Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 174 Found you
"Four of you, don't move."

Li Daosheng swung his sword, and the sword energy drew a sword mark on the ground.

He looked at Huaque, who had recovered slightly, and asked, "Can your ability to absorb memories be used on humans?"

Huaque nodded: "Of course it's possible, but they have to cooperate, otherwise..."

Huaque didn't finish his words because someone had already objected.

"You want us to prove ourselves? And then let her use our memories to judge whether we're lying?" Chen Qing's eyes widened. "Impossible! This woman is not objective. She has always had ill intentions towards me!"

"I finally see what it means to put the blame on someone else," Flower Bird sneered. "But you've reminded me that if I were given the task of determining who's lying, even if you weren't a bug, I'd still frame you. Haha~"

After she said that, it was indeed not appropriate for her to make the judgment anymore.

Li Daosheng had no choice but to say to the four people from the Fifth Season, "To prevent the royal family's pests from cheating, each of you will write down your entire life from the moment you appeared in this world until now, and give it to the three of us to verify."

"Your memories have been affected, but ours haven't. You can write down some things that only you know and verify each other's knowledge. The Royal Worm's ability only affects your perception and cannot truly distort reality."

Li Daosheng's proposal finally got the consent of the four people.

After getting paper and pen from the consultation office and distributing them to the four people, Li Daosheng and the other two watched them walk in the east, south, west and north directions respectively, and wrote down the entire process of this experience.

"Hey, you're not really going to judge based on this, are you?" Huaque asked in a low voice. "If the Royal Worm truly possesses the ability to distort perception, then it could use the same trick on us. There's no way to tell if this is true or not."

"I know." Li Daosheng said in a low voice.

"Then you are..." Huaque's eyes suddenly lit up, "You don't want to see what they wrote at all, you just want to see how they wrote it, right?"

Li Daosheng smiled and nodded at her.

"This royal pest is a newborn. Judging by the fact that it still needs to absorb human memories to learn, although it can distort its cognition, its own understanding of the world is still very immature."

"So immature... maybe they don't even know some common sense, like writing habits and pen-holding posture."

This is the main place he wants to see.

"Besides," Li Daosheng looked at the two of them, "even if it doesn't reveal any flaws at all, we can still get more information about the Fifth Season through their notes."

"Yo~" Hua Que seemed to have gotten to know Li Daosheng all over again, "You seem~ quite bad."

Li Daosheng ignored her and looked at Ren Ou.

"What do you think?"

Ren Ou's face remained expressionless, but his reply was powerful: "The memory meme has been contaminated. The Royal Worm's ability will distort cognition, forming a new memory loop in their minds. But in reality, what doesn't exist doesn't exist, and what didn't happen didn't happen. Memories can be distorted, but reality can't. Even if the Royal Worm's ability can reasonably fill in the logical gaps with this extra person, there will definitely be many blank spaces."

Li Daosheng nodded frequently. If he had known that Ren Ou was so capable, he wouldn't have to think so hard.

"Go on." Li Daosheng gestured.

"It's a good idea to use each person's written content to check whether the details in their memories are consistent."

“At the same time, you can also ask them what each other is doing from their own perspective.”

"Comparing and verifying from multiple perspectives can also quickly identify anomalies."

"return……"

Ren Ou hadn't finished speaking yet because they had already written it.

Frankly speaking, when Li Daosheng saw the "worm-shaped" Chu Ge and Sun Qianyun walking towards him with pen and paper, he was still full of vigilance.

Wu Keyong and Chen Qing also finished writing it.

All the paper and pens were placed in front of me.

I just carefully observed the way each of them wrote. Unfortunately, because Chu Ge and Sun Qianyun are insect-shaped in the eyes of humans, I can't see any problems with their writing.

The only clues left were from the written content. "Yesterday, the four of us woke up at the entrance to the Miro Valley, approximately two kilometers from the Tanlong gathering place..."

"...walking about a kilometer east, we found the inn..."

Li Daosheng, Ren Ou, and Hua Que looked back and forth at the four pieces of paper.

In fact, they did not write in detail, and it could even be called vague.

But the contents of the four were similar, and no one showed any obvious abnormalities.

It’s difficult now.

Even Li Daosheng found it difficult to deal with.

But at this moment, Ren Ou, who had not finished his previous sentence, suddenly pointed to one of the papers and asked, "Who wrote this?"

The two "two bugs" stepped forward and took a look. Sun Qianyun raised her hand in confusion: "It's me."

Li Daosheng and Huaque were also confused. Is there anything wrong with this content?

"Hey, what do you want to say?" Chen Qing began to suspect again whether the people from [Thirteenth Month] were setting a trap for them and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.

"The details she wrote are exactly the same as ours. Even among the four of us, each of us has similar details. Doesn't this mean that it's this place that's haunted, not us? This information center was also set up by the evildoer, so it's not necessarily trustworthy, right?"

She actually had some truth to her.

"Ren Ou, what did you find?" Li Daosheng asked. In fact, even if he couldn't find any loopholes in this piece of paper, he had his own way.

After all, with Li Daosheng, he naturally had one less suspect - Wu Keyong.

Because Wu Keyong's memory contains the name "Li Daosheng", which does not belong to this world at all. This memory comes from Cheng Xue's narration to him and has nothing to do with this world, so... even if he is a royal pest, there is no reason for him to know about this.

And Chen Qing and Chu Ge’s state is actually correct.

and so……

Li Daosheng's suspect was actually Sun Qianyun.

The most crucial place is in the hotel.

Sun Qianyun was the first person to die, and Li Daosheng found the way the hotel owner killed people very strange.

What a coincidence...

It was as if Sun Qianyun was deliberately misleading everyone about how she died.

Correct……

Death demonstration.

At this moment, Ren Ou also pointed at the paper and looked at Sun Qianyun: "The nature of human memory is close to truth, not absolute accuracy."

"The contents of all four are basically the same, but your description alone lacks any vague words like 'approximately', 'probably', 'possibly', or 'perhaps'. Human memory is unreliable."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Chu Ge, Chen Qing and Wu Keyong suddenly changed!
Correct!
As human beings, they know too well what their memory is like. Even if it is a verification code that has just been sent, they will look at it several times.

How can human memory be so accurate?

All eyes fell on Sun Qianyun.

Sun Qianyun stood there quietly, head down, without saying a word.

Suddenly, laughter rang out from the entire Tanlong gathering place.
