on the table.
