Ji Feichen is not used to the current situation that he cannot control, especially in the past six months, since he found Lu Budu, he began to gradually gain the right to speak in the tribe.
And on this strange street, it was as if he had returned to the past and had lost control of the rules.
Ji Feichen actually didn't believe that the shop owner could erase the memories of his people, but because of his young child, he couldn't say it directly.
After listening to Ji Feiming's meaning, Lu Yao proposed two solutions: "Erase the memory, or sign a confidentiality agreement. I prefer to erase the memory. It is not good for them to know the existence of this street. Erasing the memory is safer for the shopping street."
The Ji family is different from ordinary guests. They know the secrets of the gods and their minds are very unstable. Lu Yao thinks that having Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin in the shopping street is enough.
The shop owner said so and Ji Feiming had no objection.
I have no objection if the road is not alone.
Ji Feichen had some opinions, but they were not adopted.
Then Ji Feichen realized that they really had no say.
Ji Feichen and Ji Feirong signed a confidentiality agreement. They were the only two Ji members who retained their memories. The rest of the Ji members had their memories of this morning erased.
Ji Zhixin planned to take Ji Feirong to the furry shop, and Ji Feichen sent the tribesmen who had been cast with the magic of forgetfulness and fell into a coma back to the villa.
This incident had a great impact within the Ji family. Even though these dozen people had lost their memories, the fact that the entire city was searching for the child the day before was difficult to cover up, but at least the secret of the shopping street was covered up, and the number of people who knew about it was greatly reduced.
When Ji Feichen left, he looked at the child pitifully, but the child only had eyes for the shop owner.
Lu Budu told him to send his people away, and he didn't need to come again without any other orders.
On the other side, Ji Feirong put on a special bracelet and stepped into the furry shop. The calmness in his eyes gradually collapsed and turned into surprise that could not be concealed.
So that's how it is. No wonder Zhixin and the former messenger of God were willing to stay here.
This is not just a dilapidated street; it is the supreme divine realm that the Ji family has been pursuing for thousands of years.
Ji Zhixin took Ji Feirong from the octopus room to the coral room, sea urchin room, whale room... and visited them one by one. Then he ordered a table of delicious food, carried the lunch boxes, walked out of the sea along the steps, and arrived at the fishing room.
Ji Feirong took off her coat and shoes and socks, sat on the edge of the pier, soaked her bare feet in the sea water, hugged a large plate of sashimi, and felt the sea breeze with light water vapor blowing towards her face. She sighed comfortably.
The snow outside the store was several inches high, but the fishing room was as warm as early summer. There is no place better than here to relax and recuperate.
Ji Feirong ate something, leaned against a few seals basking in the sun, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
It was already noon when he woke up. Ji Feirong had lunch at the Maorongrong Shop before leaving.
Before leaving, she took the initiative to contact Lu Yao and exchanged contact information, and also applied for a VIP card.
Since this place only welcomes ordinary guests, she will just be a guest and come here occasionally to relax.
Soon, four Ji family members who had memories of the shopping street formed a small group.
Only four people knew the secret that the Ji family was no longer blessed by the gods.
How to guide the tribe members in the future has become a big problem.
They discussed this in the group from time to time, but Lu Yao and Zhizi were unaware of this.
-----
After dealing with Ji’s affairs, Lu Yao and Bu Du returned to the cram school.
Xinxin brought Zhou Jing here again. This time, he didn't ask to buy the cram school. Instead, he picked a big basket of snacks, a bunch of comic books, and booked a glass tea room to kill time.
Lu Yao just ignored her.
Bai Yi and Sang Li discussed it and sent the tutoring plan to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao adjusted the key and approved it.
Bai Yi formally tutors Sang Li.
Because the tutorial center registered an official account, Huo Jiao was officially hired.
His current job mainly involves running the official P account, posting messages, answering fans’ questions, and monitoring tutoring, but he can only take over after he finishes tutoring.
The person who made an appointment for tutoring in the afternoon was No. 52 from the Institute, and was still received by Lu Yao.
No. 52 came alone this time and brought Lu Yao a piece of finger bone.
Lu Yao lowered his eyes and stared at the finger bones in the sterile box. "Whose bones are these?"
No. 52 smiled gently. "Don't worry, the researcher who took care of me before is no longer with us. His body is kept at the institute. I submitted an application for its use. It comes from a legitimate source."
Lu Yao looked at No. 52 suspiciously: "..."
No. 52's expression remained unchanged.
Lu Yao did not use it directly. He took out his mobile phone and prepared to contact the research institute. He tapped on several names, from Xiaomei, Zheng Siyao to An Yan, and finally chose to contact An Yan and Xiaomei.
She had an instinctive trust in A, but it would be more comprehensive to have more references to obtain intelligence.
Five minutes after the message was sent, Lu Yao received a reply from Xiao Mei, confirming that the bones brought by No. 52 had been applied for.
Ten minutes later, An Yan also replied that the bones were indeed taken out with permission.
Lu Yao looked at the bones in front of him again, and his mood was still complicated.
First contact with dead bones.
The experimental subjects in the Super Power Research Institute are not limited to those with numbered super powers. The researchers are actually also experimental subjects.
Lu Yao took the bone and walked into the laboratory, ready to add it to No. 52's spiritual key.
There is an extra circle of thin white lines on the completed heart key, which is the life record of another person.
Lu Yao's office outside is next to the main entrance of the laboratory, behind Bai Yi's office.
The store was undergoing maintenance last night, and she kept the main body of the time machine Alfred in the laboratory.
Today every tutor has a figurine of Alfred in his or her office, all of them are replicas.
The replicas retain the functions of time travel and tutoring, but each one is only valid for three months.
It must be replaced every three months.
The information obtained by the replica will be absorbed and saved by the original body.
The key was inserted into the keyhole, and the dazzling silver light enveloped the two of them. When they opened their eyes again, the surrounding environment changed, and they returned to the research institute where they were last time.
Unlike before, because new information has been incorporated, this time No. 52 can take Lu Yao out.
They left their original institute and spent four hours traveling from the original institute to another city and arrived at a new institute.
Standing in front of the gate of the institute, a glimmer of understanding flashed in No. 52's eyes. It turned out that they finally came here.
Lu Yao and No. 52 put on the transparent stickers again and swaggered into the Super Power Research Institute in Black Cat City.
I don’t know if it’s because the internal structure of the institute is similar, or for some other reason, but No. 52 seems to be very familiar with this place. He took Lu Yao to search from the 3rd floor. He didn’t find anyone on the 3rd to 6th floors, so he searched from the 9th, 8th, and 7th floors, but still didn’t find anyone. Finally, he went down from the 2nd floor to the basement floor.
No. 52 went from being full of expectations at the beginning to being full of confusion.
"I asked him, how come this researcher who last contacted my parents was not the first one to have any clues?"
No. 52 began to doubt life.
Lu Yao continued to search for information on the second floor underground.
Much of the research institute's information is not entered into the database but is kept in paper form in the basement.
The entire second underground floor is a huge database. Lu Yao searched according to the instructions on the sign and coaxed the system to help filter out keywords.
It took half an hour for Lu Yao to get five documents in his hands. He opened them one by one, flipped through them, and finally picked out two.
“I think I found it.”
No. 52's heart skipped a beat and he took the thick brown paper file bag.
There was no name on the file bag, only the subject number.
A brown paper bag records the entire life of an experimental subject.
At least, this is all his life experiences since he became an experimental subject.
Starting from No. 52, I read through it patiently with great curiosity, but as I turned the pages, I found that they were just experimental records one after another, and my speed became faster and faster towards the end.
I flipped through my father's records and found the death record at the end.
For no particular reason, during the experiment, the male subject's body reached its limit and he died instantly.
No. 52 put down the paper bag expressionlessly and picked up another file bag.
The records of the female experimental subject began to become rich after she became pregnant, with data recorded every day during her pregnancy.
But that's all.
No. 52 continued to flip forward and saw the death record.
The female subject died half a year later than the male subject.
According to the previous delivery date, No. 52 was just one year old when she left.
No. 52: "I guessed they were gone. Actually, it's nothing. I haven't seen them since I was a child."
Lu Yao silently handed him a yellowed piece of paper.
No. 52 reached out and took it, looking confused.
Lu Yao: "Maybe it's the words she left for you."
The piece of paper was a bit hard, and there was half a piece of printed text on the back, like a label torn from some reagent bottle.
This note was placed in the female subject's file bag. It was probably put in there by the researcher later.
It fell out when Lu Yao opened the file bag.
The handwriting on the piece of paper was messy and thin, and was written densely and for a long time.
"My memory is getting worse and worse. After receiving reagent No. 27, my health is getting worse and worse. I am in a coma most of the time. They said that after the next experiment, they will let me see the baby. But I don't want to see him. As soon as I finish the next reagent experiment, the baby will be sent to the community care center. This is our agreement with the institute. Although No. 135 and I will not be by his side at that time, at least he will not have a number..."
There are a few more lines of text at the end, but unfortunately they are so messy that they are unrecognizable.
No. 52 leaned against the file rack. His legs and feet suddenly lost strength and he slowly slid down. He raised his hand to touch his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Strange, why do my eyes hurt so much..."
The number written on the female experimental subject's data is 292.
From the contents on the piece of paper combined with the records in the file bag, she did not survive the next reagent experiment.
Lu Yao helped No. 52, who was in a trance, up, as the time was almost up.
After returning to the Childhood Tuition Center, No. 52 was still in a daze.
Lu Yao sat opposite, waiting for him quietly.
About half an hour later, No. 52 suddenly woke up, looked up at Lu Yao, and was surprised to find that he had returned.
He raised his hand to wipe his eyes again, and suddenly felt something. In his other hand, he was still holding the yellowed piece of paper.
"This is… "
Lu Yao: "It often happens that students receive special gifts during their tutoring."
A gift completely different from the commemorative medals handed out by the childhood cram school.
The emotions that No. 52 had tried hard to calm down surged up again when he saw this piece of paper.
He didn't bother to tidy up, and stood up and said, "Thank you for your tutoring. I want to go home today."
Lu Yao got up and went out. Bai Yi and Sang Li next door seemed to have just finished their first tutoring session.
Xie Molin was on the phone, his face looking serious.
After a while, he hung up the phone, turned around and saw Lu Yao: "Shopkeeper."
Lu Yao: "What's the matter?"
Something happened at the research center where Xie Molin used to work. Experimental subjects died one after another, as if it were some kind of infectious disease that could not be stopped.
Since he left, things have only gotten worse.
Today, they finally couldn't help but call, and Xie Molin also wanted to go back and check the situation.
He asked Lu Yao for leave.
Lu Yao approved his leave and couldn't help but think of the tutoring session on No. 52 just now.
This world is more complicated than she imagined.
On one hand, there are large-scale experiments that destroy humanity, and on the other hand, there is a group of people trying their best to save the damaged experimental subjects.
As soon as Xie Molin asked for leave, Bai Yi and Sang Li came out of the office.
Lu Yao was talking to Bu Du. He looked up when he heard the voice and noticed that both of them looked unhappy: "Is the tutoring going well?"
Sang Li was silent.
Bai Yi nodded.
"What's the problem? Tell me about it." Lu Yao said.
Lu Yao had read Bai Yi's tutoring plan, the main contents of which included clarifying the truth of the incident, restoring Sang Li's reputation to the greatest extent possible, and helping Sang Li avoid the continuous malicious bullying.
The entire tutoring process went smoothly without any mistakes.
At the end of the tutoring, Sang Li graduated successfully and maintained sincere and beautiful friendships with her classmates.
But after the tutoring ended, Bai Yi got Alfred's tutoring evaluation, which determined that the tutoring was a failure.
Even after Sang Li's memory recovered, she was still not satisfied with the tutoring results.
Bai Yi was confused and frustrated. After repeated discussions with Sang Li, he still couldn't find a breakthrough, so he had to come to Lu Yao.
After reading Alfred's report, Lu Yao looked up at Sang Li.
There is no problem with the plan and the tutoring process, so the problem probably lies with the tutor.
Sang Li looked indifferent: "It's too childish to tutor children like they are playing house."
Bai Yi looked embarrassed.
Lu Yao patted her soothingly.
Sang Li: "I have no memory of the tutoring period. After I came back, my memory was restored. I felt sick to my stomach when I thought about how I had begged for mercy from the perpetrators during the tutoring period. I don't care what they think or say. I just want them to stay away from me and not appear in my world again."
As Sang Li spoke, her cold face gradually became lively and there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes.
It seems that the tutoring goals are not coordinated well.
The misunderstanding in middle school has completely changed Sangli's cognition, affecting her views on life, friends, and various relationships.
This result occurred because Bai Yi's tutoring only touched the surface and did not go deep into the customers' hearts.
Ultimately, Childhood Tutoring is not about doing the absolutely right thing, but about listening to our guests and weaving an experience that lives up to expectations but also carries real weight.
Just like when Lu Yao gave Xu Xiaoxiao tutoring in the beginning, if there hadn’t been that real-life news, the effectiveness of the entire tutoring would have been greatly reduced.
Sang Li's expectation is not to resolve misunderstandings, nor to maintain a seemingly beautiful and fragile relationship with her classmates.
Lu Yao thought for a while, looked at Sang Li and said, "I understand your idea. We will readjust the tutoring plan. As an apology, the next tutoring will not be charged any fees."
Sang Li was not sure whether Lu Yao really understood her, but being gazed at by those clear and gentle eyes, her irritability gradually subsided, and she chose to compromise reluctantly.
After Sang Li left, Bai Yi was still depressed.
Lu Yao patted her on the shoulder and hinted that she should go talk to Xu Xiaoxiao.
In order to protect the privacy of his guests, Lu Yao never discloses the information of other tutors.
But if Xu Xiaoxiao is willing to talk to Bai Yi about her tutoring experience, Bai Yi should be able to understand this job better.
-----
late at night.
Sanhua City, Super Energy Research Institute.
X sat on his bed, holding a yellowed piece of cardboard in his hand.
No. 52 stood by the door, with astonishment still in his eyes: "Are you sure the owner is a powerless person? But she did take me through time and space."
After he came back, he couldn't get over the cram school for a long time. The more he thought about it, the emptier his heart felt, until it became a dull pain.
135 and 292.
In the end, they didn't even leave their names.
They also wouldn't know that he still had a number and lived the same life as they once did.
X stroked the edge of the paper with his fingertips, his eyes full of interest. "I am sure she is powerless, but the things you brought back are not fake. I am becoming more and more interested in her."
No. 52: “What should we do next?”
X: "I want to see her."
