Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

"...What did you say?"

Brother Liu was taken aback.

"Your mom was just chatting with me, saying you've been under a lot of pressure studying lately, so she specially made you some chicken soup."

"You child, have you gone stupid from studying too much?"

A chill ran down Wang Yan's spine.

When he transmigrated three months ago, he saw the original owner's parents' death certificates with his own eyes.

car accident.

They both passed away.

Anyone who has lived in this building for a long time knows this.

Before he could ask any further questions...

Click.

The sound of the door lock turning suddenly rang out.

The door to Wang Yan's house slowly opened.

The aroma of food wafted through the air.

Braised pork belly.

Pork rib soup.

Sweet and sour fish.

These are all dishes that my mother used to make most often, just as I remember them.

A woman in a red dress was standing at the door.

She had long, flowing hair, a gentle face, wore an apron, and had a perfectly timed smile on her face.

"Brother Liu, going out to throw out the trash?"

Brother Liu nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

"Yes, sister-in-law, you go ahead with your work, I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded and looked at Wang Yan.

It carried a hint of reproach.

"Xiao Yan, why are you so late? The food's almost cold, come in and eat!"

Wang Yan stood frozen in place, swallowing hard.

He didn't know this woman at all.

But Brother Liu acted as if he were seeing an old friend.

That's so weird!

More importantly, Wang Yan discovered that the memories in his mind were becoming chaotic.

Orphaned, living alone...

These memories are constantly being erased.

Instead, there is another unfamiliar yet reasonable memory.

When I was a child, I had a fever, and this woman in front of me stayed by my bedside.

She comforted herself by saying she had failed the exam...

Noticing the change in his memory, Wang Yan's breathing became rapid.

"No...this isn't right!!!"

Sensing something amiss with the woman before him, Wang Yan promptly donned the Seven Sins Mask.

The next moment, her crimes appeared above the woman's head.

The sin of pride: To despise those who are superior will be crushed.

The 5.5x attribute bonus cleared Wang Yan's mind.

The rate at which memories are being modified is slowing down, but it is still continuing.

If this monster isn't dealt with, it probably won't be long before he really starts to think of it as his mother.

By then, you'll become their meal.

Without thinking twice, Wang Yan kicked the monster in front of him.

boom! ! !

With an impact force of nearly two tons, the woman's body slammed into the house like a cannonball.

The dining table exploded with a loud bang, and the wall it hit instantly left a deep crater.

At the same time, Wang Yan took a step forward, consuming 20 points of Original Sin Value to activate the ability of [Seven Sins Mask].

Red patterns appeared on the mask.

The cracks that symbolize arrogance slowly opened.

An indescribable sense of oppression suddenly descended.

next second.

The entire living room suddenly felt heavy.

The floor cracked instantly.

The steel bars are rolled up.

The woman in the red dress didn't even have time to scream.

His entire body was crushed by the force of the pressure!

Crimson liquid splattered everywhere.

Even so, Wang Yan discovered that the other party was still alive.

In just a moment, the blood and flesh that had been splattered on the ground were gathered back together.

She transformed once again into the woman in the red dress.

Apart from the cracked skin and grotesque appearance, there was no difference from before.

Of course, since Wang Yan did not have the ability to end things, even if he recovered, he was still pressed firmly to the ground and could not move.

Upon seeing this, she let out a piercing scream: "Aaaaaah!!! You damned brat! I'll eat your insides alive!"

As he spoke, his arm transformed into several scarlet tentacles, which he viciously stabbed at Wang Yan.

But those tentacles had only just left her body.

It was instantly crushed and couldn't even get close to Wang Yan.

Upon seeing this, the woman's face darkened, but her tone softened.

"Xiao Yan? Why did you hit Mommy? It hurts so much, it hurts so much!!!"

These words seemed to have a magical power, causing the wariness and murderous intent in Wang Yan's eyes to quickly dissipate.

Yes.

This is my mother.

Why did I hurt my mother?

That's so unfilial!

"I'm sorry, Mom, I... I don't know what happened to me today. I'll help you up now."

Wang Yan apologized and began to walk forward.

But the next moment, he saw the other person's blood-red notification above their head.

[The Sin of Wrath: Those who harbor hatred and murderous intent will be burned at the stake.]

Realizing something was wrong, Wang Yan immediately bit his tongue and came to his senses.

"I almost fell for this damn thing's trick!"

"Arrogance won't kill you, try rage."

next second.

He immediately poured all the remaining 31 points of original sin into it.

Red and scarlet patterns appeared on the mask.

The fissures representing rage slowly opened.

Seeing this scene.

The woman in the red dress was startled at first.

Then he burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha, my good son, you're so naughty. Your attacks are just tickling me. Give up and let me eat your insides."

But she had barely finished speaking.

Her smile froze completely.

because.

She suddenly realized.

A surge of heat gushed out from within his body.

next second.

boom!!!

Crimson flames.

It suddenly exploded from inside her body!

blood.

Internal organs.

bone.

Everything is on fire!

The woman was burned to ashes before she could even scream.

At this moment, a system notification sounded.

[Class B artifact detected: False Memory Pocket Watch]

[Strange Object: The False Memory Pocket Watch]

[Ability: Can permanently alter the target's cognition and memories; the duration of alteration depends on the difference in strength between the two parties.]

[Side effect: Each use will cause you to forget a memory]

Rating: B

[Should I add this to my favorites?]

Wang Yan's eyes lit up.

I got a loot drop!

Moreover, it's an extremely powerful B-grade artifact that can be used in conjunction with the Seven Deadly Sins Mask!

"collect."

A blood-red ladies' pocket watch fell into the system space.

A notification popped up in front of me.

[Successfully added to favorites]

[The side effects of using this rare item have been waived!]

[Task: Collect 10 unusual items (2/10)]

……

Just as Wang Yan encountered that ghostly thing.

The morgue in the city center.

Three people dressed in black, with an aura completely different from that of the police.

He was standing in front of the corpse that Wang Yan had discovered during the day.

One of the young men, wearing black-rimmed glasses, slowly put down the documents in his hand.

His face gradually turned pale.

"Internal organs are gone, and some people have memories that weren't even there... There's no mistake!"

"This is the A-level calamity [Memory Eater] that occurred in Anping Town three months ago!"

These words were spoken.

The entire morgue fell silent instantly.

A short-haired woman standing nearby immediately turned pale.

"A...A grade?! How is that possible?!"

The other burly man seemed to realize something and subconsciously took a half step back.

"Damn it...it's that damn thing!"

The bespectacled young man nodded slowly.

The air instantly became oppressive.

Three months ago.

Anping Town.

The town has 1,743 residents.

None survived.

And the most terrifying thing is...

At the very beginning of the incident.

Nobody noticed anything was wrong.

Because everyone's perception has been distorted.

The husband forgot his wife was dead.

The child forgets that his parents have disappeared.

Some people even lived with a corpse for half a month without noticing anything wrong.

By the time headquarters discovered it.

The whole town.

It has completely become a dead town.

The culprit.

This calamity is named "The Memory Eater".

Thinking of that file.

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

The short-haired woman's voice trembled.

"Captain... how about we wait for reinforcements from headquarters?"

"With just the few of us, if we really encountered that thing, I'm afraid..."

She didn't say anything more.

But everyone understands.

I've really run into the [Memory Eater].

They will most likely die.

even.

He didn't even know how he died.

The bespectacled young man remained silent for a moment.

In the end, I gritted my teeth and spoke.

"Report to headquarters! Request a Level A disaster response."

"Also... continue tracking! We absolutely cannot let it leave Jiangdong City!"

Everyone's hearts sank.

But they still acted quickly.

A few minutes later.

In the center of the morgue.

A pale white candle was slowly lit.

The eerie green flames flickered gently.

at the same time.

Inside the chest cavity of the corpse.

A wisp of grayish-white aura slowly drifted out.

The short-haired woman closed her eyes.

Place both hands on the ground.

The wisp of grayish-white aura immediately drifted outwards.

"Lock successful".

"Chase!"

Following the grayish-white aura, the group quickly pursued it in their car.

however.

Just as the vehicle was about to enter the old town.

That wisp of grayish-white aura.

It suddenly stopped.

Followed by.

It was as if the source had been lost.

It began to dissipate rapidly.

"What?!"

The short-haired woman suddenly opened her eyes.

"The tracking has been lost?!"

The burly man frowned.

"impossible!"

"Even though this [Soul-Chasing Incense] is a replica of the S-rank artifact [Replication Mirror], it shouldn't be ineffective, right?"

The bespectacled youth's expression also changed slightly.

"Unless... unless that A-level calamity dies!"

"Quickly use your permissions to check the [Soul Lamp] and see if the one belonging to the [Memory Eater] has gone out!"

"Good...it's destroyed! It's actually destroyed!"

boom.

After obtaining a definitive result.

The minds of everyone in the car went completely blank for a moment.

A few seconds later.

The burly man's eyes widened suddenly.

"Are you kidding me?! Someone in a place like Jiangdong City could actually kill that monster?!"

Women with short hair are especially horrified.

"Could it be that someone from headquarters has already arrived ahead of time?"

"impossible."

The bespectacled young man immediately denied it.

"It will take at least two hours for headquarters to provide support."

These words were spoken.

Everyone's breath caught in their throats for a moment.

In other words.

A powerful individual or team of powerful individuals capable of killing A-level calamities has appeared in Jiangdong City.

The young man thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.

"check."

"Check the list of all registered instrument users in Jiangdong City."

"Don't let anyone living in the old town area slip by; anyone with this ability must join our management bureau!"
