I, the Memory Master, play with players in my hands

With Yuqing's perception, she naturally noticed Xing who was following closely behind her, but she did not stop. Instead, she increased her speed and disappeared from Xing's sight after making a sharp turn in the alley.

Yuqing's speed was getting faster and faster. She was flying through the alleys that were interconnected. After she had traveled an unknown distance, she finally caught up with the figure of her target.

The person was wrapped in a black robe and looked to be about the same size as Yuqing. He was agile and seemed to know the structure of the entire alley very well. No matter how fast Yuqing chased him, he could always leave Yuqing several meters away.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the man, Yuqing's hand suddenly flashed with green light, and a long sword appeared in his hand. At the same time, he shouted at the man: "Stop! Give up resistance immediately, or I will take action!"

As Yuqing said at the beginning, although the next whole day was her personal time, she would also take care of the patrol task. The moment she and Xing stepped onto Chengnan Street, she had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at them.

But she could never find the source of this feeling until earlier, when three flesh-seeing infected people were causing trouble. She finally discovered the source of those eyes - that was the person who was fleeing rapidly in front of her!

It was unknown how long the chase between the two lasted. Finally, with Yuqing's careful planning, she forced the fleeing person into a dead end.

"Stop resisting, squat down with your hands on your head, and tell me who you are." Yuqing did not hesitate at all. She held her sword with extreme vigilance and approached the man who was forced into a dead end step by step. "You have been following me. What is your purpose? Did you also cause the explosion just now?"

The seemingly meaningless question was influenced by Yuqing's [memory] of destiny. Even if the black-robed man opposite said nothing, K's [memory] would tell Yuqing the truth of everything.

However, Yuqing stopped, her pupils shrank slightly, and a look of surprise and doubt flashed in her eyes.

[Memory] will not lie, but no matter how she tries to penetrate this person's memory, she cannot get any response.

This was a situation Yuqing had never encountered before. She stood firm, staring at the black-robed man with her amber eyes, and the white sword in her hand made a buzzing sound: "You..."

"Who is it?!"

He is completely immune to his ability to see through memories, is more agile than himself, and is even extremely familiar with the entire South City Street... This man in black is no ordinary guy, and Yuqing is ready to attack at any time.

The black-robed man did not answer Yuqing's question. She just laughed an ambiguous laugh: "Hehe..."

From the laughter, Yuqing could determine the gender of the man in black robe, but after hearing the laughter, she broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously - because this voice was exactly the same as hers!

"Who am I? Yuqing, don't you know?"

The man in black robe finally raised his head. When Yuqing saw the face under the black robe, he was stunned.

Under the dark clothes, Yuqing saw that person's face was constantly changing. First, he changed from a very ordinary passerby on the fairy boat to a black armored soldier that Yuqing had just seen during the day, then changed into a fortune-teller, and then changed into the strange stall owner that she and Xing had encountered before...

Finally, the man in black robe turned into Yuqing.

The man in black robe slowly took off his hood, and his long aqua blue hair fell down. He lifted up his bangs, and his dazzling amber eyes met Yuqing's horrified eyes.

"Time is running out. It's about time to finish your boring role-playing game, right?"

As the man in black robe spoke, he walked towards Yuqing with light steps. Yuqing immediately prepared to strike with the sword, but then she realized that her body had become out of control for some reason. She was fixed in place as if she was under a spell and could not move. She could only watch the man in black robe approach her.

"Don't be nervous, relax, it's just that I need you to remember something."

The man in black robe came step by step to Yuqing, with a faint smile on her face. She slowly raised her hand and gently pressed her thumb on Yuqing's temple.

"Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal."

As the black-robed woman spoke calmly, as if coaxing a child to sleep, Yuqing suddenly felt a chill filling her brain. Her pupils gradually dilated, and different images began to flash back in her mind.

She first saw a highly modernized city that clearly did not look like a fairy ship, then saw a girl who looked like a social animal die in an office building, and then she saw her own birth...

She saw herself being picked up from the battlefield by Chang Geng, saw herself becoming a general of Dai C step by step, and saw Dai C flourishing under her management...but in these scenes, there was only one person missing - Xing.

Finally, she saw flames rising into the sky and endless numbers of protozoa.

The picture froze on a figure of an emperor who was ten thousand feet tall and whose body was like a prism.

"When you put on this magic ring, you will no longer be yourself. From now on, there will be no more Yuqing, only the Rememberer."

There was a sharp pain in her brain, and Yuqing's dilated pupils suddenly contracted. She felt that she had suddenly regained her movement, and she immediately slashed with her sword towards the position of the black-robed woman!

However, the sword fell into empty space.

The woman in black robes had long disappeared, and Yuqing was the only one left in the alley. She covered her aching brain with one hand, half-knelt on the ground, and stuck her sword into the ground to maintain her body shape. Yuqing felt that her brain was in unprecedented pain. The scenes she had seen before were like memories that were forcibly implanted. Her current memories and those scenes were colliding in her mind. Yuqing could only feel confusion.

[Oh no, how did we lose her? Mihoyo, please stop it! If we go back without finding Yuqing, and Yuqiu shows up later to tell us that Yuqing is dead, wouldn’t that be Ai Lishia 2.0?! ]

[What's the matter with the sudden tense atmosphere? No, we were just having a good time just now, don't try to be so aggressive! ]

"Who is speaking?!"

Yuqing covered her head with her hands. In the endless chaos, she clearly heard the sound that she had never been able to detect before.

[I have a bad feeling. Could it be that this trip is the same as Yuqing's 10,000 ways to die? In reality, Yuqing dies in the past, and then dies in different ways over and over again? Aren't many time-travel movies very fond of playing this kind of trick? ]

[Fuck, what devil? ]

"Where do these [memories]... come from?"

"Who am I?"

"Xing...who is it?"

Volume 1: Chapter 148: The Flesh War breaks out, Yuqing regains her memory?

Maybe it was a feeling in his heart, maybe it was the guidance of fate, or maybe it was just good luck... In short, after searching for a while, Xing finally found Yuqing in a corner of the alley.

"Sister Yuqing...are you okay?"

Yuqing sat on the ground leaning against the wall at the end of the alley, supporting her knee with one hand, her head lowered, and she looked extremely depressed.

After hearing Xing's call, Yuqing slowly raised his head. For some reason, Xing felt that Yuqing's amber eyes now looked extremely dim.

[That's great, I'm glad Sister Yuqing is okay. I was really worried that Yuqing would die again.]

[Although she is not dead, Sister Yuqing's condition looks strange. Why has she become so depressed? ]

[Ah, when I think of Dai C's fate in the future and see Yu Qing's current state, I feel heartbroken. How much is she carrying on her shoulders as she moves forward... Can't this bastard world let Sister Yu Qing win once? ]

[Many people used to think that Yuqing was too cheerful. Seeing her cheerful all day long was a bit visually tiring, but now... Sister Yuqing, can you smile a little? ]

"..." Listening to the chaotic voices around her, Yuqing sighed deeply. She slowly stood up, met Xing's worried gaze, and passed by Xing directly. "Let's go... clean up the scene. Soon... the army will be here."

Xing was stunned for a moment before turning around. She looked at Yuqing's back. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Yuqing's back was stretched out very long. Her steps were very slow, and the whole person looked completely devoid of her previous vitality, as if her soul had been taken away and she was depressed.

"Sister Yuqing, wait for me!"

Xing followed Yuqing's pace, and the two walked side by side in the dark alley, and no one continued to speak.

When they returned to the battlefield, the black-armored soldiers stationed near Chengnan Street were already cleaning up the battlefield. The leading soldier saw Yuqing and hurriedly came forward to report the situation.

"Master Xiaowei, preliminary judgment is that the three people have been parasitized by the visual flesh for more than half a year... their brains have been eaten away by the visual flesh. We suspect that the visual flesh may have infiltrated the entire immortal ship [Dai C]."

"Well, what about the casualties?"

"Sixteen people were seriously injured, two were missing, and one person failed to be rescued. The injured have been sent to the hospital. We are now searching for the two missing people in the ruins."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yuqing nodded. She looked at Xing, who had a complicated expression on her face, and then said to the soldier, "I'll leave this child to you guys first. I have to go back to the general's mansion."

"Yes, Lord Xiaowei."

Yuqing still looked tired, but her pace had quickened a bit. She left the scene in big strides, leaving Xing alone looking at Yuqing's back, wondering what she was thinking.

"Sister Yuqing...what happened to you?"

……

time flies.

Ever since the accident on Chengnan Street, Xing felt that Yuqing seemed like a completely different person. Yuqing had completely lost her relaxed smile. Regardless of whether she was at work or not, she always had a stern face, and the words "No entry allowed" were almost written on her face.

Three days after that incident, Xing regained her freedom. Yuqing personally issued her a certificate of permanent residence in Xianzhou [Dai C] and gave her a small single-person house next to Yuqing's own home. From then on, Xing rarely saw Yuqing again.

Although their residences were very close now, Xing often didn't see Yuqing for a day or two in a row. One day, she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she found a Xuanjia soldier on guard on the street and asked him. Only then did she learn that Yuqing had been living in the general's mansion for some time, and it seemed that she was handling government affairs in advance.

Most people on the Dai C believed that Yu Qing would soon take over the position of general, and in fact it was true. Two months after Xing arrived at the Immortal Boat [Dai C], just a few days before the transition from the 1199th year of the Star Calendar to the 1200th year, General Chang Geng publicly announced his resignation from the position of general and handed over the position of general to Xiao Wei Yu Qing.

From then on, [Xiaowei] Yuqing became [General] Yuqing. At this time, Yuqing was only 26 years old.

As the youngest general in the history of the nine immortal ships of the alliance, Yuqing showed a tough hand that was extremely inconsistent with his age. Less than three days after taking office, all the assets of the nobles of the alliance elders on Dai C were confiscated by the general's mansion. While the means of production were nationalized, the employment space for ordinary people was also greatly expanded. This act of openly declaring war on the nobles was praised by the civilians, but it undoubtedly aroused the anger of the upper nobles.

Therefore, at the alliance meeting that month, the upper class nobles joined forces with the actual power holders of the three immortal ships [Luofu], [Yuanqiao], and [Fanghu] to impeach Yuqing, trying to directly deprive Yuqing of his position and regain the actual control of Dai C. At the same time, four of the other five immortal ships chose to stand idly by, and Yuqing could be said to be completely in a desperate situation.

However, Yuqing didn't care. Yuqing said in an arrogant manner at the meeting:

"In the past few years, under my command, the military level of Dai C is more advanced than that of all the immortal boats except Yao Qing. I think that in order to ensure the harmony of the alliance, it is better for you to keep your opinions on me secret."

Provocation! Naked provocation!

However, faced with Yuqing's provocation, the upper class nobles could only compromise in the end - because all the representatives of the immortal boat [Yaoqing], which was known for its abundant martial virtues, openly supported Yuqing and stated that they would always stand on the same front with [Dai C].

If these two immortal ships with the strongest military power unite and really want to overthrow the current system of the Immortal Ship Alliance, it is only a matter of time. The upper nobles can only give in and make concessions, and watch Yuqing carry out major reforms on Dai C.

Various epoch-making strategies were introduced one after another in [Daic], and the per capita living standard of the immortal ship Daic increased significantly in less than a year. It is not an exaggeration to say that the ship is peaceful and the people are safe. However, when Xing occasionally saw Yuqing, he found that Yuqing was full of fatigue.

I don't know what made Xing apply to join the Dai C army.

Although he encountered a lot of trouble along the way due to his identity as a barbarian, Xing finally passed many tests as he wished and joined the Xuanjia Army, and his potential as a destiny walker was soon discovered.

Destiny Walkers were a scarce talent during this period. Even though Xing was not a native of Dai C, her status in the Dai C Xuanjia Army continued to rise because of her identity as a Destiny Walker. She was eventually promoted by Yu Qing himself to the position of a personal soldier in the General's Mansion.

[Oh no, at this rate, will the pioneers become generals in a few years? ]

[Let me be honest. We have already joined the Black Armor Army, but how come the Pioneer doesn't even have a model for the military uniform? It was so detailed before, so adding a model now is not too much, right? ]

[This kind of fast-paced flashback narrative is the first time I've seen it. Can the plot be pushed forward this way? But the effect is really good. Such a large amount of information can be explained in just a few paragraphs. It's great.]

[However, the story has already started to be told at this pace, does this mean that this part of the story is about to end? ]

[According to the time calculation, the visual war should be about to begin, right? No, the pioneers have already started the butterfly effect, we must win this time! ]

[Sister Yuqing has been so deliberate, let her win! Even if it is just an illusion of the past, let her win once! ]

The Visual Flesh War was indeed about to break out. The previous attack on South Street was just the beginning. In the following period of time, incidents of visual flesh infected people injuring people occurred frequently, and reached the most serious outbreak period in the middle of the 1200th year of the Star Calendar - a large town fell completely, and almost all the residents were infected with visual flesh. In the end, Dai C had to use weapons of mass destruction to raze this cave to the ground.

This is like a biochemical crisis. The original downtown area is no longer prosperous. All residents are in danger, fearing that they will turn into flesh-seeking monsters one day, and they are also worried that the people around them will mutate one day. The whole city is in panic.

This time, Yuqing's iron-fisted policy was no longer effective. She adopted a block isolation plan, dividing the residential area of ​​Dai C into different isolation areas, and advised all residents not to go out unless necessary. All work was suspended, and professional doctors were required to conduct regular home quarantines... Yuqing did almost everything she could, but to no avail.

More and more people were infected with the Vision Flesh, not only Dai C, but also the fairy ship [Yuanqiao] that was close to Dai C's route was almost destroyed, and the other fairy ships were also affected to varying degrees. Almost everyone knew that a huge storm was coming.

And this day is not far away.

The moment a visual-flesh aggregate as huge as a planet appeared on the route of the Immortal Boat Alliance, the visual-flesh war broke out completely.

The aggregate of visual flesh was like a mother body, it directly controlled the visual flesh protozoa lurking on all the immortal ships, and the most seriously ill immortal ship [Dai C] was in complete chaos. Explosions continued, houses collapsed, and caves collapsed. More than 50% of the residents on the ship were infected with visual flesh. The survivors fled helplessly. Although under Yuqing's organization, shelters and several fronts were quickly established, they still could not change the reality of the end of the world.

There were three major defense lines in total. The first one was breached by the tsunami-like visual flesh in less than a month, and the second one fell completely soon after. Now only the last line of defense is left.

"These things! There's no way we can kill them all!"

At the third line of defense, hundreds of black-armored soldiers were fighting with monsters infected by visual flesh. The sound of hacking and killing continued, and Xing was among them.

"Rules are made to be broken!"

After killing countless visual flesh monsters, Xing was almost exhausted. Just when she was distracted, a distorted visual flesh protozoan pounced towards her!

“Swish!”

The sword flashed, and the visual protozoan was instantly cut into ashes. Xing, who survived the disaster, looked back in surprise and saw Yuqing arriving at the battlefield.

A voice told Xing that as long as Yuqing was there, there would be no need to worry about any accidents.

But Yuqing's exhausted eyes made Xing's heart skip a beat for some unknown reason.

"Xing..." Yuqing controlled the sword energy to strangle the visual flesh everywhere on the battlefield, while resisting the visual flesh around him, and said to Xing, "You go."

"Walk?"

Yuqing’s words made Xing stunned for a moment.

What does "leave" mean? To take refuge in a shelter? Or to evacuate Xianzhou Dai C?

"No! Sister Yuqing, no matter what, I am also a member of the Black Armor Army. I can't escape from the battlefield..."

"【listen to me】."

As soon as the three words came out, Xing felt like something was blocking his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

"Dai C... is finished."

"In other words, the Xianzhou Alliance is almost finished."

"Within a month, the two defense lines of Dai C were breached by the enemy, and less than one tenth of the Xuanjia Army has been killed. It's not just Dai C... Yuanqiao is also in such a miserable state. It's only a matter of time before the other immortal boats fall. If this continues, the Immortal Boat Alliance will have only one ending." Yuqing did not stop killing the enemy. Her voice sounded extremely tired. The last words she said were full of despair. "Due to the morale of the army, we have not told the civilians and the soldiers..."

"Three days ago, Dai C's core power reactor was destroyed by the Vision Meat."

As soon as these words came out, Xing's brain went blank.

The core power reactor is not only the power for Dai C's navigation, it also maintains almost all the energy needs on Dai C - electricity, artificial ecology, artificial satellites, artificial suns... and the atmosphere.

"Now Dai C is only relying on the last backup resources to maintain its life resources, but it is estimated that it can only last for half a month at most." Yuqing stopped narrating here. She turned her head and looked at Xing's face calmly, "I think Dai C is finished anyway. If it continues like this, the alliance will also be finished. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to find a way out for the alliance."

"You...what do you mean?"
