The group left the cave and headed up the mountain.

Dailu whispered to Li Ji, "Do you have a fetish for idiots, meow? Why did you hire this silly bear to do things, meow?"

"I told you, I'm from another time, and I really didn't do it. But I'm also curious about this. This guy's time travel is similar to mine, except he turned into a cockroach, and I turned into this Li Ji. But I don't understand why he was chosen? Am I even on the same level as him?"

A drowsy Shark Baby dragged his feet behind Li Ji and said casually, "That's easy. If he had no other choice, he would have to find this wild bear. Just like when the class monitor had no other choice but to team up with us."

Li Ji waved his hand: "It's unlikely. Although we don't know the specific principles of time travel yet, we can vaguely tell that it uses the principle of quantum entanglement. Since it's necessary to make two quanta entangled, there can be no randomness."

With a "thump," Shark Baby fell headfirst to the ground. Dailulu picked him up: "You hypnotized him again, meow. Entanglement that naturally occurs between quantum particles is very common, meow."

“If it were just a pair of quanta, then there would indeed be randomness. But this is a soul swap, a complete transformation of two consciousnesses. A consciousness doesn’t just have one quantum. All the quanta of the two consciousnesses are entangled, and the probability of this is almost zero. This is even more absurd than finding two identical snowflakes.”

"The universe is so vast, maybe..."

They reached the top of the mountain, and didiwuwu began digging.

As darkness fell, the excavated soil was nearly as tall as a person, and didiwuwu was completely inside the pit.

Delulu squatted at the entrance of the hole and asked in confusion, "Why haven't we dug anything for so long, meow? Did you come to the wrong place, meow?"

"Don't worry, beautiful lady, I'm an expert at finding hidden things. If I can't find them, I won't survive the winter."

didiwuwu dug until late at night, digging a five-meter-deep pit, and finally found a square black box inside.

"Another decryption required?"

Li Ji looked at the small black box in his hand and was puzzled. This time it was a pure black box without any symbols, and he couldn't find a way to open it.

He asked didiwuwu, "Do you know how to drive it?"

"Let me try."

didiwuwu took the box and poked it hard with the pointed tip.

"clatter!"

Nothing happened.

"I won't."

"If you didn't know, you should have said so earlier! You're just pretending to know."

Shark Baby, standing to the side, raised his hand: "I have a speedrun method!"

"Being not."

Li Ji instructed Didiwuwu to stay in the cave, and that he would come back to fetch him later.

The three of them returned to the spaceship with the small black box.

According to Delulu's hamster observation, the door to the residence was sealed shut, making entry impossible. Given the detail in the case file, it was estimated that there were no valuable clues inside.

After all, the case file clearly marked the mucus residue and its composition on the inner wall of the hibernation pod.

As the three stepped into the spaceship, they saw Milia riding on Nini's back, both of them letting out heart-wrenching screams.

Nini's golden body was covered in pink slime. She was pinned down by Milia and had her hands wrapped around Milia's waist.

Milia was covered in glittering gold dust. She pressed Nini down hard and shook the other's big head repeatedly.

"What are you doing?"

Milia screamed, "She's trying to steal the spaceship and escape!"

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Shark rushed forward and separated the two.

Li Ji asked what had just happened. Milia, with tears streaming down her face, said, "She just woke up and asked where you all went. After I told her, she tried to rush to steal the spaceship without saying a word, so I had to stop her."

Li Ji then asked Nini.

Nini sat down and disgustedly wiped the pink slime off her body.

"I want freedom! We need to go somewhere safe! I didn't run away to risk my life with you! We should get on a spaceship now and find a deserted but habitable planet to hide from the pursuers. Instead of running to a planet with wanted posters everywhere, hoping the police will arrest us all! Stop wasting time asking me these questions, just start the spaceship already! Am I the only one who's worried?"

Nini stared wide-eyed at Li Ji.

"Shark Baby has already set sail. Calm down."

"I can't calm down at all. I have no idea what you're thinking."

With her hands on her hips, Delulu snapped, "If you don't understand, then don't try to understand, meow! You can't help at all, all you do is cause trouble, meow!"

Nini jumped to her feet and yelled at Delulu, "What help am I supposed to give you? Help you get yourself killed? What are you trying to do? Our case is connected to the Red Dwarf Saints. Unless we catch them, there's no way we can overturn the case!"

"Then catch them, meow!"

"Do you think you're catching lice? The Alliance has been trying for hundreds of years and hasn't succeeded. Why should you be the one to catch them?"

Li Ji was caught between the two of them, with one sentence after another, and a faint brainwave warning him "don't commit suicide," making his head feel like it was about to explode.

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing!"

Dailulu and Nini were in the middle of a heated argument, and no one paid any attention to Li Ji's attempts to mediate.

Dailulu yelled, "You golden walnut cat! Give me another chance, and I'll definitely sink the half of your spaceship the moment you escape!"

Nini retorted, "You stinky cat, who needs your help! If it weren't for Li Ji, you would have lost your first place long ago!"

Lee Ki felt deeply exhausted. The two had deviated from logical debate and turned into a barrage of personal attacks filled with foul language, the words of which were unacceptable to anyone.

He was tired, so he simply squatted down and carefully examined the little black box.

It was square and completely black, offering no clues to its decryption.

He shook the box; it was very light.

It seems the original owner intends to return, which is why he asked didiwuwu to keep this black box safe for him.

Everything can be sorted out now.

The original owner handed the black box containing cockroaches to Li Ke, who was engrossed in an intellectual contest with the original owner and was unlikely to hand the box over to the police.

If Li Ke cannot decipher the box, the original owner will retrieve the box when the time is right.

If Li Ke deciphers the box, and the cockroach recognizes him, it won't lead him to the cave hidden in the mountain.

If the police were to forcibly dismantle the box, they would still be unable to obtain any clues from the cockroaches, which cannot speak human language. Li Ke could even go to jail for participating in the abuse of cockroaches.

The contents of the box must be extremely important to the original owner.

Therefore, it seems that the original owner framing himself and sending him to prison may only be a backup plan.

It must be because I repeatedly hindered the actions of the Red Dwarf Saint that he had to sacrifice his original body and force me into prison.

Originally, he intended to use my identity as an Earthling to destroy the Earth and escape his guilt. After completing the plan, he would return to his body to retrieve what he had hidden in the mountain.

The original owner specifically instructed didiwuwu that she might change her appearance in order to deal with the unexpected situation of not being able to return to her original body.

The door to the room suddenly opened, and Shark Baby burst in, shouting a word that drowned out the arguing.

"Does anyone even tell me where we're going?!" (End of Chapter)
