Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Held in a warm embrace, the skirmisher's pupils constricted, and the surrounding lightning storm suddenly ceased.

Jiang Bai gently patted his back, trying to soothe him, but his back was covered in tubes, leaving him nowhere to put his hands.

"I'm sorry that this statement is 500 years late."

The stragglers remained silent, their eyes slightly lowered.

500 years ago, Jiangbai did not exist.

He shouldn't be the one to say that apology.

"Would you like to hear the story of Ray's films over the past 500 years?"

The stragglers remained silent, which Jiang Bai took as a tacit agreement.

"Five hundred years ago, during the Calamity of Canria, Raiden lost his sister, the first Inazuma Raiden, Raiden Shin."

During the five hundred years of calamities, her relatives and friends died one after another, which dealt a severe blow and wore her down. Even the eternity in her heart began to be completely opposite to that of her sister.

She hastily took over the entire country, but as a warrior, she had no experience in managing a nation.

The entire Inazuma region had just experienced a disaster, and everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt.

She created the first doll, but she discovered that the doll possessed human emotions.

However, only an emotionless tool can carry out her will and truly protect Inazuma.

He did not destroy the doll, and gave it the right to live.

Afterwards, he used his own body to create a general devoid of emotion, whose sole purpose was "eternity."

From then on, she isolated herself.

She imprisoned herself for five hundred years, endlessly immersing herself in the sorrow of loss, trying to freeze time so that she would never lose again…

The stragglers were a little unsure what to say.

This is so different from what he knew.

He felt that he had been abandoned.

However, that's not the case.

His creator originally intended to destroy him, but ultimately chose to give him the right to live.

During the Ta-ba-sha incident, he went to see her in an attempt to get help, but after waiting for a long time, he still couldn't see her.

He thought at the time that she didn't care about him and had already forgotten him.

In reality, she had simply shut herself off, and the puppet general was unaware of his existence.

Although this is no different from ignoring everything, she has given him the golden feather as a symbol of his status and protection, and the bamboo tube that can shelter him from the wind and rain.

From a rational point of view, she has done enough.

As for what happened afterward, it was indeed none of her business.

"You've regained all your memories?"

The stragglers seemed to have regained their composure and their emotions had stabilized.

"Ah."

Seeing that he was feeling a bit better, Jiang Bai let go of him.

The stragglers kept their heads down, like silent puppets.

"You should leave first. I want to be alone."

Before Jiang Bai could respond, he waved his hand and sent Jiang Bai out of this space.

The space was eerily silent; the stragglers huddled together, burying their heads in their knees.

Tears slowly flowed from it.

Why? Why couldn't I have told him these things sooner...?

He's resented and hated for so long.

Even the desire to become a god is often largely driven by the desire to prove oneself.

To prove that I am no less than a general, and to prove that I have value.

He took out the golden feather that he had never discarded, yet had almost never taken out again.

Five hundred years have passed, and this golden feather, crafted from gold, still retains its beautiful color, showing no signs of fading with time.

Tears slid down, landing on the golden feathers like pure water droplets, gently washing away the dust and grime.

"Hmph, irresponsible god, don't think I'll forgive you just because of this..."

His voice was hoarse, but he gripped the golden feather tightly in his hand.

Chapter 722 Help!

The soldiers' emotional turmoil caused considerable disruption, and laboratory personnel are rapidly en route to the lab.

Caught off guard, Jiang Bai took off from the spot and flew back to the location of the ventilation duct.

The hole that was originally cut can't be repaired, but now is not the time to focus on those details. Let's go first.

Jiang Bai quickly slipped out through the ventilation duct, pretending to casually stroll around the basement, while his mind was on the matter of the stragglers.

The reason why Sanbing has become the way he is now is not mainly because of Lei's movie. There must have been many other things that affected him in between.

However, his deepest obsession was probably gaining his "mother's" approval.

His words today should be seen as a form of tacit approval from the soldiers.

Lei's film acknowledges his existence as a human being, even though he was a soldier.

In this way, he should no longer have that strong feeling of self-loathing and self-abandonment.

But he still lacked the motivation to live.

We need to find a way to motivate him.

……

In the Great Sage's office.

Hazard looked at the intelligence about Jiang Bai brought to him by his men and remained silent.

This information has been collected for some time. After all, Jiang Bai is not a Sumeru person, and it takes time and effort to obtain intelligence from other countries.

Jiang Bai, a soul collector at the Liyue Hall of Rebirth, specializes in collecting corpses.

He once single-handedly challenged the last son of the Fools' Enforcers and withstood a single strike from General Wuxiang of Thunder...

He originally thought Jiang Bai was just an ordinary adventurer.

The other party's resume turned out to be far too impressive.

With that kind of capability, keeping it in an underground laboratory would be like having a ticking time bomb.

And who knows how much of the other person's memory has actually returned?

Aside from stragglers, no one can control him.

The key issue is that he has a close relationship with the scattered soldiers, and there's no way to get them to capture him.

We can't just leave him alone; who knows what he might do if he's too idle?

Hazard has a headache right now, a really bad headache.

He even suspected that the person who had fought with the doctor in the suburbs a few days ago was him.

Although it's unclear why General Lei Dian delivered that unexpected blow, Jiang Bai, who had contact with General Lei Dian and even faced that blow directly, is undoubtedly the most suspicious person.

As for the other blond traveler.

He was quite certain that the other person was in a dream world at that moment.

He personally confirmed this after the other party entered the dream.

After all, he is someone who will be at the center of the storm no matter which country he goes to, and he is a person who is closely watched.

Jiang Bai already knew their plan, and it was impossible for them to release them.

The stragglers have only stepped halfway into the realm of the gods; the knowledge of the gods is the most crucial and important thing.

This involves things left behind by the Great Tree King, and methods to heal the World Tree.

The plan to create a god cannot be revealed until the knowledge of the gods is fully infused into the body of the true god.

As for handing Jiang Bai over to the doctor?

This is indeed one approach.

But how should it be submitted?

Can Jiang Bai really be allowed to be controlled by them?

Should we let the PhD student find it himself?

Can the underground laboratory withstand the impact of their battle?

Moreover, such a powerful person, even if they lose their memory, could not possibly become an idiot.

Moreover, his memory is recovering.

The only option left is to try administering medication.

First, knock him unconscious, then quietly hand him over to the doctor.

In this way, the doctor obtained the suspect he wanted.

They defused a time bomb.

As for the stragglers, he wouldn't know any of this.

Although the methods used were somewhat underhanded, those who achieve great things never concern themselves with the methods employed.

Before Jiang Bai became wary of them, they quickly knocked him down.

Jiang Bai was unaware that danger was imminent for the Order of the Church.

Most of the food he ate every day was delivered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were to tamper with the food, there would be no way to prevent it.

Just as Jiang Bai was pondering how to give the stragglers some motivation to survive, Ghulam brought over dinner as usual.

He was in charge of Jiang Bai's daily life. Sometimes he would take Jiang Bai to the lab's cafeteria to eat, and sometimes he would bring food over, but most of the time he would bring food over.

"Are you hungry? The food today tastes really good."

Today's meal was not much different from usual: a bowl of mixed rice, a glass of fruit wine, a bowl of thick soup, and a dessert.

Everything inside has been spiked with ingredients, ensuring that Jiang Bai will get hooked no matter what he eats.

Gulam left as before, without any apparent change in behavior.

To be honest, although Jiang Bai was somewhat wary of the Order of the Church, the Order of the Church had not taken any measures against him for so long, and even their tests were very perfunctory. In addition, their recent operations had been going very smoothly, so he never expected that the Order of the Church would drug him so directly.

That's how you get infected—so suddenly and unexpectedly.

I must say, although the methods were a bit underhanded, they were indeed very effective.

After all, Jiang Bai has been eating at the coaching academy for so long, it's impossible for him to suddenly stop eating there, unless he sensed something in advance.

However, it was impossible to foresee it in advance. The Great Sage made his decision very decisively and quickly, and made up his mind the moment he received the information.

Without Jiang Bai's support or anyone to provide him with information, and with Gu Dong not around, he only had time to send the word "help" to Kong when the drug took effect and he realized something was wrong.

While resting after a long day of travel, she was caught off guard and received a distress message from Jiang Bai.

The information was so brief that it completely surprised him.

What exactly happened that left Jiang Bai with only one sentence: "Help!"

Even if he encountered a PhD, he should be able to hold his own for a few rounds, right?

Or was he ambushed by something?

He's almost at Zen Garden now, and even if he finds the nearest anchor point to return to Sumeru City, it will be another hour.

He still needs to find Jiang Bai, and might even have to break into the Imperial Academy. By the time he finds Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai's body might already be cold.
