Chapter 139 Lost Memories

Tang Xiaoyan quickly instructed the system to investigate the unsent emails in Sang Tian's cloud mailbox.

The system quickly received an answer.

[Reporting to the host, Sang Tian's emails contain evidence of Shen Jinxi's crimes.]

The system's words are quite clear at this point.

Shen Jinxi is another person who possesses a system.

How could it be her? Tang Xiaoyan frowned, her emotions a jumble of thoughts, unsure how to answer Sang Tian.

After hesitating for a long time, Tang Xiaoyan admitted, "The person you mentioned is very likely my partner. It's just that before I met you, I didn't know that there was someone else who was bound to the system like me."

“I sensed the same energy in you as my system. I don’t know why the other party is targeting you, but our ultimate goal is the same.”

Sang Tian was shocked. She never expected that she would accidentally use her ultimate move so close to Tang Xiaoyan, only to discover that Tang Xiaoyan was actually Shen Jinxi's accomplice.

“I just checked the emails you failed to send. They contained evidence of Shen Jinxi’s crimes. To be honest, I don’t want someone with such bad character to be my partner, but I do need someone.”

Sang Tian wasn't stupid; she understood the hints.

"Let's wait and see. I'm sure she'll get restless."

Shen Jinxi has been much more well-behaved lately.

"Oh, right, there's something else I'd like you to help me with."

Tang Xiaoyan feigned displeasure, "You won't even agree to be my combat partner, yet you keep asking me for help. Don't you think that's going too far?"

"Really? Or would you like to pick something else to take with you?"

Tang Xiaoyan's eyes darted around, her attitude changing, "Anything? Even people?"

Upon hearing her words, Sang Tian had a strange premonition.

"Who do you want?"

Tang Xiaoyan's gaze fell on Lu Mian. "I'll only borrow him for a few days. Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything to him."

What do you want to do with him?

"I discovered many powerful alien beasts imprisoned in the Wuming Prison. After observing them for some time, I found that many of them were imprisoned because they disobeyed the Stardust. I was thinking that if I wanted to help them get out, I would need to find a place to accommodate them."

Tang Xiaoyan looked at Lu Mian with a sly smile, her intentions malicious.

“Lu Mian is a local, so he can definitely do me a favor. I might need your help to bring him in later.”

Sang Tian was on the verge of tears; what difference was there between this and agreeing to cooperate with her?

But in order to dispel her doubts, Sang Tian nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'd like you to check if my memories have been deleted or altered?"

Sang Tian had kept in mind He Zi's strange behavior at the checkout last time.

"The most recent?"

Tang Xiaoyan thought that Shen Jinxi had altered Sang Tian's memories, and subconsciously assumed that it was the other party who did it.

"From childhood to adulthood."

Tang Xiaoyan agreed and let the system check Sang Tian's memories.

[Host, Sang Tian's childhood memories were deleted once, but her adult memories have not been touched. Do you need me to restore them?]

"Fix it."

Sang Tian couldn't hear Tang Xiaoyan's conversation with the system; she could only wait on the sidelines.

Ten minutes later, the system's voice sounded again.

[Repair complete. Would you like to play this publicly, or should I send it directly to Sang Tian's cloud email?]

Tang Xiaoyan thought for a moment, realizing it was someone else's privacy. "Send it to her email."

【Okay.】A few seconds later, 【Email sent.】

Then the system went silent.

"Your memories have indeed been tampered with, but not with the present ones, but with those from your childhood. I've already had the system fix your memories and sent them to your email. Now you owe me a favor, and I'll let you know how to repay it next time."

"Do I owe you another favor?"

Sang Tian felt like she had boarded a black ship.

Worried that she might change her mind, Tang Xiaoyan made an excuse to leave, saying, "I'll come to pick her up tomorrow; I'll leave her to you today."

After saying hello, Tang Xiaoyan left the store to find Quan Jingtian.

Sang Tian shook her head helplessly. After confirming that she had received a video in her email, she didn't rush to watch it.

“Lu Mian, you heard what we just said. She’s coming here tomorrow, so you go with her. If anything happens… send me a message.”

Speaking of sending messages, Sang Tian suddenly remembered that Lu Mian was an unregistered person, not even a flawed beastman.

In that case, without access to the cloud, they can only contact her using communication devices from the black market.

She only has one right now, and it looks like she'll have to ask Quan Jingtian for another one.

This product is still in trial operation and has not been fully distributed. It will be available for sale only after all functions are perfected.

Communication requires maintenance, just like buying a phone card in the previous life, each person needs to pay 100 crystals every month to use it normally.

This money belongs to the black market.

Sang Tian spent a day in the black market. By 4 p.m., all the goods in the shop had been sold out, and there was nothing left. She was forced to close down.

The specific opening date will be announced by Sang Tian.

“Wu Yanghao, Lu Mian will be leaving for a while tomorrow. Give this to him and tell him to keep in touch with me.”

The communication device hadn't been named yet, and Sang Tian didn't know what to call it either, so she could only offer him her own suggestion.

When Wu Yanghao heard that he was leaving, he was overjoyed and quickly took out his communication device from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Mian's hand.

Brother, may you rest in peace!

Sang Tian was speechless, but reminded him, "He's not going to die. He'll be back in a couple of days."

"Yes, I really like it here, and I will definitely come back."

Wu Yanghao and Feng Qi's faces turned pale instantly.

“He’s not some kind of serial killer. How come the two of you combined aren’t even as brave as me? With your courage and strength, what if our shop gets robbed in the future? I feel more at ease with Lu Mian guarding it.”

Having weathered so many storms, Wu Yanghao and Feng Qi not only failed to gain a clear understanding of life, but instead became increasingly timid.

Upon receiving Sang Tian's affirmation, Lu Mian's lips unconsciously curled up, and she was in a very good mood.

Wu Yanghao was worried, "Some customers said it smelled like a zombie."

Since yesterday, Wu Yanghao has been speculating about Lu Mian's origins, but has yet to find a definitive answer. When receiving some guests with a keen sense of smell, many detected the scent of zombies on Lu Mian.

"Really?" Sang Tian leaned closer to sniff, but there was no smell at all. "Lu Mian was indeed a zombie before, but I have successfully purified him with my superpower. He is not only safe, but also more innocent than all of you."

Sang Tian was worried that leaving Lu Mian here would lead people astray.

The zombies have been cleansed?!
Clearly, the idea that the zombies were purified was more acceptable to the two of them than the fact that the zombies were a serial killer.

"Boss, with your amazing abilities, wouldn't you be able to rule the Floating Islands? They're full of mutated beastmen. If you could purify them, you could become the king!"

Sang Tian couldn't help but laugh after hearing Feng Qi's fantasy. "I have material for my dream tonight. Thank you."

I'm an hour late, but it's better than yesterday! (Making excuses for myself)
