Chapter 356 Memory Recovery
If the scenes in ordinary memories are only vague plots, then in this place, everything becomes extremely clear.
Xia Xiaoyu stood in the middle of the crowd. The adults around her were all very tall, and her perspective was completely that of a child. She walked through the crowd and no one could see her.
From that day on, she lived alone in the huge mansion. Xia Xiaoyu's family was an aristocratic family. From childhood to adulthood, her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all taken care of by someone. But from now on, no one would take care of her anymore. Her favorite meals became randomly served on the table, and no one washed her clothes for her.
After experiencing the initial chaos, she finally got used to this kind of life where no one could see her. At this moment, memories that did not exist suddenly came to her mind, and an extra message appeared in her mind - if you want to feel less lonely, then find someone who can see you, and share your strength with them, so that someone can see you.
The information came to her so naturally, as if it had been in her mind from the beginning and she had simply forgotten it at first.
The scene in front of her eyes was still changing rapidly. Xia Xiaoyu relived herself standing in front of the mirror, talking to the mirror; reading aloud stories from a book in her parents' room; following her younger brother to kindergarten, and helping her brother teach those people a lesson when she saw someone bullying her younger brother.
What if no one helps to wash clothes ? She learned to wash clothes by herself.
What if no one helped her buy new clothes? She learned to get them from the store herself.
What should I do if I break my wrist when I cross the road on the sidewalk while looking at the traffic light? I gritted my teeth and pushed the dislocated bone back to its original position... Fortunately, there were no sequelae, and with the strong recovery genes inherited from my parents, I did not encounter more problems during the recovery process.
But since then, she knew she had to be extra careful when acting in public, as no one would give way to her anymore.
She had a cold and diarrhea, but without sufficient medical knowledge, she could only endure the abdominal pain while searching for simple treatment methods on the Internet. She went to the pharmacy to buy medicine according to the instructions on the Internet, but the waiter ignored her, so she had to look for it herself.
After falling ill several times, Xia Xiaoyu realized that humans are social animals and no one can survive alone away from the group. If she were alone, she might not live long. What kept her going was the unidentified information in her mind. The information told Xia Xiaoyu that there were people in the world who could see her, and she could go find such people and become companions with them.
Then, she would no longer be alone.
The scenes in her memory flashed through Xia Xiaoyu's mind quickly. Although the speed was very fast, Xia Xiaoyu was extremely familiar with every detail. Seeing them again was like reliving those difficult years. Even she herself found it incredible.
Perhaps sometimes children's will is stronger than that of adults. As long as there is a little hope left, no matter how small that hope is, they will believe that they can grasp it.
And then——Xia Xiaoyu caught it.
She met that person, and then there was a period of ecstasy, years of incomparable happiness, and then despair came again, and she returned to her original state. That incredible power expanded uncontrollably as the number of people who signed contracts with her increased, and eventually even cause and effect were trampled under that power.
Then, no one could see her except those who had made a contract with her.
As a young child, she trusted the "companions" with whom she had made a contract, and had no idea of the value and risks of the power she controlled. Thus, a religion with an unclear purpose was established.
She became the queen of the entire sect, sitting on the highest throne. Hundreds of steps below, everyone prostrated themselves at her feet and saluted respectfully.
Some of those people possess wealth that rivals that of a country, and some possess extraordinary supernatural powers - power, wisdom, violence, wealth. They are conquered and united by a force that distorts cause and effect, and can never betray!
But... this is not what she wants, all she wants is friends and family.
"Queen, about thirty people have been selected today. Perhaps they will be able to see you. Please sign a contract with them then."
A handsome face appeared in front of Xia Xiaoyu. The tall blond man bowed respectfully in front of her and smiled at her with tenderness between his eyebrows. Xia Xiaoyu, recalling this scene, felt an indescribable chill in her heart, as if a poisonous snake was coiling up her calf, crawling along her skin over her thigh and across her body.
Gabriel, the man who controlled her life.
"Gabriel, I want to go out. I don't want to stay here any longer. You said you would take me to the island where it snows all year round. When are we going there?"
"I'm sorry, it's not possible yet... You still have a lot to learn. Xiaoyu must help me intimidate the group of people below. Without you, they won't listen to me, and then everything will be messed up. You don't want me to be embarrassed by these people, right?"
"but……"
"Aren't we friends?"
Gabriel whispered softly in her ear, and the words that once sounded gentle now sounded sickeningly smug.
Finally, she compromised.
Under the man's arrangement, she signed contracts with more people. Relying on those people, she had everything she had never had before. There were professional doctors among the believers who came to check her body every day, and even the clothes she wore and three meals a day were carefully arranged.
The man did agree to some of the conditions he promised, but these were not what Xia Xiaoyu wanted, so... she had a conflict with the man for the first time.
"I'm going out! I'm not some queen! Don't treat me like a child!"
"I never treated you as a child. I was just helping you find more friends."
"They are not friends!"
"But they are powerful and can help me find people more quickly in a larger area. At least we need these people right now." The man smiled bitterly with a hint of indulgence and annoyance.
The other person's ever-smiling and never-angry face irritated her, so she picked up the vase on the bedside table and smashed it hard on the other person's head. Looking at the scarlet liquid flowing down the other person's forehead, Xia Xiaoyu was at a loss for the first time, but the other person still just smiled and apologized.
After that conflict, she had several more playmates of the same age around her. Before that, she had never met anyone of her own age who could see her.
But Xia Xiaoyu knew that these people were different from her previous kindergarten friends. They were not her real friends, and she wanted to leave.
…
More memories poured into Xia Xiaoyu's mind, a large amount of information, all of which she had never remembered before, but after recalling them again, they were all so familiar. The originally scattered fragments were perfectly integrated together. Those key turning points in life were like bubbles that expanded to the limit on the seabed and eventually floated up, becoming larger and larger in the process of floating up, and finally bursting on the sea surface.
Know the truth...
An encounter while escaping...
Deception after trust...
betray……
——Amnesia !
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes, and all her memories were restored. But at the same time, she realized that she had also lost the most critical qualification, which was the qualification to harm the power sharer!
“Damn it!”
Xia Xiaoyu reached out to touch the storage box number seven next to her, but found nothing. Suddenly, the laughter of the rebellious king was heard behind her.
"Ahaha! Looks like you remembered! Great~"
Xia Xiaoyu turned around and looked at the rebel who was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed. He looked at her with excitement, as if he was expecting her to say something.
"You lied to me!"
"No, I didn't lie to you. The honest recorder can prove everything. You asked me carefully before." The rebellious man spread his hands with an innocent look.
"I mean the time I lost my memory!"
"Oh, sorry about that time, haha! Because you are so cute, I wanted to tease you a little and see what you would look like when you become like that. As expected, you are the best! I really like you so much!"
The rebel stood up from his chair and opened his arms to Xia Xiaoyu.
Suddenly, her expression froze, and she tilted her head, as if she remembered something, and showed an apologetic expression: "Oh, I forgot that I have said this before. Were you quite shy because of this confession just now?"
"Fuck your mother!"
Xia Xiaoyu roared, her emotions completely out of control, and rushed forward with her fist raised.
The rebel narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, he raised his foot and kicked Xia Xiaoyu straight in the stomach.
But her kick did not do what she imagined. It did not send Xia Xiaoyu flying. Her kick hit Xia Xiaoyu's body and had no power at all.
"Eh?" The rebel was stunned.
Xia Xiaoyu took advantage of the moment when the rebel was stunned and smashed his face with her fist, like a hammer accelerated by a machine, knocking him to the ground.
Xia Xiaoyu knew that this attack was effective only because it caught the enemy by surprise, because the rebel didn't know that she had learned the alienation. Considering the force of the samurai sword that the rebel had easily caught when she chopped him down with all her strength before, the power of her kick could have been far more than that.
However...it seemed that she had overestimated the opponent, because the touch feedback from Xia Xiaoyu's fist told her that her punch just now broke the opponent's jawbone.
But no matter what, the first thing she needs to control is the memory device! She wants to get the laptop!
Perhaps he was too confident in his own ability, so Zuo Lujun did not hide the laptop with the USB flash drive inserted, but placed it on the bed instead. So Xia Xiaoyu reached out and got it. The moment she got the USB flash drive, Zuo Lujun also jumped up from the ground.
"You have actually learned how to alienate. You are so smart, sister." A smile appeared on the corner of the rebellious man's mouth.
Xia Xiaoyu stared at the other person, stunned.
There was no sign of being attacked on the opponent's face. She clearly felt that she had broken the opponent's jaw just now, but why? !
Is it a reborn person?
It should be! At least this guy's face has not changed at all from what I remember. After so many years, time has not left a trace on her appearance. She must be a reborn person!
"Even though I like you very much, I like give and take, so you should come as well."
The rebel raised his foot and made the same forward kick as before. Xia Xiaoyu wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Then the next second... she was like a lightweight elastic man, and was bounced out, directly breaking through the wall and crashing into the empty house next door.
Xia Xiaoyu felt her stomach was numb and she lost consciousness. She had clearly used high-dimensional power to defend herself, so could the opponent also have alienated skills?
The attack just now was too fast and she didn't feel it clearly, but Xia Xiaoyu felt that her guess should be correct. The opponent also mastered alienation and his skills were much stronger than hers.
Xia Xiaoyu knew that the rebel had no intention of killing her. This woman had a wicked taste for playing with people's hearts. She had been like that for many years, and it seemed that there had been no change at all now.
"That kick must have hurt a lot, and the punch you gave me just now also hurt a lot." The Rebellious King said with a smile.
She stepped over the broken hole in the wall and entered the next room. Flora, who was sitting on the bed, looked at the scene in confusion. Because of Xia Xiaoyu's characteristics, all of the rebels' behaviors seemed normal to her. The only thing that confused Flora was the rebels' silence.
"Ms. Luan, what should we do next?" Flora asked in a low voice. She thought that Mr. Luan was thinking.
"Wait a moment, I need to think about it." The rebellious man replied loudly.
She walked to Xia Xiaoyu, leaned over, grabbed Xia Xiaoyu's hair, pulled Xia Xiaoyu up, then held her face and looked at her carefully.
"Ah~~ What should I do? The more you hate me, the more I want you to like me."
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned, she was completely shocked.
In addition, the impact of the kick just now also made Xia Xiaoyu feel familiar, as if... as if she had been kicked with exactly the same force and angle recently.
A flash of lightning flashed through Xia Xiaoyu's mind, and she inexplicably recalled it - the guy wearing a clown mask on the rainy day when the Beast Demon appeared!
"Beast Demon...did you do it too?" Xia Xiaoyu stared at the other party with eyes wide open.
"That's absolutely right! But don't be afraid of me. I have no intention of harming you. Although I arranged the sneak attack of the demon, you should have felt that the demon's last attack was inexplicably off-target and did not hit your vital points."
The rebel let go of Xia Xiaoyu's hair, turned around and walked back to Flora's room.
"Be good, I won't do anything to you. I've already said I'm here to help you. Didn't the honest recorder prove it before? Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe the recorder!"
