Chapter 2012: Chapter 2012: Unsealing the mories
A living person was strapped to the operating table, unconscious.
In a relatively low field of vision, Xu Huo could see half of the person’s profile, an arm placed alongside the body, an exposed chest, fat thighs, and slightly deford calves and left foot.
The person’s chest rose and fell rhythmically, appearing to be asleep, not in pain.
As the sound of footsteps approached, Xu Huo turned around and saw Doctor Zhang in a white lab coat coming over.
Unlike the generally mild person in past mories, the present Doctor Zhang had a distinct coldness. He carried a tray with various dissection tools and said expressionlessly, “Yesterday you saw a corpse’s post-autopsy state, today, observe the difference between living and dead bodies.”
The view in the mory rotated slightly, as young Xu Huo dragged a low stool over, climbed up steadily, and said, “Teacher, you may begin…”
Xu Huo slamd the book in his hand onto the table. The veins bulged on his hand due to excessive force, enveloping him in an aura of anger and hatred while his nose bled, dripping onto his clothes.
There might be two reasons for the sequelae: one, the spiritual evolution was too rapid, his body’s evolution couldn’t keep up, causing symptoms like headache and nosebleed after prolonged use of psychic power; two, as his spiritual evolution progressed, repressed mories began to slowly revive, and the shadow persona inherently possessed powerful force, its awakening exerted ntal pressure on him.
It now seems the recovery of mory had a greater impact, and these flashing fragnts confird Xu Huo’s premonition—a shadow persona indeed sealed away so undesirable things. The mory fragnts had progressed to the point he referred to Doctor Zhang as “teacher”…
This not only indicated he experienced a complete and violent brainwashing in childhood but also suggested that the brainwashing might have been successful, he wasn’t the failed product abandoned by Doctor Zhang as he thought.
He previously believed Doctor Zhang wanted high-IQ sociopathic students like Xue Lang, thus abandoning him who wasn’t fully nurtured, but if Doctor Zhang had succeeded… why hadn’t Doctor Zhang co looking for him, he wasn’t sure, yet it did remind him of sothing else:
Was Xu Zhi really killed by Doctor Zhang?
If the shadow persona sealed a student that Doctor Zhang successfully cultivated, did the equally lost mory regarding Xu Zhi’s death involve the shadow persona too?
At this mont, Xu Huo’s eyes were as cold and deep as a ghostly sea.
He then turned his gaze to the nearby dining table. After the “Weight of Life” exerted equal pressure on everyone, sealing the dining room with the spiritual world, materialized items, the secant line, and spatial rays appeared simultaneously, frantically tearing open the defensive barrier of the offensive player, swiftly slicing them from head to toe in two!
The temporary sinking of the train due to the “Weight of Life” had yet to disappear, and the player who provoked Xu Huo before dinner died on the spot. Blood soaked into the originally red carpet, making it even more vivid, though the scene was rather unsightly.
The entire process took only a few seconds. The train quickly returned to calm, and Xu Huo, now cald, wiped the blood from his nose, stood up, and without looking at anyone else in the dining room, returned to his compartnt.
Indeed, just as the female player said, there were nine people left in the compartnt, the triplets still sitting in the sa positions, their box’s placent angle unchanged. Other players were either in a single compartnt or kept a distance from them. No bodies were visible in the compartnt, but traces of uncleaned blood remained.
The female player also returned, but she was much quieter this ti, not trying to talk to Xu Huo, instead sitting in the corner.
They spent the night without incident, as the train announced in advance that they would be passing through an alien habitat, so all the players behaved. However, by midnight, everyone beca sowhat drowsy.
Most players who boarded were fatigued from long journeys, so feeling tired was normal, but it was strange that so many were dozing off simultaneously. Xu Huo, who was feeling unusually exhausted from prolonged headaches, suddenly awoke just before falling asleep. He looked sharply at the triplets’ position and realized, at an unknown ti, their boxes were all slightly ajar, seemingly emitting so gas.
Covering his mouth and nose, Xu Huo noticed the female player and two other players were already fully equipped with protective suits. Upon noticing his gaze, the female player waved at him, then pointed to the other two and the triplets, signaling him to attack from both sides.
Xu Huo nodded, but did not expect the triplets to not evade their attack, one of whom deflated like an inflatable doll under an item attack.
“What’s going on?” A player asked in confusion, then stabbed the other two, with the sa result.
The female player went over, picked one up, and upon feeling it, said, “This is a kind of protective material, the person probably disembarked halfway.”
She prepared to check the nearby boxes again, but Xu Huo stopped her, closing the boxes, “No matter what’s inside, don’t open it now.”
The three weren’t foolish, they of course knew the boxes didn’t contain anything good. However, they didn’t understand why the triplets, having disembarked early, would release a potion that put players to sleep—what would be the purpose of this?
After a pause, Xu Huo suddenly asked, “Are there similar boxes in other compartnts?”
The female player and others were shocked, and the next second, the train suddenly jolted, followed by an ergency brake, coming to a direct stop on the tracks within seconds!
This commotion naturally awakened all the players in the carriage, before they could react, a loud crashing sound resonated from the front compartnt, along with clawing sounds against the carriage wall!
“What happened!” A player asked, slightly panicked.
It wasn’t uncommon for the train to encounter aliens, but forcing the train to a stop was a different level of incident, so so soon tried heading to the front compartnt to find the train staff.
“Why wasn’t there any notification for such a major event, what’s actually happening now?”
The train descended into chaos, especially as the crashing noise clearly began moving towards the rear, players not only used defensive props to protect the compartnt and transition compartnt but also equipped different night vision devices or props to observe the outside, however surprisingly, despite hearing the sound of sothing hitting the train, no one saw what was outside the train, leading to speculation:
“Is what’s attacking the train aliens or players?”
Most were Rank-B and Rank-C players, and they no longer naively assud only aliens appeared near the tracks. Especially in cases resembling remote attacks, but this guess was quickly overturned, as soone shouted, “There’s a shadow! Seems transparent!”
