Lin Huang initially thought that as long as he could find Zhang Mengmeng's real face or name, he would be able to find out her real identity and which organization she belonged to. Then, he would be able to figure out her purpose of getting close to Fatso.
However, Yang Ling told him that although Zhang Mengmeng's identity was fake, her face was real. She was an unregistered citizen and she had just registered her fake identity last month. It was as if she had never existed before this.
It was impossible for him to figure out Zhang Mengmeng's identity because she had no identity at all.
Without an identity, there was no way he could find out which organization she came from and what her purpose was.
After closing the communication page, Lin Huang took out the black needle that was as thin as a hair. "I'll make some time tomorrow to go to the black market and see if I can find any clues from this black needle."
…
The next morning, Lin Huang met Fatso and Zhang Mengmeng at the agreed time and place after breakfast.
"Why isn't your sister here today?" Fatso was surprised to see Lin Huang coming alone.
"We're visiting the Three Lifetime Mountain today. She's been there before and she's not willing to climb the mountain, so she's not coming," Lin Huang explained with a smile.
"You're going to climb the mountain …" Fatso looked bitter when he heard the word 'climb the mountain'.
"The Three Lifetime Mountain is a famous scenic spot. There's a small pavilion at the top of the mountain called the Fate Pavilion. You must've heard of the story of fate, right? It's said that it came from this mountain and this pavilion. "Lin Huang looked at Fatso with a smile.
"The myth about reincarnation that was passed down from the ancient era?" Fatty raised his doubts. "But during the Ancient Era, it's still unknown if anyone lived in Division7. How could the myth come from here?"
"Didn't anyone tell you? The White Capital in Division7 was rebuilt from the ruins of the ancient era. The Fate Pavilion was discovered 300 years ago when the Coalition government first opened up Division7. Later on, it was confirmed that the pavilion was the one in the fairy tale, "Lin Huang explained.
"Can you tell me the story about the fate of three lives?" Zhang Mengmeng suddenly turned her head and asked Fatso.
"That story …" Fatso didn't expect Zhang Mengmeng to suddenly make such a request. "Actually, it's about a doctor who went up the mountain to collect herbs and saved a snake from the mouth of a ferocious bird at the Fate Pavilion. Many years later, the doctor died and was reincarnated as a wealthy merchant. One day, when he passed by the Destined Fate Pavilion, he was robbed by bandits. However, he was saved by the snake that he had saved in his previous life. Many years later, the rich merchant died and was reincarnated as a scholar. That giant snake also cultivated into a human form. The two of them met again at the Destined Fate Pavilion and became husband and wife … "
"In the Ancient Era, many people believed in a theory called the reincarnation of life. They believed that people would not disappear without a reason after they died. Instead, their souls would go to a place called the underworld. There, their souls would be cleansed and their memories would be reset to zero. Then, they would be reincarnated without any memories, "Lin Huang explained. He could tell that Zhang Mengmeng had never heard of the story before.
"Reincarnation …" Zhang Mengmeng mumbled softly. She then lifted her head and smiled at Fatso. "I like the story. Let's take a look at the pavilion."
As Zhang Mengmeng spoke, Lin Huang was secretly observing her. She seemed to be in a much better condition than the day before, and she was interacting more with Fatso. Lin Huang was not sure if she was pretending to be afraid of exposing herself. Even the way she looked at Fatso was like a young lady in love.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Let's climb the Three Lifetime Mountain!" Fatso could not reject Zhang Mengmeng's request at all.
The Lianyun Mountains where the Three Lifetime Mountain was located was located at the northwest of Quiet Moon Lake. It was around five kilometers away from the lake, and the entire mountain range extended more than 200 kilometers to the west. It was a great tourist destination in the White Capital.
Many locals loved to go to the Lianyun Mountains in the summer because the mountains were covered with trees, making it a great place to escape from the heat.
The Three Lifetime Mountain was only one of the scenic spots in the Lianyun Mountains. There were many beautiful sceneries along the way.
Moreover, the physique of the people in this world was much stronger than that of the people on Earth. It was easier for them to climb a mountain that was thousands of meters tall.
Fatso did not want to climb the mountain because he was lazy. With his current combat strength of a bronze-level rank-3, it was not difficult for him to climb the mountain.
There were four routes to climb the Three Lifetime Mountain. Two of them were through the stairs while the other two were rock climbing. Considering Fatso's condition, Lin Huang chose the stairs.
As the three of them climbed the mountain, Zhang Mengmeng seemed to be in high spirits. She could not wait to see the legendary pavilion.
"Mengmeng, why don't you go up first and wait for us up there? I'll accompany Fatso." Lin Huang suggested with a smile.
"Yeah, Mengmeng. If you want to see the pavilion, you can go up first. We'll catch up later. "Fatso panted as he said. He could not keep up with Zhang Mengmeng's pace.
"Alright then …" Zhang Mengmeng looked at Lin Huang. She seemed to have something to say but she hesitated and left.
"Fatso, what did you and Mengmeng do after dinner last night? Did you stay in the hotel? "Lin Huang asked Fatso after Zhang Mengmeng walked away.
"We didn't go back to the hotel after dinner. We went to the mall. We only went back to the hotel to sleep at 11 pm. "Fatso smiled." I bought a lot of snacks and some clothes for Mengmeng. "
"You two were together last night?" Lin Huang was even more surprised.
"Yeah, from 7: 30 pm to 11 pm, we were together." Fatso nodded. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Nothing. I just want to gossip about how far you two have progressed." Lin Huang smiled.
"This … it's a secret!" Fatso kept him guessing.
The two climbed the mountain. Lin Huang asked a few questions along the way. Finally, he confirmed that Zhang Mengmeng was with Fatso last night. She didn't even go to the toilet.
"So, the one who attacked me last night was not Zhang Mengmeng!" Lin Huang finally came to this conclusion.
The two spent more than three hours climbing to the top of the mountain. Zhang Mengmeng was already waiting in the red pavilion at the top of the mountain.
There were many people sitting in the pavilion. Zhang Mengmeng was beautiful among the crowd. She attracted the attention of many men and women.
"Hangyi!" Zhang Mengmeng ran to greet Fatso when she saw him finally climbing up.
Many people thought that Zhang Mengmeng was Lin Huang's girlfriend. They thought they were a perfect match. However, the scene changed when they saw Zhang Mengmeng wiping Fatso's sweat with a handkerchief.
"Why is it that such a beautiful and fresh little cabbage is always eaten by pigs?" A handsome man next to him was almost in tears. It was obvious that he recalled the sad history when he was young.
"Hangyi, there's a fortune-teller over there. He read the fates of a few couples just now. He's very accurate. Let's get him to read our fates too." Zhang Mengmeng pulled Fatso and walked forward.
Lin Huang was rather surprised. If she was acting, Zhang Mengmeng's acting was too good. He could not tell that she was faking it at all. However, he followed them immediately.
The fortune-teller that Zhang Mengmeng mentioned was sitting at the east corner of the pavilion. He was skinny and wore a long robe with the word 'karma' written on his chest. He looked like he was in his early sixties with white hair and a beard. What was special about him was his eyes. They had no pupils or irises. They were completely white.
Zhang Mengmeng pulled Fatso to the old man. "Sir, please read our fates."
The old man was stunned when he lifted his head to look at the both of them. He then grabbed one of their hands and looked at their palms.
After a while, he frowned and said, "Both of your fates are very strange …"
He looked at Zhang Mengmeng after a moment of silence. "You don't have a past."
He then turned to look at Fatso. "You don't have a future."
"Both of your fates started when you first met each other, but it ended at the same time. It's very strange. Theoretically, both of you are far apart from each other and will never meet again. However, your fates are entangled in a strange way. The end of this entanglement seems to be nothing … "
Before the old man could finish his sentence, Zhang Mengmeng's tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably like a string of broken beads.
"Mengmeng, what's wrong? Don't listen to this kind of nonsense … "Fatso wanted to pull Zhang Mengmeng away, but Zhang Mengmeng stood there and refused to leave.
"Sir, is there any way to save me?" Zhang Mengmeng asked the old man while sobbing.
"I'm sorry. What's done can't be undone." The old man shook his head helplessly. He then stood up and walked down the mountain.
"Sir, the fortune-telling money." Zhang Mengmeng wanted to chase after him to give him the money, but she was stopped by Fatso.
"There's no need …" The old man waved his hand without looking back and slowly disappeared from the sight of the three of them …
"This old man is just trying to sow discord. He can't bear to see us do well!" Fatso scolded. "If he wasn't just an ordinary old man, I would have beaten him up!"
"Alright, don't be angry." Lin Huang patted Fatso and comforted Zhang Mengmeng. "Mengmeng, don't take what he said to heart. That person might have just said it casually. Don't take it too seriously."
Although Zhang Mengmeng nodded, she could not stop sobbing.
