Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

"That's right, it's all my fault!"

"sorry!"

Jiang Caoqian was a little afraid to face everyone, so she quickly ran to the window, buried her head in her arms, and apologized.

"Moreover, the Asuka Memory was not obtained by Fujikawa Tomoma first."

"It's you, isn't it?"

Philip sneered, strolled forward leisurely, and abruptly closed the book.

Jiang Caoqian hid her frightened expression with her bangs, somewhat afraid to look at the other person.

“Shotaro, there’s a memory interface on her wrist.” Philip casually dropped another bombshell, then walked over and grabbed her wrist, drawing everyone’s attention.

There was a connection on the white arm. Shotaro slowly stood up with a solemn expression. Apart from Akane Egusa, no one else had a connection. In other words, Akane Egusa was the true owner of the Asuka Memory!

"I was very frustrated at that time. The competition was about to start, but my condition was not good."

"It was at that moment..."

"Suddenly, an old man wearing sunglasses said he could help me." Jiang Caoqian lowered her head and slowly explained, "He said that as long as I used the Flying Bird Memory, all the problems would be solved."

"Once I transform into the Asuka Dopant, my body is filled with power, and the bottleneck seems to disappear. I keep breaking records."

"But gradually, I became afraid."

Shotaro nodded, leaning against the cabinet. After all, she was just a little girl, and it was normal for her to be afraid of something like a memory.

He then guessed, "So you told Touma and the others about the memory chip."

"Mm." Jiang Caoqian nodded and then said:

“Tongma said he wanted to try it, but I originally thought it was only for me to use.”

"Anyway, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have accepted that memory in the first place."

Jiang Caoqian burst into tears.

He said sadly.

Shotaro swallowed hard, a look of pity flashing in his eyes, and quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

"This is not your fault, and you were unaware of it." Everyone has desires, which is normal. After all, Jiang Caoqian is just a high school student.

At least Jiang Caoqian knows that this desire is harmful, which makes her more aware than most people.

"The ones who made the mistake were the people who gave the Gaia Memory to you."

Akiko also stepped forward and hugged Jiangcaoqian to comfort her.

Shotaro Zuo immediately stood up, picked up his coat and hat from the chair, and headed towards the door. "I need to go to the Wind Hair Salon first and let the owner know that Akane is alright."

"Be careful on the road!"

After giving her instructions, Akiko breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Philip, who was standing to the side, and said:

"Is this matter considered resolved?"

Philip silently flipped through his book and replied softly, "That's hard to say."

Jiang Caoqian and the others are alright.

But the guy who sold Gaia memory to minors hasn't been punished yet.

Selling the Gaia Memory, which contains terrifying power, to ordinary people is already a terrible thing, but giving it to minors is even more heinous!

......

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sonozaki Ryuhei was wearing a white suit and holding his cat, Mick.

He was currently in the basement of the Sonozaki family's house. The space here was vast, with numerous buildings, enough to be described as a city.

The surrounding area is filled with numerous retro stone buildings, reflecting certain complex patterns.

Amidst these mysterious stones stands a massive golden well.

This is actually an instrument.

It is connected to the Earth's core.

Sonozaki Ryubei slowly walked to the front of the well and looked into it, her voice filled with reminiscence, "Here, we obtained the memories of Earth, and through research and creation, we obtained the Gaia Memory."

He looked up, surveyed his surroundings, and gazed at the place he had spent so much money and resources to build and protect. He muttered to himself, "The Earth's memory remains shrouded in mystery, so we must conduct experiments. Thus, the museum allowed the Gaia Memory to circulate throughout Fengdu."

Chapter Sixty-One: Letting the Water Go! Lu Chen Becomes the De facto Ruler of the Sonozaki Family!

He gently put the cat down from his arms, walked straight to a spot to the side, and pressed a key on the computer. Instantly, the well and the several upright stone sculptures next to it, which were in a protective state, emitted a dazzling blue beam of light.

Sonozaki Ryubei manipulated the computer next to her and murmured softly, "What interests us now is the Asuka Memory."

The computer screen displayed information about those who had used Asuka memory.

"Initially, I didn't intend to give the memory to minors, but as my research progressed, I discovered that the less mature a child was, the more accurate and effective the data I could obtain."

"Their pure and flawless spirit and body allow the bird's memory to evolve rapidly."

As he spoke, his gaze became deep and profound.

"And then... I broke through the limit!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sonozaki Ryubei turned around and looked at Lu Chen, Saeko, Wakana, and Sudo Kirihiko, who had also come here.

"You can understand me, right?"

"I understand, but..."

"Uncle, this kind of thing is not very good. Can you stop?"

Lu Chen stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Xiao Chen, I can agree to anything else, but what about the memory chip...?"

Sonozaki Ryubei changed the subject:

What if I don't stop?

"Then I'll have to help you out. After all, as your son-in-law, I can't just stand by and watch you sink deeper and deeper into the wrong path."

"Hahahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Sonozaki Ryubei couldn't help but burst into laughter. For some reason, even though he was laughing, Wakana, Saeko, and Kirihiko all felt a chill run through their bodies, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The emotion called fear was growing and expanding in their hearts, making their faces turn solemn.

Only Lu Chen remained calm.

After a long silence, Sonozaki Ryubei's smile faded, and she said in a deep voice, "Xiao Chen, when you possessed the Eternal Memory, I suspected that woman might have already made contact with you beforehand."

"After all, there aren't many people who can research such a powerful Gaia Memory."

"Now it seems that's indeed the case."

"Sigh, so many years have passed, and she's still holding a grudge about what happened back then."

Sonozaki Ryubei sighed. Lu Chen raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the old man had misunderstood something.

but...

It doesn't matter.

Or rather, it suited his purposes perfectly.

Rather than explaining that memory comes from the system.

It would be better to be misunderstood as originating from Sherrard.

"In short, Uncle, I hope you will be sensible and listen to me, and not do anything you shouldn't do."

As Lu Chen spoke, a memory device appeared in his hand—the T2 Eternal!

The threat was obvious to everyone.

Sonozaki Ryubei didn't answer, but instead looked at the three people behind Lu Chen.

"You think so too?"

"You're even willing to fight me?"

Saeko took a deep breath and spoke first:

"Father, you... are getting old."

With a flick of his wrist, T2 Forbidden appeared!

Following closely behind was Kirihiko Sudo, who also made a statement.

“Master, whether as a subordinate of the manager or as a member of Fengdu, I have every reason to stop you, even if it means my own utter destruction.”

Sudo Kirihiko smiled, his eyes resolute.

As for Wakana, to be honest, Lu Chen didn't inform her at first; there was no need.

But when the girl received the news and found that Lu Chen, Saeko, and the others were all there, but she was the only one missing, she immediately ran home from outside.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter...

Wakana has also made a decision.
