But neither his own memories nor the memories he inherited from the original owner were present.

Zuo Le is also an educated person and knows that smell is a carrier of memory.

The Proust effect.

When a person smells a specific scent, they may suddenly recall a forgotten memory.

Smell can be recorded as images.

When familiar scents collide with time and space once again, they instantly evoke fragments of past memories, like a film reel, flooding the mind with scene after scene.

Its appearance will inject yesterday's freshness into the numb present.

It's like a reminder in my genes to cherish the person in front of me.

The problem that Kezuole is facing now is...

The projector is on, but there is no picture.

Zuo Le wouldn't simply interpret some unexpected situations as illusions, or even as Tu Mi said, as his sexual repression.

There must be a reason for this situation.

However, he doesn't yet know the specific reason.

Tuqi was too proactive, making him uncomfortable with her overly cooperative and subtly in sync.

And the fact that he always managed to find the right spot to please him made Zuo Le feel strange.

Do we know each other?

Tuqi didn't bring up the topic of how they had known each other before.

So, it's also possible that he's overthinking things?

"Because of excessive sexual repression, the ridiculous plot of a domineering saintess falling in love with me came about?"

Zuo Le chuckled at himself and turned on the light.

Sizzle!

Looking at the current, he realized that the light bulb was broken.

Zuo Le picked up the blood-stained beige dress, intending to wash it clean, but the bloodstains had already dried.

"Ugh."

……

The next morning.

When Zuo Le woke up in bed, she didn't really glance at the person next to her.

Hmm, nobody's here.

Wash up, have breakfast, go to class.

When Zuo Le arrived at the psychic studies classroom, he discovered that Shen He, who always arrived on time, was actually a little early today.

"Teacher," Zuo Le greeted him.

"Zuo Le, you're here." Shen He smiled and looked much better.

"Teacher, you look well. It seems your daughter's condition has improved."

"Hehe, I really owe you a lot for this. Yue Sheng's condition has indeed improved a lot, but I may have to trouble you again today."

One has two.

Compared to the initial hesitation and resistance, Shen He's request for help from Zuo Le this time went much more smoothly.

Zuo Le did not think this was a breach of the other party's bottom line.

On the contrary, he felt that for Shen He, this was more like a release from his inner demons.

"No problem, shall we have lunch together?"

"Okay, by the way, how was that book you read after you took it back?"

Having settled his own affairs, Shen He naturally didn't forget to inquire about his disciple's situation.

Although studying forbidden summons is against the rules.

But now Shen He and Zuo Le are practically in the same boat, and Zuo Le's research progress is even related to his daughter's condition.

For various reasons, no matter how rigid Shen He was, he would no longer try to stop Zuo Le.

"The book is very substantial, and I have learned a lot from it," Zuo Le replied truthfully.

"It's good that you've made some progress. After all, you haven't made much progress with me in the past two years. Sometimes I even feel like I've misled you and wasted your talent."

Listening to Shen He's sighs and lamentations, Zuo Le narrowed his eyes without showing any emotion.

Misleading students? Wasting their talent?

Is it really that exaggerated?

Zuo Le smiled and waved his hand:

"All the setbacks and failures in this world are caused by the lack of strength of the person involved. If I cannot successfully perform a spirit summoning, it can only be said that my own ability is insufficient. I cannot blame the teacher."

Zuo Le instinctively took responsibility and acted modestly, but Shen He shook his head:

"That's not true at all. I saw your talent back then, but you became very stubborn later on, and it wasn't until you had that accident last time that you calmed down."

Looking back now, I realize that every time you performed a channeling ritual, there was extra interference from other-dimensional energy.

On the contrary, you seem to have reverted to your old self from when you were in Ya Yuan High School.

Upon hearing Shen He's explanation, Zuo Le noted down a word.

Asia Yuan Affiliated High School.

The original owner's high school, but that memory seems very vague. Did the original owner and Teacher Shen He actually meet at Ya Yuan Affiliated High School?

After a brief pause, Zuo Le smiled:

"Teacher, the light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains, those things are no longer important."

"Perhaps you're right, we should all look forward."

On this refreshing morning, after finishing his psychic studies course, Zuo Le followed Shen He to his dormitory.

They were preparing to fulfill their agreement from that morning.

Void summons...

When Zuo Le arrived here today, upon opening the door, besides the stench of decay, there was also a child wrapped in bandages standing at the door.

Shen Yuesheng.

She was still so small, and she still smelled awful.

But the deathly stillness in her eyes was gone; in its place was the light of hope.

"Zuo Le, brother."

While Zuo Le hesitated, Shen Yuesheng held up a handful of small purple flowers.

They are neither fragrant nor can they be named.

However, Zuo Le still happily accepted the small bouquet of flowers and nodded to Shen Yuesheng:

"Thank you, Shen Yuesheng."

He likes to call people by their full names, especially children, because children need recognition and respect for their personality the most.

Shen He, standing to the side, looked at his disciple and daughter, and felt the same emotions.

The disciple who had gone astray seemed to have returned, and the seriously ill daughter had also shown significant improvement. Everything was getting better.

"Zuo Le, let's have lunch together."

“Okay.” Zuo Le readily agreed.

Zuo Le went to the kitchen to help Shen He wash and chop vegetables, while Shen He cooked and prepared the dishes. During this time, Zuo Le deliberately chatted about the past.

He could sense something was off as they talked.

Many things don't add up.

After the tender moment ended, Zuo Le summoned a monster resembling a void hyena, as promised.

This thing is undoubtedly much bigger than the last one.

"Zuo Le, your Void Summoning seems to have improved a lot."

Upon hearing Shen He's praise, Zuo Le couldn't help but recall the image of that wicked woman.

Yes, if it weren't for her strong insistence, encouragement, and companionship, I wouldn't have been able to master the Void Summoning skill in such a short time.

To be honest, I really should thank her.

"There has been some progress, but there are still many areas that need improvement, and I would like to ask the teacher for advice."

"Yes, please speak freely."

The two chatted for a long time in the dormitory. After being freed from the constraints of the precepts, the discussion between master and disciple on taboos became much more unrestrained.

Many forbidden summoning theories that are absolutely forbidden to be mentioned under normal rules were brought up by Shen He and discussed with Zuo Le.

And this is exactly what Zuo Le needs.

Time flew by, and dusk was approaching. Zuo Le politely took his leave.

"Teacher, I have something to do, so I won't stay any longer."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing, wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"A new college rule will be announced next month, requiring all students in their second year or above to complete at least two internships each semester. You should keep that in mind."

"An internship assignment? Thank you for reminding me, teacher."

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

Zuo Le did not linger at Shen He's place because she was not interested in the inevitable gnawing that was about to occur.

Moreover, Zuo Le does indeed have a lot to do.

For example, examining and reflecting.

He told Shen He that the past was no longer important, but that was a lie; he didn't really believe it.

The future is indeed more important than the past.

However, without examining one's past and reflecting on oneself, it is impossible to move well toward the future.

Chapter 82: A non-existent past exists.

As for why we need to engage in this kind of self-examination and reflection?

There are many reasons and justifications...

Moreover, it represents all his encounters, accumulations, and insights during this period.

From the very beginning, when the summoning and transmigration took over the original owner's memories, many things were already subtly amiss.

For example, the relationship with her younger sister.

The arguments, confrontations, and curses, along with the sister's cold treatment, were absolutely genuine. The original owner's memory of Zuo Jingyu was far too clear and unmistakable.

He was already at the age where he could see right through a young girl's thoughts.

A young girl's thoughts go beyond just liking or loving someone.

There is also anger and resentment.

In the original owner's memories, Zuo Jingyu, filled with clear anger and resentment, called him 'Zuo Le,' and this has never changed.

But this clear anger and hatred becomes increasingly blurred the further back you go.

All that's left is the concept of 'my sister and I didn't get along when we were little'.

I don't remember the specifics of why the relationship was bad.
