Chapter 232 Memory - Deep Dive

After leaving Lu Mingze, Caesar continued along the corridor until he reached the end of the room where he was staying.

He let go of the lighter, fumbled for the switch, and lit the worn-out lightbulb whose inner walls were covered with dust.

The worn wooden bed has not changed even if it is truly embedded in the memory.

Caesar pulled the backpack from the bedside, stared at the glittering jewels inside, and rubbed his chin.

He is not pedantic.

In other words, Caesar Gattuso, who single-handedly set up the Student Union to replace the Lionheart Club, is the epitome of arrogance and unruliness.

In a world of false memories, he doesn't mind doing something out of the ordinary.

The reason why he rejected Lu Mingze, compared to the bottom line violated by [cannibalism], the more important reason was the lack of trust between the two.

A second personality that appeared out of nowhere... Even though Lu Mingfei knew him, Caesar found it hard to believe.

His fingers fiddled with the jewelry, and soon he packed his backpack, took his lighter and went out again.

……

When passing by [Nize]'s room, I could hear the sound of discussion coming out from the gap.

Caesar ignored him and walked straight past.

On the icy blue sea, a faint flame flickered.

But when he moved the lighter away, the illusory reflection immediately disappeared from his pupils.

at this time.

Caesar was standing in front of another door.

On the orange tag, the words "Wang Er" are clearly visible.

##
When the sun comes out with the clouds, all the conspiracies and intrigues are left in the disappearing night.

A woman can let go of her worries and feel quite energetic even if she only sleeps in the second half of the night.

She went upstairs to wake up the other children, and saw Caesar leaning against the stairs. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to greet him.

"Good morning, sir, are you waiting for me?"

Caesar's face was very gloomy, and he asked directly: "The body of the man who escaped last night is still with you, right?"

"Are you talking about Haozhe?"

At this point the woman lowered her voice and said, “Yes…still.”

Caesar looked at him meaningfully.

"Last night, I went back to my room and counted the stolen jewels. I unexpectedly discovered that one piece was missing!"

After connecting the before and after, the woman instantly understood: "You mean Haozhe took it?!"

"Yes... Only the guy who eavesdropped on our conversation knows where the jewels are! I have searched that guy's room, but found nothing!"

The woman did not delay upon hearing this and returned to the first floor and reopened the room that she had locked for fear that the body would be exposed.

The body with a deformed head was pulled out from under the bed.

The woman groped his body with her fat hands and shook her head at Caesar: "Not here."

She stood up, looking grim, and after pacing for a while, she hesitated and asked, "Sir, could it be that you remembered it wrongly? Or... did you accidentally drop it on the way here?"

The woman didn't want to admit that she had found the wrong person last night and that the person who knew her secret was still alive.

"Or maybe the kid just hid the jewels in another, more secret place?"

"Maybe, but I don't want to bet on it!"

Caesar pinched his brows and said, "Tonight, I will leave here and go abroad as planned. The dividends I promised you will be placed under the bed where I sleep."

After these words were spoken, the woman was not only unhappy, but became even more flustered.

She wanted to say something else, but Caesar had already turned and left.

……

Caesar had no idea what the welfare home's schedule was in reality.

Anyway, in this fake corner, the children would sit in the empty classroom after dinner, staring at the empty blackboard and podium in a daze.

And taking advantage of the gap between "classes"...

The woman's eyes were bloodshot as she wandered around the second floor, searching every child's room.

……

The angle of sunlight entering moves forward little by little from the rear end.

I don't know how much time passed, but when the time accurately pointed to a certain point, all the children swarmed out of the classroom.

"Sir...sir!"

The woman grabbed Caesar from the crowd and dragged him to a corner.

"I found it, I found it!"

She carefully spread out her palm, and the milky white pearls rolled restlessly in her palm.

Caesar opened his eyes wide at the time: "That's right! That's it! Where did you find it?"

"Wang Er! It's Wang Er!"

The woman gasped excitedly, "I found it in his room! It was hidden between the sheets and the quilt!"

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, held the pearl in her palm, and looked at Caesar with some greedy expectation.

"What you find belongs to you. Of course, it doesn't count towards your share."

Caesar said casually, then asked, "What are you going to do about that little brat?"

"Of course, execute him!"

The woman did not hesitate.

"Very good!" Caesar praised and shook his finger: "But before you deal with him, go announce it to everyone!"

The woman was puzzled: "Announce?"

"That's right. During lunch time, tell everyone who came out the night before yesterday."

"Is this... necessary?"

The woman was somewhat reluctant. In her opinion, shouldn't such things be kept as secret as possible?

Caesar suddenly found her thinking very interesting. She had strangled the runaway child to death last night, but now she was worried about being exposed.

[The caution in reality, coupled with Su Beixun's sense of complete control over the orphanage? ]

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

"Ma'am, take a long-term view."

Caesar took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes, put it in his mouth, frowned, and then took it out between his fingers.

"This isn't our last deal. The orphanage has set a rule that prohibits people from leaving the house after 8:30, just to make it easier for us to contact each other secretly... If that's the case, why not make an example of someone else to scare the monkeys?"

He put out the burning cigarette against the wall and threw it on the ground: "According to my understanding, many little devils don't take this rule seriously, right?"

The woman's expression changed, and seeing Caesar's determination, she compromised and said, "I understand... I'll get ready now."

Looking at her broad back, the expression on Caesar's face gradually faded, and he fell far behind with his hands in his trouser pockets.

That's right—that's what he intended!

Caesar figured it out!

Since I'm not a detective and can't find any clues about the eavesdropper in these days, I'll use another method to solve it.

——By hiding the jewelry in Wang Er’s room, the “real murderer” was found out by framing him.

If Su Beixun still remembers the incident clearly because he was wrongly accused, then labeling the eavesdropper as "official" should be able to resolve his concerns.

Caesar thought.

Lean against the wall.

Take in everything around the dining table.

The woman was ignoring the struggle and pressing a child in blue clothes on the table. The grayish white skin rubbed against the table, and blood appeared after a few times.

She warned others in harsh words, raised her hand, and showed Wang Er, whose flesh and bones had been ground to pieces, to everyone.

suddenly!

Caesar's leaning body tensed up in an instant.

Everything in front of me suddenly began to fluctuate, like soft silk being shaken, or like a TV program with a flickering snow screen.

All the colors that can be seen are gradually being replaced by mottled colors. The world is being taken apart into pieces, leaving only the black chassis on which it is loaded.

Nothing can be seen.

Caesar could feel himself falling madly.

He didn't know where the end was.

Is it another memory?

Or can we really reach the depths of consciousness?
Caesar was looking forward to it. But he suddenly became a little worried about Lu Mingfei, wondering if that guy would fall with them or still stay in the orphanage.

Thoughts are flying...

suddenly!

A wild wind blew from below!

Caesar heard a long, intense groan, and finally felt himself landing on a smooth and cold "land".

A rough metallic texture felt between my fingers.

And during the lateral transition from falling, the dim light coming from afar finally allowed him to see his situation clearly.

——He was sitting on a dragon!

Black scales, slender neck, wide membranous wings, and hideous protruding bone spurs on the tail.

Caesar's body stiffened for a moment, and he subconsciously reached for his waist to draw his knife, but he quickly relaxed and calmly enjoyed this rare experience.

The milky white light gradually spread to the dark surroundings.

in a blink!
Caesar seemed to rush out of the long and narrow corridor, and after a very obvious sense of frustration... everything unimaginable slowly unfolded before his eyes!

The clouds and mist were supported under the dragon's wings, layer upon layer, like a thick white sea that even the strong wind could not blow away.

The dark-colored mountain peaks are rooted in the land in an unknown distance. They are tall and majestic. Even the misty clouds can only reach halfway up to them.

Snow and ice cover the mountaintops, with the top climbing towards the deeper sky.

Caesar looked up.

Over those incredible cities built on the clouds...

He saw a black dragon with its eyes closed, perched on the highest peak of the mountain! Membrane wings wrapped around its body, and with each breath, heat melted the ice and snow, turning them into rain and rivers.

This is a scene that no mortal could ever draw!

Even the religious murals depicting God are like clowns in disguise in comparison!
Licking dry lips.

According to the guidance in the blood.

Caesar whispered His name softly.

"Niggerhold..."

##
Brixham.

The child standing on the beach and looking at the sea suddenly turned around, looked at the town that suddenly fell asleep behind him, and pinched his finger bones suddenly.

"Success!"

Through Brixham's alchemical ritual, using dreams as a bridge of communication, it is indeed possible to connect to the deeper levels of consciousness.

His eyes were golden with excitement, and he no longer worried about how to go back and face his brother. He followed the implicit connection and let it spread into the cocoon in the deep sea.

##
There were only nine children left at the table.

Lu Mingfei knelt on the ground in pain, holding Caesar's backpack and whimpering.

"Boss... I was wrong, boss! I shouldn't have doubted you! Come back soon... Don't leave me here! Wuwu..."

Paji~

A foot suddenly kicked him to the ground.

"That's enough, brother! What's the point of just crying here?"

The boy put his hands in his pockets, full of contempt.

Lu Mingfei yelled and got up: "Damn it! How dare you kick me! If you hadn't interfered, there's no way I could have separated from the boss!"

"To say something like that... I doubt very much whether you have been infected by the current British body."

The child sneered and waved at him impatiently: "Come here quickly, it's time for our performance to begin."

"What's the point of playing a role? The boss has already succeeded, so why don't we just follow his ideas?"

"Successful? Haha, he just fell into another shallow memory."

The boy simply stood on tiptoe, grabbed Lu Mingfei's collar and pulled him out.

"Come on, when have I ever made a mistake? Or do you think I'm cheating you if I don't pay a price?"

Lu Mingfei shuddered, staggered to his feet and broke free, shaking his head repeatedly, saying flatteringly: "No, no, no! Of course not! Lord Lu is broad-minded, don't argue with me."

The boy sighed and said no more.

slowly.

The noise slowly faded into silence.

The moonlight flows softly, like the veil of the world.

Without hiding any noise, the boy strode down the corridor, pushed open a room at random, and walked straight towards the sleeping figure on the bed, reaching out to grab his neck.

"Fuck...wait a minute...eat it raw? Don't you have no mouth?"

Lu Mingfei was so scared that he was incoherent, but when he saw the smooth face, he couldn't help his damn curiosity.

"Just tear it apart."

The boy shrugged and dug his nails into the flesh, tearing a big hole!
Some of the muscle fibers were not completely severed and were connected from top to bottom, like the bloody lines stitched between the lips.

The boy held up the corners of his mouth and broke them one by one, revealing his sharp teeth, and bit towards the throat of the person in his hand.

creak~

Blood splattered everywhere!

The broken throat squirmed wildly, and the blood danced wildly in the air.

Lu Mingfei was stunned!

He couldn't believe what he saw!
The tragic scene was so sudden that he even forgot to vomit.

"Little...little devil..."

He fell to the ground with a thud, supported his body with trembling hands, and crawled backwards, but his back happened to hit the half-open door, causing it to close completely with a click.

"Ah, sorry... I'm just a little curious about the difference between the humans in my memory and in reality."

The boy wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, leaving a bright red mark.

He licked the flesh off his lips with his bright tongue, grabbed the man's neck, and walked towards Lu Mingfei as if he was carrying a dead chicken.

Lu Mingfei leaned back as hard as he could, wishing he could stick his whole body to the door.

"You... don't come over here... what do you want to do..."

"Sorry brother, I regret this."

The boy raised his bloody mouth and said, "I think a difficult role like [Monster] is more suitable for an elite of the literature club like you than for me."

"...Huh? You're really holding a grudge, aren't you? Why didn't you remember that I just praised you for being broad-minded?!"

Lu Mingfei tried to ease his emotions by talking nonsense.

But the boy just approached silently.

He suddenly reached out and tore off a piece of meat from the face of the person in his hand, then stuffed it into Lu Mingfei's mouth with a smile.

The fishy smell went down the throat and churned the stomach upside down!
Lu Mingfei's pupils dilated and his throat rolled, but the urge to vomit was completely blocked by the hand pressing on his mouth!

"don't want……"

A faint rejection came out of my abdomen.

But the boy just pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides, trying to create the scarlet crescent moon on his face.

Gulu~

The slippery piece of meat was still being squeezed and forced to slide into the abyss.

Lu Mingfei's pupils dilated and before he could even catch his breath another piece of meat was stuffed into his mouth.

“Eat…eat…”

The boy leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Imitation and repetition are the bridges that connect you and me."

Tick ​​~
A distinctive splash.

The notebook the boy was carrying suddenly melted and fell to the ground drop by drop.

These inky streams swallowed up the blood, expanding and accumulating until they became a dark lake.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt himself sinking! A sticky liquid like asphalt slowly flowed over his nose and eyes.

But I don’t know how long it took.

His chaotic consciousness felt an upward buoyancy again.

……

On another completely dark sea.

The boy trapped in chains watched the figures gradually floating up from the sea.

Shake the iron lock and laugh wildly with the crisp sound.
