Chapter 4208: The Memory About to Dissipate

~10 min read 1,844 words

Both of them were silent for a while facing the skeleton. Xia De asked Ms. Thorne:

"What exactly have you been with for so long? An undead that doesn't want to leave? Or, is the Mr. Albert in the temple now also a false thing flowing out of memory?"

Now even the witch who had always shown that she knew everything was not sure. She paused for a few seconds before answering:

"I have an eye ailment."

Xia De really couldn't refute this sentence:

"Has Mr. Leonard Albert also been to the second floor to see the god?"

"Yes, I was there at the time."

The witch knew what Xia De meant:

"Although he has problems, since the god didn't say anything, it means he is allowed to stay."

Xia De was also not very sure:

"Maybe this person came here carrying his own corpse, and the 'illness' he wanted to cure was death."

Although this joke was not funny, Ms. Thorne still curled the corners of her mouth:

"No matter what, at least for solving Mr. Albert's problem, we already have clues."

Xia De nodded, bent down, and took the skeleton out of the pile of skeletons alone. Under such close perception, he was very sure that this was indeed the skeleton of a commoner:

"Let's go back and see what Mr. Albert has to say."

The skeleton was turned into a card by him. After burning the remaining corpses, the two prepared to set off to return. When Xia De asked again:

"Ms. Thorne, do you think this world might also be just a memory?"

"Whose memory?"

The witch asked, and then immediately understood Xia De's speculation:

"Don't think so much for now, let's solve the things in hand first."

Because they stayed in that low-lying area for a period of time, the two accelerated their pace when returning to prevent the firelight from going out. Although nothing blocked the way on the next road, the fire in the candle and kerosene lamp still went out when they were still a distance from the temple.

The moment the firelight went out, the surrounding fog immediately surged up. Ms. Thorne slowly stopped, and after subconsciously turning to look at Xia De, she immediately asked with surprise and even some fear:

"Man? No, what are you, what are you going to do to me? Why didn't the witch curse..."

"Chain of Sin!"

The three chains that had been prepared for a long time wrapped around the witch who was close at hand. Although Ms. Thorne was twelfth-tier, she still couldn't resist the power of the chains. Her sins were not particularly deep, but Xia De inexplicably felt that her desires were very deep, but he still couldn't perceive what aspect of desires that was based on the chains:

"Go!"

He carried the witch who couldn't move on his back and rushed toward the firelight ahead, and at the same time said in his heart:

"In a while, no matter what strange thoughts I have because of memory loss, you must remind me to rush forward at the first time."

"She" smiled gently:

【At least this time, it shouldn't be needed.】

The firelight soon enveloped Xia De and Ms. Thorne, and during this period Xia De did not have memory loss. Regardless of whether this was because of that grain of "Sunlight" or the specialness he showed, Xia De's resistance to these white fogs was indeed improving.

He put Ms. Thorne down, and after returning to the temple, the witch who was terrified just now that she had been kidnapped by a humanoid male creature gradually remembered what she was doing.

She patted her head and sighed:

"I always feel that staying here, my head will have more and more problems."

Mr. Albert and the two old witches were still sitting by the fire. They only cast glances at the two who returned from going out and didn't say much.

Xia De and Ms. Thorne naturally wouldn't throw out that skeleton directly. After the two sat down by the fire, they first informed the two old witches of the enemies encountered during this trip, and then Ms. Thorne sat by the fire and stopped talking, pretending to need a rest, while Xia De moved to Mr. Albert's side.

They were both men, and in this situation, it wouldn't seem particularly abrupt to get together and say a few words.

And although Mr. Albert's spirit was much better than at the beginning, this was obviously not enough to support him and Xia De to have a complete communication.

However, Xia De didn't need communication. After saying hello, his perception began to investigate what this normal-looking human male was.

Breathing, heartbeat, and pulse were all the same as normal people, and even the weak mental power fluctuations were no different from normal people who were mentally exhausted. The power of the soul could be perceived by Xia De, and its "existence" itself was not forged.

So, "She" gave the conclusion:

【This is himself in his memory, so there is no difference from the real him.】

Xia De looked at the bonfire and said nothing:

"This level of disguise, if you don't rely on your help, how exactly can it be distinguished? Are the two old witches and Ms. Thorne also a memory?"

Xia De didn't doubt the god on the second floor. The power of the god couldn't be faked.

"She" smiled gently:

【Only in this special area will such special memory fragments appear. Isolde Thorne is not a memory but a real living life. I have already checked it for you.】

Xia De said that he was not proficient in memory-related abilities just now, which was not humble. Although he had heard Xilisi talk about many things related to memory, he only had a rough understanding.

However, a "rough understanding" was enough for the current situation. The echoes of the soul would create some plausible memory fragments, and under special circumstances, memories would truly appear in the material world. Xilisi had told Xia De similar stories.

Essentially, the dazed man sitting beside Xia De at this moment was not a human, not even a life. But he thought he was still the person named Leonard Albert, and Xia De would still help him find the lost memory.

Xia De indeed didn't understand memory secret arts, but Xilisi said that things that were memories themselves could easily be guided to temporarily return to normal. This process couldn't let them realize what they were, and needed to prepare items related to the real person and use miracles that could make consciousness clear to guide them.

Xilisi said it very vaguely at the time, and Xia De didn't know if it was useful in the current situation, but he felt he could try it.

So Xia De gave a wink to Ms. Thorne across the bonfire, signaling her to be prepared for the worst, and then Xia De reached into his pocket and took out a finger bone.

The memory named "Leonard Albert" looked at the finger bone, his expression changed, but eventually returned to that dazed appearance.

Xia De sighed:

"Look at me."

He said, and while the man looked at Xia De, Xia De chose the miracle given by the Wisdom Angel:

"Spirit Spring Enlightenment!"

The water-stained fingertips touched the man's forehead, and his eyes widened suddenly:

"I, I..."

Xia De, who withdrew his finger, saw that he still couldn't completely find his memory, so he put on the moonstone ring, kissed the ring, and called out the bright yellow moonlight. He hadn't used this miracle for a long time:

"Confusion!"

The yellow moonlight represented guidance, and this miracle could make normal people crazy, and could also make crazy people sober.

The yellow moonlight appeared before his eyes. The man by the fire stopped talking, but stared blankly at the moonlight, but Xia De clearly felt that what his eyes saw were his own memories. Even the two tired witches looked over here, and Ms. Thorne didn't know when she moved to Xia De's side.

Xia De and Ms. Thorne were both worried that this memory fragment would think of the fact that he had died, and thus collapse completely, but fortunately, when the confusion in the man's eyes faded, what he said was:

"I remember, I really remember, how could I forget such an important thing? I remember why I came here."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the other party wanted to say his purpose, Ms. Thorne stopped him:

"The one who can give you grace is the Great One, not us. Go and meet that compassionate lady."

She was actually worried that once the deepest obsession was spoken, this memory would collapse immediately. Xia De also understood Ms. Thorne's worry, and he didn't give Leonard Albert time to think:

"Let's go, since you remember, hurry up and see the god, otherwise you might forget again in a while."

He said and pulled the man up directly, and then took him to bypass the screen to the elevator position.

And Mr. Albert seemed to have completely regained his sobriety at this moment:

"Okay, okay, but how should I thank you? If it weren't for you, I..."

"Don't say so much, go see the god first."

Xia De's pace became faster, because he clearly noticed that this person's body was gradually becoming transparent. This memory was about to disappear. Ms. Thorne followed the two, and she also wanted to know what would happen in the end.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the elevator took the three to the second floor. Mr. Albert obviously noticed that the two were a bit too anxious. When Xia De rubbed his hands in front of the god's room and prepared to push the door, Mr. Albert asked suspiciously:

"Are we in a hurry?"

Ms. Thorne, although she didn't want to deal with the man, answered at this time:

"Yes, we are in a hurry. There are some things that a man like you who has never been in contact with the supernatural world cannot know. In short, there is not much time left, and you probably don't want to fall at the last step, right?"

Ms. Thorne could even see Xia De through Mr. Albert's body at this moment. His dissipation speed was faster than they thought.

Xia De had no good way to stop the dissipation of the memory body, so before pushing open the door in front of him, he reached out and patted Mr. Albert's shoulder:

"We are about to see that compassionate god. Now don't let your imagination run wild, concentrate, and think about what you want to say to the god in a while."

He took advantage of the patting action to stick the card sealing the skeleton on the back of the other party's transparent body. Although this didn't bring back the dissipated memory, at least the trend of Mr. Albert's body becoming transparent was not so obvious. ===== CHAPTER 4209 =====
