Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 181 I heard you've been telling everyone I'm dead?

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Morgan finally "woke up" and met with Victor in the hospital room.

“What have they all been doing?” Morgan asked.

Victor sat down and looked Morgan up and down, noticing that Morgan's complexion was rosy and he didn't look like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

“Elon contacted some of the veterans from the Red Card era, and it seems he intends to support Mark,” Victor replied.

"Charles spread the word among the upper class that you might not survive, trying to win their support, and intends to become the successor lord through a general election of the upper class."

"No one else made a move."

Morgan sighed softly.

He said disappointedly, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Charles is not young, and he doesn't even understand this simple principle. How can I entrust the lighthouse to him?"

Victor remained silent.

At this point, Morgan asked again, "What about Mark? Is he ready?"

Victor shook his head.

“Mark has made no move. He has neither gone to see Bai Yuetian nor met with other hunters in private. Elon’s contact with the veterans has been kept secret from him. He probably knows nothing and has no intention of doing anything.”

Morgan nodded slowly: "Mark has always been a worry-free kid, just like Red Hair."

"Ugh."

Morgan sighed deeply when Red Cocoon was mentioned.

"Lord City Lord, what exactly is wrong with you?" Victor couldn't help but ask. "You don't look like you've just woken up from a coma."

Morgan said softly, "It's just a two-day rest, and a chance to see what people are thinking."

"Human hearts?" Victor frowned.

What's so interesting about people's hearts?

There are only a few people in the Lighthouse, and they've all watched the kids grow up. What kind of treacherous stories could possibly happen there?

Was it necessary to stage this scene?

“White Moonlight,” Morgan reminded him.

Victor paused for a moment, then came to his senses: "Bai Yuetian hasn't made any unusual moves. He's living on the lighthouse as usual, but he's been getting very close to Erica these past two days."

Morgan coughed lightly.

Victor immediately handed him a cup of tea.

“I’ve been thinking about Bai Yuetian’s matter these past two days.” Morgan took the tea and sipped it.

Victor looked like he was all ears.

"Bai Yuetian initially said he had amnesia and didn't remember anything from before," Morgan recalled the scene when he first met Bai Yuetian.

At that time, Bai Yuetian violated the Lighthouse Law.

He should have severely punished Bai Yuetian to uphold the authority of the Lighthouse Law, but he mistakenly took Bai Yuetian for his teacher and told him a lot of things.

During the conversation, Bai Yuetian's surprise didn't seem feigned; he genuinely seemed to know nothing.

"I think he really doesn't remember anything from before."

"If he remembered, or knew that the lighthouse was built by Mr. Gray, he would never have followed Mark to the lighthouse and put himself in danger."

Morgan said slowly.

During the two days he feigned illness, he escaped the tedious political affairs of the lighthouse and gained a long-awaited peace.

He was constantly thinking about Bai Yuetian.

Now he finally has a clue.

After listening to Morgan's words, Victor nodded in agreement: "I also find it strange. Bai Yuetian came to the Lighthouse alone, without impersonating Lord Gray to seek control of the Lighthouse. It's almost like a lamb entering a tiger's den."

Morgan nodded.

He mistook someone for someone else, and Bai Yuetian accepted it, but even after accepting it, Bai Yuetian did not take the opportunity to make a move.

So far, all I've gotten is a citizenship and some food.

If Bai Yuetian didn't have a mental problem, he would never have risked going to the lighthouse for a bite to eat; his amnesia is very likely real.

“I have a guess now,” Morgan said slowly. “The teacher may have obtained Bai Yuetian’s body before the disaster broke out, and then Bai Yuetian’s brain was preserved in the life support pod until recently when it was moved back to his own body.”

"Therefore, Bai Yuetian's memories are stuck in the old world, and he knows nothing about what happened in the following decades, which objectively appears to be amnesia."

Victor was stunned.

Is that right?

If you think about it carefully, it is really possible.

Victor said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, it explains why Bai Yuetian lost his memory and why he followed Mark to the lighthouse."

"But who performed the brain transplant on him?"

Morgan pursed her lips.

This was the only thing he didn't understand.

Hisakawa Defense knew that Bai Yuetian was alive and was deliberately searching for him.

The two statements are essentially contradictory.

How did Hisakawa Defense know that Bai Yuetian had obtained the body?

Was the brain transplant surgery performed by Hisakawa Defense Force? But if it was Hisakawa Defense Force, how could Bai Yuetian be in a hibernation pod in the wild?
But who else could it be but Hisakawa Defense?
The teacher himself?

Morgan shook his head, dismissing the unreliable idea.

It couldn't have been the teacher himself.

Given the teacher's deep hatred for Bai Yuekui, it's clear that the teacher would never voluntarily return the body.

It could be Bai Yuekui.

If Bai Yuekui didn't act with Jiuchuan Defense, then there's a possibility that she captured the teacher in the wild, performed a brain transplant, and then left on her own, notifying Jiuchuan Defense to retrieve the person at a designated location. However, by the time Jiuchuan Defense arrived, Bai Yuekui had already been taken back to the lighthouse by Mark.

“That’s not important,” Morgan said slowly.

"The important thing is that those people behind Bai Yuetian must know where the teacher went!"

Victor's eyelids twitched.

"Lord City Lord, are you planning to take action against Bai Yuetian?" he asked cautiously.

Morgan nodded first, then shook his head.

"I must find him alive or dead. I must find out where my teacher is."

"but not now."

"I have already allowed Dr. Carrie to expand the scope of human experiments and attempt to activate the Abyss."

"She promised a major breakthrough."

"If there is indeed a breakthrough, the Abyss Walkers will be reactivated."

Morgan didn't continue, but Victor understood his meaning and his expression turned serious.

“Alright, go and call Charles in. I have something to say to him.” Morgan lowered his head.

Victor stood up: "Yes, Lord City Lord."

He left the ward.

“Charles, the city lord wants to see you,” Victor’s voice came from outside the door.

Soon, the door to the ward was pushed open again, and this time Charles entered.

“Father,” Charles said in a low voice.

He walked to the bedside with his head down, slowly sat down, his eyes somewhat evasive.
Morgan looked him straight in the eye.

Looking into Morgan's eyes and thinking about what he had been doing these past few days, Charles felt guilty and uneasy.

“Call me by my title,” Morgan said expressionlessly.

“Lord of the City.” Charles felt a chill run down his spine.

My father has woken up, which is certainly a good thing, but why do I feel so anxious?

Morgan took a deep breath.

"I heard you've been telling everyone I'm dead?"
