Chapter 341

A biting chill crawled up his spine along his lumbar vertebrae. It was an emotion called fear. The last time Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was this scared was the last time.

But being afraid was useless; what was coming would come.

"The situation in Taoyuan City was the result of the cooperation between Fen Wu and Yu Zi Qian, and I stole Yu Zi Qian's own cognition of himself. I possess all of his memories, but I am the only one who does not have memories about Fen Wu."

"This shows that his memory has also been modified by Fen Wu. There is also a 'Tai Sui' worm parasitizing in Yu Zi Qian's brain."

"There is probably one in my brain too."

Jue Yuan's rules use 'thought' as a medium. He can only make people's original thoughts extreme, and cannot make people have thoughts they didn't have originally. And just over two months ago, in Taoyuan City, where Tu Yu fused and cut off space and time, Yu Zi Qian had branded Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe with the thought seal of 'I must kill Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe'."

"If there is no corresponding thought as a medium, Jue Yuan's rules cannot take effect. Yu Zi Qian could brand me with a thought seal and make me commit suicide, which shows that I originally had the idea of wanting to commit suicide in my heart."

But who would go against themselves for no reason? Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe could be sure that he had never thought about committing suicide. That was definitely not his own idea, but was forcibly imposed on him by an outsider.

Now it seems that this outsider is most likely Fen Wu, and his own brain was planted with a 'Tai Sui' three months ago.

... Damn.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe moved his gaze away from the gambling table, adjusted his chaotic breathing, turned his head, and saw Fen Wu lift the curtain and walk in from the outside. The two people's gazes intertwined for a moment, and then separated.

Miss Mei Lin glanced at the two of them quietly. From the slightly subtle atmosphere between them, she could feel that no matter what they had just talked about outside, they had broken off their conversation.

"Okay, okay, calm down first." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe closed his eyes, relaxed for two seconds, then opened them again, smoothed out the complicated thoughts in his heart, and focused his energy on the present: "Since I have rejected Fen Wu's 'good intentions', then next, I am afraid I will have to face the challenge of this Ascender who sees the head but not the tail."

Although that thing could not be called 'good intentions', it was more just a trap of advancing by retreating.

No one in the world would radiate kindness for no reason, especially an enemy. The reason why Fen Wu suddenly showed an attitude of willingness to compromise was not because of the 'no conflict of core interests between the two' he said earlier, but simply because this hard bone named Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was too difficult to chew.

"Judging from the situation in Shenyu Valley Prison before, Fen Wu can not only delete and modify people's memories on a small scale, but he also has the ability to completely delete a person's memory, turn them into an empty shell without thoughts and consciousness, and then write different memories into this empty shell, which can artificially create living people with different personalities. Such means can be called 'God'."

"However, a ghost is a ghost after all, not an omniscient and omnipotent god. Fen Wu planted a Tai Sui worm in my brain three months ago, and I have been unaware of it for a long time. Theoretically, he could delete my memory at any time, take away everything I have, and have sufficient motivation to do so, but until now, he has not done so. Is it because he doesn't want to?"

... It's because he can't.

"A ghost's ability has limitations. So far, all the ghosts I know have their corresponding operating rules and contact media. Even 'Tai Sui', which is like a god, must have its own limitations, and cannot do whatever it wants, let alone act recklessly."

"Fen Wu doesn't want to delete my memory, but he can't. Some hidden condition I don't know limits him. I need to know the specific content of this hidden condition and understand what the 'limitation' that makes him unable to truly make a move against me is..."

If he could understand its 'limitation', then he would not be far from cracking 'Tai Sui's' core rules.

*Ding—*

A crisp sound woke Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe from his brief contemplation. Betang dropped the 2nd coin into the wine glass, and the precarious wine body did not break or overflow after all.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked around and saw Fen Wu leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, closing his eyes to rest, looking very quiet.

Betang, who had just dropped the copper coin, looked back and forth between Miss Mei Lin and the Gambler, as if thinking about who to designate as the next person to flip the coin.

Miss Mei Lin's expression did not change much, but her slightly wandering eyes and subtle body language exposed her anxious mood at the moment. Obviously, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's previous warning had worked. Miss Mei Lin had already begun to weigh whether she should continue to gamble like this, or take the initiative to become a loser, pay the price of an empowerment prop to get out of this game, and hurry to see the situation of her Young Lady.

The Gambler was still sitting in place, saying nothing.

It was just a ghost.

Looking at everyone who had their own thoughts, suddenly, a terrible idea appeared in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's mind uncontrollably:

"All my thoughts just now were based on the information in my memory as a premise for reasoning, and then making guesses and giving preliminary conclusions, but my memory is highly likely to have been modified by Fen Wu..."

Is information that is suspected to have been modified by someone really credible?

Furthermore, if even the premise conditions are untrustworthy, how can the results inferred from these conditions be correct?

"Calm down, Fen Wu didn't directly delete my memory and turn me into a walking corpse, which shows that 'Tai Sui's' ability also has its limitations. My memory should only have been tampered with a small part, not necessarily all fake."

"... No, that's not right. Who has evidence to prove that the idea of 'my memory should not have been tampered with on a large scale' is not Fen Wu's means of artificially implanting it into my brain to make me relax my vigilance?"

"Or more extremely—am I really Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe?"

"Is it possible that I was a walking corpse with my memory deleted from the beginning, just artificially implanted with memories by Fen Wu, thinking I am Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, and mistaking a life that doesn't belong to me as my own?"

Is this possible?

Yes, brother, yes.

This is a question that cannot be falsified. No one can prove how much of their memory is real and how much is fake. No one can prove that they are a living person, not a brain in a vat soaked in a nutrient tank.

No one can answer this question.

But a ghost can.

The moment Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had the idea of 'Am I really Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe?', a sudden change occurred.

"Hmm?"

"This..."

Betang, who was hesitating about who to designate next, Miss Mei Lin, who was worried about her Young Lady's safety, and even Fen Wu, who was closing his eyes to rest, and the Gambler, who was sitting in the dealer's seat, everyone present cast their eyes on Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe at this moment.

On the sofa, the bright and moving gentle mature woman had disappeared, replaced by a handsome young man sitting there with his head down, black hair scattered down, making the skin on his collarbone look even whiter, with a faint scholarly air in his handsome bone structure. It was the original appearance of the young man named 'Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe'.

He raised his head, and a pair of different-colored pupils shone brightly between the scattered hair.

"I am Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe." He said to himself in his heart: "Not anything else."

No evidence needed, no reason needed, he unconditionally believed that he was absolutely Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe.
