I Received Messages From Future Self!

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: A Net by My Side

The taxi started and headed toward the hotel.

Fang Xiaocao looked out of the window with a cold gaze, devoid of any emotion.

At that moment, Fang Xiaocao’s heart was cold.

She felt that her past self had been too kind.

That was what had brought her so much trouble.

An hour later, the taxi stopped at the hotel entrance. Fang Xiaocao paid the fare by scanning a code, pushed open the car door, got out of the taxi, and walked into the hotel.

Fang Xiaocao approached the hotel front desk and opened another room, 507!

In this hotel, the rooms were arrayed with odd numbers down one side, even numbers down the other.

Room 507 was across from 508.

Fang Xiaocao planned to wait in room 507 for the assassin to show up.

Since Su Wanqing had asked for her room number, the assassin would certainly come.

As everyone knows, hotel rooms aren’t particularly well soundproofed.

In 507, Fang Xiaocao could completely hear everything happening outside the door of room 508.

After checking into the room, Fang Xiaocao rode the elevator directly to the fifth floor and used the room card to unlock the door to room 507.

She entered the room and inserted the card for electricity.

But Fang Xiaocao didn’t turn on the light and even turned off the fan in the bathroom to avoid impairing her hearing.

In the darkness, Fang Xiaocao lay on the bed, quietly listening to the footsteps outside the room.

Her mind worked hard to distinguish if the owner of the footsteps stopped in front of 508.

Her cell phone screen lit up, the glaring light catching Fang Xiaocao’s attention.

Fang Xiaocao picked up the phone and glanced at it—it was a WeChat message.

Fang Xiaocao frowned and unlocked the screen.

She tapped into WeChat and saw the message was from Hot Noodles.

Fang Xiaocao was taken aback, feeling a bit puzzled.

“Could there be some new clue?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured and tapped on Hot Noodles’ avatar to check the message.

[Hot Noodles: Your current thinking is very dangerous, don’t act rashly.]

Looking at the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes.

She pressed the keys to write a message.

“If I don’t do this, how can I break the situation?”

After composing the message, Fang Xiaocao sent it.

[Hot Noodles: The least thing to do is not to kill anyone!]

[Hot Noodles: I certainly don’t want to become a wanted criminal.]

Reading Hot Noodles’ message, Fang Xiaocao replied, “I don’t want that either, so I’ll do it flawlessly.”

[Hot Noodles: In this world, there is no perfect crime, even with hypnotism there would be traces left behind.]

[Hot Noodles: And in the future world, there are many high-tech means that can reconstruct the case.]

Looking at Hot Noodles’ message, Fang Xiaocao was taken aback and fell silent for a moment.

“So…”

“Why wasn’t Han Xue caught in your timeline?”

Fang Xiaocao inquired curiously.

[Hot Noodles: She escaped, but she’ll be caught sooner or later.]

[Hot Noodles: So, don’t be impulsive, don’t kill, we still have a great future ahead.]

Hot Noodles was trying to pull the saintly Fang Xiaocao back.

“I can’t be as weak as I was before.”

Fang Xiaocao replied with a cold face.

[Hot Noodles: Being strong doesn’t mean you have to kill.]

[Hot Noodles: There are many ways to prove your courage.]

Reading Hot Noodles’ message, Fang Xiaocao fell silent.

Inside, Fang Xiaocao was conflicted.

The devil and angel were constantly clashing in her heart.

Undeniably, Hot Noodles was right.

To kill is either once or countless times.

Once you’ve done it, there is no turning back.

“I…”

“I will try my best!”

After a long while, Fang Xiaocao replied.

[Hot Noodles: It’s not about trying, it’s a must!]

[Hot Noodles: You must promise me!]

Hot Noodles’ attitude was very firm.

Even through typing, Fang Xiaocao could still feel the unquestionable tone of Hot Noodles.

Fang Xiaocao sat up in bed.

Her eyes were glued to the cell phone, staring at the message from Hot Noodles, she remained silent for a long time.

“Fine, I promise you!”

“But if my life is threatened, I won’t just sit and wait for death.”

After a long time, Fang Xiaocao composed a message and sent it to Hot Noodles.

[Hot Noodles: Alright, restrain your murderous intent, we can’t go down the wrong path.]

In the darkness, Fang Xiaocao nodded her head.

[Hot Noodles: Now, I can give you some useful information.]

[Hot Noodles: After investigation, I can confirm that Su Wanqing is not the one trying to kill you, she is just being used by someone else.]

[Hot Noodles: But who is using her, I have no idea.]

Reading the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.

“Su Wanqing isn’t the killer?”

Fang Xiaocao sent a message back in a hurry.

“Is your information reliable?”

“Could it be a smoke screen put out by someone?”

Fang Xiaocao sent several messages one after another.

[Hot Noodles: Reliable, absolutely reliable, I have double-checked it.]

“If Su Wanqing isn’t suspect, why don’t you just directly ask Su Wanqing, who asked her to do this?”

Fang Xiaocao frowned and voiced her doubts.

Since Hot Noodles was so certain, Fang Xiaocao stopped doubting the truth of the information.

Hot Noodles was her, after all, and had lived a life decades longer than hers, so when it came to wisdom, she could only be smarter.

[Hot Noodles: I also want to ask…]

“Then why not ask?”

Fang Xiaocao asked with a frown.

[Hot Noodles: Because, in my timeline, Su Wanqing is already dead.]

It took a while for Fang Xiaocao to send back a message that took Fang Xiaocao by surprise.

“Su Wanqing is dead?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

“How did Su Wanqing die?”

“When did she die?”

“Why haven’t you mentioned this before?”

Fang Xiaocao composed three messages asking in succession.

[Hot Noodles: She just died not long ago!]

[Hot Noodles: Just as I was investigating her, she was silenced by someone.]

Fang Xiaocao put down her phone and gazed into the darkness at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes somewhat bewildered.

Fang Xiaocao didn’t know…

Whether this news was good or bad.

The good news was that Su Wanqing had been cleared of the suspicion.

She had not betrayed her but was just a fool being used by others.

Even, she might have died without realizing what she had actually done.

The bad news was…

The events unfolding around her seemed more complicated than she had imagined, as if an invisible net had quietly spread out and was quietly enveloping her within.

“Damn it…”

“This is so annoying!”

Fang Xiaocao grabbed her hair, muttering in frustration.

After a long time, Fang Xiaocao picked up her cell phone again and sent a message to Hot Noodles, “Other than Su Wanqing, has anyone else died?”

Fang Xiaocao tried to use the process of elimination through death to clear the people around her of suspicion, one by one.

Fang Xiaocao was capable of altering their fates…

Having the ability to foresee the future, she could at least give it a try.

Of course…

Changing fate might not always turn out well.

It could possibly lead to their premature death.
