Two days later, when grandparents brought Zhou He back to the village from the county hospital, they learned that while they were in the hospital, a fire broke out in the village, burning down four or five homes.
The two children who bullied Zhou He were all burned to death in one family, and the other child was seriously injured and blinded. There was also an old widow nearby who was unfortunately burned to death in the house.
Grandma saw Zhou He burst into tears after hearing the news and thought she was frightened, so she just comforted her.
Later, the police came to investigate and asked about their family situation, but because the family was in the county hospital that night and they were looking for someone day and night, and there were witnesses everywhere, no one suspected that it was their family who committed the crime. The police had never thought of this possibility: an eight-year-old girl with a broken arm could run three kilometers back and forth to set fire and kill people.
The incident was ultimately determined to be an accidental fire.
After experiencing these things, Zhou He became much quieter, like a different person, and rarely went out to play with other children.
According to Zhao Ke, "How come Zhou He has become like other little girls? So timid and boring."
In her grandmother's words: "Zhou He finally looks like a girl. Alas, this incident has made her grow up."
As if to compensate her, her grandfather treated her better and paid for her education. She studied quietly and went to the county town for middle school. Her grades were average. After graduating from high school, like many of her classmates, she chose to go out to work.
At that time, her parents had already opened several printing shops in Shanghai with the money they earned from working in the south, and the business was doing well. They also gave birth to a younger brother who was ten years younger than her. She went to Shanghai to join her parents and help them manage the branch of Hua Xia University.
What everyone doesn’t know is that when Zhou He left, the child who was blinded by the fire fell into his own well and drowned. What everyone doesn’t know even more is that there was a conversation before he drowned.
"I made you blind for ten years to pay off your debt. Now I'm leaving, and your debt should be settled."
Zhou He? At that time... was it you who set the fire?"
"Hehe... Zhou He is her name, call me Zhou He. Goodbye!"
Looking through these memories is like looking at a diary from the past. The memories of the past eighteen years are not one, but two. One is from the innocent, simple, and kind Zhou He, and the other is from the silent, calm, and brave Zhou He. She found that the two memories of Zhou He and Zhou He are relatively independent, but also intertwined. She can feel their different views and emotions on the same thing. She can also feel their consistency hidden deep inside.
She can even feel that her current personality and way of dealing with things come from the characteristics of these two personalities. She has helped many people and killed many people along the way over the years. When she stood up for many people and saved them from a miserable life, perhaps she was kind-hearted like Zhou He, and when she fought fearlessly, she might have been secretly influenced by Zhou He's personality.
But she is no longer them. These two different memories seem small and weak in front of Mo Yu, who is now at the peak of the master level. The most powerful thing about a master is not her body or skills, but her state of mind.
This fusion of memories, emotions and even personality is like pouring two buckets of water into a large lake.
Zhou He, Zhou He, Mo Yu, who is she? It's not a question at all.
But why did Xiao Chen become the key to unlocking these memories? He and her had only been together for a few hours.
Mo Yu could clearly feel Zhou He's affection for Xiao Chen. In the short time they spent together after crossing over, he was like Zhou He's backbone, giving her something to rely on in the terrible situation of being buried underground. He also tried to protect her from various dangers. But this emotion was limited to the level of affection, and he did not get a chance to grow.
But it seemed that the connection between him and her was even stronger than the deepest memories of the past. With the master's mysterious perception, she felt that this powerful connection had even broken through some kind of limitation of time and space, as if it had happened many times.
In many worlds, they had fought together and died together. Then she felt a force calling her, telling her that they should fight together again, and in this world, maybe they could change their fate together.
Mo Yu was a little confused, but she knew that this was an opportunity. Before she was about to step onto the Saint Stage, such a state of mind was actually very rare. Her heart had been calm for too long. Even in the most violent battle, her mind was still as calm as still water. She was not afraid of death or pain. As long as her body allowed, she could stand up again and again. This was also why many enemies who were stronger than him fell helplessly in front of him.
This is the inheritance of the Arias family, giving her the most powerful blessing, erasing the inheritor's memory and emotions, allowing her to cultivate the intuition and instinct of fighting and focus on the practice itself without distraction, but this is also an obstacle that hinders her progress, because to become a saint, she needs to find her complete self and become a rich enough person.
Perhaps if she could sort out these memories, she would be able to take that step and become a saint-level mad swordsman.
When she came to her senses, she found that everyone in the dungeon was looking at her, but no one dared to make a sound. Even the prisoner named Xu Xin was looking at her expectantly.
"Boss, how are you?" Gallo asked.
"Did you really remember something?" Gao Wen asked.
"How long have I been standing here?" Mo Yu asked.
"About half an hour. Just now when we talked about the Chinese Tower, you were stunned. Then, there was another strange thing." Gallo said.
"What?"
Gallo pointed at Bella, and Mo Yu saw a small silver disc on Bella's hand. It looked like a watch dial, but it was actually the holy emblem of her nameless god.
Bella said, "Just before you fell into deep thought, I felt God's will. I felt a kind of power, through this holy emblem, injected into your soul."
Mo Yu asked: "Could it be that she helped me recover my memory?"
Bella said, "She helped you a little bit. Anyway, I heard her say: Finally there is a chance to wake you up. Come and help!"
"Help? Help whom?" Gao Wen asked.
Mo Yu said: "I understand. I still need to sort out this matter myself. When I figure it out, I will tell you. Let's go first."
"Wait a minute! What about me? We are from the same hometown! Let me go!" Seeing everyone turning around, Xu Xin in the cell shouted.
Mo Yu turned around and said, "I don't think there's anything to be proud of for being from the same hometown as a murderer. Since you won't die anytime soon, just wait to spend the rest of your life in jail!" (To be continued)
