Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 1707

Chapter 1709 - Moon Invitation

Chapter 1709: Moon Invitation

Translator: La0o9

It was midnight.

Moonlight faintly illuminated the world.

The courtyard was silent.

Gu Qing Shan picked up the black orchid on his window sill and carefully examined it.

Lines of bloody red text quickly appeared in the void of space:

[Unique item: Reincarnation Gloom Orchid] [Before the breaking of the Samsara, it was a Divine Relic of the Tianma tribe, as well as an object unique to the Wraith realm] [As you are the only Chosen Saint of the Wraith Realm, when you obtain this Reincarnation Gloom Orchid, you would receive the utmost level of recognition by the Samsara and communicate with the outside world on behalf of the Samsara] [Attention: This was a Divine Relic from before the Samsara was broken. When the Samsara was broken, it was unexpectedly preserved and became a loophole within the Samsara] [You’ve received a unique type of authority: Moon Invitation] [With this authority, you are capable of summoning outsiders into any world within the Samsara] [You may only use Moon Invitation once per day] [Attention: No matter what kind of entity you invite, they will lose their powers the same as other Samsara living beings, only retaining one of their original abilities] [The invited entity will remain one full day within the Samsara before they must return]

After Gu Qing Shan finishing reading this, two new lines of text appeared in the void of space:

[You may now use ‘Moon Invitation’ to temporarily awaken the slumbering individuals connected to the Sequence] [You may only invite one person each time]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through everything and appeared a bit confused.

Awaken? Invite? But who will I awaken? And who am I inviting? ——without knowing anything at all, what can I actually do?

He stood next to the window sill for a long while before finally shaking his head: “I can’t keep going like this…”

Even if I can’t use swords and have temporarily lost my strength, I need to at least recover my memories. But how should I recover my memories?

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking this, he saw two more lines of text floating in the void of space:

[Sneaking through had caused the Sequence to temporarily lose all of its power, it cannot help you regain your memories] [If you can do more of what you’ve frequently done in the past, your memories will very quickly recover] 1

Do what I’ve frequently done in the past… I’ve already forgotten my past, so how would I know what I frequently did?

Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly before picking up the bow and arrow on the table.

Walking onto the courtyard, he nocked an arrow and fired.

Shu!

The arrow flew rapidly through the air and was plunged deeply into a tree.

Gu Qing Shan maintained his firing posture for a bit, then shook his head and returned inside to look for some utensils to cook.

——compared to archery, I seem to be more familiar and more experienced with cooking.

He made some porridge, soup, a few side dishes, noodles, and some manju, each of which allowed him to regain the memory of a few people.

However, there were only some scenes of rest and relaxation, very few scenes outside of him eating either alone or with others could be recalled.

“So the girl from earlier was called Li An…”

Gu Qing Shan thought to himself.

I’ve regained some of my memories as well as the majority of my acquaintances. But I still can’t remember a lot of things.

He made a bit more food, but no new memories resurfaced.

—–perhaps I should try doing something else?

At this point, some light could already be seen reflecting across the sky.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the huge table of food and sighed: “This will be hard”

I couldn’t remember a lot of things through cooking. This had proven a certain fact—– That cooking wasn’t something that I was most familiar with. Then what exactly did I do the most frequently in the past?

Gu Qing Shan crossed his arms and wracked his brain trying to think.

But the sound of knocking could be heard from outside that cut off his thoughts.

Officer Liu has arrived.

Gu Qing Shan opened the door to let him in, shocking him with the amount of food prepared.

“Say, brother Gu, did you make all of this?” Officer Liu asked.

“I did. This is a hobby of mine, so I used to cook a lot——– come eat with me, otherwise, it’ll just go to waste” Gu Qing Shan said and casually handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Officer Liu suddenly felt hungry.

He sat down and started with a manju, then had half a bowl of porridge, then was unable to stop himself.

Since both of them were martial art practitioners, they naturally ate a lot more than normal people and quickly finished ten manju, two bowls of noodles, four bowls of porridge, a portion of soup, as well as various other side dishes—- each.

The meal was over.

Officer Liu stood up with a satisfied expression and praised: “Brother Gu, if you had gone to the city and opened a restaurant earlier, you would have definitely been able to earn enough for yourself”

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit dejected.

Cooking is certainly a joyful thing to do, but it was unfortunate that he couldn’t recall more things by it, otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate to open a restaurant.

“Let’s go, the County Magistrate wants to see you first thing in the morning”

“Let’s go”

The two of them went out and headed along the path straight towards the county administration office.

On the way there, Officer Liu recalled what he ate just now and felt that they were a bit too well-made.

Why would someone who came from a secluded village know how to cook such a feast?

Feeling suspicious, he couldn’t help but ask: “Brother Gu, who did you learn cooking from?”

Gu Qing Shan answered without hesitation: “There was an old man from my village that I got along well with. In the end, I was the only one at his deathbed, so before he passed away he gave me a cookbook. Whenever I had nothing to do, I’d study and follow its instruction, slowly getting more skillful that way”

Officer Liu hesitated to ask further.

That person is already dead. Wouldn’t I have to ask for the name of a dead person? Wouldn’t that offend him? But if I don’t ask, how would anyone know which old man died? There’s always a few people who die every year in any village, so without knowing when exactly he died or his name, how would I check? …Alright, this isn’t anything big, it’s not worth it.

With that in mind, Officer Liu put this thought to the back of his head.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained unchanged, still smiling as he continued walking.

Suddenly——

His eyebrows slightly twitched, trying his best to maintain a calm expression. 1

In his mind, various visions rapidly flashed through.

They were all things that had occurred in the past.

——-memories! A lot of my memories are returning!

Gu Qing Shan was shaken.

I didn’t do anything at all, so why did I recover so many memories?

As he thought that, the visions in his mind slowly became blurred again.

——-it wasn’t enough! I still need to continue doing something to help my memories recover.

Gu Qing Shan maintained his calm and began to seriously think about this.

If I would only recover my memories… by doing things that I frequently did in the past… Then what was I doing just now?

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly.

That’s right. I was deceiving Officer Liu just now. In other words, what I did the most frequently in the past was——- Deceiving people?

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

——someone like me. That’s really——

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit speechless, then suddenly spoke up: “Old Liu, the county city sure is prosperous, my village would definitely not have as many people as this”

“Ahaha, of course, this place is the safest region for several hundred miles around us” Officer Liu answered.

“But there’s a few unusual things in our village that the city doesn’t have” Gu Qing Shan continued.

“Oh? What’s that?” Officer Liu asked.

“Whenever it gets dark in the village, some wandering ghosts and wraiths would come out”

“Wandering ghosts and wraiths? I haven’t heard much about them… so there are some around your village?”

“There really are——– if you just find a small path in the mountain forest at night and try to head deeper into dark places, you would be able to meet those ghosts. Ah, but you have to be careful, since those who saw them would usually die” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Ghosts and wraiths… what are they like?” Officer Liu mused and asked.

Gu Qing Shan said: “I’ve only ever seen one wraith. It was back in winter in the middle of the night, when I was going up the mountain to collect some firewood, I suddenly saw a wraith in the middle of a barren grass field”

“…Was it really a wraith?”

“Yeah”

“How do you know it was a wraith? Maybe it was someone out to chop wood like you were?”

“It was a wraith, everyone in our village knows about this wraith since it was a man-eating wraith. If it doesn’t find people to eat, it will keep wandering around. Anyone who saw it would suddenly become paralyzed, which will give the wraith a chance to jump onto and devour them”

Officer Liu was unconvinced: “That’s strange, if you saw that wraith, how did you survive?”

Gu Qing Shan explained: “I’m not a very curious person, and I’ve heard about this wraith before, so when I was walking by the grass field, I didn’t stop to look”

“So you saw it at that time?”

“That’s right, it was pushing a cart around the grass field, mumbling or muttering something under its breath”

“It was pushing a cart?”

“Yeah, the cart was full of black things that gave off a really foul smell, it gave me a really bad headache”

“So you ran away immediately when you saw that?”

“In truth, seeing it would make you become paralyzed right away and you would start approaching it out of curiosity, I was no exception”

“…Then you actually got close to it?”

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “Yeah, I only managed to regain my senses at the very last moments. At that time, its face was literally centimeters away from mine, it almost managed to catch me too, I could even hear what it was muttering”

Officer Liu’s neck shrunk a bit and asked: “What was it muttering?”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly lowered his voice and started to speak in a kind of unclear whisper: “My… my head one step cold shear”

“What does that mean?” Officer Liu doubtfully asked.

“I don’t know, maybe some sort of beheading hex? It was a good thing that I ran away fast enough that I managed to survive until I reached the county city” Gu Qing Shan said with a tone of relief.

Officer Liu was breathing a bit heavily and wiping some cold sweat him his forehead: “That’s good, that’s good, since you’re already here now, there’s no need for you to return to the mountain village, we’re safe here”

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

After that short intermission, he had sensed familiarity unlike never before and regained countless memories, enough for him to remember almost everything.

Aside from matters related to the Samsara, he had remembered essentially everything.

While reorganizing his memories, Gu Qing Shan was also considering how he should regain the rest of his memories as well.

At this point, they arrived at the county administration office.

Confirming their statuses with the guards, they entered to see the County Magistrate. 1
