You are breaking the law

Fang Qi looked at the woman who was firmly pinned to the floor by Liguang.

Those long legs, wrapped in tight trousers, were kicking wildly against the floor!

Her black ankle boots scraped line after line of gray marks across the floor!

Her neat, black short ponytail had completely come undone during the struggle, with fine wood chips clinging to her hair.

And her heroic yet delicate face was full of pain and anger!

Her brows were tightly knit, and her light brown eyes looked as if they were about to shoot fire!

...Huh?

The beautiful police officer...

Gu Xi?!

For a brief moment, Fang Qi's brain completely short-circuited!

Wait...

Why would she suddenly appear here?

Then, he suddenly snapped back to his senses!

Right...

Gu Xi...!

Gu Xi, she was also a key NPC!

Just like Lin Xiaoyou! Just like An Lian!

She also had those "dreams" about the previous loops!

Fang Qi narrowed his eyes, staring at the beautiful police officer who was still struggling in vain on the floor.

So...

She tracked him here?

It seemed that this beautiful police officer...

Had been through quite a lot!

Speaking of which, in the loop before the last, he had just seen her at his house!

At that time, she led a team of police officers, broke down the door, and rushed into his home!

However, when she broke in, Liguang had already "killed" him, and he was experiencing things from Liguang's perspective.

After a very, very long time, he finally saw this beautiful police officer again through Liguang's eyes.

Lin Xiaoyou had been present at that time, too!

At that time, Lin Xiaoyou, who had already recovered her memories, was dragged by her hair by Liguang to the floor-to-ceiling windows...

And had her neck snapped right in front of Xiao Qing, who was shooting wildly from the building opposite!

Gu Xi was there at the time!

She saw that scene with her own eyes!

Saw his corpse, and saw the entire process of Liguang snapping Lin Xiaoyou's neck!

She even ordered her men to open fire, and the bullets once again shattered Liguang's crimson eye!

Ultimately causing Liguang to throw herself onto his corpse, reach into the back of her own neck, dig out her core, and destroy herself for love!

That time, Gu Xi had been involved!

She would definitely remember that "dream"!

But...

Looking at the still-struggling police officer, Fang Qi slightly clenched his fists.

That dream alone couldn't explain why she suddenly appeared here now!

For her to appear here...

It could only be because of the previous loop!

In the previous loop, Lin Xiaoyou drove that pink mini EV, taking him, Xiao Qing, and Liguang—the four of them speeding all the way to this wooden cabin!

They opened the mechanism and entered the secret underground research facility.

Throughout that entire loop, Gu Xi hadn't appeared even once from beginning to end.

He had thought that Gu Xi simply had no "role" in the previous loop, that she probably hadn't gotten involved at all.

But looking at it now, he had been too naive.

In this loop, she actually appeared here, right inside this wooden cabin!

...What did this mean?

Fang Qi felt a slight chill run down his spine.

It meant... in the previous loop, Gu Xi had followed them too!

She had followed Lin Xiaoyou's pink mini EV, tracking them all the way to this deep mountain forest, right to this wooden cabin!

And in this loop, she had that "dream"!

She clearly remembered this place!

So she knew this location!

And so, she came straight here?

In that case...

Did this beautiful police officer also think there was something wrong with those "dreams"?

Well, that made sense.

After all...

These key NPCs, whether it was An Lian, Lin Xiaoyou, or Gu Xi...

Had probably experienced an early morning nightmare that looped eighty-two times, right?

Lin Xiaoyou and An Lian both started to realize something was wrong after having that looping nightmare!

An Lian had sent him a text message, and Lin Xiaoyou had even... used her own life to verify her suspicions!

And the one in front of him...

Fang Qi looked down.

On the floor, Gu Xi was still struggling desperately.

Her hands were firmly pinned above her head by Liguang with just one hand, both wrists clamped tightly!

Liguang was straddling her, using her lower legs to press Gu Xi's legs ruthlessly against the floor!

Her entire body was almost completely locked down by Liguang, with only her feet barely able to twist, those black ankle boots still kicking the ground in vain.

Her chest was heaving violently as she continued to struggle!

"Let... me... go!"

She squeezed out these words through gritted teeth!

But she couldn't break free at all!

Liguang had her entirely nailed to the floor!

Soon, Gu Xi also realized that she couldn't break free, so...

She jerked her head up, her light brown eyes glaring straight at Fang Qi!

Her gaze was practically shooting sparks!

"You!"

Her voice was hoarse and urgent!

"Tell your AI companion to stop at once!"

She was actually still using a commanding tone!

She raised her chin; even though she was pinned to the floor, her hair messy, and in a wretched state...

She still tried to maintain her authority!

"I am a police officer!"

She emphasized her words heavily!

"You are... assaulting a police officer!"

...?

Fang Qi looked at her, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Wait a minute...?

I say, Miss Matchmaker...

You just almost blew my head off with a gun!

Fang Qi was almost angered into laughing by her tone!

Just now, that dark muzzle had been pointed almost directly at his forehead!

If Liguang hadn't reacted quickly and pushed her gun-holding hand upward before the shot was fired...

He would already have a bloody hole in his forehead right now, okay!

Those bang bang bang shots had blasted several bullet holes into the roof of the cabin!

The sunlight shining through those bullet holes was hitting his face right now!

You almost blew my head off, and now that you've been subdued by my Liguang and pinned to the floor unable to move...

You actually dare to order me around so self-righteously?

I really...!

He glared at this beautiful police officer who was forcing herself to stay calm through gritted teeth!

...What are you being so stubborn for!

But speaking of which...

It really had been a long time since he and this beautiful police officer had crossed paths.

In the loop before the last, she had only met his corpse...

Furthermore, in this loop, he and Gu Xi hadn't met before this, right?

This time, it seemed it was still their first meeting?

...How many first meetings was this for them now?

Hiss, it really was quite fascinating.

So, according to normal logic, the two of them shouldn't know each other at all right now?

Hmm...

Alright!

A perfect opportunity to test this mysterious beautiful police officer!

Fang Qi immediately adjusted his expression.

He furrowed his brows, slightly tilting his head...

And scrutinized the woman pinned beneath Liguang from head to toe!

Her messy black hair, her cheeks slightly flushed with anger, her violently heaving chest...

Finally, his gaze landed on her right hand.

That hand was being firmly pressed against the floor by Liguang...

Still gripping that handgun tightly!

Holding on for dear life, refusing to let go!

The cold metallic gleam made him narrow his eyes slightly.

He had almost gotten his head blown off by this thing...!

"I say, miss?"

He reached out and pointed at Gu Xi's casual clothes:

"Where exactly do you look anything like a police officer?"

Gu Xi's furious gaze immediately froze.

Fang Qi turned his finger and pointed at the gun tightly clutched in Gu Xi's hand...

He tilted his chin up, looking down at her with disdain!

"Besides, you pointed a gun at my forehead the moment you came up..."

Towering over her, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smirk!

"Would a qualified police officer do that?"

"If my AI companion hadn't been fast enough, I'd have an extra hole in my head right now, wouldn't I?"

He bent down, leaning a bit closer, and stared into Gu Xi's eyes, which had suddenly become slightly panicked:

"You? A cop?"

He straightened up, clapped his hands, and scoffed,

"If you ask me, you're just some outlaw hiding out in the deep mountains and old forests!"

He waved his hand dismissively:

"Stop pretending and surrender! I'm going to march you right down to the police station!"

Turning the tables!

The police lady before him was stunned for a moment...

Then her eyes instantly went wide!

Her cheeks rapidly flushed bright red at a visible rate! The red of shame and indignation!

Her lips trembled violently!

"You... you...!!"

Out of sheer fury, she actually couldn't form a complete sentence for a moment!

She struggled again with all her might!

Thrusting her shoulders up and twisting her waist forcefully, she tried to buck off the silver-haired girl straddling her!

But Liguang didn't budge an inch. The small hand gripping Gu Xi's wrist applied a bit of force...

"Crack...!"

A faint sound of bone friction came from Gu Xi's wrist!

"Ugh!"

She let out a muffled groan!

"Don't...!"

The thin layer of sweat on her forehead grew denser!

And then...

She finally gave up struggling.

Her chest heaving violently, she glared straight at Fang Qi!

"My ID...!"

Her voice trembled slightly from anger and humiliation!

"It's in my jacket pocket!"

She gritted her teeth!

"Look. For. Yourself!"

She took a deep breath, her chest rising sharply as she glared angrily at Fang Qi:

"My identity is beyond doubt!"

"What you are doing is assaulting a police officer!"

"You are breaking the law!"

Fang Qi: "...?"

I mean, sis...

Is threatening all you know how to do?

Can't you just talk normally!

But Gu Xi seemed to be blinded by anger.

She was still glaring at him, continuing her threats:

"If you don't make her let me go, I will...!"

"Bzzzt—"

A short burst of electricity!

A faint blue electric arc shot from Liguang's fingertips, accurately sinking into the side of Gu Xi's waist pinned beneath her.

"Yaaaaahhhhh—!"

Gu Xi's threat instantly turned into an off-key shriek!

Her body arched upward violently, her back leaving the floor!

Her pitch-black ponytail violently swept across the ground!

Her body spasmed severely, and her neck snapped back!

Fang Qi blinked.

Uh...

Wifey...

You're addicted to shocking people, aren't you!

Whatever, as long as she doesn't shock him!

As for Gu Xi, after her whole body stiffened for a few seconds...

Like a puppet with its strings cut, she slumped limply back onto the floor.

Those ankle boots that had been kicking against the ground... finally stopped struggling, splaying weakly to the sides.

The handgun also slipped from her fingers.

"Clatter."

It dropped onto the wooden floor of the cabin.

Her lips were slightly parted, and trembling gasps came from her throat, but she was already...

Unable to speak a single complete word.

Yet those light brown eyes still showed not the slightest hint of submission!

Filled with anger and resentment! Glaring fixedly at the silver-haired girl straddling her!

And Fang Qi...

He silently took a half-step back.

Beautiful officer sis, you'd better stop glaring...

Tell me, why did you have to go and provoke my wife!

Right now...

She's full of pent-up anger!
