Chapter 314 Knows Everything
Xie Qingdu once said that he saw someone crying and begging Dr. Du for help in that hospital.
Ning Hengyuan said that the medicine could help stabilize the soul.
Even the most powerful magic cannot conjure flesh and blood out of thin air without a vessel.
The reason why the ghosts and monsters in those stories can be touched is because they have great magical power.
But these people were just ordinary souls reincarnated by Ning Hengyuan using magic; they had no magical power whatsoever.
Besides the monthly "elixir," Ning Hengyuan must have used other methods to make them look more like living people.
Looking at his hands, Yan Xun couldn't help but think of the paper figures that were active in the community... Could it be that Ning Hengyuan was using paper figures as vessels for their souls?
"There's something I don't understand," Du Yun said. "Why did the master use so many people to reincarnate?"
"To make money?"
"But he seems to earn quite a bit by helping people with feng shui and changing their fate."
"Could it be to test whether his spell is effective?"
But didn't this prove to be effective after Xie Qingdu "resurrected"?
According to Du Yun's mother, for wealthy people to truly resurrect a reincarnated person, the original family must make a sacrifice—the family members must conspire to sacrifice the weakest member in exchange for the reincarnated wealthy person's true resurrection.
Du Yun's mother had no idea what would happen to the wealthy people after they were resurrected.
She had only vaguely heard about this business deal from Dr. Du.
From beginning to end, the master's purpose remained vague.
To say he did it to truly revive Xie Qingdu? But as long as he ignores Xie Qingdu, he can live a normal life.
If it was all about getting rich and making a fortune, he's already financially independent as a master who helps people change their names and does feng shui.
"What a strange person," Fang Shuo muttered. "It's like their only purpose in life is to take revenge on society."
Unable to find any clues during the online meeting, the participants had to temporarily end the conversation.
Yan Xun rocked back and forth in his chair. "It can't really be revenge against society, can it?"
He looked at Lou Yanchuan, "Give me some ideas?"
"A revenge-against-society mentality?" Lou Yanchuan asked.
“Since he knows your grandmother, he should try to find a breakthrough through her,” Lou Yanchuan said.
“The problem is, I can’t contact her at all now,” Yan Xun said. “I have no memory of her.”
"Doesn't this prove something?" Lou Yanchuan said. "Only clues would be deliberately hidden."
"Those things you couldn't remember before, aren't they proof that they are clues?"
Yan Xun continued rocking back and forth in his chair. This was the first time he had ever felt that the clues in a dungeon were so intricate and confusing, like a tangled ball of yarn.
“I think there’s someone who might know,” Lou Yanchuan said.
"Who?"
"Shuangshuang".
Lou Yanchuan began, "She visited her grandmother at the sanatorium back then, and also met Xie Qingdu's distant relatives."
"I also know about your nighttime nightmares that trigger your illness."
Yan Xun stopped shaking.
He immediately left the room and found Shuangshuang, who was doing her homework with a worried expression.
"Uncle will help you with your summer homework." Yan Xun ruthlessly sold out Lou Yanchuan. "Can you tell me a little more about Grandma?"
Shuangshuang put down her pen and silently handed the homework to Yan Xun.
Yan Xun, carrying a pen and homework, led Shuangshuang to his room, where he handed all the homework and pens to Lou Yanchuan.
Lou Yanchuan: "?"
"I wrote?"
Shuangshuang coughed twice. "I just remembered something else."
Lou Yanchuan: "..."
He lowered his head and began to do Shuangshuang's summer homework.
Shuangshuang nodded in satisfaction, and then slowly said, "Actually, before, when we were in the old house, I heard Grandma chatting with someone."
"I wanted to go to my grandma's study to find something interesting."
“But they don’t usually let me in, so I sneaked in,” Shuangshuang said. “When I heard someone coming, I immediately hid.”
"Then I heard them talking."
"Only my grandma and I were home that day, so my parents didn't know about it."
Yan Xun handed Shuangshuang a bag of snacks. "What did they say?"
Shuangshuang gave Yan Xun an approving look, as if to say that he was very perceptive.
“I heard from Grandma that…” Shuangshuang cleared her throat.
Do you still believe in the revelations you received?
Do you still believe in your divine kingdom?
"Are you still so stubbornly clinging to your delusions even now?"
Shuangshuang imitated her grandmother, repeating these three sentences.
"Revelation? Kingdom of God?" Yan Xun repeated these keywords. "How was Grandma's health at that time?"
“My health wasn’t very good,” Shuangshuang recalled. “Then my grandmother contracted a strange disease and has been bedridden ever since.”
"What did the people who came in with Grandma say?" Yan Xun asked.
“He said that the Kingdom of God will always come, and those who are not prepared will only become victims.” Shuangshuang didn’t seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, but simply repeated it verbatim.
"Grandma said that he would be devoured and die before the Kingdom of God arrives."
"The person across from me laughed for a long time and said that Grandma doesn't have many days left, so she should cherish the present."
Shuangshuang looked a little confused as she said this, "But isn't Grandma living in a nursing home now?"
Why did he say that?
Yan Xun and Lou Yanchuan, who was doing his homework next to him, exchanged a glance.
It seems that the person talking to Grandma was Ning Hengyuan.
What exactly does Ning Hengyuan mean by the divine kingdom? Could it be that all the bad things he did were preparations for the divine kingdom?
Whoever kills the most goes to heaven? Yan Xun thought that was too absurd.
"Did they say anything else?" Yan Xun asked.
"For example, what exactly is the Kingdom of God?"
Shuangshuang shook her head, "But that person seems to have known Grandma for a long time."
"Grandma said he's gone mad, that he would actually believe such nonsense."
“He said, ‘I’m different from you.’ This isn’t my world.”
"Then Grandma told him to get out."
"Did you see what that person looked like?" Yan Xun asked.
"It looks like he has a goatee?" Shuangshuang said uncertainly. "I only peeked through the crack."
After the guests left, Shuangshuang was found by her grandmother.
"She didn't say anything after she found you?"
“She did!” Shuangshuang said. “She asked if you made any friends in college.”
I said I didn't know!
"But Grandma seemed a little sad."
Sad? Yan Xun had no memory of Granny Shi. He didn't understand whether Shuangshuang's sadness was because she hadn't made any new friends or for some other reason.
"Has anything changed since I graduated from high school?" Yan Xun asked.
Shuangshuang looked worried. "Does becoming more and more obedient count?"
"Mom and Dad both say you've grown up and become more mature," Shuangshuang muttered. "But sometimes I feel like you're a stranger to me."
"It's not quite the same as before."
As Shuangshuang spoke, she suddenly thought of an example: "One day your parents ask you, 'Are you still associating with that person from the tutoring center?'"
"You don't know who that person is."
"Mom and Dad breathed a sigh of relief and said it was good that you forgot about those shady friends."
"The master said that we shouldn't have too much contact with that person."
Yan Xun knew from Shuangshuang's words that the person she was referring to was Xie Qingdu.
He always found it strange that after graduation, apart from the time he went to Xie Qingdu to clarify the truth, there had been no further contact.
It seems there are indeed some hidden reasons behind this.
“Oh, right!” Shuangshuang added, “They also said that the master’s method is still the most effective.”
"This happened during the summer after I graduated?"
“Yes!” Shuangshuang nodded vigorously.
Yan Xun didn't know if six-year-old Shuangshuang could remember so much, but he was certain that it was a hint from an NPC designed within the instance.
Since the dungeon is designed this way, it can only mean that this is a key piece of information.
During his summer vacation, he suddenly stopped associating with Xie Qingdu, whom he had met at the tutoring class—his parents shouldn't have known about this.
Yan Xun recalled the night Xie Qingdu brought her back.
Perhaps his parents saw it at that time?
After Shuangshuang left, Yanxun watched Lou Yanchuan do his homework while waiting for his parents to return. Several more fires broke out, but they were all extinguished without incident.
When his father returned, Yan Xun blocked his way.
"Have you met Xie Qingdu?" Yan Xun asked. "You mean the tall, thin man in the yellow house?"
Dad immediately looked away, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Yan Xun knew something was amiss the moment he saw his reaction.
"Xie Qingdu told me..."
"What did he say to you?" Dad asked hurriedly.
“He said that the day he brought me back, he saw you peeking from upstairs,” Yan Xun said.
"Impossible!" Dad said firmly. "He absolutely couldn't have seen me at that time..."
At this point, the NPC looked like he'd let something slip and muttered to himself, "It was the master who told me to pay attention."
He said you might have met some shady people recently and told me to keep an eye on your movements.
"I only found out about this person because I saw you came back so late."
"Are you the master's dog?" Yan Xun couldn't help but ask. "You listen to everything he says?"
The NPC just looked confused; that's just how the story goes, and he's so superstitious about the master's power.
"so what?"
What did you do?
"The master told me not to worry about it," Dad said. "You'll forget about this friend after a while."
"A new name is a new beginning."
Yan Xun understood everything he heard.
When a master changes his name, he must have done something to it—it's said that in monster stories, knowing the "real name" allows you to make the monster obey your commands.
His second name was given to him by the master, and he himself was a "dead man" who was reincarnated by the master using secret methods. If the master wanted to control him and erase his memories, it would be a piece of cake.
With her father's heartfelt words, Yan Xun finally gained a memory related to her grandmother.
In my memory, he was in a hospital room, next to a man who was unconscious.
Grandma looked a little weak, but she smiled and said to Yan Xun, "I saw Xie Qingdu a few days ago."
"Xie Qingdu?" The name seemed unfamiliar to me, and I didn't remember it at all.
“Yes,” Grandma said, “he and you used to know each other.”
"But I don't remember anything about it."
Grandma looked at the unconscious man on the hospital bed and said to Yan Xun, "Someone did something bad."
"Actually, I also did bad things."
"Fortunately, this matter is almost over."
"Did you do what I asked you to do last time?" Grandma asked.
“Yes, I found a talisman in my uncle’s wallet,” Yan Xun said, handing the photo to his grandmother.
Grandma looked at the photo, muttered a few words, and then said, "When you get home, take this amulet out and burn it."
"Give the burned talisman water to your uncle."
In his memory, Yan Xun instinctively wanted to refute, but his expression paused for a moment, and then he nodded, "I understand, Grandma."
Grandma's expression, however, was far from happy.
She simply looked at her hands and said, "I've already explained the method."
"Xie Qingdu knows everything."
“But if he dies, none of you will survive.”
She rambled on and on, then looked at Yan Xun. Seeing that Yan Xun didn't understand what she meant, she just smiled and said, "Just consider me senile."
"He said some strange things."
She then instructed Yan Xun, "Remember to find that talisman and burn it."
"No matter what your uncle says, you must make him drink that cup of talisman water."
She seemed tired as she finished speaking, and waved to Yan Xun, "Go back now."
Yan Xun then stood up and said, "Then you should get some rest."
The memory ends there. Yan Xun doesn't know if she burned the talisman and gave it to Lou Yanchuan after she returned.
He guessed that if Lou Yanchuan drank it, the spell would be completely broken.
Even my own grandmother's living dead state can be lifted.
Since she had already sent Yan Xun to find the talisman, she probably already understood what she had sacrificed in her current state of being alive—and only Ning Hengyuan could cast such a spell.
He deliberately let Grandma Yanxun know.
Let her know what she is burning to prolong her life, and let her know how foolish, ignorant, and greedy her eldest son is.
The most crucial piece of information in my memory is that one sentence—
"Xie Qingdu knows everything."
But if Xie Qingdu knew all this, why did he still walk into this carefully laid trap?
He already knew that his distant relative had ill intentions, but he still proceeded according to Ning Hengyuan's plan.
Yan Xun could guess the meaning behind his grandmother's other remark.
The phrase "If he dies, none of you will survive" likely refers to Ning Hengyuan. All of them were "reincarnated" through Ning Hengyuan, and once he dies, the spell will become ineffective.
Seeing that Yan Xun was deep in thought and had no time to pay attention to him, his father quietly left.
Yan Xun found Lou Yanchuan, who was still helping Shuangshuang with her homework, and told him the things he remembered.
“I suspect…” Yan Xun paused, “Grandma might mean that they are planning to turn the tables on us.”
"She said Xie Qingdu knows everything."
"But he still trusted his distant relative and went to that villa again later."
Yan Xun spoke hesitantly because he wasn't sure of his own thoughts.
"Perhaps in that villa, when they were dividing him up, he was swapped with Ning Hengyuan."
