Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 181

Chapter 181

Hao Jingye handed the tablet to Sheng An, then turned on the camera on his communicator and aimed it at the others, beginning to record.

“The higher-ups want to ask Li Wanyun, Long Tianyu, and Xiao Yu this: do you still remember how you died in your Previous Life?” His expression was serious.

But after he asked, everyone else froze.

Li Wanyun frowned. “What kind of question is that? Haven’t we already talked about this plenty of times?”

The higher-ups had questioned them repeatedly about their Previous Life.

Especially before the Apocalypse. In order to gather information, they had practically asked the same questions a hundred times over.

Hao Jingye’s face remained grave as he stared at her. “This is what the Research Institute wants. Just answer one more time.”

Jiang Yu said, “I was thrown to the Aberrants and died.”

Li Wanyun said, “I was schemed against by the Li Family. They wanted to steal my things. Lou Mingwei and I died together.”

Long Tianyu said, “In Shi City. I died because of the Aberrants’ scheme.”

Aside from Jiang Yu, the other two had both died in the second year of the Apocalypse.

But Hao Jingye asked again, “Specifically? Can you describe it in detail?”

The three of them froze.

The process of dying was not a pleasant memory. Recalling it could even cause a mental breakdown, so although the Nation had asked many times about their Previous Life, it had never once asked about the detailed process of their deaths.

Jiang Yu wanted to say: Of course I was eaten by the Aberrants.

But her mouth opened, then stopped. Confusion flickered in her eyes.

Li Wanyun and Long Tianyu were the same. The two of them looked at each other, both somewhat at a loss.

Hao Jingye sucked in a cold breath.

Then he asked, “You clearly remember that everyone else died at the end of the second year of the Apocalypse. Do you have specific memories of that?”

Li Wanyun and Long Tianyu shook their heads at the same time.

After thinking for a moment, Long Tianyu said, “Li Xin died together with the Aberrants. His whereabouts were unknown, so he was presumed dead. I also heard Wu Buyu died, and…”

“All of it was hearsay?” Qi Lingwu sat up, his sharp eyes fixed on them.

The two thought about it, then hesitantly nodded.

Li Wanyun frowned even harder and murmured, “That’s so strange… Why do I remember they died in the second year of the Apocalypse, but the details are blurry?”

Sheng An’s expression was just as solemn. “Do you remember who told you?”

The two shook their heads.

A moment later, they both inhaled sharply.

Li Wanyun’s expression turned grave. “I’m not sure if I’ve forgotten, but I really don’t remember who told me. I only have that memory-a clear memory.”

In their previous statements, they had all said with certainty when someone had died, but they had never mentioned where the information came from.

Song Linwei shook his head. “No. This is very wrong. If you clearly remember that someone died, it’s unlikely you would forget the source of the information, because you only confirmed that person’s death when you heard the news.

“In other words, that information should be synchronized. The person who told you and the person who died should exist in the same memory scene.”

Gu Qiansheng swallowed, his voice hoarse. “There may be exceptions, but it’s impossible for none of you to remember any of the sources.”

They remembered every piece of information, yet not a single source?

Jiang Yu murmured, “This is so strange. I clearly remember the pain of them torturing me. I remember the danger of escaping from the Aberrants for the first time. I remember later being thrown to the Aberrants by Yu Litian and Chen Jiaojiao… But I can’t really remember the pain of dying?”

At the thought of her Previous Life, Jiang Yu gave a faint smile. “You all discuss this first. Excuse me for a moment.”

With that, she dragged her vines and slipped into her Space Ability.

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu looked at each other. They both saw the gravity in the other’s eyes. With a silent exchange of glances, each understood that the other had come to the same conclusion.
They had never paid much attention to it before. They had suspected there might be something wrong with their memories, but they had never found a point of entry for analysis.

Now, the point of entry mentioned above had appeared-death.

And once they used that as the basis for analysis, there were strange inconsistencies everywhere.

Jiang Yu had clearly died at the hands of Aberrants, yet she had no deathly fear of Aberrants.

In every Previous Life Li Wanyun and Long Tianyu had described for everyone else, no one had a specific death. It was all “I heard,” or blunt statements that someone had died at a certain time. None of them had ever witnessed it with their own eyes.

Long Tianyu had died at the hands of Aberrants as well, and his account had been just as vague.

However, they had not thought there was anything different back then, so they had not questioned him in detail.

Li Wanyun had perished together with Lou Mingwei, and the cause was that Lou Mingwei had robbed her.

That girl held grudges and was no soft-hearted saint, so the first thing she had done after joining the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department was kill the Li Family.

Then Lou Mingwei, who had also robbed her-would she really wipe the slate clean just because they were both members of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, and because she had already taken revenge in her Previous Life?

If she could let it go, the only possibility was that there had not been much genuine hatred there.

The others thought of it too. In an instant, their hair stood on end, a chill coiling around their spines, and they could not help but shudder.

Wu Buyu murmured, “So your memories of the Previous Life really were altered…”

Hao Jingye had already obtained the answer the higher-ups wanted from them.

He put away the camera and sent the video directly to the Research Institute. Then he looked at the stunned group and pushed up his glasses.

“Didn’t we already suspect long ago that your memories had been tampered with? Rather than knowing nothing at all, isn’t it better to have touched upon the truth? Now that the Research Institute has discovered the problem, doesn’t that mean we’re closer to the truth? That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

His words made sense.

Song Linwei exhaled. “That’s true. Knowing is better than not knowing. We’re closer to the truth… No wonder the higher-ups said this was an extremely important conclusion.”

Sheng An handed the tablet to Hao Jingye, withdrew her gaze, and said calmly, “All right. Don’t think about it anymore. Our current mission is the Southwest Region. Since the higher-ups don’t want us to know the truth at this point, then everything can wait until we return from the Southwest.”

The new speculation would not affect their abilities, nor would it affect their mission in the Southwest.

Since the higher-ups had decided not to tell them for now, they would leave it alone for now.

-Once they returned from the Southwest, they would know everything.

Even if she had a guess, she would not say it for the time being.

Song Linwei and the others had many questions, but none of them asked any further.

Li Xin sighed as he ate cherries, lamenting, “That’s true too. If we really uncovered some hair-raising truth, we’d probably spend this whole period on edge.”

Old Man Qin’s hand moved rapidly, grabbing cherries from the basin. As he stuffed them into his own mouth and fed them to Qin Xuan, he spoke around the food, his voice muffled. “What’s the point of knowing so much? Isn’t it better to happily eat cherries?”

Li Xin: “…”

Expressionless, he looked at him. “Sister Yu gave those to me. They’re my reward for working so hard undercover.”

Old Man Qin grabbed another handful and grinned. “Hehehe.”

With a cherry in his mouth, Qin Xuan gave him a bright smile. “Hehehe.”

Li Xin: “…………”

-He finally understood how the Old Priest must have felt when Li Xin had driven him mad.

-They were seriously asking for a beating!!

Sheng An looked ahead and gave the order. “Let’s move out. It’s time for us to pick up the Healing Type Superpower User.”

The Convoy set out, the massive line of vehicles advancing forward and officially entering the Southwest Region.

“We’re in the Southwest.”

Three hours later.

Hao Jingye said, “Sister Sheng, sure enough, we’ve lost the signal.”
