Jiang Ran suddenly realized something and frowned, which puzzled the others. They were having a good conversation, so why did he suddenly show such an expression?
“Jiang Ran, if everything is proceeding normally according to the timeline as you say, then Marid should arrive at the tavern soon, so you can relax.”
That's right, they are currently discussing Marid's matter, and Jiang Ran's expression is rather grim: "What are we doing now?"
"Huh? Have you lost your mind?" Alansta was full of questions. If Jiang Ran's brain was fried, he really wouldn't know what to do for a moment. "Weren't we discussing getting closer to Marid?"
What time is it now?
"It's evening! Jiang Ran, have you really lost your mind?"
"What did we do at noon and in the afternoon?!"
“We…” Aransta suddenly stopped. Right, he only remembered that after leaving the inn, they walked towards the front street, and then, what happened next? It seemed that they wandered around the streets for an afternoon and then came to this tavern!
“I suddenly felt something was off!” Jiang Ran tapped the table lightly. “Although I decided to come and find Marid this morning, I can’t let the whole afternoon go by in vain. Even if the operation yields no results, we should at least do something, right?”
Abnormal, extremely abnormal, utterly abnormal!
It was as if those several hours had vanished into thin air! Jiang Ran couldn't believe he hadn't done anything during that time, so the question was, what exactly had he done?
"Aransta, is your brother still alive?"
"Yes, and the Ghost Scythe is here too. We should have enough people."
Jiang Ran was very upset about losing a large part of his memory for no reason, but what upset him even more was that even though he knew he had been ambushed, he didn't know who the person was!
"Cough cough!"
The other party has the means to make them lose their memories, but they don't make them forget some more important things. They only forget the memories of noon and afternoon, which makes Jiang Ran even more curious about what he did during that time.
He examined his Water Mirror, and the miracles recorded within had undergone a tremendous change!
First, only three layers of records remain of the [Creator], which means Jiang Ran has already used it twice. Why did he use it? And if he did use it, why only twice?
Because the Creator's abilities were too omnipotent, Jiang Ran couldn't immediately figure out why he had used those two chances, or why he had only used two. Was it because using two chances solved the problem, or because the Creator had only given him two chances to use them?
In addition, the [Water Mirror] also recorded a layer of [Domination] and a layer of [Remnant Dream]. Jiang Ran knew that [Domination] was Aransta's [Miracle], so this [Remnant Dream]... was it Arthas's?
This also indicates that the two brothers used [Miracle] in front of Jiang Ran during this period of lost memory, which means that they may have experienced a battle!
In addition, the Water Mirror also recorded two kinds of miracles that appeared for reasons unknown.
The first ability is called "Demon God", and the second ability is called "Lost".
No one else came along, and the names of these two "miracles" were unheard of and could not be matched with the abilities of any other person. Therefore, Jiang Ran judged that these were very likely the "miracles" of the opposing god-man!
The "Demon God" is a combat-type "Miracle," further indicating that they engaged in a battle with their opponent! Most of their abilities were only recorded once, suggesting the battle ended in an instant, and they are now sitting in the tavern completely unaware of anything, which suggests that they were likely at a disadvantage!
Jiang Ran checked his body and found no injuries. So the battle may have happened in a hurry. One of them or the other must not have wanted to fight, so they fled quickly. Afterwards, Jiang Ran and the others forgot about it for some reason!
He finally began to examine the effects of [Lost].
【Loss】is a functional ability, but its effect is terrifying. Activating this ability can cause a person to lose something they currently possess.
Is this the reason they lost so many memories? And on the [Water Mirror], the ability of [Loss] is recorded at a full five levels! This is only the upper limit of the [Water Mirror], not the upper limit of the other party!
God knows how many times they used the word "lost," and God knows how many things they've forgotten!
If it weren't for the records in the [Water Mirror], Jiang Ran would never have known about the existence of [Lost]. The other party's actions were truly flawless.
The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light; the current situation is not optimistic for them!
"Arsius, please use [Miracle] to help us recover our lost memories. I need to know what I did during this time!"
"If I could, I would have done it already."
"What's the meaning?"
“It means it won’t work!” Arceus’s voice came through. “I tried to change reality to make it so that ‘our memories have not been affected in any way,’ but I failed!”
"It's not that the ability has no effect after activation, but that I can't activate it! I'm restricted by something!"
Upon hearing this, Aransta and the big black dog were both incredibly shocked. Such restrictions could exist? What was the point of them playing then?
Jiang Ran immediately thought of a possibility: [Loss] can make a person lose something they currently possess. Could it be that the other party made Arceus lose the "opportunity to use [Miracle] to eliminate the influence"?
After all, the Water Mirror did not record any other miracles, so this speculation is reasonable!
"Sir, I am Married. May I ask if you are selling this dog?"
Jiang Ran only snapped out of his reverie when someone spoke to him. They were supposed to be lying in ambush here with Marid, but they had been so focused on discussing the afternoon's events that they had completely forgotten about him!
“He owns the dog.” Jiang Ran pointed at Aransta. “If you want him to buy or sell it, talk to him. I’m going to the bathroom first.”
This time, everyone came with a purpose, so naturally they wouldn't directly refuse Marid. Alansta was ostensibly negotiating the price with him, but in reality, he was stalling for time. Jiang Ran, on the other hand, bypassed everyone and arrived at the tavern entrance!
He saw four dogs tied up at the door.
They were four ordinary dogs, none of them showing any human glint in their eyes, and they didn't react at all even when they saw Jiang Ran.
