Chapter 592: Beneath the Flower Bed
That night, the bright moon was in the sky.
In a small alley by the street, Lu Wushuang and her group of three stared at each other.
After a while, Miyoshi Ryota spoke hesitantly.
"Should we go?"
Nanako remained silent.
Lu Wushuang said in a deep voice.
"Only a fool would go. Your brain isn't even as good as Nanako's. Regarding her family, have you seen her say she wants to go?"
Miyoshi Ryota touched the back of his head and asked in confusion.
"But the other party doesn't seem to have any hostility?"
Lu Wushuang looked at him with disgust.
"Can poison that smells like shit kill people?"
"Have you ever thought that since Nanako's memory is not wrong, what is the situation we are facing?"
"Not to mention how much energy it takes to completely erase the traces of a family of dozens, including servants, just talking about the people we asked during the day, they didn't recognize Nanako, and they were definitely not pretending."
"Since Nanako's memory is not wrong, then the problem is with them... Do you know where the problem lies?"
Miyoshi Ryota was shocked.
"So... it's their memories that have a problem!"
Lu Wushuang nodded.
"Of course."
"Working backward from this point, those who can tamper with memories are mostly Heaven-Men who have mastered Nature Cultivation. How many families in Dongying might have Nature Cultivation heritage?"
"And the scope... Nanako's family is a wealthy household. The people around who often come into contact with her family must be at least dozens, and those who know them must be hundreds. If the memory erasure was done in stages, it would soon fail due to daily communication... So, this was likely done overnight."
"Hundreds of people, overnight."
"The Heaven-Man who did this is definitely not the only one."
Lu Wushuang suddenly gripped her sword hilt.
"Nature Cultivation heritage, multiple Heaven-Men, within Kyoto... possessing these three points, don't tell me you can't guess which family it is."
Miyoshi Ryota was shocked again.
"Shinto!"
Lu Wushuang nodded.
"This is the only option."
"Since it involves Shinto, then I have to ask one question—"
She turned to look at Nanako.
"Who are you?"
"If your family was just a simple wealthy merchant, why would it involve Shinto... And why did Matsuura Takanobu recognize you before he died, and feel that using your identity could save his own life?"
Before Nanako could speak, she waved her hand.
"You don't know, so you don't have to answer, but you should also be clear that this is no longer just a matter of sending you home."
"Regarding your family, you must explain everything in detail, without missing anything... If your family are innocent people controlled by Shinto, then undoubtedly your running away caused some change, and it is very likely to be dangerous..."
"The sooner we find out, the greater the chance of your family's survival."
Without a doubt, Lu Wushuang was inducing a confession.
She did not mention the possibility that Nanako's family were accomplices of Shinto, or even Shinto members themselves. She only used "the family might be in danger" to force Nanako to speak.
But in fact, even if she had said it, Nanako would subconsciously ignore this point... Who would think their family members are bad people?
Along the way, Li Miao had never kept anything from Nanako, so she naturally knew clearly what kind of goods Shinto was.
So without Lu Wushuang saying much, Nanako took the initiative to reveal everything she knew.
After she finished speaking, Lu Wushuang frowned.
"Too normal."
That's right, too normal. ===== CHAPTER 593 =====
