“Hmm…that’s true,” Lu Baizhi said unhappily, “Brother Fan, you’re mean.”
"Sorry sorry."
Young Fan smiled slightly.
Lu Baizhi pressed on, "Since there are no bad guys, why doesn't Brother Fan go home?"
“I…” Young Fan sighed, “I’m like you, for some complicated reasons, I don’t really want to go home right now.”
"Then... I'll bring you food every day until you want to go home, Brother Fan."
Lu Baizhi said, "But in exchange, Brother Fan has to chat with me every day, okay?"
"That's great, I actually benefited from this." The young man said with some emotion, "Bai Zhi is such a good child."
"Um……"
Lu Baizhi was a little embarrassed.
……
The young man thus fell into a state of escapism.
Every day, he repeatedly encouraged himself, gathering the courage to return to the training school to check on his sister's condition.
After spending about a week together, his relationship with Lu Baizhi grew stronger and stronger, to the point where they could talk about anything.
Of course, to avoid involving the other party, he still did not reveal anything related to the training school.
He was very grateful to Lu Baizhi and hoped that the girl could stay away from danger and not have her daily life shattered by the supernatural, ending up like him.
By the seventh day, tormented by repeated hunger, young Fan knew he didn't have much time left to waste or hesitate.
At this point, he became more accepting of things.
Given his current physical condition... he'll lose his mind sooner or later.
Instead of dying while you're still lucid, why not take a chance and at least not die as a coward?
So, on the seventh day, after Lu Baizhi arrived, he chatted with the little girl for a while before saying goodbye: "I'm going home."
"Huh?" Lu Baizhi stood there stunned. "So...so fast?"
“I’ve been out for seven days now, my family must be very worried about me.” Young Fan comforted him, “Don’t worry, it’s not goodbye forever. I will come back here in the future. Let’s treat this place as our own secret base.”
"Well……"
Lu Baizhi looked dejected, clearly very reluctant to part with him.
Young Fan patted her head: "It's just a temporary separation, we'll meet again sooner or later. Come on, let's pinky swear, only a puppy would lie."
"Um……"
Although reluctant, Lu Baizhi obediently made a pinky promise with Fan Xiao.
With this agreed-upon ceremony, she felt much more at ease.
"I'm sorry, I might not be able to come back..." the young man said apologetically in his heart.
"Alright, go back now, Bai Zhi," Fan Xiao said. "Remember what I taught you: trust your family, ask your sister for help, and make many friends. Then no one will dare to give you nicknames anymore."
“Okay!” Lu Baizhi nodded emphatically: “I will! Well… I’ll go back now.”
"it is good……"
"I can't let you go back like this; the logical discrepancies in your memory need to be corrected."
At that moment, a slightly refined male voice rang out not far from young Fan and Lu Baizhi.
The two turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with a thin face, a high nose, a kind expression, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
The young man's body tensed instantly: "It's you...! Where's my sister? What did you do to her!?"
"Don't worry, Fan Xiao, your sister is doing well. I made a bet with her."
Dr. Zhuang was mild-mannered and not at all arrogant; he even took the initiative to reveal the contents of the bet.
After the young man understood, he continued, "The result is... she succeeded, and she succeeded tremendously. Now, as promised, I will restore your physical condition so that you can return to a peaceful and stable life."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Baizhi, who was standing to the side trembling, and said, "This adds another problem that needs to be dealt with."
“This has nothing to do with her!” the young man quickly said.
"Sorry, that's not something you can decide."
Dr. Zhuang slowly walked over.
Young Fan gritted his teeth and charged forward, shouting, "I'll fight you to the death! Give my sister back!!"
Then, Dr. Zhuang pressed his head down.
After struggling for a while and realizing he couldn't break free, Fan, filled with despair, could only turn to Lu Baizhi and shout, "Baizhi! Run! Run!"
After shouting, he tightly hugged Dr. Zhuang's arm, seemingly trying to buy time.
Dr. Zhuang watched this scene, feeling the subtle force on his arm, and said with a hint of helplessness, "If only you were as smart as your sister, then even if you didn't have any psychic potential, I would still take you with me. Your reckless and futile resistance is far less impressive than your sister's, Fan Xiao."
He then turned his head and looked at Lu Baizhi, who was about to obey his warning and run away: "Come here."
The terrified little girl immediately stopped trembling, revealing a slightly bewildered look in her eyes, and obediently approached step by step.
Seeing this, the young man shouted anxiously, "No...!"
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her. Living peacefully in ignorance is the best ending for you powerless people."
As Dr. Zhuang spoke, he poured a bottle of medicine into the mouth of the young man, Fan.
Overwhelmed by drowsiness, young Fan Qiang roused himself and looked in Lu Baizhi's direction, his mind simultaneously conjuring up the image of his older sister.
He understood that Teacher Zhuang wanted to alter his memories.
After today, both his sister and Lu Baizhi will disappear from his memory forever.
He will lose both of them forever.
I'm afraid we'll never have the chance to meet again.
The feeling of powerlessness filled him with guilt, pain, and regret...
Unfortunately, nothing could overcome the overwhelming drowsiness that kept creeping in.
Looking at Lu Baizhi's blank expression, he only managed to utter one last sentence: "I'm sorry..."
……
Fan Xiao had been wondering about two things for a long time.
Before the age of 14, he was always unlucky and rarely had a moment of peace. This was most likely because his superpowers were constantly going berserk and activating without stopping.
So, the first question arises—how did he manage to survive until now?
He was having a series of misfortunes, from minor to major, facing a life-or-death crisis... Logically speaking, he should have died long ago.
Fan Xiao found the answer in the world of memories.
It turned out that the cosmic rules embodied in his spirit were protecting him.
Even if he is so unlucky as to be captured and used for human experiments, have his head cut open, be repeatedly tortured, and be soaked in fantasy substances as a human sample... even if he is so unlucky as to lose Lu Baizhi, lose his sister, and have his memories altered... even if his life is so miserable, he will still not die.
It's hard to say whether this is protection or a curse.
The rules of the universe do not involve any emotion; thinking from this perspective... that's probably a form of protection.
In addition, there is a second question—since his superpowers were constantly going berserk before he was 14, then... where did all the luck he accumulated over the years go?
Can't we just let bad luck just disappear?
He's been unlucky ever since he can remember; he's never been lucky.
It's rare to meet a kind and caring older sister, but she's actually a yandere at heart...
Now, Vanshaw has found the answer—unsurprisingly, all that luck was used to make a wish.
Overwhelmed with guilt, just before falling into a coma, young Fan made a wish with great willpower—that Lu Baizhi could live a safe and peaceful life.
How terrifying is luck over a decade or more?
The moment Lu Baizhi made her wish, her life was probably completely changed.
From then on, she never encountered any more troubles.
Her family's business, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, has made a comeback.
Everything she does goes smoothly.
She is no longer ridiculed by others.
Her grades at school improved day by day.
Her looks have caught up with Lu Xining's, and her figure has surpassed Lu Xining's. She no longer feels inferior in front of her sister... She has even made her sister envious of her.
Her luck was astonishing, visible to the naked eye, and beyond reason... and this luck had become the norm, accompanying her throughout her life.
She could probably become an A-level player even if she just coasted along.
Those unaware of the situation might mistake her for an S-class psychic potential user.
This is probably why Lu Baizhi's luck became unusually bad after she turned eight.
"So, my guilt stems from not being able to save Lu Baizhi and Gu Hange, and... from the contempt I feel for my own powerlessness and weakness?"
Fan Xiao finally understood the whole story behind everything that had happened in the past.
The exploration work ends here.
His next task is to figure out how to escape this world of memories and find his "superego" to complete the second mission.
He had already devised a method for this—to forcibly make up for the past regrets with overwhelming force, and then achieve genuine spiritual sublimation through this illusory remedy.
Just like in the previous instance, he used the same method to "awaken" the true King Caesar.
Fan Xiao didn't know if this would be successful.
After all, he doesn't have detailed memories of the past. He only understands the past from the perspective of an observer. Without experiencing it firsthand, it's unlikely that he can empathize with it or psychologically overcome his unfortunate past.
but……
Anyway, Dr. Zhuang and his people will come after him sooner or later. This is just a matter of triggering the crisis in advance and dealing with it.
The task remains the same, so... it's worth a try!
With this in mind, Fan Xiao took action.
At this moment, the young Fan had already fainted under the effects of the drug, and Lu Baizhi also came to Dr. Zhuang's side.
Their memories will soon be altered, turning them into strangers.
Taking advantage of Dr. Zhuang's focus, Fan Xiao quietly reached below and then summoned the little angel.
To prevent his opponent from retaliating with sophisticated tactics, he planned to unleash his ultimate move and catch them off guard!
Chapter 484 Dr. Zhuang's Abilities
"sixteen."
Fan Xiao murmured.
The newly emerged little angel immediately split into two, then four... and soon the number reached sixteen.
They teleported to the ground and, following the hostility Fan Xiao displayed, simultaneously swung their scythes.
*Thud, thud...* Dr. Zhuang's body shattered, instantly reduced to nothingness, leaving not a trace of flesh behind.
With a snap, the little angel cleaved through the earth and brought Fan Xiao to the surface.
Fan Xiao glanced at the spot where Dr. Zhuang had disappeared, then looked at the young Fan lying on the ground, and at Lu Baizhi beside him with a dazed look in her eyes, and frowned slightly.
It went so well!
Dr. Zhuang... is he really that easy to kill?
This is the world of memories. Killing players here will not yield any item inheritance hints for the evolution game, so he has no way to confirm whether Dr. Zhuang is dead or not through the game.
"Are you sure you successfully killed them?" Fan Xiao could only ask the little angels.
"Everyone has disappeared."
