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

Chapter 152 You... or Princess Anle?
The bright moon hangs high.

Li Yu was about to embark on his journey to Kunlun, while Jiang Chuan stood at the entrance of the organization to say goodbye to him.

Others were also supposed to come and deliver the gifts, but Li Yu declined.

Although the Qingshan Tomb incident has been resolved, the organization has been almost completely shut down during this period, with too many documents and incidents piling up to deal with.

Jiang Chuan, however, had nothing else to do, so he came to see Li Yu off.

Before getting into the car, Li Yu looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "I don't know when we'll meet again."

"I hope that next time I come, it won't be to attend your funeral."

Jiang Chuan gave an awkward laugh.

Li Yu continued:

"The matter has been mostly resolved. I've also examined Zhong Huahua's mental state, and there are no further hidden dangers."

"Now that Anle is dead, she won't have any other problems."

"However, his mental state may not be very stable, and he needs some time to recover."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan sensed something was amiss: "How exactly is it unstable?"

Li Yu pondered for a moment, then said:

"It is the first time in the world that an awakened person's body has been controlled by a spiritual entity with awakened memories."

"If there are any problems, please tell Cao Zhigang and the others as soon as possible."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Okay."

Shortly after Li Yu disposed of Princess Anle's remaining spiritual body, Zhong Huahua woke up and returned to her dormitory to rest.

She was in a daze and had no idea what had happened.

Li Yu opened the car door and prepared to get in.

Jiang Chuan quickly stopped him:
"I have something else to ask!"

Li Yu stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan immediately spoke up as well:
"You want to ask me about my destiny..."

"Brother Li, you've seen that case about the loss of cause and effect."

“The main culprit, Xu Linlin, once said that my fate was strange.”

“This time, Li Guo’er also mentioned that one of the reasons she wanted to possess my body was related to my destiny.”

What exactly is the meaning of my destiny?

Li Yu said, "I said before that your karma might be rejected by the Heavenly Dao."

"Theoretically speaking, everyone's fate is predetermined."

"The divination can reveal the future and predict good or bad fortune; in essence, it is a calculation of this so-called Heavenly Way."

"Since your karma is rejected by the Heavenly Dao, we can probably guess what your destiny is like."

Jiang Chuan said in surprise, "Break the cause and effect, and destroy destiny?"

Li Yu nodded: "It seems you've guessed something as well."

"Probably so."

"Moreover, there is no precedent for such a thing."

"No matter what your destiny is, don't do anything reckless."

Jiang Chuan hummed in agreement and nodded.

Upon receiving confirmation from Li Yu, Jiang Chuan's expression became even more serious.

Jiang Chuan then extended the question further: "If my fate is truly like this... then is it also related to my dream world?"

Li Yu said calmly, "All the strange things about you have one root cause."

"Whether it's your exaggerated training speed, your strange fate, or even your inherent bad luck, it all probably stems from this."

"Once we understand what the dream world is all about, these problems can be easily solved."

Jiang Chuan nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

But Li Yu's words hadn't stopped:

“The symptoms you are experiencing are unprecedented. Even if I were willing to help, I wouldn’t be able to find the cause.”

"Whether you can see the sun after the clouds have parted depends on yourself."

Whether one can grow or not ultimately depends on others' help.

Jiang Chuan indicated that he understood.

Li Yu asked, "Are you alright now?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "It's alright, Brother Li. Bye-bye, Brother Li."

Just as Li Yu was about to get into the car, Jiang Chuan suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right!"

Li Yu took a deep breath and turned around: "What is it now?"

Jiang Chuan asked, "Brother Li, what's your ranking?"

Li Yu: "A2".

After saying that, he didn't interrupt Jiang Chuan as he got into the car. He got in and closed the door in one smooth motion, and the agency's black car sped away in a cloud of dust.

Jiang Chuan was left standing alone in front of the institution's main entrance, looking bewildered.

Jiang Chuan was particularly surprised by the "Grade A2" rating that Li Yu left behind before he left.

Jiang Chuan originally thought Li Yu would be in the third tier of the class, since Teacher Cao and the others in the fourth tier were already incredibly strong.

But I never expected it to be a Class A2 ranking!?

How powerful is he when he actually makes a move?

There are only four in the top tier, so wouldn't Brother Li be the second strongest among them?

What is the strength of the top ten in the country?
So exaggerated?

I don't know how many people are in the second-class category, but they must be at least in the top 100, right?

……

Jiang Chuan walked towards his dormitory while pondering the matter.

After temporarily setting aside his thoughts on Li Yu's true strength, he still had many things to consider.

I received a lot of information from Li Yu today. In addition to what he reminded me about my parents, there was also information about the two factions within the organization. I was able to glean some clues from just a few words.

"According to Brother Li, a real conflict will break out between these two camps sooner or later."

Jiang Chuan frowned, sensing something was off.

"You can see that from that chessboard escort mission..."

"They've been vying for power behind the scenes."

"It's just that I haven't been exposed to it enough, so I don't know."

But how exactly were these two camps divided?

Are they different opinions on a specific event? Or is it that after awakening their memories, everyone is assigned to a fixed faction?

It's not showing up yet, but as more and more memories are awakened, we'll gradually learn about the faction thing.
"Brother Li said he would tell me these things when I needed to make a decision..."

"Do we still need to choose a faction? Which faction is Brother Li on?"

"Wouldn't it be fine if I joined his camp?"

Besides this matter, there are also things about myself.

Li Yu mentioned the term "gap in the spiritual sea" at that time.

There are gaps in the sea of ​​consciousness? This was something Jiang Chuan had never even considered.

Given Li Yu's expertise in mental strength, his description should not be wrong.

Moreover, when fighting Li Guo'er in the dream world, that dark world did indeed resemble some kind of intermediate space.

Jiang Chuan actually had some expectations in his heart.

I look forward to becoming stronger, strong enough to truly pry open that "gap".

He recalled the time he spent in his dream world.

Even when facing Li Guo'er at her peak, she could handle the situation with ease in the dream world.

That feeling of omnipotence was captivating. He looked at his hands and clenched them tightly.

"It would be great if this state could be used in the real world as well."

"That way you won't have to worry so much."

He walked towards his dormitory while thinking about it.

He had become increasingly familiar with this route over the past month, and he walked to the training building and went upstairs with ease.

Just as I turned the corner on the third floor, I saw a figure standing in front of room 4301.

She had long hair draped over her shoulders and wore a simple shirt.

She was looking out the window at the moonlight, the silvery moonlight enveloping her face. She wasn't wearing her black-rimmed glasses, and her gaze seemed preoccupied.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan seemed to see Li Guo'er again, drifting and humming in the mountains.

Jiang Chuan's heart tightened, and his right hand was already on the dagger at his waist: "Zhong Huahua?"

Zhong Huahua slowly turned her head and looked at Jiang Chuan.

A smile played at the corners of her lips: "Jiang Chuan..."

Are you surprised to see me?

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes, feeling his heart skip a beat!
He drew his dagger in a flash: "Li Guo'er?"

Didn't Li Yu say she was fine?

Is he having some mental issues? Is that even a problem?!
Upon seeing Jiang Chuan draw his dagger, Zhong Huahua took a step back, as if she had instantly switched personalities.

She nervously waved her hands repeatedly:

"I...I...I was faking it!"

"Jiang Chuan, don't... don't act rashly!"

She spoke nervously, but Jiang Chuan didn't put away the dagger at all. He frowned as he looked at Zhong Huahua, seemingly ready to cut her throat at any moment.

Seeing Jiang Chuan's expression, Zhong Huahua became even more anxious. She hurriedly said, "I was just kidding! I'm not Princess Anle! I'm really me!"

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "I was just kidding."

"Can I help you?"

Zhong Huahua breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "I...I want to talk to you."

In fact, Jiang Chuan wasn't teasing her. He had entered a state of flow and, within his premonition, he didn't detect any tendency for Zhong Huahua to take action against him.

Moreover, even when he said those words, he did not release the flow state.

After all, given Zhong Huahua's original personality, she wouldn't make such a joke.

Jiang Chuan toyed with the dagger and walked towards Zhong Huahua.

Jiang Chuan was puzzled.

What did Zhong Huahua want to say to herself?
At this moment, Zhong Huahua asked:
"Li Yi and the others will be back soon, right?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "I'll be back on the 26th."

Zhong Huahua thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, when Princess Anle was controlling me, I could see what was happening outside."

"I never expected this to happen, and I don't know how I was controlled..."

"I didn't help you at all, and I even held you back..."

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been in danger."

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Jiang Chuan didn't expect her to say this.

However, he did confirm one thing through this: the current Zhong Huahua is definitely not Princess Anle.

Jiang Chuan said, "It's okay, I know."

"This matter is beyond your control."

"You don't need to apologize to me."

"Who you remember from your past life is not something you can decide."

Zhong Huahua lowered her head and remained silent, offering no response.

Jiang Chuan continued toying with the dagger, tossing it up and letting the blade spin, then catching it precisely.

After a period of silence, Zhong Huahua raised her head and looked at Jiang Chuan seriously:
"Jiangchuan?"

"Ok?"

"...The moon is so beautiful tonight."

"Ah."

"...Do you prefer...a waxing crescent moon or a waning crescent moon?"

"Everything is fine."

"do you like me?"

"..."

Jiang Chuan froze for a moment.

The dagger spun in the moonlight and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Under the moonlight, Zhong Huahua's little face was already flushed.

Jiang Chuan felt utterly astonished, and for a moment, a booming sound seemed to resound in his mind.

The impact of Zhong Huahua's question was no less than when I heard her say, "I want you."

Zhong Huahua was clearly forcing herself to stay upright, tilting her head back to meet Jiang Chuan's gaze.

Her eyes gleamed, awaiting Jiang Chuan's reply.

Her face was not only flushed, but her ears and neck were also red.

But unlike before, this time Zhong Huahua's eyes did not dodge. She gritted her teeth and stared straight at Jiang Chuan, as if she was determined to hear an answer today.

Jiang Chuan seemed to understand what Li Yu meant by "unstable mental state".

But how should I answer?

The two remained locked in a stalemate... but in the end, it was Zhong Huahua who couldn't hold on any longer.

She finally averted her gaze, instantly lowered her head, and said in a very low voice:
"You...you...let's just pretend I didn't say anything!"

"..."

"I'm going back!"

She fled as fast as she could.

Jiang Chuan stood there dumbfounded, and after a moment he received a WeChat message from Zhong Huahua:
Can you pretend I didn't say that?

withdraw.

I was just asking; we can still be friends even if you disagree!

withdraw.

Jiang Chuan stared at his phone screen, his mind still a complete blank, unable to process what was happening.

Although I am indeed somewhat handsome, I don't usually show any signs of it.

Did Li Guo'er's desire for her own body subconsciously influence Zhong Huahua?

Just as Jiang Chuan was thinking this, he suddenly realized something.

Zhong Huahua said that even when she was being controlled, she could still see what was happening outside...

So, did she undergo such a dramatic change because I saved her back then?
Or is it a combination of both?
At that moment, Jiang Chuan's phone vibrated again.

It was Zhong Huahua, who had been silent for a long time, who sent another message.

Jiang Chuan looked at his phone screen and took a deep breath.

She sent only four words—

I like you.

Unlike the previous two times, this time, Zhong Huahua did not withdraw.
