While Lin Ruo was silent, Medici's gaze remained fixed on him. He suddenly said, "That look in your eyes… it makes me feel like you're looking at a stranger."
Lin Ruo: … …
Alright, I've been seen through!
Lin Ruo wasn't too surprised by this, after all, Medici, as a former King of Angels of the Hunter pathway, wasn't easy to fool. And just now, he was too surprised, and his emotions weren't concealed very well.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that the other party was trying to trick him.
However, even after considering this possibility, Lin Ruo thought for a moment and then said generously, "I really don't remember you. More accurately, I've lost my past memories. Perhaps you can tell me, who am I?"
Medici seemed stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing, a hearty laugh that disregarded his image, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"Hahahaha! You've lost your memory! You've actually lost your memory, this is too funny!"
Medici laughed for a long time. After laughing, he slightly raised his chin and said in a rather arrogant manner, "Want me to tell you about the past? Beg me! If you beg me, I might tell you."
Lin Ruo: … …
Where's my knife?!
Suppressing the urge to beat him up, Lin Ruo maintained his smile on the surface and said, "If I beg you, will you tell me?"
"Of course…" Medici deliberately dragged out his tone, then revealed a smug expression, and said, "It's impossible! I can't wait to see you make a fool of yourself, how could I possibly help you find your past memories."
Lin Ruo: … …
Damn it, he wasn't surprised at all.
Taking a slight breath, Lin Ruo looked at Medici in front of him and knew that he probably wouldn't get any answers from him today.
Heh, if he can't get it, he can't get it. At worst, he'll find it himself later. Anyway, the clues about his familiarity with Medici are all here, and now there's at least a direction.
Anyway, Lin Ruo wasn't in a hurry. He could now roughly determine that the amnesia was probably something he did himself, so he could take his time.
Compared to memories… Lin Ruo deliberated for a moment, then opened his mouth again and said, "Actually, there's another purpose for me coming here to see you today, besides wanting to find my past memories."
Medici seemed stunned for a moment, then his expression turned serious, and he said, "Another purpose—let me guess what could attract you here… You're here for this card?"
As Medici said this, a tarot card with a portrait of Roselle appeared in his hand, it was the Red Priest card.
Lin Ruo's gaze also fell on the Red Priest card. He didn't nod, nor did he deny it.
"Why would you want this card? This is something from the Hunter pathway, you shouldn't need it." Medici held the card in his hand. At this moment, he looked directly into Lin Ruo's eyes, his gaze sharp: "Lin Ruo, don't tell me you've jumped to the Hunter pathway like that Lunatic, Alista Tudor?"
Lin Ruo met his gaze, and finally said, "If I said yes, would you give it to me?"
Medici suddenly fell silent, then his expression became ferocious and terrifying, even hysterical, "You're crazy!"
His tone was full of malice, even gnashing his teeth. At this moment, Lin Ruo sensed some indescribable aura on him, something belonging to a high Sequence.
Crap! Weather Warlock?!
Could it be that Medici possesses the characteristics of a Weather Warlock? No wonder I feel like I can't beat him.
Wait, where did he get the characteristics…
Wait, could this be my fault!
Lin Ruo's hair stood on end at this moment. As the owner of the Blasphemy Card, Lin Ruo had of course simulated the Sequence 2 position of Weather Warlock, which belonged to the Hunter pathway, in private to familiarize himself with it, so he almost immediately came to a conclusion.
However, strangely, although he had goosebumps, Lin Ruo didn't feel much fear in his heart. It was as if even if he didn't remember anything, his heart was still very certain that the person in front of him might fight him, but wouldn't really hurt him.
—Wait, why does this sound so gay?
While complaining in his heart, Lin Ruo looked at Medici and said, "I told you, I don't remember. So I don't know why I became a Hunter, I don't even know that I used to be an Spectator. Perhaps it's really as you said, I might be crazy."
Medici suddenly quieted down. He suddenly reached out and covered his face, rubbing it hard a few times, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a few seconds, he regained his usual arrogant demeanor, looked at Lin Ruo, and said, "If you want this card, you just want to see the formula on it. How about this, let's make a deal. You find me a gatekeeper or a Sealed Artifact that can contain evil spirits, and I'll let you take a look at the formula on this card?"
He suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, if you're willing to beg me, I might as well let you take a look directly."
… …
Lin Ruo ultimately chose to make a deal with Medici.
After all, he really coveted the contents of the Red Priest Blasphemy Card, and the deal that Medici mentioned was also within his acceptable range—not to mention that he happened to have a Sealed Artifact that met Medici's requirements.
Ince Zangwill's handkerchief, rest in peace!
I hope that after falling into Medici's hands, you can still praise your Goddess daily.
And Medici kept his promise, letting Lin Ruo take a look at the Red Priest's Blasphemy Card. After the latter copied all the formulas on it, Medici immediately changed his attitude, coldly took the card away, and started driving him away.
Because he didn't have much Spirit Body Left, and he had already gained a huge harvest from this trip, there was no point in staying any longer, so Lin Ruo simply left.
Back at the office, thinking about everything that had just happened, Lin Ruo let out a long breath, his mood was quite complicated for a moment.
"Medici…"
He was a little confused, and suddenly switched to the Scholar of Yore state, and then reached out and pulled.
After several consecutive times, a figure quickly outlined, it was Medici, wearing blood-stained black armor and with blood-red hair like fire.
Scholars of Yore cannot directly interfere with Uniqueness, so Lin Ruo could not pull out the Red Angel who had already accommodated the Uniqueness, but he could pull out the period before He accommodated the Uniqueness—just like Zaratul, although he could not pull out Emperor Roselle as the Black Emperor, he could pull out the Great Emperor as the Knowledge Emperor.
Several successes proved that he was indeed very familiar with the Red Angel.
And the Red Angel, who was pulled out, looked at him blankly. Although he didn't have a real consciousness, he still said:
"Yo, Little Black, didn't you say that even if you swallowed the characteristics and jumped the pathway, you wouldn't ask me for help again?"
Lin Ruo: … …
Sorry, I might really jump the pathway.
With a blank expression, Lin Ruo cancelled the summoning of the Red Angel's projection, and then cancelled the simulation of the Scholar of Yore's ability. For a while, his thoughts were a little complicated.
After a long while, Lin Ruo suppressed all his emotions again, and recalled that after he pulled out Medici's historical projection just now, the speed of Spirit Body consumption suddenly became faster, thoughtfully: "The consumption has indeed increased, it seems that the plan to use Scholar of Yore to exploit the bug won't work… But it should still be much less consumption than simulating an angel myself in the future…"
After thinking for a while, Lin Ruo planned to have a good sleep to restore his Spirit Body. After he woke up, he would simulate the Seer's ability to confirm whether the formula was real.
Although he did personally look at the Blasphemy Card and copy it, the necessary caution was still necessary.
… …
At the same time, the underground ruins where Medici was sealed.
"You actually gave him all the formulas, that's really not like you."
"I said long ago that their falling out back then was just acting, see, this proves it!"
"Heh, as expected of Medici, always weaving conspiracies."
"So what? Isn't it still cheaper for that Lunatic Tudor with us."
After Lin Ruo left, the mouths on Medici's left and right cheeks started chattering again. Listening to these discussions, Medici became quite impatient again and said:
"Shut up!"
Sorath and Einhorn were speechless at once. This was not because they didn't want to speak, but because they were suppressed by Medici—obviously Medici's condition was much better than theirs.
Medici was pulling on the handkerchief in his hand, which had the same effect as a gatekeeper, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Amnesia… is it himself or…"
"That fanatic…"
