Chapter 228 Ma Xianhong's Choice

After Chi Yao finished his work, he immediately entered into meditation and quickly recovered his state.

With this practical experience of soul operation, Chi Yao gained a lot.

First of all, his understanding of the soul was deepened, and his operation experience was put into practice.

Secondly, in Chi Yao's memory palace, he was standing in front of an empty bookshelf, holding a book with a red and blue palm cover in his hand. This was the copy of Qu Tong's memory that Chi Yao retained in soul operation.

Thanks to the skill of the bookkeeper of hidden knowledge, Chi Yao's spiritual space has been developed by Chi Yao into a memory palace shaped like a library. He compiled Qu Tong's memory into a book and stored it here, which means that even if Chi Yao does not wear a mask, he can use the information in this part of the memory at any time.

The memory palace also provides assistance for Chi Yao's spellcasting ability. Chi Yao can construct the learned spells into a memory book and store it in the memory palace. When the battle comes, he can use it at any time, cast spells quickly, and save the time required for spell construction.

Ma Xianhong woke up, opened the hatch of the self-cultivation furnace and walked out, covering his forehead with one hand, his eyes blurred, obviously immersed in the restored memory.

"Well, my head hurts so much"

Chi Yao noticed Ma Xianhong's awakening, stood up and greeted him.

"Old Ma, are you awake? Do you still remember me?"

Ma Xianhong shook his head, trying to make himself more awake, opened his eyes and looked at Chi Yao, recognizing him.

"It's you. Hui Yao, yes, I remember, you helped me restore my memory?"

Chi Yao nodded and admitted.

"That's right, you just recovered, sort out your thoughts first, don't rush to act."

Ma Xianhong felt that what Chi Yao said made sense. He had just undergone a "repair operation" and really couldn't rush, so he sat cross-legged, entered into a state of concentration, and sorted out and summarized the chaotic memories in his mind one by one.

An hour later, Ma Xianhong opened his eyes, looked at Chi Yao with a complicated expression, and asked.

"I saw what you put in my memory. Qu Tong controlled me. You helped me kill Qu Tong. Although I don't know how you did it, you also helped me remove the memory control."

"But, in front of this eight strange skills that can change the soul and rewrite the memory, can I still trust my memory?"

During the soul operation process, Chi Yao directly engraved the things that needed to be told in his memory and handed them to Ma Xianhong, and he could understand the other party's concerns.

After all, Ma Xianhong took the initiative to give Chi Yao a lot of good things, and he would not control his friend's memory for no reason.

Chi Yao began to explain.

"You don't have to worry about this. The soul is not as simple as you think. If you want to achieve memory control, there will definitely be disadvantages."

"The simplest feature is the continuity of memory. You can think back to whether your current memory is complete, coherent, and real enough."

"It is almost impossible to artificially implant "real" and "coherent" memories. Not to mention the details in various memories, everyone has different ideas and different perspectives on memories. The implanted memory may not be able to run according to the original structure."

"If I want to control you, why should I restore your memory for you? I just need to add my own needs to Qu Tong's modification."

"Besides, Lao Ma, I treat you as a friend. Do you distrust friends so much?"

Ma Xianhong reviewed all his memories again and smiled bitterly.

"Sorry, Lao Yao, you are right. I am just a little too sensitive to this kind of thing. I apologize for doubting your behavior just now. Sorry!"

Chi Yao walked up, pulled Ma Xianhong up, and said while looking at the self-cultivation furnace not far away.

"Your suspicion is only human nature, I understand."

"Now your memory has been restored, and you know the current situation. Zhang Chulan and the others were arranged by the company. This self-cultivation furnace cannot be kept. This is the company's bottom line."

Ma Xianhong looked at the self-cultivation furnace in front of him, and his tone was a little regretful.

"I understand that whether it is the harm of the self-cultivation furnace to society or Qu Tong's emphasis on the self-cultivation furnace, it shows that it must be destroyed. It's just a pity for such a rare object."

Chi Yao was quite satisfied with Ma Xianhong's choice and continued.

"And the second key point is you and the top talents in Biyou Village. According to the company's policy, they will not kill you, but they will monitor you for a long time and can only return to society after review."

"But I have to go to Nasen Island later and need your help. So, I can now provide you with another option, "fake death" in front of the company, and I can help you change your appearance later."

Ma Xianhong was silent for a while, then sighed.

"You saved me, so I will naturally repay your kindness. Since you need my help, let's follow your plan."

"However, I must personally confirm the follow-up situation of the villagers afterwards. If the company treats them unfairly, I must help them escape from the company's control!"

Chi Yao took out the devouring capsule and the bewitching Gu prepared by Chen Duo, and said.

"Then I'll have to ask you to lie down for a while."

Ma Xianhong took off several protective magic tools and handed them to Chi Yao, then absorbed some bewitching Gu, completely lost consciousness, and fell to the ground in a coma.

Chi Yao took out the deputy head of the Banquan Mask, created an incarnation, and then stuffed the temporary Ma Xianhong mask mirrored by the Wanxiang Face into the body of the incarnation, turning it into the 'real' Ma Xianhong himself.

Finally, he handed several of the magic weapons that Ma Xianhong removed to the avatar, and put it into a fighting posture.

Next it’s time to direct and act.

"boom!!!!"

A loud noise came from the Xiu Shen Hall, and the roof of the Xiu Shen Hall was blown away. A figure surrounded by strong winds rushed out of the hole in the roof.

And right behind him was "Ma Xianhong" who was protected by a magic weapon and dressed in pitch black armor, he yelled angrily.

"Huiyao, you betrayed my trust!! Give me back the stove!!"

Zhang Chulan and others who were guarding outside the Self-cultivation Hall immediately looked inside the room and saw that the originally intact Self-cultivation Furnace had been squeezed and deformed, and a little lightning shone on the damaged shell. It had obviously been completely destroyed by electricity.

Among them, Xiao Zizai immediately rushed forward, his eyes filled with suppressed blood, and aimed a merciful palm at Ma Xianhong and slapped him directly.

"Snapped--"

"Ma Xianhong" was knocked back by this palm force, but protected by the magic weapon, he was not injured at all. Instead, he said angrily.

"Damn it! You are indeed in the same group! Then don't blame me!"

As he said this, "Ma Xianhong" took out several strange-shaped magical weapons and launched an attack on Xiao Zizai.

These magic weapon attacks were stopped midway by Black Guan and Feng Baobao. For a while, several people started a big melee.

The incarnation can temporarily avoid falling behind with the help of Ma Xianhong's special magic weapon, but as time goes by, flaws will inevitably be exposed.

Chi Yao immediately walked aside, casting spells to prepare for his ultimate move while observing the battle.

Zhang Chulan, who was astute on the side, knew that the temporary workers' battle situation was not something that his three-legged cat kung fu could interfere with, so he walked to Chi Yao's side and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Yao, failed? Why did we still break up?"

Chi Yao nodded and said.

"It can only be said that it was half a failure. It has not fully recovered. The old horse is too stubborn. There is no other way. I can only forcefully break the furnace."

Seeing that Chi Yao spoke so lightly, Zhang Chulan asked helplessly.

"Now what?"

Chi Yao said with a smile.

"Then just act according to the original plan. Wasn't your original plan also to break into Biyou Village and capture Ma Xianhong and others?"

Looking at Chi Yao's smile, Zhang Chulan felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell the specific reason, so he had to say.

"Okay, Brother Yao, come on, I'll help the others."

The original plan was for Xiao Zizai, Black Guan, Feng Baobao and Chi Yao to deal with Ma Xianhong, while the rest would deal with other Shanggenqi and other villagers.

When Zhang Chulan was about to leave, Chi Yao chose to stop him and said.

"Stay here and help me protect the law. I will prepare for a while and deal with Ma Xianhong directly."

"With Chen Duo's poison, it's quite easy to deal with those transformed weaklings and strangers. Lao Meng and the others don't need your help, just help me be on guard."

Chi Yao naturally didn't need Zhang Chulan to guard him, but he just thought that there were other contractors in the village. In order to prevent accidents, he simply found an excuse to keep Zhang Chulan with him.

"Brother Yao, you said so, then I'll listen to you." Zhang Chulan rolled his eyes and stood beside Chi Yao with a smile, looking around cautiously, as if he was guarding against hidden enemies.

One update.
