Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 1565 286

Above, a thick layer of clouds drifted by, gradually blocking the sun and casting shadows.First, the Ksitigarbha Hall dimmed, and then Li Zhiyuan and Zhao Yi, standing at the hall entrance, were all encompassed.

The wind began to howl at this moment, bringing not the precious coolness unique to summer, but waves of eeriness.

The Fengdu tourist area is like this; even with bright sunshine, it can make visitors shiver with cold.

Li Zhiyuan: "I always thought we were self-aware enough, but the reality proves that our self-awareness is far from sufficient."

In the past, Li Zhiyuan consciously defined himself as a knife and acknowledged the necessity and inevitability of being this knife when he was relatively weak.

But the problem is, being a knife is one thing, but the young man truly didn't expect that there are not just one or two hands holding the hilt... but even more.

It seems everyone thinks he's useful, and everyone wants to borrow him, without any concern about lining up and taking turns, leaving the "knife" entirely bewildered, not knowing exactly who's wielding him.

Zhao Yi came to the young man's side, comforting him: "Take it easy. When you're not strong enough, you'll always need to face those stronger than you."

Li Zhiyuan shook his head: "What I'm thinking about is whether this awakening is too late."

Zhao Yi: "It probably isn't, because even though we've reached the Fengdu Territory, we haven't entered the real Fengdu yet."

Li Zhiyuan: "Then there's still time to adjust."

Zhao Yi: "No, I mean, no matter who's pushing this wave, we still don't belong to those qualified to sit at the table, and since we're already here, might as well go with the flow?"

Li Zhiyuan: "If I hadn't awakened and was still in the dark, that would indeed be the thing to do."

Zhao Yi: "So blissfully muddled, brother."

Li Zhiyuan: "Let's get back to the car. Do me a favor; I need to start this wave from scratch and deduce it again."

Zhao Yi paused for a moment and asked: "I'm not opposing it; I'm just curious about the significance of doing this."

"Do you think, as a knife, we actually don't hold our own power?"

"At least not now."

"Having self-awareness is indeed one of the values of a knife."

Li Zhiyuan didn't enter Ksitigarbha Hall to take a look, but instead directly returned the way he came.

Zhao Yi stood still.

When the young man sat back in the car, Zhao Yi also opened the car door and jumped in. Before he could settle, he couldn't help but ask:

"Li, what's the real purpose of your voyage on the Jiang?"

"Thinking too much about this and that before things are done is not only meaningless but rather a lazy escape."

"Are you avoiding my question because this answer is something even you find difficult to speak of? Or do you travel the Jiang simply because the Jiang seems fun and amusing?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Borrow your brain for a bit."

The young man closed his eyes, and in his mind appeared the image of all of them, sitting in their family pickup truck and Chen Lin's sedan, about to leave the Nantong Territory.

The next moment, the image receded, and everyone's actions began to reverse, until...

"Little Yuanhou, your phone's ringing~"

Aunt Zhang's exuberant voice started this wave.

In the image, Li Zhiyuan answered the phone and conversed with Xue Liangliang.

"Xiao Yuan, well, there's a bit of an issue with a project somewhere, if you have time, I hope you can check it out..."

"Brother Liangliang, where is the project?"

"Fengdu."

In reality, in the truck.

Zhao Yi lit a cigarette, and took several heavy drags.

With his left hand, he stubbed out the cigarette, clenched it tight, and the Gate of Life and Death seam quickly turned on his chest, as he placed his right hand atop the young man's head and closed his eyes.

With Zhao Yi's participation, Li Zhiyuan was unreservedly dividing the deduced memory images into several parts.

While in Nantong, leaving Nantong to face the four marshals and eight generals, the three incense sticks, meeting Mr. Zhai, Ghost Monk, and dealing with the filth in the service area restroom.

Besides that, the young man also separately extracted the memory of exchanging invisible glances with the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva at the conclusion of the Undersea True Monarch Temple.

In the driver's seat, Zhao Yi opened his mouth with a noise from his throat, his eyelids twitching continuously.

If it was just memory retrospect, the consumption was extremely low, and both he and the young man could easily accomplish it, but the problem was, this time the young man included memory image deduction.

Moreover, Zhao Yi discovered that Li was focusing on using Zhao Yi's mind this time, preserving his own.

After a long time, the deduction was complete.

Li Zhiyuan opened his eyes, Zhao Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and remarked:

"Li, you sure stomp hard when borrowing someone else's brain, huh?"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"I say, wasn't it much less effort when you did the skill deduction?"

"Yeah."

"Any insights?"

"Yes."

"Let's hear them."

"Speaking of which, it's about assigning tasks."

"Go ahead, assign them; I'm now just a lone soldier. Can I even compete with you for the leader position?"

"Aren't you opposed to it?"

"That was prior discussion. Once it's time to do things, don't think about others. You should be aware of the reason behind my initial resistance."

"You're quite relieved, if this wave isn't pushed by the Great Emperor but by Bodhisattva, then accompanied by the Great Emperor's defeat, the 'curse' placed by the Great Emperor on your head and your entire clan can be resolved."

"To be precise, if we are pushed to target the Great Emperor this time... the win-lose results are tied with my entire clan, then I can feel a bit more at ease.

But I find, Li, your stance isn't with Bodhisattva."

"I reject Changsheng because none of the 'Immortals' I've seen have a good ending; I prefer judging by outcomes."
