Chapter 102: Doctored Memories

Gorman, who was still in a coma, lay on the hospital bed, his face calm, as if he would wake up in the next second.

Lu Jing took his eyes off him and turned to Jin Qidong, who was taking out a thick book from the wooden cabinet on the side of the basement.

"I've already told you my goal, bestiality!"

Handed the book directly into Lu Jing's hands, and while watching him open it, Jin Qidong began to talk about the events recorded in the book,

"About fifteen years ago, an island in the kingdom of Derumba disappeared without a trace, and the island's 300,000 inhabitants disappeared without a trace, until a merchant ship that had planned to resupply the island was confirmed that the news was reached to the government of Derumba and the Coalition Navy. ”

At this time, Lu Jing had just opened the first two pages of the classic, and there were many photos dipped in glue on them, including photos of islands and cities, as well as photos of the calm sea.

After the incident, the entire Derumba Kingdom was in an uproar, and the government not only organized a special expedition for this purpose, but even issued a nationwide reward for the investigation of the incident, some people said that the island was destroyed by a deep-sea beast, and some people said that it was an extremely powerful pirate who made the attack, but there was no trace of destruction at the scene that could support these speculations. ”

Behind the pages with photos were cut and pasted some large newspaper reports about the island's disappearance, and Lu Jing finally saw the name of the island: Yanan.

As the investigation deepened, some of the residents who had lived in Yanan were found, and when questioned about them, they invariably mentioned one word: blood spirits. ”

He took the initiative to reach out and flip the classics in Lu Jing's hand back to the part of the text description.

"They say that there are many people on the island of Yanan who believe in a sect called Sanctuary, and legend has it that the founder of this sect came from a lost world, and he found a way out of suffering, which is also known as the blood spirit. ”

Perhaps it was Lu Jing's previous discovery in the Lu Xinghua boat that stimulated Jin Qidong, and he began to take the initiative to mention some things, trying to build a bridge of trust between the two sides that could collapse at any time.

"The detailed process is meaningless to mention at this point, I just say the result...... Somehow, the Sanctuary used some missionary methods to turn a considerable part of the residents of Yanan Island into their followers, and injected nearly 20,000 people with blood spirits...... You should have seen the state of the bestiality patient when he attacked, and I can tell you responsibly that the symptoms of bestiality on Anling Island were mild at that time!"

"Wait, based on what you're revealing now, can I assume that you were also on Yanan Island at the time?"

If you only know the situation at that time from some information or other people's mouths, you will naturally not be able to talk about the word "responsible".

"Yes, I was on the island at the time, and I was involved in the final stages of the plague, and the outbreak of bestiality caused by the blood spirit made the island a living hell in just a few days. ”

Jin Qidong held a cup of hot water in his hand, and drank it in between words, Lu Jing noticed that the water surface in the cup kept trembling, and the amplitude was extremely large.

He was far from being as calm as he seemed.

"You survived, but Yanan Island disappeared, which means you left the island early...... Do you know that Yanan Island will be hit by some kind of devastating blow?"

Lu Jing glanced at Xu Chu and Fu Ju, who were silent, pursed their lips, and then said,

"Is it because someone doesn't want the disease to spread?"

"No, just the illness, it's not that serious, in fact, at that time, the Alliance Navy and the Drumba Kingdom had already mobilized a large number of troops to suppress it, after all, there were still a large number of survivors on the island, and no one dared to give up on them lightly...... Until the Sanctuary begins to implement the second round of plans!"

"As far as I know, the source of the blood spirit is a strange head found in the Holy Domain out of nowhere, they used a certain method to infuse a remnant of an ancient god into it, so that it produces a certain mutation, and then extract blood from its body, and after a special refining process, finally created a blood spirit, so to a certain extent, the root of the bestiality disease lies in the strange head that fuses the remnants of the ancient gods...... The Pope of the Sanctuary Sect did not intend to create a large sect from the beginning, and those believers, those extremely devout people, were just flesh and blood animals in his captivity!"

"Transform the monster with residual thoughts, and then create countless sacrifices with the blood containing the monster energy, and finally extract the power in the body of these sacrifices to backtrack, so that the monster can be sublimated, if it doesn't work once, twice, if it doesn't work twice, three times, one day, that monster will get enough energy to complete the 'qualitative transformation', and then ...... The horrors that existed before the Ember Age will awaken in this world...... At that time, they had succeeded most of them on Yanan Island....."

As the topic deepened, Jin Qidong's expression visibly became tired, and his tone became more and more difficult.

Obviously, even such a brief memory still caused him a great burden.

"It's hard to end things up in the end, so instead of spending time trying to solve the problem, it's better to get rid of the person who created the problem, right?"

“......”

Jin Qidong's answer to Lu Jing's question was silence.

"You don't want to say it, or you can't say it?"

Lu Jing frowned, he didn't quite understand why Jin Qidong refused to mention the reason for the disappearance of Yanan Island, but when he looked back, his expression suddenly froze, and a chill rose from his back.

Standing in front of him, Jin Qidong, who was still talking a second ago and recalling the situation at that time, was standing in place like a robot at the moment, his eyes were out of focus, and his body still maintained the movements just now.

"What's wrong with him?"

Xu Chu and Fu Ju also sensed that something was wrong.

"If my guess is right, he was affected by something or ability, someone made him forget the most crucial memory of Yanan Island, he may be able to recall, but he must not reveal the situation to anyone...... If you want to forget, why don't you forget it thoroughly, and simply erase the memory of this part completely?"

This is the only explanation that Lu Jing can think of for Jin Qidong's sudden change, and it is precisely because of this that he feels creepy!

Someone tampered with or sealed his memory!

"You're right, these memories didn't exist in my mind in the first place, and the seal was broken three years ago when I awakened my supernatural abilities. ”

I don't know when, Jin Qidong woke up again, saw the surprised expressions on the faces of Lu Jing and the others, seemed to realize something, drank the remaining hot water in the toast in one gulp, and said with a wry smile,

"Heh, that's the price of surviving!"

"What happened 15 years ago, even if you ask it clearly, it doesn't make sense now, I just want to know now, this Holy Blood Sect on Anling Island, they want to copy what happened back then, right?"

"In all likelihood, I learned through Gorman that they may well have found another remnant of the mind, and that they are likely to have ..... No, the monster that has already completed a backtracking has undergone a secondary evolution, which is why I stopped you. ”

Jin Qidong nodded, affirming Lu Jing's opinion.

"That's not right, if that monster in the Lu Xinghua Boat is the carrier they chose, as long as we get rid of it, how can the Holy Blood Sect's plan continue?"

"As long as the remnants of the ancient god clone remain, the weirdness is not a rare existence today, and this matter will never end. ”

Holding the water cup tightly in his palm, Jin Qidong said in a deep voice,

"This time, I want to end it once and for all!"
