Chapter 1043: Bai Yueshuang, Old Name Gu Yang

“I didn’t say she’s Yangyang. What I mean is that something’s not right with her,” Cao Cuo corrected, frowning.

“Anyone with a brain can see something’s off. Only Shen Qin, in her ignorance, would mistake someone with that skin for Yangyang,” Gu Jin said, noticing that Feng Jue hadn’t replied to his messages and seemed in a bad mood.

Gu Jin turned to Feng Jue. “Did you feel anything when you saw the face in the surveillance footage?”

Feng Jue admitted he had felt the same unease. He even suspected that his sister had used that body before.

Feng Jue sneered. “So what if there is? If my sister’s body now hosts another consciousness, it’s possible that this body might have had a different one before. Or maybe it’s the original consciousness of the body. After all, this body didn’t originally belong to my sister, right?”

Gu Jin and Cao Cuo nodded in agreement.

Cao Cuo’s well-defined fingers drummed lightly on the table as he observed thoughtfully. “This person appeared right after Team Blue Whale returned. It has to be connected to that mysterious organization from back then.”

At that moment, Gu Jin’s phone lit up with a message from Xiao Yize.

They could investigate a person’s household registration with just a photo, but Xiao Yize had access to faster and more formal channels.

Seeing the information Xiao Yize sent over, Gu Jin’s gaze sharpened. “I’ve found it.”

The girl in the photo was Bai Yueshuang, a 19-year-old and the eldest daughter of the Bai family, a well-to-do family in the capital. When she was younger, Bai Yueshuang was kidnapped due to her carelessness and ended up in Cloud Rising Orphanage in Liang City. Five years ago, the Bai family found her and sent her to an elite school overseas. Recently, she returned from a prestigious music school, where she had majored in piano.

The photo revealed that while she was at the orphanage, her name was Gu Yang.

The three people present paused at the last name, but given their suspicions, they were not entirely surprised. If there was no connection to Gu Yang, they would have been more shocked.

Feng Jue looked at the smiling girl in the photo, his expression cold. “The timing is highly coincidental, right after the light cone experiment five years ago.”

Gu Jin said, “We need to investigate the Bai family.”

At the capital’s psychiatric hospital, Gu Yang mentioned that the volunteer medical consultation would last all day, so she decided to rest in the office in the afternoon.

Having spent the entire morning hypnotizing patients, even her SSS-level mental strength was feeling the strain from the intense and prolonged sessions.

Although it was tiring, the intensive practice was proving very effective for improving her hypnosis skills.

The hospital, managed by the Ji family, had a special office set aside for Gu Yang since she often worked part-time there. The office was serene, with a desktop computer on the table and fresh, elegant bamboo beside it. Sunlight filtered through the clear glass windows, illuminating the room, which was equipped with various auxiliary tools on the shelves.

Gu Yang drew the curtains to block out the sunlight and rested her head on the table. Exhausted, she fell asleep almost immediately.

She woke up disoriented, with a heavy head. She tried to sit up but found she couldn’t move. Despite being fully conscious, her body remained unresponsive.

Struggling to open her eyes, she found herself in a dimly lit office. The wind rustled the curtains, and occasional beams of sunlight pierced the darkness, making everything appear slightly blurry. In the obscurity, she noticed a bright, mathematical symbol ∞ faintly glowing.
