"How did you know that Old Master Gu had the Forget-Me-Not Gu in his body?"
Wen Yaoxin didn't hide anything, and her gaze towards Zhong Yi was full of curiosity.
She gave a brief explanation.
This book is first published at w̆̈̆̈k̆̈̆̈̆̈ă̈̆̈n̆̈̆̈.c̆̈̆̈ŏ̈̆̈m̆̈̆̈ for easy reading, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.
Wen Yaoxin's grandfather, Wen Qingyun, was an old friend of Gu Yun's mother.
The Forget-Me-Not Gu in Gu Yun's body was Wen Qingyun's doing.
Not long ago, the head of the Wen family sensed that the Forget-Worry Gu was in poor condition and deduced that Gu Yun was seriously ill. Therefore, he took the initiative to send Wen Yaoxin to help the descendants of his old friend.
This also explains why Zhong Yi had been wondering why Gu Yun hadn't brought in a Gu doctor to treat Lin Xi.
"Forget-Me-Not Gu? What are its effects?"
Zhong Yi raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.
"Just like its name suggests, it can help people forget some past memories."
Wen Yaoxin answered truthfully.
"Is it just forgetting memories...?"
Zhong Yi frowned; this was much simpler than the Gu worms he had expected.
That explains why earlier memories are fragmented and incomplete;
But it still doesn't explain why Gu Yun seems to be playing someone else all along.
Is it possible for another person's soul to reside inside a human body?
"Immortal Master is joking... Such Gu worms only exist in legends."
Wen Yaoxin shook her head, rejecting Zhong Yi's idea.
"but......"
"If one uses someone's flesh or hair as a catalyst and guides it with witchcraft... it can indeed absorb some of that person's aura."
Wen Yao thought for a moment and then added.
"That's right!"
Zhong Yi nodded excitedly.
In this way, everything makes sense.
Now, all we need to do is restore Grandpa Gu's memories and [N O V E L I G H T] plant the seed of "going to the Moon Realm" in his earlier memories, and the mission will be completed.
"Is there any way to remove the Forget-Worry Gu from Old Master Gu's body?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Wen Yaoxin shook her head without hesitation.
"This soul-possessing gu has been with him for too many years and has long since become assimilated into his flesh and blood."
"Okay... thank you anyway, Dr. Wen."
Zhong Yi was not surprised by this answer. He smiled at Wen Yaoxin, then turned around and returned to the dream-making array.
"I've found the answer!"
...
...
"inference!"
"Gu Yun was poisoned with the Forget-Me-Not Gu by Wen Qingyun when she was young, causing her to lose all her memories before the age of 6... and also merge with some of Xiao Feng's memories!"
【Correct reasoning (4/4)】
【You have met the requirements. Would you like to start the next main quest?】
"Oh? So that means... there are definitely more than four pieces of evidence?"
Zhong Yi immediately became interested.
This was the first time he had encountered this kind of reasoning game, and he was still quite excited about it.
At this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of Gu Yun and Lin Xi, so naturally he was unwilling to give up.
"I refuse! Keep drawing your conclusions!"
【You have successfully completed 4 inferences. Would you like any hints?】
"need!"
Zhong Yi thought for a moment and realized that there wasn't much time left for this main quest, so he decided to check the system's prompts.
The next moment, his figure was transported to the world of his oldest memories.
That was the home of Gu Yun, who was about seven or eight years old.
"As expected... all the problems are related to his mother!"
Zhong Yi sighed.
The day Gu Yun and Lin Xi got married, and now, are the only two times Gu Yun's mother has appeared.
"Huh? This is the skull of an earth dragon? What's so strange about that?"
Zhong Yi looked at the system prompt with confusion.
The huge earthen skull displayed in the courtyard was gleaming.
He walked over and examined it closely. The light came from the three round holes below the tip of his nose.
"Where...is the problem?"
Zhong Yi scratched the back of his head, completely at a loss for words.
【Do you need a hint for the next clue?】
"need."
This time, the light came from inside the room.
Following the light, Gu Yun entered Gu Yun's bedroom.
The light emanating from it was Gu Yun's bed.
A bunk bed.
Zhong Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The sudden, profound realization sent chills down his spine!
The source of my long-standing doubts and sense of unreality has finally been found!
"I see...I see!"
Zhong Yi clapped his hands excitedly, his upturned lips trembling slightly.
"So, the truth is..."
At that moment, the task of deduction ended.
【Main quest updated:】
【Follow Qin Li'en to the sealed world of memories】
Qin Li'en's voice suddenly echoed in the dream world:
"Junior Brother Zhong, come quick!"
"I've found a way to enter that world of memories!"
...
...
"Is this method... really feasible?"
Zhong Yi pinched his nose and pointed suspiciously at the squirrel carcass Qin Li'en was holding.
This is a squirrel that the two accidentally trampled to death on their way here, due to the earth dragon going out of control. It was covered in a pungent, rotting smell.
"Do you remember? The smell of that memory space..."
Qin Li'en reminded him.
"Remember."
Zhong Yi nodded.
In that desolate space of memory, besides the dark fragments that seemed about to devour the two of them, there was only a pungent, putrid smell.
"Hmm...it really does look a bit like it?"
Zhong Yi sniffed and vaguely understood Qin Li'en's thoughts.
"You mean, use scent to make Gu Yun recall that memory?"
“That’s right! We’ll use magic to break the seal in the dream, while Dr. Wen will use scent to guide us from the outside... With this inside and outside cooperation, we’re 30% confident we can break the seal!”
Qin Li'en nodded.
This was the first solution she came up with after learning from Wen Yaoxin the reason for Gu Yun's amnesia.
"If it's to fulfill Grandpa Gu's wish... I'm willing to give it a try!"
Wen Yaoxin agreed with Qin Lien's approach.
She stretched out her hand and slowly opened her palm, revealing a small, bluish-green Gu worm in the center.
"This Gu worm can temporarily amplify Grandpa Gu's five senses, so you can proceed with it without worry!"
"good!"
Zhong Yi and Qin Li'en returned to the dream-making array, calmed their minds, and slowly lowered their consciousness.
In the brief darkness,
A line of text slowly appeared:
【Act III:】
【They let that light shine on other lighthouses, and on me too.】
Looking at this line of text, Zhong Yi still didn't have a clear understanding.
But he vaguely sensed that the lighthouse was definitely more than what he had seen before...
Something special must be happening.
must!
Thinking of this, Zhong Yi clenched his fists with excitement and anticipation.
He had a premonition.
It begins with unlocking this sealed memory.
"Go to the Moon Realm" will definitely be another masterpiece!
