Chapter 30 Thorough Political Review
Li Ji sat on the steps, staring blankly at the red carpet in front of his house.

The carpet was missing a corner; it was damaged when he was 16 years old, when he stepped on it while putting up couplets.

His mind kept repeating what Chen Jiajia had just said in front of everyone.

"Li Ji has disappeared."

"Three days ago, I asked Gong Xinyu about Li Ji's recent situation. They went to the same university."

"Gong Xinyu told me that Li Ji has gone missing. The whole school is looking for him, but there is still no trace of him."

"The counselor contacted his parents. I saw Aunt Liu yesterday. She probably hasn't gone to school yet, but it will be soon."

Being missing is better than being dead.

But there are different situations when someone goes missing.

One type is that they vanish into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

In this situation, all I need to do is meet with my parents, make up an excuse to get by, buy a cell phone, and keep in touch frequently after I arrive on Earth, and everything will be fine.

As for other social connections, they don't matter; let the school handle that.

The second scenario is more complicated—soul swapping.

The other party disappeared voluntarily.

If Dailulu, who is the top student in the class, is so human-like when she comes to Earth, then the alien Li Ji must be even more so.

If I were to make headlines one day, my parents would be terrified.

Li Ji decided to go home first to comfort his parents, and then go to Chengdu to investigate his disappearance next time he came to Earth.

What reason could I possibly have to go home and see my parents now?
Delulu bent down, looking excited: "I never expected there would be an Earthling with the exact same name as you, meow. What a coincidence, meow."

"We've had enough fun, let's go make some friends now, meow."

Shark asked, "Class monitor, how can I make friends with Earthlings?"

"You've come to the right person, meow."

Delulu straightened up, head held high, and said proudly, "I've previewed the entire book on Earthling social skills, meow."

"I've discovered that Earthlings are very different from us; they're a socially addict cat."

"They'll chat indiscriminately with strangers and then quickly establish a friendship, meow."

"So, I've decided that we'll just go out on the street and randomly ask someone if they want to be our friend, meow."

"Although this is strange, that's just how Earthlings are, meow."

What kind of Earthling does this?

Lee Ki casually remarked, "Why don't you go door-to-door asking if people want to be friends?"

Dailulu's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Li Ji's hand: "Great idea, meow! How come we didn't think of that, meow?"

"Let's start with this one, meow."

Dai Lulu turned to knock on her own door, but Li Ji quickly grabbed her.

What are you doing, meow?

I think...

Li Ji slowly uttered each word, his mind already urging the brainless man to hurry up and come up with an excuse.

What do you think, meow?

"I think I should keep this room. You guys go downstairs."

"Why meow?"

"Because—because, we need to be within twenty meters of each other. You'd better stay on the floor between us, it'll be safer. This is the top floor, you go downstairs, and Shark Baby goes to the fourth floor, it'll be safer there."

Dailu squinted and looked Li Ji up and down.

"You're weird, meow. Why do you insist on going to Earthling Li Ji's house, meow?"

Li Ji felt uneasy. This explanation was definitely not going to fool Dai Lulu, who was the top student in the grade.

I need to come up with a new excuse quickly.

"because--"

Delulu rudely interrupted him.

"Because you want his family to think you're Li Ji from Earth, so you can see the surprised look on his parents' faces, right, meow?"

Lee Ki: Huh? Is that right?

Dailulu looked at Li Ji with a mischievous grin, gently scratching his arm with her fingers.

Li Ji responded perfunctorily and mechanically, "Yes, yes, yes. You actually guessed it right. Class monitor is so smart."

If I ever have any more fantasies about Dailulu, I'll be Shark's arm!

"How could such a little trick possibly fool me, meow?"

"Actually, I'd like to do that too, meow. But since we share the same name, I'll give you the chance, meow." "But your current disguise might not fool them, meow. You need to put on his son's appearance first, meow."

"But we've never seen this Earthling Li Ji before, where are we supposed to find what he looks like, meow?"

Li Ji could certainly transform himself directly, but that would make it impossible to explain to his companions and the teacher on the other end of the monitor. He had to come up with a solution.

The door to room 602 opened, and people dressed in mourning clothes filed out, carrying the body downstairs.

They looked at the three strange men sitting on the steps with eerie eyes.

"Why aren't you leaving? Are you waiting to be taken advantage of?"

Shark Baby peered out excitedly like a groundhog: "Is there something to eat?"

"Not thinking clearly."

My aunt muttered a curse and left.

Li Ji called out to Chen Jiajia, who was walking at the back.

"Hello, do you have a photo of Lee Ki?"

"We're quite curious about what people with the same name look like. If we have the chance, we can keep an eye out and help find them."

Chen Jiajia took out her phone with some difficulty.

"Yes, I do have them, but it's not very convenient to show them."

Lee Ki had a bad feeling.

"It's okay, let's just look at the cat."

Chen Jiajia searched through her phone for a long time.

"This one is barely acceptable."

In the photo, Lee Ki is wearing only underwear and dancing Michael Jackson's top-and-bottom dance on a bed.

The photo is surrounded by a blurry black circle, clearly taken secretly through that small hole.

Li Ji looked at the slightly gloomy woman in front of him with surprise.

Is this one barely acceptable?
What's left?

Chen Jiajia, you pervert!
I want to call the police!

No! I want to petition!

I'm going to take this to the United Nations!
No! I'm going to take this to the Galactic Court of Justice!

After seeing Chen Jiajia off, Li Ji stood there blankly, while Dai Lulu sighed beside him.

"I never imagined that Earthlings would behave so strangely when they're alone, meow. Looks like I still have a lot to learn, meow."

"Don't look, don't learn, you don't know anything. Go downstairs and make some friends, hurry up, I need to be alone for a while."

"Try to mimic a cat first, and I'll see if you look like one."

Li Ji sighed, a blue pulse flashed across his body, and he transformed back into his original form.

Dailulu rested her chin on her hand and examined her carefully.

"A little chubby, meow. What do you think, Shark?"

"Hairline is receding a bit."

"Make your eye circles a little darker, meow."

Li Ji felt as if he had been shot by arrow after arrow.

Stop cursing. Can 15 years old and 22 years old be the same thing?
Another pulse flashed through his body, and Lee Ki transformed back into his 15-year-old self—a pimple-free version.

"That's right, meow."

After watching Dailulu and Shark Bao go downstairs, Li Ji's body pulsed again, transforming into a slightly flawed 22-year-old version.

Everyone cherishes their youth, but there are too many things to explain to one's parents. One can't very well say that one stole ginseng fruit and thus became young again, can one?
He stood at the door of the home he had lived in for 22 years, but felt no sense of belonging at all.

Instead, there was a deep sense of unease and tension.

It's as if you're heading to the battlefield, and if you're not careful, everything you care about will collapse.

"No, it's too risky to go home using my own identity."

A blue pulse flashed across his body again, and Li Ji immediately changed his appearance.

Business jacket, thermos, full business suit.

A familiar and warm voice came from behind me.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

There were also two unfamiliar voices.

"Wang Wang!"
