Chapter 905: The Only Skeptic

Lu Siya’s voice came to an abrupt stop.

Her brain waves were extremely chaotic.

It showed that her body and mind were in an extremely hurt state.

Even after the combined treatment of a hypnotherapist, spirit tutor, and brain surgeon, it was not suitable for her to receive further hypnosis guidance for the time being.

However, the information she revealed was already rich and shocking enough.

Dragon City’s top spirit specialists, brain surgeons, ace investigators, military experts, mega corporation controllers, and the martial arts legends far away in the Supernatural Tower as well as Battle God Palace…

Regardless of their identity and position, everyone was moved.

Meng Chao was truly a tough man with iron bones.

He would rather jump into the Devil’s Eye and suffer the extreme pain of being crushed in the spirit energy tide.

He did not want to lower the noblest head of human beings in front of any enemy.

“Meng Chao…”

Deep inside Battle God Palace, Lei Zongchao remained silent for a long time before he sighed. “You deserve to be the son of Dragon City without a doubt. You are our greatest pride!”

With the clues provided by Lu Siya, the joint investigation team soon found the cliff that was as smooth as a mirror above the Devil’s Eye.

They also found the crevice that Meng Chao had jumped out of.

Following the crevice, they found more clues underground, which confirmed Lu Siya’s statements.

A fierce battle had indeed broken out near the underground river.

The opponent was a monster made of Blood Flower spore clusters and super algae, the Green Tide.

After Lu Siya’s brain condition and spirit index gradually returned to normal, the joint investigation team conducted twelve hypnotic induction and cross-examinations on her.

Every detail of her statements was carefully analyzed and compared with the traces found on the spot.

The result was flawless.

All the details were linked together.

Even many of the battles that Lu Siya could not remember clearly could be traced back to the evidence found on the spot. After careful restoration by various experts, they were perfectly pieced together to recreate the entire process of a typical fierce battle.

Apart from that, Lu Siya also drew a lot of images that appeared in her mind while she was in a hypnotic state.

This included Meng Chao’s golden outline, which had been created by the dawn, and his heroic image that stood above the Devil’s Eye.

The images that she drew were also 100% consistent with the battle that the experts had restored.

Of course, she also drew dozens of different images of the monsters.

Most of the time, she could only draw something that was twisting and wriggling, like a mess or a whirlpool.

That was normal.

A monster that even Meng Chao and Lu Siya could not suppress when they worked together naturally had extremely powerful mental attacks and brain wave interference, making it hard for people to see its true face.

If the description was too clear and precise, there would be problems.

Unfortunately, people could not find any trace of Meng Chao deep inside the Devil’s Eye.

It was the place where the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River converged. It had the most turbulent current, the most ferocious spirit energy, and the most unpredictable nature.

Although the rain had passed and the sky was clear in the entire Hidden Mist Domain, thunderous roars of furious dragons rolled all year round in that place.

Even the main streams of the two rivers would often change their routes, not to mention the complicated tributaries.

After such a long time had passed, it was possible that Meng Chao had been washed to the ends of the earth.

Half a month later, the investigation team had no choice but to suspend the search and rescue operation and announce results of the investigation.

What Meng Chao and Lu Siya had encountered on the summit of Mist Mountain should have been a fish that had escaped the monster civilization’s net.

It was possible that this monster had suffered heavy losses during the fierce battle when humans attacked the monsters’ lair.

It was also possible that the monster was still in its embryonic state of an ultimate Apocalyptic Beast.

It was even possible that the monster mastermind had pinned its last hope on this monster before it fell into the hands of the humans.

In short, after the monster civilization had been destroyed, the monster temporarily lost the ability to escape the Hidden Mist Domain.

It could only hide in the depths of Mist Mountain using the principle of “darkness under the lamp” and incubate in silence.

Perhaps, it had a series of horrifying evil plans.

There was also the possibility of reviving the monster civilization.

Unfortunately, it bumped into a Spirit Sensor like Lu Siya…

And Meng Chao, Dragon City’s biggest miracle!

Almost everyone believed this conclusion…

Except for one person.

That was Lu Siya herself.

There was a huge dressing mirror at the end of Lu Siya’s bed.

She sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, motionless like a statue, carefully observing herself in the mirror.

It was as if she was observing a completely unfamiliar existence.

She observed the whole night just like that, not even moving a finger.

Until that morning, when Lu Fanghui walked into the ward with the final medical report in his hand and a face full of joy, she still did not lift her eyes to look at her father.

“Siya, you can leave the hospital now.”

Lu Fanghui did not care about his daughter’s unusual behavior. He shook the medical report and said, “Both the old man and the top medical team said that it was an incredible miracle that you were able to recover to your current level.

“In fact, not only had you healed your wounds and swelling, but you’ve also eliminated all the viruses and archaea that invaded your body. You also benefited from the disaster. Your cell activity has been raised to an unprecedented level. I believe that it will be of great benefit to your future training.

“It seems that you have made the right bet.

“In the most extreme weather, you trained at the summit of Mist Mountain where the crystal veins meet and activated your vitality magnetic field to the maximum and engaged in a deadly battle.

“Of course, it was a narrow escape.

“But as long as you are lucky enough to survive, you will have the opportunity to absorb a lot of spirit energy and produce mysterious reactions in the depths of your cells. That will accelerate human breakthrough!

“The old man is very satisfied with your recovery.

“The research department has finished its internal investigation on you too. You are welcome to resume your position at any time.

“There are a lot of things for you to do in the organization, the family, and the research department!”

In contrast to Lu Fanghui’s excitement…

Lu Siya, on the other hand, was unmoved.

It seemed that she was more interested in the dim light hidden in the depths of her eyes than the family and research department’s missions.

Lu Fanghui noticed his daughter’s unusual behavior.

He frowned slightly. “Siya, I know that the incident this time has been a great blow to you, but you are not the kind of person who would be depressed after a setback. Could this incident be… worse than that time on the Raging Waves Mountain Range?”

Lu Siya finally raised her head and glanced at her father indifferently.

Then, she withdrew her gaze and continued to immerse herself in her maze of thoughts, racking her brains.

“It’s not worse but weirder. I have a feeling that things are not that simple.”

After a long silence, she finally spoke.

“What’s weird about it?”

Lu Fanghui was taken aback for a moment. “Didn’t you see everything, including Meng Chao dragging the monster into the Devil’s Eye.

“I did see it with my own eyes. At least, I ‘remembered’ it and saw it with my own eyes.”

Lu Siya rubbed her temples softly. “That’s the problem, Father. Don’t you think that I remember everything too clearly?

“It seems that I shouldn’t have remembered everything so clearly for a mentally deranged, seriously injured, and dying superhuman, especially when I suffered extremely severe brain damage.

“My memories are scattered and distorted, and I even have all kinds of hallucinations. Those are the symptoms of a long recovery period after mental derangement.

“Yet, every time I close my eyes, the images I see are too clear and perfect. It’s as if… they were directly imprinted on my cerebral cortex!”

“What’s wrong with that?”

Lu Fanghui said, “Besides, you don’t remember everything. You just remember the fragments.”

“But the fragments that I remember happen to be of the most critical points. They are like crystal pearls that can be strung together into a necklace,” Lu Siya said unyieldingly.

“So?”

Lu Fanghui said, “You are one of the best among the younger generation in Dragon City. You have reached the peak of Heaven Realm before you are thirty years old. You have also practiced the secret method of mind since you were a child and received professional training from the Abnormal Beast Research Department.

“In addition to the fact that the old man has personally made a move, all the forces have spared no expense and spent the rarest medical resources to save you. Your recovery speed is faster than that of ordinary superhumans, and it is not surprising that you can regain more critical memories.

“Now, all the forces have agreed with your statements, and all the evidence is perfect. So, what are you still struggling with?”

“I, I don’t know…”

Lu Siya hesitated for a long time, but she could not figure out what she was struggling with.

She shook her head and looked at her familiar and unfamiliar self in the mirror. She let out a long sigh.

The surface of the mirror immediately blurred.

Looking at her blurry, shadowy self, she caught a subtle piece of information.

“I have a feeling that Meng Chao is still alive.”

Lu Siya closed her eyes and captured the memory fragments deep in her brain. “I seem to have an agreement with him. I will… wait for him to come back…”

Lu Fanghui took a deep breath.

He immediately narrowed his eyes.

His wrinkled expression likened him to that of an extremely shocked old fox.

“Daughter, are you telling me that you want to make the same mistake again?”

Lu Siya’s pupils contracted.

Her muscles tensed up as if it was a conditioned reflex.

It was as though she had instantly put on a set of spiky armor.

“I’m not. I’m not. How is that possible?” she blurted out.

“I think that the Gray Fox’s daughter is not so stupid either.”

Lu Fanghui’s expression and tone turned cold. “Siya, I believe that you are a smart person. You know what is an insignificant pastime and what is truly worth risking everything for.

“As smart as you are, you should know that your statement is the best ending.

“For yourself, for the Lu family, for Sky Pillar, for Superstar Resource, and most importantly, for Meng Chao and his family, it is the most perfect arrangement for them to welcome the grand sacrifice of a shining hero.

“Since the ending is already so perfect, why bother worrying about it? What if you remember more… details that are not suitable for public disclosure? Wouldn’t that be adding to the picture and tarnishing Meng Chao’s heroic image instead? Wouldn’t that be detrimental to your own development?”

Lu Siya pondered for a long time in a daze.

She had to admit that her father’s words made sense.

“That’s right. This is the best ending for Meng Chao and his family.”

Lu Siya’s expression was extremely serious as if she was trying hard to convince herself.

“That’s right. Don’t let your imagination run wild. Pack up and leave the hospital!”

Seeing that his daughter had returned to normal, an exquisite smile appeared on Lu Fanghui’s face again.

“Believe me, I will take care of everything. I will ensure that Meng Chao’s glory will forever be engraved on Dragon City’s list of heroes.

“The bountiful legacy left by Dragon City’s son, including Superstar Resource, will not be lost just like that. Instead, he will continue to grow and become stronger with both our support.

“The dead are gone, but you still have an even more important mission.

“A brand-new page has been turned in the history of Dragon City. The blank picture that is slowly unfolding is destined to be played out by your generation.

“Do your best, my daughter. The future Dragon City and the entire Other World are destined to belong to you!”
