Hupo Research Institute branch base.

Late night, rooftop.

The night breeze was blowing, and Feng Qi and Lin Ran drank for three rounds.

As we chatted about the past, the strange feeling of not seeing each other for many years gradually faded away.

Especially when night fell, they all thought of the days when they studied all night in the library after dinner at Star City University.

After clinking glasses with Lin Ran again, Feng Qi took a big sip:

"A Ran, if your friend cheated on you one day, would you hate him?"

Hearing these words, Lin Ran was obviously stunned:

"Brother Qi, why do I feel like you are trying to deceive me when you say this?"

"That's not the case, I just thought of something, so I asked you." Feng Qi denied decisively.

Lin Ran nodded, and then asked curiously:

"If it's a deception from a close friend, it will definitely break my heart... But everything has two sides, and giving surprises is also a kind of deception. Can you first tell me what the result of being deceived is?"

Facing the inquiry, Feng Qi was silent for a while and then said:

"What if the person who was deceived lost his life as a result?"

"There must be a reason, right? What is the purpose of the deceiver?" Lin Ran asked curiously again.

Faced with this question, Feng Qi remained silent again.

Taking away other people's lives for the sake of saving the world has never been his heart's desire.

Standing on the moral high ground and being able to decide other people's futures at will, in his view, is another form of oppression and exploitation.

So he felt guilty for Lin Ran.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Lin Ran and said:

"What do you think of betraying a friend for the sake of justice?"

"Dayi? Can you give me an example?"

"If one day you face a choice, killing your friends with your own hands can save your world and your people. What will your choice be at that time?"

Lin Ran fell into deep thought after hearing these words.

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Feng Qi:

"If your hypothesis is true, is it possible that death is also the wish of a betrayed friend?"

Hearing these words, Feng Qi couldn't help but be stunned.

As if he could tell that Feng Qi was worried, Lin Ran immediately smiled and said:

"Just like you and me, if one day you need to sacrifice me for our ideal future, then I...have no obligation to refuse."

At the end of the sentence, Lin Ran's expression looked particularly serious.

Feng Qi also suddenly realized that Lin Ran seemed to have noticed something.

At this time, Lin Ran smiled and picked up the wine glass and took a big sip:

"Brother Qi, I feel like you are hiding something from me. Although I don't understand why you want to hide it from me, I think you have your own reasons."

"Based on what I know about you, it's impossible to disappear for so many years just to experience life on the front line. We once talked and you said that your dream is to join the Cultivation Technique Research Institute...whether it is from the perspective of contributing to mankind or from other perspectives.

, stepping onto the front line is not in line with your code of conduct, and it is further and further away from your original dream."

Looking at Lin Ran with a smile on his face, Feng Qi fell silent.

He found that he had always underestimated Lin Ran's insight.

At this point, the topic has reached this point, and it has actually hit the warning line.

The conversation they had just now may also be read after the Lord of Mist seizes Lin Ran.

At that time, the Lord of the Mist, who has always believed in him, may also have doubts in his heart.

Thinking of this, his heart tightened.

Being seen through by Lin Ran is obviously detrimental to the future development of this sacrifice line.

But the matter is not without a chance of redress.

In multiple timelines, Wei Wei is researching content related to memory.

For example, memory preservation, memory editing, knowledge implantation, etc.

Now that the topic has reached this point, he felt that he might choose to confess everything he knew to Lin Ran.

But after confessing, he needed to find Weiwei.

Then ask Wei Wei to help edit Lin Ran's memory content and delete memories that are not conducive to the development of this sacrifice line.

"Wait a moment, I'll make a call."

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked to the other side of the rooftop.

When Lin Ran saw this, although he was confused, he did not ask the reason.

Feng Qi, who came to the other side of the rooftop, took off his backpack and took out the specially encrypted mobile phone made by Scarlet Research Institute.

After following the steps to verify, he entered the encryption interface.

Opening the contact list, he dialed Wei Wei's number.

After waiting for a long time, Weiwei didn't answer the phone, but he was not in a hurry.

He had spent a long time in the Scarlet Research Institute and understood that Weiwei was often involved in research projects on rune crystals and could not carry her mobile phone with her at all times.

Some projects take several days once launched.

But fortunately, the call to contact Wei Wei will automatically jump to the scarlet contact desk after 10 minutes, and then there will be a dedicated person responsible for notifying Wei Wei to answer the call.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the phone was connected, and a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Aqi, do you have anything else to inform me of?"

"Sister Wei, I want to ask you something. How is your research on memory editing going?"

"What's wrong? Do you have any knowledge that you want to implant into your memory? If so, you can send the information to me, and then I will edit it into a memory and implant it into your brain. Then you will

You can master this part of knowledge by directly reading it... But I hope the amount of this part of knowledge will not be too huge, otherwise the difficulty and probability of failure will skyrocket."

Thinking that Feng Qi had knowledge that he wanted to bring to the other person, Wei Wei responded decisively.

After hearing these words, Feng Qi realized that Wei Wei had obviously misunderstood.

So he immediately said:

"Sister Wei, do you know that I have returned to Star City?"

"I know that our positioning chip is implanted in the back of your neck. In addition to the special team protecting your brain, the headquarters is also paying attention to your movements in real time."

Feng Qi nodded and then continued:

"This time I returned to Star City because the history of this sacrifice line has developed to the stage where the Lord of Mist is preparing to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Now that Lao Wang is in the Scarlet Research Institute, Lin Ran will obviously become the target of the Lord of Mist to seize his body.

.”

"I just participated in the external recruitment of Hupo Research Institute a few days ago. Now I have joined the branch base of Hupo Research Institute and met Lin Ran..."

It took him more than twenty minutes to explain the current situation to Wei Wei in detail.

After explaining the situation, he continued to ask:

"So Sister Wei, can you edit Lin Ran's memory, otherwise I'm afraid something might happen to this sacrifice line."

After listening to his story, Wei Wei's laughter came from the other end of the phone:

"You are too careless. Lin Ran is very smart. During the time you disappeared, he was investigating our Scarlet Research Institute intentionally or unintentionally, and investigating your information, but we just ignored him."

Hearing Wei Wei's laughter, he knew there was something serious about this.

But before he got clear confirmation, he was still a little worried, so he immediately said:

"Sister Wei, please answer me first if you can help me handle this matter."

The answer came immediately on the other end of the phone:

"I can't edit memory, but three years ago I extracted the blood of a domain creature that can control the mental consciousness of other creatures, and developed a memory erasing potion that can delete some memories after consumption. You can use this thing

superior."

"delete memory?"

"Yes, this memory erasing potion can immediately delete part of the memory before drinking it after drinking it."

"Then how do I eliminate the part of the memory I want to eliminate? I can't let Lin Ran completely turn into an idiot with no memory after drinking it, right?"

"I can't choose to erase my memory. As for what you said about completely losing your memory and becoming an idiot, you don't need to worry."

"This memory erasing potion determines the erasing time based on the dose, which is also related to the constitution of the drinker. The data I have tested now is that each milliliter can erase the memory of the drinker for about 0 hours. This effect can be extended forward.
