Chapter 112 The Memory of the Demon
When Yun Qing and Lin Qiqi arrived at their destination, they saw Mo Yun had been standing there waiting for a long time.
As soon as Lin Qiqi got out of the car, she keenly noticed that Mo Yun was trying hard to control his body trembling.
Obviously, the information obtained from the demon was of great importance, and even the usually calm Mo Yun found it difficult to remain calm.
After seeing Yun Qing and Lin Qiqi, Mo Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down as quickly as possible. However, when he spoke, his voice still trembled slightly: "You are finally here."
Lin Qiqi nodded slightly, then held Yun Qing's hand tightly, followed Mo Yun into the gate, and went straight through the front yard to the back.
At this time, Meng Yu was quietly waiting at the door. Her originally bright eyes were now very red and swollen, as if she had just experienced a burst of tears.
Seeing this, Mo Yun became increasingly anxious. He wanted to create a barrier to ensure the safety of the conversation. However, due to his excessive nervousness, he tried twice in succession but failed to cast the spell.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qiqi gently stretched out her hand to stop Mo Yun from trying again. Then she exchanged a shielding stone that was shining with mysterious light from the ice cream cone, and with a wave of her hand, she covered the entire courtyard tightly.
After everything was ready, Lin Qiqi slowly sat down, looking calmly and gently at the solemn-looking Mo Yun and Meng Yu in front of her, and said softly, "Okay, now tell me, what could have caused the two of you to panic and lose your composure so completely?"
Mo Yun's eyes instantly turned red, like two gemstones burning with anger. He reached out his hand tremblingly and pulled out a faintly glowing photo stone from his bosom.
"Not long after we brought the demon back, her mental state completely collapsed. No matter how we questioned her, we couldn't get any valuable clues from her. In desperation, we had to use the Qimeng tribe's peeping technique, hoping to dig out some key information from it." Mo Yun explained in a low voice, his tone revealing a deep sense of frustration.
At this time, Meng Yu, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke. "It's really strange. At first, Brother Yun and I didn't have high hopes for this spell. However, just as we were casting the spell, a strong wind suddenly blew up. This sudden gust of wind swept up a large amount of Mengxuan flower pollen and blew it into the room. When the demon came into contact with the pollen, it seemed to be greatly stimulated and began to struggle desperately. It was at this time that we were surprised to discover that this demon was different from others - she also possessed a hidden sea of consciousness! And those memories that were deliberately erased were hidden in this unknown corner."
Mo Yun took a deep breath and slowly activated the image stone in his hand. In an instant, a dim yet mysterious light shot out from the image stone, gradually converging into a vague image in the air.
This video is obviously presented from a third-person perspective, as if a bystander is silently recording everything that happens.
"Is this the helper you're looking for?" The person who spoke was a masked woman in a black leotard. She had a graceful figure, and her gender could be determined from her figure and voice alone. She was seen with her arms folded across her chest, staring sharply ahead.
"Hmm!" The response came from the black-robed man standing opposite the woman. He was tall and also wore a mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He glanced coldly at those watching them.
"This species... it's really hard to describe." The woman's voice was filled with undisguised disdain, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with the so-called helper before her.
"Although they are not perfect, they have great ambitions, strong motivations, and the special abilities we need. They are indeed excellent tools." The man explained with a chuckle, revealing a hint of confidence and pride in his words.
He then added, "Besides, we already have collaborators within the Qimeng Clan. This way, the implementation of the entire plan will be much smoother."
Hearing this, the woman frowned slightly, still seeming to have doubts, and asked, "But are you sure that Yun won't see through our plan?"
Upon hearing this, the man sneered with disdain and replied, "Him? Humph, right now his mind and eyes are full of that woman, how can he have the energy to care about anything else. Little did he know that woman is our first test subject. I spent a lot of effort and finally succeeded in attracting his attention to the Qimeng Clan. This time, we can take advantage of the situation and make him and the Qimeng Clan fall into the abyss of no return." After saying this, a fierce look flashed in the man's eyes.
The woman stared at the man in front of her with icy eyes, like frost, and said coldly: "You'd better keep your promise and do what you said! Otherwise... Humph!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she gracefully and swiftly took out an exquisite suitcase from her side. She gently pressed a button and the suitcase slowly opened.
Inside the suitcase were neatly arranged rows of transparent test tubes, each filled with a mysterious liquid. The woman carefully placed the suitcase on the table and gently moved the test tubes with her slender fingers, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
"Give these reagents to the Mei Yao clan, and have them used on time one by one according to the people on the list. I want to see how long it will take for those guys who have been taking Meng Xuan Fruit for a long time to be completely defeated." The woman's voice was so calm that it was chilling.
The man frowned slightly upon hearing this. He reached out and picked up a test tube, examining it carefully against the light. After a moment, he asked with some concern, "Is there really no antidote for this thing? What if that Yun guy finds a way to break it? Wouldn't all our experiments be wasted?"
The corners of the woman's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. "Don't worry, there's no antidote for this reagent. Unless a mutated Mengxuan fruit truly exists in the world, but that kind of treasure only appears once in a century! Forget about the Qimeng Clan and the Air Traffic Control Bureau. Even if they were given another hundred years, they probably wouldn't be able to wait. Furthermore, we've already drugged all the Mengxuan bamboos. There won't be any mutated Mengxuan fruit for at least three hundred years. And even if a mutated Mengxuan fruit does reappear one day, they won't have a chance."
After that, the woman took out a small and exquisite instrument, the size of a medium-sized test tube, from the compartment of the suitcase.
She skillfully fiddled with the instrument in her hand, pointing the indicator light on top at the people present: "Forget what you shouldn't remember."
After doing all this, the woman nodded with satisfaction, closed the suitcase again and locked it.
The scene ended there. Silence fell, so deep you could hear a pin drop.
Mo Yun pursed his lips tightly, as if suppressing all his emotions. His face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and every word he spoke seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth with difficulty. "I really... I never expected this! Our clan had already been infiltrated by the enemy so long ago. The demise of the Qimeng Clan was all a carefully planned conspiracy. There's a traitor in our clan!"
Lin Qiqi had no time to sympathize with the misfortune suffered by the Qimeng tribe. The amount of information contained in the previous scene was so shocking that she was completely shocked and unable to extricate herself.
Although the face of the mysterious woman was deliberately obscured and difficult to see clearly, judging from her clothing style, behavior, and especially the earring on her earlobe, which was a little blurry but still vaguely recognizable, it was clear that this person must be from the special forces of Country M.
The man standing next to her is most likely a spy who has been lurking in the Air Traffic Control Bureau for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiqi couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine.
Suddenly, a terrible thought came to her mind, and she quickly called out to Ice Cream Cone: "Tongzi, tell me quickly, have I been poisoned before?"
However, the answer given by the ice cream cone disappointed her greatly. He replied in confusion, "Master, I'm sorry, but my system doesn't have any record of you being poisoned."
Lin Qiqi frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Are there any unusual medical records in here?"
Ice Cream immediately began to diligently search through the information. After a long moment, it finally said, "Hmm... hypnosis should count! According to this record, the owner has received hypnosis treatment multiple times. Oh, and there's also information on several instances of first aid, but unfortunately, the specific details seem to have been intentionally hidden."
Experiments, hypnosis, first aid, and the mutated Mengxuan Fruit... Lin Qiqi silently pieced these seemingly unrelated pieces of information together, and gradually a bold hypothesis emerged in her mind - the mysterious reagent was most likely a terrifying toxin that could affect the human mind! Moreover, she had a vague feeling that she might be the target of the poison!
At this moment, Mo Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke again: "And that man, I don't know if you've noticed, but he gives me the feeling that he's deliberately imitating the man who saved us."
"Imitation?" Lin Qiqi asked in surprise, "Why do you think so?"
Mo Yun pondered for a moment before slowly explaining, "Although their clothing and hairstyles are quite similar, if you look closely, you'll notice that each of them has some unique little gestures. This man, even though he's altered his voice, his tone of voice and his subtle movements all exude a sense of deliberate effort, completely unlike his true self. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that he's been trying his best to imitate someone else the entire time."
Lin Qiqi's mind suddenly flashed back to the conversation she had with Mo Yun when she first arrived at the Imperial Tutor's Mansion.
Lin Qiqi asked thoughtfully, "I vaguely remember you mentioned the appearance of that benefactor. He seemed to be carrying a black sword, right?"
Mo Yun nodded and sighed, "That sword is an extraordinary thing. Once you see it, you will never forget it."
Hearing this, Lin Qiqi smiled slightly, and then she raised her jade hand and slowly took out the mysterious and eye-catching sword - Xiyue from the space.
As the Xiyue Sword was drawn out, the sword body flashed with a cold light, as if it could cut through the void.
Lin Qiqi held the hilt of the sword, passed it to Mo Yun, and asked softly, "But is this sword?"
Seeing this, Mo Yun's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "That's right! It's this... How could this be?"
Seeing Mo Yun's loss of composure, Lin Qiqi didn't take it too seriously. She handed the Xiyue Sword to Yun Qing, who had been silent beside her, and introduced it slowly, "This sword is called Xiyue, and it's Yun Qing's personal weapon."
Mo Yun was already standing there in a daze, staring straight at Yun Qing.
For some reason, from the moment he first met Yun Qing, he had a sense of déjà vu, but he could never be sure where this feeling came from.
However, at this moment, when he saw Yun Qing holding the Xiyue Sword and standing tall in front of him, the vague memory that had been hidden deep in his heart for a long time suddenly became clear, and the figure that he could not forget finally had a concrete appearance.
Unfortunately, when Yun Qing looked at Mo Yun, his eyes were full of doubt and confusion, and he had no memory of the past at all.
Facing Mo Yun's fiery and expectant gaze, Yun Qing seemed a little at a loss.
"He has no memories of his past," Lin Qiqi explained softly, holding Yun Qing's hand tightly and looking firmly at Mo Yun, as if trying to convey a sense of reassurance and strength. She could feel the doubts surging in Mo Yun's heart, but she tried to remain calm and composed.
Lin Qiqi sighed slightly and continued, "To be honest, I've lost a lot of important memories myself. So far, we haven't been able to find the specific cause of this. However, I believe that as long as we continue to explore and pursue clues, we will one day uncover the mystery behind this."
Having said this, she paused, her eyes becoming increasingly penetrating. "I believe you have already noticed that there are many strange things in this world, right?"
Mo Yun was still in shock. He stared at Lin Qiqi blankly and nodded mechanically. His thoughts were a tangled mess, impossible to sort out.
He recalled the last time he saw his benefactor. The benefactor had told him that he had carefully set traps in every world, and these traps would make his fiancée gradually forget everything about him.
Could this Lin Qiqi be the fiancée his benefactor had mentioned? Should he tell her the truth about their conversation? For a moment, Mo Yun was in a state of extreme turmoil.
Lin Qiqi seemed to immediately see through Mo Yun's inner struggles and contradictions. She smiled faintly and soothed him calmly, "Don't worry too much, Mo Yun. Whatever Yun Qing told you, he must have had his own considerations and intentions. If he explicitly told you not to tell anyone, then there's no need to feel distressed or entangled. Besides, even if I don't know the past, I still firmly believe that with my own abilities and hard work, I can uncover the truth."
After hearing Lin Qiqi's words, Mo Yun's heart finally settled down a little. He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, indicating that he agreed with Lin Qiqi's opinion.
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he quickly asked, "If that's the case, then what should we do next?"
