Chapter 93 Chapter 88 Approaching the Truth
Although Puis was puzzled and curious, he did not ask, after all, now was not the time to ask such questions.
"All kinds of monsters have come here. What on earth have you provoked?"
Anat controlled her own blood and began to annihilate herself. There were many people in the world who could use the blood of others to affect them. Anat had suffered this before, so she would do this after every fight.
"Sorry, Senior Anat, we really didn't notice..."
Perhaps because nothing substantial was done to them, the man and the snake did not appear in the future that Pomo's ability could predict.
Anat shook her head. "It's not your fault. There are all kinds of strange superpowers that are hard to guard against. It's normal."
These words seemed calm, yet they carried a strange sadness.
Maybe she has suffered a lot of losses like this.
"What this guy just said is probably true. This strange snake may have the ability to devour and control."
Before killing this thing, Anat did not see the true form of the 'snake'.
"If it weren't for the damage just now, we might not have been able to find him."
His skin had turned blue and his body was extremely stiff. The snake must have possessed him for quite some time.
"Zhang Bei, come in!"
"Okay, Miss!"
There was quite a lot of noise just now, and Zhang Bei, who had been waiting outside, naturally heard it. However, since Miss Anat didn't call him, he naturally wouldn't barge in without permission.
"Take this guy down, find out who he is, and then send some condolences to his family."
In this world, death is the most normal "secret". The Hot Chili Peppers are not just a gang, but also serve as the maintainers of order in the underground world.
Zhang Bei took a look at the unlucky man's face and didn't recognize him, so he called for someone to carry the body out.
When the room was completely quiet again, Anat rubbed her hair irritably, and after sitting down again, she had no appetite to eat.
Then, she looked at the two silent junior students.
"The matter you are investigating is related to Hot Chili Peppers, right? I have only been back for two days, and I don't know what the old man has done, but I can tell you for sure that Hot Chili Peppers will not do anything to harm the dungeon. As long as your purpose is not related to this, then we are on the same front."
This is a statement of attitude, and Anat is willing to give her juniors some room to consider.
Of course, she was involved in this matter, the only difference was whether it was cooperation or independent investigation.
Pomo looked at Puis, and his intuition was that he was inclined to cooperate with senior sister Anat.
Puys's consideration is more practical. Anat is the eldest daughter of Hot Chili Peppers, and it might be easier for her to look for Rixun.
Finally, the two looked at each other and got a positive answer from each other's eyes.
"Then I'll bother Senior Anat."
Anat smiled contentedly.
"Okay, first explain to me what '日寻' is!"
It is unknown whether the man was discovered by them because of the limitations of his supernatural powers or because he revealed his flaws after hearing the name "Ri Xun", but this must be the most important clue.
Puis briefly recounted what happened after they came to Siper, but omitted anything related to Ni Lan. After all, Ni Lan was still being hunted by the royal family, and senior Anat was now working at the Saint Snow Supernatural Management Office, so her position could not be determined.
As for the part that Pomeranian had predicted, Puys pushed the blame onto Abrey, saying only that he was the one who told them.
"General Yun Shi? This matter is actually related to her?!"
The things involved and the severity of this matter were beyond Anat's imagination. Yun Shi was the hero of almost every Siper child's childhood. It was a legend that Anat had known since her childhood, and naturally she was also her idol.
Puis also showed Anat the photos provided by Abre.
Anat nodded with certainty, "Yes, General Yun Shi looks like this. Madam Yun Yingxuan and General Yun Shi don't look alike, and they don't have any other sisters, so it can only be General Yun Shi. It's just that this temperament..."
In her own words, General Yun Shi would never show such a cowardly and incompetent expression.
"Our goal is to find her, Senior Anat. Before we lost contact, she was brought down by the Hot Chili Peppers."
Now that we have shared all the information that needs to be shared, it's Anat's turn.
"I understand. I will go talk to the old man about this. You probably haven't found a place to stay yet, so just stay here for now." It was already late, and everyone should be tired after eating and drinking. Anat thought she was very considerate, especially towards the younger generation.
Of course, the two agreed. They didn't know when Pomo's prediction would come true, so it was very necessary to maintain sufficient energy.
Anat called Zhang Bei again and took them upstairs.
The architectural style of Hot Chili Pepper is consistent with the entire underground city. There are only two floors in total. The second floor is where I live. Although it still looks like steel plate-like building materials, it is much cleaner than the outside. I guess the owner is also very particular about it.
They finally settled down, but neither of them could sleep well.
Puis closed his eyes and rested, while Pomeranian tossed and turned.
Finally, when Pomeranian tossed and turned more and more frequently and suddenly stopped, Puis knew that he was going to speak.
"Is."
"......"
"Hey, Es, I think there's something wrong with Lan."
"I should have said that there's no need to repeat things that everyone already knows, right?"
Even people who didn't know Ni Lan could tell something was wrong.
In fact, before knowing Abre's commission, Pomo thought that the stowaway would be Ni Lan.
As a wanted person by the royal family, he had no chance of obtaining an invitation or passing the review. But now it seemed that Ni Lan was hiding well, and his abilities were enough to make himself a ghost hidden in the city.
However, what Pomo said was wrong was not that there was something wrong with Ni Lan who was here.
"Oh, how can I know if you don't tell me? Es, please listen to me."
Pomo turned over and raised his head, looking at Puis lying flat on the bed as if he wanted to have a long talk.
Okay, now I really can’t sleep.
Puis opened his eyes, stood up and poured himself a glass of water, then moved the chair over and sat next to Pomo.
"Go ahead."
This is Puys' habit. He never lies in bed when doing anything other than sleeping, whether it is chatting or doing something else. This helps improve his sleep quality.
Of course, Pomo knew about this custom, but he himself didn't care about it. He hugged the pillow and started talking.
"I used to think that Lan's memory was not very good and his personality was... well, how should I put it? Calm? Not quite right... let me think..."
"Dull."
"Yes!"
At this moment, dull is just a neutral adjective and has no special meaning.
"But now that I think about it, it's not his personality at all. It's more like... he was forced to forget something."
This feeling became even more obvious after meeting Ni Lan in Xuankong City.
The initial shock was like not knowing they were coming, especially the repeated emphasis on...
'Now is not the time.'
Pomo began to rub his hair irritably, "Wow, this doesn't seem right no matter how I think about it!"
Puys actually knew more than Pomeranian.
Because at midnight that day, he broke some kind of barrier.
After midnight, Ni Lan's condition seemed to be reset. She completely forgot about the "coercion" she had experienced shortly before midnight and was able to greet him normally.
He remembered himself, but he didn't remember what had just happened.
Under what circumstances would such a strange split occur?
"Ni Lan's ability is not to restore, but to reverse time."
Puis fell into deep thought. He felt that he was very close to the truth, but for some reason he just couldn't grasp it.
This is normal. After all, whether it is Pomo or Puis, their way of thinking is "smooth".
"I have a feeling that when I find Hihiro, return to the Sky Castle, and meet Alan..."
Puis looked up at him.
“I can’t get an answer!”
Puis: ...
"He can reverse time, including our memories. Your ability conflicts with his. You can still remember what you foresaw, but I can only think of it as a 'moment'."
Ni Lan didn't seem to realize this and was very dependent on her own abilities.
Is his ability really just to reverse time?
Is there any other use...?
"Wait a moment!"
Pomo suddenly shouted out, and Puis almost went over to cover his mouth.
"Don't be so loud."
Pomo nodded quickly.
"Have you noticed that every time we encounter a crisis, whether it's in Lanster, Shouyu Island, or here, Alan shows up in advance! It's like he knew about it a long time ago!"
At least until now, except for myself who can [foresee] and the culprit who is preparing to destroy the Hanging City of Xipo, I am afraid no one knows that the disaster is coming. So how did Ni Lan know it?
Maybe we could say that we were lucky enough to encounter Shouyu Island, but Lanster and Siper...
Puis finally reacted.
Yes, he always shows up when a crisis comes, but they never think about why he is there.
"And Xu Kuiya. He knows Xu Kuiya's special abilities."
This is the most helpless.
"Could it be that he has the same ability to predict the future as I do? But wouldn't that be multiple powers?"
Both of them looked unhappy.
There is no one in this world who is born with multiple superpowers. Everyone's talents are fixed at birth.
Having multiple powers means that other people's abilities have been taken away.
This kind of thing is of course expressly prohibited, and the Saint Snow Supernatural Management Office has arrested many people who had such evil thoughts.
The fate of these people was naturally the death penalty.
Pomo shook his head.
"No, not multiple powers."
"Intuition?"
But this time, Pomo couldn't answer with a definite "yes".
Because this time, it is emotional bias.
He just believed that Alan would never do such a thing.
