The Young Lady Who Swapped Bodies with the Villain

Chapter 17 • 1,491 words • 13 min read

In the warehouse, the smoke cleared.

“Cough, cough,” He Zunyi was choked by the acrid smoke, unable to stop coughing, and her eyes were covered with tears.

Red, on the other hand, was holding a mechanical arm and clicking her tongue.

“Tsk, he got away.”

Just now, a mysterious guy took the previous man away. Judging from his skills, he was no ordinary person.

Could he be an accomplice? Does this woman have that much value to make such a person take action?

But when He Zunyi saw the mechanical arm in Red’s hand, she roughly understood what had happened.

It turned out that the guy thought her mission had failed and she hadn’t successfully swapped bodies, so he mistook Xia Yuhe for her and took her away.

But that means I have no backup now.

Just as He Zunyi was still worried about how to continue handling the task the organization wanted to take over, she suddenly realized that since in that guy’s eyes, she was Xia Yuhe, then she didn’t need to take over the organization’s life and could just live on as this young lady.

After some mental calculations, He Zunyi also decided on the next steps. Anyway, the young lady using his dying body couldn’t do anything big.

Although she didn’t know exactly what kind of person this young lady was, the organization’s previous investigation of this guy had given him a rough idea.

At least she wouldn’t expose herself in front of those family members who didn’t know her well.

Red naturally didn’t know what terrible things He Zunyi was thinking. She just turned her head and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, but where is this? What’s that in your hand? How do I get back?”

He Zunyi imitated Xia Yuhe’s panicked tone, feigning ignorance and acting like an innocent girl who had just been kidnapped and almost ** by a stranger.

Next, Red simply told her the location of the warehouse, contacted the police, dissected the deformed creature, and left at lightning speed.

Watching the departing magical girl, He Zunyi couldn’t help but sigh, “Does the organization really intend to defeat her?”

When she was dissecting the deformed creature, she couldn’t even see what happened.

She just saw the deformed creature broken into several pieces, and then turned into black gas and disappeared.

Just thinking about such an attack being used on herself, she probably wouldn’t have enough lives.

It seemed that the guy only left a hand behind, which meant that Red had shown mercy.

He Zunyi finally looked at the computer and the two helmets.

She picked up the mechanical arm that Red had torn from that guy’s hand, used it as a club, and started smashing the helmets.

This helmet was the soul-swapping helmet that she had invented.

As long as two people wore the same helmet, they could swap bodies.

It was currently in the prototype stage and was originally her means of survival.

But now that Xia Yuhe, who had occupied her identity and body, would most likely try to use the same plan to take the body back, she couldn’t give her such an opportunity.

After a laborious act of violence, the two helmets had become pieces. He Zunyi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

This body had produced a lot of sweat. She couldn’t help but sniff her hair, which actually had a faint girlish fragrance.

“Just how perfect of a life do you live, you woman?”

At this time, she didn’t care whether this fragrance was a naturally occurring hormonal scent or whether it had been marinated in shower gel or something. She walked to the computer.

“The last thing to deal with is this software.”

As long as I deal with this software, then….

He Zunyi pondered for a moment, and finally just pulled out the software’s USB drive.

She thought to herself, I still want to live a few hundred years longer.

Just as she had dealt with everything, the police arrived.

After an investigation and statement, she was released.

Since it was already late, she didn’t return to Xia Yuhe’s own residence outside, but hailed a taxi and found a hotel to stay in.

On the other side, Red wasn’t idle either. After patrolling the city as usual, she didn’t go straight home, but went to a building.

This building was the location of the Monster Research Institute.

The Bottled Flame that she had previously given to Xia Yupeng seemed to have yielded some research results, so she planned to come and take a look today.

The entire building was brightly lit, with people coming and going, some holding documents, some holding reports, and some chatting with colleagues in front of the coffee machine.

She didn’t go in directly, but first transformed the princess dress on her body into a disguise that she usually wore.

On her body was a set of white short sleeves, denim shorts, and flat cloth shoes, looking like a tomboy.

She took the pass that Xia Yupeng had sent to Saint Church in advance, showed it to the guard, and entered here.

Having come here, it’s true that Red didn’t actually know where Xia Yupeng was, so she had no choice but to ask someone.

So she walked to the little girl playing on her phone at the front desk and said, “Just asking, where is Xia Yupeng?”

“Who are you?”

“It’s inconvenient to say who I am specifically, but I have an appointment,” Red said calmly.

“He’s unavailable, please go back.”

“Go back?”

What a joke, he was the one who made an appointment with me at this time, and now he’s telling me to go back?

“Forget it, if it’s inconvenient to reveal, I’ll go find him myself.”

Saying that, Red went directly around the front desk, intending to search room by room.

Anyway, the place wasn’t big, and others would give her some clues.

Although she also had the method of using telekinesis to detect directly, this was, after all, someone else’s research institute.

Using it casually would be like peeping into people’s privacy. Seeing some research data or experimental reports, she could turn a blind eye, but if she saw Xia Yupeng having an affair with his secretary, that would be something she could never forget.

She still remembered when she was in school, in order to retrieve the diary in which she recorded her privacy from the teacher, she accidentally saw the bald-headed director of education in bed with a blonde beauty when she opened global telekinetic detection. Whether it was an affair or not, she didn’t know.

“Hey, unauthorized personnel can’t go over there, quickly stop her!” With the front desk lady’s cry, a young man in a security guard uniform appeared in front of Red.

“I’m sorry, please go back first. Ordinary people can’t enter here, it’s easy for something to happen.

If you’re okay, please go back first.”

“Go back and do what? I’m here to see Xia Yupeng today, why should I go back? Since I can’t go up, then you quickly call him down now. I have something to talk to him about.”

The security guard looked at Red, revealing a difficult expression, but didn’t give way.

At this time, the front desk little girl muttered in a low voice: “This kind of uninvited woman, with such an aggressive look, I don’t know where she came from, this ‘first wife’.”

Although her voice was soft, it was heard by the black-veiled woman who walked in.

The woman immediately became alert, stopped her steps, and stared at Red.

Red was completely unaware of this.

Red looked at the security guard in front of her. He, at this moment, had an awkward smile.

He was a little reluctant to refuse the request of a beautiful woman, but there seemed to be a hidden reason.

Xia Yupeng, could it be that he wants to embezzle the Bottled Flame and run away?

This concern was not without reason. Although the Bottled Flame was of no use to a magical girl like Red, it could greatly enhance the power of those monsters if it was sold to them, he could get a lot of money.

“Hurry up and call Xia Yupeng down! Don’t tell me he’s hiding and doesn’t dare to see me. Does he want to tear up the agreement?”

Immediately, Red intended to get angry, wanting to forcefully drive Xia Yupeng out of here.

But at this time, a woman patted her from behind.

Red turned her head and saw a beautiful woman dressed in black, wearing a black veil, with a very angry expression.

Then, she slapped Red in the face.

Red wanted to question who the other party was, but at this time, she noticed that the others in the hall noticed what was happening, and when they looked at them, they were clearly looking at her with disgust.
