"Besides, it's not like we won't compensate her, so it's harmless."
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after Gu Qingze promised not to put himself in danger, Chu Lingxiao relaxed completely and began to analyze the pros and cons without any emotion.
This feeling made Gu Qingze feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he knew that those courtesans were treated like that. Although his emotions had stabilized on the surface, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Everything Ling Xiao said is based on the premise that she can recover her memory. At the very least, she can recover some of her memory. But we don't have the ability to restore her memory."
Fortunately, Gu Qingze has good adaptability and is not a stubborn person. After a while, he rejoined his thinking and raised his own questions.
"I have a way." Chu Lingxiao said with a chuckle, raising the corners of his mouth slightly with some pride.
"Then the powerful Ling Xiao, can you tell me what the solution is?"
Gu Qingze showed an expectant expression and asked questions very cooperatively.
Chu Lingxiao waved his hand, motioning him to come over. Just like before, when Gu Qingze came over, he whispered in his ear again.
After Chu Lingxiao left his ear and stepped back, Gu Qingze was still confused.
"Is this really... okay?" Gu Qingze asked uncertainly, "Just a sentence like this, completely illogical and without a beginning or an end, can immediately evoke her memory. This is too..."
He originally wanted to say "This is too much", but Chu Lingxiao looked serious and didn't seem to be pretending or joking, so he stopped the words on his lips.
"Of course, it's the 'secret code.' Do you know what a 'secret code' is? Just like you need a key to open a lock, her brain is like a door that has been sealed for a long time, and the 'secret code' is like the key to open this door."
Chu Lingxiao explained patiently.
"Because directly erasing her memory or messing with her mind would turn her into a madman. But for their purpose, they needed her to have independent consciousness, so they must have just sealed her memory."
"Since only the memory is sealed, there must be a way to awaken and restore it."
Chu Lingxiao tapped his chin lightly with his knuckles, pretending to be thinking, and analyzed.
"Through this divergent thinking, I first thought of the simple and quick method of 'secret language'."
"After all, erasing the memories of so many courtesans cannot be a particularly tedious process. There are too many of them and it would be difficult to operate."
He held up three of his fingers. "As we all know, there are three ways to hide memories. The other two are either too complicated or not quick enough, so only the 'secret language' meets the requirements."
"And it's well known that the 'secret language' setting requires the caster to use spiritual power while whispering to the person being cast."
"Although I didn't see the caster clearly, I heard his voice from her memory."
"Among all these words, this one is the most illogical. Excluding the possibility that the caster has mental problems and likes to talk nonsense, the most likely "secret code" is this."
Chu Lingxiao's inferences were quite reasonable. Unlike Song Jinnian's wild and unrealistic ones, they were all based on evidence.
"If she was just an ordinary oiran, then I completely agree with Ling Xiao's inference, but the problem now is that she is not an ordinary oiran, but the chief oiran."
Gu Qingze specifically emphasized the importance of her identity.
"If ordinary courtesans are compared to the 'small gears' in this system, although they are indispensable, they can be replaced at any time. Then the chief courtesan is a special 'special gear' that is relatively special. Although it can be replaced, it is very troublesome and accounts for a relatively large proportion."
"Since the chief courtesan is more important than the ordinary courtesans in that plan, they should use more complicated procedures. Why would they use the same... crude method of 'secret language' as the ordinary courtesans?"
"I think Ling Xiao's inference here is a bit... unreasonable."
Gu Qingze said this seriously and raised his hand, looking like a perfect "good student".
Although Chu Lingxiao didn't understand his strange subconscious actions, he still raised his eyebrows, spread his hands, and replied with a doting look of "I really can't do anything about you".
"But Qingze, you have to know that this information I learned from the former chief courtesan. It was obtained from her memory and has a basis."
"What else? Ordinary courtesans could also have their memories hidden and be subjected to 'secret codes'. That's what I came up with from this divergent thinking."
"It's also possible that ordinary courtesans... Oh no, the plan doesn't require that many courtesans. Maybe only some of the ordinary courtesans will have special treatment like deliberately hiding their memories."
Chu Lingxiao raised his eyes and looked at him steadily, "Qingze, you've been here for so long, there must be a familiar courtesan, right? Does she still remember her experience before coming to the brothel?"
When Gu Qingze heard this, he subconsciously thought of Jinluo and how she was sent to a brothel by her family to pay off their debts.
She clearly has memories of the time before she entered the brothel...So Ling Xiao might be right, maybe only some of the courtesans were treated like that and became part of the plan.
Although he was convinced, Gu Qingze still felt unsure and weakly refuted.
"I......."
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Chu Lingxiao continued.
"Just like Qingze said earlier, although 'gears' are important, they are not irreplaceable. There is no need to use such cumbersome steps to hide memories."
