Chapter 1321 The Missing Witness, the Biggest Suspect
From Lin Yu's words, Fu Luo understood that the visitor was definitely not Huo Ming's personal consultant, but should be a big shot and master who had a cooperative relationship with Lin Yu, and was currently using the consultant's identity to carry out activities.
Although the identity of the other party is uncertain, and the fact that a guy who looks like a grown man and has a deep male voice said that he was "showing weakness and acting coquettishly to Buye Tian Huo Ming" is a bit scary in itself, it also indirectly reflects that the other party should at least be someone who has a close relationship with Buye Tian Huo Ming.
Moreover, Fu Luo knew that since the other party was able to make Lin Yu choose to listen to his opinions, and seemed to be very clear about what Lin Yu was investigating, and was obviously a "companion" with whom Lin Yu had shared information in advance, so even if he did not understand the other party, he chose to believe Lin Yu's judgment.
So Fu Luo took the information given by the other party very seriously.
"May I ask how you can be so sure that no one has died here?"
Huo Xing of the Nightless Sky said confidently, "Because I have some alchemy techniques of my own... If there has ever been a corpse of a master or a visitor from another world here, I should be able to sense it."
"Although there seems to be no evidence to support this, I have other ways to prove it."
Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing: "Then, sir, how do you plan to prove it?"
"Extracting the memories of witnesses, of course."
Huo Xing from Buyetian spoke.
Old Zheng's voice rang out, "Sir, you didn't seem to hear. The guy we're investigating has the ability to modify his memory... The memories of everyone at this site have been artificially erased. We shouldn't be able to start from memory."
Although he recognized Buyetian Huoxing's identity directly, Lao Zheng also chose to follow Lin Yu's steps and did not call out the other party's name.
Nevernight Huoxing shook her head: "Who said I want to investigate the memories of the armed personnel stationed at this site?"
"You haven't considered this angle, and the person you're investigating has overlooked something as well... I just happened to discover that the witnesses in this lounge aren't just 'people.'"
Huo Xing from Buyetian said this, and then whistled softly.
Behind the door, a fat, chubby raccoon sauntered into the lounge, carrying a litter of seven mice by the tails.
"Well done, Captain, you caught them all."
Huo Xing bent down and stroked the fat raccoon, then stuffed a bag of potato chips into the other party's mouth and exchanged the seven mice in the other party's mouth.
After picking up the seven rats, Huo Xing of Buyetian said, "These rats are also residents of this lounge... and they might know more than the natives."
Fu Luo scratched his head: "Can the memory of mice really be trusted?"
"Don't underestimate mice. They have a good memory," Buyetian Huoxing looked at Lin Yu. "Well, since you said that 'Folpolo' is dead, but there is a 'Folpolo' standing next to you who gives me a very strange feeling and has a very strange vitality, then you should have a [prop] similar to the Buyetian family's [Book of People], right?"
Lin Yu knew that the other party was referring to the [Ancient Notes] and nodded.
"Will you use that?"
"Of course, we need to extract the mouse's memory—ready, go!"
As Buyetian Huoxing said this, he didn't care whether Lin Yu was ready or not. He then grabbed the rats by the head and tail, and with a crisp "crack" sound, he tore off the spines of all the rats.
Then, the alchemical circuit in her hand spread to the mouse corpses, quickly covering all the mouse corpses and making the mice's eyes emit a strange light.
And the subsequent behavior of the Nevernight Fire Apricot was even stranger than the changes in the mouse corpses themselves.
She twisted off the rat heads with glowing eyes, then opened the gap in the mask of her helmet and threw them into her mouth!
"Gudu."
Without chewing, Huo Xing swallowed the rat head directly into his stomach!
Seeing this scene, Fu Luo almost vomited even though he was already in the state of an information life form, and he felt nauseous on the spot.
"Ugh—no, brother, you... ugh!"
Fu Luo paused for a long time before asking the question.
"What are you doing?"
Compared to Fu Luo, Lin Yu and Lao Zheng were much calmer.
Lao Zheng is a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. He has seen a lot of disgusting things and is not surprised by this kind of neurotic behavior.
Lin Yu had anticipated this simply because he saw the mouse and the Nevernight Fire Apricot appear together.
Huo Xing of the Nightless Sky spoke calmly, "I have undergone reconstruction surgery in my abdominal cavity, and my stomach contains components for a rapid alchemical furnace. I can perform alchemy quickly—including extracting information stored within the brains of fresh corpses."
"Of course, if I want to restore this information, and get the part of it we want, my alchemy alone is not enough. I also need the assistance of a 'divine artifact' level [prop]."
Lin Yu took out the [Ancient Notes] and threw it directly to Buyetian Huoxing.
"Here you go, but how do you want to use it? Do you need me to teach you?"
"No need... This thing really looks a lot like the [Book of Humans] and the [Scroll of Earth]. I know how to use it," Huo Xing took the [Ancient Notebook] and flipped it open, then pointed it at it and said, "Look... Haha!"
Huo Xing from Buyetian lifted a corner of his helmet and spat a lot of stuff onto the notebook.
Fu Luo couldn't bear to look at it, holding his forehead: "My mother..."
Lin Yu watched this scene, but found...
What the Nevernight Fire Apricot spewed out was not "vomit".
In fact, it cannot be called "matter", but some kind of... information.
She actually extracted the mouse's memory directly.
"Snapped!"
A few seconds later, Buyetian Huoxing simply stopped vomiting, closed the notebook neatly, and handed it to Lin Yu.
"Okay, check it out... I'm pretty sure it contains the information you want to know."
As Buye Tianhuo Ming said this, Lin Yu took the [Ancient Notes] and without any nonsense, he began to reconstruct the memories from the mouse in it and simply projected them out.
Although the brain structure of mice is quite complex among animals, it is still far behind that of humans.
So the "quality" of this memory is very poor, like a video shot by an old camera with a lot of noise, blurry and distorted perspective.
However, the number of seven mice made up for it a little, and the old memories were restored to some extent.
soon……
The mouse's first-person memory perspective appears.
Foraging for food, digging holes, stealing food, and being chased by wild cats...
Although no useful information has appeared for the time being, and the humans who occasionally appear in the perspective are all drunk garrison personnel of this stronghold, but because the mouse's first-person perspective memory itself is quite novel, and the useless parts can be fast-forwarded, Lin Yu, Fu Luo, Lao Zheng and Buyetian Huoxing do not look boring.
Watching the mice's memories like some unique wildlife show, soon...
The memory finally reached the useful part.
"Squeak-"
The sound of a chair being pulled next to the bar was heard, and the mouse's vision was locked on a few peanuts scattered under the counter, and happened to see two pairs of shoes.
At the same time, there was a faint voice coming from above.
"There's also a lounge. The people in the Universal Chamber of Commerce really know how to enjoy themselves."
A familiar voice sounded...
Even though the timbre of the sound was heard and reproduced through the ears of a mouse, Lin Yu and Fu Luo still recognized it.
"It's the Mountain Team."
Fu Luo said in a low voice.
Lin Yu nodded: "I heard it."
Then, the person next to Gao Shan also spoke.
"Captain Shan, would you like a full drink?"
The other voice was, unsurprisingly, Fu Luo's.
Gao Shan also laughed: "If you want to drink, just say so. Don't drag me into it—I won't drink! We're still halfway through our mission, don't slack off!"
"It's not enough to just get these materials. We also have to deliver them to those people from the Great Wilderness who are performing the ritual!"
Hearing the sound of Gao Shan, Lin Yu understood.
"Sure enough, Fu Luo and Team Shan's mission in the last dungeon was to collect materials and deliver them to a specific location..."
In Mouse's memory, Fu Luo's distorted voice resounded, "Don't be so serious, Captain Shan. I believe in my status and background in the Wasteland Realm. Although my background isn't that useful in the Great Wasteland, don't we have another expert here?"
Gao Shan listened and nodded. "Indeed, with you two here, there's really nothing to worry about. Gathering the materials that I thought would be the most difficult turned out to be a piece of cake..."
"But that's different from being relaxed enough to have a drink right away—I won't drink in the dungeon unless it's required for a specific level."
"If you really want to drink, let's go find a food stall and I'll treat you to a drink - let's just drink some non-alcoholic drinks today."
Although this is what he said in Gaoshan dialect, his tone was very relaxed.
After hearing this part of the conversation between Fu Luo and Gao Shan, Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo.
"At least when you were in this lounge, you and Captain Gaoshan were very relaxed, and you didn't seem to be suspicious of that guy at all."
Fu Luo, the information lifeform beside Lin Yu, whispered, "Yes, judging by the time and the content of the conversation, we should have already obtained the two ores of Earth Blue Iron and Earth Blue Silver from that mining area. It's very likely that we saw the other party directly use cognitive interference ability to deal with the natives. But even so... I didn't expect that they had any problems at all."
"So, he needs to have deep roots in both Kirishima and the Wasteland Realm, or even the Wasteland Realm's main roots in the Great Wasteland. He also needs to be a master that both Team Mountain and I can be convinced of and trust..."
"Honestly, there aren't many players who meet these requirements, let alone those in the Order... Even if I expand the scope a little bit to include decent organizations like the Night's Watch and the Players' Mutual Aid Association that cooperate with the Order, I can't think of them."
Old Zheng said slowly: "I do know a candidate."
"He's also a master with deep roots in Kirishima and the Great Wasteland of the Wasteland Realm... but he's not a formal member of the Order. Although, like you, Forboluo, he's better than a formal member."
"Moreover, the other party's strength can also explain the source of your sense of security."
Fu Luo listened to what Lao Zheng said and immediately asked anxiously, "Who is it?"
Old Zheng uttered two words.
"'Tycoon'."
