"Ah Yi...... Ah Yi? Are you listening?'

A soft call seemed to come from afar.

Who is it......

『…… Your face doesn't seem to be good, are you not feeling well?'

…… Talking to me?

A warm touch came from his forehead, and the chaotic vision gradually became clear, as if he had woken up from a dream. And where the line of sight converges, there are a pair of eyes that are gentle like water.

"It's okay...... I don't think I have a fever......

The beautiful woman in front of her, with skin as white as snow and black hair and black eyes, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension in her pupils eased slightly.

Familiar tone, familiar appearance, but I can't recall the other party's name, but my stunned appearance seems to arouse the other party's concern even more.

『…… Ah Yi, I know you're worried about Xiao Yue, but no matter how you say it, he's grown up, and many times it's inevitable that he will have his own opinions, so don't be too entangled......

You are...... Who......?

As soon as the question came out of my heart, I was overshadowed by another thought, as if it were taken for granted.

Yes...... She...... She's my most beloved person...... Strange, how could I have such doubts?

A faint sense of incongruity was pressed to the bottom of my heart, and my eyes were once again focused on the woman's gentle pupils.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired......

The habitual words of comfort blurted out, and the palm of his hand habitually brushed the woman's long black hair, and rubbed it lovingly.

"That'...... That's good.'" A hint of shyness crossed the woman's face, and she looked away. "We're about to start an operation, and if even you, the backbone, fall down at this time, then what will we do?"

"Don't worry, we've prepared a lot this time, and I'm sure we can catch them all."

Wait, "devouring"??

A strange feeling suddenly burst out in my heart, but it was buried by a "natural" emotion, and the connected words were not affected in the slightest.

"You're tired these days, go back and rest, you have to be mentally healthy on the eve of the decisive battle."

"That'...... What about you?' The woman hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

"I need to do some final preparations...... You go back first.'"

"Oh...... Okay......

The long eyelashes drooped, and the faint disappointment on her face made the woman's expression more and more touching, and people couldn't take their eyes off it. The woman seemed to be aware of the gaze from the other side, and her fair face couldn't help but burst into flames, and she quickly turned her back.

"Then I—I'll go back and rest first, and don't be too late......

The woman said, seeing that she was about to leave, and at this time she seemed to remember something important in her heart, and she wanted to open her mouth but couldn't say it, so she could only watch the woman's shadow drift away.

"Ah...... I still haven't sent it out......

With a soft sigh, his gaze shifted to the delicate little box that had just been taken out of his pocket.

In the center of the box, there is a delicate platinum ring, which looks like a brilliant Milky Way under the paving of broken diamonds.

"Forget it, after this mission, let's find another time to send it." Anyway, there's one more thing that's quite troublesome......

There was a vague sense of unease in my heart.

Habitually, he reached out again and subconsciously touched something hanging around his neck. I saw that on the leather rope around my neck, there was a blood-red gem that was emitting a strange multicolored light.

"That thing has to be investigated, I hope this time...... Just don't use it anymore......

……

Bloodkeystone......

“…… Bloodkeystone...... Don't use ...... anymore"

Ye Yu muttered in a low voice and slowly opened his eyes.

There was no beautiful young woman in front of him, and only the girl who was as delicate and unreal as a doll was by his side.

"Director An......" After being silent for a long time, Ye Yu finally came back to his senses from the trance of the dream, and moved his lips slightly, but he felt that his throat was as uncomfortable as fire.

"Hmm...... So thirsty......"

An Yu stood up and poured a glass of warm water, then gently helped Ye Yu up and fed him carefully.

With the moisture of the water, the discomfort in Ye Yu's throat immediately improved a lot. He sat up from the bed, took a few sips of the cup, and finally recovered.

Ye Yu put down the teacup and unconsciously swept his gaze towards An Xi, and suddenly found that something seemed to be shining a little bit of light between An Xi's neck.

I saw a delicate platinum ring covered with broken diamonds being strung by a chain, and it was hung by An Xi's body.

This thing...... Seems to be ......?

"Are you better?" An Xi's words pulled Ye Yu back from his distraction.

"Oh, good...... It's a little better. Ye Yu hurriedly looked away. I ...... before What's wrong? I seem to remember that I passed out again......"

"It may be prostration caused by overuse of the brain." An Xi said calmly, but there seemed to be shame in his eyes. "I didn't expect such a thing to happen this time, I didn't think about it, I'm sorry."

"Don't say that...... Maybe it's because I'm not very good at using the Blood Keystone......" Ye Yu hurriedly waved his hand, and suddenly thought of something important. "That's right! Lin Yutang...... Lin Yutang, how is she now?? ”

Ye Yu looked at An Yu nervously, completely unsure of what he had done in Lin Yutang's brain before.

"Lin Yutang, she's already awake." An Yu looked at Ye Yu and said slowly. "The good news is that the memories of Yuan Ling in her brain seem to have disappeared, and even the memories of the subsequent series of behaviors that were controlled by Yuan Ling's consciousness are also missing."

"Ah...... That's great! I'm worried that I haven't cleaned it up. When Ye Yu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he realized the meaning of An Xi's words, so his heart hung up again.

"That'...... The bad news? ”

"The bad news is that part of her ontological memory has been lost, and although I don't know if there is any possibility of recovery in the future, it is conceivable that this catastrophe will have an impact on her ontological personality." An Xi sighed softly. "It's just...... I don't know if this effect is good or bad for her. ”

Is that so...... But there is no way, after all, Lin Yutang's ontological memory has been swallowed up a lot by Yuan Ling's memory, and these devoured memories have dissipated along with Yuan Ling's memory, not to mention......

Ye Yu thought of the piece of Lin Yutang's "ontological memory" that he had deliberately destroyed, and although he was not sure if there would be any collateral consequences if he did so, Ye Yu did not regret his excessive move for this memory that transmitted such a huge amount of negative energy.

It's just that...... What happened to the subsequent series of 'mutations'?

Ye Yu remembered the strange phenomenon he encountered when he was about to withdraw from Lin Yutang's memory world, many memories were automatically ingested into his brain, and then he saw the blood-colored world like hell.

That piece of "hell" should not belong to Lin Yutang's memory, and the exotic woman he saw last...... But why do I see these things?

Thinking of the immersive thrilling scene, Ye Yu couldn't help but feel chills in his heart again, so he quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, is Lin Yutang still being held in the detention center?"

"Nope." An Xi shook her head. "She has been transferred to the rehabilitation center I arranged for recuperation and is now working with her parents to recover."

"Her parents?! Her parents reappeared?? Ye Yu was a little surprised. Did you find them? ”

"Yes, they were imprisoned and dying in an underground rental house in the province, but luckily we arrived in time to rescue them." An Xi continued.

"As you have speculated earlier, her parents knew that Lin Yutang was still alive and noticed that her personality seemed to have changed, but they didn't know that Yuan Ling's personality was implanted in their daughter's body. Lin Yutang, who was controlled by Yuan Ling, threatened them to cooperate with the 'jumping performance' with death, and they could only choose to cooperate because they loved their daughters. ”

"That'...... What about the corpse that replaced Lin Yutang? ”

"They don't know about that, in fact, all they were told was about 'impersonating corpses', and nothing else. Since the body had been cremated, it was very difficult to find the true identity of the body. ”

"I didn't see any clues about the identity of this corpse in the memory of Yuan Ling who was implanted, I'm afraid it was a good thing done by other 'devouring' accomplices." Ye Yu gritted his teeth and said. "Is there another murder in the hands of 'devouring'...... Hateful! ”

"To solve the evil under this series of murders, we can only find out the way of 'devouring' as soon as possible, and the only clue at present is the 'erased two hours' that you read in Lin Yutang's memory." An Yu said, looking at Ye Yu.

"I did find the accomplice of 'Devouring' in that memory, but I only heard a voice, it was a man's ...... As for the person's appearance, I have no clue at all. ”

Ye Yu said in annoyance, then raised his head and added. "But if I hear it again, I'll recognize it!"

"So far...... That's all it can be, 'devouring' is really thoughtful......" An Xi whispered. "In addition, Lin Yutang's side will also send someone to take care of her 24 hours a day, as an experiment for 'devouring', I am worried that 'devouring' will not give up on her."

"If you arrange it, then I'll let it go...... Not!! ”

Halfway through his words, Ye Yu's vision suddenly blurred for a moment, and the unbearable swelling pain in the depths of his head was faintly attacking, and at the same time, some memories that did not belong to him began to emerge automatically from his mind, like a movie picture.

These...... These are ......!!

Ye Yu was shocked in his heart, and the doubts that he had deliberately not thought about before began to emerge one after another, becoming out of control.

"You said before that I, as the Expulsor, am immune to the side effects of the Bloodkeystone...... Is this really true? ”

Ye Yu looked at An Xi, who was expressionless, and recalled all the things he had encountered in the process of searching Lin Yutang's brain before, and his heart gradually sank.

"Are you...... What's hidden from me? (To be continued.) )
