After saying goodbye to Kotaro, Cheng Shi returned to the rooftop rest area.

He had been thinking about how to set up a scheme to guide Ultraman's identity to that of Yuxi, but after thinking about it, he felt that this trick could at most make the players in this game recognize Ultraman's identity. As for those [Chaos] believers who had long been submerged in the long river of history, it was naturally impossible for them to convert to Yuxi.

But this is enough. Compared to the long-lost Island of Hope, in this era, the players' faith is obviously more important.

This matter must be done quietly, leaving clues for the smart people in the game or the historical school to discover the problem themselves, thereby exposing Ultraman's identity. Only in this way will players believe that history has long been tampered with by [fraud].

Cheng Shi thought about this for a long time until a phone call interrupted his thoughts.

Cheng Shi was stunned and looked towards the warehouse. Although he hadn't answered the call yet, he seemed to have guessed who was on the other end of the line.

He raised his eyebrows, walked quickly to the warehouse, and the first sentence he said when he answered the phone left the other party speechless:

"It's me."

“…”

After hearing these two words, the person on the other side fell silent, and after a while he chuckled.

"You have indeed escaped from the mirror!

I sat outside the mirror for a long time, but I didn't see you. I thought maybe you had escaped by other means, so I called you.

So Cheng Shi, how did you do it?"

Cheng Shi was happy. He really wanted to say, "Grandpa has a good idea," but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

The Dragon King was probably moved for a long time by the fact that he had exchanged his body for him. It was a rare opportunity for the other party to owe him a favor, so he couldn't let it go. So he smiled and said:

"Is this considered the first memory exchange?"

"......" Li Jingming on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "Not really, I just asked my doubts. Whether to answer or not is up to you."

"?"

No, why don’t you play by the rules?

What kind of new scam is this?

Using emotional cards to get other people's memories for free?

Don't think that I have to confess everything just because you speak so freely. It's not easy for a grandfather with his old arms and legs to save his grandson. If you don't speak up today, you will be sorry for the teasing of the God of Fun on me.

Just when Cheng Shi was wondering how to ask Li Jingming what he saw, Li Jingming took the initiative to speak.

"Now that you're out of trouble, I guess you're wondering what memories I witnessed."

?

Cheng Shi's expression froze.

I didn't! Stop talking nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation.

"Well, this is something I should have shared with you, but you already know what I witnessed. If you don't mind, I can tell you again."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Shi frowned and asked with a hint of surprise, "You relived your past!?"

Li Jingming nodded, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Yes, I chose my past."

“!!!”

Cheng Shi was stunned. He originally thought that the Dragon King would never choose his own memory over the memories of the Clowns. After all, the other party's original purpose was to calculate the Clown's memory and remember it. He had even been thinking about how he should respond and how he should recall it if the Dragon King chose his memory.

But what no one expected was that this [Memory] believer who always memorized new memories actually memorized a memory repeatedly.

"Why?" Cheng Shi asked curiously.

Li Jingming chuckled and replied:

"I've said before that I always keep in mind the memories of this world, thinking about what I can do for this world.

But I am an ordinary person after all. Although I was born into a Taoist family, I cannot get rid of the seven emotions and six desires. I also have my own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

And when I stood before the memories of the clowns, when I saw my master's face appear before my eyes in another way again, I realized that sometimes I should also remember something for myself.

I don't have a photographic memory, and I can remember about eighty to ninety percent of the days I spent at Yunye Temple. But even the remaining one or two tenths are a wonderful memory.

So I chose to step back in time and grow up again in Yunye Temple. I memorized every blade of grass and tree, every flower and soil, every house and tile, every master and apprentice there, so that my memories would have no regrets...

I think you must have chosen to go back to the past.

I can see the love in your father's eyes. It turns out that you are moving forward all this way for him..."

The Dragon King's tone was full of emotion and sighs, but to Cheng Shi it sounded completely different.

You know, the memory before the starting point was just the scene when Lao Jia came to adopt me. The two had just met at that time. Even if Lao Jia took a fancy to me, where did such a deep fatherly love come from that could be seen by the Dragon King?

So he immediately exposed the Dragon King's lies and sneered:

"Okay, I know you're nostalgic, but before returning to Yunye Temple, you must have read a lot of other people's memories, right?

Did you walk along the maze for a long time, get a lot of free stuff, and then turn back to choose Yunye Temple?

I was wondering why you reminded me to choose a certain path the first time you entered that dream and nightmare. Could it be that in other people's memories, I didn't get out of it and had to go back?

Tsk, Dragon King, oh Dragon King, you have come to this day, what, are you interested in my profession?"

“…”

The scene was so awkward that the person on the other end of the phone even stopped breathing.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Cheng Shi knew that he had guessed it right. His eyes rolled, and evil thoughts surged in his heart. He deliberately let out a few "kuku" sounds of suppressed laughter from this end to make the other party's situation even worse, just as a way to squeeze the Dragon King for lying.

He doesn't care how much of the other person's surface memory he has seen. He only cares about how much of others' memories the other person has seen and how much of others' memories he should share.

Li Jingming was silent for a long time, then he sighed and smiled with relief:

“This time I admit defeat.

I knew this game was dangerous, but I still insisted on taking the gamble because I didn't want you to know how embarrassed I was.

I was lost in the mirror, with no way out. I couldn't find the clowns' deep memories, and I used up a lot of my props. I had no choice but to retrace my steps and finally meet you...

However, after this incident, I also discovered that it is okay to remember memories, but remembering other people's memories in every detail will shake a person's consciousness.

This is different from acting, it's more like splitting.

Perhaps this is also a way to split a new personality, but this method is too dangerous, even gods would not try it.

Otherwise, His collection should be filled with a wide variety of uninterrupted memories, rather than just a single masterpiece."

These words resonated with Cheng Shi.

He had just walked through the garbage dump of memory, where all kinds of memories could indeed make people become confused and even polluted into the same memory garbage.

But he was obviously not fooled by this rhetoric, and instead snorted and laughed:

"So, don't change the subject. Tell me as much as you've seen. I'm also curious about what's in the surface memories of the clowns."
