Chapter 464: Forgotten Retrospection
"Lord Xia Shou, I don't remember anything." Alice said.

Xia Shou stood there in a daze.

Even Alice had forgotten.

So what is the situation now?

Xia Shou asked himself, why would he do such a thing as deleting all his memories?
There must be some emergency that had to be done, which forced him to delete the information about whether the backtracking had been used.

And even Alice forgot. That should be because I made Alice forget, otherwise it would be impossible for Alice to remember nothing.

Of course, it is also possible that Vogt himself has special forgetting rules in addition to the one-hour storage, but considering this unfalsifiable possibility, the reasoning will be endless.

Now there’s only one decision to make, and that’s whether to backtrack!
He remembered the last thing Shangguan Yan said to him, which was to let him forget it, and then he was burned to ashes.

Thinking about it this way, now he and Alice remember nothing, it should be Shangguan Yan's instruction.

"So, not only did I forget everything, but I also made Alice forget everything. Why is that?"

Xia Shou muttered to himself.

He guessed that all this must have happened in a very tight time frame, otherwise it would have been possible to leave some clues and then forget about it.

According to Xia Shou's understanding of himself, if he couldn't trace back, he should have left some clues, right?

should?

Xia Shou frowned and hesitated.

He doesn't think he is a very thorough person.

He stood on the edge of the roof and looked down. The chance of survival if he jumped from here was zero.

As long as he jumped down, he would know the result. Maybe he could start over again after going back, but if he could not start over, he would be caught and sent to the heaven's choir and made into a musical instrument, singing on that red wall for hundreds or thousands of years.

The risk is huge.

Forget it.

Xia Shou didn't have much good feelings towards Shangguan Yan in his heart. She was indeed an excellent boss. There were no problems with her work decisions, and she would also help him deal with some difficult matters. Without her, his true strength would be exposed.

But when it comes to gratitude, Xia Shou is not grateful because he has been risking his life.

Shangguan Yan did not provide him with much help. It would be more accurate to say that they had a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship rather than Shangguan Yan helping him, and that this woman had always wanted to control him.

The Death Note also said that she was a troublesome woman.

But, without her, he probably wouldn't be able to continue working in the Control Bureau.

If no one helps to hide his abilities, he will become the next research subject of the Control Bureau and may even be classified as an anomaly.

While thinking, Xia Shou took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Su Weiyu.

Su Weiyu is also a deep diver and can see the scale.

However, [Self-Destruction] will only affect the present world and cannot affect the Root Sea, so the deep diver can determine whether backtracking will occur by seeing whether there are unreasonable jumps in the ruler numbers.

But even if Su Weiyu answered that she didn't see it, it doesn't mean that the backtracking didn't happen. After all, no one would watch the scale reading 24 hours a day.

Xia Shou thought about it, and a text description appeared in front of him. [Mirror Magician's Information Scissors] was in a cooldown state, with more than an hour of cooldown time, and the duration of this skill was ten minutes.

"Xia Shou, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Hello?" The phone on Su Weiyu's end was connected.

"Wei Yu, um, are there any strange changes in the depth of the Root Sea over there? I want to know if I have traced back." Xia Shou said.

"No." Su Weiyu said, "Have you forgotten whether you have traced back?!"

Xia Shou sighed: "How long have we been in the city? How have I been seeking my own death these days?"

"Wait." There was a sound of flipping through papers on the other end, and then Su Weiyu replied very quickly: "Looking at the records, it's about once a day. We've been here for almost ten days."

"I understand." Xia Shou felt more confident. "I'll send you a location. Please come over. I might die once."

If you cannot go back, you will not die immediately after falling to your death, but will enter the blood demon mode and survive for a while. If you are lucky, you may be able to turn back, but if you are unlucky, you will always be that kind of monster.

Xia Shou raised his foot, stepped on the wall of the rooftop, and stood up.

Looking at the street below, he was still hesitant. He was completely unsure of the answer.

Is it worth taking the risk for Shangguan Yan?
Xia Shou hesitated for a moment, then jumped back to the ground, took out the Death Recorder from the shadows, opened it and asked:

"Hey, Shangguan Yan is dead, and I have forgotten everything now. I don't know if there is a way to rewind in the [Self-Destruction] state. Do you have any suggestions?"

[Shangguan Yan is dead?! ]

Words quickly appeared on the note.

"Yes."

[Then you! Why don’t you just die now! ]

"what?"

Xia Shou was stunned by what he said.

[She was killed by that demon, right? ]

"How did you know?!" Xia Shou opened his eyes wide with a look of surprise.

[Then she died because of you! Go to hell, you can definitely go back in time. Shangguan Yan had a contract with the devil. If someone regards her actions as unrequited kindness and help, she will be killed.]

The contract will be triggered and the devil will kill her.

You must have guessed something, so you killed her. Now forget everything I said, and go back to the past immediately! You can definitely go back to the past! Go! 】

"Don't worry, we can go back an hour. The minister just died a while ago, so there's still time."

The situation suddenly reversed, and it was Xia Shou who began to persuade Note to calm down.

"I understand. You actually knew about her contract a long time ago, so at the beginning, you told me that she was a troublesome woman, right?

No wonder the minister behaved inappropriately, it turned out to be because of the contract!"

Xia Shou nodded repeatedly, as if he understood something.

Those unreasonable details in memory now have a reasonable explanation!

[But you must forget all these things, because once you know the taboos of the contract, then the hidden meaning of her behavior will be seen through by you, and she will die immediately.]

"But why did she sign such a harsh contract?" Xia Shou showed a puzzled expression.

[Are you a fool? This question is meaningless. Even if I explain everything clearly, you will forget it. In the end, what good will it do except wasting time? ]

The attitude of taking rote notes is more aggressive than ever before.

This made Xia Shou even more curious about the relationship between Note and Shangguan Yan before his death.

However, as it says, even if you know it, you still have to forget it.

Asking the truth now will only waste time and push the starting point of the retrospection back, which will not help the current situation at all.

Thinking of this, Xia Shou felt a little regretful, sighed helplessly, and then stepped onto the rooftop wall.

Based on this new clue and re-reasoning, it turns out that he indeed did not backtrack.

At the scene on the rooftop, it was obvious that a battle had just taken place. And based on Su Weiyu's confession and his own personality, after he entered Vogt, he usually used [Self-Destruction] before the action began.

If he had retraced his events while retaining his memory, Shangguan Yan would have been killed by the goat-headed demon before the battle began due to the backlash of the contract.

In other words, the moment he finished his recollection, Shangguan Yan died immediately, and it was impossible for him to fight the enemy here.

The scene on the rooftop in front of us proved that this was an emergency, and the first time it happened.

"Alice, forget everything for now. Just remember my order to you to forget everything."

"Yes, Master Xia Shou."

Xia Shou looked at the cars and pedestrians coming and going below, opened his arms, and leaped forward with all his might.

He dived toward the ground like a flying squirrel, erasing his memory as he fell, leaving only the scene that Shangguan Yan asked him to "forget".
