"Young Master, you have long discovered the clue. When did you discover it?" Ying Feiyang's spirit was lifted. He only knew that Young Master Peacock's cultivation was so profound that he could get rid of the influence of the Gu Insect.
? "Five days ago, maybe seven days ago, maybe even earlier …" Young Master Ling put his hand on his forehead and gently tapped his temple with his fingertips. Then, he said reluctantly, "If you expect me to know the whole cause and effect, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. In terms of hiding in the dark and using strange Gu Insects and sneaking around, no one can compare to that damn toad. Although I noticed it and tried to use my power to resist it, it was too late. There is not much I can remember."
Ying Feiyang felt a little discouraged. But seeing Young Master Ling's gloomy face, he said again, "Gu Xuanzhi was unprepared, but Young Master still discovered the clue. Obviously, he is not as good as Young Master. Now Gu Xuanzhi is hiding in the dark. To find him, any information is precious. Young Master, please tell me everything you know."
"Even if you don't praise me, I can tell you. Otherwise, why would I come here to chat with you?" Gongzi Ling snorted and exposed Ying Feiyang's thoughts. He then said, "However, I still have a question. During this period of time, although Xie Lingyan has mostly appeared as my wife Anping, she has inexplicably reverted to her original identity in the past few days. Do you know the reason for this?"
Ying Feiyang knew what Young Master Ling said. On the first day he came to the villa, he saw the so-called "Xie Lingyan". On the second day, the one in front of him changed back to the original Xie Lingyan. Today, which was the third day he came to the villa, Xie Lingyan became Xie Anping again. Originally, he was also confused by this change of identity and almost thought that there was something wrong with his brain. But after reading Encyclopedia of Insects, he understood the reason and explained, "According to the book, after the Mother Gu takes possession of a human body, it takes a month to completely integrate with the human body. The speed at which the larvae reproduce and absorb memories is also related to the degree of integration. At first, the Mother Gu will release larvae on the ninth day to absorb people's memories. After that, the Mother Gu will sleep for a day to digest the memories it has devoured. At this time, without the suppression of the Gu, Xie Lingyan's consciousness will be temporarily awake for a day. A day later, the Mother Gu will wake up again and take over Xie Lingyan's body. It will continue to reproduce larvae to absorb memory for it. This time, its reproduction cycle is only seven days. After that, it will be five days, three days, one day … "
Ying Feiyang paused and continued, "From our point of view, at first, we lose memory once every nine days, then every seven days, then every five days, three days, one day. The speed of memory loss is constantly accelerating. There is a day interval between each memory loss. On this day, the Mother Gu will sleep and Xie Lingyan will wake up. She will change between the two identities in this way. The rest of the people will be affected and their memories will be separated into two unrelated parts. After a month, the Mother Gu will completely integrate with Xie Lingyan and can absorb memory every night. At that time, the person Xie Lingyan will no longer exist in our minds. Only your 'wife', whose brain has been occupied by the Gu Insect, will live in the world. The whole villa will be completely manipulated by it, and it will be difficult to save it! "
Gongzi Ling said with a sullen face, "Completely replace Xie Lingyan? It's almost there. A few days ago, the demons in the villa said that my wife Anping came back from the dead, right? Today, you tried to ask them again, but they have completely forgotten about my wife's death. They only remember that my wife Anping has been sick for a long time and is weak. I'm afraid that after two days, their impression of Anping will return to before she got sick. "
"Two days?" Ying Feiyang noticed the key point.
Gongzi Ling nodded and said, "Yes, the last time Xie Lingyan appeared was yesterday, and the last time was six days ago. The interval is five days, so there are only three days left. That is to say, excluding today, if we can't find the key point in two days, all the demons in the villa, including me, will lose memory again."
"There are only a few days left!" Ying Feiyang took a deep breath. Although he had expected it, he still didn't expect the situation to be so dangerous. He forced himself to calm down and asked, "From what you said just now, you still have the memory of six days ago? But you said that you are still affected by the Gu worm … "
"I can't remember it myself, but can't I use a pen and paper to help me remember?" Gongzi Ling rolled his eyes, as if he hated him for not working hard. He then said, "This started from five days ago. At that time, I was deeply affected by the Gu worm, and my mind was already fixed. I naturally thought that my wife Anping had come back from the dead. But after spending a day with her, although her body was weak and she spent most of her time sleeping and recuperating, I still felt that she was different from my impression."
"What's the difference?" Ying Feiyang asked. Even when his memory was intact, he was still misled and mistook his Senior Sister for Xie Anping. Gongzi Ling's memory was seriously damaged, so how could he notice the difference between the two?
This seemed to have stumped Gongzi Ling. Gongzi Ling was startled. After thinking for a moment, he simply said, "It's different."
These four simple words were equivalent to a nonsensical answer, but it made Ying Feiyang feel the weight of these four words. He couldn't help but think, if he was in Gongzi Ling's position, would he be able to see the difference in the person he loved?
Gongzi Ling continued, "I had doubts in my heart, so I quietly searched for the truth. Very soon, I found the letter that I wrote to myself. It turned out that I had already noticed it earlier. At that time, I started to investigate the reason, and at the same time, I hurriedly recorded down the clues I found before I lost my memory. And when I received the message I left behind, I finally confirmed that the strange phenomenon in the manor was caused by the Gu worm. "
"But at that time, I didn't know what kind of Gu worm it was, and I couldn't confirm if it had anything to do with Gu Xuanzheng. Hence, I pretended to vent my anger on Qin Feng, and chased her out of the manor. In reality, I sent her to find the Flower Demons that had moved into the Sky Incense Valley, so that they could condense the Hundred Flower Dew that could ward off the evil poison. Unfortunately, Qin Feng was one step too late, and couldn't deliver the Hundred Flower Dew to me in time. Instead, it ended up benefiting you!"
Ying Feiyang suddenly understood, and said, "I see. Then, is there a way to return it to you, Gongzi?"
"Stop talking nonsense. You've already eaten it, how are you going to return it to me?" Gongzi Ling scolded, and then said helplessly, "Forget it. Although it was unintentional, it's not a bad choice for you to eat it. At least, it's more suitable than me."
"Oh? What do you mean? "
Gongzi Ling said, "My action of chasing Qin Feng away must have aroused the suspicions of that stinky toad. You said that after killing Tie Shan, you purposely left behind clues to get rid of you. In my opinion, it's not only for you, it's also to test me. It's to lure you into a fight with me. If I get rid of you, it's no different from destroying my own eyes and ears. It's the best for that stinky toad. If I let you go, it proves that you're able to retain your memories, and it's highly possible that it has something to do with me. It'll also allow that stinky toad to take precautions in advance. "
Ying Feiyang understood tacitly. In the current situation, Gongzi Ling and Gu Xuanxing were like two assassins. Gu Xuanxing was hiding in the dark, setting up a fatal trap, eliminating all variables, and waiting for Gongzi Ling to step into the land of death. On the other hand, Gongzi Ling had to pretend that he didn't know anything to lower Gu Xuanxing's wariness, so that he could counterattack at the last moment.
Both sides were baiting and testing each other. They were both the hunter and the prey, and whoever showed a flaw first would be doomed eternally.
After figuring this out, Ying Feiyang said, "So, Gongzi 'killed' me in front of everyone's eyes, which was to let me fake my death. Not only did it break Gu Xuanxing's trap, but it also lowered his wariness towards Gongzi. After that, I'll be in the dark, and Gongzi will be in the light, and we'll catch Gu Xuanxing together!"
Gongzi Ling nodded slightly, "That's more or less correct, but there's one mistake. After that, it'll be you and me in the light!"
"Eh?" Ying Feiyang didn't understand.
