After they returned to school, they had a good night's rest. The next morning, someone from the First Military District came to their door.

The person who came was a strong man with a beard wearing a military uniform. Looking at the military title hanging on his chest, he was a major like Dai Baiyu.

Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect that it was just a record, but the First Military District would take it so seriously and let a major come in person.

He introduced himself as Lampson, doing clerical work in the First Military District.

Everyone looked at his burly figure that was almost bursting with buttons on his military uniform, and looked at the recorder that was not even as big as his palm, and always felt a little funny.

But Lampson looked rough, but he was actually very meticulous.

He asked Wright for an empty meeting room and invited them in one by one. Although everyone's testimonies were slightly different, they were basically the same.

The last to go in were Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong.

Gu Xingmian was a little nervous because it was his first time experiencing such a battle.

Unexpectedly, Lampson's attitude was quite gentle, and he was even a little curious about him: "Are you a UR card?"

Gu Xingmian nodded.

However, Lampson only asked this question, and then began to ask about what happened after they met Ruohua.

Gu Xingmian started talking about how he suddenly found that everyone had fainted, and the car crashed into the flower wall, until later he planned to save people, and together with several other cards, he smashed Ruohua's face and stabbed her with a dagger.

"You're not hurt?" Lampson asked curiously, "Is it the skill of the UR card?"

Lampson and his teammates had killed a Ruohua before, and he knew how powerful the digestive juices sprayed by the stamens were.

Moreover, the two God Cards with Gu Xingmian were both injured. When Gu Xingmian killed Ruohua, he was facing the stamens directly. How could he not be hurt at all? Unless there was some skill that blocked the damage, there was no explanation.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xingmian shook his head: "I don't have the skills to protect myself."

Lampson was even more shocked: "Then how did you get away?"

When Gu Xingmian just came in, he subconsciously noticed the way he walked and the details. Although the judgment standards for humans cannot be directly applied to cards, Gu Xingmian's appearance did not seem to be strong enough to avoid the digestive fluid that covered the sky.

Gu Xingmian told Lampson about the brain sharing between him and Xiao Qiong.

Lampson had never heard of the brain sharing, but Gu Xingmian said it with confidence, so he turned his curious eyes to Xiao Qiong.

Xiao Qiong had been silent since he entered the conference room. When he saw Lampson looking at him, he said lightly: "Major, don't you believe in my ability?"

Lampson said "tsk", "Little classmate is very arrogant!"

Xiao Qiong rolled up his sleeves, his eyebrows were cold, but inexplicably provocative: "Major, can you give it a try?"

Before Lampson changed his job to a civilian position, he was also ranked among the best in physical training in the First Military Region. Although he has changed his job to a civilian position, he has not fallen behind in training. He has been looking for people to fight every day. Seeing this, he suddenly felt itchy: "Come and practice with me, let me see if you really have this ability!"

Because it was a physical training competition, the two did not choose a place, and fought in the conference room.

The small space in the conference room is actually more of a test of physical training and body skills.

Lampson only felt that Xiao Qiong was a slippery guy, not only did he have a quick reaction and great strength, but he also didn't know what his bones and muscles were made of. He could always make many incredible movements and dodge Lampson accurately.

Lampson was big in size, but very flexible. Moreover, the conference room was so small, but he couldn't touch Xiao Qiong's sleeve for five minutes, which was simply unbelievable to him.

Xiao Qiong: "Did the major believe it?"

Lampson rarely felt so aggrieved, but he also realized that this kid really had some skills.

If, as Gu Xingmian said, the so-called shared brain could allow him to completely replicate Xiao Qiong's reaction and movements, then it was normal for him to dodge the digestive fluid.

He sat back in his chair and glanced at the recorder, which had recorded and analyzed what Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong said. The result showed that they were not lying.

Lampson breathed a sigh of relief. The two pieces of evidence corroborated each other, and he completely believed what Gu Xingmian said.

After he recorded what the two said, he asked, "Did you take the blood crystal?"

Gu Xingmian nodded and took out the blood crystal.

The blood crystal was about the size of a finger joint, dark red in color, crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, like a piece of extremely pure ruby.

However, when Lampson saw the blood crystal, his brows wrinkled slightly.

He took out a machine and measured the blood crystal. The remaining aura on it was 99.99% similar to the aura left in the gap in the defense line before, which basically confirmed that it was the same evil spirit.

In the army, they divided the levels of evil spirits from high to low into S, A, B, C, D, and E. The higher the level, the stronger the evil spirit.

But according to the previous report from Alfonso and others, including the appearance of Ruohua described by Gu Xingmian, it proved that this evil spirit should have been close to A level, and the color of the blood crystal exploded was darker.

An A-level evil spirit would require at least a small team in the army to deal with. Now, an A-level Ruohua was dealt with by a few God Cards. Although Ruohua's strongest confusion has no effect on God Cards, and Ruohua herself is relatively weak among evil spirits, it is still shocking enough.

If not, Lampson would not be sent to take notes for them.

But this piece of blood crystal is only C-level, close to B-level.

It's a full level lower!

How is it possible? !

What went wrong? !

Helplessly, he asked Gu Xingmian to describe Ruohua's appearance again.

Gu Xingmian was a little puzzled, but still listened to him and said it in detail.

Lampson: "You said he was kneeling like a human, then did you see his hands and feet?"

Gu Xingmian thought for a moment: "He was wearing a big-sleeved shirt, which covered these parts, so I couldn't see clearly, but at first glance, he did look like a human..."

Under Lampson's questioning, Gu Xingmian recalled in detail, especially the face full of mouthparts, which still makes him lose sanity when he thinks about it now.

Lampson listened and said nothing.

Gu Xingmian asked him curiously: "Major Lampson, do you have any other questions?"

"Nothing." Lampson came back to his senses.

He looked at the contents of the recorder, and then at the blood crystal on the table, and he was simply at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The appearance of this blood crystal almost completely overturned his previous speculation.

But if you think about it carefully, neither Alfonso nor he had seen the Ruohua with their own eyes, and the breath left behind might not be accurate. After all, it broke in from outside the defense line, and it was possible that the judgment was wrong.

And the most important thing is this blood crystal.

The speculation may be wrong, but the blood crystal is ironclad evidence.

Moreover, a few God Cards destroyed a Ruohua that was less than B-level. Compared with them destroying an A-level Ruohua, it is more reasonable to think about it.

Lampson convinced himself and put away the recorder.

Gu Xingmian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lampson was very friendly, it was not a good feeling to be interrogated.

They followed Lampson out of the meeting room, and other students immediately surrounded them.

"Is it over?"

"It really is an evil spirit!"

Some brave ones asked Lampson directly: "Major Lampson, is there something wrong with the Feilong defense line? Why are there evil spirits here?"

Lampson smiled and said: "Although the defense line can resist most evil spirits, it is not omnipotent. There have always been evil spirits in the towns close to the defense line. The military district and the guard will solve the problem as soon as they receive the news and will not let them run deeper into the town. It's just that Ruohua was more cunning this time, and her breath was better concealed, so she caused such a big mess."

Fred grew up in a small town on the border of Feilong. He nodded and said: "As Major Lampson said, our town was invaded by evil spirits, but it was quickly resolved."

Other classmates whose hometowns were on the border said similar things.

Everyone was relieved.

Lampson took the recorder, said hello to Mr. Wright, and left.

As soon as he came out, he saw Dai Baiyu waiting at the door.

"Oh my god! Old Dai, why are you here!" Lampson looked at Dai Baiyu in surprise, and then punched him.

But Dai Baiyu knew what kind of person he was, and he fought with him expressionlessly.

The two exchanged dozens of moves in an instant.

While playing, Lampson did not forget to chat with Dai Baiyu: "I forgot that you are a teacher here."

Dai Baiyu frowned: "When I heard Wright say that it was you who came to take the statement, I was surprised. I thought he made a mistake. I didn't expect it was really you!"

Wright gave the students a holiday yesterday, and Dai Baiyu took the opportunity to go out. He came back this morning, but when he came back, he heard that such a big thing had happened, and the person who came to take the statement was actually Lampson.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem with the evil spirit?"

"No problem." Lampson was a little embarrassed when talking about his misjudgment, and told the whole story, "If I had known it was just a B-level evil spirit, I wouldn't have had to make a trip."

Dai Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously, "But how could there be a problem with the defense line? I remember August said before that the temple sounded the alarm..."

Before he could finish his words, Lampson seized the opportunity, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and was about to throw him out.

But Dai Baiyu's next move was extremely stable, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to knock Lampson down. Unexpectedly, Lampson suddenly jumped back a few steps: "No more fighting! Let's eat first. I came here so early in the morning and haven't eaten anything. Now I'm so hungry that I'm almost fainting. Let's eat and talk at the same time."

Dai Baiyu: "..."

Although he was speechless, he still took Lampson to the cafeteria, ordered some food, and found a secluded corner.

Lampson was indeed hungry. He ate all the dishes on the table in a hurry. After finishing, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I'm alive."

Dai Baiyu held a glass of water and said impatiently: "Hurry up, what's wrong with the defense line?"

He and Lampson were both injured by the God Card, so they turned to clerical jobs and had a good relationship as colleagues.

Therefore, facing him, Lampson did not hide anything: "Actually, it's just an oolong."

Dai Baiyu: "?"

Lampson said: "You know there are some very cheap high-level auxiliary cards on the market recently?"

Dai Baiyu nodded. He also bought a few when he went out yesterday.

Lampson said helplessly: "Those brats in the guard team have recently bought a lot of these auxiliary cards, and then they went to kill the evil spirits without knowing the sky and the earth. They didn't know that they had no control and attacked the defense line, which loosened the defense line. They thought they were fine, so they went back, but who knew that Ruohua broke a gap and escaped in."

Dai Baiyu: "..."

He never thought that it would be this reason.

In fact, such things have happened in the past. After all, the defense line is too long, and it is impossible for every inch to be guarded. There will always be some accidents.

Lampson and his friends went through it and were speechless after knowing the cause and effect.

Otherwise, how can you say that you are not afraid of opponents like gods, but you are afraid of teammates like pigs.

However, when Dai Baiyu received the warning from the temple, Lampson remembered something and said, "Don't tell me, we did find some problems during this inspection."

Dai Baiyu's heart suddenly tensed up.

"Don't be nervous." Lampson said quickly, "We just found that several defense lines have been in disrepair for a long time, so we need to repair them."

But Dai Baiyu thought about it and said, "That's not right. Didn't we repair it once when we inspected it two years ago? It's only been a short time!"

This defense line against evil spirits is a wall made of several special materials. These materials are provided by the temple and need to be repaired every once in a while. The temple said that the attacks of evil spirits will damage the defense line, so new materials must be added continuously.

The defense line can completely block the evil spirits from entering, which is very important for all military regions.

It just so happens that only the temple has these materials, which is why all the military districts have been holding back from the temple.

These materials are extremely expensive, but in the past, one repair could last for five or six years, so everyone tolerated it. But this time, only two years have passed, why do they need to replenish again?

Lampson sneered: "The general also found it strange, so he called the communicators of several other military districts, and guess what, they all had problems!!"

Dai Baiyu was shocked: "How could it be?!"

"Several generals didn't believe it either, so they went to the central city in person." Lampson's expression became even colder. "The temple didn't admit it at first, saying that the attacks by evil spirits had increased in recent years, so the defense line was damaged faster than before. Later, when they were forced into a corner, they admitted that it was the priests in charge of transporting materials who passed off inferior materials as good ones and enriched themselves."

"This is the defense line!" Dai Baiyu couldn't help but say, "Do they know how many people will die if they do this?!"

"How could they not know!" Lampson pounded the table angrily. "If they didn't know, why did they suddenly warn all the military commands in such a weird way? But they didn't explain the reason. If the general hadn't found something wrong and went to confront them, they would still want to hide it. Besides, what priest? I think he is a scapegoat. Otherwise, with such a large amount of materials having problems, a priest would be so bold as to do this!"

Dai Baiyu frowned. "But if it is really the temple's intention, isn't it too obvious for them to do this? Aren't they afraid of being exposed and being attacked by the five major military commands?"

"Who knows!" Lampson cursed viciously. "That bunch of old bastards who only think about interests!"

Dai Baiyu rarely did not abide by the "Military Code of Conduct" and stopped Lampson from insulting the temple.

But scolding is useless, the Temple is still high and mighty, they control the defense line, they control the five major military districts.

Dai Baiyu still has doubts in his heart, thinking that the Temple can't do such a stupid thing, there may be some inside story that they don't know.

Lampson was dry-mouthed, took a big sip of water, and then continued: "Fortunately, the five major military districts put pressure on it at the same time, and the Temple was in the right, and the materials for this repair are free."

At this point, Lampson sighed again, "Before, there were not enough patrols, so the captains and elite members of the guards of each city were all transferred. Now that this has happened, they can't go back for the time being. If not, those guys in the guards wouldn't have caused such a big mess."

Dai Baiyu also sighed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Lampson said again, "The disciples you lead are quite interesting."

Dai Baiyu realized that he was talking about Xiao Qiong and the others: "What's wrong?"

Lampson told Dai Baiyu about Gu Xingmian's use of several God Cards to destroy the B-level Ruohua, but concealed the fact that he couldn't touch the corner of Xiao Qiong's clothes for five minutes.

"Although it's a B-level Ruohua, it's also very powerful. It seems that in this four-school league, Mosca College may be able to turn the tide and become a dark horse!"

Dai Baiyu was led astray by him and smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words."

After Lampson left, the students also went back to the dormitory in twos and threes to rest.

Because the four-school league match was coming up, Wright was afraid that something might happen to them again, so he didn't allow them to run around anymore. He even arranged fewer classes for them to give them time to adjust.

Gu Xingmian yawned, tears streaming from his eyes because of sleepiness.

Xiao Qiong: "Are you very sleepy?"

"Yeah." Gu Xingmian said, and couldn't help yawning again, "Maybe I used up a lot of energy when I killed Ruohua before. I just need to rest for a few days..."

Xiao Qiong thought about it, but didn't know how to start.

Gu Xingmian saw that he was hesitant to speak, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to ask me?"

Xiao Qiong hesitated for a moment, but still told Gu Xingmian about the melted gift in his pocket.

The shock on Gu Xingmian's face didn't seem fake: "You mean, I was actually splashed with that digestive fluid?!"

Xiao Qiong said honestly: "It's very likely."

Gu Xingmian rolled up his sleeves and the hem of his clothes: "But I really don't have any injuries at all!"

Xiao Qiong was caught off guard by the sight of a snow-white belly. Although they had been to the bathhouse together, he still looked away uncomfortably.

Gu Xingmian checked himself, but there was really no small wound.

Xiao Qiong came back to his senses and said in a concealing manner: "There are two possibilities. One is that you have awakened a new skill, which may be a healing skill, or it may be the protective skill that Major Lampson mentioned."

"But I really don't have this memory..." Gu Xingmian frowned, "I just remember that after I smashed that ugly thing, I threw Harman back on Ella's back, then jumped down with a dagger and stabbed him, then he screamed, and I fainted."

Gu Xingmian's face was full of distress, "I don't have any memory of what you said, I thought we shared a brain, so we avoided that digestive fluid..."

Xiao Qiong pondered for a moment: "Maybe your memory has also been modified."

Gu Xingmian's eyes widened. He only heard that Xiao Qiong and others had been circulating in painful and terrible memories after entering Ruohua's realm. He didn't expect this to happen again.

Xiao Qiong told Gu Xingmian his memories after entering the Ruohua realm: "At that time, everything related to you in my memory disappeared completely. I wonder if your situation now is the same as mine, with important memories taken away." Gu Xingmian was

still worrying about what had happened to him, and suddenly heard these words, stunned for a moment: "Important...important memories?"

Xiao Qiong was also stunned, realizing what he had said, and suddenly a sense of tension and embarrassment rose in his heart, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red. He coughed uncomfortably: "For a card master, the God Card should be the most important..."

If Xiao Qiong hadn't explained, Gu Xingmian might not have thought too much about it, but when he said this, it seemed like he was trying to cover up the truth.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiong has dark skin, so the redness on the tips of his ears cannot be seen, otherwise Gu Xingmian would probably be even more panicked.

He tried hard to control his wandering thoughts and changed the subject to the right track: "What you mean is, Ruohua took away my memory, but I won't be affected by him, right? Otherwise, I would have entered a nightmare cycle like you guys from the beginning."

He rubbed his forehead. Because of the drowsiness, his mind was like a paste: "So, I may have awakened some skills, or treatment or protection, but I was affected by Ruohua and lost this memory... Well, what about another possibility?"

Xiao Qiong was silent for a moment: "There is another possibility. You devoured Ruohua's ability, but were affected by it."

These words woke Gu Xingmian up: "What does this mean?!"

Xiao Qiong's eyes fell on his pocket, where Ruohua's blood crystal was placed.

Gu Xingmian inexplicably took out the blood crystal: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Qiong: "Do you remember Major Lampson said that they judged that Ruohua might be an evil spirit close to Class A?"

"But didn't he make a wrong judgment?" Gu Xingmian asked in confusion.

Xiao Qiong: "What if he is right."

Gu Xingmian was shocked.

If Lampson was right, it was an A-level Ruohua, but after he killed him, he only got a B-level blood crystal. This level of energy... was swallowed by him? !

Others only thought that Gu Xingmian consumed auxiliary cards to release skills, but since Xiao Qiong learned the relationship between star patterns and blood crystals from Grove, and knew that Gu Xingmian controlled star patterns to affect auxiliary cards, he guessed whether Gu Xingmian's source of power was blood crystals.

Therefore, when Xiao Qiong saw the corroded gift, these thoughts flashed through his mind.

He didn't know how Gu Xingmian would be treated if Lampson knew about this and reported it to the military district.

The power to devour evil spirits, even if he knew that Gu Xingmian would not be affected, would the military believe it?

Would they be afraid that Gu Xingmian would become an evil spirit and therefore destroy him?

Xiao Qiong's experiences since childhood made him unable to believe in human nature, so the moment he saw the corrupted gift, he destroyed it quietly.

Gu Xingmian's fingers were cold, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

No wonder Xiao Qiong was a little weird today, deliberately provoking Lampson to fight with him, and maintaining a taciturn image throughout the whole process, because he knew that the recorder had a lie detector function, so he did this deliberately to mislead Lampson into thinking that Gu Xingmian could avoid digestive juices because he shared a brain with him.

Gu Xingmian stared at him blankly: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn into a monster?"

"You won't!" Xiao Qiong said firmly.

"Why?" Gu Xingmian couldn't help but ask.

Even he himself didn't dare to be so sure.

Xiao Qiong raised the corners of his lips slightly and touched his head: "Do you still remember the scene every time you and I shared the brain?"

Gu Xingmian was stunned for a moment.

"Every time, it was to protect others." Xiao Qiong said softly, "If you can turn into a monster like this, then maybe the world of monsters will be better."
