In a cave deep in the mountains, Ma Xianhong woke up faintly, staring at the uneven rock wall above his head with a confused expression.

"Uh...where am I?"

His memory still remains of the battle with the temporary workers that night...but according to his last memory, he should have been defeated and captured.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little vigilant, and stood up to take stock of the situation in the cave.

Is there no one? Moreover, his body and movement are not restricted in any way. Even his injuries have been treated, and he does not seem to be treated like a prisoner.

"Are you awake? Xianhong."

Ma Xianhong suddenly looked up at the entrance of the cave, and saw a middle-aged woman with fair skin and short peach-colored shoulder-length hair walking in.

"Sister!" The person who came was none other than the legendary Sister Ma, Qu Tong!

Seeing Qu Tong's appearance, Ma Xianhong instantly understood that Qu Tong must have rescued him, otherwise, he would have been in the prison of Nadutong Company by now.

Qu Tong said: "How do you feel? You were seriously injured this time."

Ma Xianhong raised his hand and made a fist. With just a slight exertion, he felt a dull pain all over his body.

Qu Tong came over and said, "Okay, Xianhong, lie down quickly, and my sister will refresh your mind."

Ma Xianhong's expression changed, and there was a slight look of resistance on his face.

"Are you coming again? Sister, I don't think you need to..."

Qu Tong said in a stern tone: "Be obedient! My sister is doing this for your own good! Trust me!"

Ma Xianhong: "..."

In the end, he did not disobey Qutong and fell back obediently, lying on the stone bed under his seat.

"That's right. Sister will not harm you."

Qu Tong said this, but there was already some worry in his heart.

During this period of time, Ma Xianhong has become more and more out of her control. Not only did he privately invite Lu Zhi to Biyou Village as a guest, but now he feels a bit of resistance and distrust towards himself.

This shows that he has begun to have his own ideas, his subjective consciousness has become more independent, and he no longer follows his own suggestions and arrangements in everything. This is not a good sign.

That's why Qu Tong had to 'sort out' Ma Xianhong's soul and memory again, strengthen his dependence and trust on himself, and at the same time prepare some hidden tricks on him to prevent things from getting to the worst.

"Xianhong, you are now wanted by Nadutong Company, and the whole world is searching for you, so your current identity can no longer be used."

As she spoke, she grabbed Ma Xianhong's arm, raised her hand to touch his five fingers, and the palm prints were close to each other. A wisp of flame-like red innate energy ignited from Qu Tong's five fingers, and Ma Xianhong only felt the sound coming from his fingertips.

There was a burning stinging sensation.

When Qu Tong took back his palm, Ma Xianhong discovered that the fingerprints on his right hand had actually changed!

"Next, it's your face, Xianhong, close your eyes, and leave the next step to your sister. When you wake up again, everything will be fine..."

While Qu Tong was sorting through Ma Xianhong's soul and memory with both hands, she had no idea what was going on in Ma Xianhong's spiritual world.

Ma Xianhong closed his eyes, thinking that this time he would be like before, sleeping unconsciously for several days.

But this time, his spiritual consciousness was extremely clear, and he came to a very magical place. Like God's perspective, he could clearly see the process and appearance of Qu Tong's treatment on him.

"What? Does it feel a little strange?"

"Huh?!" Ma Xianhong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Lu Zhi sitting cross-legged behind him!

"Senior Lu?!"

Lu Zhi nodded to Ma Xianhong, then raised his hand, and scenes like movie clips appeared in this magical space.

"Don't you want to see? What exactly has your 'sister' done to your memory and cognition?" Lu Zhi said.

Ma Xianhong was confused for a moment, and then asked: "Senior! What is going on? Why do you appear here? What is this place?"

"This is naturally your spiritual world, the inside of the sea of ​​consciousness, and why does Pindao appear here... That's because Pindao has previously planted a secret method in your body. As long as someone touches your body,

The soul and memory, the secret method will be activated, activating this poor Taoist's spiritual consciousness."

Ma Xianhong still couldn't fully understand it, but that didn't stop him from figuring out the whole thing.

"So, senior, you used some means on me, right?"

The look on his face was very ugly. After all, it would definitely not be a comfortable experience to have someone leave something hidden on his body without him knowing it.

And more importantly, he also heard the second meaning of Lu Zhi's words, that is, Qu Tong was also using some means to manipulate his soul and cognition!

Although he didn't want to believe what Lu Zhi said in his heart, he had already vaguely realized that Qu Tong might have done something to his memory and cognition.

In response to his question, Lu Zhi just asked: "Yes, Pindao did secretly do something to you, but... didn't Xianhong yourself agree to this?"

Ma Xianhong was stunned for a moment, and then a memory suddenly came back to his mind.

He and Lu Zhi had already talked about this matter before Biyou Village was attacked by temporary workers.

Because Lu Zhi had found him at that time and told him frankly that his soul and cognition seemed to have been artificially modified.

There is no need to go into too much detail about what happened next... Late one night half a month later, Ma Xianhong finally found Lu Zhi alone and asked him for help to see if he could restore his memory.

After all, the main reason why he was controlled by Qu Tong and followed her advice to refine the self-cultivation furnace was to use the power of the self-cultivation furnace to restore his memory and find the murderer who harmed his Ma family!

But now that he thought about it, his amnesia was too coincidental and deliberate. In his own heart, he had already been vaguely suspicious of Qu Tong.

If Lu Zhi had not mentioned this matter, he might not have noticed it, and would have subconsciously denied it when he had doubts about Qu Tong by chance.

But Lu Zhi's words planted a seed of doubt in his heart, making him care more and more... Things like lies and deception cannot withstand scrutiny.

Half a month was enough for Ma Xianhong to get rid of Qu Tong's spiritual hints to him, and his self-understanding became clearer.

It's just a pity that his most important memory about his family has been completely wiped out by violence, and even his soul has been somewhat traumatized by it.

So even Lu Zhi couldn't help him completely recover his memory. After all, his soul could no longer withstand such drastic measures.

But perhaps precisely because of this, Qu Tong could only use the gentlest means to influence Ma Xianhong's cognition, and did not dare to use drastic means to forcibly brainwash and control him, in case Ma Xianhong couldn't bear it.

And this is the biggest reason why Ma Xianhong has doubts and distrust in Qu Tong. After all, unlike other aliens who have been completely brainwashed and controlled by her, Ma Xianhong is a fragile piece of porcelain, and she does not dare to use too much force.

means to control him.

Then, Lu Zhi gave Ma Xianhong a way, which was to go back to Qu Tong and start investigating from her side.
