Chapter 1770 The 'Situation' Behind 'Hawk' (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tic

Chapter 1770 The 'Situation' Behind 'Hawk' (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
The upside-down spirit drifted in the void, her long, flowing hair swaying in the wind. Her cloudy eyes stared at He Ao's calm face. After a brief pause, she opened her mouth slightly and said, "I forgot."

He Ao: ······

Without further ado, he raised his hand and pressed it against the undead's brow.

A purple glow instantly covered his eyes, then his body, flowing out from his fingers and into the undead's body.

Judging from the state of this spirit, her death must have been very quick. There were no wounds left on her body, and even her soul was intact. Her death was instantaneous, and the person who killed her was far more powerful than her.

She may not have had a chance to resist, or even to put up an effective resistance, before she was turned into an undead.

This might be some special ability of the killer, directly and forcibly killing people and then forcibly transforming them into undead.

The killer is likely a superhuman who has attained some form of death, and may possess abilities similar to those of a necromancer.

However, somewhat unusually, the killer did not take her spirit away, but left it there.

Even without the talent sequence, the soul of a C-level superhuman is still excellent material for mystical studies. Even if used as a laborer, it is better than an ordinary soul.

As the power of hypermemory entered her body, He Ao's gaze also became slightly focused.

Fragments of memories surfaced in He Ao's mind.

He saw from a first-person perspective that the spirit 'himself' covered up the notebook, hid it in a hidden compartment under the bed, and then moved the bed back to its original position.

Then the spirit raised the bracelet and found the nickname 'Butterfly' in the contact information.

Butterfly is Natasha's stage name.

At that very moment, the sound of soft footsteps echoed throughout my memory, and then the memory abruptly ended.

He quickly scanned the souls near this memory and received feedback that everything was normal.

If memories are erased, some blank space will remain.

This situation occurs either because the other party has a far greater understanding of memories and souls than He'ao, or because the spirit has already died in that instant, without even having the chance to turn around and see who came.

Based on the observations just made, He Ao is more inclined to the latter judgment.

He Ao glanced at the spirit's last memories again, and after confirming that she truly knew nothing, he raised his eyes, his brown-gold pupils gleaming with purple light.

He continued to delve deeper into the soul of the deceased, searching for her deeper memories.

Soon, he experienced some memory gaps.

These blank spaces are very obvious, as if this part of the soul has been forcibly torn apart, far less simple and beautiful than the blank spaces in the memories of the death priests that He Ao had encountered before.

The source of these memory gaps seems to be different from that of the death priests. This method is more like the effect of manipulating the soul of the dead after their death.

Moreover, it was the kind of crude, unskilled operation.

It's like forcefully tearing open a clean sheet of white paper, ripping off a small piece, leaving behind a pitted and uneven mess.

This was done very sloppily.

As someone with considerable expertise in memory, He Ao felt a sense of wasting his talents.

However, the part of the memory that was forcibly torn off should be the memory of the 'Hawk' talent sequence that the undead possessed, which was flawed.

Therefore, this undead has no recollection of what exactly is wrong with Hawke's talent sequence.

He shook his head and continued searching deep into his memory.

But memory is something that, once it has existed, will most likely leave some trace.

The person who tore apart the memory was clearly not very skilled in memory techniques. Such a person could not completely erase the memory, and might leave some clues in other places.

Since this undead, or rather the black market merchant Morolin, could clearly point out that Hawke's talent sequence was problematic, it means that she possessed concrete information and evidence.

These materials and evidence always have a source and will always leave traces in our memories.

However, He Ao soon encountered a second problem.

The soul of this deceased is no longer complete.

The person who turned Morrowin into an undead did indeed protect most of Morrowin's soul.

But this could not stop Morrowline's own soul from dissipating.

Necromantic spells can only slow down the dissipation of the dead, but cannot stop it.

As the soul dissipates, some memories are naturally erased.

Those memories that were forcibly torn apart and left with traces are the easiest to fade away.

Five years have passed, and very few of these fragmented memories remain.

Even after He Ao searched carefully, he couldn't find any similar memories.

Ultimately, he found a 'clue' in his earlier memories.

In a hazy, fading memory, Mollorine seems to be repeatedly recalling the phrase 'wilderness wanderer'.

This may be the initial clue.

Heo delves into Molorine's memories, searching for all those related to the wilderness wanderer.

But as a black market merchant, it was almost inevitable that she would come into contact with the Wilderness Wanderers. In Molorine's memory, there were countless memories related to the Wilderness Wanderers.

Only after she went into seclusion in Limen City did her memories related to the wilderness wanderer become scarce, which allowed He Ao to pinpoint this term.

After a brief moment of thought, Heo shifted the timeline back to about fourteen years ago, when 'Hawk' acquired Hell Manager Materials.

At that time, Mollorine was active in the Midwestern United States.

These memories have become somewhat blurred due to the passage of time, but He Ao could probably sense that at this moment, Morolin was constantly in a state of tension and excitement.

At that moment, some 'holes' appeared in her memory. These 'holes' were much prettier than the pitted holes from before, like neat circles carved on paper with a round carving knife.

These memory gaps are similar to those of the Death Priests.

It seems that during this period of memory, Morrill had already acquired the 'Hell Manager' talent sequence.

He continued to push the timeline forward. This time, he began to directly search for the memory gaps in Morrowlin's memory, about sixteen years ago, two years before Hawke and Morrowlin made their deal.

He found Molorine's first memory gap.

However, the memories surrounding this memory void are even more blurred, with almost no useful information.

During this time, Morolin was active in the eastern part of the Federation, near Dawn City, and was in contact with superhumans related to Dawn City. At this time, she had not even been promoted to C-level and was an unknown nobody.

She could only scrape by on the fringes of the wilderness and chaotic neighborhoods between cities.

At that time, Christos, who was still young, was much more famous than her.

After a brief moment of thought, He Ao began to recall the past.

If he were the high-ranking being who manipulates memories, he wouldn't leave the first memory trace on the target when they first met him.

Instead, they would roughly push back the timeline, logically erase some memories, and mislead other investigators who might be able to access those memories.

The real troubles for Mollorine probably began when she started to rise to fame.

When a nobody suddenly becomes a big shot, it's highly likely that they've had some kind of stroke of luck and met some kind of 'benefactor'.

And this 'benefactor' might be the one who changes everything.

Moreover, this 'growth' experience is unlikely to be erased.

If Molorine couldn't even remember her own history of how she rose to power, it would easily arouse the suspicion of Hawke, who had been navigating the supernatural world for decades.

Soon, He Ao roughly pinpointed the period when Mollorine rose to fame.

About fifteen years ago, she came to the western part of the Federation for some reason that was erased, and became a black market merchant in the wilderness of the Midwest.

During this period, she always seemed to be able to find some good materials that others couldn't, and then sell them.

In her memory, it seemed to be her 'luck'; she was good at hiding in corners, spying on the battles between superhumans, and then coming out to collect the loot when they were both exhausted.

However, in reality, these experiences only account for a small part of her memory; most of her source material is actually blank.

It was during this time that she collected the secret recipe and main ingredients for 'Talent Sequence 87: Recorder' and successfully advanced to Rank C.

The memory of this promotion is complete, and it was indeed Molorine's own ability to collect these secret recipes and materials.

After she was promoted to C-level, she began to experience frequent gaps in her memory.

It was during that period that she became most famous and began to reveal herself in the black market under various identities.

She naturally encountered many people who coveted her, but she always managed to escape danger in the end.

Of course, the process of escaping danger is mostly a blank in memory.

To be honest, there were many blanks in her memory during that period, but even with the recorder's abilities, she didn't realize the problem until many years later, which left He Ao somewhat bewildered.

However, at that time, she was likely under the influence of that high-ranking figure behind the scenes for a long time, so it's normal that she wasn't aware of it.

During the previous dungeon run, He Ao was also being watched by that hidden eye until the very end.

This memory is indeed problematic, but there are too many problematic parts and timelines, so many that He Ao couldn't immediately pinpoint the source of the problem.

But after a brief moment of thought, Heo narrowed down the timeline to the three months before the deal between Molorine and Hawke.

Molorine was very high-profile throughout the process, which attracted a lot of unnecessary trouble, some of which may have even been resolved by the Church of Death behind her.

But if she hadn't been so high-profile and made herself famous so quickly, Hawke wouldn't have paid attention to her, or even trusted her.

Therefore, this high-profile approach may be deliberately orchestrated behind the scenes.

However, this high profile also brings a problem: good things in Mollorine's hands are very likely to be lost.

In Hawke's memory, Molorine and he exchanged money for goods, which means that at the time of the transaction, the 'Hell Manager' was already in Molorine's hands.

Therefore, it's highly likely that when she obtained the Hell Manager talent sequence, the time for the transaction was already very close.

He quickly searched for Morrowin's memories from the three months prior to the transaction. These memories were normal; Morrowin traveled around, mainly active in the Midwest, but her location was not fixed, and there were large gaps in her memories.

But He Ao also noticed something 'unusual'.

That is, Molorine once returned to the eastern region with a caravan to trade with her former business partners.

However, the transaction did not take place near Dawn City, where she had previously been active, but in the wilderness near Irons.

Strictly speaking, it's between Irons and Dawn City, closer to Irons.

Upon seeing this, He Ao quickly went back and retrieved all of Molorin's memories from her 'growing up' period.

It was discovered that Morrowle frequently traveled this route, and although the caravans and trading partners were different each time, she always returned to the vicinity of Ains.

It seems that all her former 'trading partners' in Dawn City have suddenly moved to the vicinity of Irons.

And each time, she would stay here for several days.

He quickly retrieved the destinations from her memory, then raised her wristband, entered the information into it, and added the length of time she spent in each place.

Soon, a map projection appeared in He Ao's field of vision. Eve marked all these places on the map and drew an action map according to the waiting time and the radius of action.

An area where all the action maps roughly intersect appeared in He Ao's field of vision.

That was near Irons, but not in any small town; it was in a wilderness.

The wilderness outside the city of Ains.

Immediately afterwards, two bright lights appeared in the wilderness.

These are two camps for homeless people in this area.

One is big, and one is small.

He Ao raised his eyes and looked at the lower right corner of the map.

The store is located here.

Leaving the store, it's very close to the wilderness shown on the map.

He Ao withdrew his hand and glanced at the undead hanging upside down in front of him.

Was it really 'Molorine's' own idea to choose to hide away in 'Limen City'?

"Hungry—" At that moment, the undead opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and looked at He Ao, "I'm hungry—"
