[Adam’s POV!]
.
.
My clone took my place as Wesker, while here I was standing in this empty room, recalling all the memories I had received from the clone.
Everything he has done for the past few months, all the memories from the travels appeared in my mind. And while I could have ignored the non-important ones, I still looked through all of them.
[Personal Space!]
Entering the space, I began looking through the memories one by one. Since they were just memories, I looked through them at about 10 times faster. It still took over 10 days though as I was thorough on some parts more than others. But since it didn’t take much time in the outside world, it wasn’t much trouble.
And going through the memories of the last few hours, especially what happened just before my clone called me, my eyes turned a bit more serious than before.
‘An angel appeared, huh? Is it a variable because of my interference with the timeline, or something like that happened but went unnoticed among the players?’ I thought as I closed my eyes since it was an event that could lead to a potential [Rare Quest!].
“Well. Whatever happens, we would be able to look at it more properly once we know the entire situation better,” I thought as I stood up, and then moved out of the [Personal Space].
And from there, I knocked on the door, calling,” Geralt.”
The door opened as Geralt stood there with his eyes concentrated on me as he asked,
“Did you finish what you were doing?”
His eyes looked in the room behind me, trying to figure out what I had just done. But because I had removed all the traces, the room seemed pretty normal to him. Which made him even more curious as he looked at me.
“Yes. Let’s go back,” I spoke as I walked back towards the room where that child, Rheiner Hamilton, was. Geralt kept staring at the room for a few more seconds before he started walking behind me as well.
“You sure are weird,” he said as he looked at me, while I just smiled and answered,” I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“Thank you,” he said with a warm smile as I nodded with a small smile before answering,” you can save that until I save him.”
We both reached the room where Aisha was standing in front of Rheiner, who was gazing out the window as his eyes seemingly lost in search of someone.
“How are you feeling?” I asked, while I checked the slight aura around the room. It truly belonged to that [Sin of Lust!]. At least I have a lead to check.
“Lost,” this love-struck idiot didn’t seem like he was going to be much of a help though. Hmmm… I should still try getting something out of him, though.
“Is that so? I can help you find her. But can you first tell me the description of that angel? I can’t promise much… but I promise a conclusion will be reached,” I spoke my thoughts first.
Can I save that angel? Probably not. Can I help her? That’d be difficult after that taboo. Can I find her? I guess I can.
Will she be alive by the time I find her? I don’t know.
But since finding her is as important for me as for this child, I guess, reaching a conclusion is something I can do… No, it’s something that is a must for me. This variable… I don’t think I have enough liberty to let it go.
“A Conclusion? Hmmm… that seems sad to hear. But if you can give that much, then… This city will be forever indebted to you. As the next lord of this city, I can promise you that much,” Rheiner spoke as he looked at me with a deep look.
‘The heck with that expressionless look! It’s giving me the creeps!’
I was truly feeling chills as he looked at me. Just who is this kid? I should keep an eye out for him as well, I guess.
“Lord-” Geralt was shocked to hear what Rheiner spoke, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Rheiner’s same expressionless look. I could even see a bit of sweat trickling down Geralt’s face.
“What do you remember about her?” I asked again.
“I don’t know,” he answered.
“Where did you see her last time?” I asked him.
“I don’t remember,” he answered.
“Do you remember anything related to that?” I asked again.
“Only that I must help her,” he answered.
“…”
“…”
Is he for real…?
“Sigh. Let’s start from another point.” It didn’t seem like I was going to get to know anything about that angel from him, so I gave up on that. For now, let’s focus on things we can,
“What do you remember about the sin of lust?” I asked again.
“Sin of lust?” He questioned.
“The Mermaid Queen?” I asked.
“Queen Meria?” He asked, confused.
“Iris,” I corrected him as she was the former Queen of Mermaids.
“The Former Queen? What about her?” He seemed even more confused than before. And I closed my eyes with slight exhaustion. This was going nowhere.
“That old woman. The one who enchanted you?” I asked again, not giving up yet.
“Enchanted?” He was confused again.
“…”
“…”
“What do you remember?” I asked, as I narrowed my eyes at him.
“Umm… I… don’t remember,” he spoke again as he looked at me.
For a few seconds, I thought he could be lying, but…
[Description: …He partially lost his memories and part of his emotions by looking at a creature he wasn’t supposed to look…]
His status has added description here. So I guess that’s why he’s like this?
I mean, after the angels descended in cataclysm, there were multiple NPCs who could see and interact with them, but nothing like this happened. I guess things would have been different when the taboo wasn’t lifted?
But if everyone started losing their memories after meeting her, doesn’t that mean that no one would be able to tell me about her? This makes things quite hard.
“Josh?” Geralt spoke, as he seemed to be even more worried than before. I sighed before turning to my next lead that I have,
“Aisha. Would it be all right if you take me to the place where the scammer was?”
Let’s not search for the angel for now. It would be better to look for someone who actually has answers in this situation, someone like the [Sin of Lust!]. Plus, I really want to meet Iris too.
“That scammer? He should be in the black market… or was,” Aisha replied, and I nodded before standing up and then looking at Geralt.
“Can I ask you a small favor? Using that spell cost me quite a bit… would it be alright if I sleep for a while? About 30 minutes should be fine.”
He looked at me surprised, but then recalling the magic that I did; he seemed to have understood and then nodded.
I then turned back to Aisha as I continued,” you should take rest too. It’s going to be a very long day,” and then walked towards a room where I could [Save] in the [Save Slot 2], that I received in this new beta update.
