Chapter 304 That’s it, let’s eat first

After swallowing the red fruit, Amber slowly closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became steady, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Wu Chang waited on the top floor for a while, and seeing that Amber showed no signs of waking up, he took her away first.

Of course, he did not forget to take Grace and Mark with him when he left.

When the monster on the rooftop revealed its faceless ghost form, the two of them fainted due to excessive fright, and now they are sleeping even soundly than Amber.

After stuffing the three into Mark's car, he drove them back to Grace's house first.

He parked the car in the driveway in front of Grace's house, leaving Mark behind the wheel and Grace in the back seat.

In this way, when Grace's parents look for her, they can immediately find out that it was Mark who took her away secretly.

Grace is good in every way except that she is too self-destructive. When no one is supervising her, there is nothing she dares not to do. This kind of personality will cause her to suffer sooner or later, so her parents must teach her a lesson.

As for the cross on her body, Wu Chang just looked at it and did not take it away.

This is not because he has a strong moral bottom line and would not take things that belong to someone else.

It is no exaggeration to say that a treasure of the level of the Taichu Lingshu is worth him using any means to get it, including but not limited to taking advantage of Grace's affection for him and exchanging a lollipop for the worthless silver pendant in her hand.

But the problem was that he couldn't use the cross after he got it.

Just like the Sun Seal, when he got Grace's Cross, no item description would appear in front of him.

He tried to let the Omniscient Crystal swallow it directly, but the Omniscient Crystal did not show any movement. It longed for the cross, but it was not the cross itself.

He tried to communicate with the Omniscient Crystal, only to find out that the cross in Grace's hand was just a door leading to the remaining Primordial Spiritual Pivot in the copy plane, and the prop itself did not possess the Primordial Spiritual Pivot.

When mentioning the Taichu Lingshu in the copy, the Omniscient Crystal became unusually active and told Wu Chang a lot.

It roughly means that in the Doomed Copy Plane, there are still a huge number of Primordial Spirits remaining, at least five times the number in the Sun Immortal Seal.

These creative energies are gathered somewhere, have not yet been utilized by humans, and are in an ownerless state. They will only be attracted to and connected with something by chance.

For example, the cross in Grace's hand.

The Omniscient Crystal has memorized the breath of the Primordial Spirit in the cross. As long as it is close enough to the Primordial Spirit, it will be able to find it.

When talking about the Taichu Lingshu that had not yet been used by anyone, Wu Chang could even imagine the drooling pervert's expression from the emotionless electronic voice of the omniscient crystal.

That kind of uncontrollable excitement, enough to break the absolute rationality of the omniscient crystal, is enough to prove the value of that group of Taichu Lingshu.

Even the Omniscient Crystal was surprised by the amount of Primordial Spirits contained in the Doom-ridden copy plane.

According to it, if this world is allowed to grow freely, it will be able to be upgraded to the fourth level of the abyss.

After sending Grace and Mark back, Wu Chang took Amber back to No. 26 Garden Street.

After placing Amber on the bed in the master bedroom, Wu Chang and Irene stayed by her side and waited until midnight. Only then did Amber suddenly sit up with a scream.

Erin wiped the sweat off Amber's forehead with a towel and asked, "Having a nightmare again?"

Amber nodded, then shook her head.

"It's a nightmare, but it's different from the previous nightmares."

Wu Chang asked from the side: "Is it related to the red fruit you ate last?"

When Amber heard Wu Chang mention the red fruit in the old teaching building, her expression became complicated. It was an expression of relief mixed with fear, and a self-abandoning expression as if she wanted to die early and be reborn soon.

"That red fruit contains my past."

Wu Chang had already guessed Amber's answer.

In Frank's resentment, he could see that the faceless ghost had taken many things out of Amber's body, including Amber's emotions and some things that he could not see.

Combined with what the faceless ghost said on the rooftop later, it is not difficult to guess that those extra things contain Amber's memories.

He knew that if he pretended nothing had happened, took out the dinner that was being kept warm, and said let's eat first, maybe Amber would play dumb and get away with it.

He also knew that digging into this matter in detail might cause irreversible consequences for Amber.

But he still asked, "Don't you want to think about those memories?"

He believed in Amber. He believed that when Amber threw the first uppercut at the faceless ghost, she had made up her mind to face her inner demons.

The child has already made up his mind, and as a parent, of course he has to choose to believe it.

Amber took a deep breath and sorted out her confused thoughts. After thinking for fifteen minutes, she described the entanglement between her and the faceless ghost in a frank and lenient manner.

The origin of the incident started with her second adoptive parents' family.

At that time, she had a younger brother, who, like her, was an orphan adopted by foster parents.

The adoptive parents were very kind to them. Under their care, the four unrelated people gradually became a real family.

When life is getting better and better, unexpected things happen.

Her younger brother, who likes thrillers and exciting things, wants to explore the legendary old teaching building.

As an older sister, she did not realize the risks and followed her brother into the old teaching building, even going all the way to the rooftop.

She forgot that the old teaching building was very dangerous and students often fell and got injured in the building, so she neglected to take care of her brother.

When I came to my senses, I saw my brother slipped and fell from the roof.

At this point, Amber covered her face and sobbed. Seeing this, Irene hurriedly hugged her in her arms and comforted her for a while, helping the girl to break free from the painful memory.

Amber sniffed and said, "I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me. I couldn't face the mistakes I made. I wanted to jump and put an end to it all."

"But at this moment, something split out of my body and said it could help me solve this problem."

"I just need to give it all the memories of my brother, and it will make it so that my brother's fall from the building never happened."

"I agreed, but the development of the matter was completely different from what I expected."

Amber agreed to the monster's request, but her brother did not come back to life. Instead, he completely disappeared from this world, as if he had never appeared.

Everyone had forgotten about her brother, except her adoptive parents.

His adoptive parents were frantically searching for their missing son, but they couldn't even find any evidence of his existence.

During the search, everyone thought they were crazy. Amid the questioning of outsiders and inner anxiety, the adoptive mother fell seriously ill and died in less than half a year.

On the day of his adoptive mother's funeral, his adoptive father committed suicide by swallowing a bullet.

Amber witnessed the entire family's dramatic changes, but she had forgotten everything and had no idea what had happened.

It seemed as if overnight, the parents went crazy and died because of the non-existent family members.

The matter ended there until Amber and her friends entered the old teaching building for the second time.

The faceless ghost returned the memory to her, and then killed her friend in front of her when she was in shock because of the memory.

After doing all this, the faceless ghost came to Amber and gave her another choice.

Leave with two memories, or give both memories to the faceless ghost and pretend nothing happened.

Amber couldn't accept that her adoptive parents and brother died because of her, nor could she accept that her friends died because of the monster she created.

So she chose to escape again.

The same story, repeated over and over again.

She didn’t know if it was a trick of fate, but every time she felt that everything was getting better, someone would suggest that they go and see the old teaching building.

But each time she failed to stop it, which led to tragedy. After the tragedy, she was unable to face the increasingly unbearable past and could only escape again and again.

until today.

Amber finished speaking in one breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She looked at Wu Chang and said:
"This is the connection between me and the monster in the old teaching building. Many people died because of me, but I managed to escape time and time again and survived in a despicable way until now."

"Because of my escape, they were completely devoured by the monster. Not only did no one remember them, but their loved ones also suffered because of it."

"Just as that monster said, in order to live with a clear conscience, I abandoned many things and harmed many people. I am the one who least deserves to survive, and the monster who least deserves to be saved."

Looking at Amber who kept belittling her, Irene didn't know how to comfort her. She could only shine the holy light on Amber to stabilize her spirit, while looking at Wu Chang for help.

Now that the root of the inner demon had been figured out, it was Wu Chang's turn to take action. Coincidentally, he was actually good at this question.

"Amber, the brother you're talking about, is his name Frank?"

Hearing Wu Chang's question, Amber suddenly raised her head and looked at Wu Chang in disbelief.

After she gave up the memories related to her brother, no one in this world should know this name.

"Sean, how did you know that?"

Wu Chang thought for a moment and quickly constructed a true lie.

"Didn't you ask me before how I could find you? I said I felt that you needed me, but that's not entirely true. I was also guided by a certain soul."

"He called himself Frank, and showed me what happened to him before he died. When he entered the second floor of the old teaching building, his body was already occupied by the vine monster. The evidence is that after his body was controlled, he no longer searched for the ghost of the old teaching building in each class like Grace and the others did, but went straight to the top floor."

This sentence awakened Amber's memory. She recalled Frank's behavior on the day of the accident. She was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

Wu Chang continued, "The monster controlled his body and deliberately pretended to fall from a building, making you think it was your fault, in order to control you."

"As for forgetting Frank's choice, at least in the memory he showed me, when he fell from the top floor, the vine monster had already done something to you. You had no choice from the beginning."

"He wants me to help you, to free you from the monster's entanglement."

The last sentence was not a lie from Wu Chang, it was indeed Frank’s last words of resentment.

The impact of this information on Amber was no less than the impact when she regained all her memories.

She murmured, "So the monster on the rooftop wasn't separated from my escaping heart?"

Wu Chang said: "Of course not."

"And I don't think your self-perceived escape is an unforgivable mistake. Not to mention that you are already under the control of the monster, even if you are not under control, it is normal to escape."

"Not everyone is a hero. Even adults will evade and compromise when faced with problems. It wasn't you who lured people into the old teaching building, and it wasn't you who harmed them. Why do you have to take all the blame on yourself?"

Wu Chang sighed, stroked Amber's head, and said:

"Those who died because of the faceless ghost, I believe it or not... I'm sorry, I shouldn't lie. I don't care how those people feel. From my own point of view, I don't think you have made an unforgivable mistake."

“If someone is unhappy with my judgment, I can talk to them in person.”

Amber received too much information and was a little confused for a moment.

"Sorry, my mind is confused and I need some time."

She wanted to return to the attic alone, but as soon as she stood up, Wu Chang pushed her back onto the bed.

"You live here, where else are you going?"

Amber met Wu Chang and Irene's gaze and asked in an uneasy tone:

"After what I've said, Sean, Erin, are you still willing to stay with me?"

Wu Chang sighed and said, "In the future, learn more from Grace and use your brain less. Sometimes it is beneficial to your physical and mental health."

"The meal has been prepared a long time ago. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first. After you are full, you can think about what happened before."

Amber wanted to avoid Wu Chang and Irene before she thought things through, but the hunger in her body and the faint fragrance coming from outside made it difficult for her to hold on.

At this moment, she personally experienced what Wu Chang said: as long as one is a human being, they will compromise and escape when faced with problems.

Man is iron and rice is steel, this is the truth.

While eating, Wu Chang casually asked, "Amber, do you remember how old you were when the accident happened?"

Amber did not shy away from this and answered, "Many of my fused memories are not clear enough. I can only remember that I was in the second grade."

"You're only in the second grade, so you can't be blamed." Wu Chang said.

second grade.

But the Amber he saw in Frank's resentment was clearly in the sixth grade.

Even without using his abilities, he could easily tell that Amber was not lying.

Frank's resentment couldn't lie.

It seems that there are still many mysteries about Amber waiting for him to discover.

Under the persuasion of Wu Chang and Irene, Amber took two days to reconcile with her past self, at least a preliminary reconciliation.

The reason why Wu Chang was able to determine Amber's mentality was because of the information that popped up in front of him.

"You successfully protected Amber and uncovered the truth of what happened. You helped her get rid of her guilt as a survivor and made her face the cowardly self who once avoided danger."

"You have gained some recognition from Amber. Amber's current recognition value for you is 60 points."

"You gain an additional 10% attribute liberation."

Wu Chang's current property panel is:

Life: 48
Strength: Body: 48/True Self: 128
Agility: 33
Stamina: 36
Energy: Body: 154/True Self: 91
Inspiration: 66
Will: 91
Another 10% of the attributes were liberated, allowing Wu Chang's attributes to reach 40% of the original state.

Especially the two main attributes of strength and energy. Due to the obstruction of the wasteland plane barrier, the attributes now achieved even exceed 40% of the unlimited state.

Who would have thought that in the Doomed dungeon where everyone's attributes were compressed to 10%, someone's single attribute could reach 154 points.

While marveling at his own attributes, Wu Chang looked at Amber's recognition of him and realized once again that Amber had two more troubles like the faceless ghost.

I don’t know what Amber did to get herself into so much trouble.

Can't you learn from Grace and take things easy?
Grace and Mark were discovered that night and were given a good scolding by their parents.

Looking back, Grace asked Amber what happened in the old teaching building later. Amber claimed that she used Grace's cross to repel the monster and asked Wu Chang to rescue several people. Grace did not doubt it and focused all her attention on whether Wu Chang carried her like a princess when he rescued her.

Learn from others. Once things are over, let them be the past. Cherish what you have now.

While Wu Chang was sighing, Amber and Irene had already walked out of the master bedroom pushing their suitcases.

Amber said, "Sean, Grace and the others are here, we have to leave."

Ever since the incident at the old teaching building, Amber and Grace had applied for three days of leave, and today was the last day.

Now is the time of the year when the sun shines best in Sigfu City, which is perfect for sunbathing. Coincidentally, the area next to the sea is in the north of Sigfu City, far away from the south where the fire is burning, making it even more suitable for people to go to the beach for fun.

Grace, a sporty girl, took advantage of her last day off to invite Amber to a beach party.

I heard that Grace's mother, Mark's mother, several other students' mothers, and several teachers on vacation from Knox Elementary School were also on the trip.

Originally, Wu Chang wanted to go along, but Amber said that this was a ladies-only party and he was strictly forbidden to attend, so he asked Irene to accompany Amber.

When he was seeing Irene and Amber off, he saw a car parked on the side of the road. Grace, who was sitting in the passenger seat, lowered the window, greeted Irene and Amber, and invited Wu Chang to join them.

Before Wu Chang could respond, Grace's mother, who was driving, hit her stupid daughter on the head.

Watching the four people leave, Wu Chang shook his head. Having a daughter like Grace was actually quite worrying.

It was just as well that he couldn't attend the beach party because he had work to do.

He stretched and turned on the TV, which was broadcasting the latest developments of the Iside fire.

As the fire escalated over the past two days, the local tyrants in Sigoff City could no longer withstand the pressure and began to agree to his conditions.

At the press conference last night, the great philanthropist Mr. Heping was appointed by the mayor as the person in charge of the fire-fighting operation.

It sounds unreasonable for philanthropists to be responsible for putting out fires, but it is actually very reasonable.

Because Wu Chang promised that he would be responsible for all the expenses of this fire-fighting operation.

In Sigoff City, money is everything.

It just so happened that today he gained Amber's recognition and liberated some of his attributes.

Everything is ready. From philanthropist Mr. Peace to congressman Mr. Peace, all that is left is for him to pray for rain to put out the wildfires.
