After all, Leopard is the incarnation of an outer god, and is a being of almost the same status as the [Man of Darkness], yet he would appear in the illusion.

The names, images, and voices of the Old Ones are all polluting. Everything they say will be known. If Leopard appears in the illusion, then the Leopard in the real world will most likely know about it.

She didn't have the illusion of punishing this place. Either she didn't have the ability to overcome the defense of the "Man of Darkness", or she didn't care.

Lu Ban had also considered the latter possibility.

Although Bao Bao seems to have a good relationship with Lu Ban and often helps Lu Ban, in essence, she is just gaining extreme human emotions through Lu Ban's experience. If Lu Ban lived in this world and could also allow Bao Bao to gain these human emotions, she might not necessarily take the risk of interfering with the actions of the [Man of Darkness].

Lu Ban remembered the name of the idol girl on the big screen and searched it on his mobile phone.

Quite popular, just like the charming 90 self.

Looking through Leopard's related information, Lu Ban also found some familiar faces, all of whom became Leopard's related agents, entertainment stars, etc.

"According to the logic of this world, I have seen Baobao before, so her image appeared in my subconscious..."

Lu Ban did some self-psychological analysis.

He recalled and found that he did have the memory of seeing Leopard on TV.

Of course, Lu Ban could also say that because he saw Leopard now, the illusion automatically helped Lu Ban generate corresponding memories, making him think that he was really just a lunatic.

After all, according to the doctor, the treatment Lu Ban had undergone before would make Lu Ban use those unforgettable things as material to weave stories, and then seal them deep in his brain so that they would not appear in his mind.

Therefore, it is reasonable that I didn’t think of Leopard as an idol girl before.

Human memory is not like a computer, which is a collection of folders divided into categories.

Human memory is more like a spider web. Some events will not be retained in the mind in detail. Only some core concepts and keywords will be retained. Those concepts themselves are covered in daily behaviors and consume almost no memory resources.

Only when certain things touch upon corresponding concepts and keywords, will memories be reorganized from these things and become memories that can be recognized by consciousness.

This is also why people have fuzzy memories and sometimes mix up different things.

Because essentially the process of human recollection is a process of re-creation, just like the same essay, the first time and the second time, even if they are roughly the same, there will be corresponding differences in the details.

According to the doctor, Lu Ban lacked the ability to break down his memories into concepts and keywords. After treatment, he forcefully broke down the memories, which in turn made that part of the memory even more difficult to recall.

Some other familiar faces appeared in Lu Ban's mind, such as Trist and Xia. Their faces appeared one after another. Lu Ban felt very familiar with them, but he couldn't remember what identities they corresponded to in the real world.

Maybe they are like Baobao, people who are very far away from Lu Ban, or maybe they are people Lu Ban has met and communicated with before.

The identities of the people in the illusion didn't seem to have much to do with Lu Ban's cognition, otherwise Feng Yu wouldn't be just a passerby nurse, and Qin Tiantian wouldn't be just a familiar classmate with whom he didn't communicate much.

"What are you looking at?"

Amber's voice came from beside Lu Ban. The petite girl leaned over and looked in the direction of Lu Ban's sight. On the big screen, a video advertisement of a young and lovely idol singing and dancing was still playing.

"So you like this?"

Amber narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Ban like a cat observing its prey.

"This is the incarnation of an outer god. You can't mess with him."

Lu Ban explained.

"She also appears in your imagination?"

Amber puffed up her cheeks, making her already chubby face become rounder and even more adorable.

"I guess so. She's not a good person."

Lu Ban commented.

"Then don't think about her!"

Amber grabbed Lu Ban and asked him to go back to the clothing store.

"We have already bought clothes, let's go get some milk tea~"

She was carrying two bags of clothes in her hands and did not let Lu Ban carry them. Instead, she carried them herself and walked towards the milk tea shop in the mall.

Lu Ban didn’t know why girls liked to drink milk tea. He thought boiled water was good enough, and fat otaku happy water was even better.

But since Amber and Hongye like it, there's nothing we can do.

Lu Ban took a sip of the milk tea; it was very sweet.

The two girls were still discussing where to go for a stroll, and Lu Ban was still trying to recall, recalling Trist and Xia, while also associating with other things, hoping to regain some memories.

In a shopping mall selling televisions, several televisions facing outside the store were broadcasting the news.

Lu Ban glanced at it casually.

"Jiangcheng is about to experience its highest temperature in a decade. Citizens are advised to take protective measures in the scorching heat."

"The electric car factory was completed yesterday on the outskirts of Jiangcheng and will gradually go into production, driving the development of Jiangcheng's automobile industry."

"Jiangcheng Grand Theater recently performed a new-style drama, which attracted enthusiastic attention from young people."

"A vicious injury incident occurred in Jiangcheng, resulting in one death. The police are investigating."

When Lu Ban saw the news about the murder, his heart skipped a beat.

Since news channels generally don't get any first-hand information on cases like this, on the one hand, everything could be overturned and started over again during the investigation, and on the other hand, it's to prevent copycat crimes.

Many onlookers who do not know the truth, as soon as they see a case, ask the police to immediately issue a blue-bottomed notice to explain the situation. This is actually unreasonable.

However, Lu Ban noticed that the place mentioned here was quite close to Jiangcheng University.

He remembered that there should be a villa area over there. If he was not mistaken, in the real world, Lu Ban once encountered a murderer who disguised himself as a real estate agent to kill people continuously. He was not suspected even when he was caught by surveillance cameras.

Could it be that there are similar murderers in this world?

Lu Ban immediately searched for relevant information about the case on his mobile phone.

Because for Lu Ban here, this should be the first time he has encountered this murder case, but in the real world, Lu Ban had already solved it.

According to the doctor's theory, he must have seen similar things here before, so he imagined that a murder had occurred in the real world.

But Lu Ban discovered that this case should be the first in a series, or at least the only case during this period. He had been in a mental hospital for the previous year and it was impossible for him to have seen the circumstances of the case.

Of course, it is also possible that the movie Lu Ban watched had a similar plot and he processed it in his mind.

However, Lu Ban was still a little curious and wondered whether the cases here were the same as those in the real world.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban directly called the police.
