Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

After expressing his feelings for a long time, Black Tower finally felt a little better.

His gaze swept over Yu Qingtu and the black swan, his expression complex.

I never expected the truth to be like this.

Yu Qingtu's role in Qi Zhimu's life was not as memorable as that of the Black Swan.

The former and Ruan Mei have something in common: neither of them was able to truly understand their own hearts before Qi Zhimu passed away.

In contrast, the black swan event once again proves the value of the saying: geniuses are not geniuses in all fields.

Having lived too long, cramming too much into my brain, I've forced emotional awareness out of my ears, making me less perceptive than a young girl.

Look at Black Swan, she's only a teenager and just starting to experience romantic feelings, she doesn't think about such things at all.

Liking is liking, and loving is loving.

To win a smile from the one she loves, she will take action to win him over, even though she was a little late, it was all destined.

Qi Zhimu, who has stepped into the shadow of nothingness, has, to put it bluntly, already had his grave dug, but it's not time to bury him yet.

Indeed, the feelings of youth are the purest.

Oh, so I'm a genius too, huh? I get it.

It's no wonder this genius can eat to his heart's content, and it's no wonder Ruan Mei has been driven crazy by her daily interactions with Qi Zhimu these past few days.

Seeing that she was openly in love with her brother, she must have cried in distress, right?

Oh, by the way, Ruan Mei helped me get my breasts augmented.

I was initially quite grateful to her, but now...?

The Heavenly Gang must be overthrown!

Ruan Mei should be the one turning around and thanking me, at least it made her feel a little involved, right?

The thought of her beloved students eating better with her help makes her proud and able to hold her head high, even knowing she's the loser.

Black Tower was far from calming down and couldn't help but think in such a sarcastic way.

How come my beloved Mu-gege, who dotes on me the most, has become a complete doormat and victim in your eyes?

What a blunder! I should have made Brother Mu passive in front of Ruan Mei, and then pretended to be too weak to let Ruan Mei come over and help push my butt.

I regretted it so much I cried.jpg

Looking back on Qi Zhimu's life, it was all thanks to the black swan.

She could see that the black swan was an indispensable factor in Qi Zhimu's peaceful death.

Those who self-destruct into nothingness often need a reason, an anchor point to stabilize their existence in reality and in the world.

The Chaos Physicians were once self-destructors; their anchor is the vow to heal those who have fallen into nothingness and help them rediscover the meaning of existence.

Without the black swan event, Qi Zhimu might not have died at that time; perhaps a few years or even ten years later.

But if it really comes to that, the ending will be infinitely more tragic.

They will most likely become walking corpses wandering in the shadows of nothingness, never to enter the cycle of reincarnation again.

It was the black swan that brought Qi Zhimu a touch of warmth, gave him a hug, and allowed him to peacefully end his journey of self-destruction.

Having figured this out, Black Tower's mind was naturally filled with complex emotions.

The words I spoke to Yu Qingtu earlier cannot be simply and directly repeated to the Black Swan.

Her existence is unique, and her role is immeasurable.

Qi Zhimu's sincere efforts in feeding the dog led to a dramatic turn of events after he completed his training. He received the most genuine reward and response from an eighteen-year-old girl named Clarice.

In a game, calling her the MVP wouldn't be an exaggeration.

It's not so hard to accept that Black Swan and Qi Zhimu could reunite.

Black Tower even felt that if they had to choose someone willing to be tolerant, Ruan Mei had to be sidelined first, Yu Qingtu was also not quite there yet, and only Black Swan was a good candidate.

The black swan didn't intervene, but it did what it thought it should do, and in the end, it was as effective as intervention.

It's her turn to eat.

As for Yu Qingtu's current situation...

Black Tower frowned.

"So the current situation is: Zhi Muru's last wish came true, but an unexpected event occurred, grafting everything related to her onto you, is that what you mean?"

"Correct." Yu Qingtu nodded.

"You kept quiet all this time, were you planning to help Ruan Mei?"

"I'm not helping her, I'm just helping myself."

Yu Qingtu remained calm and asked in return, without haste.

"Black Tower, do you really think I'm so lowly that I need to become Aruan's substitute to get what I want?"

"Um... Could someone please explain the current situation briefly?" Black Swan interjected at the opportune moment.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Meigan's good deeds flashed through Heita's mind again, and he immediately became angry.

But when he turned his gaze to the black swan, he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only gesture for Yu Qingtu to speak.

"Little Goose, here's some bad news: Xiao Mu has forgotten all of us."

Yu Qingtu's first words made Black Swan's face fall, but her next words made her look up in surprise.

"Don't be nervous. The good news is that as long as you reunite with Xiao Mu, he will remember you."

"The bad news is for A-Ruan. Remember what A-Ruan said when she chased Xiao Mu away?"

"How could I not remember? But what does it have to do with that sentence...?"

Halfway through his sentence, the black swan quickly realized a possibility and looked astonished.

"Could it be—that Mr. Qi has truly forgotten her completely, and is unable to remember her at all?"

"Almost there, but too simplistic and crude."

Yu Qingtu couldn't help but sigh again.

"That's why I mentioned the stand-in earlier. Xiao Mu forgot everything about A Ruan, but replaced the person he had been through so much with me."

"I was the one who saved him, I was the one who taught him knowledge, and perhaps... I was also the one who had a pre-existing relationship with him after he was drunk."

"Perhaps out of a desire to protect his self-awareness, he seems to lack the painful memory of leaving his apprenticeship, and there is a possibility that he has embellished or replaced it."

As a person who remembers, Black Swan blurted out this instinctively upon hearing it.

"Automatic correction after specific memories are directly lost?"

"right."

"..." The black swan was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Having dealt with incinerators who enjoy stealing and manipulating other people's memories multiple times, she was well aware of this kind of situation.

If a person's memory is lost or becomes disjointed, and is not repaired, mental problems will inevitably arise.

The brain will try to piece together missing memories based on existing ones, in a logically compatible direction.

No matter how much you try to fix it, it's hard to make it all believable.

To avoid detection, incinerators often fabricate the entire story, including the cause and effect, to perfectly cover it up.

However, Qi Zhimu's method of erasing memories differs from that of the incinerator; he only deletes without replenishing, triggering a series of butterfly effects.

It can be said that in Qi Zhimu's previous life, very few people ever entered his inner world.

The most important thing to him, Ruan Mei, has disappeared. If it is not mended, he will not be able to form a valid memory.

If a few bad sectors appear on an old mechanical hard drive, it's not a big problem.

If the quantity increases, a large area will become red, and if 30% of them turn bad, there will be enough to make a mess of things.

Ruan Mei occupies at least 70%... no, 80% of Qi Zhimu's entire world. Wouldn't that directly cause a system crash?

It's no wonder that Yu Qingtu has taken over everything from Ruan Mei.

Thinking about this, Black Swan carefully considered Yu Qingtu's words and realized the biggest problem.

Qi Zhimu remembered Yu Qingtu and regarded Yu Qingtu as his teacher, then—

Ruan Mei, upon learning all this...

"What's Ms. Ruan Mei's reaction?" Black Swan couldn't help but ask.

"Just like Black Tower said, they've lost their minds and are doing stupid things, getting stuck on trivialities."

Now that things have come to this, Yu Qingtu is not going to give Ruan Mei any face.

Ultimately, she could be both a beneficiary and a direct victim.

Imagine if she played the role that belonged to Ruan Mei and made love to Qi Zhimu, wouldn't she be cheating on him?
