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

Chapter 138 The True Identity of the Tomb Owner
Jiang Chuan looked at the corpse in front of him. He was lying next to the car, clearly having been attacked as he got out of the vehicle.

Fang Yi understood why he was so surprised.

If someone launches an attack from inside the car, it means that even if the four of them are together, their safety is greatly reduced.

But... was the attack really launched from inside the car?

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "The attack did not originate from inside the car."

"The attack went through the car."

"Someone is attacking them from the other side."

Fang Yi was also worried and confused. He looked at the other roller coaster door and saw some not-so-obvious gaps. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately... our initial assessment was correct."

As he spoke, he bent down and began searching through the corpse.

They collected all the personal information and electronic devices from the body of the fourth exploration team member.

At the same time, Zhong Huahua also spoke up, "I haven't found any other survivors..."

"The body wasn't found either..."

"I...I'll look around."

She closed her eyes and activated her mental power again.

Fang Yi stood up and said, "The fourth group also has six people. They were not attacked and have not suffered any casualties."

"There is only one person here; the others should be on their way to evacuate."

"But where have they gone now?"

Jiang Chuan said, "I've been thinking about this too."

"Judging from the condition of the body, he was killed suddenly."

"Moreover, the other five have vanished without a trace. I suspect they encountered some insurmountable opponent..."

Fang Yi said in surprise, "Is it the owner of the tomb?"

"He came in person?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "I don't know."

"There might be other unforeseen circumstances."

He paused, then asked Fang Yi, "What is this person's rank?"

Fang Yi gave an "oh" and told Jiang Chuan about the information about the corpse before its death:
"Gao Yue, Field Team 5, Level B, Body System Awakener."

Jiang Chuan nodded, frowning, and continued:
"The wounds on the body were clearly fatal."

"He didn't have time to dodge the attack at all."

"If he were an awakened being of the body system, how could he possibly fail to dodge such a fatal attack?"

What exactly happened to them?

Fang Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"You mean, they were already affected before the attack even began?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Very likely."

"Based on the previous analysis, the tomb owner had limited means of attacking from a distance, and the attack methods were relatively indirect."

"If that's the case, then he must have been under some kind of restriction before another enemy delivered the fatal blow."

After a long silence, Shi Changzai joined their discussion:
"What's wrong with this car?"

"Is it also because of the impact on his mental state?"

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Perhaps?"

"If not, there is really no other possibility."

"No matter how panicked and reckless they are, the field team's professionalism would prevent them from running into such an obvious rock."

"What do you think? Have you ever heard of similar methods?"

Fang Yi shook his head.

At that moment, all three of them turned their gaze to Zhong Huahua.

Zhong Huahua was startled by the sudden attention, then said, "I didn't see anyone, but I did find a few footprints..."

"over there!"

She was pointing in the direction of Qingshan, roughly to the north.

Fang Yi frowned: "No matter what, they shouldn't have run towards Qingshan..."

Jiang Chuan asked, "What should we do, Captain? Should we continue tracking them?"

Fang Yi gripped his gleaming silver spear, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Of course, the mission must continue."

"But now we need to know what we need to pay attention to."

"The other members of the fourth group have escaped our detection range and are heading towards more dangerous areas."

Shi Changzai spoke up, "Perhaps they felt it was safe over there, so they ran there?"

"After all, they were not attacked along the way, so they had no way of knowing whether the tomb owner's attacks had weakened."

Fang Yi shook his head and pointed to the footprints on the ground, saying, "I think they're lost."

“Judging from the footsteps on this clearing, they were originally heading towards the camp.”

"But the footsteps Zhong Huahua saw were to the north."

"It's impossible to tell which way to go in the woods..."

"Without realizing it, we ran deeper into the area."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "I agree with that possibility."

"And we also need to consider avoiding getting lost."

"At the very least, we should mark it properly."

Fang Yi brandished his gun and said, "Leave it to me. There are trees all around here. It will be much easier to mark the spots on the trees."

"And with the sun, we can at least tell which way is which. As long as we don't get separated and we stay together, nothing will happen."

Shi Changzai glanced at the woods to the north and then asked, "Are we still driving?"

Fang Yi shook his head: "No need to turn it on."

"It's inconvenient to find someone, and..."

He glanced at the corpse and said nothing more.

……

When Jiang Chuan and his group began their operation again...

Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang led the villagers, who were bound hand and foot, back to the command center one after the other.

As soon as he put the faceless man down, Cao Zhigang asked, "Where's Jiang Chuan?! Did he go in?!"

Chen Xingyang nodded at him and said, "Go in."

"Their mission is relatively safe."

"All we need to do is bring out the items from the fourth group."

Cao Zhigang wanted to say something, but ultimately kept quiet, pondered for a moment, and changed the subject.

He pointed to the Faceless One he had brought out from the mental field beside him and said, "What do we do with this guy!"

Cao Zhiqiang took a sip of water and leaned against the wall next to him, which made the entire command vehicle tremble.

Cao Zhiqiang's question made Chen Xingyang fall silent for a moment. According to Jiang Chuan, this villager may seem to be alive, but he is not actually him anymore.

After a pause, Chen Xingyang said, "Before we talk about this, Jiang Chuan's group brought back some new information."

Jiang Chuan said…

Chen Xingyang told the Cao brothers everything Jiang Chuan had just deduced.

Upon hearing Chen Xingyang's words, Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang were both somewhat surprised. They were shocked and pondered at the same time before nodding.

Cao Zhigang said, "Jiang Chuan is right!"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded in agreement: "Young people's ideas come quickly."

"However... judging from Jiang Chuan's findings, does that mean everyone in this village is beyond saving?"

Xu Chenggong interrupted him, saying, "That's hard to say."

"If we solve the problem of the tomb owner and the root of the mental field, perhaps their personalities can be restored to a normal state."

"The only question is when we will resolve the issue of the Tang Dynasty tombs."

Cao Zhigang then spoke up, "Since Jiang Chuan and the others are still on a mission, then my brother and I will go in again!"

"This time, let's not use the car. The two of us will travel in a straight line through the mountains; that way, we'll be faster!"

"Based on the three points Jiang Chuan mentioned, it's just right for the two of us to go in!"

Xu Chenggong frowned: "Jiang Chuan and the others have lost communication."

"We are unable to confirm their coordinates at the moment."

He looked at the old man Cui Chang sitting to the side and asked, "A reconnaissance plane?"

Cui Chang began, "Fifteen minutes."

"In addition to the reconnaissance aircraft, the satellite data is also ready soon."

"The photos need to be processed; the technicians are looking for the location of the reserve team."

"It will take about fifteen minutes." Upon hearing this, Cao Zhigang temporarily suppressed his anxious feelings.

"Then my brother and I will set off in fifteen minutes!"

His voice echoed so loudly that the command vehicle hummed.

However, both Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang had very serious expressions on their faces.

After the reserve team lost contact, they had to consider the possibility that Jiang Chuan and the others had already sacrificed themselves.

But no matter what, he wanted to go in and take a look.

Even if all that's found is a body... it's still a duty that a teacher should fulfill.

……

The four of them resumed their actions, heading towards the footprints that Zhong Huahua had detected with her spiritual power, and quickly found the location of the footprints.

When you see the footprints, you can clearly see the panic of fleeing in all directions. Most of the footprints are only half-finished, and some are on the tree trunk, where the bark has been torn.

Along the way, they had actually seen quite a few similar footprints.

And they understood perfectly what these footprints represented.

The fourth group was running for their lives, frantically running for their lives.

Who is chasing them?

Jiang Chuan carefully examined the footprints with his mental power, then frowned even more deeply and asked Fang Yi, "Is the fourth group also composed of six people?"

Fang Yi nodded.

Jiang Chuan continued, "But there are only five footprints."

Shi Changzai said, "Isn't five normal?"

Fang Yi frowned: "But what if we follow their footprints?"

Shi Chang was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Yes..."

Who is chasing them?

"ghost?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "Based on our previous guesses, since the greater the distance, the lower the lethality of the tomb owner..."

"Then we can at least conclude that the tomb owner was unable to leave the cemetery."

Zhong Huahua asked in confusion, "Then who could it be?"

"People can't live without leaving footprints, can they?"

Fang Yi said, "There are two possibilities."

"Either they are physical powerhouses whose control over force is so strong that they leave no trace..."

"Either they are mental powerhouses who have reached the pinnacle of mind control and can fly through the air..."

Jiang Chuan nodded and then shook his head:
"But no matter which one it is, if such a being was chasing them, we wouldn't still not have found the bodies by now."

Zhong Huahua then raised her arm, pointed into the distance, and said, "We found the footprints... over there."

The direction she was pointing was still towards the green mountains.

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth.

Shi Changzai asked, "Should we... continue to explore further?"

"It's not too late to evacuate now."

Jiang Chuan also hesitated.

Continuing to delve deeper is fine for now, but the bait trap smell is too strong.

Retreat now seems like a better option.

At this moment, Fang Yi said, "If we go any deeper, not only will we be unable to bring the items back, but we'll also get ourselves killed."

"Or let's vote by raising hands."

"I agree with returning."

Fang Yi's statement makes sense.

Shi Changzai shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but there's no need to throw my life away, is there?"

"I also agree with returning."

Jiang Chuan had just sighed and was about to leave when he noticed that Zhong Huahua's expression had changed.

Seeing the change in Zhong Huahua's expression, Jiang Chuan asked, "What did you find out?"

Zhong Huahua shook her head and didn't say anything.

Jiang Chuan knew very well that Zhong Huahua was lying, and he said helplessly, "Then you guys go back first."

"I'll take another look inside by myself."

Fang Yi was stunned, and Shi Changzai also stared wide-eyed, completely baffled by Jiang Chuan's statement.

But Zhong Huahua understood Jiang Chuan's meaning perfectly. She lowered her head and said with a hint of helplessness:

"I've discovered another team member..."

"The next footprint is three or four hundred meters away from us, and it's about six or seven hundred meters away."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

Fang Yi's gaze shifted slightly as he said, "It seems we should go and find out what's going on."

"But Jiang Chuan, let's make this clear in advance."

"If there is any problem, we will immediately turn back the way we came."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Of course."

Shi Changzai sighed helplessly and prepared to start afresh.

But the four of them stopped as soon as they took a step forward.

Zhong Huahua bumped into Jiang Chuan's back, but before she could ask anything, she sensed an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

She looked up and saw a figure.

The man was standing on a thick tree branch, looking down at the four of them.

He was wearing a field team uniform.

Fang Yi's eyes widened, and he uttered in utter astonishment, "Boss!?"

The man nodded, and his immense spiritual power instantly unfolded, shimmering with a dazzling luster under the sunlight as if it were almost tangible.

Jiang Chuan felt a chill run through his body, and his expression changed repeatedly.

The person who made Fang Yi use that title is the head of Fang Yi's field team!?
He's just as strong as Li Yu!?

Is this person friend or foe?
He's the one who intercepted the fourth group!?

But how could he see their faces so clearly?!
At this moment, the radiant light began to rapidly recede, condensing into a multicolored ring around his own neck.

"Boss!?"

"How did you..."

The man interrupted Fang Yi:

"Fang Yi, take your men back now."

"I can't hold on for long."

"Remember this..."

He only had time to utter those few simple words...

At this moment, his calm and handsome face began to ripple rapidly, and his features were quickly contorting.

But he is transforming into a faceless man!

But this did not deter his will to convey the message.

He spoke the following words with unwavering resolve and profound anguish:
"The true identity of the tomb's occupant..."

"Yes……"

"Yes……"

“Princess Anle…”

The moment the voice fell, his face immediately transformed into the same expression Jiang Chuan had seen on Su Qiwei's face.

An extremely powerful killing intent swept towards them!

Both Jiang Chuan and Fang Yi felt their bodies stiffen at this moment. Under such extreme mental pressure, they couldn't even resist!

But at that moment, the colorful ring that had been hovering around his neck suddenly burst forth with incredibly bright colors!

It was like a sun bursting into the jungle!

The halo unleashed an extremely powerful force; even from tens of meters away, one could feel its destructive power!

Jiang Chuan was forced to close his eyes by the dazzling and blinding light.

When he opened his eyes again, all the light had dissipated.

Instead, a headless body stood on the tree branch.

The woods returned to tranquility, and a gentle breeze swept through the mountains.

The headless body swayed on the tree for a moment, then fell to the ground with a thud.
