Sensing Cheng Shi's arrival, he waved his hand slightly and summoned the other party to his side.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Shi's pupils contracted, confirming that he was absolutely right. The Dragon King must have become an existence like the gatekeeper of the Chaos Temple, Tarot, and had gained control over this collection to some extent.
Intelligent people don't need much conversation; sometimes a single glance or gesture is enough for both to understand each other.
Li Jingming knew he couldn't hide it from Cheng Shi, and he hadn't even considered doing so, so he nodded.
But when his guess was confirmed, Cheng Shi was still taken aback:
"The [Memory] Archive... is it yours now?"
"Yes, I have the key to the library."
As he spoke, Li Jingming stretched out his hand and conjured a crystal hourglass that was sparkling and infinitely changing. With each drop of sand, countless memories were refracted through the hundreds of facets of ice crystals, dazzling the eyes and captivating the gaze.
Cheng Shi recognized the thing in a second; he never imagined that his guess was wrong.
"container......"
Li Jingming nodded, his expression turning serious:
Yes, a container.
I originally came here seeking an audience with [Memory], but He was not there. Instead, He overwhelmed me with the memories in the archives. I struggled in the sea of memories, and then I grasped at this 'lifeline'.
Only later did I realize that this was actually a container for [memories], and with it, I gained the ability to control the [memory] archive.
Cheng Shi was first surprised, then delighted: "Then that piece of art?"
“It still doesn’t work…” Li Jingming had obviously already tried. “The container is the key to the collection, but not the key to that collection, because that collection is not locked by the [memory].
To see the memories buried within, perhaps the only answer lies in Crown's mask—the mask of fooling, your mask.
"......"
Cheng Shi was at his wit's end. Even though he knew the key to identifying fakes lay in the mocking laughter, the problem was that he couldn't find it at all. He had been thinking about whether there was some kind of cheating method to unlock the memories behind that collection, but now it seemed like wishful thinking.
The clown's aura faltered, and he sneered:
"So that artifact that just triggered the chaos was entirely fabricated by you, right?"
"Very well, on your very first day in office, you've already used deception to erase the memories in the archives. Dragon King, you've become a proper blasphemer."
Cheng Shi gave an appreciative thumbs-up.
This is truly amazing.
Li Jingming gladly accepted, and said with a smile, "I'm just influenced by what I see and hear from those who are blasphemous."
"Yes, that's right. We should stay away from Longjing and not let the clowns pollute us."
"......?"
