Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 219 The Non-Existent Person (6)

Soon after, the three girls sat around a small wooden table in Dolly's living room, where freshly brewed tea and delicious snacks were laid out.

This is a freshly picked tea from Liyue's Jade Valley, called Songluo Fairy Bud. Most importantly, it's half price for ten boxes.

"Hmm, today is indeed a good day. The Huma family has a distinguished guest at their door. Is there some big business to discuss?"

Dolly composed herself, cheerfully picked up the teapot, poured tea for the two guests in front of her, and made some teasing remarks.

It's rare to see the young ladies from the Humayi family go out.

Dina Zede sighed helplessly, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and a bitter smile appeared on her delicate face.

"Alright, Dolly, stop teasing us. We've come here on serious business."

The young girl was slightly taken aback. If it wasn't a business collaboration, what else could be considered a serious matter?

A sense of curiosity arose within her, and she suppressed the restless purple spirit of the town beside her back into the pot, resting her chin on her hand as she waited for the next part to continue.

However, the girl's nonchalant expression quickly turned serious, and her demeanor became earnest.

"Someone has tampered with our memories..."

Dolly murmured to herself, suddenly recalling the contract whose name had been inexplicably erased, and the creditor who had searched the entire world but could not find a trace of her.

That's not all... there's something else.

The girl looked at the silver bracelet on her left wrist; the translucent light purple gemstone was shimmering softly.

All the expensive rings and bracelets that she used to wear have disappeared, making way for this amethyst bracelet that doesn't seem particularly rare.

She only remembered that it was a gift from a very important person, but... who was that person?

If their memories have been altered, then everything makes sense.

"There's only one possibility left now. If I can find that bastard, I'll make him regret it!"

Unlike Dinazede, Dixia didn't have a good temper. The angry little lion gulped down a mouthful of tea, muttering unsatisfied curses in desert slang.

Anyone who dares to toy with the memories of the Fiery Lion should be prepared to suffer 137 minor cuts.

Or perhaps, it's a heartfelt and intimate conversation.

"You guessed right, I'm in the same situation as you, and the problem might be more serious than I thought."

"Why do all these troubles keep coming my way? I just want to earn some Mora to pay off my debts."

Dolly let out a long breath, her pale golden eyes flickering, and she complained helplessly.

The last time was that coup that overthrew Mount Sumeru.

Thinking of this, the girl's expression suddenly froze, and a faint flash of inspiration shot through her mind like an electric current.

Wait a minute, that coup, the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival that has been repeated eight times, seems to have happened exactly five years ago.

Based on the available information, it seems that all their unusual behavior began five years ago...

Both Dina Zede's nightmare and the little dancer Nilu's resistance to performing arose after that incident.

The blank or contradictory parts in their memories all seem to have occurred five years ago, while their memories from the past five years are currently intact.

Is it a coincidence? No, something unusual must be going on.

"You've realized it too, haven't you, Dolly?"

Dina Zede's gaze was more serious than ever before. What secrets were hidden behind that coup?

After all... the events of that year were too horrifying, involving the realm of the gods. Everyone, including the Little Auspicious Grass King and the Great Compassion Tree King, remained silent about it.

Now it seems the truth is not so simple.

Five years ago, with the help of the Little Lucky Grass King, they broke Annie's cycle of reincarnation. The pre-arranged brigade besieged the city, but the thirty-person group defected at the last minute, and everything went smoothly.

Following that, in the battle at the God-Making Workshop, Lord Little Lucky Grass trapped the former Great Sage who had overstepped his divine position in a dream.

The man-made mechanical gods were powerless to fight back, and the battle of the gods ended with an overwhelming victory.

Then came the return of the Great Tree King, the dissolution of forbidden knowledge, and the collapse of the Demon Scale Disease and the Dead Zone.

But is the truth really what they see?

Or rather... is it really as I remember it...?

Aside from the somewhat oblivious mercenary girl, Dina Zede and Dolly both felt a chill creeping down their spines.

"Before we came, we had already visited Mr. Kave, Mr. Elhesen, Mr. Seno and Nilu, and also wrote a letter to Mr. Tinari, who was far away in Dawsonlin."

"Without exception, they all showed the same symptoms as us, and all had varying degrees of memory gaps."

Dina Zede looked worried, her fingers unconsciously clenching the teacup, her expression grave.

"Mr. Ehrlich proposed that, considering all the 'gaps' in our memories, they all seem to be related to a 'person who doesn't exist in our memories.'"

"If this conjecture is correct, then who exactly is he? And why did he disappear?"

"Furthermore, what is the connection between this 'person not in our memories' and the turmoil five years ago?"

A series of questions hit the nail on the head, and the sharp analysis went straight to the heart of the problem, and silence fell around the small table.

Yes, perhaps finding that person, that person who doesn't exist, will give us all the answers.

But this is precisely the beginning of all the problems.

It has no name, no appearance, and leaves almost no trace of it.

Based on mere conjecture and speculation, does such a "non-existent person" really exist?

"Let's go to the Adventurers' Guild and find Miss Catherine first."

Dolly pondered for a moment and then offered her suggestion.

"The Adventurers' Guild is a mixed bag, and you might find unexpected gains there. Just like the way to earn Mora, opportunities often lie hidden in inconspicuous places."

"Even if we don't have any clues, we still need to recruit some adventurers to check the list of missing persons in recent years in the Void Terminal."

The girl's suggestion was quickly agreed upon by the two, and the three split up. Dina Zede took Desia to gather their companions, while Dolly set off for the Adventurers' Guild.

"A person who doesn't exist"... It must be very sad if someone is truly forgotten by everyone.

Not to mention, he seems to be a very important person.

Hopefully, this time, we can successfully find you.

……

As the girls were taking their own actions, a carriage slowly drove into Sumeru City.

The carriage stopped, and a hand lifted the curtain first, revealing a young man wearing a crow's beak mask and a cloak.

"Ms. Farussan, we have arrived. Please come in."

Her elegant movements were flawless. Farusan stepped down from the carriage, her gaze complex as she looked at the enigmatic smile on the face of the Second Executive of the Fools.

What exactly does he want...? Is he just going to send me back to Sumeru City? When did the Fools become so easy to talk to?

A smile appeared on the "Doctor's" face. This was not surprising, and the reason was simple: he had gotten the answer he wanted from the girl in front of him.

One answer regarding "experiment".

As expected, it seems his preparations were not in vain, which is very exciting for a scholar.

"Goodbye, Ms. Farussan. I have official business to attend to and cannot continue this conversation."

The "Doctor" politely took his leave and boarded the carriage.

The carriage sped away, heading towards the center of the Sacred Tree of Mount Sumeru, the top of the Church, and also the abode of the God of Grass.

Jingshan Palace.
