One day, after forming a contract with the old god,

The force that forcibly erases memories is still working endlessly.

Qin Yu's familiarity with the two figures became increasingly weak.

As the memory deprivation deepens, the reflected figure becomes almost pale, leaving only a shallow shadow.

This is a very dangerous sign.

Qin Yu didn't know why the trial area was obsessed with erasing the memory of the inviter, but her intuition told her that it must be because it was important enough and too important to be remembered, so it was erased.

There was obviously a dozen steps between her and the figure, but she only realized it when she got closer.

It seems so close, but actually it's so far away.

She even couldn't help but wonder:

Could what he saw just be the afterimage of a mirage?

Infinitely close yet infinitely far away.

Sudden.

A clear and melodious ringtone came from the figure.

The surrounding scene gradually became clearer amidst the clanging sound.

An unprecedented sense of clarity hit the top of Qin Yu's head.

The forgotten memories are also awakened little by little in the ringtone.

The two figures were once again given a vivid background by the filling of memories.

One person was holding the hilt of the sword, half-kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.

Another person was standing beside him, with an imperial bell hanging in the air.

Even if there is no external force, the bell can still ring out of thin air.

It's as if a pious heart is shaking it.

The unity of heaven and man, the connection between humans and gods, can naturally lead to good fortune and avoid misfortune.

When Qin Yu walked in, she realized that the two people were none other than Zhao Changzhong and Zhao Zhiru.

She and Zhao Zhiru once had a relationship, and they were taken care of by each other at that time.

I think back when she first entered the trial area, her palm was bitten off by 1902, and she almost lost her life.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhiru was by her side at the time, using the Imperial Bell to break through the obstacles and suppress 1902's violence, which bought her precious time to escape.

Otherwise, with her level at the time, she would not be able to survive the moment she obtained the Disaster Curse.

In my impression, Zhao Zhiru always looked calm.

At the moment, she was like a wounded little animal, stubbornly and sadly standing by Zhao Changzhong's side, exuding a broken feeling that she was about to fall.

Qin Yu could tell that although there were no fatal wounds on her body, her spirit might have been contaminated after being exposed to the trial area for a long time.

After she got closer, she gave Zhao Zhiru some crystal nuclei: "It will be better if you eat it."

"Thank you." Zhao Zhiru smiled tiredly, with an obvious cry in his voice.

Only then did Qin Yu notice Zhao Changzhong, who had been protected by her.

His chest and abdomen were penetrated deeply, leaving a huge hole the size of his pelvic floor.

Fortunately, there was a copper coin sword supporting his body.

Otherwise, someone else might have fallen long ago.

"How could this happen?" Qin Yu's heart tightened, and she stuffed a few healing crystal cores into his mouth, and called the immortal out to find a solution.

After taking the crystal core, Zhao Changzhong still had no reaction.

His face was as white as a sheet of paper, as if he would fall down in the next second.

The immortal pursed his lips to indicate that he had run out of gas and that even if the immortal came, he would not be able to save him.

Although Zhao Zhiru was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help crying after hearing Xianxian's words.

He has no disaster spell and cannot borrow props

For him, who has been adhering to ancient learning all his life, these are evil things in sheep's clothing.

Seeking skin from a tiger will inevitably lead to backlash.

In the desperate battle just now, Zhao Changzhong used his physical strength and experience to endure.

The Mountain Ghost Copper Coin and the Copper Coin Sword can indeed play a certain inhibitory role, but in the face of such a troublesome disaster chemical, this effect has no effect at all.

One for one is already the best result.

At this point, Zhao Zhiru almost broke down and cried.

The cry recalled Zhao Changzhong who was about to fall into eternal sleep.

He raised his head and glanced at Qin Yu, then released his hand on the hilt of the sword and moved his lips slightly.

He had no strength left, so he closed his lips twice with great effort, and then closed them again.

Obviously, this action had consumed all his strength.

Zhao Zhiru explained from the side: "Grandpa hopes you can accept this copper coin sword."

Qin Yu seemed to turn a deaf ear and stuffed a few more healing crystal cores into his mouth, trying to hold him to his last breath.

She couldn't accept this ending.

At the moment, she couldn't tell whether she was fighting against the unwillingness in her heart, or whether she couldn't accept him falling in front of her.

Zhao Changzhong noticed her intention and shook his head, but did not eat the crystal cores brought to his mouth.

These two actions made him close his eyes tiredly, and his breath was almost too weak to be felt.

His life was passing quickly, and the healing effect could not stop it at all, or even suspend it.

She could only watch helplessly as he exhausted his last bit of strength.

What a despair for her.

Zhao Zhiru understood what Zhao Changzhong meant long before Qin Yu arrived.

He has already finished explaining his funeral arrangements:

The first person to kill the Forgotten Apostle will be unable to escape the curse of being forgotten by the world, and neither life nor death can break it.

However, for him, neither forgetfulness nor death are enough to pose any threat to him.

We are all mortal, and as long as we die well, why should we care whether we will be remembered by the world?

As inheritors of ancient schools of thought, they are born with the ability to purify evil spirits.

Ordinary evil things dare not get close, let alone attack rashly.

Therefore, Disaster and Dream Cube cannot allow people from the ancient school of thought to enter unless they take the initiative to enter.

This is also the reason why disciples of the ancient school can still preserve their strength to the greatest extent even when disaster strikes.

Although Zhao Changzhong entered the trial area for the first time, he was very familiar with the rules of the trial area and the tower climbing matters.

He knew that the inviters who were not within the killing range would be trapped in the cycle of beginning and end over and over again, and there was no way to break it except to successfully climb the tower.

In this way, the dense fog and disasters that cut off people's communication will be refreshed over and over again.

Their health bars will not change in any way, but those who invite them will suffer torture over and over again.

His death is a foregone conclusion, and he cannot kill the refreshed catastrophes again and again.

But in order to allow those inviters who are still trapped here to successfully climb the tower, he asked Zhao Zhiru not to take away his body.

Leave it here and continue to protect the people here.

His bones can dispel the fog.

As long as there is less interference from the fog, the difficulty of the entire trial area will be reduced by more than half.

As long as you kill the rest with all your strength, it won't be difficult to leave here.

Zhao Zhiru could not accept his proposal at first, and proposed to stay and use the imperial bell to drive away the thick fog. Wait until everyone successfully climbs the tower, and then leave with his skeleton.

Zhao Changzhong rejected her idea.

Not to mention how the spirit of the inviter will be polluted if he is exposed to high distortion for a long time.

The curse of forgetfulness alone can easily disrupt Zhao Zhiru's plan.

As time goes by, even the Imperial Bell cannot resist the deduction of the curse.

Zhao Changzhong's death has become a foregone conclusion. It is not worth wasting time and energy on this issue.

He could feel that the invasion of the other world was accelerating at an exponential rate.

The top priority is not the disposal of the bones, but...

"Preserve your strength and continue climbing the tower. This is what you should do as a descendant of the ancient school." These were the last words Zhao Changzhong left to Zhao Zhiru.
