The sun shone through the cracks in the curtains, casting a dark shadow on the female ranger's face. Servais's long eyelashes fluttered, she stood up neatly and yawned widely.
"Hmm~~~" The female ranger stretched out and took a sideways look and found that she had changed into a hospital gown. She tugged on her collar: "Hey, where are my clothes? Who changed them for me?"
"I fainted a long time ago. Ling helped you change it." Gongsun Ce walked into the ward and threw her an apple. The female ranger happily gnawed on the fruit without even bothering to peel it.
"How much does this medical fee cost per night?"
"I've got it all covered. How can I get you some money if I ask you to go on a mission?" Gongsun Ce waved his hand, "You haven't lost your memory, right? Do you remember how you did it?"
"I was involved in a house collapse accident, right?" Servais scratched her head, "I remember you felt like you were exhausted at the time. After the war, we rushed to meet up. There was a street light that was still on... and then the building next to us collapsed. ! Sorry, the quality of the buildings in Sound Curtain City or a metropolis is so poor. The Kalash family may have been greedy!"
The female ranger gritted her teeth mid-sentence, wishing she could kill the general on the spot and go out to rob the rich and give to the poor. Jago just walked into the room and said helplessly after hearing this: "The main business of the Kalash family is media, not construction..."
Servais grinned: "What do you know, kid? Have you never heard of a first-class company selling a building?"
"I'm a member of the family after all. You know more about business than me, right?" Jago put down a lunch box on the bedside table. "Meal for sick patients. Let's recover and rest before we talk."
Servais opened the lunch box and looked at it, her face turned green: "Green peppers, cabbage, beans, string lettuce, tofu...are you trying to force me to death? I want to eat honey barbecue!"
Gongsun Ce Jiejie smiled strangely: "Just keep eating light food, I'm a sick woman, and wait until you are discharged from the hospital before eating meat."
The two walked out of the ward amidst the ranger's loud protest. They went upstairs to the rooftop, their expressions gradually becoming serious.
"She changed her memory." Gongsun Ce said.
"I have encountered similar things before. That time I tried to make her realize the passage of time. She was very resistant and painful, and then fell into a coma. After waking up, Servais didn't remember anything. She thought that we There was a car accident." Jago shook his head, "The memory modification method was too rough, like some kind of emergency measure. How could someone like her be afraid of a car accident?"
They are well aware of Servais's skills. This female ranger can defeat Qin Qianbai in just two moves with her Heaven Returning Technique. Such a person would not be able to scratch her skin even if she encountered a group of armored vehicles in a car accident. There was no way she could be injured due to an "accident". But she ignored all these unreasonable things, as if it was all for granted, just like a person telling herself over and over again in the mirror that there is nothing wrong with her and everything is normal.
"What did she summon that time?"
Jago said nothing. Gongsun Ce seemed not to notice his distressed expression and continued: "I think Mr. Jago should know something. You have known her for more than 20 years. It is impossible for you to have done nothing."
"I don't know much." The old man said dullly after a long time, "Let's wait until we get to the Firewind State. That is the headquarters of the church. Your friends need a safe place to repair, and I can easily come to you... …explain the inside story.”
"Thank you."
"I will thank you only if you don't force me."
Jago left alone, and Gongsun Ce leaned on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the city that was waiting to be rebuilt under the clear sky. There were scattered voices singing along the road, and mobile police units were checking permits back and forth.
After the night of the concert, the rate of out-of-control real sounds in the Real Sound State was greatly reduced, and it is expected to return to its original level within two weeks. In the past, many local people believed that their singing voices had no meaning and that the State of Real Sound only needed an idol. But now everyone has the courage to sing, and the problems caused by cognitive changes have been solved.
But without the intervention of external forces, the vicious cycle of cognition and environment will continue. Gongsun Ce doesn't know how many similar problems occur in this land, and he doesn't have time to travel around the entire 51 states. He is bound to find the key point of this mechanism...the civilized front...
"Coffee?"
A can of black coffee was handed from behind, and the woman's slender hands were painted with black nail polish. Gongsun Ce turned around and took the coffee, poured it down limply, and slumped on her shoulder: "Sister Mafan, you are so considerate."
"Straighten your waist, don't look soft." Maho reached out and poked his waist, "The analysis report is out. The ranger is in good health, and the problem lies in other aspects."
Gongsun Ce took a sip of coffee and frowned because of the bitterness: "Did I guess it right?"
"My perception is exactly the same as when I examined Qiluo. She is an information life form."
Gongsun Ce had this guess when he heard Jin Kalash's description. A ghost-like human being can be remembered by a few people but leaves no records. This sounds like another Qiluo, using his ability to interfere with the cognition of the people around him. The phenomenon of Angel being forgotten last night further confirmed this speculation. People who participated in the meeting remembered Angel probably because of Qiluo's "firewall" protection. Now that the doctor has confirmed his suspicion, there are more and more mysteries to be revealed.
"It seems that Jago Drusus doesn't intend to tell the truth." Maho said, "Are you planning to deceive him?"
"It's not necessary. Although Mr. Jago is worried, he is very upright. If he wanted to betray, he would have already missed the critical opportunity." Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Besides, don't we know another head of the Siyuan family?"
Two minutes later, Onowell Slock, who was far away in the Sky Capital, received a communication from a foreign country. The old principal was eating a burger when he answered the phone, his face stained with sauce.
"We just finished our meeting! Don't tell me there's another emergency."
"It's okay, Principal, please eat slowly. Strictly speaking, this time is not business but gossip." Gongsun Ce said, "Have you ever heard of the urban legend of the 'Mysterious Female Ranger'?"
Onoville finished eating the burger and listened to the instructions. He crumpled the wrapping paper into a ball and looked like he was thinking hard.
"There are indeed similar records in the family scrolls...but it's not a ranger, it's a nun. The record about her is not about 'helping others', but a sensational disaster."
"disaster?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Have you ever heard of the Marcius family?"
"That downtrodden Siyuan family?" Gongsun Ce scratched his chin, "I checked the identity of the terrifying demon after the incident in Blade Rain State, and he seems to be from the Marcius family. Mr. Jago is there They showed the 'Holy Judgment' at that time, and I guess the Saint deprived them of their totem."
"That's right. Marcius is the instigator of the 'Sage's Dinner', the wealthy family who was sanctioned by the Saint." Onoville smiled and gloated, "You know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Marcius Si was in despair after losing the totem, but it did not immediately weaken into a small and unknown force. They still had connections, resources, and force, and were secretly preparing for a comeback.
But this is not easy. After the age of saints, the church has mastered a large number of totems. The few ownerless totems are either weak or too strong to be approached. At this time, a good opportunity appeared in front of the Marcius family. A nun who 'triggered miracles' appeared in their territory. It is said that this nun is beautiful and upright, and can mobilize the power of the environment to solve people's problems. Even if she appears as an envoy, she cannot compete with her power. "
Gongsun Ce's mouth twitched: "...have they taken action?"
"I guess the head of the family thought it was a totem from a certain place that had become a spirit." Onowell shrugged, "But no matter what, they took action. No one knows what specific means they used - the relevant records are as vague as a pot of porridge. ——We only know the final outcome. The transferred headquarters of the Marcius family was razed to the ground, and the beautiful nun disappeared after that. What’s amazing is that no matter how hard the bystanders or witnesses tried, they couldn’t use it. Record that event with even one word.”
Gongsun Ce and Zhenfan were speechless. The old principal added: "This incident has been called an 'invisible disaster' by all the major families. From then on, every family has an old saying, don't mess with beautiful blond women."
"I said, principal, why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"
"I can't do it!" Onoville couldn't laugh or cry, "I said it 'cannot be recorded'. My parents turned over ancient parchment and told me in code words and obscure metaphors, but I turned around and Forgot. Do you understand? If you hadn’t explained it in such detail, I wouldn’t have been able to remember this ancient saying. And I don’t think it will take long... maybe ten days and a half months... to forget it again. ”
Gongsun Ce was deeply shocked: "Thank you for your cooperation."
"It's okay. Is she really as beautiful as the records say?" the old principal said with great interest.
"The record is true, she has a great figure."
Onoville was busy with work, so he didn't have much time to chat before he hung up the phone. Before Gongsun Ce could ask questions, Qiluo took the initiative to get out of the screen.
"I can't do it." Qiluo shook her head repeatedly, "I can just use invisibility so that everyone can't see me, but it will be too difficult to leave no records... That means that Servais not only has to affect those who have come into contact with her people, but also indirectly affect the descendants of those people. Even with the use of modern communication networks, this is an almost impossible task."
As Qiluo said, this is beyond the capabilities of an information life form. It sounds like a mysterious god who has hidden himself in the mists of history, and anyone who wants to mention him will unconsciously forget it. Situ Yi's Chaos Theater might be able to achieve a similar effect, but that bastard wasn't even born hundreds of years ago... Secret...
Secret law?
Gongsun Ce suddenly remembered this word, Servais's exclamation before losing control, that was also the world-creating method of Lord Yinlu. The invisible Creation Envoy is now undoubtedly an information life form, and his "mimic Creation" that does not belong to the seven phases is even more suspicious. If there is a connection between the two people...then the Lord of the Hidden Law is also an immortal who has lived for an unknown number of years? Did he live so long that he forgot his own name?
Gongsun Ce shuddered, and this suspicion made him feel cold. He rubbed Qiluo's face through the screen: "Compared to your kind, you are really a good and harmless child."
Qiluo shrank into a ball on the screen: "I am a non-combatant~~"
"You can go to the battlefield now, right?" Gongsun Ce smiled and asked, "How is the record progress of our state's totems?"
"Yun Yinglang and I are trying. We'll be ready in a few minutes."
Jin Kalash disappeared after the melee in Sound Curtain City. Everyone found a business card in his office, which recorded the method of summoning the image hidden by Sound Cheetah. There is also a line of elegant imperial characters written under the business card, which reads "Business cannot be done without justice".
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but sigh that people become better with age. Even if Jin fled to Gaius's side, he wouldn't have much ill feelings toward him. The old family leader exchanged a piece of sold information for the survival of the family. This was a no-loss deal for him.
Gongsun Ce drank the coffee in one gulp. He flattened the can and threw it into the trash can.
"Let's go down and have a look."
·
"Ah~ah~~ah~~~"
"If the tone is higher, this level is not enough!" Qiluo took the lead in demonstrating, "Come and learn my moves, ah~~"
Yun Yinglang took a deep breath, held her head high and sang a high note: "Ah~~~~Have you ever seen someone with a high voice?"
"I won't disturb you and continue."
Gongsun Ce whistled as soon as he entered the door. It was very eye-catching for two girls with very good figures to sit together and sing high notes, not to mention one of them was wearing a light maid outfit. Zhenfan pinched his waist from behind, and Gongsun Ce quickly shut up and acted serious.
The layout of this room reminded him of a KTV box. There were large and small holes on the four walls, and the sound continued to reflect and echo in the room, making it feel empty. The totem of the Real Sound State, the Sound Cheetah, was squatting in the middle of the room, covering his eyes with his paws and looking unbearably. It was obvious that he was greatly disturbed by Yun Yinglang's singing. Four purple kittens with shiny fur were lying in the four corners of the room, each one using "meow" to accompany Yun Yinglang. Their voices were reflected in the room as a purple cloud, with vague human figures moving in it.
The plan left by Jin Kalash was a special song. This song was supposed to be played by a cheetah and adjusted with special equipment to express intelligence. But now Yun Yinglang is keeping everything simple: Qiluo herself analyzed the score, Yun Yinglang can achieve almost the same effect by singing it once.
"Ah~ah~ It's so annoying! No matter what, let's try singing first!"
Yun Yinglang lost her patience after practicing. She was so angry that she stamped her feet on the ground, broke the jar and started singing. The other three people immediately covered their ears, and the wild singing voice echoed in the room. The out-of-tune soprano made Yin Cheetah roll on the ground in anger. But perhaps because the power of Shiyin really gave Yun Yinglang face, this time the figure in the purple cloud became clearer. The blurry shadow trembled and made a voice that could not distinguish between male and female:
"Can you record it? Little cat, please raise your head. I can't record it if you lie down."
The sound cheetah jumped up in excitement, opened its mouth to the mist and let out an electronically synthesized cry. Then the figures in the clouds and mist suddenly became clear. The man was wearing a white trench coat, holding a gun in one hand and an ax in the other, with a big smile on his face. He was almost exactly the same as the projection of the saint summoned by the shadow in the Charm Mist State. But this time the image was clearer, allowing Gongsun Ce to see more details.
The saint in the mist has beautiful blond hair, and when he grins, he reveals a pair of shining shark teeth.
