~6 min read 1,097 words

Jujutsu Kaisen.

"These guys are just trying to lure San Yue Qi through that door, aren't they?! A bunch of bad guys…"

Hu Zhang stared intently at the two guys in front of San Yue Qi and said seriously, "But what exactly is behind the door? And that sudden female voice just now… sounded like a good person."

"It seems San Yue Qi's past memories are extremely important to the Flowing Light Memory Court, but that makes it very interesting…" Yui Itto stroked his chin, beginning to think that the Court was also hiding Hei Tian E, and that lady currently could not glimpse the Court's true movements.

The Court's people… do they know that Weng Fa Luo Si's core is an Imperial Scepter?

"My guess is, since Weng Fa Luo Si has a Memory Envoy, could the Court also be searching for that Envoy's whereabouts?" Xiao Zi leaned against the wall, exhaling a slow puff of smoke, "…and San Yue Qi, perhaps her past memories already seal that Envoy's location."

Ri Xia Bu Du Ye's expression instantly grew serious: "Y-you, how did you reach that conclusion?"

Xiao Zi gave a light laugh, "Just a simple guess, because the Court's people would never be so kind as to actively help San Yue Qi recover her memories. But if there truly is a secret that needs to be hidden by a 'seal', I lean more toward it involving the Memory Envoy."

"Besides, I have another hypothesis, but this one is rather… terrifying."

"Terrifying?"

"Hmm."

Xiao Zi flicked the almost‑burnt cigarette from her fingertip onto the ground and stomped it out. She lifted her head and looked meaningfully at Hu Zhang You Ren.

"Only something dreadful needs to be sealed. I wonder if the Flowing Light Memory Court knew from the start exactly what was sealed in San Yue Qi's mind; once the seal is broken, San Yue Qi would die… no, she might even face something scarier than death. She's like a one‑time key, and the Court wants to expend her to obtain that Envoy's whereabouts?"

——

"We… are extremely anxious. Because the memories you have lost are of utmost importance to the Court," Fu Xuan said seriously.

"Lord Tai Bu is right. Your memories concern the survival of the Flowing Light Memory Court."

"Court…" San Yue Qi mused.

"Perhaps now the Court isn't worth anything you give it. But someday you'll understand… your destiny and the Memory's fate are tightly intertwined, inseparable." The messenger and Tai Bu turned together, "So, go."

"That great door… should I pass through it?"

"Come with me, San Yue, and pass through the Memory Gate to reclaim your past."

San Yue Qi followed the two of them dazedly, but as she walked, the girl's voice sounded again beside her ear:

"Don't go, they'll pretend to be people from your memories…"

San Yue Qi looked left and right fearfully, hugging herself tighter: "Here we go again…"

"Don't let the bad guys steal your trust…"

The door that was just steps away suddenly seemed far.

"The door… moved farther? Where is Lord Tai Bu?" San Yue Qi kept moving forward, but this time two more familiar figures stood before her.

"This time it's… Dan Heng, Xing?"

San Yue Qi stepped forward to greet them; like Tai Bu, there was no sparkle in their eyes.

"San Yue! We've found you…"

Xing Chang Shu exhaled, "... finally."

Dan Heng said expressionlessly, "The Pioneering Journey really does need you."

"A trip without you would be boring."

"Ha, I'm not surprised at all. It really does need this girl to be a complete Pioneering Squad!" San Yue Qi was happy, but the next second she sensed something odd, scanning them up and down, "No, that's not right… although you look like the Xing and Dan Heng I know, but…"

Dan Heng quickly interrupted her thoughts, "I know you have many doubts. It was the Court's ally who opened the mental link, allowing us to reach you."

——

Seeking an encounter in the dungeon—did we get something wrong?

"I'm also getting curious—what exactly is in San Yue Qi's memories that could affect the very survival of the Flowing Light Memory Court? Is it really that exaggerated?"

Weilf stared at the soulless eyes of Xing and Dan Heng in the sky dome, a strong sense of dissonance hitting him. The Flowing Light Memory Court members would even take the forms of Xing and Dan Heng to deceive San Yue Qi, making the tactics feel utterly… low‑level.

"I've been pondering something, Lord Bei Er… where do you think that never‑appeared Memory Envoy is now?" Li Li Lu Ka looked up and asked suddenly.

Bei Er lowered his eyelids slightly, "Hmm, I don't know. But I have a strange feeling… if Weng Fa Luo Si truly has a Memory Envoy, then he must be silently watching this Fire Pursuit Journey. Yet for some reason, he hasn't intervened."

"No, no—"

He Si Ti Ya waved her hand, her blue twin tails swaying like drumsticks, her youthful face showing a smug grin: "Lord Bei, you overcomplicate the problem. I'm a goddess, and a goddess's intuition tells me—the reason the Memory Envoy hasn't acted yet is only two possibilities. Either he's restrained like the Extinction Lord and cannot act, or… Weng Fa Luo Si simply has no Memory Envoy at all."

"Huh? Supreme Deity, but at the very start before setting out for Weng Fa Luo Si—"

"I know, I know. That's what Miss Ji Zi said, that 'Weng Fa Luo Si has birthed at least three Envoy‑level beings,' right? But that was in the past; who can say now? Perhaps the Memory Envoy left Weng Fa Luo Si long ago."

He Si Ti Ya straightened her back, pointed a finger gently at Bei Er's nose and said, "Lord Bei, the most important thing is—Weng Fa Luo Si is, after all, a world made of data and memory essence. As the operator of the Scepter, Laigushi should have absolute control over Weng Fa Luo Si. Ms. Black Tower was stopped by it when she entered Weng Fa Luo Si; how could a Memory Envoy deceive its eyes without it noticing?"

——

"The Court's ally… is Miss Hei Tian E?"

Dan Heng nodded, "Yes, she also contributed a part."

"Keep moving forward, San Yue. Find your past, then awaken… and travel with us."

"…"

Quietly watching the two companions before her, both familiar and strange, San Yue Qi showed little excitement: "It sounds… truly tempting. To retrieve my past and also continue 'pioneering' new worlds with you…"
