Chapter 492 The Fifth Person
Meng Qingyin immediately said, "His sister passed away. You are about the same age as his sister, so he has mistaken you for his sister. I'm sorry, I'll take him back now."
Ah Chen glanced at Lu Cheng, a hint of regret flashing across her face. "You're the same age as me. You died at such a young age? Well, I don't blame you. But please don't come to my house without permission again. It's really impolite."
Lu Cheng wanted to say something, but Meng Qingyin pulled him away.
She led Lu Cheng directly to the Tower of Babel, where Chen Leying, Qin Jiu, and the others had already arrived.
Lu Cheng squatted on the ground, somewhat distraught: "What's wrong with A-Chen? Why did she treat me like a stranger just now?"
Meng Qingyin: "She must have just seen Mao He."
Who is Mao He?
“Maohe is one of the gods and the leader of the cat-people. She has a secret technique to control the souls of the dead. The reason why Achen and Granny Jinxiu were able to have a second life is because of her,” Meng Qingyin explained.
Lu Cheng's eyes reddened, and he quickly guessed the reason, "So, Mao He found out that I was getting too close to A Chen, so she did something to A Chen to make him forget me again?"
Meng Qingyin nodded: "That should be it. The players don't know about the existence of the five gods, which shows that they don't want the players to know. Maohe is probably worried that Achen, who has regained her memories, will reveal something to us, so she tried to erase her memories."
Lu Cheng has now completely calmed down. "Fortunately, she only erased Xiao Xing's memories, not..."
He was still shaken by what happened to Zheng Yi that day, fearing that Xiao Xing might suffer the same fate.
Although Xiaoxing forgot him again, he was content as long as she was alright.
It seems this whole thing started because of him. No matter how much he misses Xiaoxing, he can't show it again.
The elderly man sighed, "Sigh, Kim Soo's attitude towards me has suddenly become very cold. It seems we can't get too close to them anymore."
Lu Cheng: "I understand. I won't put Xiaoxing in danger."
...
Although the temperature on this map is very high, the impact of the high temperature on players is minimized thanks to the car's air conditioning.
However, high temperatures are sometimes unavoidable, such as when players go out to find supply boxes. Often at this time, players feel as if they are in a steamer, and the supply boxes are also extremely hot to the touch.
Hanmei found a new business: selling heat-resistant gloves. This business was extremely popular.
Meng Qingyin also had several pairs of gloves custom-made by her. Of course, she didn't make them for herself, but for Ye Taohua and the others. After all, she no longer needed to personally search for the supply boxes, and Ye Taohua and the others were eager to do the work.
However, there has been no news about the Immaculate Stone.
Early that morning, Meng Qingyin arrived at the Tower of Babel as usual, infusing pure demonic energy into the Three-Pointed Blade. While chatting with Ye Yingjun, he suddenly went silent, his eyes staring straight ahead, as if he had been possessed.
Meng Qingyin was already used to this.
She knew that Ye Yingjun must have been in contact with some Night Demon again, but their conversations were all mental exchanges, so Meng Qingyin didn't know what they talked about each time.
After a long while, Ye Yingjun said, "My lord, a Night Demon said that he has discovered a human who looks exactly like me."
Meng Qingyin immediately perked up: "Which district is he in?"
Ye Yingjun: "Hanafu 840 District".
Meng Qingyin immediately stood up. "I'm leaving now. I'll come back to keep you company tomorrow!"
She teleported to Zhang Yan's location.
Zhang Yan had just gotten up. He was shirtless and wearing only black pajama bottoms. He was standing in front of the mirror, still half asleep, admiring the perfect figure of the person in the mirror.
Meng Qingyin couldn't help but rub her forehead and smile wryly. This guy really has narcissism etched into his genes.
She coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, Zhang Yan, get dressed, I have something to tell you."
Her sudden voice startled Zhang Yan, who was already half asleep. He quickly put his hands in front of his chest, but when he saw that it was Meng Qingyin, he put his hands down and even puffed out his chest.
His tone sounded somewhat complaining: "Why didn't you give me a heads-up before you came? I just got up and haven't even had time to get dressed yet."
Despite saying that, he stood there without any intention of putting on his clothes.
Meng Qingyin stared at his face. "I'm sorry, I had something urgent to tell you, so I forgot to let you know in advance. I will definitely let you know in advance next time."
She said the last sentence almost through gritted teeth.
Zhang Yan was very magnanimous: "It's okay. Actually, being startled by you actually made me more awake. You know what? Every morning, the way I wake up is by admiring my perfect figure and then starting the day full of energy."
Meng Qingyin felt a lump in her throat: "..." No, who asked you that?
"Put your clothes on first."
Zhang Yan then slowly went to find his clothes and put them on.
Meng Qingyin: "Ye Yingjun said that the Night Demon has found the fifth person, and he is in District 840."
Zhang Yan's expression turned serious: "I'm going to District 840 right now! I hope we can find him before Lear does."
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, when you get to District 840, Night Demon will guide you. Be careful yourself."
"Don't worry, I'll convince him." Zhang Yan nodded to her and quickly left.
Meng Qingyin returned to the train, told Chen Leying and the others the news, and then waited for Zhang Yan's message.
But she remembered that Zhang Yan had mentioned that there was a cooldown period every time he used his ability, so Zhang Yan wouldn't be back for a while, so she continued to open the boxes to search for the Immaculate Stone.
However, they failed to find the Immaculate Stone for three consecutive days, and Fei Qiu and his team made no progress.
Meng Qingyin began to wonder if they were going in the wrong direction.
The Immaculate Stone wasn't obtained from opening boxes at all?
Perhaps it's a type of ore? Obtainable only through mining?
Meng Qingyin asked Ye Yingjun, "The Night Demons are scattered in various places. Have they ever discovered that there are mines here?"
The terrain of this map is relatively simple, mostly flat wasteland, but perhaps there are mines somewhere?
Ye Yingjun: "I told them to keep a close eye on things."
As a result, news came that very afternoon.
Meng Qingyin was planting crops with Qingfeng when Ye Taohua suddenly appeared outside the carriage window: "My lord, the deputy leader said that a Night Demon has found the mine and wants you to go to the Tower of Heaven."
Meng Qingyin quickly washed her hands and arrived at the Tower of Babel.
Ye Yingjun spoke quickly, "My lord, there is a Night Demon named Ye Liuye who says he has discovered a very large mine! You can have Ye Taohua take you there to see it."
Meng Qingyin: "...So the purpose of you asking me to come to the Magic Tower?"
Since Ye Taohua can directly contact the Night Demon named Ye Liuye, why not just have Ye Taohua take her there? Why make this trip?
Ye Yingjun paused for a moment, then chuckled sheepishly, "That's true."
"..."
