205 I’m Dead? (II)

historical

The city guards who had received the news quickly rushed over and surrounded the entire building. They also used special high-level barrier items to turn the area into a no-fly zone in case the “otherworld creature” escaped on the Red Dragon.

However..

This time, they didn’t immediately kill him on sight. Instead, they followed the standard process of negotiating with the “unknown otherworld creatures” first if possible.

Lin Ye didn’t explain further. He just disarmed himself and raised his hands, letting the Professional Alliance members take the lead.

In this situation..

Not only did he lose his ID, but he was also identified by the system as a creature from another world, and he even summoned a Red Dragon that was difficult for ordinary people to obtain. He even got involved with two creatures from another world who had just opened a dimensional portal.

There was so much “evidence” against him. If Lin Ye didn’t see Huang Tianqi in person, no matter how he explained, the Professionals wouldn’t believe that he was a normal person.

Even if Lin Ye used his identity as a ‘special enrollment student’, there were also photos of Lin Ye in the newspapers and news from five months ago.

Based on the “evidence” that he had, the Professional Alliance would only think that he was an otherworldly creature that could change his appearance freely, such as the everchanging monster or the Skulu people, and that he had stolen Lin Ye’s identity.

..

“You’re saying that you’re a special enrollment student from the last college entrance examination, Lin Ye?”

In the interrogation room, a few Professionals in charge of interrogating Lin Ye sat in their chairs and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

‘Uh..?’

‘Is that even possible?’

Although they didn’t know the whole process, they had heard some rumors.

When Lin Ye first entered the Hive-like large-scale secret dungeon, the Hive-like teleportation door he summoned closed on its own after a few days.

The fire-passing badge that was used to open the Hive-like door also took the initiative to exit the secret dungeon.

The situation was the same to every genius challenger who had died tragically in the past.

They all ended up like this.

Be it the fire-passing badge or the Hive-like teleportation portal. They would not give them the chance to return home. They would only completely close the path to the Hive-like teleportation portal and use their actions to announce their death.

‘But you..’

‘Four months later..’

‘You’ve suddenly returned?’

Moreover, his body was filled with unknown energy from another world, and the system could not verify his ID. He could also summon an invincible Red Dragon summoning beast...

Who would believe that he was Lin Ye himself?

“I’m sorry.” Lin Ye sighed.

“I don’t want to tell anyone about the details of my journey for the time being. I only plan to tell Huang Tianqi. Ask him to meet me, and you’ll be able to confirm my identity.”

Some of the Professionals looked at each other before hesitantly replied.

“We’ll report your situation to Mr. Huang Tianqi, but he’s not in Jiang City right now and won’t be back for a while. Do you have anyone else to prove your identity?”

“How about the sect leader of the Spirit Charm Sect, Shangguan Yan?” Lin Ye tried to ask.

“He’s at Tianqi University,” they replied, “We have to send someone to send a letter to inform him. We also have to go through a lot of procedures before he can leave the university and come back.”

“How about Bai Zhi and Su Mumu? They are the other two girls who obtained special enrollment status too,” Lin Ye continued.

“These two students.. Should also be in university, right?” The Professionals asked one another.

“I’ll go take a look.”

With that, one of the Professionals left his seat, opened the door of the interrogation room, and quickly walked out.

Lin Ye continued,

“Their parents, my high school classmates, and my former teacher, Gan Le, can also confirm my identity.”

“Oh,”

“There’s also Wang Machao.”

“He should be at Tianqi University now too, right?”

“Since brother Chao isn’t a college student, he should be able to come back to Jiang City at any time. He can also confirm my—”

The interrogator suddenly coughed and interrupted him.

“Lin Ye.. You should have heard about the Soul Devourer, right?”

“Those otherworld creatures are rare, but they do exist. They can devour the corpses of the dead, transform into their appearance, and obtain part of their memories and skills. Then, they can sneak into the daily life of the dead and secretly hunt the people around them.”

“Other than that.”

“There are also otherworld beings that are more skilled at disguising and infiltration than the Soul Devourers.”

“So, your current situation is actually very troublesome. It’s easy to make mistakes if you only rely on your relatives and friends to distinguish between the two.”

Lin Ye furrowed his brows.

“Then what do we do?”

“Are you going to keep me locked up in Jiang City’s prison?”

“Well, about that..” The interrogator replied, “We need to confirm if your memory is accurate.”

“If it’s accurate,”

“We can allow you to move freely in Jiang City, but you must accept the Professional Alliance’s 24-hour surveillance to prevent you from doing anything harmful to society.”

“Then, we’ll invite a few Professionals with advanced reconnaissance skills from the dimensional battlefield on the front line to examine your body. We’ll make sure that the details of your body structure are the same as that of humans, and we’ll also determine what the unknown otherworldly energy in your body is and where it comes from.”

“We can only acknowledge you as a human after they’ve checked and found no problems.”

“Please forgive us.”

“The situation in the planar battlefield has been very tense recently. Those foreign forces that are hostile to us have formed a Planar Alliance. They have been thinking of ways to break through our defense line and sneak into our city.”
