He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Li Ji quickly asked Luo Xi, "Is it possible that this was made?"

[Analyzing video content...]

[Reporting to the owner: The video is confirmed to be genuine and shows no signs of being digitally manipulated.]

Li Ji felt a little breathless: "Are you sure?"

[I'm sure. Keep reading, there's a note from Delulu.]

Li Ji quickly looked down and saw a line of small print.

[The video was extracted from memory, which is difficult to detect using conventional methods. I've studied it using the most advanced technology, and it should be genuine. I don't know exactly what you did at the time, but I believe you. If someone used extremely sophisticated technology to create this video, they are trying to solidify your guilt.]

Li Ji felt short of breath. His memory of the experience was very vague. He didn't remember buying any biological reagents, and he didn't even have any recollection of the scene where everyone was sucking on the fruit.

But after returning to school, the teacher did give everyone those fruits and said, "Students, please don't damage the teaching aids anymore. The school will try to apply for anything you want to learn."

Now, connecting this passage with these lost memories makes perfect sense.

He continued to look down.

On the 348th day of the 51362nd year of the Alliance calendar, based on the indictments from the previous two cases, a raid was conducted on the suspect's former residence on the planet Barbaradu.

It is reported that the apartment remained vacant after the suspect moved to Michigan University, with rent continuing to be paid by an unidentified individual. Surveillance footage outside the apartment shows that no one entered the premises after the suspect moved out.

A raid revealed that the residence contained a large number of items left behind by the suspect.

Among them is a fragment of an experimental notebook that records the results of a cockroach experiment, including the notes that "31 cockroaches died, 16 cockroaches were paralyzed, and 1 cockroach learned to meow like a cat."

Furthermore, the cockroach that had learned to meow was found in a crevice of the suspect's hibernation chamber and has been transferred to the evidence department.

The suspect recorded a large number of antisocial remarks in his notebook.

Examples include: "I hope the universe will be thermally destroyed soon," "I wish everyone in the school would go crazy," "I really hope the cashier at the supermarket downstairs dies right now," "The Alliance should be completely wiped out," "The cashier at the supermarket downstairs should be incontinent," "I wish all life in the universe would die," and "I'm going to kill the cashier at the supermarket downstairs tomorrow," etc.

...]

Luo Xi typed a question on the screen with a sigh: "Master, how much do you hate that cashier?"

Li Ji recalled: "Mainly, she would put a partial differential equation on the cashier's counter every time. If I couldn't answer it the instant I saw it, she would give me a disgusted look and mock me for being an idiot."

That's really a bit idiotic.

"You're an AI, so it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."

Li Ji had no recollection of the fragments of that experimental notebook, and those antisocial remarks filled most of his memory.

The original owner was such a person: gloomy, depressed, always secretly writing antisocial things and doing some strange experiments.

But I have no recollection of the part about abusing cockroaches.

I just remember keeping a small cockroach at home and occasionally hearing it meow. I thought it was a strange alien species and never imagined it was created by the original owner.

He continued reading.

【…

Subsequent investigation revealed that the mysterious person who renewed the suspect's lease was none other than his former principal, Kitos.

After the suspect entered Milton University, President Kitos personally changed the suspect's major from dark matter engineering to earth science. However, President Kitos did not recall finding any additional clues, suggesting that someone was behind it.

...]

Li Ji felt a chill run down his spine.

He never expected that Principal Kitos was behind his major adjustment. But Principal Kitos had acted as if he didn't recognize him. Was his memory erased, or was he just an executor who blindly followed the orders of the person behind the scenes without even investigating who he was?

The case file was supplemented with a large amount of evidence.

There is a lot of evidence, including purchase records, traffic records, surveillance videos, photos, and testimonies from relevant witnesses, but the chain of evidence is still more or less incomplete.

Perhaps this is why his case has never gone to trial.

The case file later concluded that "during the suspect's tenure at the Special Agents Bureau, he resolved numerous crises affecting Earth's existence. It is highly likely that this was a staged event orchestrated by the Red Dwarf Saints themselves to gain the suspect's trust and steal intelligence from within the Special Agents Bureau. All of the above inferences are speculative, and we are still searching for supporting evidence."

After reading the case file, Li Ji fell into deep despair.

If this is a frame-up, there is still a possibility of overturning the verdict.

But based on the contents of the case file, it is almost irrefutable.

"This was all done by the original owner of this body, so why is it being blamed on me?"

If it is a frame-up, the error in the evidence can be found, the mastermind can be traced, and pressure can be put on the judicial authorities with the support of social connections. There is still a glimmer of hope.

But it's undeniable that he committed this crime himself. Where did the original owner go after he transmigrated? Does he even exist? How can he find the real culprit?

He clutched the lock of hair that Delulu had given him, desperately trying to suppress the despair deep within his heart with his emotions.

But despair, like the sea, relentlessly engulfed him.

He felt a hand floating above the water, desperately groping in the drowning water, but he could never find a rope that could save his life.

A line of text appeared on the screen.

[Master, I've found the switch system for the outer protective shield of the prison. Notify me via any internet-connected device, and I can open the shield for you.]

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Ji felt a strong sense of disorientation.

He spent the rest of the day in this extremely dazed state, as if he were unconscious, and in the blink of an eye he was in bed.

Then, as if unconscious, he reappeared in the warden's office.

He kept thinking about what other way out he could have. Escape from prison?

and then?
Even if they could escape, where could they hide?

He knew he was a serious criminal and would definitely be wanted by the police.

It would be easier to escape by myself, but how am I going to face Delulu?

Will she come with me?
Go to Earth?
impossible!
The earth can no longer contain me.

Find a primitive planet, or an uninhabited planet, and live like a savage.

Will she come with me?

"Snapped--"

A slap landed squarely on Li Ji's face.

He suddenly realized that he was holding a sticky nutritional paste, standing in the noisy cafeteria, with Nini looking at him with her head held high and a look of disdain.

Nini said in fluent Chinese, "You've been out of your mind for three days now. What about your plans? Are you planning to stay in there for the rest of your life? This is the first time I've felt sorry for Dailulu."

Dailulu's last face appeared in Li Ji's mind, and those words continued to echo in his ears.

"Li Ji, unless I die, you'll never get rid of me in this lifetime, meow."

He was certain that Delulu was capable of it.

My empty heart suddenly found a solid support.

He was too self-righteous and arrogant, thinking he needed to consider so much for Delulu. Delulu didn't need him to consider anything. At this moment, he only needed to think things through for himself, since Delulu wouldn't listen to what he said anyway.

His foggy mind cleared up at that moment, and he suddenly realized a very serious problem.

Why is there no mention of his memories as a time traveler in the case file?

The dossier was written after his arrest, and it had completely read his memories. Why didn't it mention his memories before he transmigrated?
He hurriedly threw down the nutritional paste and rushed upstairs.

Nini watched his retreating figure and murmured, "Looks like he's been resurrected."

Li Ji returned to the warden's office and repeatedly checked the case files.

"No, really not!"

This unknown mystery did not frighten him, but rather filled him with unprecedented excitement. This was the rope he had been searching for so long on the sea.

Two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the recorder deliberately omitted this part, indicating that this was a frame-up orchestrated in collusion with the law enforcement authorities, and that the original owner of the body was also involved; otherwise, there would be no need to conceal the fact that he had traveled through time.

The possibility is extremely slim.

As far as he knew, there was no breakthrough in cutting-edge scientific research regarding time travel or soul swapping. If the authorities knew he was a time traveler, he would be in a laboratory right now, not a prison.

The second possibility is that you don't have that memory at all.

But why do I remember it?
The reasoning has reached a dead end again.

How can you possibly remember something that's not in your mind?

To outsiders, Li Ji seemed to have fallen into that dazed state again, as if he was absent-minded at all times.

You can eat food that gets in your eyes, and you can bump into people while walking.

His eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept all night.

As time went by, the warden found a new lover, and Li Ji's office post was taken over by someone else. He and Nini once again worked day and night in the repair shop.

On this day, Li Ji was leaning against the spaceship, constantly fiddling with a wrench in his hand.

Nini put down the electronic fault list in her hand, walked over aggressively, pointed at Li Jiti and asked, "Twenty days have passed, another twenty days have gone by, have you completed your plan?"

Li Ji said absentmindedly, "The plan was completed long ago."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Are you addicted to staying here?"

"I'm thinking about what to do after we get out. If we don't find the real culprit, it's only a matter of time before we're brought back."

"Forget about the real culprit, let's get out of here!"

"Go ahead if you want, I'm not in a hurry."

Nini looked completely bewildered: "How am I supposed to get out? All I know is how to fly a spaceship, I don't know anything else! Do you expect me to fly this broken flying saucer through the protective shield?"

"Then you should wait a little longer."

Nini rolled her eyes: "Fine, I'll wait a bit longer. You come over and fix the spaceship first."

"Don't you already know how to fix it?"

"I can't figure out how to fix a quantum communication device."

Li Ji got up, crawled into the spaceship, and muttered, "What's so hard about fixing a quantum communicator? It's just—quantum communication, isn't it?"

He excitedly patted his head.

"That's right! Quantum communication! How come I didn't think of that!"

Nini frowned in confusion: "Are you out of your mind? I don't understand what you're saying."

Li Ji's lips curled up in a smile as he excitedly patted Nini's shoulder: "The time is ripe; the plan is ready to begin." (End of Chapter)
