What is----
Where did Third Young Master come from?
Please translate for me - what is Major Luo?
Bai Zhou was completely stunned. A creepy feeling suddenly hit his body, and the eerie and biting coldness made his hands and feet numb.
In front of him, Gem Witch, who said this with a confused look on his face, had been chased to death by Black Warrior of Major Luo not long ago, and finally witnessed with his own eyes how he killed Luo Tunan of Sainthood Ascension in the sky--
With these past experiences, no matter how forgetful a person is, they cannot say such cold words that have nothing to do with them, right?
"But, aren't those----all done by Elder Wu?"
Once Bai Zhou described it in detail, Gem Witch hesitated to give such an answer.
"So that bald old man is not Major Luo!" Bai Zhou was in a very confused mood.
Elder Wu, Elder Wu, he didn't understand why everyone was talking about this name, as if that bald old man was the culprit of everything.
But—but isn't this old man?
"You have been entangled with Elder Wu for so long. He has been sending people to hunt you down, and finally he was killed by you yourself——"
"As the founder of Armory, a big shot of Above Level 6 who stood at the top of Tinghai many years ago, Elder Wu has been plotting in secret for so long, almost overturning the entire Tinghai, but in the end it was destroyed by your own hands. People say that you are the old enemy of Elder Wu, chosen by fate."
"With such a person, how could you——"
Gem Witch looked at Bai Zhou with a very confused tone. "Why do you seem to have forgotten him?"
Elder Wu? Chasing me? Am I the old enemy of that bald old man?
After listening to what Gem Witch said, Bai Zhou fell silent.
What you said is very exciting----but how come I don't know it myself?
"The above is a special report on the Tinghai catastrophe----"
At this time, the succinct news broadcast on the TV hanging diagonally above came to an end. "Ordinance Envoy of the Ordinance Hall stated that the success of this operation is inseparable from the heroes' coming forward and the heroic efforts of front-line staff. At present, Tinghai social order has been fully restored, martial law has ended, and extraordinary people can travel normally at night----"
"Finally, let us express our condolences to the staff of Authorities who died heroically in this incident.
Their names will be engraved on Resting Mausoleum, and their spirits will always be with us."
As he spoke, the screen cut to a black and white image - a black and white photo of many extraordinary people smiling at the camera on the TV screen, with their names and dates of birth and death scrolling underneath the photo.
"Buzz----"
Cafeteria, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quiet now.
Someone put down their chopsticks with a solemn expression.
Some people looked down at the plates on the table and silently observed.
The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
Gem Witch also lowered his head and winked at Bai Zhou on the side.
However, Bai Zhou just looked at the people who bowed their heads in silence with a confused look on his face, and his head felt like it was mushy.
After a while, Bai Zhou bowed his head in silence in a daze, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Our reporters Hua Jiajia and Qi Zhiming, and correspondents Li Changming and Zheng Xiaoxiao, are jointly reporting for you."
The reporter's voice broke the silence of Cafeteria and ended the minute-long silence.
"Here's today's weather forecast."
"Tinghai City North City District, it will be cloudy and sunny today, the lowest temperature at night----"
In the weather forecast, the sign of sunny weather is a bright and shining little sun.
Just like Tinghai in everyone's eyes, the clouds are clearing and the sun appears, and the haze surrounding Tinghai has cleared up.
Everything has become better, even the tone of people's discussions in Cafeteria has become much lighter.
The only exception is Bai Zhou.
His eyes were full of haze, and he looked at Hu-La Soup in front of him with a stunned expression in deep thought.
Gem Witch looked at Bai Zhou, who was suddenly acting abnormally today, with a slightly worried expression on his face, and his voice slowed down unconsciously. "What's wrong with you, Bai Zhou?"
"----That's a good question."
Bai Zhou drank the Hu-La Soup in front of him in one gulp.
I used to drink Hu-La Soup, which was sour and spicy, but now I put it in my mouth, but I felt it tasted bitter for no reason.
With a "click" sound, Bai Zhou placed Hu-La Soup's bowl on the table.
He took a deep breath, as if he was being stung by pepper. "I also want to ask - what the hell is going on?"
----After hearing this, Bai Zhou couldn't help gritting his teeth.
[Summary of the Tinghai catastrophe caused by Elder Wu]
[File Level]: Top Secret.
[File number]: T-0078883
[Archive time]: 23:59 on September 11, 2030 AD.
[Filer]: Unified Coordination Bureau Archives Management Office under the Ordinance Hall [Description]:
Armory elders, Ritual Master, Magic Pattern Master "Elder Wu", tried to kill Tinghai Sainthood Ascension, but were killed by Bai Zhou in Microcosm. The incident has been recorded in Tinghai local chronicles.
Elder Wu has been confirmed dead, and its extraordinary characteristics have entered the recycling process.
The clues currently available indicate that Wu Lao has extremely serious penetration into the Authorities organization, and the Interest Chain lines are complicated. During the analysis of its encrypted Account Book, multiple resource transactions pointing to high-level personnel were discovered.
The final result is that all assets, accounts, and personnel networks under Wu Lao's name have been handed over to the Ordinance Hall for subsequent processing.
The Red and Purple Security Group announced its dissolution with immediate effect, and all registered personnel will undergo a comprehensive review.
The relevant persons involved in the Purple Thorn Group case have been handed over to the judicial authorities, and subsequent trials will be handled by the Tinghai District Special Court.
[Attachment list]:
1. All financial details of Red-Purple Security Group 2. Fund flow table of Purple Thorn Group in the past ten years (2020-2030 AD)
3. Summary of interrogation transcripts of persons involved in the case (89 copies in total)
4. Armory counter-revolutionary list 5. Special Management Department Branch 36 Base investigation report.

"Wow----"
Archives Room, who has never seen the light of day, accompanied by Ordinance Envoy's secretary, Bai Zhou was flipping through archives under the desk lamp.
The more he looked at him, the deeper his eyes became, and the more constipated his expression became.
The contents in the appendix made his eyes light up, and he immediately opened the sealed file to view it.
--The first is Red-Purple Security Group.
[Red-Purple Security Group, founded in March 2022 AD, is a private security company on the surface, but in fact it was founded and controlled by Elder Wu for a long time.]
[After investigation, since the day of its establishment, the group has set up underground experimental sites in Tinghai City suburbs and other places in the name of "security training" and "bodyguard training" to conduct Human Material development and biological experiments. There are currently five verified experimental sites, all of which have been cleared and sealed]
[The directors of the group are appointed by nine works of Elder Wu Biological Experiment, who are also Sainthood Ascension materials of Elder Wu.]
-After that, it was Purple Thorn Group that Bai Zhou was most concerned about.
[Purple Thorn Group, Tinghai is a veteran capital, and its main business covers real estate, machinery manufacturing, etc.]
[After investigation, Purple Thorn Group has had an in-depth cooperative relationship with Wu Lao for nine years. Through its investment company, it has accumulated long-term capital injections into it for the construction of its underground experimental site and equipment procurement.]
[In return, Purple Thorn Group senior executives regularly receive experimental results from Elder Wu and apply some of the research results to its industries.]
[At present, Purple Thorn Group has all been investigated, and Ordinance Hall is considering the feasibility of placing Purple Thorn Group under public ownership.]
Behind it again and again is the Armory anti-revolutionary list.
[As a secondary organization under the Ordinance Hall, a brother unit of Special Black Box Control Agency, Armory is in charge of arms and equipment. This organization was deeply influenced by Elder Wu and was deeply involved in this major case.]
[After investigation, Armory North City District branch director, weapons maintenance section chief, arms management section deputy section chief,
Magic Pattern Technical Section Chief——All of them are suspected of major crimes and have been arrested and brought to justice.]
[After the resolution of the Ordinance Hall, Armory was dissolved on the spot and cleared. The original functional departments and the staff who confirmed their innocence were merged and accepted by the first-level organization under the Ordinance Hall and Special Black Box Control Agency.]
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh----"
The dim light of the desk lamp illuminated the pages, and the file was turned page by page. Bai Zhou's expression flickered in the dim light.
He looked left and right, up and down, and read only three words from the dense seams, "Elder Wu".
Everything was done by Elder Wu - Tinghai was almost subverted by him, School Demon was summoned by him, Human Material and Red Spider were studied by him, Bai Zhou was also hunted by him, and the entire recent turmoil in Tinghai is inseparable from this person.
Elder Wu This person is so bad. How can there be such a bad person in the world? He is simply the source of all filth. Any black pot slapped on his forehead will be compared to the shiny white Yongle Antique Sweet White Kiln.
Is this reasonable?
--This is so reasonable.
In fact, even if Bai Zhou himself read these archives, he felt that they were impeccable, and even more reasonable than if the person who did these things was Luo Tunan.
One is Elder Wu, an old guy who stands at the top of Tinghai. Ritual Master and Magic Pattern Master single-handedly founded Armory. He has countless disciples and has a very deep network of relationships within Tinghai Authorities.
One is Luo Tunan, who is considered a rich second generation at best. He holds an inconspicuous Special Management Department 36 sub-base in his hand, and his strength is only Level 4 Extraordinary.
-When these two people are put together, who is more like the super careerist who almost succeeded in subverting Tinghai and intended to Sainthood Ascension?
Even, there are many things that were not explained before, such as why Luo Tunan knows so much secret knowledge that others don't know--
Why does he understand Demon worship and Demon Summoning, why can he create Saint Ascension Ritual, and why does he master the knowledge of Red Spider and [Moonlight Tear]?
Why was he able to develop a product like "Human Material"? Why was he able to collude with so many Tinghai Authorities executives without anyone noticing? Why was he able to develop such a huge power without people noticing----
If all these doubts are placed on the old witch, who has lived for an unknown length of time and has mastered countless secret knowledge, then it would be completely reasonable.
-A Perfect murderer who follows all logic!
It seems that those things Major Luo has done, as if the position Major Luo occupies in the entire case should have been done by Elder Wu, and Elder Wu should have stood in that position.
It's just that now, this location has been taken back to the original owner.
One is such a thrilling feeling.
However, where is that Major Luo that is illogical but almost overturned Tinghai in Bai Zhou's impression?
His existence and his past seemed to have been quietly erased by a pair of invisible hands, completely disappearing from this world.
Only Bai Zhou remembers.
, Bai Zhou sat in his seat, looking at the top-secret files spread out in front of him, feeling an uncontrollable chill run down his spine.
"Mr. Bai."
Ordinance Envoy's number one secretary stood aside, looking at Bai Zhou with respect for a hero, "This is the file information you need in the recent period."
"----Is there something wrong?"
What's the problem?
Facing the secretary's inquiry, Bai Zhou glanced at him and hesitated to speak.
Big problem!
Bai Zhou's eyes were half lowered and he couldn't help but purse his lips.
Just now, he immediately asked to see Elder Song and Ordinance Envoy of the Special Management Department.
But when they faced Bai Zhou's inquiry, they all had the same reaction as Gem Witch, with confusion and concern.
Ordinance Envoy signed directly and asked the secretary to bring Bai Zhou to Archives Room to view the latest information.
However, these information methods only made Bai Zhou feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his heart felt so cold.
Elder Wu, Elder Wu, all are Elder Wu! But there is no trace of Luo Tunan.
This person simply disappeared from the world!
That's ridiculous.
Things are getting serious.
"Perhaps, you need a Doctor----"
In the secretary's concerned eyes, Bai Zhou just found an excuse to go to the toilet.
"Clatter----"
Amidst the sound of running water, Bai Zhou was in front of the faucet, looking at himself in the mirror in the empty toilet.
He tried to calm down and sort out the chaotic thoughts deep in his mind.
Now, there are only two possibilities: he is crazy, hysterical, and should be burned to death----
He imagined the existence of Luo Tunan, but in fact this man Luo Tunan never existed in the world.
Or, the existence of Luo Tunan was "erased" by someone.
This is even scarier.
Because it means that someone has distorted everyone's cognition and memory.
If Bai Zhou is not crazy, it means that everything before may be just the beginning of something else.
A big thing.
And the entire Tinghai was kept in the dark about this in advance.
But----
"Why am I outside the drum?"
Bai Zhou looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes particularly confused.
Is there any reason why he is special?
"Bai Zhou.
At this time, in the empty toilet, the sound of crows reached Bai Zhou's ears.
"Why are you hiding here?"
Bai Zhou raised his head and saw the figure of Maiden wearing a black trench coat appearing behind him in the mirror.
She is still so elusive.
In the past, Bai Zhou would have reminded her that this was a men's room, but Bai Zhou obviously did not have this mood at the moment. It was even the opposite - as if a traveler walking in the desert was about to die of thirst, and suddenly heard the echo of running water in the oasis. Bai Zhou turned her head sharply and looked at the crow who had appeared beside her at some unknown time.
"Crow, you----" Bai Zhou's lips moved, but he hesitated to speak, his eyes looked almost nervous with expectation.
"It looks like you're in trouble."
Crow looked like he hadn't woken up yet, with two dark circles on his face.
"Or----"
"We're in trouble."
She looked at Bai Zhou and said seriously:
A big trouble!"
Hearing this, Bai Zhou's pupils shrank, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably relieved.
Because he determined a certain answer from Crow's tone, "It seems that you also remember Luo Tunan--right?"
"Yes----" Crow nodded solemnly, with an unprecedented heaviness and seriousness on his expression.
Bai Zhou finally feels relieved.
"If you don't remember either, I really don't know what to do----"
He shook his head and did not continue.
This feeling of living in two different worlds from everyone is absolutely uncomfortable. It was like suddenly Bai Zhou was abandoned by the whole world to another timeline.
Fortunately, he still has crows.
Two people who have been missed by the world can at least hug each other in the corner to keep warm.
"Everyone's memory and cognition have been distorted. According to my observation, even the content of Tinghai local chronicles, the character of Luo Tunan" has been changed to Elder Wu"."
"They haven't forgotten Luo Tunan. In their knowledge, Luo Tunan has never appeared before!"
"--This is an extremely horrifying fact!"
Crow said solemnly, "Either there is a big problem with both of our memories."
"Either--"
Crow's expression darkened. "Luo Tunan, the existence of this person has been erased."
"The history of Tinghai has been tampered with, along with the cognition and memory of tens of millions of residents of Tinghai."
"In other words, behind Luo Tunan doing these things, there is probably another Mastermind 1
Are there any experts?
Real or fake?
After hearing this, Bai Zhou couldn't help gritting his teeth.
He missed the quiet and peaceful Evening City again.
Troubled Tinghai.
One Tinghai Authorities that still has waste!
This morning the news was saying that the world is peaceful, the weather is clear, and extraordinary people can go out at night----
Bai Zhou I almost believe it.
"I think this is no longer a question of Authorities or not Authorities."
Crow continued to speak, while his eyes lowered, his voice was so solemn that Bai Zhou felt heavy in his heart.
"Because, if someone can really do this, it means that person erased the existence of Luo Tunan, thus triggering a chain reaction."
"There is suddenly a lack of a person's data in destiny, and the world spontaneously corrects itself in order to conform to cognitive logic, pushing everything to the appropriate scapegoat Elder Wu that that person may have reserved for today in advance--"
Bai Zhou was stunned when he heard it, and he realized that it was just like a crow eating Coffee Beans, in other people's perception, he ate it himself.
The disappeared Major Luo and Elder Wu may also have this relationship.
But----
Can he understand that similar changes have occurred in the dead Major Luo and the living crow?
-Who did it?
How to do it?!
"To achieve this level, even the history of Ashen Remains Archive and the local chronicles of Tinghai have been quietly distorted by it----"
Crow's voice was low. "--At least, that Mastermind also needs a mouthful of B-Class Black Box!"
B-Class Black Box!
Bai Zhou felt a chill in his heart.
Because this is the Black Box level that he has never heard of.
"Black Box Special Management Department of Tinghai City, ban and keep all Black Box within the range of Tinghai City, among which the Black Box with the highest level----are C-level!"
Crow said, "Tianjing Unified Coordination Bureau defines C-Class Black Box as special items that can affect or even destroy a large city, have a crisis radiation range of more than 10,000 square kilometers, and touch forbidden areas."
"This level of Black Box is enough to execute the Demon creature, otherwise Authorities would never have dared to study Demon's body before."
"As far as I know, even if the Tinghai Special Management Department headquarters itself wants to invite a C-Class Black Box, it will take a whole day to prepare carefully and pay a huge price."
"And Class B----"
The crow's voice was heavy. "6
One Tinghai City, no B-Class Black Box!"
"If C-level is a city-destroying crisis that touches the taboo realm, then B-level is a terrifying existence that goes beyond taboos and is generally only sealed in the top ten large cities ranked Federation."
"Only Black Box of this level, standing at the very upper reaches of Extraordinary Path, can do such incredible things!"
Crow's brows were furrowed as never before, indicating the seriousness of the situation. "So----I would rather believe that there is something wrong with our own memory."
At least that way there is hope of solving the problem."
Hearing this, Bai Zhou's heart sank, and then he seemed to think of something.
"If that's the case----" Bai Zhou was puzzled.
"I can understand that you are fine, but why am I not affected?"
He is the only one who remembers the world of Luo Tunan. Would he be happy if Major Luo had a spirit in heaven?
Bai Zhou I would rather be kept in the dark. Sometimes ignorance is a blessing.
"Is it because of the protection of the moonlight----?" Bai Zhou's heart suddenly moved.
He suddenly thought of the dream he had just last night.
He dreamed that the murals were crawling, he dreamed that the pages of the book were turning, and he dreamed that Blood Moon was flying across the sky and Crow was screaming strangely.
Do these indicate that history has been tampered with?
"It's hard to say." Crow shook his head.
"This is also something I'm thinking about."
Maiden frowned in thought, "Perhaps, if we understand this problem, we can find the key to breaking the situation----"
Bai Zhou thought about it for a while, but couldn't find the answer for a while.
"Clatter----"
In the empty toilet, the sound of running water from the faucet is disturbing.
Bai Zhou turned around and turned the faucet shut with a "squeak" sound.
"When I woke up, it seemed like I was still dreaming." Bai Zhou murmured in a low voice, "In other words, everyone in the world seems to be sleepwalking."
Recalling what I experienced after waking up today, Bai Zhou still feels like a dream.
"It's as if everyone is dreaming of a White Day dream, but the two of us are just excluded——"
Talking and talking.
Bai Zhou's voice stopped suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was startled.
White Day dream?
----Daydream?
Somehow, Bai Zhou suddenly remembered a sentence that made a particularly deep impression on him.
It was the first sentence in the letter Uncle Xiang sent him, written on yellowed paper:
[Bai Zhou-]
[Want to join our Daydream?]
