Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

"Thank you..." Li nodded.

She wasn't far from the place she remembered; just past this intersection, she would see her old home. Everything was so familiar, and the more familiar things she saw, the more uneasy she felt about what was to come. Six months had passed, and she had no idea how her parents were doing.

But what's meant to happen will happen. Li pulled the two women forward a step, then looked towards the spot where her home used to be. Li didn't need to see her parents directly; she just wanted to watch from afar and see how they were doing. But at that moment, a van pulled up in front of them. The door swung open, and three burly men jumped out, covering their mouths and noses with towels. They forcefully pulled them into the van and quickly slammed the door shut.

The person in the driver's seat slammed on the gas, causing the van to start moving quickly, and then it sped off towards the outskirts of the city.

"Is it all done?!" the person in the passenger seat turned around and asked.

"It's done, it's done!!!" one of the burly men exclaimed excitedly. "This face can definitely fetch a lot of money!!"

"Hehe! I didn't expect to run into them!!" The person in the passenger seat clenched their fist. "These three must be the people who booked the whole place in Sichuan for six figures, right?! This is truly a stroke of luck!"

That's right, they are the so-called robbers and kidnappers.

Several days ago, they learned about the three suddenly appearing girls through their intelligence network. Many people were eyeing these three mysterious girls, partly because of their beauty, and partly because of the valuable jewelry they had bought and the money they carried. The three sisters probably didn't know that their intelligence had already been spread to the shadows within the country by unknown individuals, and that countless people were watching them.

These robbers had only come out today to see if they could find any targets to make a quick buck, so they were just wandering around the area. They never expected to run into these three girls. At first, they thought they were mistaken, but after observing them for a while, they confirmed that they were indeed these three girls and then chose a good opportunity to strike.

Observing that the three girls walked onto the street unsuspectingly, they acted without hesitation, surprised by how easily it went. They took out rope and tied all three girls up, excitedly looking at the curves of their bodies covered by their clothes. Their next move was obvious: find a secluded spot, threaten them, and force them to hand over their money and belongings. If they refused, they wouldn't hesitate to use harsher methods.

"Hey, drive faster," the passenger urged.

"And you want me to drive faster?" the driver complained. "Do you think I'm driving a BMW? This is just a Wuling! How fast do you expect this thing to go—wait a minute!?!?!"

As they were fleeing, a high-end-looking sports car drove past their van without hesitation and crashed into it. Sparks flew, and the people in the van grabbed onto whatever was beside them to avoid being thrown about.

"You bastard!!" The person in the passenger seat rolled down the window and yelled angrily, "Where the hell did you get your intelligence from?! Do you even know the traffic rules?! What the hell are you trying to do?! I'll run you over! Do you believe I'll cripple you with my Wuling van?!"

The sports car ignored the man's shouts and responded with a powerful ramming man. This sparked a heated chase between the two, but unfortunately, there were no guns; otherwise, capturing this scene could have been a famous moment.

"Damn it!!" the passenger in the front seat cursed. "Who the hell did this guy come from?!"

"Should we hit him?!" the person in the driver's seat asked.

"Hit them! Hit them my ass! We'll take these people away first! Understand?!"

"Okay...okay then!!!"

Their immediate priority was to shake off the sports car. Who knew if they'd offended some powerful force? The important thing was to get away first; if necessary, they could use the person as a hostage. The two cars sped along the road, attracting considerable attention, but no one dared say a word, as they'd never seen anything like it before.

This was the first time they'd ever seen a sports car collide head-on with a Wuling minivan. The situation was beyond their wildest imaginations, and aside from calling the police, there was probably nothing they could do. The two cars drove all the way to the outskirts of the city. This thrilling chase even made passersby wonder if it was a movie scene, but it was real. Both vehicles accelerated desperately, the sports car repeatedly ramming into the Wuling. An ordinary person watching would probably be heartbroken.

As time and distance increased, several more vehicles appeared around them. Their target was undoubtedly the Wuling Hongguang minivan that had abducted the three girls. This sudden turn of events nearly brought the men inside to tears. Who knew what trouble they had gotten themselves into to have so many people chasing them? Were they really that unlucky?!

This high-speed car chase is about to end, not because of the traffic police's involvement, nor because more cars have joined the chase, but because someone is getting angry.

"Big brother!! What do we do now!?" the person in the driver's seat cried out, "Will we even get out of here alive!!"

"Don't panic!! Trust your brother!!" the passenger shouted. "Drive like crazy!! Don't worry about anything else!! Just keep going!!!"

"Okay, big brother!!!"

Perhaps it was the thrill of watching action-packed movies that had worked, but the men in the car were now filled with excitement. The rousing music playing on the car stereo further fueled their confidence in surviving. They were convinced that they could break through this chase and live the life they wanted.

Then their car was stopped by the cars blocking the way ahead. My friend, being a teenager and reality are two different dimensions... You need to figure that out.

Other cars blocked their escape route from behind, leaving them nowhere to run. Men in black suits got out of those cars; they were clearly not to be trifled with. When they saw these men, it meant the end for them.

"Big brother..." Everyone in the car looked at the person in the passenger seat at the same time.

"Calm down," the older brother said calmly. "Let's go out and meet them."

"it is good!!"

Several men opened the van door and got out. Instead of taking the three girls with them, they surrounded the van and glared menacingly at the approaching men in black. As the two sides confronted each other, the men in black parted to the sides, and a young man emerged from among them. The leader guessed this was probably their leader.

"Hey! You brat over there!" The eldest brother felt he couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so he spoke first, "Don't you know anything?! You dare to touch prey that others have already caught?! Do you even know the rules of our business?!"

"Huh? I don't understand what you're talking about." The young master was completely confused, but that didn't stop him from doing what he was going to do next. "You, you, you, you, and all of you, get out of here. I'll only say this once, I don't want to waste my time on you."

"What the hell do you mean?" the older brother asked angrily.

"I only mean one thing," the young master said, giving them the middle finger, "Beat them!"

Without any intention of reasoning, at the young master's command, the men in black swarmed forward, subdued the group, and then brutally beat them on the spot. Despite their desperate resistance, they were no match for the sheer number of opponents and ultimately met their demise.

"What the hell are you?" the older brother asked as he drifted off to consciousness.

"You deserve to know?"

Enraged, the young master delivered a heavy blow to his head, knocking him unconscious on the spot, and then kicked him several more times. Only after the other man was unresponsive did he feel relieved, and then looked at the others.

"Sorry," the young master said arrogantly, "money really can buy anything. You dare touch my woman? Keep hitting her!"

At the young master's command, the men in black surrounded and beat them again. The young master silently walked towards the Wuling Hongguang minivan. He had been waiting for this day. He had spent several days finally finding the whereabouts of these three girls. How could he let them go so easily? Fortunately, his father hadn't returned yet, so he still had a lot of money to spend.

These three girls were elusive, appearing here one minute and there the next, but he finally found them. Now he only had two things to do: one, retrieve the black gold card they were holding; two, do them a favor, and then… hehehehe…

Just as he was about to open the door of the Wuling Hongguang, the entire vehicle suddenly seemed to be cut in half and collapsed to the ground, where three girls stood surrounded by flames of various colors.

Chapter 29 Getting Angry

"I originally planned to just leave like this."

The watch face, radiating full power and encompassing the starry sky, displayed rotating gears and hands. Silver emblems appeared behind the girl, accompanied by the roars of dragons. Golden flames flickered in her black eyes, magical wings unfurled, and her long hair flowed like a goddess descending to earth. The wealthy young master, witnessing this, was stunned. He felt despair at his own judgment; how could his opinion have been so accurate?

Indeed, just as he had predicted, these three girls were definitely not the kind of flashy, cheap girls you'd see anywhere. He could tell they were extraordinary at a glance. The flames of different colors seemed to protect their master, swirling around the three girls and emanating a dangerous aura that warned those nearby. Everyone except the rich young master was stunned.

Unlike the rich young master who was lost in his own world, they truly felt an unusual pressure from the flames. Perhaps they shouldn't have accepted the commission in the first place.

"Hey! Young Master! Step back a bit!!" Daji walked up from behind and grabbed the rich young master's hand. "This is no joke, calm down!"

"Hmph, I'm very calm!"

The rich young master brushed Daji's hand away, then straightened his appearance in front of the three sisters and smiled confidently.

"Perhaps the three of you don't know me yet, but I already know the three of you." The rich young master stepped forward fearlessly. "You three are the Chen sisters, right?"

"Hmm, more or less," Ning said calmly. "It's kind of a pseudonym."

“I see,” the rich young master said with an expression that suggested he had expected this. “I knew these couldn’t be your names; they’re too tacky.”

"Say whatever you want," Ning asked, "What brings you here?"

"Well, here's the thing." The rich young master coughed twice, gathering his thoughts for what he was about to say. "You have one of my black gold credit cards, and you used it about a week ago, right? And you spent a six-figure sum. I don't really care about that amount of money, so I won't hold you responsible. In return, I'd like to get my credit card back, just to make a friend, okay?"

"No need for friendship," Ning Qian waved her hand. "Also, I'll return the money to you."

Whoosh-!

The black and gold credit card flew past him and landed firmly on the ground, revealing three-quarters of its length. Then, she tossed a large sack. As it landed, the rope binding the opening came undone, spilling out a large amount of glittering gold coins. The surrounding men in black were even more astonished; how could she lift such a heavy sack with one hand and then throw it?

"Hmph..." The rich young master whistled. "Well, let's talk about what just happened. It's not convenient to talk here, let's find somewhere else."

The rich young master hadn't expected the other party to actually have so much money. And if all the gold coins were real, their value far exceeded what the three of them had spent before. Looking at the bag of glittering gold coins, he couldn't help but swallow hard, but he knew that what truly mattered were the three girls before him.

"I advise you not to keep arguing with this," Ning kindly reminded him, "because my wife is about to get angry."

"Wife...?" The rich young master didn't understand, but continued to forcefully push forward his topic, "Let's talk about that later. Don't you think it's inconvenient to talk about it here? Let's talk in the car. I'll take all three of you home..."

bite----!!

The rich young master heard a sharp sound, and then, as if the space around him had been cleaved open, a black rift appeared. This rift carried a strong pull, as if trying to suck them all in. The young master screamed and ran to a place where the pull was no longer effective. When he turned back to look at the three girls, he noticed that the girl standing in the middle, with wings emerging from her back, had raised her hand at some point, and her eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Ding ding ding ding ding——————!

This time, the young master saw it: five blades, distorting space, were released from Li's hands, rapidly slicing through the surrounding space. Numerous spatial rifts appeared around these people, as if to drag them into an endless abyss. Only then did the young master realize the gravity of the situation.

"You bunch of people..." Li finally unleashed his pent-up anger, "What exactly do you want...?"

"——————!"

Everyone shuddered upon hearing this. They realized that this girl possessed extraordinary power capable of wiping them all out in one fell swoop. Their employer had truly bitten off more than they could chew this time.

Riri's reason for being angry was simple: she had finally taken that first step, only to have it all disrupted by this group of people. Riri coldly walked past the rich young master, the three of them walking nonchalantly amidst the powerful attraction, finally stopping in front of the rich young master who was barely holding on by the others.

"We've already returned the money and the card to you," Li said coldly. "Please stop bothering us. I'm only giving you one chance."

She snapped her fingers.

bump----!

The distant mountain peaks were instantly leveled with the loud bang, terrifying the group. Li took out a desktop computer, made a call, and then casually tossed it on the ground. She left with Ning and Xiao; she really didn't want to stay there any longer. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible, go back to her home, and see her family.

In fact, they had known for a long time that someone was secretly investigating them. However, with their strength, it didn't matter if they wanted to cause some trouble. Taking them out wouldn't be difficult. So it would be easier to deal with them after they made their move and gathered everyone together. But they chose this time to do it, which made Li very angry.

Li made a call to the police, left her location, and then turned and opened a portal to leave. The moment the three sisters left, everything returned to normal. Except that the three sisters were no longer in the same spot, everything was normal, as if nothing had happened. But they all knew that it had indeed happened.

Next, let's turn our attention back to the three sisters over there.

Li hurried towards her home, with Ning and Xiao following behind her with wry smiles. Passersby who recognized them might wonder if they'd seen them somewhere before. Anyone who witnessed the scene might be speechless with shock. However, Li had no time to dwell on those things.

She walked anxiously past the intersection, then stopped and looked towards her home. Everything was still the same; her home hadn't changed much. She stood at a distance, looking at it without going over.

"What's wrong?" Ning asked considerately. "Aren't you going over?"

"Hmm... I'm a little worried..." Li said anxiously, "When we get there, the people we see aren't them..."

"What's there to worry about?" Ning took her hand. "Come on, there's nothing wrong with getting a closer look, is there?"

Li followed Ning's lead, though she said she wanted to look from a distance, her body obediently following Ning. Li walked behind Ning, with Xiao pushing her from behind; the two had already planned that if Li tried to run away, they would immediately grab her and pull her back. But now it seemed unnecessary; Li was probably also concerned about her parents' situation.

After approaching Rie's original home, the three of them finally saw the whole house. It was a three-story building, and judging from the exterior of the door, it was clear that someone had been using it recently. Akira sniffed the scent, which was very similar to Rie's scent. It must be the scent of Rie's parents.

"How is it?" Ning asked.

“Nothing much…” Li felt a lump in her throat, “It’s just that… it’s so wonderful that this house is still the way it was.”

“Really…” Ning looked around the house. “Me too, so you won’t have that worrying expression on your face.”

"Did I ever make that kind of expression?" Li asked reproachfully.

“Yes,” Ning smiled, “you just haven’t noticed it yet. Right, Xiao?”

“Yes,” Xiao nodded in agreement, “Li-jie sometimes shows that lonely expression.”

"Is it really that obvious...?"

She scratched her head sheepishly. She thought she'd hidden it well enough, but it seemed she might need to learn a skill like maintaining a poker face. Speaking of which, did such a skill even exist…? She wasn't sure. She'd have to ask Olitzo for help later. As a businesswoman, that skill should be fundamental, right? She'd use her Magic Eye to see who else possessed it…

Speaking of which... I'm a little curious whether Hao's poker face skill counts as a kind of skill...

"I'm sorry to have worried you two," Li said, taking their hands. "But everything's alright now..."

Who are the three of you?

"Whoa!?!"

Just a second ago, Li was saying she was fine, but the next second she was startled. To everyone's surprise, the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman stepped out, looking at the three girls standing in the doorway with a puzzled expression. Since she came from this house, it meant she was probably the owner…

That is to say...

"mom…………"

The voice was low, but Ning couldn't possibly miss it. It was Li calling, her attention completely focused on the middle-aged woman before her, tears welling in her eyes. There was no doubt about it; that middle-aged woman was probably Li's biological mother. Now that they had met, there must be a lot they wanted to say to each other.

Ning silently gripped Li's hand tightly, preventing her from escaping, and took the initiative to greet her.

"Hello, Auntie," Ning said politely. "The three of us are your daughter Chunxia's best friends from junior high school."

"Spring and Summer's close friends from junior high..." Li's mother thought for a moment, "Oh, I see. You're Spring and Summer's classmates, right? What brings you here today?"

“That’s how it is,” Ning explained. “We realized we hadn’t seen Chunxia for a long time, so we thought we’d come and visit her.”

“I see…” Li’s mother nodded and said with a bitter smile, “You may not know about this… Chunxia developed AIDS at that time, so we took her to a hospital in a big city for treatment, but unfortunately we couldn’t save her… She passed away just half a year ago.”

"..."

No one spoke. Li's mother wiped her eyes with her sleeve. She certainly hadn't expected that her daughter had been reincarnated into another world, living a thriving life, and was even standing right in front of her now. But saying it now might confuse the other person, so naturally they kept quiet.

"So, I'm sorry, Chunxia is no longer here," Li's mother said apologetically. "Would you like to go in and take a look? We still have some of her belongings."

"No need, thank you, Auntie." Ning Daili continued the conversation, "Are you and Uncle doing well? Treating AIDS must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Well... it's alright, although we sold a lot of things, even my and my uncle's wedding rings, to pay for the treatment." Li's mother smiled. "But it's worth it no matter how much money we spend. I just feel a little sorry for her because we couldn't save her... I still don't know how she got AIDS, but I believe she definitely didn't do anything reckless."

"Did you sell your wedding ring?!"

Li asked in surprise.

“Well… because the treatment costs are really quite high,” Li’s mother explained, “we couldn’t raise enough money just by borrowing from relatives, so we sold the ring.”

"why is it like this……"

Ning is a person with common sense. For a couple, a wedding ring is a testament to their love and something of great significance. The fact that the couple sold their wedding ring to pay for Li's medical treatment shows how important Li is to them.

"That's enough for today..." Li calmed herself down. "The three of us came during the holiday, and now it's almost time to go back. If we have the chance in the future, we'll come to visit again."
