Now it was a closed case.
It was completely clear that a powerful, unknown entity had its sights on him.
Chu Ze immediately felt a headache coming on.
If it were a powerful individual with a clear identity who saw him as an enemy, even a super-powerful one like a Lord Ravager, he wouldn't feel so helpless.
Fight if you can, run if you can't, die if you can't run.
Simple, crude, and direct.
But this time, the enemy's identity was not only unknown, but their abilities were also the unseen and untouchable abilities of a master schemer.
To be able to change memories silently, and even alter the movement of matter without being discovered.
This was completely impossible to deal with. He didn't even know who to fight back against.
"As for the scene from your dream, I've already sorted it out."
After writing down the current time, Ruan Mei stated her conclusion:
"In this dream, you have relived the entire journey from your first meeting with Herta to leaving the Azure Star."
"Such a dream is completely in line with expectations, and it has indeed given me some insights."
Ruan Mei said with a serious expression:
"In your dream, there is a huge [paradox]."
"It is a scene that should not exist in your memory, but that scene appeared in your dream like a data error."
Chu Ze quickly asked:
"Stop beating around the bush and tell me the real answer!"
Ruan Mei was slightly taken aback:
"What answer?"
Chu Ze said:
"Of course, it's Sis Ta's three sizes!"
"She's been in seclusion for so long. When she comes out, I was thinking of getting her a gift."
"And for a girl, wearing underwear personally given by a favorite member of the opposite sex should be a very romantic thing..."
Ruan Mei gently shook her head:
"That's not romantic."
"...Eh? Not romantic?"
"Mhm. If a man gave me those things, I would directly slice him up and then feed him to..."
As she spoke, Ruan Mei's voice suddenly stopped.
The tip of her pen paused in the corner of her notebook.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and then slowly relaxed.
"Chu Ze."
"Hmm?"
"Our memories have been manipulated again."
"...Eh?"
...
...
The logic of Ruan Mei's deep hypnosis was, of course, not as simple as she had explained to Chu Ze.
She had taken her parents' death anniversary, a number she could absolutely never forget, and broken it down in an orderly fashion.
Then, using these numbers as intervals, she used them as the span for recording real-world time.
Under deep hypnosis, Ruan Mei's act of recording time had already become a subconscious habit.
The interval between each time she wrote down and the previous one was a certain number from her parents' death anniversary.
And after writing down the time each time, she would get a little distracted and recall the topic of conversation she had just had with Chu Ze, from the time consumed to the topic transition and many other different aspects.
Therefore, at this very moment, after reviewing the transition of the topic with Chu Ze and the corresponding time interval, Ruan Mei immediately noticed something was wrong.
"The time is not right."
"From the discussion about the dream to Herta's three sizes..."
"To make such a large topic shift, it's impossible to have passed through such a short time interval."
Even though the conversation scene in her memory was indeed such a smooth transition, from the recorded time interval, this was a very unreasonable situation.
So Ruan Mei immediately discovered the abnormality.
Chu Ze didn't understand the principle, but since it was Ruan Mei's conclusion, he was clearly more inclined to believe it:
"In other words, we really did make some kind of discovery just now."
"And this discovery alarmed that mastermind, causing them to use their ability again?"
"Yes."
Ruan Mei nodded:
"What is certain for now is that THEIR ability is very strong, but they still can't change even subconscious actions."
"Nor can they directly ignore causality and fundamentally cut off our thoughts of continuing to explore."
"Mhm... it's also possible that it's not that THEY can't, but that THEY don't want to..."
The corner of Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly.
So who the hell is this guy, to be so mischievously making things difficult for people.
Is there any meaning in this?
Wouldn't it be better to just be straightforward?
"In short, we can conclude that tracing back memories is indeed of some use."
"But if we analyze it in depth, we will immediately be interfered with by THEM."
Ruan Mei said, taking out the disk containing the data from Chu Ze's dream and sealing it in an experimental drawer:
"My suggestion is that for the next few days, you can frequently enter a dream state here."
"Record and seal all the material data recalled from your dreams."
"Finally, I will find a time to have Yu Qingtu, Screwllum, Herta, Stephen... gather together as much as possible."
"Under the joint gaze of the geniuses, I will read the data again and try to analyze your memory."
To be able to manipulate the memories and even the real-world actions of two geniuses without their knowledge.
Such an enemy was worthy of these geniuses gathering together to discuss countermeasures.
Chu Ze nodded repeatedly as he listened:
"After you've set a time, you can notify me in advance."
"I also have a relationship with General Jing Yuan and General Feixiao. If possible, I can also bring them over to hold the line."
Five Genius Society members + two Emanators of The Hunt.
With such a lineup, if they still couldn't uncover the secret of Chu Ze's memory, then he didn't plan to pursue it any further.
He would just lie flat and give up.
However, calling in friends and allies obviously required time, and this preparation time would probably not be short.
So Chu Ze was about to take his leave:
"Then I'll be leaving first. Thank you so much for today, Ruan Mei..."
Pat.
A small hand rested on his shoulder.
Ruan Mei's voice came from behind:
"Don't be in a hurry to leave."
"The thing you were seeking has made progress, but what I wanted has not yet been obtained."
Only then did Chu Ze react, and quickly turned around with a chuckle:
"I forgot, I forgot. We agreed to help each other, but I almost became a freeloader."
"Feel free to ask. For your hard work, I will cooperate with any experiment."
Hearing his promise, Ruan Mei spoke without hesitation:
"I need some of your bodily fluids."
"Oh? Do you want to draw blood?"
Chu Ze extended his arm:
"Come on, draw as much as you want, as long as you don't kill me."
"...No, not blood, but bodily fluid."
Ruan Mei stared straight at him.
The woman's eyes showed an undisguised look of interest:
"The only thing that can interest me has always been the field related to life sciences."
"So what I want is the bodily fluid that contains your most concentrated life force."
"That is, the so-called... [life essence]."
