Chapter 1157: Chapter 971: The Price of Luck

"Save" is a magical ability.

This means that no one else knows what exactly happened in the previous archive world except for Song Lan, and even Song Lan himself might not be clear.

The memory blank caused by time reversal is unavoidable; according to the theory she concluded, only when Song Lan is in the same position as before the reversal can he see reflections from the past days.

However, Song Lan is someone who absolutely won’t leave the house if he can stay at home, belonging to the level of a lazybones who doesn’t need any makeup to attend a Halloween party, God knows how many lost memories he has missed.

But Lu Xiang thought, sometimes forgetting some things might not be a bad thing at all.

She walked to the nurse’s station and started going through the medical reports left there.

The cover of the report was very strange, with only half a page of text written, some of the text were cut off in the middle, and as expected, the first page inside was blank.

"Look at that nurse over there."

"Emperor" referred to the nurse sitting at the nurse’s station, who looked to be in her thirties, with short hair, delicate features, facing a blurred figure in front of the nurse’s station and showing a friendly and approachable smile.

She was particularly conspicuous among those with blurred features, yet like the others, she was unaware of their uninvited presence and did not stop Lu Xiang from flipping through the medical report.

"People can remember far more than they think they can."

Lu Xiang put down the medical report, "Those memories you thought you had forgotten, are actually always lingering somewhere in your mind—I read that in a book called ’Depth Memory’."

The obliterated text on the medical report was because the person who passed by the nurse’s station only saw that much; he couldn’t possibly know the specific contents of the medical report, and there was no reason for him to stop in front of the nurse’s station and remember this smiling nurse.

The devil hides in the details.

Lu Xiang stood next to them, the nurse was saying something to two emotionally charged family members in front of her.

The message conveyed by the nurse was undoubtedly a complete disaster, and moments later, the female among the patient’s relatives covered her head in pain and despair and collapsed weakly onto the ground.

At this moment, time rewinded back several years, when the dark era had just ended.

An unprecedented strange disease engulfed the United Government.

Lu Xiang pulled out related records from the "Sea of Souls," and she suddenly believed what they were experiencing at the moment was truly destined.

"The Keeper" leader Benjamin Abell was also here.

He played an extremely important role in that era, using people’s panic about the strange disease to win over hearts, and with near-intimidating methods, started a fierce "Witch Hunt Movement."

"The mental state of those infected is extremely unstable, much like addiction to prohibited drugs, and combined with their status as Psychic, they tend to cause extremely terrible incidents when the disease flares up; Benjamin used this as an opportunity to propagate that Psychics are the incarnation of evil, their existence brings misfortune to those around them."

The continuous vicious cases made people believe in the theory proposed by Benjamin Abell, and more and more people voluntarily joined The Keeper’s group; during this period, Benjamin compiled his experiences in hunting Psychics into theoretical writings.

"How to Kill a Psychic" was the best-selling work of that period.

And the "Witch Hunt Movement" was always filled with extremism and fanaticism.

Initially, they targeted Psychics who had committed crimes, imposing capital punishment on these criminals before the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau could; but soon, they were no longer satisfied with this—they shifted their attention towards all Psychics, and later, anyone suspected of having Psychic talents would face lynching and assassination.

"Wouldn’t they resist?"

RT6 had been paying attention to the other side during the escort process, and couldn’t help but inquire through the "Emperor’s" voice transmission device.

"Although some resistance indeed occurred, some Psychics formed small groups to confront The Keeper, but ultimately they were outnumbered and, with the disease making their mental state extremely unstable, eventually, they were taken down one by one by The Keeper... It must be admitted, in dealing with Psychics, Benjamin was quite accomplished."

Lu Xiang felt, Angle had the most right to speak on this.

If simply comparing combat ability, ten Benjamins probably wouldn’t match him, but The Keeper never followed fair tactics—poisoning, bombings, threatening with friends and family nearby.

These street gang tactics were undoubtedly the part the Psychics were least adept at handling.

Especially since the Psychics themselves were weak, once The Keeper succeeded, they would at best lose their ability to act, or at worst die on the spot.

"From a historical perspective, that period was the darkest days for Psychics."

Even those who were not afflicted by the disease were regarded as heretics, despised and feared by those around them.

"Most of those killed were people who hoped to solve problems through peaceful means."

In times of crisis, kindness often brought them fatal disasters, "and all of this can be traced back to you."
