I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Lu Yuan silently acknowledged in his mind, indicating that he understood.

Because those who can access other people's memories are either forbidden beings or even stronger, and either way, they are extremely dangerous.

Lu Yuan followed the Knight with the Lantern to the Potionology section. On the way, he asked a question that seemed casual.

"After Frey woke up, was there anything unusual?"

"No, not at all." The Knight with the Lantern shook his head. "Her memory was indeed affected; she lost some of it. There is no contamination on her body. I have confirmed this repeatedly."

"She has completely lost all memory of what happened that night. The only thing she remembers is that after you arrived, she started thinking about the medicinal herb, and then she doesn't remember anything after that."

The Knight with the Lantern paused here.

"The last thing she remembered was that her face hurt a little."

Lu Yuan touched his nose and didn't reply.

"However, Frey keeps saying that she seems to have forgotten something very important, but she really can't remember it." The Lantern Knight sighed.

Did you forget something?

"It seems the effects of that pathway mutation potion are more severe than I imagined," Oden's voice deepened.

Lu Yuan silently agreed in his mind.

Oh dear, this is bad. This thing, or rather, this potion, is completely different from what I expected.

The room of the drug countermeasures team was somewhat empty.

"This morning I dismissed everyone here, telling them not to come back and try to sabotage the potion for the time being," the Knight with the Lantern casually explained as he entered. "Now we have plenty of time to figure this out."

At this moment, the pipes in the room exuded warmth, and the red and gold carpet was still very soft to the touch.

Frey was sitting on the sofa in the rest area, reading a book.

Hearing someone enter at the door, she looked up.

She was still very small at this moment, and this time her snow-white hair was not tied into a bun, but was simply draped over her shoulders.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Frey's eyes immediately turned resentful, as if to say, "You were so ruthless."

Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed by her gaze.

The Knight with the Lantern seemed oblivious to everything, silently turning his head to the side and somewhat awkwardly steer the conversation back to business.

"Frei, do you still remember what happened that night?"

Frey shook her head.

"I only remember that I seemed to have discovered a way to analyze the pathway of the mutated drug." She frowned. "But I had only been making it for a short time, and I don't remember anything after that. I don't even seem to remember the method itself."

As she spoke, she pouted, her voice tinged with grievance.

"I have indeed forgotten a lot of things, especially the method for refining medicinal herbs. It's as if all my memories of it have been erased," Frey continued. "What's most infuriating is that not only did I get a beating, but I also discovered that it was gone. I just regret not writing it down back then."

"Whether I wrote it down or not, I don't remember myself. Anyway, it's not in the master register."

"So I want you to give it a try," the Knight with the Lantern continued. "Let Lu Yuan lead you through it again. He was there and remembers where you were standing and what you were doing."

Lu Yuan said no problem.

The Lantern Knight remained at the door, while Lu Yuan led Frey into the oval-shaped room on the right and gestured for her to stand in the middle.

This room is almost identical in layout to the one on the left, the only difference being that there are fewer tables and more medicinal herbs. The room next door has tables on three sides, while this one only has tables on two sides. There are six cabinets for medicinal herbs, and even the notebooks for recording thoughts and discoveries are much thinner than those in the other room.

The light on the wall, used for sanity monitoring, shone a calm white.

"You were standing in front of this middle table at the time," Lu Yuan pointed to the table, "and there were several bottles and jars on the tabletop."

Frey followed his words, walked to the table and stood still, tried to gesture a couple of times, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

It's no use, I can't remember anything.

"And then?" Frey looked up and asked.

"Then, that phantom appeared." Lu Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the wall directly in front of her. "It's on that wall."

Frey followed his finger and looked at the wall.

The next second, she froze on the spot.

After a brief pause, Frey helplessly covered her head.

"No, I really have forgotten something." Frey covered her head, her voice muffled. "And whenever I think about these things, my consciousness briefly stops. It's certain that all the related memories have been hidden, or rather, deleted."

The Knight with the Lantern stood at the door and remained silent for a while.

"I asked you to try this, just as an experiment," the Knight with the Lantern said slowly. "Her method was related to the potion, which led to what happened that night. That means that if it's done properly, it might be possible to recreate the situation. If it can be perfectly restored, the subsequent investigation might have a new breakthrough."

He sighed as he finished speaking.

"But right now, there's not much we can do."

The Knight with the Lantern paused for a moment, then turned around and gestured for Lu Yuan to come with him to the middle of the room.

"I originally intended for you to stay away from the path mutation agent for the time being," the Lantern Knight said slowly. "It's just too dangerous. We still haven't figured out how it works. Anyone who gets to come into contact with it has been carefully selected by me."

"It seems that the only option right now is for you to get directly involved."

Lu Yuan nodded, offering no objection.

"This time, I don't intend to let Frey continue operating," the Knight with the Lantern continued. "I need to perform a potion restoration to replicate what she did that night, and I want to entrust this task to you."

"Of course, you can choose not to participate, because it is indeed very dangerous."

"How can we restore it?" Lu Yuan asked the most practical question. "Her memory has been completely wiped away, and I don't know what happened back then either."

"Memories may fade, but medicinal herbs won't," said the Knight with the Lantern. "Although we can't reconstruct what happened that night through her own account, we can trace the source to some extent by identifying the medicinal herbs she used."

"The principle is very simple, so simple that it can hardly be called a verification method. The quantity of herbs and materials in each room is fixed, and everyone reports their usage. We don't need to know what she did on which night, we only need to know what she used on which night to reconstruct her steps."

"Even if she erased her memories, even if someone controlled her to erase her memories, as long as the medicinal ingredients are indeed in short supply, they can be matched. She can't just create medicinal ingredients out of thin air."

The Knight with the Lantern paused, then added.

"To prevent anyone from messing up the order of the herbs, the capacity of the herb cabinets in each room is specially limited. Even if someone does mix the herbs from two rooms together, it will be easy to identify them. But you don't need to worry about that at all, because you were in another room at the time."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

That's definitely a good method. Using the lack of medicinal herbs to trigger action, no matter how much memory is impaired, the items are undeniably missing.

"I'll participate," Lu Yuan replied.

"We don't actually know the specific steps involved, so we can only leave it to you to replicate slowly." The Lantern Knight smiled. "To prevent any dangers, Frey and I will accompany you throughout the replication process."

"She's trying to awaken her memories as much as possible. Problems with the memories of superhumans are absolutely not to be taken lightly. As for me, I'm here to prevent the same thing from happening to you. If your memories are also erased, I won't be able to explain it, and that would be truly disastrous."

He spoke casually, but his expression turned serious.

"This mission is indeed very dangerous. Now that we've agreed to participate, we can't back out."
