A fierce flash of light passed, and Wu Suowei vanished.
Duan Chen stared blankly at the empty space before him, and the card that had stopped shimmering.
Where was Wu Suowei?
Not even a trace.
He refused to believe it and poured his spiritual energy into the card again.
This time, the card didn't even react.
"Holy crap!"
Duan Chen regained his senses, disbelievingly.
"Was I just tricked?"
He suddenly realized this incredibly serious possibility. He recalled Wu Suowei's expression when he handed him the card, the smile on his face, so eerie and inscrutable, hinting at mischief.
A wave of anger surged within Duan Chen.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn you, Wu Suowei, don't let me catch you, you old bastard."
He dared to play him?
"Catch me, and then what?"
Just then, a slow, drawn-out voice came from behind Duan Chen, casual in tone, with a hint of mockery and a lot of amusement.
Duan Chen immediately turned around, a smile on his face.
"Of course, I'll serve you and earn a hundred glorious stars."
Wu Suowei glanced at Duan Chen indifferently, not bothered by his earlier words. He couldn't help but frown.
"What's the matter that you called me over?"
When Duan Chen got to business, his expression turned extremely serious, and he explained what had happened here in a few words.
He told everything, but as Wu Suowei listened to the explanation, he immediately frowned, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter, his words laced with disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
Duan Chen curled his lip.
"Whether what I said is true or false, you can investigate it yourself."
He extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation.
Wu Suowei did not disappoint him. He took two steps forward, closed his eyes, and his vast divine sense instantly spread out, covering the entire university town.
A moment later, Wu Suowei withdrew his divine sense, his face showing anger for the first time.
Duan Chen almost thought he was mistaken, but upon closer inspection, he returned to his usual calm demeanor.
Wu Suowei patted his pant legs, though they were not dusty.
"I understand. Leave this matter to me."
"Let's be clear, you've already used the opportunity I gave you once."
Duan Chen nodded.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Wu Suowei turn around and face him.
His eyes emitted a meaning Duan Chen couldn't quite decipher. Their color had changed, not their normal hue, but emanating a faint silver light.
Duan Chen was far too familiar with this scene.
He instinctively wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't, frozen as if turned to stone.
Duan Chen inwardly thought, "This is bad." He had always considered himself a master of eye techniques, never expecting to stumble so badly in this regard!
But, according to his True Eye, the person before him was indeed Wu Suowei, without a doubt.
Wu Suowei took two steps forward, his eyes meeting Duan Chen's.
He spoke, "Don't doubt your own eyes. I am indeed Wu Suowei, no mistake."
"It's just that there are some things happening here that you shouldn't be privy to yet, so I need to use some means to make you forget. Your memory will naturally be unlocked at the appropriate time."
This feeling was so familiar.
Duan Chen was incredulous. Recovering himself, he looked at Wu Suowei, "Wait, why are you so skilled? How many times have you done this to me?"
Wu Suowei seemed to think that Duan Chen was completely immobilized and no longer a threat. He stroked his chin, his attitude somewhat nonchalant as he replied, "The second time."
"The second time? Then what was the first time?" Duan Chen had a vague premonition.
This premonition seemed too fantastical for him to believe, yet there was no other plausible explanation.
Wu Suowei chuckled.
"Don't you already have an idea?"
"Why?"
After the extreme anger, Duan Chen suddenly calmed down, his eyes fixed on Wu Suowei.
He questioned coldly.
"Why did you seal my memories? What happened before I was 12? Who are my parents? Who are you? Are you truly a god? If you are a god, why did you notice me at 12? What is your purpose?"
Wu Suowei shook his head, saying with a hint of helplessness, "That's why I sealed your memories, you have too many questions."
"But considering you're about to lose your memory again, I can answer some of your questions."
"I was the one who sealed your memories, but your parents have nothing to do with me. I am Wu Suowei, and I am indeed a god. I haven't lied to you about that. As for why I noticed you at 12, you should ask yourself."
Ask myself?
Duan Chen couldn't understand what Wu Suowei was trying to convey.
He tried his best to get to the final point: "Is there no better way? Do you have to seal my memories?"
Wu Suowei's response was to conjure a ball of colored light in his hand, which slowly approached Duan Chen.
He casually said, "If there were a better way, I wouldn't be doing this."
"The game is not over yet. There are things you shouldn't know about now. Don't worry, I'll handle everything that's happening here, and no one here will be harmed."
"Duan Chen, remember, I will not harm you."
Duan Chen gave Wu Suowei a deep look and fell into a deep, dark slumber.
Wang Zihao and the others beside him had already fainted when Wu Suowei immobilized Duan Chen.
Wu Suowei personally covered Duan Chen's mind with the ball of silver light.
He squatted on the ground, looking at Duan Chen, who had fallen and appeared unconscious for a long time.
In reality, this ball of silver light was merely a sleeping spell.
A look of determination flashed in his eyes.
