Deep into the Tiger's Den

Yasuo has regained his memories, but he doesn't recognize me and has never heard of the name "Ezreal," so he doesn't understand my thoughts at all. ♢💚 Claw 🏆😳

I have no memory of what happened before, and I don't know why, but I always feel like I knew Yasuo before, because that vague feeling seems to be able to break through the shackles in my heart at any moment.

To figure this out, I need Camille to help me regain my memories, or I need to find those two experts at the base, but that seems almost impossible right now.

We are no match for Camille, nor can we persuade her. Expecting her to voluntarily help me regain my memories is utterly absurd.

At this point, Yasuo suggested a solution. "Things aren't completely impossible yet. We can go back to Piltover and think of a way."

"Go back to Piltover? Isn't that just walking into a trap?"

"It could be that they've walked right into a trap, or it could be that they've escaped."

"What's the meaning?"

"We can pretend to be captured by [Doom] and his crew, then we'll inevitably be sent back to Piltover. We can see if we can uncover any secrets then."

"I don't think things are that simple. Once we get back, our memories will definitely be erased, and we might even lose the clues we have now."

"I have a way."

After Yasuo finished speaking, he led us down the mountain in another direction, and after passing through dense forests, we arrived at a temple.

The temple guard knew him well. "Yasuo? I heard you went missing. What happened?"

"It's a long story. I was captured by the enemy. Is Lord Harbinger inside?"

"Yes, do you want to see her?"

"Yes, this is my friend Ezreal. We need something from him."

"Come with me!"

The guards led us into the temple, which, unlike the solemn and majestic Demacia, seemed quite mysterious.

The surrounding walls are painted with the gods they worship: the God of Wind, the God of Wood, and the God of Death; it's unknown whether they actually exist.

The temple's masters are the Harbinger, the representatives of the gods on earth, and the most authoritative figures on this continent.

The Harbinger here was an old woman who smiled at us and greeted us in sign language, but I couldn't understand her.

If the Project Armor were still there, the database would answer my question, but right now I'm just an ordinary person.

After exchanging words for a while, Yasuo said to me, "Ezreal, I just asked the Harbinger One to Consciousness Sealing. This will protect our consciousness and prevent our memories from being damaged."

"Can this method be used against Camille?"

"I don't know either, I can only try. Of course, I won't force you, I just want to rescue my friend."

"According to you, Wei and Huo Su are my friends, so let's go together!"

This is probably the only way, so I decided to give it a try. Otherwise, what can someone without memories do?

Alanta wants to come with us too. "Count me in. Since you and Xiao Li are both in Piltover, I can't stay in Ionia alone."

"Okay, that way, whether we succeed or not, the three of us will be together!"

After eating a whole bowl of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), we left the temple and returned to the cliff we had been on before. Yasuo helped me remove my armor there; the Project Squad will definitely be looking for us.

Sure enough, we met halfway up the cliff. Warwick's tracking ability was very strong, and to make up for the speed difference, they even called Jinx over.

Of course, even if they don't call for reinforcements, we won't run away. This time, we're going deep into the lion's den!

We were quickly "defeated." Alanta and I were captured. Yasuo pretended to run away, but Jinx blasted him down with a bomb.

Camille gave me a month to capture Yasuo when I left last time, and I'm back in less than ten days, though in a slightly different way.

Before being sent to the lab, she came to see us in person. "Long time no see [Feng], your betrayal really hurts me."

"Ha, you'd better kill me, or I'll run away again."

"Run away... Is running away all you've learned from me?"

"If I could, I wouldn't mind killing you, so that no one else would suffer from your cruelty in the future."

"Then you can try taking them to the lab!"

Following Camille's orders, we were modified once again, and when I woke up, I found that my memories were indeed still there!

It seems that Consciousness Sealing of the Harbinger is indeed effective, but I cannot show it, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain.

Our names remain [Wind] and [Future], Alanta is called [Youlan] because Camille thinks she has the elegance of an orchid.

Yasuo and Alanta looked at me with cold eyes, like strangers. I knew they were putting on an act, and in fact, my performance wasn't bad either.

At this time, Demacia and Noxus launched a joint attack on Piltover. They had sent large armies to attack several times, all of which ended in failure.

Camille did an excellent job defensively; no wonder she was so confident that this place was impenetrable.

However, this situation is still detrimental to Piltover in the long run, as it is a small place and cannot sustain a continuous supply of resources and food.

Yasuo, Alanta, and I weren't sent to the front lines; instead, we were assigned a special mission:

Connect with the pirates in Bilgewater and purchase supplies from them.

The southern part of Piltover is an inland sea, where the forces of the Denizens and Nova cannot penetrate, so we can obtain some necessary supplies by sea.

However, pirates have no credibility, so we must proceed with caution. Camille, on the other hand, doesn't care; she even allows us to use force.

We set off from Zaun, boarded Hextech submarine, and headed to the center of the sea. We didn't talk about anything except negotiations along the way.

Camille definitely watching us closely now, so we need to be careful. Yasuo also reverted to his previous tone:

"I'll take charge of the negotiations after we meet. Don't act impulsively. The situation is critical; a peaceful resolution is the best outcome."

"Yes, sir Wind Team..."

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as I said it, I realized something was wrong, because Yasuo wasn't the captain anymore, and my calling him that clearly showed I had past memories.

Fortunately, I spoke very softly at the end, and Alanta drowned it out. I guess Camille won't notice.

The pirate captain Gangplank. He had been trading with Zaun for many years and was always cunning.

Choosing him as a trading partner is quite risky, but given his long-standing animosity with Noxus, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, which is a unique reason.

We soon arrived at Gangplank's "Abyss," a sea fortress.

The spacious deck was comparable in size to that of a typical town, while the large and small cabins resembled towering buildings, carrying tens of thousands of crew members and equipped with all kinds of guns and firearms.

These aren't pirates, they're a naval army!
