[Seeing the other party's seemingly provocative gesture, you were left speechless—or rather, helpless.]
[Whether you recalled "Number Two Other-Self" into the [Hollow Willow]'s internal world or tried other methods, nothing could eradicate this eerie "memory scene."]
[You even began to doubt whether this was a "memory scene" at all. No matter what you did, you couldn't turn it off!]
[His Great Dao's Voice still resounded through your sea of consciousness. If [Purple Talent: I Am the Chess Player] hadn't stopped issuing warnings, you would have gone straight for a desperate gamble with [Purple Talent: Wish Echo].]
[You also wanted to open the [Chat Group] and ask Wu Yong, but after thinking it over, you abandoned the idea.]
[There wasn't a single trustworthy fellow in the [Chat Group]. Telling them might stir up some unexpected trouble, and Wu Yong was the very culprit behind your current predicament.]
[Looking at the "memory scene," which was still transmitting Li Ping's Great Dao's Voice,]
[You suddenly felt helpless. You knew this might be the ability of one of his [entries]; otherwise, it couldn't possibly have rendered all your methods useless.]
[Meanwhile, inside the "memory scene," that "Li Ping" once again spoke with the Great Dao's Voice, his tone as casual as idle conversation:]
["Chen Fan, I know what you're thinking. You want to shake me off, to shake off the contingency I left behind before my death. A lovely fantasy, but..."]
[His tone abruptly shifted, and he declared with iron certainty:]
["A fantasy is all it can be. You cannot undo a contingency of this caliber—at least, you cannot undo it as you are now. Otherwise, you couldn't have triggered it!"]
[Hearing this, you, who had remained silent all along, couldn't help voicing the question on your mind:]
["Is this your Golden Finger's ability?"]
