I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

【learn! 】

[Simulation initialization completed, Lu Ge, wish you good luck! ]

【Today's dream, start! 】

......

When Lucius opened his eyes again, he found himself still lying on the big bed in the master bedroom of Clovis's mansion.

TP on the spot belongs to yes.

The sunlight shines into the room through the gaps in the curtains, forming golden rays of light.

Lucius first checked his physical condition.

Very good, everything is normal, no discomfort.

Then, he subconsciously turned around and looked around, only to find that the other side of the bed was empty - Ivilia was not beside him.

Could it be that Iveliya does not exist in the simulation world?

"Ah, the night of wanting love."

Lucius sighed, then stood up and walked towards the clock not far away to check the current date.

"Huh? This is... three days later?"

Lucius was surprised to find that the time in the simulated world was only three days faster than the real world.

This situation was extremely rare in past simulations, after all, it was either ten years ago or ten years later.

This way, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Things are starting to get interesting.

Lucius's mouth corners curled up slightly, his heart filled with curiosity.

The simulation time jumps to three days later, which means that something important may have happened in these three days.

He decided to collect relevant information as quickly as possible.

After getting dressed, Lucius walked out of the bedroom and happened to meet the maid who was about to knock on the door.

"Master, you're awake."

The maid immediately stepped back half a step, folded her hands in front of her apron, and knelt down to salute:

"Breakfast is ready. Also, Her Highness Plotina sent a message saying that she will visit you in an hour to discuss important matters."

"Plotina?"

Lucius was slightly surprised, then nodded:

"Got it. Prepare the reception room. For refreshments...let's have the honey cheesecake."

Then he paused and asked casually:

"By the way, do you know where Iveliya is?"

"Who are you talking about? I'm sorry, I've never heard of that name."

The maid tilted her head, a look of visible confusion on her face.

"Ah, that's fine, go ahead and do your work."

A look of understanding flashed in Lucius' eyes, and he waved his hand, signaling the maid not to worry.

After the maid's light footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lucius rubbed his chin, thinking about the reason for Plotina's sudden visit.

There is no Iveliya in the simulation world, so why did Plotina take the initiative to visit?

It seems that in this simulated world, his relationship with Plotina has made some progress.

After finishing breakfast in the restaurant, Lucius casually flipped through the newspaper of the day, hoping to find some important events that had happened in the past three days.

Sure enough, the front page headline immediately caught his attention——

A Night of Terror! A Floating Corpse Reappears in the Luminara River!

Lucius' eyes lit up and he quickly browsed the contents of the newspaper.

According to reports, the body of a young woman, believed to be in her early twenties, was found by a fisherman fishing in the Luminara River late last night.

The body was unnaturally pale, its internal organs were completely hollowed out, and its chest cavity was like a terrifying void, exactly the same as the method used in the previous murder.

What is even more disturbing is that the deceased's face looked peaceful, as if he was unaware of death.

This is the second similar case in recent times, causing widespread panic among the people.

"I see."

Lucius nodded thoughtfully, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Plotina's visit is probably about this matter."

"It seems that at this point in time, Plotina and I have begun to cooperate in investigating the strange things happening in the imperial capital."

He secretly noted this time point.

If the real world follows the same trajectory as the simulation, then the same murder will occur at the same time.

Perhaps if we acted in advance, we could have prevented an unnecessary tragedy.

Just as Lucius was lost in thought, a servant's announcement came from the hall:

"Master, Her Highness Plotina has arrived."

Lucius put down the newspaper, straightened his clothes, and then slowly walked towards the reception room.

In the reception room, Plotina sat upright on the sofa, her well-cut black dress outlining her elegant curves, making her look both dignified and beautiful.

When Lucius's footsteps sounded outside the door, she raised her head slightly, a hint of obvious joy flashed in her eyes, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and her breathing seemed to become a little lighter.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, she nodded to him politely, but the corners of her mouth had already raised an obvious arc, and a soft light appeared in her eyes.

"Good morning, Plotina."

Lucius greeted her casually and sat down next to her.

"You came to see me so early, if you didn't miss me, then you must be here because of the corpse floating in the river, right?"

"When are you going to stop being so narcissistic, Lucius?"

Plotina sighed softly, with an imperceptible fondness in her tone.

She suddenly leaned forward, her slender fingers brushing across Lucius's collar, skillfully smoothing out the slightly wrinkled fabric, her movements so smooth that it seemed like this was her daily routine.

Her fingertips accidentally brushed against the side of his neck, leaving behind a faint scent.

Lucius:? ? ?

Isn't this right?

Why did Plotina suddenly become so proactive?

Plotina didn't notice Lucius's abnormality and naturally leaned on his shoulder, close enough for him to feel her breath.

She tilted her head slightly, her hair brushing against his chin, and murmured softly:

"You should have seen today's newspaper. Another murder, and the method is exactly the same as the previous one."

"This is the second similar case in a month. My father takes it very seriously and hopes we can find out the truth as soon as possible and calm the public's panic."

"...Any clues?"

Lucius was silent for a moment, deciding to ignore Plotina's abnormality for the time being.

Plotina waved to the maid, who immediately took out a few photos from the folder she was carrying and handed them to Lucius.

"Here are pictures of the two victims and the scene where they were found."

Lucius examined the photos carefully but could not see any problems.

The first victim was a middle-aged man, while the second was a young woman, with nothing in common.

"Is there any connection between the two victims? Family connection? Social circle? Or are they members of the same organization?"

Lucius asked.

"No connection has been found yet."

Plotina shook her head and pointed at the person in the photo:

"They come from different regions, have different occupations and social circles."

"The only thing they have in common is that they both attended the same performance at the Imperial Opera House on the first of last month."

"show?"

Lucius became interested and raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What show?"

“Pride and Prejudice, a very good play.”

Plotina explained softly, and then she seemed to have thought of something and invited:

"The play will be re-performed at the Imperial Opera House the day after tomorrow night. Why don't we go and see it together? It's a good opportunity to start investigating and see if we can find any clues or breakthroughs."

"no problem."

Lucius nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes:

"But we need to arrange for Ravens or Night Owls to conduct surveillance in advance, and the situation inside the theater also requires further investigation."

"Also, I think we should visit the social circles of the two victims. Perhaps we can find something."

"good idea!"

Plotina nodded in agreement:

"Then let's set off now. My carriage is waiting outside."

Lucius nodded and stood up.

Plotina also stood up, and then she naturally took a step forward and took his arm affectionately.

Lucius: ...

At this moment, a bold idea flashed through Lucius's mind - it was time to test whether what was done in the simulation would affect reality!

Let’s do it, brothers!

Before Plotina's questioning eyes could express her confusion, Lucius suddenly turned around, grabbed her shoulders, and kissed her without saying a word.

The kiss was so sudden and forceful that Plotina was obviously startled and her body stiffened instantly.

But to Lucius's surprise, she didn't push him away or show anger as he had expected.

On the contrary, after a brief moment of surprise, she actually relaxed her body, her soft lips slightly opened, and she responded to him enthusiastically, even gently wrapping her arms around his neck.

Sister, is this right?

A minute later, Lucius took the initiative to end this bold "experiment", stepped back and observed Plotina's reaction.

A faint blush appeared on Plotina's cheeks. She gently wiped her slightly moist lips, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of shyness.

"Lucius…what are you doing?"

There was no anger, no disgust, no intention of blaming anyone.

There was only confusion and shyness, which was completely beyond Lucius's expectations.

In reality, if he did this to Plotina, she would probably get angry immediately.

But Plotina in the simulation is so docile?

Oh my, I think the simulated Xiao Pu is better than the real Lao Pu.

"If you want to kiss me, then kiss me, steamed bun, are you not convinced?"

Lucius decided to be more disdainful and acted frivolously.

"No..."
