Kiri's mind is a mess. Or rather, she wasn't sure if the brain still belonged to her. It's a very weird feeling, if you have to say it, it's like you're in a dream, you can see, you can hear, you can feel your body moving, but the only thing you can't do is control your actions. Qili now felt like she was in a dream, a long dream that was hard to wake up from. Interestingly, people say that they wake up from dreams when they realize they are dreaming. So the only conclusion Kiri can draw is that she is not dreaming.

Not dreaming, but what's going on?, at one point, Kiri thought she had been under the influence of the magic in Kuira's treasury and had seen a lot of hallucinations. Illusion-creating magic does not leave room for calm thinking for those affected. They tend to evoke the emotions of the affected person first, and then push these emotions to the highest point with continuous falsehood. But this was not the case with Qili, who witnessed everything in front of her, which she had never experienced before, and which could not arouse her emotions. Even, the witch at this time is emotionally calmer than usual. Because her current state is difficult to produce emotions such as joy, anger and sorrow, she seems to have become a simple bystander, who can only watch indifferently from a distant place.

And despite losing control over her body and the ability to generate emotions, Kiri can still sense that her consciousness is changing. She noticed the change when she was stopped by Hela in the hallway, and at that time Kiri naturally wanted to recall the memories of Hela, but she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something more in her memory than she had known. She had only heard about Hela's birth from the elders, but now she was sure she had witnessed a baby girl being lifted out of her coffin in a rainstorm.

It wasn't her memory, but whose memory was it, and why did it end up in her head? For the first time in her life, the witch tried to sort through all her memories and find more clues in them. This work is quite difficult, memorization, which is not a book placed in the library, has to be categorized and sorted. Those memories that have passed for a while, they are more like they exist in the human brain in a disordered and scattered way. When some conditions are met, these memories will naturally emerge, but more often than not, people are unable to organize their memories. Faced with this situation, Qili adopted the simplest method, she allowed herself to be a baby again.

This is not to say that the witch has given up all her knowledge so far and turned herself back into a blank slate, which is undoubtedly tantamount to suicide. The so-called being a baby refers to Qili starting to think about the meaning of everything she sees and hears again. For example, she recalls the language, the first words she remembered, the first hilarious accent she heard, and the impressive sentences and the scenes that corresponded to those sentences. By analogy, she is using this method to retrace her own memories, constantly branching like a big tree, spreading her thoughts as much as possible into the vast memory.

It's no wonder that this doesn't work well at first, and it's no wonder that memories from scratch are blurry for most people. But gradually, as more and more associations and divergences, Qili began to realize the changes that were taking place in her mind. At the same time, she also noticed that this change was not completed, it was still changing, and every moment, some memories that did not belong to her were mixed into her memory. And the most terrifying thing is that these memories have clear characteristics at the beginning, and Qili can easily distinguish them. And after a period of time, they become entangled with Qili's own memories, and the line between the two becomes ambiguous, and it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish. Some memories are even distorted based on their original memories, distorting two otherwise unrelated things into one thing.

Now Kiri understands that she is suffering from an invasion. An unprecedented invasion. Memory is the foundation of a person. Although this is not all true, if a person loses all his memories, then I am afraid that this person is no longer the same person as before. Because all the logic of man's actions, hobbies, and ways of behaving are the result of being governed by his own memory. Those who have amnesia but still retain their personality have incomplete amnesia, in other words, their memories are just unreadable, but their bodies and subconscious still remember everything that the body has experienced. But what if it's complete amnesia, that kind of amnesia that seems to have been partially removed from the trajectory of your life.

This has happened to the residents of Sweetwater in Greylion. It's a pity that Qili didn't know about it. But even if she knew, it would be useless, because she would face a situation worse than a complete loss of memory. Her memories are being tampered with. And as her memories are tampered with, her personality, way of thinking, and even more things are changing, and the terrible thing is that Qili herself can't detect them. This kind of alteration is much more lethal than simply modifying or inserting a few memories that are innocuous to the person concerned, and it is completely changing the witch into another person, into another consciousness. Even if this consciousness is not the same as the previous Kouira, the last person left behind will not be Kiri.

Fortunately, the process is relatively slow, and so far, Qili can still clearly remember her name and background, and all she feels is the memory of some details. But in the memory of these details, she discovers many facts that are nothing to Kouira, but very shocking to Kiri. These memories, combined with the current situation, made Qili irrepressibly have a terrifying speculation about the great witch's next intentions. And as if to confirm her speculation, Qili's body happened to come to the underground of the house at this time, that is, the dark room where the Neptune's eggs were kept. Through her own eyes, she saw that in the stone room, where there was no light source, a huge oval egg emitted a natural orange light, and in this egg was a black shadow about three meters in size curled together.

Kiri's body seemed to say something, but Kiri's consciousness didn't know who she was talking to. She only saw that her body seemed to check the state of the egg, and she crouched down and reached out to touch the giant egg. At that moment, a shocking sound came from the bottom of the room. "Boom!" The voice didn't come from the giant egg, there's no doubt about it. So, where did it come from, and who did it? Almost at the same time, everyone in the whole of Heartless Bay was thinking about it.

As if in response to their thoughts and to tell them that the loud noise just now was not an illusion, another loud bang came from the ground again, "Bang!" This time, it was louder, so loud that everyone involuntarily fell to the ground, clutching their chests with painful expressions. Then, there was a third loud bang, "Boom!" After three loud bangs, the entire Heartless Bay fell silent, and everyone held their breath and gathered all their strength in their chests, ready for the fourth impact. But the fourth shock has not come for a long time.

"It's now!" Hela's voice came from the back of Kiri's head, and this time, she heard it well. Then, a black shadow shifted from above her gaze to the bottom at a rapid pace, what appeared to be a rope or something. Then, Qili only felt her neck tighten, and a pain that pierced her bone marrow swept through her every nerve. Before she could lose consciousness, she heard herself say something.

"Damn, why is it again, like this..."
