Chapter 249: Doggy's Memories
Chapter 249: Doggy's Memories
Li Wu's words stunned the girl, leaving her standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Li Wu pressed on, "Don't play dumb. I know you're not really amnesiac."
"How could it be such a coincidence that you lose your memory just when you arrive in Fucheng, and Doggy happens to die? And why is there no record of you before coming here? Even my stepmother, the Governor of Jiangnan, couldn't find anything about you after three days of background checks. There are too many abnormalities about you. I suspect you're playing the victim to get close to me."
"Who sent you to approach me? Was it someone from Gutian or Jiangbei? What's your purpose? Is it for the Little Skeleton Phone or something else?"
"I advise you to come clean, or I'll make you suffer."
Li Wu's tone turned fierce, and the already bewildered girl burst into tears.
Tears were a woman's most powerful weapon, especially for those who knew how to use them.
The girl's crying was pitiful, and even the previously stern Li Wu couldn't help but soften.
He had no choice but to let Dudu handle the situation while he scratched his head and left the living room.
However, the moment Li Wu left, he stopped scratching his head, and his expression became calm.
This had been a test by Li Wu, who suspected someone was plotting against him.
If there was indeed someone behind this, the role of this woman in the scheme would be intriguing.
Regardless of her identity, her purpose was undoubtedly clear—to get close to him.
Otherwise, her presence made no sense.
By voicing his suspicions, Li Wu achieved two goals.
First, he tested the girl and probed for the person behind her.
If there was indeed someone, they would likely react and try to dispel Li Wu's doubts.
Second, Li Wu aimed to send a misleading signal, making others believe he was still suspicious of the girl's identity. They wouldn't suspect that Doggy's necromantic transformation had already reached a certain stage.
Soon, Li Wu would complete Doggy's transformation and possibly obtain the clues from Doggy the clues he needed.
This would allow him to catch his opponents off guard.
"Keep an eye on her!"
After instructing Li Kai to watch the girl, Li Wu returned to his studio and finalized the unfinished plan for Doggy's necromantic transformation.
Once the plan was ready, Li Wu didn't immediately start the transformation. Instead, he took Little Skeleton to inspect the 27 Little Skeletons that had been delivered over the past three days.
There were 27 first-stage evolved and 7 second-stage evolved Little Skeletons, totaling 34 in all. Li Wu quickly scanned them, noticing that 99% of them were Skeleton Warriors.
To be precise, all the first-stage evolved ones were Skeleton Warriors, and the second-stage evolved ones were Bone Knights.
Li Wu didn't hesitate. He ordered Little Skeleton to recruit the 7 Bone Knights as subordinates and began selecting from the 27 first-stage evolved Little Skeletons.
Little Skeleton could recruit 15 subordinates, and it already had 4. On the surface, it could only recruit 11, but in reality, it could manage 13.
Two of them, combined with the original two pigs, could evolve into Steelclad Wild Pig Knights.
Excluding the 7 second-stage evolved ones, Li Wu could choose 6 more.
Considering future deliveries of Skeletons, he only planned to pick 2 more first-stage evolved Skeletons as Riflemen.
He intended to complete the 10-subordinate quota for Little Skeleton's Skeleton Commander evolution first.
After Little Skeleton recruited the 9 new subordinates, Li Wu sent Zhang Wentao a list of supplies he needed.
Once the supplies arrived, Li Wu got to work.
Surprisingly, he wasn't working on the Steelclad Skeleton Knight but on Doggy's necromantic transformation.
Evidently, he was doing this to throw others off his trail.
For Doggy's transformation, Li Wu followed the same routine. He prepared a pot, placed Doggy inside, added the materials, and set up a ritual array outside the pot.
When everything was ready, Li Wu instructed Little Skeleton to use Ghost Fire Spell to ignite the materials in the pot.
As the fire burned, the pot's black and eerie flames illuminated the small cultivation chamber, making it seem eerie.
After a few hours, the flames in the pot extinguished, leaving behind a pristine white Doggy skeleton lying still.
This was the most crucial part of the ritual.
Li Wu approached the pot, took out a vial of fresh blood, and pricked his own skin with a small knife, releasing a drop of his blood. He poured the vial's contents and his blood onto Doggy's skeleton.
As the blood poured in, the ritual was fully activated.
A wave of spiritual energy emerged from Doggy's skeleton, and a faint soul fire appeared within its skull.
With the emergence of the soul fire, Li Wu naturally established a brief soul connection with Doggy, and at the same time, a flood of memories from Doggy flowed into Li Wu's mind.
Li Wu began to see the world from Doggy's perspective.
First, the scene that appeared was the moment Coastal Defense Tower was just built—nothing special about it.
What Doggy knew, Li Wu knew as well.
Next, Li Wu witnessed the situation inside the Heritage Tower.
From this point on, everything that appeared was unknown to Li Wu.
Doggy witnessed Kong Yi's interactions with Lin Jianying, and Li Wu, in real-time, saw Kong Yi's persecution of Lin Jianying.
Li Wu heard Kong Yi's plans for Lin Jianying and what he had done to Dudu.
This made Li Wu furious beyond measure.
Fortunately, it seemed that Kong Yi was killed by the Rich Lady, but before he died, he transformed into a blood light and entered Lin Jianying's body.
After that, the scene shifted outside the Heritage Tower.
In a 16-19-1-9-1-8-1-0 version!
After leaving the Heritage Tower, Li Wu, through Doggy's perspective, discovered that Jiang Yuxing, after sending them home, secretly visited Lin Jianying at night, and not just once, but several times.
The first time was to check on Lin Jianying's body and ask about the 'Gateway' matter.
Doggy didn't hear the specifics clearly as he was tired and fell asleep after listening to a couple of sentences.
The second time was one night when Lin Jianying returned from somewhere, and to Doggy, it seemed like he had turned into a completely different person, especially fierce.
That day, Jiang Yuxing came to visit.
In a dark room, Jiang Yuxing coldly stared at Lin Jianying, "This is the first and last time. If there's a next time, I'll kill you myself!"
The third time they met was the night Lin Jianying told Li Wu he wanted to leave. Jiang Yuxing came to see him and said only one sentence.
"Since you've chosen to leave, don't come back!"
This was the last time Doggy remembered Lin Jianying and Jiang Yuxing meeting.
Upon seeing this, Li Wu immediately understood.
He realized why, despite the Rich Lady's protection, Lin Jianying still encountered trouble, and why, despite his efforts to investigate a woman's identity, he found no news after three days.
The Rich Lady never intended to protect him, let alone find Old Lin.
Perhaps Doggy was even killed by the Rich Lady.
All of this was likely due to Kong Yi's final blood transformation and the 'Gateway' discussed by the Rich Lady and Old Lin.
Unfortunately, Doggy fell asleep at a crucial moment and missed that critical piece of information, which made Li Wu feel extremely distressed, but he had no choice but to follow Doggy's memories.
Following Doggy's memories, Doggy then accompanied Lin Jianying to Quancheng to pay respects to Grandma Li, and then they bought tickets and headed straight for Lingnan.
After that, Lin Jianying encountered the Wu family trio in the Demon Cavern.
Li Wu watched as Lin Jianying was deceived and manipulated by the Wu family.
In the end, Old Lin and the Goblin were trampled to death.
Seeing this, Li Wu's blood boiled with rage.
He wished he could kill the Wu family trio.
Unfortunately, there was nothing Li Wu could do, so he continued following Doggy's memories.
Next, the scene shifted to the segment where Wu Mei mentioned wanting to find him.
This further infuriated Li Wu.
But there was more.
When Wu Mei expressed her intentions, Wu Yong and Li Jing forcefully stopped her.
This woman was crazy, but the other two were not.
They were well aware of the dangers of such an action. If she were to come to Jiangnan and be exposed, the outcome would be fatal.
They believed the safest way to handle the situation was to kill Doggy, dismember him, and make a profit from it.
With Wu Yong and Li Jing's strong opposition, the woman had no choice but to accept her fate.
However, one day after they killed Lin Jianying, a mysterious person suddenly appeared before her, offering her a chance to change her destiny.
The mysterious person whispered something into her ear, and Doggy, hiding in the corner, watched as the woman's expression gradually turned sinister.
Then, a group of people suddenly appeared, capturing the Wu family trio and Doggy, injecting something unknown into Doggy's body."
After that, Doggy fainted, and his memories abruptly ended.
