Chapter 92 - 80: The Person Who Brought Him the Succubus

Chapter 92: Chapter 80: The Person Who Brought Him the Succubus

「In Qingzhou City.」

A car was parked in a certain alleyway.

Fang Xiu got out and looked around.

This place seemed... not too far from his villa.

No wonder he was always running into Yue Tianrui around here.

So that place was nearby.

The three of them got out of the car. Fang Xiu didn’t know which way to go.

He could only follow them.

Fortunately, the path wasn’t too winding.

Soon, they arrived at a wall... That’s right, a wall.

However, this wall wasn’t the same as the one at Zhao Yao’s place.

This one had a machine on it.

Fang Xiu took a look and saw that... you needed to swipe a card to get in.

After Ji Shi took out a card and swiped it,

the wall opened up to reveal a door, just like the one at Zhao Yao’s.

"What do you think? Pretty high-tech, huh?"

Yue Tianrui seemed to be a big fan of these spaces hidden inside walls.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

But inwardly, he was unimpressed. ’This thing needs a keycard? Back at Liu’s place, you can open the door just by knocking someone out.’

’Isn’t that way more advanced?’

However, Fang Xiu was a little worried. The door was on a wall.

But the facility was actually underground. Could it be that the entire underground of Qingzhou City had been built out?

’No way. When I have time, I need to go home and dig up my yard.’

’It would be bad if it turns out someone is living under my property and my Gate World affairs get exposed.’

"Let’s go!"

Ji Shi said, then stepped through the door first.

Fang Xiu gestured to Kajimi in the distance, signaling her not to follow.

Only then did he enter.

Yue Tianrui looked left and right, confirmed no one was watching, and also went inside.

The door automatically closed after the three of them entered.

Unlike Zhao Yao’s place, this area was brightly lit.

The lights weren’t voice-activated.

The three of them walked down a flight of stairs.

Although it was much brighter than Zhao Yao’s place, Fang Xiu felt a deeper chill here.

"This is where we detain people who have used their Awakened Abilities to commit crimes!"

It was as if he knew what Fang Xiu was thinking.

Yue Tianrui said.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "So those two are here?"

"Yes. After all, forcibly entering our school’s Gate World is already a crime!"

Yue Tianrui continued, "But those two are a little different."

"Different?"

Fang Xiu was puzzled.

’They both used their Awakened Abilities to commit a crime. What could be so different?’

"They’re considered mentally unstable, so they were handed over to us for supervision!"

Ji Shi answered Fang Xiu’s question.

’Mentally unstable?’

’That does make sense.’

Everyone else had lost their memories of Lu Yu’Er.

But Yu Boyuan and the other man swore up and down that Lu Yu’Er had ordered them to do everything.

But there was no record of such a person.

And lying had been ruled out.

’That must be why they ended up in a mental hospital.’

He followed Ji Shi down another flight of stairs.

They descended two floors.

Fang Xiu was genuinely worried the building above might collapse.

Of course, this was basically just a basement, so it should be fine.

The first and second basement levels were both used to imprison Awakened criminals.

Each one was held behind an iron door.

Fang Xiu didn’t look too closely.

And it wasn’t like Yue Tianrui and Ji Shi were going to give him a tour.

When they reached the third basement level, there were still iron doors, but now they could hear a lot of shouting from within.

It really had the vibe of a place for the mentally ill from a TV drama.

Except here, all the mental patients were Awakened.

"Can the Awakened here not get past these iron doors?"

Fang Xiu was curious.

’Aren’t there any from the Power System among these Awakened in the mental hospital?’

’The iron doors look thick, but they’d be no match for someone from the Power System!’

"Everyone brought here is injected with a Potion every day. This Potion can suppress the Superpowers in their bodies."

Yue Tianrui explained.

Fang Xiu was surprised. He hadn’t expected such a Potion to exist.

’Looks like I’ll have to be wary of this sort of thing in the future.’

’After all, you never know if an enemy might be a doctor from an Awakened mental hospital.’

’They could hit you with a needle when you’re not looking.’

’And then it’d be game over.’

"Go bring those two here!"

Ji Shi said a few words to a woman.

He then led Fang Xiu and Yue Tianrui to his office.

Soon, the woman returned, bringing two men with her.

Fang Xiu recognized them as Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai.

But when Fang Xiu saw them, he was slightly surprised.

In his memory, Yu Boyuan had been decent-looking, but now he was nothing but skin and bones, his face pale and bloodless.

"Does this hospital of yours also abuse its patients?"

Fang Xiu asked bluntly.

’No matter how you look at it, this is abuse!’

"Heh, not at all. It’s just that they need to take their medication every day, which leaves them a bit weak!"

Ji Shi explained.

He seemed to find the situation completely unremarkable.

Even Yue Tianrui, standing to the side, didn’t seem to think anything of it.

Meanwhile, when Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai saw Fang Xiu, they were also stunned.

"Fang Xiu, you’re finally here!"

Yu Boyuan shouted.

Fang Xiu frowned slightly. ’This Yu Boyuan has been locked up for so long, and he still wants to fight?’

Hearing Yu Boyuan’s words, Ji Shi, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment.

He glanced at Fang Xiu again, a certain look in his eyes.

"Fang Xiu, please, I’m begging you, tell them that Lu Yu’Er is a real person, right?"

Fang Xiu had been ready to make a move.

He never expected Yu Boyuan to just start crying.

This was a scene Fang Xiu hadn’t anticipated.

"Are you Yu Boyuan or Nie Tai?"

Fang Xiu didn’t answer Yu Boyuan’s question.

He just asked one of his own.

Hearing this, Yu Boyuan was taken aback. "I... I’m Yu Boyuan!"

"Oh, Yu Boyuan. And how do you know me?"

Fang Xiu asked another question.

This time, both Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai were stunned.

They never imagined Fang Xiu would say something like that.

"You... you don’t remember us?"

Nie Tai asked in disbelief.

But Fang Xiu nodded and said, "I remember!"

Hearing this, Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

But Fang Xiu’s next words made them anxious all over again.

"You’re those two people from the school’s Gate World, the ones with the Awakened spider Talent!"

Fang Xiu said very seriously.

"No..."

Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai said anxiously, "What spider Talent? We went in there to kill you, and you turned the tables on us!"

"Kill me? We have no history and no grudges. Why would you want to kill me?"

Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed as he continued, "Besides, I’m just a Sacrificial Master. How could I possibly turn the tables on you? And aren’t you both alive and well? If you had come to kill me, and I was somehow able to kill you in return, would I have let you go?"

"This..."

For a moment, Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai were at a loss for words.

’The question... he has a point.’

’No, wait...’

"We don’t have a grudge, but you have one with Lu Yu’Er!"

Yu Boyuan snapped back to his senses.

He had almost been completely taken in by Fang Xiu’s logic.

"Lu Yu’Er... Who’s that?"

Fang Xiu looked at Yu Boyuan and asked in return.

"Lu Yu’Er, your school’s beauty!"

Yu Boyuan was getting agitated now, shouting.

Fang Xiu frowned slightly as if in thought, then said after a moment, "If I remember correctly, our school’s beauty is named Chu Qingxue, right? And we’re friends, so it couldn’t be her, could it?"

"Your school has two beauties, Chu Qingxue and Lu Yu’Er!"

Yu Boyuan’s voice grew even louder.

He seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown.

"I’ve investigated this. All the students at your school say that First Middle only has one school beauty, and her name is Chu Qingxue!"

Yue Tianrui added from the side.

He then took out his phone and played a video.

"First Middle’s school beauty? That’s Chu Qingxue!"

"Of course it’s Chu Qingxue!"

"Even though I think I’m prettier, the fact is, it’s Chu Qingxue."

"School beauty? There’s only ever been one, and that’s Chu Qingxue, the Chu University Beauty!"

"Chu Qingxue, yeah! She even Awakened an S Level Talent. She’s beautiful and powerful!"

"..."

One voice after another came from the phone.

By now, Yu Boyuan’s eyes were red. "No... it’s fake. This has to be fake! There has to be a person named Lu Yu’Er!"

"There has to be, there has to be!"

Yu Boyuan yelled, then turned to Nie Tai. "Nie Tai, you tell them! Wasn’t it Lu Yu’Er who called us?"

Nie Tai was silent for a moment.

A moment later, under the gazes of Fang Xiu and the others, he shook his head. "I... I don’t know. I don’t know any Lu Yu’Er. I only remember that you were the one who came to me about going to the school’s Gate World."

"You..."

Yu Boyuan never thought Nie Tai would say something like that.

Then he suddenly clutched his head. "Hiss... Impossible, impossible..."

The woman standing by rushed over and gave Yu Boyuan an injection.

A moment later, Yu Boyuan recovered.

But now, his eyes were filled with confusion.

"Lu Yu’Er... Lu Yu’Er..."

Yu Boyuan muttered to himself, "Who on earth is Lu Yu’Er?"

"Yu Boyuan, I’ll ask you one more time. Did Lu Yu’Er order you to go into the First Middle Gate World and kill Fang Xiu?"

Ji Shi, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

Hearing the question, Yu Boyuan seemed to fall silent for a moment before slowly speaking. "I don’t know... I don’t know who Lu Yu’Er is. What was I going to do in the First Middle Gate World? What was I even trying to do?"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu, Ji Shi, and Yue Tianrui all frowned.

Fang Xiu could tell that Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai weren’t acting.

Ji Shi and Yue Tianrui could see it too.

But they didn’t understand how the two men, who had just been swearing up and down that Lu Yu’Er was real,

could have ended up like this.

Only Fang Xiu knew the truth: their memories were likely disappearing as well.

Fang Xiu already knew that after Lu Yu’Er was Sacrificed, everyone’s memory of her had vanished.

Even everything related to her had vanished.

The Lu Family no longer knew they had such a daughter.

Only Fang Xiu, who had orchestrated the event, and Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai, who were standing before him, still remembered.

But as time went on, Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai’s memories seemed to be eroding bit by bit.

Only Fang Xiu, the one who performed the Sacrifice, would remember the name Lu Yu’Er forever.

The person who had brought him his Succubus!
