Chapter 344
What kind of face was that...
Eyes, nose, lips, ears... clearly every feature was ordinary, but when put together, there was no feature that could be remembered by people. Ambiguous, blurry, even the gender could not be seen clearly, as if this person had long been forgotten.
This is a common face with no features, it is Fen Wu's face.
To be precise, it is the face of 'Fen Wu in Seeing Lan Shiwen's cognition'.
The moment he saw this face, Betang was stunned, his eyes immediately became blank, but he quickly recovered, and even became more vigilant than just now.
"This is... inside the opera house? Is that the Gambler?"
Betang frowned, staring at the Gambler sitting motionless across the table, muttering in his heart: "When did I come in? Am I gambling with the Gambler? Where is Miss Mei Lin? Where did she run to?"
"..." Looking at Betang's appearance, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe shook his head: "As expected, I cannot directly clear Betang's brain and turn him into a walking corpse, I only cleared his memory from before entering the opera house to now... 'Tai Sui's' rule does indeed have some limitations."
Some kind of limitation that neither he nor Seeing Lan Shiwen knew.
Then, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe cast his gaze on 'Fen Wu', who was lying softly on the sofa across the table. His chest was still rising and falling, and he was still breathing, but he had lost his self-consciousness and subjective initiative, turning into a walking corpse.
"Betang's memory can only be deleted for a small part, but this person's memory can be completely cleared without any obstacles, directly drained of consciousness and turned into an empty shell... What is the difference between the two, causing the different manifestations of Tai Sui's ability?"
Is it because this man was brainwashed by Fen Wu in the first place? Or is it because the Fen Wu simulated by Tai Yi is not as powerful as the real 'Tai Sui'?
Or is it some other reason?
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe could feel that he had already touched the key. As long as he could figure this out, he would not be far from cracking Fen Wu's core rules.
Okay, let's sort out the current situation:
First, he has successfully stolen part of Fen Wu's identity. Although it is an incomplete slice, it also allows Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe to simulate a part of 'Tai Sui's' ability through Tai Yi, lifting the dead end where time and space are blocked.
Tai Sui's ability is: under certain conditions, it can delete other people's memories to a certain extent. As for whether it can be modified, it is still unknown. After all, this identity is too thin and only comes from Seeing Lan Shiwen's own cognition.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe can probably guess the process of his stealing Fen Wu's identity. Simply summarized, it is two words: suicide.
"Judging from Xia Yubing's description, this is not the first time Seeing Lan Shiwen has triggered a death return. In the previous many 'reincarnations', he has already understood Fen Wu's ability and the situation in the opera house, so he was able to find Xia Yubing at the first time and pass Fen Wu's information to me through the notebook."
"And Seeing Lan Shiwen's memory is the basis for me to steal Fen Wu's identity."
Simply go through the process:
1. Seeing Lan Shiwen knows that it was Fen Wu who trapped Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe in the opera house.
2. Seeing Lan Shiwen knows that Fen Wu has the ability to modify memories.
3. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe once stole Seeing Lan Shiwen's identity and used this identity to commit suicide. Seeing Lan Shiwen automatically triggered a death return.
Seeing Lan Shiwen, who passively triggered the death return, will default that Fen Wu killed Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, causing him to return to the file, but besides that, there is another possibility—Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe committed suicide.
"I can think of these, the me in the previous reincarnation can naturally think of them too." At the moment of successfully deleting all the memories of 'Fen Wu' in front of him, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe knew that he had bet right.
The Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe in the previous reincarnation committed suicide, but Seeing Lan Shiwen still defaulted that he was killed by Fen Wu.
Thus, the wrong cognition built a bridge for Tai Yi to steal the identity, and he successfully stole the identity of 'Fen Wu in Seeing Lan Shiwen's cognition'.
"But what's strange is that this identity stolen by Tai Yi was not accompanied by any memory, which led to me not knowing that I had already stolen a slice of Fen Wu's identity in the previous reincarnation, otherwise I wouldn't have been forced to a dead end by Fen Wu."
Other identities stolen in the past were more or less accompanied by some memory fragments of the person, but Fen Wu did not. His identity was not accompanied by any memory.
Memory, memory again... Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's eyes flashed, realizing that this is also a clue about Tai Sui's rules.
"Hello, may I ask if you have seen a tall lady before?"
Betang looked at Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who was wearing a blurry common face, and asked tentatively: "That lady is about 25 or 26 years old, wearing a khaki equestrian suit, with a head of exquisitely managed short black hair, very beautiful, with a neutral temperament, and impressive at first glance. If you have seen her, you shouldn't forget her."
"You mean Ms. Miss Mei Lin, right?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe glanced at Betang and said with a smile: "She said she went to find a certain Young Lady, and asked me to look after you here before leaving..."
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had long used Tai Yi to pretend to be a ghost, and had long practiced the ability to brag without drafting. Before long, he made up a lie that was nine parts true and one part false.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said: He is an innocent passerby who was unfortunately involved in the Gambler's gambling game. Fortunately, Miss Mei Lin and Betang, who were pulled into the gambling game earlier than him, explained the Gambler's rules to him, so he could save his life at the gambling table.
As for the man lying softly across the sofa, he became like this after losing the gamble and being made by the Gambler. As for what happened, I don't know...
After listening to Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's narrative, Betang gradually understood the current situation:
"After Miss Mei Lin lost the gamble, she used the bronze mirror to forcibly leave here. Because no one designated the next player to flip the coin, this gambling game was stuck and could not continue. And the Gambler was also limited by the identity of a 'player' and could not leave the gambling game, so it was trapped here and could not forcibly drag her back after she had left the casino."
Lies that are nine parts true and one part false are the hardest to expose. After understanding the whole story, Betang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know why he lost his memory from entering the opera house to now, fortunately, Miss Mei Lin successfully trapped the Gambler. At least the impact of this eerie event would not continue to expand. Their purpose for coming here had been achieved.
It's not strange for anything to happen in an eerie event, who can be sure?
"Thank you for helping me look after him." Betang nodded to Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe to express his gratitude, while thinking in his heart about how to get out of this gambling game next.
"No, no, no, I am the one who should say thank you." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe hurriedly said with a flattered look: "If it weren't for Mr. Betang and Ms. Miss Mei Lin's help, I would have died in the hands of this ghost long ago."
Betang shook his head: "Let's talk about things as they are. If you should be grateful, you should express gratitude. This is the rule of my Astarti family."
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe then stopped declining, thinking that he still had to thank us.
