I, Black Tower's fiancé, the best male fighter in the universe

"Walk?"

"Walk."

The two hit it off immediately, and shoulder to shoulder, they rushed towards the fallen shadow...

......

......

"......"

"...He did it to save me..."

"Auntie...I'm sorry..."

"............."

"............Huh? How could this be......?"

......

......

Consciousness gradually returned.

Chu Ze slowly opened his eyes.

Then he met Ruan Mei's face, which was so close to his.

Ruan Mei's fingertips were pressed against his forehead, less than five centimeters apart, and she could even clearly feel his breathing.

He just stared at Ruan Mei, and Ruan Mei just stared back at him.

After a few seconds, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep once more.

Ruan Mei: "............"

The fingertips are shiny.

A stinging pain came.

Chu Ze jolted awake, finally snapping out of his drowsy state:

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... I'm awake, I'm awake..."

What did you dream about just now?

Ruan Mei ignored his nonsense and went straight to the point.

After a brief moment of confusion, Chu Ze quickly came to his senses.

By the way, he didn't come here to flirt with the older woman.

This is an experiment that concerns childhood memories.

"I forgot."

Chu Ze answered truthfully:

“My memory only goes back to before I fell asleep. If you hadn’t spoken up to remind me, I would have thought I was taking a nap at home.”

Ruan Mei removed her fingertips from his forehead.

Then she straightened up, and while continuing to copy down the time, she stated her conclusion:

"It seems to be just as I guessed."

"Your memories are actually stored deep in your brain, but you can't access them due to external interference."

"I remember you once said that you had used the Qiong Guan Formation to rewind time, but the Qiong Guan Formation did not react at all."

"Now it seems that there was indeed a response."

"But once the memory rewinds to its end, it will be immediately forgotten again..."

Chu Ze frowned:

"Is that right?"

"Yes, because I just extracted the scene from your dream. This proves that the experiment was indeed successful, it's just that you didn't retain that memory."

Ruan Mei explained:

Want to understand the specific principles in detail?

Chu Ze shook his head:

"No, I don't think I can understand these things anyway."

Ruan Mei stated bluntly:

"Then I'll just state the conclusion directly."

"Although I don't know the reason, there is indeed an [external entity] interfering with you, and its ability is very powerful."

"Moreover, neither the Wisdom Envoy nor the Hunting Envoys of your Immortal Ship can detect its existence..."

Chapter 96 Ruan Mei: I Want Your Life Essence

This is the final verdict.

It is now completely clear that an unknown and powerful entity has its eyes on him.

Chu Ze suddenly felt a headache coming on.

If a powerful figure with a clear identity regards him as an enemy, even if the other party is a super powerhouse like the Great Lord of Annihilation, he will not feel too helpless.

Fight if you can win, run if you can't, and die if you can't run.

Simple, straightforward, and to the point.

But this time, the enemy's identity is unknown, and even their abilities are those of an invisible and intangible cunning schemer.

It can silently alter memories, and even change the movement of matter, without being detected by anyone.

There's simply no way to start; even if you want to fight back, you don't know who to turn to.

"As for the scenes in your dream, I have already compiled them."

After copying down the current time, Ruan Mei stated her conclusion:

"In this dream, you will recall your entire journey from your first encounter with the Black Tower to leaving Azure Star."

"This dream was exactly as I expected, and it did bring me some gains."

Ruan Mei said with a serious expression:

"In your dream, there is a huge paradox."

"That scene shouldn't exist in your memory, but it appeared in your dream as if there was a data error."

Chu Ze quickly asked:

Stop beating around the bush and just tell me the real answer!

Ruan Mei was slightly taken aback:

"what is the answer?"

Chu Ze said:

"Of course, it's Sister Tako's measurements!"

"She's been staying indoors for so long, and when she finally comes out, I'm thinking about whether I should give her a gift."

"For girls, wearing lingerie personally given to them by a guy they like must be a very romantic thing..."

Ruan Mei gently shook her head:

"That's not romantic."

"...Huh? Isn't that romantic?"

"Hmm. If a man gave me these things, I would just slice them up and feed them to..."

As she spoke, Ruan Mei suddenly stopped.

The pen, used to record time, paused in the corner of the notebook.

Her brows furrowed slightly, then slowly relaxed.

"Chu Ze".

"Ok?"

"Our memories have been manipulated again."

"......Eh?"

......

......

The logic behind Ruan Mei's deep hypnosis was certainly not as simple as it was when she explained it to Chu Ze.

She systematically broke down the anniversaries of her parents' deaths, numbers she could never forget.

These numbers are then used as intervals to record the span of real-world time.

Under deep hypnosis, Ruan Mei's act of recording time has become a subconscious habit.

Each time she wrote down a time, the interval between the previous time and the previous time was taken from a number from the anniversary of her parents' death.

After writing down the time each time, she would get a little distracted and recall the topics she had just discussed with Chu Ze, from the time lost to the continuity of the conversation.

Therefore, right now, at this very moment.

After reviewing the connection between her conversation with Chu Ze and the corresponding time interval, Ruan Mei immediately noticed something was amiss.

"The time is wrong."

"From discussions about dreams to the dimensions of the Black Tower..."

"It's impossible to make such a drastic shift in topic in such a short time."

Even though the conversation scene in my memory was indeed such a smooth transition.

However, judging from the time intervals between the records, this is a very unreasonable situation.

Therefore, Ruan Mei immediately noticed the abnormality.

Chu Ze didn't understand the underlying principles, but since it was Ruan Mei's conclusion, he was clearly more inclined to believe it.

"In other words, we have actually made some kind of discovery just now."

"And this discovery alerted the mastermind behind it all, causing them to activate their abilities again?"

"Yes."

Ruan Mei nodded:

"What is certain at present is that TA is very capable, but it is not yet able to change even subconscious actions."

"It's also impossible to completely ignore the law of causality and fundamentally cut off our desire to continue exploring."

"Hmm...that's also possible. It's not that they can't do it, but rather that they don't want to..."

Chu Ze's lips twitched slightly.

So who is this guy? He's so wickedly giving people difficult questions.

What's the point of this?

Why not just get it over with?

"In conclusion, we can see that recalling memories does have some usefulness."

"But if you analyze it in depth, you will immediately be affected by it."

As Ruan Mei spoke, she took out the cassette containing Chu Ze's dream data and sealed it in the experimental drawer:

"My suggestion is that you can dream here frequently in the next few days."

“Record and archive all the material data recalled in the dream.”

"Finally, I will find a time to get Yu Qingtu, Luo Sigumu, Heita, Stephen... together as much as possible."
