Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were a little confused, but they still bent down to take a look. There was a slight dent on the leather seat.

"Isn't it normal to have traces of someone sitting on it?" Lu Mingfei asked, "This is a leather chair, not iron. How can it not leave traces when someone weighs on it?"

However, Nuonuo did not answer him, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "This conference room is newly built, right?"

"This building is newly built and has probably only been used for a few days." Chu Zihang nodded.

"How many people were there in total among those masked guys we met last night?" Nuo Nuo looked at Lu Mingfei again.

"Twelve." Lu Mingfei answered without hesitation.

"Twelve, right?" Nuonuo looked around and asked a question that stunned everyone, "Then why are there only ten chairs in this room that show signs of being used?"

The entire conference room was silent. Lu Mingfei's eyes gradually widened, while Chu Zihang leaned against the conference table to carefully observe the chairs.

"One use will only leave limited traces, but like Lu Mingfei said, it's impossible for a leather chair to not deform at all. People have weight, not to mention the friction of clothes and fingerprints. There will always be subtle differences between used items and brand new items, and you can tell if you look carefully." Nono said, "But in this conference room, I can see only ten chairs with traces of people sitting on them, the others are almost brand new."

There are ten seats. Excluding those used by the principal and others, those used during yesterday's meeting, and those used by Lu Mingfei and others now, the number does not match up anyway.

Lu Mingfei clearly remembered that when he entered the room last night and saw those masked guys for the first time, all of them were sitting on chairs.

"Indeed, only the ten chairs in the middle have been sat on. The ones at the edge are all new." After taking a look around, Chu Zihang confirmed Nuo Nuo's discovery.

Chapter 958 The Forgotten Person

"But...but..." Lu Mingfei's brows gradually furrowed. Finally, he looked at Nuonuo and asked, "Does this discovery mean that we really encountered a ghost? Or are we all trapped in an illusion created by Odin?"

If it was really an illusion created by Odin, then everything would make sense. It was possible that the strange house did not exist at all, and everything was just a "dream" made by Odin. The books and newspapers they saw, the fire, and the "god-like" shadow that Chu Zihang saw in the mirror...that's why they can't find anything now, including those guys they saw last night, they were all "dummies" created by Odin.

It is also possible that they are still in Odin's illusion, and what they experienced yesterday was real, but now they have lost the ability to distinguish between illusion and reality. This city may be a good environment for Odin, so when Nono entered here, his thinking was also affected.

Wait, if this is true, the situation may be more terrible than I thought. Is the Nuonuo in front of me real? Is it a "fictitious" one created by Odin according to his own ideas? Is Chu Zihang real? Is Eri real? Am I really in the foundation building of Shilan Middle School? What happened to me yesterday, eating at my uncle and aunt's house, giving a speech at school, and attending Su Xiaoqiang's banquet in the evening... What is real? What is fake?

Lu Mingfei fell into a whirlpool of confusion. Such a guess was too scary, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

"Lu Mingfei... Lu Mingfei!" Nuo Nuo's stern roar woke Lu Mingfei up, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Odin's ability may not be an illusion. If it were, it wouldn't let you realize it. Don't doubt yourself!"

Yes, if Odin has such a supernatural power, he can kill people without anyone noticing. But if he loses his composure before the other party does anything, this is a taboo on the battlefield... Lu Mingfei took a few seconds to calm himself down.

“Thank you.” Lu Mingfei gave Nuonuo a grateful look. “It’s a good thing you came, otherwise I would have gone further and further down the wrong path.”

"Because your mind is sometimes too active, you think about things quickly, but your ideas are not comprehensive enough, so you easily fall into blind spots." Nono reminded, "This is a fatal flaw in the profile, you have to change it."

"There's more than one thing wrong." Chu Zihang suddenly came over and pointed to a wall behind him. He said to Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo, "Yesterday I remember seeing a photo and name of an honorary foundation member, but it didn't appear on the wall today."

Lu Mingfei's eyes swept across the wall behind Chu Zihang, where photos and profiles of the members of the Shilan Middle School Honor Fund were posted. Lu Mingfei was the first one... But to be honest, Lu Mingfei did not look carefully at the information on the wall yesterday, because he was the first one to be posted, and he always felt ashamed when he saw it.

"In other words, the members of the foundation you met for the first time and the ones you met for the second time were not the same people?" Nono asked.

"There's no way to be sure. They looked normal when we saw them during the day, and we didn't have much communication. At night, they were wearing masks." Chu Zihang shook his head and said, "If we want to find out, we can only ask the principal or school leaders to confirm."

"This clue is unlikely to work. If I were Odin, I wouldn't reveal my identity in such an obvious place." Nono shook his head. "Let's talk about it later. This matter is not urgent."

"In that case, Senior Sister, have you found anything suspicious?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I can't really say I have any doubts, but I have a vague guess." Nuo Nuo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "But my guess is too bold, and there's no theoretical evidence to support it. It's not a good idea to say it out now."

"With something like 'God' already on the scene, what else is considered bold? Now that you've thought of it, just talk about it." Lu Mingfei said, "Anyway, we don't have any direction right now. Instead of being like a few headless flies, why not share your ideas and let everyone brainstorm and analyze them."

"You said that yesterday in this conference room, there was a secret passage leading to a room, and you saw a lot of books, all about Norse mythology, and some strange things that happened in this city in recent years, but you had forgotten those things." Nuonuo looked at Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, "You encountered Odin in that room, and then you were injured, right?"

"Yes, at first I was confused as to why there was no electric light in that room, but a kerosene lamp instead. This is not like my friend's style." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "Looking back now, all of this is an obvious trap. As soon as I entered the room, my senior brother reminded me that the room was full of flammable paper. In a confined space, fire is very deadly."

"If you ask me, Odin probably didn't expect to kill you this way." Nono shook his head. "Otherwise, with his ability, he could have blocked the exit or used more ruthless means. If the 'God' still wants to use such a childish trick to kill a few mortals, then I think this guy is really too cheap."

"So what does he mean?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.

"A show of force? Or a warning? I'm too lazy to think about this now. This is not the point right now." Nuo Nuo said expressionlessly. She looked into Chu Zihang's eyes. "Are you sure that the person you saw yesterday was really Odin himself? Is there any difference between what you saw yesterday and what you saw seven years ago?"

"No." Chu Zihang shook his head, his tone very sure, "That's Odin. Of course, I've only seen him once, but I won't remember it wrong."

Of course he couldn't have remembered it wrong. For the past seven years, Chu Zihang would recall this majestic shadow before going to sleep. How could he forget it? Although he had only caught a quick glimpse of it in reality, it had appeared in Chu Zihang's dreams thousands of times.

"Eri, did you also feel tremendous pressure when Chu Zihang met Odin?" Nono looked at Eri again.

"It's a very dangerous thing." Eri nodded.

Nuonuo didn't ask Lu Mingfei any questions. She just said to Lu Mingfei: "I can't find any loopholes in your narration. It's not that there is something wrong with your memory. Odin's ability should not be to control people's thoughts."

"But the room is indeed gone. The traces of the chair you mentioned don't match the number of those guys last night. And the names of the foundation members that Senior Brother found are gone." Lu Mingfei frowned, "How do you explain this?"

Nuonuo did not answer Lu Mingfei immediately, but slowly closed her eyes. A huge storm was going on in her mind.

The loopholes are obvious, but there are many of them. What we need to do now is not to find the errors, but to integrate these errors and infer the enemy's capabilities. This is an extremely difficult task... The enemy is a "god", so his abilities are likely to be far beyond ordinary people's imagination. We cannot restrict our own thinking, and those low-level word spirits that already exist in the word spirit sequence list can be temporarily excluded.

Every year, someone disappears, but people don't remember them. Why do Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang remember Chu Zihang's missing father? And Ye Sheng... Ye Sheng, thinking of this name, Nuo Nuo's brows unconsciously frowned. When Lu Mingfei mentioned it just now, Nuo Nuo felt a sense of disobedience. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen him for too long. Nuo Nuo even forgot what that senior brother looked like. The only thing he could remember was through the contact with Senior Sister Yaji, and vaguely remembered that they were a couple.

I wasn't actually familiar with that senior brother originally, so we didn't have much in common?

She didn't ask Lu Mingfei, but Nuonuo kept a watchful eye. She continued to think about the "replaced" members of the Shilan Middle School Foundation and the mysteriously disappeared house. If all this was done by Odin, what method would he use...

No, this is a misconception. To know Odin's abilities, one cannot guess the causes based on the results. In other words, one cannot consider what abilities can do these things. Instead, one must put oneself in the other person's perspective and imagine that one has a certain ability... Then what ability does one have to make it easier to create these "mistakes"?

Nono imagined himself to be a tall and majestic god, standing high in the sky, turning his hand to make clouds and rain, overlooking a city, controlling the elements at will, strong winds, heavy rains, thunder and lightning, and tens of millions of lives were played with in his hands...

If such a person possesses a word spirit, it must be a huge, intangible thing that can even influence the entire world... Only a guy with such ability is qualified to be called a "God".

"It's really... scary." Nuonuo let out a breath. Her face was slightly pale and her forehead was wet with fine sweat. She looked like she had just finished an intense aerobic exercise.

"Senior Sister... have you thought about it?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously. Judging from Nuo Nuo's appearance, he had already finished the profiling and probably got a result.

A result that even she had to describe as "terrible".

"What if Odin's ability is to modify reality?" Nono asked in a very soft voice.

The entire conference room was silent. Lu Mingfei was stunned, Chu Zihang lowered his head, and Hui Liyi didn't say anything either. Everyone seemed to be digesting what Nuo Nuo had just said... to be precise, those four words.

These four simple words plunged the entire conference room into a long silence.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the sound of raindrops hitting the glass curtain wall was crackling and annoying.

“These two words are very common, but why do they feel so weird when put together?” After a long silence, Lu Mingfei finally spoke.

"It feels like some kind of gaming term." Chu Zihang said.

"Yes, cheat codes! It feels like I've turned on a cheater!" Senior game master Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "How can I play with cheats? Isn't this cheating?"

"It is indeed a terrifying ability, but don't despair. If it really modifies reality, there must be some limitations." Nono whispered, "And all of this is just my speculation, but I think this is the most likely possibility. In short, any ability has its shortcomings and ways to crack it, otherwise Odin would have become the king of this world long ago."

Lu Mingfei still had lingering fears. After all, the ability to modify reality sounded too scary. But when he thought about it carefully, what Nuo Nuo said made sense. This ability to break the rules sounded like it was in line with the positioning of a "God". Moreover, based on the current situation, this ability was actually quite reasonable.

"I have a question." Nuonuo suddenly looked at Chu Zihang, "Do you still remember Brother Ye Sheng?"

"Brother Ye Sheng, of course I remember." Chu Zihang nodded, "Didn't Lu Mingfei say that Brother Ye Sheng was going to marry Sister Yaji?"

"Then do you remember what Senior Brother Ye Sheng looks like?" Nuonuo asked again, staring at Chu Zihang's eyes when asking this question.

Chu Zihang opened his mouth, but closed it again. He lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

"What are you talking about, Senior Sister? Senior Brother Ye Sheng is such a unique person, how could I forget him after meeting him?" Lu Mingfei interrupted, "I remember that Finger also said that he wanted to have a dark skin like Senior Brother Ye Sheng."

"I'm sorry..." Chu Zihang suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and was suddenly stunned. Chu Zihang's "I'm sorry" was obviously directed at him. Looking at Chu Zihang's expression, Lu Mingfei had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Except for the fact that I'm going to marry Senior Sister Aki, I don't seem to have any impression of Senior Brother Ye Sheng." Chu Zihang shook his head, "I don't even have a corresponding image in my mind. I shouldn't have been very familiar with this senior brother, right?"

"Brother, are you kidding? This joke is not funny at all. That's Brother Ye Sheng. The sisters all call him the dark-skinned handsome guy..." Lu Mingfei's voice gradually became smaller, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Because Chu Zihang's expression was very serious from beginning to end, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

"Senior Sister, why do you ask me this question?" Lu Mingfei suddenly turned his head and looked at Nuo Nuo.

"Because when you first mentioned Brother Ye Sheng, I felt a sense of disharmony in my brain. Your tone made it seem as if I was very familiar with Brother Ye Sheng." Nuo Nuo also shook her head, "But to be honest, I really don't have much impression. I just vaguely remember that there was such a person, and my image of him all came from your description. Maybe this is the source of this disharmony, but I am very familiar with Sister Yaji."

"Senior sister, are you serious?" Lu Mingfei stared into Nuonuo's eyes. "You and Brother Ye Sheng's mentors are both Professor Mans. He is your fellow brother. When you came to China to pick me up, you came together."

"Professor Mans only has two students, me and Aki Jude." Nono answered Lu Mingfei very seriously, "When I first came to China, I came with Senior Sister Aki, and Professor Guderian also came with us. It's only been two years since this happened. If I can even remember this wrong, I must have Alzheimer's disease."

“Damn it, are you guys really kidding me?” Lu Mingfei slammed his fist on the table.

Chapter 959: Changed World Line

"Don't worry, Lu Mingfei." Nuo Nuo said soothingly, "Don't we all admit that there is a person called Brother Ye Sheng? Maybe you remembered it wrongly, or maybe we really don't know him well, or we forgot. There must be someone who knows him in the entire Kassel Academy, right? For example, ask Professor Guderian or Professor Mans? For example, ask Senior Sister Yaji?"

"Sister, I want to know." Lu Mingfei asked Nuonuo unwillingly, "Before I told you about this, have you never heard the name 'Ye Sheng' from Sister Yaji?"

"To be honest, I really have no impression." Nuonuo shook his head and sighed, "Senior Sister Yaji and I are quite familiar with each other. If you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't even know that she had a boyfriend."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Chu Zihang again.

"Brother, we had underwater joint combat training before we went to the Three Gorges." Lu Mingfei tried to remind him, "The people who trained us at that time were Brother Ye Sheng and Sister Yaji. They were known as the double ace team of the executive department. How could you not be familiar with Brother Ye Sheng? You don't even have an impression of what he looks like?"

"No, I remember that the one who trained us at that time was not Jiude Aki or Ye Sheng." Chu Zihang shook his head and reported the other two names.

Lu Mingfei had also heard of those two names. They were also a well-known duo in the executive department. However, Lu Mingfei did not have much contact with them, and it was impossible for him to practice underwater combat with them... If he and Chu Zihang had not replaced Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, in the story in the dream, those two would have died in the Bronze City under the Three Gorges. Lu Mingfei remembered it very clearly.

But now my senior brother said that he was not replacing Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, but two people whose names I had heard of but was not familiar with... Then what was the meaning of all this I did? Why should I risk my life for two people I didn't know very well?

"Where is the story about Brother Ye Sheng's childhood that I told you?" Lu Mingfei stared into Chu Zihang's eyes and asked, "I just told you that a few days ago."

"I really don't remember this happening." Chu Zihang shook his head solemnly.

"Stop joking... Stop joking..." Lu Mingfei murmured stubbornly, his mind frantically thinking about the facts that prove Ye Sheng's existence.

Should we find someone to corroborate the facts? Just like what Nono said, we should ask Professor Guderian or Professor Mans? At the very least, Jiude Aki couldn't have forgotten Senior Brother Ye Sheng, right? Or we could ask Norma directly. Norma must have Ye Sheng's information in her database. Human consciousness is subjective, but data is objective. When a person exists in this world, he will leave many traces.

But now this city has no communication with the outside world, and Lu Mingfei has no way to contact people in the school.

What about the photo album? Can I find a photo with Master Ye Sheng in it?

Lu Mingfei recalled and it seemed that there was not a single one. Whether it was the student union celebration or the Lionheart Club gathering, Senior Brother Ye Sheng seemed to have never attended. He had a very low-key personality. To put it more directly, compared to the Caesar, Chu Zihang and even Finkel that he was familiar with, Ye Sheng had a very weak sense of presence.

“Got it!” Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that the functions of a mobile phone are not limited to communication and making calls, it can also store data.

I have Brother Ye Sheng’s contact information, as well as the emails and chat records he has sent. Fortunately, I don’t have the habit of deleting emails!

Lu Mingfei couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and quickly flipped through the email records in his mailbox.

After a while, the mailbox was turned to the bottom. Lu Mingfei's brows gradually frowned and he started to look up again.

After flipping through the pages several times, Lu Mingfei's brows were twisted into a knot. He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and opened the contacts in the address book with slightly trembling fingers.

No.

There is no such name as "Ye Sheng". Everyone's name is here, except for the person named "Ye Sheng".

Lu Mingfei's expression was terribly gloomy, veins popped out of his arms, and his cell phone creaked in his hand. Anyone could tell that Lu Mingfei was not in a good mood.

Chu Zihang and Nuonuo looked at each other. Nuonuo nodded and stepped forward to comfort her, but Lu Mingfei raised his head first.

"Brother, sister, can you lend me your cell phones?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.

"I can't borrow mine." Nono shook his head. "I told you before, when I was at the Golden Iris Academy, all my communication tools were taken away. I didn't take them with me when Finkel kidnapped me."

"It's my turn." Chu Zihang took out his mobile phone readily, unlocked it and placed it in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei didn't waste any time. He picked up Chu Zihang's phone and opened the address book. He searched from top to bottom and entered the word "Ye Sheng" in the search bar... As expected, he got the result "No contact found".

Then he typed "Jiude Aki" and Jiude Aki's mobile phone number popped up in the directory.

After Lu Mingfei turned off the screen, he gently placed Chu Zihang's phone on the table... This result speaks for itself.

Chu Zihang is a man with a good sense of propriety. He added Jiude Yaji, so it is impossible that he did not add Ye Sheng...

If Ye Sheng really exists.

“Odin...Hahahahahaha, Odin!” Lu Mingfei suddenly burst into crazy laughter that echoed in the empty conference room, like a mental patient who suddenly had an attack, making people feel creepy.

Chu Zihang and Nuonuo exchanged glances in silence, while Huili looked at Lu Mingfei with a worried look on her face.

“Odin… you’re so fucking awesome!” After Lu Mingfei made his final harsh complaint, he leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, as if his soul had been sucked out.

"Do you think that the reason why Chu Zihang and I don't remember Senior Brother Ye Sheng is Odin's fault?" Nuo Nuo asked Lu Mingfei tentatively.

“Isn’t this nonsense? Brother Ye Sheng mistakenly entered the Nibelungen and then disappeared. The memories of those who knew him will gradually fade, and the traces of his existence in this world will be erased bit by bit.” Lu Mingfei collapsed in the chair and rolled his eyes. “Just like what you said, Senior Sister, Odin’s ability is to change reality. Now I believe it. This ability is really a bug. A living person can disappear just like that!”

"But if the existence of Ye Sheng was erased by Odin, why do you remember it?" Nono asked.

"I don't know. How should I know? I'm just a little bit special." Lu Mingfei said weakly, "To be honest, I'm not a very special person like Brother Ye Sheng. The people who left the deepest impression on him must be Sister Yaji, or his mother and sister. Maybe Odin ignored me when he modified reality? It's impossible that I got mentally ill and created such a person out of thin air, right?"

After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, no one spoke in the entire conference room for a long time. Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at Nuo Nuo, then at Chu Zihang.

“Damn it, you guys don’t really think I’m crazy, do you?” Lu Mingfei questioned, “Did I make up everything I just said?”
