Chapter 204: Comprehensive Recollection (Part 1)

San Yueqi and Xing arrived together at the Divination Office.

From afar they saw Fu Xuan, and San Yueqi cheerfully greeted, "Divination Master, good morning, is today's work going smoothly?"

Fu Xuan saw at a glance that they had a request, and asked directly what they wanted.

The bluntness first made San Yueqi a bit embarrassed, while Fu Xuan remained calm and unperturbed: "I never act according to anyone's mood. By rule, each morning before work I cast a dozen or so daily divination hexagrams, and the results are invariably accurate."

"In today's forecast I divined whether any unexpected complications would arise; the hexagram rose and fell between Kan and Qian. The Qiongguan Array's output read: 'Three uninvited guests will arrive; honoring them ends in good fortune.'"

"Honoring them ends in good fortune… well, the Qiongguan Array is that considerate; it seems our fate is not shallow."

——

A certain science's railgun.

On a park bench in Academy City, Yuban Meiqin and Shangtiao Dangma sat side by side, watching Fu Xuan on the holographic screen describe "future extrapolation" so casually, yet with precise numbers of incoming people… both were left a little stunned.

"I've known the Qiongguan Array is powerful for a long time, but I can't help thinking… that's cheating! It's outright cheating!" Shangtiao Dangma couldn't help squeezing the drink can in his hand flat.

"How high is the Qiongguan Array's computing power, actually?"

Even after seeing the Qiongguan Array in operation, Yuban Meiqin could hardly believe it: "The Array's principle is to use massive existing data, continuously extrapolate, and compute every possible future in intricate detail… this is clearly a materialization of a quantum probability cloud, but the computing power required…"

Even aggregating the computing power of every computer on Earth probably couldn't exhaust all the possibilities of a single person's future.

"No, no, I think this has already left the realm of science and entered the domain of magic."

Shangtiao Dangma scratched his head, pointing at the screen: "Three uninvited guests arrive… even if you're extrapolating the future, how could it get that specific? It's like saying 'In three seconds a bird droppings will fall on Dangma's head'—just thinking about it is absurd, right?"

As soon as the words finished, a bird call rang from the sky, and Dangma suddenly felt something sticky on his hair. He brushed his hand through it and found his fingers covered in white droppings.

Yuban Meiqin took a step back with a disdainful expression.

"Pfft… you're really unlucky, huh?"

——

After describing San Yueqi's memory loss, Fu Xuan rested his cheek on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"I see, you want to use a formation to recreate the past and awaken your memory? The principle works, but I'm afraid the Qiongguan Array might not be able to do it?"

"Even the all‑mighty Divination Master can't?" Xing directly thrust a hand, urging the method forward.

"Who, who said that?" Fu Xuan, clearly caught off guard by Xing, flushed and coughed lightly, "Ahem, I never said it's impossible. The gap between 'cannot' and 'maybe' spans millions of light‑years."

Fu Xuan then gave a brief overview of the Qiongguan Array's principle: in short, the great array is a ruthless extrapolation engine that uses existing information to infer what happened in the past and what will happen in the future.

Because San Yueqi has already lost her memory, the first step of gathering information was awkwardly stalled. According to Fu Xuan's understanding, there are only two kinds of amnesia: first, memories sleeping deep in the sea of consciousness; second, memories erased directly by some method.

Which case applies to San Yueqi must be tested with the Qiongguan Array first.

But before that, they needed to collect items related to San Yueqi's memory. That wasn't hard; San quickly gathered a bunch and brought them to Fu Xuan, including tickets, Beloberg's earth marrow, and even a cup of Immortal Joy Tea…

However, none of these sufficed; Fu Xuan needed materials from before she lost her memory, which put San Yueqi in a bind.

"Sorry, Divination Master, Sister Kizuki said that when they found me I was stark naked, sealed inside a block of ice—like a newborn infant, with nothing around me."

"You'll surely ask next, 'Is that ice still there?' Unfortunately, shortly after I was rescued, the ice melted away without a trace."

——

Jujutsu Kaisen.

"Sealed inside a block of ice… hmm, I have a hypothesis about this sealing method…" Yui Itto rested his chin thoughtfully, "Could San Yueqi be the child of the memory star god Fu Li?"

"Huh? Itto, that guess is way too far-fetched," Rixia Bu Duye frowned slightly, "There's scant information on Fu Li now; he only appears in simulated universes. What's your basis?"

"'Memory' and 'ice'—aren't those two points enough?"

Yui Itto extended two fingers, "I also referenced Ka Fu Ka's account of Xing's lineage. If San Yueqi's amnesia is the first type… it's hard to explain why she'd be sealed in ice; if it's the second type, the person capable of this is likely tied to the Memory faction."

"If a star god or an order‑bearing‑level being actively stripped her memory, I'm more inclined to think San Yueqi is some kind of 'container' or 'test subject.'"

"Test subject… who would have the heart to use such a lively, cute girl for experiments?" Xiaozi couldn't help saying.

"Heh, who knows?"

——

If we must name something San Yueqi possessed before losing her memory, it's probably only the ability to conjure Six‑Aspect Ice at will.

With matters at this point, Fu Xuan had no other recourse; after the others delivered the items to the array foundation, she placed San Yueqi at the core of the Qiongguan Array.

Before the extrapolation, Fu Xuan briefed San Yueqi on several precautions. Though Xing could not join this run, Fu Xuan would stay in constant contact to ensure the back‑tracking proceeded smoothly.

Once San Yueqi was ready, Fu Xuan activated the Qiongguan Great Array. In an instant, San felt everything before her shatter like broken glass, countless memory fragments floating and rotating in the void before reassembling.

When San opened her eyes again, she found herself in the Dan Ding Si, where the scent of medicine wafted through the air.

At the medical market, familiar faces were everywhere—not only Fu Xuan, but also Jing Yuan, Xing, and the now‑vanished Ting Yun.

Fu Xuan guessed this was the moment they breached the Dan Ding Si, yet looking at the people before her, she felt puzzled: "This is the Qiongguan Array's extrapolation; distortion is possible… but why is the disturbance this great? It's illogical."

Just then, San Yueqi began to interact with another Fu Xuan standing beside her.
