Chapter 92: Invitation from Phalaenopsis (5K)

Staring at the ashes on the ground, Shen Cheng frowned slightly.

He knew very well that it must be Phalaenopsis's doing, but what was the meaning of her doing this?

The crisp sound of snapping fingers appeared again, and the surrounding environment began to change.

This time they arrived at the parking lot, and enemies appeared around Shen Cheng one after another.

Jiang Hui, He Qiuyun, Lan Fei, brothers Lei Wen and Lei Wu...

"You like playing this kind of little game, don't you?"

Shen Cheng sneered: "Then I will play with you."

He turned into a shadow, split and shot towards Jiang Hui and Lan Fei at the same time.

"careful!"

Jiang Hui shouted to remind his colleagues.

Lan Fei had a deck of cards in his hands and was about to draw a card.

Xu De, who was protecting her, stared at the black shadow coming towards him. Suddenly his face changed drastically and he looked up subconsciously.

boom!
A huge gravity came down from the sky, crushing the two defenseless people into meat patties.

On the other side, Jiang Hui, who had just put up the protective shield, saw this scene and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Shen Cheng had already arrived in front of him, and four mysterious hands shot out at the same time, pressing on the protective shield.

The protective shield that could easily block Shen Cheng's attacks before was broken like a glass cover under the attack of four mysterious hands.

Before Jiang Hui, He Qiuyun and Yang Sheng could react, their heads were grabbed by a mysterious hand.

puff!puff!puff!
The three men's heads were like burst watermelons, red and white all over the ground.

The brothers Lei Wen and Lei Wu who were rushing over were stunned.

There were seven people, and five of them were killed at the beginning. How can we continue to fight?
Seeing Shen Cheng turning and rushing towards them, the two brothers turned around and ran without any hesitation.

Although they are brave, they will not do anything that will result in their losing their lives.

But before they could run far, they were caught up by the mysterious hand and pierced through the chest at the same time.

boom!
It was not until this moment that the sniper in the distance, who might have been frightened, finally fired.

Shen Cheng manipulated the air to form an air cannon and fired back, but the distance was too far and he didn't know whether he hit the target or not.

These seven elite demon hunters almost defeated Shen Cheng before, but now they couldn't last more than a single round in his hands.

On the one hand, it was because Shen Cheng understood them well, so he first got rid of the most troublesome Lan Fei and the two guardians. On the other hand, it was also because his strength was no longer what it used to be.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound of finger snapping, and the surrounding environment changed again.

Sheriff's Department building.

When Shen Cheng saw Li Kedi and Yu Yuanqi appearing in front of him, he did not feel afraid, but smiled instead.

"You really think highly of me."

His black hair grew out and a pair of pitch-black wings emerged from his back.

He raised his hand and wiped his face, and the hideous evil ghost mask covered his entire head.

Three minutes later.

The Public Security Bureau building was reduced to ruins again. Shen Cheng stood on the ruins, strangling the dead Li Kedi in his hands and stepping on the broken body of Yu Yuanqi.

He panted heavily and slowly stepped out of his true form.

"Clap clap clap!"

Applause suddenly broke out.

Phalaenopsis appeared in the ruins and praised Shen Cheng: "Your growth rate is really amazing. You have completed a journey that others may spend their entire lives on in a short period of time."

Shen Cheng raised his head and stared at the Phalaenopsis with his scarlet eyes.

He discovered one thing. Since Phalaenopsis had been secretly observing him, it meant that every time he defeated an enemy, he would gain the opponent's abilities. Phalaenopsis must have known this.

A surge of murderous intent suddenly surged in Shen Cheng's heart, but he immediately suppressed it.

"Don't be so nervous. It's just mastering multiple abilities. This is not a difficult task for a memory user."

A ball of fire appeared in Phalaenopsis's hand, and the fire turned into ice, and then melted into water and fell into the ruins.

The next moment, a small grass grew out of the ruins, then two, three, four...

In a blink of an eye, the entire ruins turned into green grass and colorful flowers, which were all fresh and made people feel life.

Shen Cheng took a deep breath, the fragrance of flowers poured into his lungs, and he found that the fatigue he felt after using his true form had disappeared.

"You see, in memory, we can do anything."

Phalaenopsis tilted her head and looked at him: "We hold the secrets of the whole world. How important do you think your secret is compared to others?"

Shen Cheng frowned and looked at her: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. I told you, it's just a little game."

Phalaenopsis snapped her fingers again.

The ruins, the grass and the flowers were gone.

Shen Cheng found himself in an interrogation room with a one-way transparent glass in the middle. On the left was Ruan Qingsha sitting alone on the interrogation chair, and on the right was a group of bigwigs who looked pampered.

This group of people ignored Shen Cheng and Phalaenopsis who suddenly appeared, and were all staring at a middle-aged man who was answering the phone.

Shen Cheng was no longer surprised by Phalaenopsis's miraculous skills.

Phalaenopsis walked towards Ruan Qingsha, waved in front of her, and reached out to touch her smooth and delicate face.

"What a beautiful girl! Even I feel jealous when I see her."

She turned around and winked at Shen Cheng: "Would you like to take a peek into the memories of your lovely boss?"

Shen Cheng said with a stern face: "Do you like to peek into other people's memories?"

"No way. I'm a very well behaved person."

Phalaenopsis was spinning around Ruan Qingsha, playing with her hair from time to time.

A young man wearing glasses walked in and handed the phone to Ruan Qingsha.

Shen Cheng overheard Ruan Qingsha's conversation with her teacher and realized that she was about to leave Tailing City.

Phalaenopsis snapped her fingers again, and the interrogation room disappeared, turning into a spacious and bright office.

Sitting behind the desk was a beautiful and heroic woman who looked to be about thirty-five years old. She looked somewhat similar to Ruan Qingsha, but her temperament was completely different.

She was also on the phone, and judging from the content of the call, it was obviously Ruan Qingsha's teacher Zhao Nanxing.

As an ace-level demon hunter, Zhao Nanxing's strength is two levels stronger than Shen Cheng's current strength, but she couldn't even notice the appearance of two strangers in the office.

"If you marry your boss, does that make her your mother-in-law?"

Phalaenopsis suggested to Shen Cheng: "How about taking a look at the memories of your future mother-in-law? Maybe you'll see something nice."

Shen Cheng just frowned and stared at her.

Phalaenopsis giggled: "I'm just kidding. If she finds me, I won't be able to escape."

She snapped her fingers again, and this time they came to a black land. Some huge buildings could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Roar!
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying dragon roar sounded, and the entire black earth began to tremble violently.

Shen Cheng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, the blood in his body was flowing backwards, and he could hardly breathe.

"This is the legendary Dragon Realm, the kingdom of demons."

Phalaenopsis explained: "The cry just now should be the voice of the Demon Queen. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Shen Cheng had just caught his breath. He was at least tens or hundreds of kilometers away from the end of the earth. He almost fainted just by hearing the other party's voice. If he took the initiative to go over, he would die on the spot.

Phalaenopsis snapped her fingers again, and this time the two of them appeared on the top of a hill. They could vaguely see countless buildings on the towering mountain in front of them.

"The Eternal Empire, your vampire hometown, does it feel familiar to you?"

Shen Cheng watched silently.

The sound of finger snapping rang out again, and this time a group of people attending the dinner appeared in front of them. Some were dancing and singing on the stage, some were performing magic tricks, there were countless audiences below the stage, and people wearing clown masks were moving among them.

Without Phalaenopsis' introduction, Shen Cheng knew that this should be the legendary masquerade ball composed of people with pleasure abilities.

"Hehe, a guest is coming"

A clown suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Cheng and Phalaenopsis standing in the corner.

Shen Cheng was shocked. This was the first time that the two of them were noticed. This group of fun people were indeed powerful.

"Oh, we've been discovered, run." Phalaenopsis said to run, but her movements were not hurried. When the clowns pounced on her, she snapped her fingers and the scene around her changed again.

This time it was a huge round table, and seven masked men were arguing over a new picture on the table.

There is a star pattern painted on the mask on everyone's face.

"The Stargazing Club, a bunch of mindless old fogies."

Phalaenopsis snapped her fingers again, and the round table disappeared. What appeared before her eyes was a group of people wearing black cloaks and holding torches, surrounding a huge stone statue.

"The Fire Chasers, a bunch of religious lunatics."

With each snap of the fingers, the scenes kept switching. Phalaenopsis took Shen Cheng around the world one after another, witnessing various secret organizations, which opened his eyes.

When the last snap of fingers happened, Shen Cheng found himself back in the bar.

Phalaenopsis picked up the wine glass that had been filled by the bartender and asked Shen Cheng, "What do you think?"

Shen Cheng remained silent. On the one hand, he was indeed shocked by Phalaenopsis's ability. On the other hand, it was because Yu Yuanqi's soul finally appeared.

There was no movement just now, until Phalaenopsis took Shen Cheng to visit almost the entire world.

You kid took the opportunity to follow me and deliberately get something for free, right?

Yu Yuanqi's soul stood beside Phalaenopsis, speaking loudly to her with an excited look.

But Phalaenopsis didn't notice the soul around her at all.

Gradually, Yu Yuanqi's soul disappeared from the spot, and a red card appeared in Shen Cheng's hand.

This is the full version of the mysterious hand, and Phalaenopsis is equally oblivious.

These two details finally put Shen Cheng's heart at ease.

It turns out that you memory messengers don’t know all the secrets.

Shen Cheng regained his composure and looked into Phalaenopsis' eyes: "Very exciting, but are you showing me these just to show off your abilities?"

Phalaenopsis took a sip of wine and gave Shen Cheng an answer that surprised him greatly.

"Are you interested in joining us and becoming a memory messenger?"

Shen Cheng was surprised more times today than before. He never thought that Phalaenopsis would invite him to join the Memory Messenger.

This is the opportunity that Yu Yuanqi has always dreamed of. If he were here, he would agree even if it means kneeling down to lick Phalaenopsis' toes.

Shen Cheng was silent for a while before asking, "Why did you invite me?"

Phalaenopsis smiled slightly: "Because you can see me through memory, it proves that you have talent in this area, which is the prerequisite for becoming a memory messenger."

NO, I have not!
Shen Cheng knew very well that he did not have this kind of talent, it was given to him by the golden finger.

To be honest, this temptation is quite great for Shen Cheng, because he has just witnessed the power of the Memory Messenger.

But he has a clear understanding of his luck. There may be times when pie falls from the sky in this world, but for him, what falls may be a defense disguised as pie.

"What are the advantages and disadvantages of joining you?"

Shen Cheng asked, and emphasized: "If these questions require a price, you don't have to answer them."

"It doesn't matter. We have already started the recruitment process and you can still ask relevant questions."

Phalaenopsis explained: "As long as you join us, you can gain eternal life and know the secrets of the whole world. With such benefits, any disadvantages are enough to offset them, right?"

Seeing that Phalaenopsis refused to tell anyone about the harm, Shen Cheng knew that the harm must be very serious.

He didn't rush to agree: "I can't promise you now, I need to go back and think about it for a while."

"It's okay, you can think about it anytime you want."

Phalaenopsis seemed very easy to talk to, but her next sentence made Shen Cheng frown: "However, your consideration is meaningless, because the decision is mine."

Shen Cheng had no expression on his face: "Are you going to force me?"

“There is no forcing, only letting things happen naturally.”

Phalaenopsis lifted up her plump long legs and said, "Next, you will be tested. As long as you pass the test, whether you like it or not, you will be a memory messenger. If you cannot pass the test, then even if you spend your entire life, you will never become a memory messenger."

"What is the content of the test?"

"This has nothing to do with you. You just need to do your best. I will let you know when you pass the test."

Phalaenopsis raised her glass to Shen Cheng, meaning to serve tea to the guest.

Shen Cheng did not force himself to stay. After all, the other party could send him away with just a snap of his fingers.

But he still asked the question that concerned him most: "Can you peek into my memory?"

His memory contains the secret that he is a time traveler and has a golden finger.

Phalaenopsis knew what Shen Cheng was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, there is an iron rule for memory messengers. All memories must be exchanged fairly, but there is no way to peek into other people's memories."

Shen Cheng didn't believe it: "But the memories you just showed me, as well as the memories of Li Kedi and Yu Yuanqi, did they all make deals with you?"

“That’s right, 99% of those memories were acquired through trade by me, as for those two people you mentioned.

Phalaenopsis winked at Shen Cheng: "They are all dead. As everyone knows, the things of the dead are ownerless, so of course I won't be polite, but..."

She changed the subject: "Although I can't peek into your memory, I also have the right to delete the part of your memory that is related to me. You don't mind, do you?"

Shen Cheng still didn't believe it and had a considerable degree of doubt about Phalaenopsis's words.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am the messenger of memory, Phalaenopsis."

Phalaenopsis extended her hand to Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and shook her hand.

He suddenly felt Phalaenopsis scratching the palm of his hand with her little finger.

"Don't look doubtful, because it's useless to have doubts. When you leave this place, you will completely forget me and everything that happened here. We will not meet again until you have completely passed the test."

She gave Shen Cheng a charming smile: "You must work hard, I am very optimistic about you, don't let me down."

Before Shen Cheng could answer, he found that the Phalaenopsis and the bar had disappeared, and he was standing in front of the hotel elevator, with his hand stretched forward.

And right in front of him, there was a man waiting for the elevator.

The man looked at Shen Cheng in surprise as he extended his hand to him. Then he hesitated and extended his hand as well, shaking hands with Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng: “…”

He let go of the man's hand, frowned and said to himself: "What am I doing here?"

He looked up and around, then turned and walked out of the hotel.

The man looked at Shen Cheng's departing back, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a charming woman.

"The test begins, dear."

Walking out of the hotel, Shen Cheng looked back and smiled in his heart.

That's it?

He still remembered everything that had just happened, and also remembered Phalaenopsis's existence. He had not completely forgotten her as Phalaenopsis said.

This should be the effect of the golden finger, which also means that the power level of the golden finger is higher than that of the memory messenger.

Shen Cheng did not completely reject Phalaenopsis' invitation. If the source blood curse on his body really could not be resolved, maybe he could try to contact it and see if he could lift the curse by becoming a memory messenger.

However, Phalaenopsis also said that this was a unilateral test initiated by the Memory Messenger on him, and whether he could pass it had nothing to do with Shen Cheng himself.

Shen Cheng gained a lot from today's wonderful experience, and also witnessed many legendary secret scenes, including those mysterious organizations.

This has added more doubts to the group of memory messengers.

Their abilities, their existence, and their purpose are all blank.

With doubts, Shen Cheng came to the parking lot and found that the car was safe and sound.

This made him a little disappointed. For the first time, he hoped that the car thief would steal from him again, otherwise wouldn't the purchase of the pinhole camera have been in vain?
Just as Shen Cheng was about to ride his bike home, he suddenly received a text message on his phone.

When he took it out and looked at it, he found that it was sent to him by Ruan Qingsha.

"If you need anything, come to my house right away—your boss."

Sending a text message instead of calling seems to be nothing urgent.

Shen Cheng got on his motorcycle and drove towards Ruan Qingsha's home.

When I arrived at her house, I found that the door was open and there were a lot of things placed at the door.

Recalling the scenes he saw in his memory, Shen Cheng knew that Ruan Qingsha was preparing to move and leave Tailing City.

He got out of the car and walked into the house, and found that his guess was correct. There were already several suitcases in the living room, and Bai Qiu Ning was packing.

It seems that not only Ruan Qingsha, but also this man-hating and three-no woman will leave as well.
