But they can never go back to the past.
Xue Xiling frowned slightly and sighed inwardly, are humans really going to go to war with the sea people
At this moment, Gu Ran in the triangular crystal cone suddenly fell into a state of sudden enlightenment.
"Just now, the three-sided crystal cone absorbed Eudora's blood as energy, right?"
"The core of the ruins that can absorb the blood of the mermaids... Could this three-sided crystal cone be the one in the mermaid heritage ruins?!"
"It seems that I should have taken the core of the ruins away, but how did it end up in Lin Fan's hands? Besides suppressing me at the beginning, it not only stopped attacking me later, but I also gained certain authority over it... This situation seems familiar."
"Could it be that this three-sided crystal cone is actually my backup plan?"
Gu Ran suddenly made a surprising guess.
"If there really is a powerful being plotting against me, then as long as I notice it, I will definitely not be willing to be controlled by the 'hands of fate' and will take targeted counterattack measures. So, could my 'amnesia' be related to this? After all, apart from myself, it seems that no one else can make me lose so much memory..."
"I made myself lose my memory, and only retained the memories before and at the beginning of the time travel... No, that's not right, this comic did not exist before I traveled through time!"
Gu Ran felt as if he had found a key to break through the fog, and his heart suddenly beat faster.
"I'm not some failed cartoonist. I came up with this identity myself!"
"Was the purpose to deceive someone? And to make me notice... something?"
Gu Ran frowned slightly, and suddenly a guess came to his mind.
"Since I'm not a cartoonist, there are no so-called male and female protagonists in comics. So what I've drawn my attention to is... the male protagonist of the comics—Lin Fan!?"
Lin Fan brought this triangular crystal cone, and Lin Fan was also the most active person in fighting against himself.
Could it be that Lin Fan was one of his backup plans?!
Thinking of this, Gu Ran's scalp tingled slightly. Even though he was proud of his intelligence, he couldn't really confirm this guess. What kind of intelligence was needed to set up such a long-term plan involving so many powerful people? What kind of means were used
And what kind of existence is he trying to deal with by setting up such a huge plan
He couldn't help but have a tentative idea.
Because of the blood that Eudora spat out, he gained some control over the triangular crystal cone.
And Lin Fan is the apparent owner of this triangular crystal cone, so he must have a connection with this triangular crystal cone.
Treasures of this level usually require either a gene lock that requires a drop of blood to identify the owner, or a soul lock that requires a connection with consciousness, or both.
Thinking of this, Gu Ran tried to feel the connection between himself and the triangular crystal cone. What he didn't expect was that when he felt a very strong connection with the triangular crystal cone, he also felt a trace of connection between the triangular crystal cone and Lin Fan's soul.
Soul lock
Yes, only with the soul lock can Lin Fan make this triangular crystal cone grow or shrink as he wishes, search for enemies and control them at will.
Since it is a soul lock, then...
Lin Fan, who was watching Xue Xiling persuading Eudora, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"ah!"
As his soul began to ache, his body also began to show some problems.
"puff-"
Lin Fan spat out a large mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
However, as he spat out blood, his complexion gradually improved.
The others couldn't help but be shocked.
What's going on
I didn't see anyone attacking him. Could it be that he had some serious hidden injuries and now he couldn't bear it anymore and exploded? !
For a moment, some of the powerful human beings present were worried, while others were secretly happy.
"Zhengzheng Lin, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you hurt?"
"Could it be that someone is attacking us from the dark? I'm going to find this thief and kill him!"
For a moment, those who wanted to show their loyalty showed their loyalty, and those who wanted to show their concern showed their concern. No matter what they thought in their hearts, on the surface, they respected Lin Fan.
Lin Fan shook his hand, confusion on his face.
He himself was also wondering what was wrong with him. Why did his body suddenly seem to have suffered a serious injury and he couldn't bear it anymore and was vomiting blood
After using the warrior's inner vision ability to quickly check his body several times and confirming that there were no major injuries or sequelae, Lin Fanqiang smiled and said, "It's okay, everyone. I was injured when I fought a powerful beast leader during a mission in the Hero Association. I haven't fully recovered yet. Just now, the hidden injury accidentally erupted. But after spitting out this blood, it will be mostly healed. I will be fine after recuperating well in the future."
Although Lin Fan said that he was fine, the other experts were still skeptical.
Really? I don't believe it.
But they still followed Lin Fan's words and flattered him: "Oh, you are really worthy of being Minister Lin. For the sake of the people of the alliance, you don't care about your own health when fighting. Minister Lin should take good care of his health in the future."
Many people said things like this, and Lin Fan nodded in response with a smile.
Since he didn't know what was going on, he might as well use this to gain some political capital. After all, he was really a member of the Hero Association.
Eudora, who was originally in a trance, suddenly raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Ran in the triangular crystal cone with surprise in her eyes.
112. Xue Xiling and Eudora's different feelings towards Gu Ran 4k
"Gu Ran, it was you just now, wasn't it?"
Eudora whispered to herself.
Just after she spat out blood, she felt a vague connection with the triangular crystal cone, but before that she was immersed in pain, sadness and self-loathing and did not notice this connection.
But what Gu Ran did to Lin Fan made her realize this connection.
"Are you venting your anger for me?" Eudora showed a satisfied smile on her cheek, "You must have forgiven me, right?"
In fact, Gu Ran did want to vent his anger for Eudora just now. Although Gu Ran knew that he couldn't go out now, he was also very moved that Eudora risked her life to save him.
Not only Eudora's memory was restored, but also Gu Ran's.
The love between the two was restored at the same time.
But Gu Ran knew that the current situation was more complicated than it seemed, and it was not just what it seemed on the surface - the strong men in the main cities of the Human Alliance were dissatisfied with the brutal rule of him as the chief ruler, and they rose up in rebellion and launched a crusade. They trapped him in a triangular crystal cone and would soon kill him.
There is even greater terror hidden within it, a terror that even he, as the former president, had to avoid and leave backup plans in various ways.
So now is not the time for him to break out, nor is it the time for the two to recognize each other and reconcile.
After thinking about it, Gu Ran decided to give it a try to see if he could convey his thoughts to Eudora again. He didn't want his plan before losing his memory to be ruined, nor did he want Eudora to blame herself unnecessarily and behave irrationally.
"I... never... blame you..."
Eudora's eyes suddenly widened.
Is this voice Gu Ran talking to her
For a moment, Eudora almost burst into tears again.
He doesn't blame me, he never blames me, that's great, that's really great.
"Don't cry... Don't show your weakness... Now is not the time for me to come out... Don't get hurt again... trying to save me..."
Gu Ran spoke out what he wanted to say in a sporadic manner.
Eudora was very surprised at first, but when she heard Gu Ran telling her not to reveal any flaws, she immediately regained her cunning self as the queen and no longer showed any emotion on the surface.
Eudora wanted to continue listening to what Gu Ran had to say, but Gu Ran could no longer convey the message.
"Fortunately, everything that needs to be said has been said. Little Conch has been the queen of the sea for so many years, she should be able to handle the rest of the matter." Gu Ran fell silent and continued to think about this matter.
After waiting for a while, without waiting for Gu Ran's next words, Eudora knew that he would not be able to speak again at this time.
However, Gu Ran was able to pass the message out twice in succession, which meant that it was possible for him to continue to pass the message out in the future. This made Eudora feel infinite joy in her heart.
As long as she could continue to stay here, she would have the opportunity to continue hearing what Gu Ran said to her, and might even be able to see Gu Ran escape from trouble, and she could help Gu Ran at that time.
So, she must continue to stay here.
Various thoughts flashed through Eudora's mind in an instant, and she came up with a plan.
"Principal Xue, what you said makes sense. Since Gu Ran wants to die and repent for his mistakes, and I can't break this triangular crystal cone, then I... will obey his wishes and give up..."
Eudora turned around and looked at Xue Xiling who was persuading her, and agreed with difficulty.
Xue Xiling felt relieved. It seemed that her persuasion just now had worked. If the Queen of the Sea Clan could take a step back, then the war between humans and the sea clan could be avoided.
"Your governance has indeed reached the point where God and people are hated. Even your former lover has given up on you..." Xue Xiling thought to herself.
She actually didn't know whether Gu Ran really wanted to "confess", but that didn't stop her from using this reason to convince the Queen of the Sea Clan and give her a way out.
As for herself, her feelings were actually very complicated, but even if Gu Ran repented now, she would not agree to let him out.
People must be responsible for the mistakes they make. Even if the gods forgive them, those who have been hurt by them cannot forgive them.
As the president of the Human Alliance, Gu Ran has caused countless deaths because of him, and countless wronged souls are hovering over the major cities.
It is impossible to forgive him just because he repented before his death.
This is how Xue Xiling convinced herself.
However, what Xue Xiling did not expect was that Eudora did not care at all about how many people Gu Ran had killed when he was the president of the Human Alliance.
