Chapter 79: Chapter 75 Strange Memories

Reflecting on the events of the past, Lu Tianming sighed, "So from that time, I knew there were immortals in the world."

"I hid behind him, feeling utterly safe, trusting him was enough, and other risks could be ignored. This was the intuition of a six-year-old."

"It’s just a pity that after leaving Paradise, he disappeared without a trace, I don’t know where he went... such a pity, such a pity..."

"If my older brother were still alive, he would surely be capable of investigating the Blood Demon."

"Even, I believe he had the potential to become Number One..."

After speaking these words, Lu Tianming calmed his emotions and sighed once more.

Not a single sound came through the Conch Headphones, meaning all the upper council members were deep in thought.

Becoming Number One is very hard!

Be it personal will, talent, knowledge, or spiritual power, there can be no deficiencies in any aspect.

For many periods in history, the Black-clothed Guard did not have a Number One; there was only a barely acceptable Number Two to organize the internal affairs.

Number Twelve, who seemed lazy, actually held great pride. Whether it was combat will, wisdom, or experience, he was ranked among the top within the Black-clothed Guard. Now to speak so highly of someone...

Alright, that person has been missing for decades; there really wasn’t much hope of finding him.

More than forty years ago, a person without any information, whose face we didn’t even know, could not be found by Divination.

Unless it was... the Laplace Demon!

But, consulting the Laplace Demon at the first sign of difficulty was a suicidal act.

"Forget it, forget it. Discussing a person who has been missing for so long is not very meaningful."

Number One lamented.

With the Black-clothed Guard’s multitude of talents, there would surely be someone capable of investigating the Blood Demon; we can’t possibly resort to asking the Laplace Demon to find someone who has been missing for many years.

Perhaps that person is already dead...

"Is there no more information?"

"That’s it, there’s really no more... Sigh, let me think, it’s so troublesome..."

Lu Tianming began to dry puff on his last cigarette, trying hard to remember the events of the past.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recall any details.

His childhood memories were in a state of chaos; in that village, his reasoning continually diminished, causing his memories to be fragmented.

After today, he would forget what actually happened yesterday...

However, in that instant, as if he had an epiphany, a switch in his mind seemed to have been flipped... A flash of inspiration, like lightning, streaked through his mind and illuminated his entire spiritual world.

The long-silent depths of his heart began to stir, and that slight ripple grew stronger, turning into a vast tsunami in the blink of an eye!

Lu Tianming jolted up from his lethargic state like a carp leaping out of water!

Hmm?!

"I remember, old man!! The Blood Ginseng man, he’s dead! He died there, and I buried him with my own hands?!!"

"Corn cakes, and Biaozi! I remember some things! Ah, I remember!"

The more Lu Tianming thought, the more astonished he became. As his memories slowly resurfaced, his heart raced, and he felt an unprecedented shock.

He... remembered!

It came with an increasingly frightening implication.

"Take your time, no rush."

And the members of the Black-clothed Guard listened quietly to his story, however bizarre, without interrupting for a good while.

This was discipline.

This unbelievable story also shocked everyone, because the protagonist of the story was only ten years old, an age still for playing in the mud!

"Could it be a superpower of the Time System?"

Number One murmured to himself, "Only a superpower of the Time System could do these things, right? A 10-year-old child possessing a Time System ability; how terrifying that aptitude must be..."

Lu Tianming smiled contentedly and said, "You all would never guess, but the last thing my older brother said to me and the gift he gave me left a deep impression."

"The world is vast, the scenery is beautiful, there are many opportunities, and life is short. This is just a minor setback for now. Here, let me give you a small gift."

"If you survive, join the Black-clothed Guard. With this experience, you shouldn’t be too weak."

After saying these two sentences, he chuckled twice and then disclosed a statement that made the upper council members’ jaws drop, "Do you know what he gave me?"

"He gave me an Immortal Bean as a gift! I clearly remember that emerald-green Immortal Bean, I really liked it, I couldn’t have remembered it wrong."

"Then my memories after that are completely gone... I still don’t remember how I left that damned place."

"That was just the first episode with my older brother..."

"Well, that’s everything I know. He actually gave me an Immortal Bean, haha."

Wait a minute, an Immortal Bean?!

An Immortal Bean!

"Ah?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Beyond that, there was not a single sound coming through the Conch Headphones.

After about a minute, Number 28, the petite Immortal Bean Lady, asked incoherently, "That... Immortal Bean... it’s impossible."

"The Immortal Bean wasn’t developed until recent years through biotechnology and supernatural studies, right? It couldn’t have existed decades ago."

"How could your older brother possibly have had an Immortal Bean? You remembered wrong, right? Is it the Mandela Effect?"

The Immortal Bean is a unique product bred through genetic science and supernatural studies.

It requires the effort and trials of numerous scientists.

The chances of it growing naturally are almost zero!

The Immortal Bean can be split and used; one bean can be divided into dozens to hundreds of smaller portions, ground into powder granules, each of which could save lives.

Especially, it greatly increases Spirit Resistance, Satiety, and rapid wound healing, which are life-saving when resisting certain oddities, significantly reducing the mortality rate of Investigators!

But now, someone had an Immortal Bean as a gift forty years ago?

And a 10-year-old kid?

Of course, the scale of the Etheric Abyss is infinitely large. As long as the probability is not zero, anything can happen.

But no matter how you think about it, the probability is too low.

"You can also believe that I remembered wrong, anyway, these are all I remember."

Lu Tianming said, stammering a bit.

He was completely confused, feeling that his memory was disordered.

However, this memory was so vivid.

He indeed recalled loving that Immortal Bean dearly, wishing he could hold it under his tongue all the time, even wanting to sleep with it.

"Did you eventually eat it?"

"I don’t know... I probably did, since there’s still a big blank in my memory after that. I completely don’t understand how I left that village."

Number 28 cocked her head and asked again, "That... every Immortal Bean has an identity number, do you remember the number imprinted on it?"
