After the plan was settled, Father left first. He could not stay away from Shelter City for too long. The place had just been badly damaged by the Crimson Faction and urgently needed him to stabilize the situation.
Sin Yas and Wood also left one after another. One of them prepared the various tools required, while the other handled disguising the scene—for example, Guy's planned residence and the memories of the surrounding neighbors.
This was one of Wood's two core methods as a trickster. His strongest ability was transforming enemies or matter from three dimensions into two dimensions. His other ability was contract-based, with two branches in total: contract signing and contract memory.
This ability did not crudely alter memories. Instead, it first extracted the target's memories, then cut out the section that needed modification and used it to form a contract memory sheet. The contract memory sheet, which had the necessary information written on it, would then replace that section of memory.
For example, the target's original memory might be, "Today, I went to eat a sumptuous lunch." If "neighbor, Guy" were written on the contract memory sheet and the sheet placed into the blank area where that memory had been cut out, the target's memory would complete itself: "Today, I went to eat a sumptuous lunch and met my longtime neighbor, Guy."

Su Xiao checked the map on the terminal. A red dot was moving across it, representing the
