Wang Chengye said in a low voice, "It's okay, let's give it a try. What if it works? As long as we can find Ye Hong, I'll do anything."
Qiao He quickly said, "But there's something I need to tell you beforehand. After I enter your consciousness space, I might see some of your past memories. In other words, if you have any private matters... I might also see them."
Wang Chengye smiled and said, "It's alright. I don't actually have many shady things to hide."
Qiao He hummed in agreement: "Okay, I'll start now. Relax and don't resist."
Wang Chengye leaned back in his chair, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "Let's begin, Miss Qiao."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao He activated her mental abilities and successfully entered Wang Chengye's consciousness space. In fact, this was not the first time she had entered. Previously, it was because Wang Chengye refused to face reality and sealed his heart away, which was somewhat similar to autism or dissociative identity disorder.
He didn't want to face such a cruel reality, so he found a "stand-in" to act in his place inside the mutated rat's body.
He chose to escape, hoping that as long as he refused to wake up, the past events and pain would no longer torment his heart day and night.
Last time, Qiao He forced her way in, which took quite a bit of effort. At that time, Qiao He had nowhere else to go.
This time, Wang Chengye showed no resistance, and Qiao He entered his consciousness space in a second.
This place is no longer a vast expanse of white; it's more like a movie theater or a private viewing room filled with countless DVDs.
After Qiao He took her seat, she began searching for fragments of memory about Ye Hong.
At first, Qiao He couldn't find him no matter how hard she looked, because Wang Chengye's memory fragments were very chaotic, perhaps related to his past experiences, so it was really difficult to find him.
Qiao He searched slowly, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao He finally found the memory disc of Wang Chengye meeting Ye Hong.
She took it out and started the movie.
Rather than saying that these fragments of memory were remembered by Wang Chengye, it would be more accurate to say that they were "films" left behind by his subconscious and bodily memories.
Qiao He saw Wang Chengye's feelings when he first came to this base. He was surprised and delighted, and hoped that his own base could become just as powerful.
However, he knew he was helpless because Ye Hong was a strong person, while he was not.
After meeting Ye Hong, Qiao He knew about that experience, which involved negotiation and various forms of coercion and enticement.
Actually, there were quite a few bribes, because Wang Chengye is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
Ye Hong had met many people, and he knew exactly how to deal with Wang Chengye the moment he saw him.
Sometimes Qiao He really felt that Ye Hong was a very skilled PUA master, at least much more capable than the Qiao family. He always had a kind of power that made people believe in him and follow him, not only because of his powerful superpowers, but also because of his cunning and scheming.
Qiao He raised an eyebrow slightly and continued reading. Sure enough, just as Wang Chengye had said, his memory had fallen into darkness. He didn't know what had happened during that pitch-black period, as if he had been under anesthesia.
But Qiao He was not giving up; she continued searching through the chaotic fragments of her memories.
After searching for an unknown amount of time, just as Qiao He was about to give up, she suddenly spotted a unique video.
It was a dark background, but the touch and sensation of the body recorded that experience completely.
Qiao He "released" the film, and at that moment, she seemed to share the same feelings as Wang Chengye!
It seemed that Ye Hong placed her on the operating table, with Qiao Yuan and Qiao Yimu watching from the side. Qiao Yimu said, "Brother Ye, all I need to do next is sew the rat's brain back to his, right?"
"What if this person dies during the surgery?" Qiao Yimu seemed to be doing something like this for the first time and was a little unsure.
Qiao Yuan said, "His death only proves that he was unlucky. Brother, Brother Ye has already said there's no problem, so you can start doing it."
"I'll be there to help you." Dodder vines sprouted from Qiao Yuan's ten fingers and quickly wrapped around Wang Chengye's head.
Qiao Yimu replied, "Okay, I understand. I will do my best to complete it."
Ye Hong said calmly, "Let's begin. My abilities are already activated. Performing surgery here shouldn't be a problem."
Qiao Yimu then dismembered the rat, removing its head and heart, and temporarily preserved them in saline solution.
Before long, Qiao He felt his chest cavity and skull being chiseled open by scalpels and various hammers and saws.
Immediately afterwards, Qiao Yimu picked up a scalpel and needle and thread and began to suture.
His movements were very skillful, as if he had performed this kind of surgery countless times. Most importantly, with Qiao Yuan assisting him, the bleeding would temporarily stop as long as the dodder seed covered the areas that were bleeding.
This is a very useful superpower. It can be used for sneak attacks, parasitism, offense, and defense, and it also makes escaping much faster!
They can even escape unnoticed.
Qiao He had a premonition that Qiao Yuan would be a formidable opponent.
This woman has matured so much. Who says a dodder clinging to someone else is weak?
Qiao He always felt that Qiao Yuan had parasitized Qiao Yimu. Now that Qiao Yimu was dead, Qiao Yuan, as the parasite, might become even more powerful.
She needs to think of a way to deal with Qiao Yuan.
The surgery was a complete success, and Qiao He "saw" exactly how Ye Hong's superpowers were activated.
Ye Hong's special ability is not exactly devouring or fusion, but rather... stripping.
To strip the enemy of any possessions, such as eyeballs, fingers, heart, hair, lungs, etc.
At the same time, if he wanted, he could also use this method to transfer the other person's superpowers to other people.
Just like now, Ye Hong stripped the mutated rat of its special abilities and brought it to Wang Chengye's side.
It's just unclear why the head and heart were stitched together.
Could it be...?
An idea took shape in Qiao He's mind.
Was Ye Hong conducting an experiment?!
He was testing what easier way he could steal the other person's superpowers.
Qiao He felt that Ye Hong must want to take over the enemy's superpowers!
Therefore, Wang Chengye was reduced to an experimenter.
Although it was touted as making him stronger, the truth was that Ye Hong wanted to apply this method to his own body.
However, given the unknown risks involved, Ye Hong naturally wouldn't take them upon himself.
So we chose this method...
That's outrageous.
A turbulent darkness churned in Qiao He's eyes.
