Chapter 295

The black dragon let out a fierce roar.

"What's it to you what I do?"

Everyone was startled by him.

The officer ordered the black dragon pinned to the ground.

"Can you just be quiet?"

Only then did the black dragon calm down.

Cai Wuxiong continued speaking.

"The next day, I went to Duan Duan Changren's stall and found no one there—he hadn't brought back Wang Da Dong, and he himself had vanished."

"Following the scent, I chased after him and found three mysterious figures attacking Duan Duan Changren, even... trying to kill him."

The black dragon clenched his fists.

"Tell me—who are these people? Who exactly are they?"

Lin Yu used ability techniques to calm the black dragon.

"I helped him drive off these people, and he told me that this group of mysterious figures intended to erase all ability users from the world. The clues Wang Da Dong and others had found were fake—a trap. They went there and were ambushed."

"The cross-temporal phone Duan Duan Changren used to call for help was destroyed, making contact with Iron Space impossible."

"The mysterious figures knew of the existence of the Spatial Gate. Fearing they would use it to target more ability users, Duan Duan Changren used his own life... to seal the Spatial Gate."

"And I, after being struck on the back of the head by the mysterious figures, lost my memory."

Here, he stopped.

Only then did everyone understand.

Ten years ago, something terrifying truly happened.

Moreover, the mysterious figures also ambushed Wang Da Dong and the others.

That explains why we can't find Wang Da Dong and the others from ten years in the future.

Cai Wuxiong said this.

He revealed his heart to Seeing Geng Lie.

"All these years, you've taken care of me—thank you. Back then, all I had left in my mind was to find ability users and restart the Spatial Gate, to restore everything to normal."

"And..."

"Find Wang Yase. Come home for dinner."

So, that initial meeting was merely coincidence—Cai Wuxiong, suffering from amnesia, gravitated toward those with ability indexes.

He mistakenly took Seeing Geng Lie for Wang Yase.

Seeing Geng Lie stepped back two steps.

He could not believe it.

"No."

He could not accept this truth—he ran out.

Seeing Seeing Geng Lie like this,

Jin Bao San and the others grew worried and followed after him, fearing he might harm himself.

Lei Ting, after hearing this, calmly thought of her broken legs.

"If that's truly the case!"

"Then what I said before must be right."

If we can find the origin of the Hand of Ares, perhaps we can locate Wang Da Dong.

The officer released the black dragon.

The black dragon thought about these things.

"What are you standing around for? I want to see for myself what really happened back then."

The black dragon ran toward the Resource Recycling Site.

Although night had fallen,

the Ultimate Class members still followed after him.

Not only them—Cai Wuxiong, having regained his memory, also wanted to find Wang Yase's whereabouts.

At the very least, he needed to find what belonged to him.

Lin Yu and the others set out.

Seeing Geng Lie, affected by his emotions,

did not head to the Resource Recycling Site immediately.

After Jin Bao San and the others caught up with him,

Seeing Geng Lie suddenly remembered his mission.

"Seeing Geng Lie, don't be sad—there are plenty of grasses beyond the horizon. Cai Wuxiong belongs to Wang Yase."

He might as well not have spoken at all.

Hearing that Cai Wuxiong didn't belong to him, Seeing Geng Lie felt as if a knife had pierced his heart.

He felt even more miserable.

"Don't say any more."

Seeing Geng Lie looked at Jin Bao San.

"I'm already feeling better."

Jin Bao San ran over and hugged Seeing Geng Lie.

"Really? That's great—let's go! I'll take you home."

Geng Lie had no intention of going home; he was thinking that if Lei Ting and the others didn't go to the Resource Recovery Site today.

He could get ahead and erase Wang Da Dong's traces.

"Now, Lei Ting and the others may have gone to the Resource Recovery Site—we should hurry and see what's going on."

Geng Lie was very anxious.

Jin Bao San was originally tasked with ensuring Geng Lie didn't run into trouble.

Now, Geng Lie had come to terms with it.

He would do exactly as he said.

The two followed closely behind and arrived at the Resource Recovery Site.

After Lin Yu and the others entered.

He noticed that Geng Lie had followed them over.

He grew somewhat wary.

It was pitch black; the lighting was poor.

It was hard for everyone to search.

They even considered giving up.

When they came back here tomorrow to look for clues.

Cai Wuxiong suddenly locked onto a direction.

All of them followed him over.

Cai Wuxiong fixed his gaze on a patch of ground.

"Here!"

The members of Ultimate Class helped her dig up the soil here.

They saw a wooden chest.

"There really is something here!"

Jin Bao San stared in surprise at the wooden chest, already covered in mold.

From the state of decay, the chest had likely been buried here for a long time.

Lei Ting and the others stared at the wooden chest, eager to know what was inside.

Cai Wuxiong opened the chest and discovered inside was a Dragon-Patterned Turtle.
