There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 274: Zhang Yaling's Heartache, Thai City Crisis
Taicheng, Chinese medicine clinic.

After more than a month, Lu Yue came to the Chinese medicine clinic again.

This time he was not alone, he also brought Zhang Yaling who was on a day off.

See if you can use some "scientific" methods to awaken the other person's memory.

When Lu Yue appeared at the door of the Chinese medicine clinic, it was already noon. He happened to see Dr. Zhang on the phone, vaguely revealing some words such as transferring people from other places and secret operations...

After waiting for Doctor Zhang to hang up the phone, Lu Yue stepped forward and pointed at the patient behind him. He briefly explained Zhang Yaling's "condition" on the phone.

Doctor Zhang nodded and pointed to a bowl of Chinese medicine on the table.

"For humans, amnesia is usually caused by severe brain damage. The same is true for ghosts. If the brain is damaged during life, it will cause memory loss after death. This is a special soup I brewed in advance. It is effective for most ghosts."

Behind him, Zhang Yaling walked forward slowly, sniffed the scent of the medicine, and looked suspicious.

Lu Yue repeatedly emphasized that this was a good thing, and only then did Zhang Yaling drink it.

Lu Yue: "How is it?"

Zhang Yaling: "It's a bit bitter, not as good as Coke, but drinkable. Anything else?"

Lu Yue: “…”

Sure enough, Zhang Yaling did not belong to the majority.

At this point, Lu Yue told the truth and said that Zhang Yaling was the super terrifying and cruel existence who came from the opposite side of the Bigan Ruins Ancestral Temple.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Zhang's expression did not change when he heard this, as if he had known this for a long time.

Lu Yue was stunned, but after thinking carefully, he realized that he did not deliberately conceal the existence of Zhang Yaling, and Zhang Yaling often came into contact with other things outside. In fact, Doctor Zhang and his men might have investigated after coming out of the Bigan ruins.

He underestimated the official investigation methods.

However, no measures have been taken so far, which also proves the official attitude.

Seeing that ordinary Chinese medicine could not cure her, Doctor Zhang carefully observed Zhang Yaling, and after a moment's silence, he said, "I'll try acupuncture."

So, Zhang Yaling became a "hedgehog".

After a while, Lu Yue asked Zhang Yaling tentatively.

Zhang Yaling, who was confused, suddenly realized: "I remember that I worked last night and my boss hasn't paid me yet."

Lu Yue: “…”

"Doctor Zhang, acupuncture doesn't work either, is there any other method?"

Doctor Zhang was silent for a moment, then took out the cupping utensils.

This scene stunned Lu Yue.

Can cupping be used to treat amnesia?
Doctor Zhang explained: "Some amnesia may be caused by curses or foreign objects invading the body. Cupping can adjust yin and yang, expel evil and restore good. I will try to see if I can suck out the root cause of the amnesia."

Lu Yue nodded, this sounded reasonable.

However, after several attempts, there was still no result.

Next, Doctor Zhang used moxibustion, massage, scraping, diet therapy and other methods.

Lu Yue: "Zhang Yaling, do you feel better?"

Zhang Yaling: "Much better."

Lu Yue: "Which method is the most effective?"

Zhang Yaling said seriously: "Diet therapy."

The corner of Lu Yue's mouth twitched. He turned to look at Doctor Zhang and shook his head helplessly.

It is obvious that the diet therapy Zhang Yaling talked about is purely for eating.

Even Doctor Zhang, who was used to seeing difficult and complicated cases, frowned at this scene. Finally, he quietly packed up all the tools and said, "There is nothing wrong with her body or brain. The amnesia is not caused by external factors, but a heart disease."

Lu Yue was surprised. How could Zhang Yaling have such a good appetite and still have a mental illness?
Doctor Zhang explained calmly, "In modern society, people are generally under great pressure, and most people have mental illnesses. For example, some people like to eat more when they are under greater pressure, and they can only relieve stress by eating. Her situation is similar, and she needs to suppress her sealed memories by eating a lot."

"This kind of heart disease can only be solved by herself."

Lu Yue then understood that eating was not only Zhang Yaling's hobby, but the deeper reason was that she used eating to suppress her past memories.

I think the memories that can be sealed by the other party are not good memories.

He seemed to be helping Zhang Yaling regain her memory.

In fact, it was revealing Zhang Yaling's perhaps painful scars from the past.

No one wants to have their scars exposed.

Now caught in a dilemma, Lu Yue thought about it and decided to inform Zhang Yaling of the situation. As a forever member of the family, the method has been told, and it is up to her to decide whether she is willing to uncover the bad memories of the past.

No matter what Zhang Yaling chooses, he will respect her choice.

The next thing was to make the fairy peach tree into an axe handle. There was no one in the Demon Bureau of Taicheng Town who was qualified to take on this job, so he wanted to use the relationship with Doctor Zhang to find someone from the headquarters to make the axe handle.

Lu Yue took out the rough piece of fairy peach tree that had been cut into a stick.

After finding out the source, Doctor Zhang showed a look of regret on his face.

He then made a few phone calls, but in the end he shook his head and said that the master at the headquarters who was qualified to take the job was very busy recently and the fastest waiting time would be half a month.

Half a month?
Lu Yue felt that it was a bit too slow.

Then Doctor Zhang suggested: "If you need it urgently, you can find Gongshu Yimai. This wood is very valuable. They may be able to make it for free."

The Gongshu lineage was famous for making tools, especially wooden ones.

The fairy peach tree in Lu Yue's hand is priceless. In fact, if the masters at the headquarters were not busy, they would also be interested in the fairy wood in his hand.

However, Lu Yue was a little worried about the unpleasant things that happened before. Although it had been so long, what if the other party only said it was over on the surface, but still held a grudge secretly? This is a sacred tree. Where can he find it if it is lost?

Seeing Lu Yue's worry, Doctor Zhang said, "Every family is bound to have some bad people. We can't judge the entire family just because of one or two bad people."

"Although the Gongshu family has a strange temper, they are also capable. Over the past few thousand years, they have generally been a bloodline family that has been on good terms with the headquarters."

Now that he had received assurance from Dr. Zhang, Lu Yue decided to look forward.

Next, Doctor Zhang contacted the Gongshu lineage. When the other party learned that they could undertake the project, they expressed their gratitude continuously and promised to complete it.

Just after finishing this matter, Doctor Zhang received another call.

Lu Yue did not bother her any more and led Zhang Yaling, who was stealing herbs from Zhang Shen's medicine cabinet and stuffing money into it, out of the clinic.

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Yue asked Zhang Yaling to go home on her own.

He went to the holy place for practice and practiced every minute.

Not long after, when we reached the road opposite the Chanyin Ancient Temple Scenic Area, we suddenly heard a noise coming from the front. It turned out that a truck loaded with steel coils braked suddenly to avoid pedestrians crossing the road, causing the steel coils to loosen and the front of the truck to be crushed.

What's even more terrifying is that the steel coil rolled down the gentle slope.

You should know that the weight of this kind of steel coil is generally between 3 and 30 tons.

If this hits someone, it will definitely become a pancake.

Just at this moment, a young man wearing a sweatshirt with a red flower logo on his chest stepped forward and tried to use his body to stop the steel coil from rolling further.

For a moment, the onlookers were terrified.

There were constant screams at the scene and someone shouted at the young man to get out of the way.

However, the imagined tragedy did not happen. The young man's body turned into steel at a speed visible to the naked eye. The next second, he rushed straight towards the steel coil. Along with the sound of metal collision, the young man's feet plowed a few meters deep mark on the ground, and finally succeeded in stopping the steel coil from rolling further.

The onlookers were stunned.

Then, a group of mysterious people wearing the same uniform as the young man suddenly appeared from nowhere and tore open the shapeless truck head with their bare hands as easily as tearing paper.

One of them immediately reached out to the dying driver. With a flashing green light, the rescuer staggered and his face turned pale as if he had lost a lot of blood. However, the truck driver who was half on the verge of death after being rescued by him miraculously came back to life.

The onlookers at the scene all cheered and applauded.

After the incident, a group of people shouted slogans.

"Reading the Spring and Autumn Annals in the Red Flower Pavilion, expelling the Tartars and avenging the country!"

"He is a man of integrity and chivalry, and he is concerned about his country and his people!"

Lu Yue also learned from some onlookers that during the time he was away, many such extraordinary people seemed to have emerged in Taicheng overnight. They were wearing the same uniform, each of them had unique skills, enjoyed helping others, and called themselves the Red Flower Society.

"Red Flower Club?"

Lu Yue kept muttering to himself.

You must know that the invasion of the ruins has ended long ago. Logically, there should not be a large-scale awakening of extraordinary people. But now there is such a group of special extraordinary people in Taicheng. There must be something fishy.

Moreover, Lu Yue vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen the word "Red Flower" on Security Bear's mobile phone before. It seems that this organization had been targeted by Security Bear, who was full of justice, a long time ago.

This was just a small episode and did not affect Lu Yue's practice.

In the following days, he continued to practice in seclusion.

Continuously transform the gains from the Shoushen ruins into combat power.

He practiced the "Ultimate Version of the Kidney Yang Dharma Body Sky-lifting Skill" to perfection.

It means that you can start the next step - nurturing the divine kidney.

However, just when Lu Yue was practicing with great excitement, he received a call from an unknown number. After answering the call, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. It was the two college fans that Gu Hecun met.

"Brother Lu Yue, there is something we need your help with."

"Our Captain Zhong is missing!"

The two people on the phone could be heard panting from time to time, obviously they were doing strenuous exercise such as running. Lu Yue quickly arranged a time and place to meet them.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the designated location.

When the two saw Lu Yue appear, they ran over as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, sweating profusely even in the cold winter. After Lu Yue comforted them, he asked about the specific circumstances of Captain Zhong's disappearance.

From the two people's stories, Lu Yue learned what had happened.

This matter is related to him.

After the Guhe Village incident, he asked Captain Zhong to investigate the organization behind the ghost painter, but at that time there was too little information and there had been no progress. Unexpectedly, Captain Zhong had been thinking about this matter all the time, and during the time Lu Yue was away, he used various connections and looked through the files, and finally got a clue.

But then, Captain Zhong disappeared.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The terrifying thing is that when the two college student members went to the Taicheng Town Demon Bureau to report the situation, they were told that there was no such person.

There is no such person as Captain Zhong in this world!
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, making the two of them shudder.

Could it be that the captain they have always respected is actually a ghost?

The two of them were in a daze and spent several days like zombies.

Fortunately, a few days later, they both received a letter from Captain Zhong.

This letter was entrusted to an unknown person to be delivered on time.

In the letter, Captain Zhong said that she was tracking down an organization and had a clue, but this clue made her feel unprecedented fear. However, she could not stop and had to continue investigating because it was related to the stability of Taicheng society.

If she disappeared one day, it would prove that she had an accident. Captain Zhong asked the two of them to immediately inform Lu Yue of the files and circumstances of her investigation.

Ask Lu Yue to pass the message to a senior who lives in Taicheng.

At the end of the letter, it was specifically stated that the Taicheng Town Demon Division channel must be avoided.

Unfortunately, before receiving the letter, the two had been inquiring about Captain Zhong through official channels. For some reason, all their permissions were revoked and they were placed under surveillance at home, not allowed to contact other people.

It wasn't until today that they finally got the chance to talk to Lu Yue.

After listening to the two people's stories, Lu Yue lowered his head and thought.

He had met Captain Zhong as early as the office building incident, and they had a close conversation in Guhe Village. If the other party did not exist, didn't it mean that what he had been seeing were ghosts?
He absolutely did not believe this.

There is no doubt that Captain Zhong is real.

This happening was likely related to what she was investigating next.

Strictly speaking, he had an unshirkable responsibility for Captain Zhong's disappearance. After all, he later learned from the Shoushen ruins that this organization was very terrifying.

Captain Zhong is just a captain of the local Demon Suppression Bureau.

"Brother Lu Yue, Captain Zhong is real, right?"

"Will Captain Zhong be in danger?"

The two looked at Lu Yue eagerly, they were eager to figure out these two points.

"Don't worry, you two." Lu Yue said calmly, "Captain Zhong definitely exists. As for the situation behind this, let me investigate it first."

"Didn't Captain Zhong leave a clue in the letter? Let me see."

The female college student nodded, then carefully took out half of a paper file from her underwear, while the male college student also took out half of the file from his crotch.

Lu Yue: “…”

The two blushed and said, "The people above have been investigating us. Captain Zhong didn't let us inform the Demon Suppression Division in his letter, so we split this thing into two and carry it with us. As long as one of us loses contact, the other will burn the files to ensure that they don't fall into the hands of the enemy."

As soon as the file was handed to him and before he had time to look at it, Lu Yue suddenly heard the rapid and shrill siren of an ambulance.

This is an ambulance specially used by the Demon Division of Taicheng Town.

Then, the car door opened and a familiar face got out - Captain Liu.

Recalling the previous office building incident, both of them happened to be examiners at the time. If anyone knew better whether Captain Zhong really existed, Captain Liu must know.

After Captain Liu got off the car, he saw Lu Yue at a glance, with a look of surprise on his face. He then stepped forward and greeted him enthusiastically, "When did you come back? I heard that the last fragment of the ruins collapsed, and it seems that something happened inside. Are you injured?"

Lu Yue half-jokingly replied, "It's OK. I just feel a little ashamed of the expectations of the people of Taicheng. I wasted the special car you arranged for me, Captain Liu, and failed to bring the ruins fragments back to Taicheng."

Captain Liu waved his hand and said, "As long as the person is fine, nothing else matters."

"By the way, Captain Liu, what are you doing..."

Lu Yue pointed at the members of the Demon Suppression Division who were filing off the car.

These people all had solemn expressions and acted in unison, quickly cordoning off the surroundings.

Captain Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter actually has nothing to do with you. The order I received was to closely monitor the actions of those two people."

Lu Yue frowned and asked, "Is it related to Captain Zhong?"

Captain Liu nodded.

"I heard that someone inside the Taicheng Town Demon Division claimed that Captain Zhong did not exist?"

Captain Liu: "This is the statement made to the outside world. Captain Zhong certainly exists, but for some reason, we have to declare that she does not exist and conduct a strict investigation of the people around her."

Lu Yue asked curiously: "What's the reason? Maybe I can help."

Captain Liu hesitated and said, "Captain Zhong is a spy for a certain organization."

Lu Yue was shocked and suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

After repeated questioning, Captain Liu confirmed that Lu Yue had not heard wrong.

It is precisely because of the serious nature of this matter that it has been concealed from the outside world.

Lu Yue still didn't believe it at this time and asked if there was any evidence.

So Captain Liu presented some evidence.

First, there is a video. In the surveillance footage, Captain Zhong broke into the Demonic Department Building in Taicheng Town, ignored the warnings of his colleagues around him, wantonly beat up his colleagues and stole some items.

In addition to the video, there are also other evidence such as screenshots.

"Could these be fake?" Lu Yue questioned.

Captain Liu shook his head. Even if the chat records and other information could be forged, there were many witnesses on the day of the incident, otherwise they would not easily draw a conclusion.

"This matter concerns the safety of the Demon Division of Taicheng Town. I didn't want to involve you, but they came to you at this time. Did they give you something?"

Lu Yue remained silent.

"Whatever this thing is, it must be related to that spy. Please give it to me. I will discuss countermeasures with others when I return. We cannot allow this long-lurking spy to endanger the safety of the citizens of Taicheng."

Lu Yue glanced at the trembling duo of college students beside him.

He shook his head and said, "I will inform Dr. Zhang about this."

Unexpectedly, Captain Liu was determined and stopped Lu Yue directly.

"I'm sorry, this is an internal matter of the Demon Division of Taicheng Town. Even Doctor Zhang has no right to interfere. I must get this thing today."

Lu Yue frowned and looked at Captain Liu again.

To be honest, his friendship with Captain Liu is much better than that with Captain Zhong.

Therefore, I am more inclined to believe what the other person says.

It’s just…Captain Liu with such an attitude and such a tone.

This was his first time seeing it.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

Captain Liu made it clear that even Dr. Zhang, who had retired from the headquarters, had no right to interfere, let alone Lu Yue, a non-staff consultant.

If you don't hand this thing over, you will be obstructing the investigation by the Demon Bureau of Taicheng Town.

If Captain Zhong is indeed found to be a spy, his actions would be considered an accomplice.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Lu Yue suddenly thought of something, so he looked at Captain Liu with a firm gaze and said, "Trust me, tell the higher-ups that this thing will be safe only if it stays with me..."

Captain Liu looked displeased.

Lu Yue came forward and whispered in Captain Liu's ear, "Long live the Queen."

Captain Liu suddenly looked up at Lu Yue, his eyes becoming increasingly complicated.

One second... two seconds... ten seconds...

Captain Liu immediately gathered the team and led others to leave the scene.

At this moment, Lu Yue's heart was filled with turmoil.

Captain Liu, it turns out that you are the hidden spy!
