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

Chapter 70, Part 9: The Li People

Chapter 70 Jiuli Tribe

"What's going on?"

He stopped, holding his phone, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Is the case still not closed?

But the culprit, Qin Dahai, died right in front of him!
Does that mean I'll encounter other dangers?

What kind of danger could it be?
White lotus?

Is the White Lotus incident still not over?
According to Qin Dahai, Jiang Chuan knew that the Bai Lian case was far from over; it was just the beginning.

His past life memories as the White Lotus Left Protector were merely the outermost corners of the White Lotus, not even the core.

"But the problem is, I probably won't have any further dealings with Bai Lian..."

"But the divination hasn't changed yet? Damn it."

"Is there still any problem with this case?"

"Did I miss it? Or has the next problem simply not yet arisen?"

He wanted to call Shen Jing right now to ask if the divination was reliable or not, but it was obvious that Shen Jing's mother would answer the phone.

For a moment, Jiang Chuan's mind was in complete chaos.

Tang Songming saw Jiang Chuan stop and asked him curiously, "Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Chuan quickly composed himself and said, "I'm fine."

He followed, and the four of them embarked on their journey to the cafeteria once again.

Liang Cheng said with a touch of emotion, "Jiang Chuan, you're already a member of the inspection team?"

"Do you have a designated supervisory team?"

Jiang Chuan had something on his mind, so when Liang Cheng brought it up, he just chuckled and didn't say anything more.

Lin Ci looked at Jiang Chuan with surprise, astonished that Jiang Chuan had already been given a government job.

Liang Cheng continued, "As expected of His Majesty..."

Tang Songming suddenly exclaimed, "Cough cough cough cough!!"

Liang Cheng was interrupted for a moment, but he continued calmly, "Compared to... those ranked higher than us."

Tang Songming: "Brother Jiang is truly amazing."

"I admire you."

Lin Ci nodded as well. He was quite impressed with everything he had heard from Jiang Chuan.

He habitually put himself in Jiang Chuan's shoes...

Once he put himself in that position, he felt he wouldn't be so perceptive as to notice that there was already a mole within the organization.

Jiang Chuan felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing such praise.

He wasn't a social terrorist like Tang Songming after all, so he quickly changed the subject: "Lin Ci, whose memories did you awaken?"

Lin Ci calmly said, "My past life memories... were of just an insignificant nobody."

Jiang Chuan and the other two did not believe this explanation at all.

You're unknown? What a joke! You have a physique stronger than monsters like Li Yi and Song Xi. Last night, you managed to break all four limbs of that member of the inspection team. And you say you're unknown?
But Lin Ci's words were not yet finished: "It is the Jiuli sacrifice."

Jiuli?

Jiang Chuan frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity, but for a moment he couldn't recall what Jiuli was.

Tang Songming and Liang Cheng, however, immediately widened their eyes.

Liang Cheng asked in surprise, "You call this unknown?"

Tang, Song, and Ming were even more direct: "Chi...Chi You tribe!?"

Jiang Chuan suddenly realized that the Jiuli tribe was the name of Chi You's tribe.

The priests under Chi You?

Jiang Chuan immediately asked, "What about their abilities!?"

"What are the abilities of this priest?"

Before Lin Ci could answer, Tang Songming spoke first: "Naturally, it's witchcraft!"

Jiang Chuan glanced at Tang Songming, then immediately looked at Lin Ci, wanting to confirm.

Lin Ci nodded: "It's witchcraft."

"It is our Chinese witchcraft."

"In the traditions of the Jiuli people, witchcraft is divided into many kinds."

He paused here, but seeing the curious looks on the other three faces, he continued:
"For example, witchcraft, geomancy, divination, bewitching witchcraft, power witchcraft... and so on."

“Every form of witchcraft, when perfected, possesses formidable power.”

Tang Songming asked, "What is the meaning of 'bewitching the witch'?"

Lin Ci paused for a moment, then said, "It means exactly what you think."

Tang Songming then asked, "Brother Lin, how did you know my thoughts?"

Lin Ci thought for a moment and then explained: "To curse others is to cursing oneself and to curry favor with others."

"Be careful when you encounter a succubus. Don't let her get any of your body parts, not even your fingernails."

He said sincerely, "That's terrifying."

Tang Songming gave a drawn-out "oh".

Liang Cheng glanced at him.

Jiang Chuan then asked, "Brother Lin, what kind of sorcerer are you?" Lin Ci calmly replied, "I am all of them."

Three people: "..."

What a Versailles!

All that buildup was just for those last three words?
Tang Songming's pupils contracted slightly at this moment. He was about to say something when he heard Lin Ci continue, "Except for the bewitching witch."

There was some disappointment in Tang Songming's eyes.

Liang Cheng was very interested in events from nearly five thousand years ago, and he asked, "What kind of shaman was Chi You?"

Lin Ci felt offended by this question, but he took a deep breath and controlled his emotions:

“That person is certainly proficient in all forms of witchcraft.”

"There are some forms of witchcraft that he disdains to use."

“He usually acts using witchcraft and sorcery.”

Powerful Witch...

It seems that Lin Ci is the same way. Although he can use various witchcrafts, he usually uses physical witchcraft to appear to others.

No wonder he is even stronger than Song Xi and Li Yi in terms of physical fitness.

Jiang Chuan, however, noticed something else...

He asked, "Is divination the same as fortune telling?"

Lin Ci nodded: "That's one way to understand it."

"However, the methods of collecting materials and observation are almost completely different."

Jiang Chuan then asked, "Is it accurate?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Ci took another deep breath.

Jiang Chuan said, "Ah, what I mean is..."

"Can you help me calculate this?"

Lin Ci nodded and said:
"That's acceptable."

"But I need a tortoise shell."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback: "Tortoise shell?"

Lin Ci nodded: "Divination involves observing cracks in tortoise shells during baking to obtain certain omens, and then interpreting these omens to predict good or bad fortune."

"The prerequisite is a tortoise shell."

"The demand is huge."

A giant tortoise shell?
I only know how to use the tortoise shell binding technique.

Although he did not give up on the idea, he knew that it was not possible to verify it in this way in the short term.

Lin Ci continued, "But I also know physiognomy."

Jiang Chuan: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Lin Ci frowned: "You didn't ask either."

Jiangchuan: "..."

"What does physiognomy say?"

Lin Ci: "He will surely achieve great things."

Jiang Chuan was helpless; he hadn't expected to hear those four words.

He asked, "Can't you predict good or bad fortune?"

Lin Ci: "The art of physiognomy can only go so far."

He paused for a moment, then added, "It's worth mentioning that your face is somewhat unlucky for those close to you, but everyone else's faces are quite good, so you won't be unlucky for us."

Jiang Chuan: "That's a real honor."

Lin Ci slightly raised his hand: "No need."

At this moment, Tang Songming interjected, "Brother Jiang has no intention of praising."

Lin Ci paused for a moment, then nodded and said solemnly, "I misspoke."

At that moment, Liang Cheng's voice suddenly came.

"I'm sorry!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Liang Cheng, but before they could even see Liang Cheng, they had already spotted the cafeteria.

They discovered that all the food in the cafeteria had vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, even the composed Lin Ci couldn't help but blurt out:
"hateful!"

"I'm late!"

Jiang Chuan said, "I told you I wouldn't eat breakfast anymore."

Liang Cheng immediately added, "Your Majesty... even if you are stronger than us, you should still prioritize your health."
