“My benefactor, the reason this place is called Yingxian Pavilion is because more than ten years ago, the Northern Mystic Immortal Master descended from the Heavenly Realm and stayed here. At that time, this was just a small restaurant that was about to go bankrupt. But because the Northern Mystic Immortal Master came here, the owner, who was a smart man, started to use the Northern Mystic Immortal Master's name to promote the business, and eventually it grew bigger and bigger. Now it has become the most famous restaurant in Beichuan City.” The scarred woman introduced as she walked.
After everyone was seated, Fang Xiu suddenly said, "Can I borrow your phone? I need to look up some things online."
None of the three refused; they assumed Fang Xiu wanted to go online to check his information and see if he could recover his memories.
In fact, Fang Xiu did want to check his own information, but not his memories; rather, he wanted to find traces of his existence in the Xia Kingdom.
The scarred woman handed him the phone, and he didn't stand on ceremony. He picked it up skillfully and started browsing the internet. Although he hadn't used a phone in a century, with his memory, he certainly wouldn't forget how to operate it.
Open your browser and search for "Fang Xiu".
A row of headlines immediately appeared.
Fang Xiu, male, from Donghai County, Jiangnan Province, is a professor, master's supervisor, and holds a PhD in Industrial Economics from Jiangnan University........
Fang Xiu, male, vice president of the Jiangdong Province Spirit Master Association, fifth-level spirit master, author of "The Origin of the Strange" and "How to Become a Strange Being"...
The Fang surname originated in the north and flourished in the south. During the pre-Qin period, people with the Fang surname were active in the Luo River area; at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Fang clan migrated east to Mozhou, gradually forming a prominent family...
Fang Xiu deleted his own name and typed in the words "Prophet," and another row of titles popped up on the screen.
The Seer is the core leader of the good guys' team. Every night, they can check the identity of one player and find out whether the player is a good guy or a werewolf...
[The world's ten greatest prophets all predicted that the Xia Kingdom would perish at the hands of a mysterious force in 2055...]
Upon seeing this, Fang Xiu turned off the phone screen and returned the phone.
Have the traces on the internet also been erased?
"My benefactor, how is it? Any leads?" the scarred woman asked with concern.
Fang Xiu shook his head and asked a question: "Have you ever heard of the name of the prophet?"
The scarred woman pondered for a moment: "No."
The man in the funeral clothes looked delighted: "My benefactor, you play Werewolf too? Do you play online or in person?"
Fang Xiu: "......."
After a moment of silence, he changed the subject: "If you don't know about the prophets, do you know how the Dragon City of Ten Thousand Miles awakened?"
The group was even more surprised, as if he had asked a question that even an elementary school student would know.
"Self-awakening."
"Self-awakening?"
"That's right. A hundred years ago, the other side invaded and the whole world fell, but the Xia Kingdom was spared. We have to thank the Dragon City for awakening on its own during the crisis and protecting the Xia Kingdom."
Fang Xiu frowned slightly. If he hadn't personally awakened the Dragon City of Ten Thousand Miles, he would have thought that these people were talking about the true history.
He knew very well that none of them were lying.
Could it be that... the Northern Mystic Immortal Master has even altered history?
"Who is the current head of the Xia Kingdom Investigation Bureau?"
"Of course it's Captain Lin Ye."
Lin Ye?
The name evoked Fang Xiu's memories. He knew a Lin Ye. Once, a school was shrouded in the eerie domain of the S-class Mysterious Mirror. At that time, he went to rescue the school for the sake of faith. Among the students he saved was Lin Ye.
At that time, Lin Ye was affected by the power of the Mirror Demon and turned into two people, one original and one clone. Both of them awakened their abilities and became Spirit Masters.
The clone awakened the Death Line, while the original was the Life Line. Later, the two merged, and their abilities were upgraded to the Life and Death Line.
Everything in the world has a line between life and death. The death line represents death; once struck, the struck person will surely die. The life line represents life; pulling out the life line allows one to absorb life force.
Aside from those with schizophrenia who possess dual or multiple abilities, Lin Ye is considered the first person in history with dual abilities, which is why Fang Xiu remembers him.
Even when he later recruited disciples from the Xia Kingdom, Lin Ye was among them. Although he did not specifically teach Lin Ye, strictly speaking, Lin Ye could be considered his nominal disciple.
It's just unknown whether the Captain Lin Ye mentioned by these three people is the same Lin Ye who was once on the front lines of life and death.
He guessed that it was probably true. The first genuine dual-ability user in history had great potential, and even after a hundred years, he might break through to the sixth rank and become the captain.
"Lin Ye's ability is the Life-or-Death Line?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked.
The three nodded. Captain Lin had intervened many times during times of crisis in Xia Kingdom, so his abilities were no secret. It was the weak who needed to hide their abilities for fear of being targeted.
But even if someone thoroughly studies the abilities of a powerful figure like Captain Lin, they are still no match for him.
"So it really was him?"
With this thought in mind, Fang Xiu decided to go directly to Lin Ye. As the captain and his former disciple, Lin Ye must know the most about what has happened in the past hundred years.
He even vaguely suspected that the erasure of his existence was related to Lin Ye. After all, even a quasi-god like Bei Xuan Immortal Master would need the cooperation of the Investigation Bureau headquarters to delete online information and destroy portraits and sculptures. It couldn't be that Bei Xuan Immortal Master learned computers on the spot and then deleted the posts himself, could it?
Then, he asked about the deeds of the Northern Mystic Immortal Master, and the three of them immediately listed them one by one, remembering them very clearly. They even recounted all the strange creatures that the Northern Mystic Immortal Master had killed over the past ten years.
