The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 125 Jiang Chuan is truly a promising talent!

"The headquarters is no longer just 'not a monolithic entity'..."

Jiang Chuan remarked with a sigh, "What's the difference between using this medicine and using white lotus?"

Chen Xingyang said, "As the awakening of memories brings enhanced abilities, such things will become more frequent."

"I don't know what Guo Wenjie was promised, but he was willing to take on such a risky operation..."

"I think he must have been promised something."

"The scariest thing is that these days, no matter what kind of promise it is, it all seems like it could come true."

At this point, Chen Xingyang paused for a moment.

He looked at the ceiling and said with a sigh:
"I need to step up my efforts too."

Chen Xingyang felt powerless during this operation.

In the time before Jiang Chuan woke up, he silently thought about many things.

Considering the current situation and future development... Chen Xingyang was very clear that if he were to simply be content with the status quo, he would be eliminated at any time, or even be silently wiped out.

The very identity of the person in charge of the inspection team speaks volumes.

Jiang Chuan looked at Chen Xingyang with some surprise; it was the first time he had seen Captain Chen with such an expression.

However, listening to his words, Jiang Chuan gained a completely new understanding of the current situation.

Jiang Chuan and Chen Xingyang's conversation didn't last long, ending after Captain Chen said, "I'm going to sleep a little longer."

Unlike Jiang Chuan, Chen Xingyang was seriously injured, and the chessboard did not allow him to heal quickly.

At this time, the body is recovering, and feelings of drowsiness and fatigue are constantly churning in the mind.

After Chen Xingyang fell asleep, the medical station became extremely quiet, so quiet that Jiang Chuan felt extremely bored.

Given Jiang Chuan's personality, this was the perfect time for him to pull out his phone and enjoy a long-awaited moment of mental blankness.

Even the King of Rolls needs rest.

The problem is that his phone was completely destroyed on the highway.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan glanced at the tray on the table beside him, on which were his things.

Besides the broken phone, there was only the dagger that fell when he was kicked away.

Looking at the bent phone with its screen full of cracks, Jiang Chuan felt a pang of regret.

Although I don't want to get hurt, how can I not have my phone during this hard-won recovery time?
Jiang Chuan pondered:

"Looks like the most important thing to do with my first month's salary is to buy a cell phone."

"This has been used for two years... sigh, it really didn't need to be replaced."

"..."

"But it can be considered a new starting point and a new look. It's okay to change it, let's change to something better."

"..."

"I was injured on duty, will this be reimbursed?"

As he was idly thinking about these things, he heard footsteps approaching quickly down the corridor of the medical station.

Zhong Huahua, Lu Ming, and Cheng Shu appeared at the doorway.

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, Lu Ming walked inside and said happily, "Brother Chuan! We've come to see you!"

Jiang Chuan nodded, but at the same time he put a finger to his lips and pointed to Chen Xingyang on the bunk next to him.

Zhong Huahua lowered her voice and asked softly, "Jiang Chuan, how are you?"

"Are you ok?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "I'm really fine."

"Didn't Cheng Shu confirm it back then?"

After saying that, Jiang Chuan realized he had let something slip, and he immediately added:
"The doctor at the medical station also confirmed repeatedly that my physical indicators were above the normal range."

"Extremely healthy."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they didn't realize he had already passed out.

Cheng Shu said solemnly, "Brother Chuan, I still have to thank you."

"If it weren't for you, we would probably all be dead there."

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "No need to say that. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago."

The three had no idea what had happened to Jiang Chuan's mindset when he was sent flying. So, listening to Jiang Chuan's words, they were completely bewildered.

But in reality, the three of them did play a crucial role in this escort mission.

If it weren't for Zhong Huahua, he would still be entangled with that white shirt. If he had continued to be entangled, Captain Chen would probably be dead by now.

If Lu Ming hadn't found the genuine chessboard from the seven boxes and handed it to him, the outcome would have been even more unpredictable.

If Cheng Shu hadn't provided emergency treatment to Chen Xingyang, Chen would likely have died from excessive blood loss, far from achieving the current outcome where everyone survived.

Moreover, it was ultimately the three of them who completed the task.

Seeing the three of them looking at each other, unsure how to respond, Jiang Chuan changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, Lu Ming, how did you do it back then? How did you find that thing?"

As Lu Ming recalled the situation at the time, he began to speak:
"I had just woken up when I saw you, Brother Chuan, and Captain Chen fighting against that guy wielding a gun. I figured the situation was pretty much over, and I was secretly pleased."

"But immediately, Teacher Cao flew over and fell unconscious."

"I knew something was wrong."

Jiang Chuan asked, "So you've decided to open the box?"

Lu Ming scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "No, I was terrified at the time."

"The changes happened so fast, I didn't even think about the box at that time."

"Afterwards, I saw you and Captain Chen get knocked away, and I saw that black T-shirt get pierced. I didn't know what to do, so I just kept pretending to be asleep..."

His face flushed slightly as he said this.

Jiang Chuan thought he was being a bit too sensitive. After all, even if he hadn't pretended to be asleep, there was nothing else he could have done, so there was no need to feel embarrassed.

However, he didn't mention any of that, but just asked with a puzzled look, "When did you open the box?"

Lu Ming said, "When you came back, that's when I heard your voice and what that monster said..."

"He said you wanted to use that thing, and I understood."

Jiang Chuan was stunned: "You were driving that fast?"

Lu Ming was also stunned: "Have you forgotten what I do, Brother Chuan?"

"..."

"No."

"Have you forgotten what my awakened memories were for?"

Even knowing that his past life memories showed him to be a very skilled thief, it still seemed exaggerated.

Guo Wenjie gave himself almost no chance, quickly grabbing his neck in no more than ten seconds... and he found the genuine chessboard?

After asking the question, Lu Ming cleared his throat again.

The topic was brought back on track:

"Actually, we found the genuine product after opening two."

"Not bad luck..."

"Moreover, the genuine article is easy to distinguish. Although the fake has become so realistic that it is indistinguishable from the real thing, you can immediately tell the difference just by touching it."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

The fact that I survived this time truly shows that I found the only chance for success among countless possibilities of failure.

Cheng Shu said, "Brother Chuan needs to rest, let's go."

Zhong Huahua nodded and handed the still-warm food she was carrying to Jiang Chuan.

"I don't know if you can eat this..."

"I chose something light..."

Jiang Chuan took the packed food, and at this moment Lu Ming also said, "Then we'll be going."

However, Jiang Chuan stopped them and said:
"that……"

Do you have a spare phone?

My phone is broken.

Lu Ming nodded: "I have Brother Chuan here. I'm an electronics enthusiast. What brand do you want?"

Jiang Chuan thought he would ask what operating system he wanted, but to his surprise, he asked what brand it was. Could he no longer be described as just an "enthusiast"? With so many phones, were they even legitimately acquired?

However, judging from the clothes Lu Ming was wearing, this kid must be rich.

Jiang Chuan ultimately didn't make any demands, only saying, "Anything is fine, as long as it works well."

Lu Ming gave an "OK" sign and said, "Wait for me, I'll be right there."

Lu Ming quickly brought over a cell phone. He didn't stay long, chatted for a few minutes, and then left.

After he left, Jiang Chuan changed his SIM card, plugged in his phone, turned it on, and logged into his WeChat account.

As soon as I logged into this WeChat account, I saw a lot of unread messages.

The vast majority of these unread messages were, of course, sent from the [Qingshi Elite] group.

Jiang Chuan scrolled through the chat history, scrolling to the top.

I've been too busy lately. Besides being a substitute teacher and doing training, I've been helping the police station solve cases. I haven't had time to check the group chat, and Tang Songming has been posting way too much stuff in it.

Then there's Song Xi. The first thing they did upon arriving in Yanjing was to have a nice meal, and Song Xi posted many photos of the delicious food. After that, Tian Tian posted photos of their dorm rooms. Yanjing provided these exchange students with double and triple rooms, which gave them even more topics to discuss in the group chat.

The chat history I'm looking at right now, which was just loaded onto this new phone, is from September 13th, which is today, but it still has 99+ messages.

Their daily life in Yanjing went smoothly. Seven days have passed since they set off, and their exchange and study program there will end in eight more days.

Because of what happened today, the training schedule for Class Two has to be postponed. After all, Jiang Chuan's phone is broken, and the software that Cao Zhigang installed for him can't be used, so the Bronze Man Formation can't be activated. Even if Jiang Chuan wanted to attend class while sick, he couldn't.

I estimate that by the time they return from Yanjing, Class Two should have finished as well.

He scrolled through the chat history, from the earliest messages to the latest.

Tang Songming: [Brother Jiang has remained silent for a long time; I wonder if he is observing from the shadows?]

Jiang Chuan smiled when he saw this.

I never expected this kid to be so perceptive; he could sense it even from a thousand kilometers away.

However, he remained underwater and did not speak.

Tian Tian: [Even if he saw it, he wouldn't say anything.]

Unless, @LiYi.

Li Yi: [What's wrong?]

Tian Tian: [How many guys wanted to add you on WeChat today? @Jiang Chuan.]

Tang Songming: [I see. I am not as intelligent as Miss Tian.]

Ai Zhe: [Good tactic.]

Li Yi: [Nobody wants to add me on WeChat.]

Song Xi: [Image], [Image], [Image].

Song Xi: [Brother Chuan! Look at what we've been eating lately! The roast duck here is different from the one in Qing City, it's so delicious!]

Lin Ci: [Get some rest. Jiang Chuan should be doing extra training right now. Don't fall too far behind.]

Chen Ming: [I was asleep, and the noise woke me up. Brother Tang, could you please say less?]

Ai Zhe: [What the hell are you sleeping for? I've been watching the light stay on under your blankets the whole time.]

Chen Ming: [That's my sleep-companion video!]

Chen Ming: [Angry]

Tian Tian: [It seems Jiang Chuan really didn't see it. Did he mute the group chat? @JiangChuan]

Chen Ming: [You're less than a meter and a half away from me, why did you have to say it in the group chat?]

Ai Zhe: [Didn't you also mention this in the group chat?]

Chen Ming: [I definitely need to explain!]

Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties: [Finding Brother Jiang is indeed difficult!]

Tang Songming: [How is Brother Jiang doing these days? Has Brother Jiang broken any records?]

Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties: [It's been so long since we last met; I miss you dearly.]

Tian Tian: [Huh~!]

Ai Zhe and Chen Ming remained silent after that. Lin Ci tried to persuade them to go to bed early, but to no avail. Lin Ci then stopped speaking altogether.

Tang Songming also stopped speaking after Lin Ci stopped talking.

Liang Cheng quickly posted a picture showing Lin Ci snatching Tang Songming's phone; the three of them lived in a three-person dormitory.

Jiang Chuan remained submerged throughout, but as he watched them chat, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

As he looked around, his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

I felt a pang of emotion; fate is truly wondrous.

If they hadn't been sent to Yanjing, he would most likely have called Lin Ci, Li Yi, and Chen Ming to join him on this mission...

It's hard to say how things will end.

Considering the extent of Guo Wenjie's abnormal behavior after taking the drug, without Lu Ming's lock-picking skills... it's likely they won't be able to come back.

As Jiang Chuan thought about it, he remembered the two students from the Song City organization who were wielding guns.

Are they like me?
Do I have many friends in the training courses at the Songshi organization?
If I were in that black T-shirt position, the feeling would be... unimaginable.

Jiang Chuan felt that if it were him, he would have gone crazy long ago.

The frequency of messages in the group decreased and eventually stopped, indicating that they had all gone to sleep.

Jiang Chuan, on the other hand, started scrolling through short videos again, cherishing this hard-won rest time.

He has been very concerned about the follow-up to the video he watched in Dean Xu's office last time.

The chubby boy wanted to experience the life of a court musician for a week, and he was very curious about it.

However, the video recorded this time did not bring Jiang Chuan any surprises. They were all simulated scenarios, far less realistic than the previous episode about the construction workers in Chang'an.

As Jiang Chuan scrolled through his phone with his mind completely blank, he soon fell asleep.

……

At the same time, on the other side.

Yanjing, the organization's headquarters.

At the end of the seventeenth-floor corridor, a huge office was still brightly lit.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, but still looking radiant, was sitting behind a desk, processing documents in his hands.

A secretary knocked and entered, saying respectfully:

"Sir, the chessboard has been sent to the encrypted repository."

“Number A3: The Rotten Chessboard is the first time-related ancient artifact we have acquired.”

The old man calmly nodded: "Alright."

The secretary then added, "Both the technical team and the artisan team have submitted applications to use the technology. What do you think we should do?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "No rush, it's too early. Let them finish their current projects as soon as possible."

The secret technique nodded, and then he handed a document he was holding to the old man.

"This is a summary report of this escort mission."

"The details of the attack, as well as the information in the report submitted by the city of Matsushita, are all included."

The old man nodded, took the document, and quickly scanned the situation described in the handwriting.

But as soon as he glanced at it, he frowned:
"Jiangchuan?"

"This name... I vaguely remember it."

The secretary nodded and said with a smile:
"Sir, this is a promising talent discovered by Group Leader Li Yu of Group Three. You have spoken with him about this child."

"His situation is a bit special..."

"He is the only one known to date who has no awakened memories."

The old man suddenly realized that although his impression of the name was vague, he remembered the uniqueness of the name very clearly.

He immediately recalled a conversation he had with Li Yu back then.

He looked at the document in his hand in surprise, then chuckled and said:

"This young man has grown up very quickly."

"Little Li really didn't misjudge me."

"Oh, right……"

"Are the children from Qing City studying here recently? He hasn't come?"

The secretary nodded: "Yes, because of the Tang Dynasty tomb in Qing City, the teacher in charge of the Qing City organization was sent to the vicinity of the tomb to strengthen security."

"Jiang Chuan is currently a substitute teacher for the second training class of the Qing City organization and has not been able to come here."

The old man slapped his forehead: "Right..."

"Qing City, and also this Tang Dynasty tomb."

"We really don't have enough manpower..."

“Let these kids go on such dangerous missions.”

"But this is good, it will help them grow up faster."
