It turns out that the crystal also contained memories. Strangely, after it was absorbed, it seemed to have become a container, and it did not disappear. The memories inside could be viewed at any time.

It turns out that the woman is a combination of a human and a phantom flower, but she also has an inseparable relationship with the phantom flower.

Fifty years ago, she was a student in this city. She had just passed the high school entrance exam through her own efforts and awakened a rare spiritual ability.

Misfortune began from this moment. His kind and amiable teacher had been secretly researching how to give humans the power of demons, hoping to grant them the power to benefit all mankind. His idea was good, but he gradually became lost in it. At first, he went in the wrong direction, stitching together human corpses and demons. Later, he used living people and began to use magic circles he had accidentally obtained to assist him. Later still, he used magicians.

The last time, under the guise of tutoring, he summoned some of the most talented students in his class, including this girl, and even used the remains of a demon warrior that he had accidentally obtained on the black market.

Although he didn't recognize what kind of demon it was, during the most crucial step of the experiment, the Inquisition, investigating the recent disappearances in the city, broke down the door. How could he, a mere novice mage, resist the Inquisition? In this critical situation, he voluntarily threw himself into the magic circle that was fusing with the demon...

His own soul fought against the souls of several students. The souls that died were absorbed by others. In the end, only the girl and he were left, and neither could defeat the other, but he was the one in control.

They woke up in a garbage dump, and to their dismay, they discovered that the demon they had merged with was unable to move and could only use its offspring...

The screams that emanate every evening are the result of the girl's struggle with him. The girl wants to attract attention so that she can get rid of them, and because of the girl, those parasitized by the cytoplasm have not died.

Zhang Chen also opened his eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "Let's go see if her family is still alive. Her last wish..."

"Walk!"

"We can't go empty-handed..."

Zhang Chen's magic has dropped one level in all its elements, but almost half of the stars in each elemental nebula have been strengthened, meaning that the four basic magic elements have undergone an additional change.

Zhang Chen estimated that his current physical strength was about the same as that of a great general, and his mental strength seemed to have increased after absorbing that crystal.

"I wonder what opportunities await in the desolate city that will grant Mo Fan the Demonic Magic... The name 'Demonic Magic' sounds like dark magic; I probably can't use it."

remote old residential area in the west of the city

Zhang Chen and Mo Fan knocked on the green iron gate, which was completely covered in white couplets, according to their memory.

The footsteps inside the house were almost inaudible, and the person inside seemed to be moving with great difficulty with each step.

two minutes later

The iron gate slowly opened from the inside, revealing an old woman covered in age spots and unusually short in stature.

"Grandma, are you Qin Xinya's family?" Zhang Chen asked directly.

Upon hearing that name, the old man's hand, which wasn't resting on the doorframe, trembled uncontrollably. In a hoarse, trembling voice, he cried out, "Have you seen me... my daughter?... Where is she?... Why hasn't she returned?... It's been fifty years..."

Seeing the old man's excited expression, Zhang Chen emitted a milky white light, from which a healing spirit flew out, replenishing the old man's energy.

"Grandma, we are Qin Xinya's subordinates. She asked us to pass on a few words to you. She said that these past few years... because she has been doing special work for the country, she has not been able to come and fulfill her filial duties to you... so she asked us to bring you some money so that you can live well and not worry about her." Seeing the old lady's expression, Zhang Chen was afraid that she would not be able to accept it, so he decided to lie to her for a while and handed her a card.

"Grandma! We have some things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now..."

……

Afterwards, the two of them went to the Azure Sky Hunter's Den to show Lingling the memories inside the crystal.

Lingling's eyes reddened slightly as she said, "She's such a kind and strong girl. I'm going to visit her at home... You two have passed the test, and you'll be demon hunters at my Qingtian Hunting Grounds from now on."

"We've already gone to check on it."

……

Then, without stopping, I returned to school.

Library rooftop

Dean Xiao looked at Zhang Chen with some surprise: "You... well done!"

"Dean Xiao, these are the seeds left behind by the Illusionary Flower. Please give them to Dean Fu as a token of our gratitude for his time despite his busy schedule..." Zhang Chen said.

"Alright! I'll hand it over to him. You two can stay on campus! Freshmen are supposed to live on campus this semester, but I only gave you special permission because you two are from Bocheng and you've taken up all the department's resources. Look at the trouble you've caused in just a few days..." Dean Xiao reprimanded sternly.

Zhang Chen and Mo Fan asked hesitantly, "Um, can we refuse?"

"What do you say?! Get back in your dorms and stay there quietly!" Dean Xiao glared at the two of them.

"Okay... alright."

Dean Xiao arranged dormitories for the two of them in just a few minutes.

……

Jinyuan Apartment

"Huh? Zhang Chen, you're awake?" Ai Tutu exclaimed in surprise.

Mu Nujiao looked at Zhang Chen with equal surprise.

The two of them had heard Dean Fu say that his chances of waking up were slim.

"I still have to collect rent from you, how could I not wake up?" Zhang Chen joked.

"What are you doing?" Ai Tutu asked, moving closer to Zhang Chen.

"I suddenly want to stay at school for a couple of days... and come back next semester."

"Hehehe, you guys are obviously too restless, making Dean Xiao..."

"Um, the money for Zhang Chen's magic tools has been transferred to your card..." Mu Nujiao said.

"Okay, I'll come back to you to sell me more magical artifacts when I have them again," Zhang Chen said to Mu Nujiao as he walked, carrying his suitcase.

……

Downstairs in the boys' dormitory

It's around dusk when the area around the dormitory is busiest.

"Holy crap, aren't these two monsters?... "

"Is this the dormitory building I'm going to live in? I want to move to a different building..."

"It's him! It's him! He stole our Pantheon!..."

"Then go for it! Reclaim the Goddess of the Shepherd!..."

"I'll go! Are you guys following?... "

……

Under the watchful eyes of a group of boys, the two of them knocked on the innermost dormitory door.

A boy with a cute face opened the door, and upon seeing Zhang Chen and the other person's faces, he looked terrified and immediately closed the door again.

Helpless, Zhang Chen knocked again. This time, the door opened with the face of a prince straight out of a fairy tale, a head of slightly permed, curly, medium-length hair, and a simple, pure white tracksuit.

He looked slightly surprised: "What's going on here?"

"I suddenly feel like staying at school for a few days," Mo Fan said with a smile.

"Come on in, we happen to have two empty beds in our dorm, but in a few days it might just be the three of us left." Zhao Manyan stepped aside from the doorway, just in time to see the frightened expressions on the faces of the other roommates.

"Brother, what's that guy's name?" Zhang Chen asked, noticing that the man looked like the son of a wealthy landlord.

"Zhao Manyan, Zhang Chen, Mo Fan, I have dinner plans with my senior tonight, so I'm leaving now." Zhao Manyan tossed his long hair with a smug air and left.
