Chapter 35: Collective Amnesia
When the three of them returned to West Street, it was already late at night.
"Master, is this time considered a scareless snake?"
"It's not just snakes, it is estimated that the snake's nest has been dragged away by snakes." Lu Yao said on the side.
"No, although there is a big commotion, I don't think they will change places easily."
"Isn't this changing? Isn't he afraid that we're going to do something behind our backs? ”
"You don't know, the demon is restricted everywhere in the Six Realms, and there is no place for him to stand."
"And this bat demon's reputation in the spirit world is even more stinky, one has not yet become a climate, and the other is just a street rat, they can't find other places to settle down so easily."
"We're going to find those girls tomorrow and report them to the police station to report that they're imprisoned, abused, abducted, and trafficked! Let the police confiscate them, and the rest can also be rescued. ”
"Eh, that's okay, those girls can testify."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Su Eryi shook his head.
"How?"
"These sacrifices were rescued very lightly, which is not like their style of doing things."
"So?"
"So, presumably they didn't pay much attention to this matter, so they didn't take precautions."
"yes, there's not even a guard in the place where those girls are kept." Su Qiqi frowned.
"And what about the rest of the girls?"
"If you don't believe me, go find these girls tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lu Yao sighed, "Always give it a try, what if it's feasible?" ”
"Go, go, I'm going to rest, you guys go to bed early." Su Eryi waved his hand and walked into the house.
"Lu Yao, you sleep in my house today, and I will build a bunk in the yard." Su Qiqi said.
"No need, you can sleep, I won't be sleepy anyway, I'll sleep in the yard."
"How's that going to work? You just complimented me on my gentlemanly demeanor today. ”
"Otherwise, let's spread some mats in the courtyard and enjoy the moon together, how round is the moon tonight?"
"Whatever."
After a while, Su Qiqi took out two mats and spread them in the courtyard.
"I took out my master's mat, and he's still scolding me there."
"Isn't that right?" Lu Yao looked up at the moon and didn't look at him.
"It's okay, he's not hot at all, and the body of a cultivator is not so sensitive to heat and cold for a long time."
"Let's go to the amusement park tomorrow after we go to those girls, shall we?" Su Qiqi asked.
"No, it's not a child."
"Well, I used to envy the kids who could go to the amusement park, I remember when I was 9 years old, my mother and I went to the city to visit relatives, and there was a playground near the family."
"Don't be jealous when I lie on the wall and watch them play! Later, after being taken in by the master, I kept running around with him, and I didn't have time to think about that. ”
"Go, go, go and return your childhood dream, okay?" Lu Yao smiled and shook her head, "Don't play the bitter card for me here." ”
"Cut, who played the bitter card? Isn't that the case with all TV shows now? It's okay to make a sad speech, personal experience, miserable life experience.
Oops, the judges at the bottom are crying like dead mothers, and the high scores will give you a rise. ”
"No wonder your master always scolds you, why don't you study the magic when you have time, what kind of mess do you see?"
"This is called life, and being born is not only to live, but also to enjoy the process of life, to understand the meaning of life, and to create the value of life, isn't it?"
"Your poor slum is not as poor as you."
"Thanks for the compliment, I will keep up the good work!"
"Get out of here, go to sleep!"
"You said you're a girl, no, even if you're a female ghost, you shouldn't have such a hot temper, right?"
"What's in your way?"
"That's not it, I just like your popularity."
"I'm sleepy, shut up."
"Eh, did you just say you didn't know about sleepiness?"
"Now I know."
“.”
"Okay, good night." Su Qiqi was stunned, and finally closed his mouth obediently.
The next day, the sun had been hanging in the sky for a few hours, and Su Qiqi was still sleeping in the courtyard.
"Look at the good disciples you taught." Lu Yao stood beside Su Eryi and said.
Seeing that his apprentice looked like pork sticking to the cutting board, Su Eryi shook his head helplessly.
"It's all my lack of discipline, alas!"
"I said Eryi, you should assign more homework to your apprentice in the future, so that he doesn't have time to spend any more time on idle talk.
It doesn't matter if you can do it or not, it doesn't matter if you can do it well, the important thing is to control his freedom so that he can no longer be unscrupulous! ”
"Don't you still want to work together to hunt ghosts?"
"I don't think he's reliable."
"Why is it unreliable, my apprentices will know a lot."
"Scud's kung fu is amazing!" Thinking of the wind on the soles of Su Qiqi's feet when he escaped, Lu Yao couldn't help but want to laugh.
As soon as I heard Lu Yao say this, Su Eryi's face obviously couldn't hold back, this kid really lost an adult to me!
"Get up! Get up! Still sleeping! Su Eryi rushed up with a stride and kicked Su Qiqi's ass.
"Oh, Master, what are you doing!" Su Qiqi and a spirit flipped up.
"Get up! What! It's three poles in the sun! Still sleeping like a pig! ”
"They slept late last night."
"Don't make excuses, get up and wash up and eat!"
"Oh!" Su Qiqi scratched his head depressedly and saw Lu Yao standing aside and snickering.
"Morning, Miss."
Lu Yao didn't answer, stared at his chicken nest head, and pulled the corners of his mouth.
After eating a meal that I don't know if it was morning or noon, Lu Yao and Su Qiqi left West Street to contact the girl they had saved last night.
"How can Master have their addresses?"
"A few of them were sent away by your master last night."
"Oh, it seems that Master has left a hand."
The two found the first one according to the address, and it took a long time to ring the doorbell before someone opened it.
The door was opened by a woman, with curly hair curlers larger than teddy hair, and her eyebrows and eyes slightly upturned, looking very tricky.
"Looking for whom?"
"I'm looking for your daughter."
"My daughter? What's your relationship? ”
"We, we have something important to look for her, has your daughter been missing for many days and just came home last night?"
"Huh? How do you know? ”
"We rescued her, and now I want to find her out about the situation."
"You saved her?.Okay, let's go in first!" The woman finally got out of the way.
"Mom, who's that?"
"Say it's your savior!"
"What? A lifesaver? The girl walked out of the room.
"It's the girl who pulled the bodyguard's hair with Lu Yao last night."
"Do you remember us?" Lu Yao walked over and asked.
"Who are you?" The girl looked wary, "I don't know you. ”
"Isn't it, you have such a bad memory at this young age? We rescued you at the bar last night! Su Qiqi said with some excitement.
"Bars? What bar? I don't know what you're talking about! ”
"What's going on?" The girl's mother was also very puzzled, "What bar?" Didn't you come back from a friend's house? ”
"Friend's house?" Lu Yao and Su Qiqi asked in unison.
"Mom, I really don't know them!"
"Auntie, hasn't your daughter been missing for many days?" Lu Yao suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Yes, but when she came back last night, she said that she was out of love, and she borrowed it at a friend's house, and we also called to ask, and it was true."
"What? What's going on? ”
"Who the hell are you? What is the purpose of coming to my house? The girl asked, "Are you liars?" Come to my house to cheat money! ”
"Hey, what a liar, are you reasonable, why are you talking so ugly!" Su Qiqi was about to get angry.
"Get out of here, or I'll call the police! Let the police arrest you guys! Get out of here! The girl's emotions suddenly became extremely excited, "I don't want to see you!" ”
"Okay, let's go!" Lu Yao saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly pulled Su Qiqi away.
"What is this! This is called revenge! What does she mean her! ”
"Could it be that you don't want your family to worry? Or do you want to hide that she went to a bar? Lu Yao said, "Otherwise, there is no reason to deny what happened last night?" ”
"I don't know! Even if she was, then she was too unprincipled, right? We did our best to get them out! ”
"Forget it, it's come to this, I can only go to the next one first!"
Half an hour later, the two followed the address to find the next one.
The person who opened the door was the one who had entered the room last night and explained to them how many girls there were.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" The woman asked as she blocked the doorway.
"We're looking for you!"
"Looking for me?"
"Don't you know us?"
"Should I know you?" The girl's face was full of questions and did not look like a lie.
"Think about it, we rescued you at the bar last night, and you forgot?"
"Bars? Are you kidding? I just came home last night from visiting relatives in Malaysia and arrived home in the middle of the night. ”
"Malaysia?"
"yes, I still have the ticket."
"This. What's going on? "Su Qiqi stumbled.
Looking at the woman's inexplicable look, it doesn't look like she's lying.
"Sorry excuse me, we recognized the wrong person." Lu Yao smiled helplessly.
"Neuropathy." The woman muttered discontentedly and slammed the door shut.
"What the hell is this? Mass amnesia? Su Qiqi suddenly felt that the world was spinning.
The two of them continued to look for 3 homes, and they were still in the same situation.
It's not that you are out of love and hide in a hotel, or you go to other places for travel and meetings.
"Are they trying to hide something?" Su Qiqi said: "I really don't understand you women! ”
"Put away your machismo, believe it or not I'm going to beat you up?"
"Don't, I just don't understand what these girls are doing!"
"Go back and ask your master, he must have noticed it all a long time ago!"
"Yes, let's go and go back and interrogate him."
The two hurried back to West Street, where Su Eryi was drinking himself in the courtyard.
"You're chic enough, and we've been running away for nothing."
Lu Yao sat next to him with a big grin.
Su Qiqi didn't dare, and stood behind the master with a cower.
"What? Bamboo basket for water? ”
"Didn't you already know?" Su Qiqi behind him opened his mouth, "I didn't tell us earlier, we hit the nail of the day today, and we all took us as liars." ”
"Yes, but how can you believe it if you don't let you touch the nails yourself? A lot of things are believing. ”
"Why do they have amnesia en masse? A complete negation of what happened last night? ”
"Probably that demon used soul snatching for them, and when he imprisoned them, he took away one soul and three souls, and after the incident in the east window, he put back one soul and three souls controlled by illusion.
In this way, their minds are implanted with false memories, and they naturally forget about it. ”
"But what do they say about the ID card and the ticket?"
"This demon's mind is really meticulous, and I'm afraid that the human certificate was also taken away in advance, the ticket, this is very simple, you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Nope!" Lu Yao shook her head, it was the woman herself who said it.
"I'm afraid it's not her name on that ticket, it's someone else's name, it's just her own name in her eyes, it's a hallucination after being killed by the soul-snatching operation."
"Then how should this be broken?"
"It can be broken, but it is useless to break it, but it will hurt the people who are controlled to a certain extent."
"How?"
"After the soul snatcher is broken, the person who is controlled will lose that part of the controlled memory, and will also lose the true memory."
"Isn't that memory blank?"
"Yes, and not only will you lose your memory, but you will also damage your brain, because of the effect of that blank memory, the person who is controlled will have more and more memory gaps after that."
"So ruthless! Isn't that the same as Alzheimer's? ”
"This is the difference between the right way and the evil way."
"I'm afraid this won't work, what should we do? There are four more in the bar! Lu Yao said.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, next month is the Ghost Month, and on Halloween, the bat spirit will definitely make a big move."
"I've inquired that they are closed on Halloween nights."
"Not open?"
"Yes, they're not open to the living."
"Oh? Is that to entertain those ghosts instead? Su Qiqi asked.
"Well, so, next time, Lu Yao can still mix in!"
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"It's okay, that demon didn't find Lu Yao's true body, so it's easy for her to blend in."
Lu Yao has something in her heart, but it's not easy to tell, she doesn't know how to tell her master and apprentice, she may know that demon, after all, it has a relationship with the Soul Gate, which is not a glorious thing.
"Okay, I'll go."
"The ghost wrench you wear belongs to my uncle, and it can touch entities."
"Yes."
"Oh, haven't you practiced some secret art for a long time, you can touch me because of the ghost wrench!" Su Qiqi shouted from the side.
"Go, give the teacher another pound of wine!"
"A pound? What are you doing here? ”
"Drink, and don't get drunk, what are you afraid of?"
"What are you drinking if you're not drunk? Waste of money. ”
"What did you say, little bunny?"
"Nothing, nothing, let's drink!" Su Qiqi hurriedly flew away and fled.
