I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 94 - Bang, headshot
Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Bang, headshot
Looking at the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao felt as if she plunged into an ice cellar, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
“Is it really Zhi Qi?”
“How is that possible…”
Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.
[Hot Noodles: Although I also don’t want to believe it, all the clues now point to Zhi Qi. If you don’t trust it, then find a way to clear Zhi Qi’s name.]
[Hot Noodles: I will also look for more clues in my timeline.]
...
[Hot Noodles: But I must warn you, for our safety, you must be vigilant towards Zhi Qi.]
Hot Noodles sent three long messages.
Looking at the chat screen, one message after another, Fang Xiaocao painfully closed her eyes.
Fang Xiaocao wanted to refute Hot Noodles; this was presumption of guilt without substantial evidence, and Zhi Qi shouldn’t be labeled a suspect yet.
But Fang Xiaocao also knew Hot Noodles was right, that in the process of negating the presumption of guilt, often lies the confirmation of a suspect’s crime.
If there were no suspicion…
Why would someone else suspect and label someone a suspect?
Moreover…
She had brought up the clues herself.
“Sigh…”
Fang Xiaocao let out a heavy sigh, opened her eyes, and began responding to Hot Noodles’ messages: “I understand, I will be wary of Zhi Qi, but I do not agree with your presumption of guilt. I will collect clues to prove Zhi Qi’s innocence.”
Fang Xiaocao stubbornly said.
[Hot Noodles: Whatever you want!]
[Hot Noodles: I’m going to search for clues. Keep in touch whenever there’s any update.]
Hot Noodles sent two more messages.
“Okay!”
“Keep in touch at all times!”
Fang Xiaocao replied.
Fang Xiaocao put her phone back in her pocket.
Leaning against a tree trunk, she closed her eyes.
Inside Fang Xiaocao’s mind, a battle was waging.
One little person was vigorously defending Zhi Qi.
Another little person was listing Zhi Qi’s suspicions.
“Alas…”
Fang Xiaocao sighed deeply and opened her eyes.
“Aquarius, let’s go back,”
Fang Xiaocao stood up and called out to Aquarius who was on lookout in a tree.
“Yes, Princess…”
“Bang!”
Aquarius hadn’t finished speaking when a gunshot suddenly rang out in the woods.
A splash of warm liquid spilled on Fang Xiaocao’s face.
Smelling the blood rushing into her nostrils, Fang Xiaocao showed a horrified expression.
There was no time to think further!
Fang Xiaocao instantly ducked behind a large tree.
She wiped the warm liquid from her face.
And held it up to her eyes…
It was blood!
Fang Xiaocao was horrified!
She knew the blood on her face was Aquarius’s.
Realizing something…
Fang Xiaocao stared with wide, terrified eyes at the large tree where Aquarius had been hiding.
Hanging from a thick tree branch was a body.
Half of the body’s head had vanished.
Only a bloody, mangled cavity remained at the neck, connecting to the body.
That familiar clothing…
If not Aquarius, then who else could it be?
Fang Xiaocao covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out, but tears mixed with Aquarius’s blood continued to slide down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground.
Although she had already known from Hot Noodles that Aquarius would die in an assassination,
when it actually happened, witnessing Aquarius dying tragically in front of her eyes, Fang Xiaocao still couldn’t control her tears.
Sorrow swirled in her heart, lingering for a long time.
“Aquarius…”
“I will avenge you!”
Looking at Aquarius’s body, Fang Xiaocao bit her lip and muttered to herself.
If it weren’t for Aquarius, she would have been killed many times over by now.
In Fang Xiaocao’s heart, Aquarius had long ceased to be merely a tool for dealing with Blacklist, and had become her friend.
“Bang!”
Another gunshot rang out.
That gunshot, unlike the sound of a pistol, was very dull, like rolling thunder.
The bullet grazed Fang Xiaocao’s face and embedded itself in the trunk of the tree behind her, a few wisps of her hair blowing away with the wind.
It made Fang Xiaocao’s heart skip a beat.
“Did they find me?”
Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.
She silently crawled a few meters backward.
“Bang!”
Another thunderous sound echoed.
A bullet precisely hit the trunk of the tree next to Fang Xiaocao.
“They really did find me…”
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Fang Xiaocao lay flat on the ground, her muscles tensed, daring not to move.
Fearing that any small mistake might result in getting her head blown off.
Time kept passing…
Fang Xiaocao had thought several times about dashing out to quickly evacuate the area and return to camp, but she forcefully suppressed the urge.
Fang Xiaocao wasn’t sure if the sniper who had shot Aquarius was still around.
A sniper’s greatest virtue was patience.
Fang Xiaocao didn’t dare gamble her life that the other party had lost interest in her.
She took out her phone and opened WeChat.
Fang Xiaocao typed a message to Hot Noodles.
“Blacklist’s sniper has appeared, Aquarius was shot in the head, what should I do now?”
[Hot Noodles: Hide and don’t move.]
[Hot Noodles: The joint rescue team will be there in an hour. Until then, be careful on your own.]
Looking at the messages from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao felt numb.
“No…”
“What if in this hour, the sniper maneuvers to a position where they can shoot me?”
Fang Xiaocao clicked the send button with a bitter smile.
[Hot Noodles: Then it’s game over for you~]

Fang Xiaocao: !!!
“No…”
“Are you giving up on me just like that?”
Fang Xiaocao was bewildered.
“How did you escape?”
Fang Xiaocao asked.
[Hot Noodles: I never experienced this segment in my timeline.]
[Hot Noodles: But when I just went through your timeline, I survived until the rescue team arrived and the sniper didn’t show up again.]
Reading Hot Noodles’ messages, Fang Xiaocao laughed in frustration.
What a way to survive until the rescue team arrived!
True to her future self, it was something she would do.
“You can see the future, don’t you know when the sniper left?”
Fang Xiaocao tried one last struggle.
[Hot Noodles: Sorry, I don’t know.]
“6!”
Fang Xiaocao replied with a “6”.
“Alright, kneel and give in.”
“I’m tired, I’m going to sleep for a while.”
Fang Xiaocao joked in her misery.
[Hot Noodles: My lady, your servant takes her leave.]
Closing the chat interface, Fang Xiaocao reluctantly put away her phone.
Looking around, Fang Xiaocao did not want to sit still waiting for death, but thinking about the opponent, a sniper able to shoot someone in the head with one shot, she chickened out.
Against a sniper, hypnotism was truly powerless.
Who knows where the opponent was hiding?
Without even a direction, should she use hypnosis on the air?
“Sigh…”
“My life is really too hard…”
Fang Xiaocao sighed in resignation.
