"Shuteng, can't you find out anything? Since it involves the Dark Titan and the Xenomorph, I think it's OK to use special means."
Shuto Saya is the head of the memory police force. The special method that Matsunaga mentioned is naturally the technology equipped by the memory police to directly query the memory.
The so-called "mind reading" that was fantasized in ancient times can actually be realized by scientific means in this era.
But Shuten shook his head.
"Of course we have used it, but the administrator, she doesn't remember anything. You know, with our technology, it's impossible to lie."
So, she really had lost her memory? There was no need to even ask the memory police to erase her memory.
"Has her background been checked?"
"Of course, this is the most basic."
TLT has much higher authority than the police to investigate cases, because of the special duty of fighting alien beasts, it has the highest authority in any department. When the public security department handles affairs, it may encounter different departments passing the buck to each other, but TLT will not encounter such a situation.
"She is a student in the Department of Fine Arts at Tokyo University of the Arts. She is a senior and about to graduate. She has no bad social record. Her school mentors also speak very highly of her. In addition, according to the investigation results, there is nothing unusual about her family. In addition to her parents, she has a younger brother. She is an ordinary family with a clean family background."
There was really nothing noteworthy about that. Apart from being in an inappropriate place at an inappropriate time, there was nothing suspicious about Saita Riko.
"What about her relationship with Team Komon Ikki?"
"We have of course investigated this. According to Team Komon, they have known each other for a year. But we have another record here that is worth noting."
Matsunaga took the special mobile phone from Shuten and took a look at the records that Shuten showed him.
"Were they attacked by alien beasts at that time?"
"Yes. That time, Team Komon and Saita Riko's family encountered alien beasts, and it was Vice Captain Mizoroki, who was a member of the association, who saved them. However, the vice captain's identity as a member of the association had not been reported to us at the time, so the record of this was added later."
At that time, after receiving the alarm about the appearance of the alien beast, the alien beast's vibration wave had disappeared when the night raid team arrived at the scene. It was Goroki who took the lead in destroying the alien beast. A few months later, he confessed his identity as a member of the association and supplemented this report.
So at the time of that incident, TLT only carried out post-event control work, including erasing the memories of those present.
Among those whose memories were erased were the names of Ikki Komon and Riko Saita.
Chapter 538 Hero
"Lizi, how are you feeling today?"
Lizi was still sitting on the bed, and she opened the curtains to let the sunlight in. The dust particles in the air danced around, and the lively spirits dispelled the haze in the ward.
"I am fine."
Compared to yesterday, Lizi is indeed much better and can now sit up and read normally.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Men was just looking for a topic out of boredom. In fact, he didn't care what book Li Zi was reading. He had never read it anyway. He was not a liberal arts student and had no habit of reading. But Li Zi deliberately closed the book.
"A secret." She put the book under the pillow of the hospital bed. "My mother came to see me last night. She said, 'Lizi, why are you always in the hospital?' Haha, I was worried about you."
She had indeed been to the hospital quite often recently, but they couldn't find out what the cause was. Including this time, the doctor said she was very weak, but he didn't specify the cause.
The facilities here are already the best, more complete than any hospital Lizi had visited before, but the result was the same.
So it's about time to give up.
"Gumen, you left early yesterday, otherwise I could introduce you to my mother." Lizi looked at Gumen. The sunlight was shining through the window, and from this angle, Gumen seemed to be covered in golden light.
This lonely door calmed Li Zi's heart, which had been panicking since yesterday.
It was as if as long as Gu Men was there, nothing would matter.
Komon sat down beside Lizi's bed and looked at her quietly. They could feel each other's breathing.
He actually knew Lizi's family.
More than a year ago, he was attacked by a strange beast on his way home. Lizi and her family were there at the time. It was a terrifying monster that could not be described in words. Its body was 20 to 30 meters tall and looked like a demon in mythology. There was nothing he could do except run away and scream in fear.
I even wondered if I had accidentally stepped into the world outside of the ordinary. After all, no matter how hard I tried, such a monster couldn't possibly exist in the real world. It didn't make sense.
Then, they were saved by the association's senior 'Kenshin'.
Now that I think about it, he should be Vice Captain Mizoroki. The heroic and dashing Kenshin, dressed in a Seven uniform, cut the alien beast in two with his saber.
That sword was like the creation of the world. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as the creation of the world. It was the imagination of the whole world that was created.
Heroes from myths and legends. To describe him as revered is a bit superficial, but the feeling I had at that time was even more than that, like a pilgrimage.
So, after destroying the alien beast, Senior Kenshin gave him two choices.
One is to wait for the memory police, all his memories will be erased, and then he will continue to live in a false peaceful society as an ordinary person who knows nothing.
Or you can join a society, face the alien beasts head-on, join the battlefield to fight against the terrible creatures that secretly threaten humanity, and never enjoy a peaceful life again until you die in battle, or completely eliminate the alien beasts.
Komon chose the second option without hesitation. He wanted to be like Kenshin. He had accomplished nothing for many years and always caused trouble for others in the rescue team. He wanted to be a hero like him.
So senior Kenshin gave him a pair of contact lenses that could deceive the memory police and prevent his memory from being erased.
The next day, he joined the association. The senior said that he needed to apply to Miss Kaina to be assessed by the association. Gumen didn't know what the assessment was, and he had no experience of taking any assessment. The next day, he was told that he was allowed to join and was given a device that could access the five senses.
After that, his world became more colorful, and he saved many people in the battle with the alien beasts. Although they would not remember it afterwards, for Komon, his life had meaning.
That day, Lizi and her family's memories were indeed erased. So Lizi didn't remember the alien attack, and in her memory, she thought the second encounter at the zoo not long after was the first encounter. So of course her family didn't recognize her.
Komon remembers Riko's mother, and in his memory she was a very kind person.
"Will Auntie come today?"
"I told them not to come. There's nothing wrong with my health. She just likes to worry. By the way, where does Gu Men work now? The armor he wore yesterday was really beautiful, just like the prince in the story."
"This, uh, is a secret."
"A secret? So, Gu Men, is this the job you want?"
"Yes." This was the only thing that Gu Men was sure of. To destroy the alien beasts and keep people away from the threat, this was what he had wanted to do for a long time.
"That's good."
Lizi felt relieved.
Compared to Lizi, Himeya Jun's condition improved faster, which was simply a medical miracle. As the attending physician, I couldn't understand why an organ that failed yesterday suddenly recovered naturally the next day.
"Thank you." Himeya Jun said, with various testing instruments attached to his body.
"No, it's not us, it's you who got better." The attending doctor felt that he was not worthy of being thanked.
But Himeya's thank you wasn't actually for him. He was thanking the girl who was standing in the corner of the room, invisible to everyone except him.
Miss Misaka, the master of the association. It was she who healed himself with the blue bracelet on her wrist. Himeya didn't even go to exchange for treatment, it was the girl who took the initiative to appear in front of him.
"It's Himeya-kun who is protecting everyone, and you are the one who should be thanked." Lingye said.
Her voice was also not heard by anyone except Himeya. As long as she wanted others to ignore it, it would be ignored.
No one forced Himeya to fight, not even Nexus.
In fact, Nexus in this world gave Lingye a strange feeling. He seemed to have no independent consciousness. Unlike Ultraman in the Land of Light, he was just light itself.
In this dark world, God said, "Let there be light." Then there was light, and light was separated from darkness. Then there were Nexus and the dark giants.
Nexus is a phenomenon, not a living being. It is like a god, so it is not wrong to call it "Him".
Being chosen by the light, Himeya Jun didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.
He should be lucky. If he is given the right to choose again, Himeya will still go into the ruins and take down the Evolution Truster in the center of the ruins. Rather than living in a daze, he hopes to have the power to fight, even if he is paralyzed by the pain of fighting.
After the consultation, the doctor and nurse left the room. Hime looked down at the instruments on her body, knowing that they were actually unnecessary.
He did recover. After being treated by Blue Mother, Himeya has fully recovered.
In fact, Evolution Trusters can also summon healing chambers to repair their bodies with light energy, which is also incomparable to human medicine.
Using light energy to stimulate and nourish his exhausted organs in the sea of light could restore their vitality. But compared to the blue mother who broke the law of life and death, the treatment chamber seemed useless.
When the doctor left, Miss Misaka was still there.
"Misaka-san, Faust, is it Saida Riko?"
"Ah."
Lingye nodded, confirming Himeya's judgment. Anyone could be Faust, Lingye had seen it countless times, and there were different Fausts in different timelines. So no matter who it was, she would not be surprised.
As long as there is darkness in your heart, you will become Faust if you are captured by darkness.
The so-called darkness is not necessarily evil. Cowardice, loneliness, sadness, these can all be darkness. So this time, Faust chose Saita Riko.
"By becoming Faust, can she ever return to being human again?"
"I do not know."
"do not know?"
Himeya didn't expect the leader of the association to answer like this. Whether she said yes or no, Himeya could understand, but he didn't expect her to give such a vague answer.
"By becoming Faust, you have become a puppet of darkness. You must have died a long time ago. Mr. Himeya, even I cannot bring the dead back to life."
This "cannot" is the same whether it is a subjective unwillingness or an objective inability to do it. The fact is that Ling has not truly resurrected any dead person so far.
But Ling also said "I don't know" because Lizi's body is still human, otherwise the abnormality would have been discovered during the hospital examination. She didn't know whether Lizi's soul still belonged to her or had been completely swallowed up by the darkness.
When Ling returned to the Freedom Fortress, she found that no one was in the combat command room. Kiraraze was not there, and she waited for half an hour but he didn't come back.
This was rare, as Kirasawa always treated the command room as his bedroom, and would never leave except to go to the toilet. Ling even suspected that if she wasn't a girl, he might have moved the toilet into the room.
Going to meet his 'visitor' friend again?
Those jellyfish, chatting with them is Kirara's hobby. Ling is not impressed by the "visitors". They are not the saviors of the earth, they just want to use humans as tools to avenge themselves.
In multiple timelines, Ling also tried to communicate with the other party many times. Then she came to a conclusion. Communicating with the "visitors" is worse than playing the lute to a cow. Apart from cursing and wailing, they no longer have other emotions.
Those so-called technologies were not enough to help humans eliminate the alien beasts. In fact, the technology they gave to humans was only at the level of ordinary second- or third-level civilizations among the member civilizations of the Galactic Federation, and it was extremely biased and far from enough to compete with the dark giants.
But that is obviously not the true technological level of the Visitors. They are much more terrifying in reality. The so-called Zaki was originally a biological weapon created by them, but it went out of control. Claiming that they "don't want to create another Zaki", the Visitors will not provide real technology to humans.
So Ling doesn’t have the permission to go to Wangchuan, and even if she did, she wouldn’t want to go.
At this time, Kainar's mass projection appeared next to Lingye.
"Miss, Saita Riko has gone missing from the hospital."
Chapter 539: Wangchuan
Liberty Fortress, SECTION-0
Kiraraze looked up at the huge mechanical structure of the River of Oblivion, which was brewing the fear of humanity being forgotten. Negative emotions were bubbling and fermenting, and it was unknown what kind of fruit would be bred.
