Don't Forget Who You Are!

Like Yang Lin, Jiang Chen rushed to the ground in a few steps. With a wave of his hand, the dark figure spun its weapon and plunged it into the ground.

"You guessed right earlier: the strength of the souls I resurrected is closely related to their reputation and legends during their lives and after death."

"And the man before you is none other than the infamous Butcher of Warring States."

"The so-called Han Bai Wei Huo are mentioned together, which shows their achievements. After the Six Dynasties, this person was included in the pantheon of gods and ghosts by Daoism, given a divine status, ranked among the immortals, and worshipped as a divine general."

"Do you remember what I just said? The double dragon breaking through the wall on the coffin board symbolizes ascension."

"If my ability were a gacha game, then this card would undoubtedly be a top-tier SSR!"

"Is this the tomb of Lord Wu'an Bai Qi?"

As Yang Lin spoke, he put his right hand behind his back, and the Dragon Talisman slid off his sleeve and into his palm.

"That's right."

Jiang Chen slowly stepped forward as he spoke, "Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao were unparalleled kings and invincible generals. I originally intended to take their remains to appease their spirits, but alas, Heaven has been unkind and has repeatedly disrupted my plans."

"Unexpectedly, through a series of coincidences, we ended up finding the tomb of this butcher. It can be considered..."

Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, Yang Lin suddenly activated the power of the Dragon Talisman, unleashing a pillar of flames that shot straight at Jiang Chen!

Seeing this, Jiang Chen waved his right hand, and Bai Qi's phantom instantly appeared in front of him, then swung his weapon at the flames!

Boom!

A loud bang was heard, dust rose, and sparks flew everywhere.

Jiang Chen waved his hand, and the dust dispersed, but Yang Lin's figure had already disappeared.

"You really don't give me any face. I haven't even finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave? After all... I didn't really intend to kill you."

Bai Qi's phantom dissipated and returned to Jiang Chen's hand as black mist, transforming into a single-leaf grass.

At that moment, a man in black robes appeared behind Jiang Chen without warning.

"I did exactly as you said."

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes' eyes flashed beneath his mask. "If I had arrived a moment later, I'm afraid these words wouldn't have come."

Jiang Chen grinned. The reason he suddenly stopped and started verbally attacking Yang Lin was because Meng Qing had quietly appeared here.

"No matter what the process is, at least the result is the same."

"Now, our business is considered settled, Seth."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qing suddenly grabbed Jiang Chen by the neck. His movements were swift, lasting only a blink of an eye. "The end?"

"You think I can't catch you just because you have a ghost?"

"Don't forget your identity, who made you part of the sequence."

Jiang Chen flipped his wrist, and black energy instantly surged out from his wrist, breaking free from Meng Qing's restraints!

The black ghost of Bai Qi appeared before Meng Qing, and upon seeing this, the bandage in Meng Qing's hand tore apart, revealing the Demon Blade.

Bai Qi's ghost suddenly attacked, and Meng Qing drew his Demon Blade and parried the opponent's weapon with an upward slash. Just as the ghost was about to move, countless Silk Thread pierced through Bai Qi's body at that moment!

Before Jiang Chen could react, Meng Qing suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked him to the ground!

Meng Qing stomped heavily on his chest, while pressing the Demon Blade against his neck.

"If you want to stay out of it before my plan is complete, first think about whether you have the ability."

"Remember this: as long as you can't beat me, you'll always be a member of the Hand of the Serpent."

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, "... Yes, Lord Set."

Bai Qi's ghostly phantom dissipated, and Meng Qing sheathed his Demon Blade.

Jiang Chen slowly got up from the ground. "... I don't understand, what's so special about that policeman named Yang Lin that makes you care so much?"

Meng Qing glanced at him sideways, "That's not something you should be concerned about."

After saying that, Meng Qing's figure disappeared directly in front of Jiang Chen.

After a long while, Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, "Seth, 006, if we could resurrect him as a ghost..."

Jiang Chen had previously told Yang Lin that he refused to use his abilities to avoid the Nine-Tailed Fox and was willing to be imprisoned for three years in order to avoid attracting Nine-Tailed Fox attention.

That's not actually the case.

Jiang Chen did not come out of the Game Space, nor did he have any potions.

He was originally a member of the Hand of the Serpent, and was ordered by Meng Qing to carry out a mission that was related to a sequence.

Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Jiang Chen and that sequence of events inexplicably swapped bodies.

Jiang Chen finally learned that it was all Meng Qing's arrangement, a script he had planned himself.

The bodies were swapped due to the effect of an Ancient Relic.

Ancient Relic —this term might sound unfamiliar.

Because it appeared along with Sea King, it was eventually sealed away in the library of 024.

But for some reason, Meng Qing stole several Ancient Relic from the library.

One of these is an Ancient Relic called the Scales of Justice.

It has a terrifying effect: it allows two people to swap consciousness.

Jiang Chen's consciousness swapped with that sequence's consciousness, and Meng Qing killed Jiang Chen's original body, allowing Jiang Chen to take the place of that sequence.

And that sequence is the Resurrected Soul.

After that, Meng Qing gave Jiang Chen a task.

Tell him to wait.

Jiang Chen asked, "When will we have to wait?"

Meng Qing said that they would have to wait until the poplar trees bloomed in the first month of the lunar calendar.

The plan went smoothly, but in the process, Jiang Chen gradually developed a rebellious streak, but Meng Qing didn't care.

Meanwhile, Yang Lin returned to North Ridge City.

He stood in front of the police station, hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

He didn't go home; he just walked around the street in casual clothes.

Whether it's Jiang Chen or the Nine-Tailed Fox, they're probably looking for him now—at home and at work. For their sake, it's the right thing for him not to go back.

As night fell, Yang Lin settled down at a hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the first thing he did was take "The Serpent's Dream" out of the bag behind him.

Taking out the Serpent's Dream, Yang Lin also took out the document that Meng Qing had given him earlier.

He had already experienced the benefits of Snake Scale; they were a vital means of survival, so naturally, the more Snake Scale the better.

Ideally, all twenty-four Snake Scale would be obtained.

But one thing was strange: Yang Lin couldn't remember the specific content of the book while reading it.

This might be the rule of this book: once you've read it, you'll forget it.

Yang Lin then took out a small box from his bag, inside which was a Golden Orb.

That is, Golden Lotus Seed.

If Jiang Chen wasn't lying, this thing would grant someone photographic memory and limitless learning ability.

So... Yang Lin took a deep breath and then put the Golden Orb into his mouth.

It melted upon entering the mouth, and the golden ball vanished.

But Yang Lin's pupils turned gold at that moment!
