I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Hearing this, Ma En also frowned slightly. As Cao Yan said, this matter was indeed a bit strange. However, everything about the Unforgettable was full of weirdness, and such things involving the mind were extremely difficult to judge and perceive with simple rationality and logic.

"Perhaps these memories are buried deep in your mind?" Ma En guessed.

Cao Yan shook her head:

"No, the memory dissipation during my reincarnation is theoretically permanent. Although I can theoretically repair this influence through the immortal curse on my body, it's not because my memories are still in my brain, but because the immortal curse can change things that are already destined.

"And if we temporarily ignore this situation that won't come for a long time, we can regard this memory fading as an almost irreversible permanent damage, so theoretically I can't possibly see any memories erased due to continuous reincarnation.

"Of course, I do have the kind of forgotten memories you mentioned. Not everything I forget is due to continuous reincarnation. There is also true simple memory aging, but if that's the case, there's also a problem.

"Because if that's the case, it's impossible for me to have no impression of this place. Every face that appears here doesn't exist in my memory, and I haven't heard of the things they're discussing.

"But they all act like they know me. This must be one of my reincarnations, but I clearly remember that I wasn't active in the court after my first death. I should be enjoying life right now."

Before Ma En could react, Ning Changkong, who was standing next to him, interjected:

"Do you mean that we are currently in a dream cast by your memories, and I am not real either? You saying that really makes me realize that something is wrong. It seems like I don't have clear memories of the past."

Seeing this scene, Cao Yan said with a slightly smug expression:

"Don't be surprised. It's not a special thing in the dream of the King of the Undead. If the scholars of Gurama really encountered a similar situation, they would definitely realize this. However, they are still a collection of our memories and flowing consciousness, not truly living beings with souls."

Ma En didn't express anything about this, but continued to ask:

"So how are you going to complete your original goal now?"

Cao Yan raised her hand and waved:

"You don't have to worry about this. These days, I have been fighting wits and courage with that faceless guy, and have found some clues that can be used to leave the sanatorium. It's just a matter of time for me.

"I am the King of Magic, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

Ning Changkong, who was listening to them, said thoughtfully:

"I have somewhat understood what you are talking about. You seem to be dealing with something that exists in memories or the mind. If that's the case, I think maybe someone would want to see you."

Cao Yan looked at her with some doubt:

"You are not real, you should know that, right?"

He was a little suspicious at the moment whether it was because this dream also had Ma En's participation that caused this created member of the Imperial Council to become a little stupid, otherwise how could she say such a thing.

But Ning Changkong smiled:

"Reincarnator, of course I know the current situation. I am just an echo of your memories. All the members of the Rama Empire here are also just your past memories. We shouldn't be able to have any influence on you.

"But I still firmly believe that even in this situation, he is still different from us.

"The one I'm talking about is the current ruler of the Rama Empire, the greatest emperor in history - His Majesty Shude."

Hearing the words "the greatest emperor", Cao Yan raised his eyebrows, with a few more points of doubt and unwillingness in his expression:

"Who?"

Ning Changkong said with a smile:

"Look, this is the evidence. You don't remember him, but I can still remember him. It's not because I am closer to your souls than the two of you. I remember his name has nothing to do with you.

"I will remember it all because of the extraordinary nature of His Majesty Shude himself."

The title of the greatest emperor made Cao Yan reveal a dissatisfied expression, and Ma En also realized for the first time that this King of the Undead still cared about things other than his dead lover, and it was still such "vanity".

Cao Yan's tone was full of suspicion as he said:

"I thought the greatest emperor was the Founder himself."

The Seer shrugged:

"That was indeed the case before His Majesty Shude was born. Since you don't believe it, Reincarnator, why not personally look up to His Majesty's glory? I think you will definitely be obedient then."

Although he knew she was using reverse psychology, Cao Yan still agreed without thinking:

"Then take me to see him."

Hearing this, Ning Changkong stretched out her hands and grabbed Ma En and Cao Yan respectively. Then, the blue light flowed around them again, reshaping the dark night sky into a golden palace.

And in front of them was a thin back that was hard to associate with "the greatest emperor".

"Ma En and Cao Yan." The young man who looked very young said with his back to them, "I have been waiting for you for several years."

While he was speaking, Ma En was also observing the surrounding scenery. Ning Changkong had just disappeared, as if her mission was to bring the two of them here, and then it was none of her business.

Cao Yan said to Shude in a provocative tone:

"You are just a collection of our memory fragments, you should know that, right? And I don't remember the existence of any greatest emperor at all. If there really was someone like you, it would be impossible for me to forget.

"Honestly, I think you originated from some kind of dissatisfaction with my own status."

Cao Yan even suspected that this inexplicable King of the Undead was very likely related to some of Ma En's inner views on Shenxiao, but he didn't say this possibility out loud.

But the young man just said with a smile:

"Of course, what you said makes a lot of sense, but your reasoning is useless to me."

As he said this, he also slowly turned around, and when he saw his face, Ma En instantly understood why he had just turned his back to them, because this Gurama emperor only had half a face.

The left half of Shude's face was as if it had been erased by a rubber eraser, and this also made Ma En immediately think of the faceless person he had just seen, but it seemed that this did not affect his communication ability at all.

Seeing this scene, Cao Yan immediately perked up, looking like he wanted to say something.

"You think I am the incarnation of the influence of the Unforgettable you are tracking in Ma En's brain." But Shude said her thoughts before Cao Yan could open his mouth, "But unfortunately your judgment is not accurate."

Cao Yan glanced at him unhappily, then turned to look at Ma En:

"Is this arrogant bastard running out of somewhere in your memory?"

Shude showed a smile, and at the same time, he raised his fingers and began to gesticulate in the air. Purple magic began to slowly form an extremely complex and exquisite magic circle in front of him:

"Maybe you will be interested in this."

Looking at this magic circle, Cao Yan's face really changed drastically, because he could understand the meaning of it.

Shude turned his head to look at Ma En:

"The power that was called 'secret' by that Moon God in your era is not a taboo power at all for the most prosperous Gurama civilization, so I can actually erase or even modify other people's memories.

"Do you remember the little trick that Shenxiao played on you? Although I am not a professional prophet, similar things are not difficult for me. Of course, the principle of my trick is not exactly the same as hers.

"The reason why you came here is also very simple, because Cao Yan actually never forgot this memory, I just made him ignore it, which is why he thought no one remembered it."

While Shude was speaking, the left half of his face that had been erased was gradually recovering, and his raised left hand also drew a faceless mask out of thin air and handed it to Cao Yan, who was already lost in his eyes.

"This is what you are looking for." Shude said with a gentle smile on his face.

Cao Yan stared intently at the magic circle floating in front of him, and murmured in disbelief:

"You solved it? Impossible! No one can complete it, how could it be right in front of me..."

Hearing this, Ma En also looked at the floating magic circle out of curiosity, but he couldn't see anything particularly wonderful at all, and he couldn't understand the reason for Cao Yan's surprise at all.

Shude seemed to be able to hear Ma En's inner voice and said to him:

"The thing in front of me is the answer to a magic world problem. It has troubled countless great magic scholars, including Cao Yan, who wanted to complete this magic circle. Although it has no practical function in itself, completing it can make up for several loopholes in our understanding of magic, and that is the evidence I gave him."

Speaking of this, Shude looked at Cao Yan:

"After seeing it, you should also be able to think about what developments can be made in the magical field of the Gurama Empire, and this thing is definitely not something you can come up with, which should prove that I am more than just your memory, right?"

In fact, Ma En was more receptive to the current situation. When this Gurama emperor was speaking, he had somewhat believed that this guy was indeed more than just a memory. After all, Shenxiao had also demonstrated similar abilities.

However, when Shenxiao showed power in Hong Yuan's memory, it was because Hong Yuan's body itself had Shenxiao's reality-twisting power. At that time, she borrowed those powers that originally belonged to her.

But Ma En didn't know whether Shude had left power in Cao Yan's body, or whether he could travel through distant eras to have a conversation with them. This was an ability he possessed in the past.

"The answer is the latter. Shenxiao is a very talented person." Shude answered Ma En's thoughts, "But she is still very young, even more immature than the King of the Undead, but her future is quite something I look forward to."

At this time, Ma En also realized something very important:

"You are here to wait for us on purpose?"

Shude showed a smile:

"It seems you thought of it."

Sure enough, Ma En knew that the past Shude had intercepted them. Without his influence, he and Cao Yan would probably be capturing the Unforgettable in the Viktor Sanatorium now.

Ma En could think of this because of his past contact with Shenxiao. At that time, Shenxiao was also deliberately there to intercept Hong Yuan, who wanted to return to the past, and transformed his power.

Cao Yan also forced himself to look away and looked at Shude again:

"So you tampered with my memory? What exactly is your purpose?"

"We both tampered with your memory together, as for what I want to do is very simple..." Speaking of this, the blurring signs reappeared on Shude's left face, "I want to stop you from delving into this memory."

Seeing this scene, Ma En took half a step back warily:

"What do you mean?"

Shude, who only had half a face left, continued:

"If I didn't intervene, you and Cao Yan would have found this place sooner or later by following the memory, so I came here in advance to prepare to 'join forces' with the Unforgettable's influence on you to prevent you from moving towards here."

Ma En asked in confusion:

"But why is that?"

Shude looked at Cao Yan, who also had a confused expression:

"Because I am the strongest Gurama emperor, and also the last Gurama emperor, this is my responsibility.

"Cao Yan, I said that this memory of yours was erased by me, but I didn't tell you that all the memory problems on your body today are also caused by me, or rather, the influence of the Midpoint Project that I am coordinating."

Ma En asked:

"What is the Midpoint Project? Is the destruction of the Unforgettable and the Gurama Empire related?"

Shude replied with a smile:

"Of course there is, but the situation may be different from what you think, and the so-called Midpoint Project refers to the arrangement for the history of intelligent civilization to usher in the 'midpoint' at this moment, but I will not let you know the details either.

"Even if I tell you, you must forget it after you leave."

Cao Yan's expression became more serious than ever before. He seemed to have noticed something:

"What exactly are you talking about? Do you know the reason for the destruction of Gurama?"

Shude didn't hide it and directly answered his question:

"I know, I took the lead in destroying the Gurama Empire."

These words made Cao Yan's face change instantly, and Ma En also felt a strong incomprehension.

"You destroyed the Gurama civilization?" Cao Yan asked, suppressing his anger.

Shude nodded slightly:

"That's right, to be precise, it was the future me, the Imperial Council, and many helpers including you who jointly destroyed the former Gurama Empire, Undead, you voluntarily gave up your memory."

Hearing this, Cao Yan suddenly froze, as if he hadn't accepted the facts he had said.

Shude looked at Ma En again:

"And the Unforgettable you encountered is very likely also a product of this plan. Although I can't form an effective understanding of his current state, it was originally part of the Midpoint Project.

"We have many scholars who have enough research on secrets. In the near future, we will create one or more powerful secret entities to erase the traces of our existence after the destruction of the empire."

Hearing this, Cao Yan finally understood what he was talking about:

"The Midpoint Project is a giant magic used for mutual destruction?"

Shude showed a gratified smile:

"That's right, we are executing a plan that will simultaneously destroy us and them."

Cao Yan said in disbelief:

"How is that possible? What could force us to do this? If what you're saying is true, who could possibly push you to this extent? Is there no one in all of Gurama who can fight them?

"What exactly are the enemies you speak of? Mind entities capable of infection? But if that's the case, you could directly target the minds, and you could certainly preserve the uninfected…"

"Shhh." Shude raised a finger to interrupt, "No, not mind-infecting entities, but something infinitely more complex and dangerous. You could never imagine what they are like through mere speculation, but I will never tell you what these things are."

"Because this is also part of the Midpoint Plan. The traces of their existence must be completely erased. No living being is allowed to remember them again. And that's why the Gurama Empire cannot be remembered either. We can't even leave anything behind."

"I even deliberately created misunderstandings when I mentioned the existence of such things, so that you couldn't approach their true nature. At this moment, the entire Gurama Empire is slowly and willingly heading towards destruction."

"And the sacrifice of my people must be worthwhile. I will not allow them to return."

Ma En, who was beside him, was also very surprised. Listening to Shude's words, it seemed that they were destroying the prosperous civilization of the Gurama Empire with their own hands in order to stop something, and they couldn't even know what that thing was.

"So you're here to stop us from awakening that thing?" Ma En asked, looking at him.

Shude nodded:

"That's right, you understand very well. There is something capable of causing a certain result, prompting the citizens of the Gurama Empire to jointly decide to erase our existence and the traces of our existence in order to prevent that result from happening."

"That's all I can tell you."

Hearing this, Cao Yan completely understood, but he was a little unwilling:

"But is this our only choice? There must be a better way. Not only will you and my people all die, but our civilization and knowledge will be lost. No one will even remember that we once stood on this land, and no one will be able to inherit our culture."

"Could anything be worse than now?"

Shude comforted him with a gentle expression:

"Of course, and although most of the detailed memories of us are lost, aren't you still alive? There are still some misleading objects and information that we can leave behind, and you can also see the dead me."

"Cao Yan, we are the Lama people, this is our responsibility, and believe me, there is no better choice than what we are doing now. All the Lama people with conscience agree to this plan."

"Back then, you, who knew the inside story, were also very determined to carry out this plan, but unfortunately, you couldn't know any details, so you may never truly understand the reason."

"But at least, you can try to believe me."

"A Gurama ruler who abandoned his eternal life and god-like power."

Cao Yan looked at him in disbelief:

"But even so, you won't be able to survive in front of them."

The young man smiled:

"Of course I can escape alone, but do you think I would abandon my people?"

Then Shude said with an unquestionable determination:

"Okay, I still have to continue to advance the Midpoint Plan, and for you, this is all over, so if you have no objections, I will use its power to distort your memories."

"If they return, I'm afraid the rulers of the mortal world today will not have the courage or ability to complete what we once did. Your era cannot defeat them."

"Do you have any objections?"

Ma En and Cao Yan looked at each other and said nothing.

Shude nodded:

"Although I am very sorry to Ma En and you, I cannot let you delve into the secrets of the Unremembered Ones. I cannot let them descend beside you again, so you must forget…"

"We must be forgotten."
