Lost Memories: What Good Can Possession Be?

Lost Memories: What Good Can Possession Be? "You old geezer, let Xiao Guang go."

Uchiha Yao's unusual behavior today made Uchiha Gin feel strangely unfamiliar with him. His eyes immediately reddened as he stared at the old man, the Eye Technique poised within them awaiting its master's command.

Tsukuyomi requested permission to engage~ Seeing Uchiha Gin looking ready to kill him, Uchiha Yao considered it for a moment, then stepped aside and made way for him.

"That was only a simple stress-response test. Take her back."

He had not expected the other man to agree so readily. Uchiha Gin frowned and withdrew the Dojutsu Power gathering in his eyes. His eyes slowly returned to their normal color. Though he remained wary of the other man, he still stepped into the Laboratory.

The moment he entered, Uchiha Gin saw Uchiha Hikari lying on a hospital bed in the middle of the Laboratory. The girl was still unconscious.

Uchiha Gin hurried over and found her hands and feet bound to the bed with leather straps. After struggling, her fair joints had been rubbed red and swollen by the straps, making his heart ache. His eyes reddened again. I should still use Amaterasu later!

Her face was filled with a pain Uchiha Gin had never seen before. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, her breathing was erratic, and her cherry-like lips were clenched tight, as though she were trapped in a horrifying nightmare.

"What did you do to Xiao Guang? For the sake of our grandfather-grandson relationship, explain yourself clearly, and I'll consider leaving you a pair of underwear."

Though she had no serious external injuries, Uchiha Hikari's agonized expression filled Uchiha Gin with rage. He had already begun considering the proper way to use Amaterasu.

"Just some simple emotional guidance."

Uchiha Yao still wore that cold expression. His eyes turned stiffly before finally settling on Uchiha Gin.

"Tomorrow, it'll be your turn. I hope you'll cooperate and not make any unnecessary struggles."

Without answering Uchiha Yao, Uchiha Gin forcefully tore apart the straps binding Uchiha Hikari. His scarlet eyes glared at the old man. "Cooperate my ass! Try touching us again!"

Cold, obscure Dojutsu Power instantly spilled forth and rushed toward Uchiha Yao. That pure Yin Release Chakra was enough to keep ordinary Ninja awake for several nights. He considered it a lesson for the old geezer.

Seeing Uchiha Yao remain silent, Uchiha Gin ignored him. He hoisted the unconscious girl onto his back and turned to leave.

Uchiha Yao was left alone, slowly blending into the shadows of the Laboratory. Only half his face remained beneath the light. A Hint Of Qing Ming flashed through his remaining eye, but as the Black Shadow gradually covered him, his entire body was ultimately buried within it.

Carrying the unconscious Uchiha Hikari, Uchiha Gin walked lightly all the way back. The girl's rapid breathing never stopped, yet she showed no sign of waking. He had no idea what kind of emotional guidance she had undergone to become so frail.

Uchiha Gin felt regretful. If he could perfectly control his eyes, he could have protected her from such torment.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Gin's physique was too weak. By all rights, his body should not even have allowed him to become a Ninja, yet he had somehow awakened the Mangekyo. That was already a benefit of being a transmigrator. If he wanted to go any further, he might only have the path of science left—or cheats.

Sigh, why don't I have a system? I really want to properly improve my physique... The day before.

After searching through the piles of documents in the Clan Grounds for a long time, Uchiha Miao raised his head. He felt that something had been off about Uchiha Yao today.

From what he knew, Uchiha Yao was the ultimate workaholic who had memorized every document in the entire clan. How could he have forgotten a case recorded in those documents?

Thinking back to Uchiha Yan, who had also been "sent away" with him that morning, the ever-sharp Uchiha Miao vaguely formed a suspicion.

No, I have to get back!

The document archive in the Clan Grounds was some distance from the research institute. It was already late, so he could only set out early the next morning.

Early the following morning, Uchiha Miao rushed back to the research institute at top speed, only to receive the test report Uchiha Yao had prepared beforehand—the so-called "War Weapon" plan.

Taking the report, Uchiha Miao went directly to Uchiha Tajima and sought his decision.

That was how the earlier scene of Uchiha Miao bringing the proposal to request an audience with Uchiha Tajima came about.

"Uchiha Gin, come out!"

Uchiha Gin, who had kept vigil by the girl's bedside all night without closing his eyes, raised his head. Looking at the several unfamiliar men standing outside the door, his gaze turned hostile.

"What exactly did you do to Xiao Guang?"

A whole night had Passed, yet the unconscious girl still showed no movement. No matter what Uchiha Gin tried, he could not wake her. These people had definitely done something to her.

"If you want to know, come with us."

One of the stern-faced men said so.

The youth glanced at the girl lying on the bed with a pained expression, and the anger in his heart surged. Now he wanted to see exactly what methods that old geezer Uchiha Yao had used.

"Let's go."

The youth rose to his feet, danger gleaming in his eyes as he followed the people waiting outside toward the Laboratory.

Before long, Uchiha Gin entered the Laboratory and found Uchiha Yao writing furiously at the workbench. He was not surprised to see him. Instead, he lowered his head and wrote a few more lines, nodded in satisfaction, then handed the document to a subordinate to deliver.

"Old geezer, did you sleep well last night?"

The stifled youth gritted his teeth as he asked. That glare yesterday had really been too light. If he had known, he would have used Tsukuyomi even at the cost of being bedridden for three days.

"No. I was busy writing the proposal."

Uchiha Yao shook his head without showing any discomfort, causing even more suspicion to rise in Uchiha Gin's heart.

"Three seconds. Tell me how to wake Xiao Guang."

The other man's unconcerned attitude infuriated him. As his rage rose, Uchiha Gin's eyes began to glow scarlet, and a cold Aura spread through the entire Laboratory.

Facing the aggressive youth, Uchiha Yao remained unmoved. He carefully examined Uchiha Gin's eyes before speaking thoughtfully.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let me ask you something. Has your eyesight declined recently?"

Hearing Uchiha Yao's baffling question, Uchiha Gin froze for a moment before frowning.

"So what if it has?"

Ever since he began combat testing, Uchiha Gin had felt his eyesight decline every time he used the Mangekyo. Still, it was far better than that Sasuke guy's would be in the future.

"Just as I thought."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's answer, Uchiha Yao nodded to himself, then waved a hand. "Lie down on the bed first."

"You bastard, stop deciding things on your own!"

The tomoe in Uchiha Gin's eyes began to slowly rotate with the fluctuations of his emotions.

"If you want to know what Nameless experienced, cooperate with our experiment."

Seeing Uchiha Gin preparing to use force, Uchiha Yao's brows faintly furrowed. He then said, "Since we can't communicate, I'll have no choice but to—"

Even now, Uchiha Yao wanted him to participate in this inexplicable experiment. The pattern in Uchiha Gin's eyes changed, and Tsukuyomi was ready to strike.

Even if Uncle blamed him afterward, he was going to vent this anger.

Damn it, what transmigrator let natives push him around? Just watch me—

However, at that very moment, an obscure glint flashed through the darkness behind Uchiha Gin. While he was focused on charging Tsukuyomi, he suddenly felt pain at the back of his neck. Before he could turn around, a figure that had appeared behind him at some unknown time injected an entire syringe of unknown medicine into his body.

Uchiha Gin had just tried to resist when an overwhelming wave of drowsiness hit him. His raised hand fell limply, and within a few breaths, he had fallen asleep.

At that moment, the researchers who had been waiting for a long time quickly entered and attached various testing instruments to Uchiha Gin's body, beginning to examine his data.

Before conducting the experiment, they had to clearly record Uchiha Gin's physical data. Uchiha Nameless had undergone the same examination yesterday.

To be safe, the researchers first bound his limbs with leather straps before activating the equipment and beginning the tests.

About an hour later, the lead researcher found Uchiha Yao.

"The test subject's physical examination is complete. There are no abnormal readings."

"Alright, leave. I'll conduct the next experiment alone."

The old man walked inside without even turning his head.

"Yes."

The remaining researchers quickly packed up their equipment and withdrew.

Uchiha Yao walked to the bedside and looked at the youth's sleeping face. A Hint Of nostalgia flashed through his eyes, but as a streak of black aura passed through them, the old man's gaze returned to its previous coldness.

"Uchiha Gin's Mangekyo consumes too much Dojutsu Power. He hasn't even developed much of it, yet his eyesight has already begun to deteriorate."

An unfamiliar voice sounded. The old man did not turn around. It seemed he was no stranger to its speaker. "Indeed. His eyes won't last until the day my plan is complete."

"Hehehe, that little girl's eyes from yesterday were much more intact, and her ability is far stronger than that brat's. Use her!"

A pure-black figure slowly emerged from a pool of pitch-black ink in the darkness. It was the figure that had injected Uchiha Gin earlier. "Wang Liang, even if you are my clone, do not make decisions for me. I have my own judgment."

Hearing the suggestion from the darkness, Uchiha Yao spoke in a deep voice.

"Hehehe, as your incarnation, I naturally know your true thoughts deep inside."

An eerie light flickered in the Black Shadow's eyes, and her tone was exceedingly sincere.

PS: Because the era he is in is too unusual, the protagonist's foreknowledge of the plot is useless. On top of that, modern people are not naturally so ruthless, so the protagonist is somewhat of a slacker, but he is not a saint.
