"Holy crap! What did you do?!"

Zodiac Rabbit hadn't cursed in a long time, but at this moment she couldn't hold back her foul language.

Even though it was just the first meeting and she impulsively put a restriction on this guy, it shouldn't have been broken within just two minutes of conversation, right?

As soon as she finished speaking, the mist vanished instantly, taken back by Wu Liang.

He twisted his neck and asked Zodiac Rabbit, "Can you use this ability against a Fierce Ghost?"

Actually, regardless of whether it can be used on a Fierce Ghost, Zodiac Rabbit's ability is an extremely powerful deterrent, especially when dealing with those troublesome Awakened ones.

Anyone who uses it knows — once used, there's silence!

"No, answer me first, how did you do it?" Zodiac Rabbit was eager to know why her ability was broken so quickly.

Wu Liang just scratched the back of his head, awkwardly saying, "I just felt like there was an extra chain in my mind, and like a thief, I picked the lock with my Spiritual Power."

Zodiac Rabbit: "?"

Professor Guo: "?"

Seeing their stunned expressions, Wu Liang earnestly said, "I'm really good at lockpicking."

Damn! Is lockpicking the key here!?

The two listening felt a toothache, feeling not quite right overall.

But the next second, Professor Guo reluctantly regained some of his "esteemed" composure, coughing as he said, "Well, it's true that such powerful Spiritual Power not collapsing your brain proves you have basic control, so Rabbit, give him the strongest restriction!"

When he said "strongest," Professor Guo clearly emphasized it with a heavier tone.

He realized that this Shadow's Spiritual Power was already overwhelming Zodiac Rabbit too much, and if the restriction wasn't strong enough, it might get "picked" open again in just a few minutes.

In response, Zodiac Rabbit was happy to impose the strongest restriction.

After all, she hadn't gone all out with her abilities in a long time, and on top of that, this guy just called her underage, which was really frustrating!

She cackled wickedly like a villain as she approached, radiating a mischievous aura.

But Wu Liang not only didn't resist the restriction, he was even somewhat looking forward to it.

Not because he could break free quickly without fear.

But because when he broke her Spiritual Power restriction just now, he discovered something new——

When Spiritual Power was restricted, the function of the [Ghost Compendium] seemed to stall a bit, and its forced suppression of his emotions was greatly weakened, even the headache from his missing memory was much alleviated.

This was truly a case of fate!

Perhaps... he could use this Spiritual Suppression this time to unravel some of the mysteries of the [Ghost Compendium] while searching for the insider mentioned by Minister Long!

He must retrieve the missing memory!

Just as he thought of this, Zodiac Rabbit dragged Wu Liang into another closed room inside the testing facility.

Closing the door, Professor Guo and Fu Juan waited outside, while she chuckled maliciously, "Suck it up, the first time might be a bit painful..."

As soon as she said this, her eyes turned sharp, and strange patterns began to appear on her exposed forearms, collarbones, and even her cheeks outside of her pajamas.

Witnessing this, Wu Liang couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of whether they were Awakened or Symbionts, their bodies would exhibit anomalies when using abilities, but only he showed no reaction when using his abilities.

He indeed wasn't one of them.

The secrets of the [Ghost Compendium] had to be thoroughly researched!

Buzz——

The next moment, Wu Liang felt layers of chains binding his mind, and not only did it feel like his Spiritual Power was being restricted, but almost even his logical thinking appeared clogged.

It felt as though an ordinary person had to carry a ten-pound vase, maintaining balance while trying to move forward.

"Hiss... this sensation isn't bad!"

This feeling of being shackled made Wu Liang strangely feel a little lighter.

The headache from recalling the past completely disappeared, and he even felt he could attempt to awaken his lost memories!

"Ahem... you're truly a monster... at least give me some pained expression to make me happy!" Zodiac Rabbit's face was slightly pale.

She hadn't expected that imposing the strongest restriction on this person would be so challenging, was this guy's brain a supercomputer!?

Why was his Spiritual Power so strong!

"By the way, Rabbit, my name is Wu Ming, codename Shadow, I have some questions to ask you, is that okay?" Wu Liang suddenly remembered Minister Long had said Zhaoic members participated in events back then.

Was this Zodiac Rabbit one of them?

But before he could open his mouth, Zodiac Rabbit had a look of realization as she said, "So you're the Shadow Long mentioned! I was wondering who had such sway to make him help with the application to the Zodiac Department!"

She glanced Wu Liang up and down.

Then she smiled bitterly and said, "You came to the Capital City to ask about the [Promised Land], right?"

Upon hearing these four words, Wu Liang's expression brightened, not expecting Zodiac Rabbit already knew his purpose.

It seemed Minister Long had briefed her on the situation in Chengyang City already.

But there was something subtle——

Before departing, Minister Long only disclosed that eight Zodiacs and thirty Awakened were involved, without mentioning who they were.

He probably had some restrictions on directly explaining the situation, but was doing his utmost to tie up matters with relevant people in advance.

He would need to take action to find these people.

"Hmm, I apologize for the contempt earlier outside, could you tell me about the whereabouts of the insider, I really need to find them as soon as possible."

Seeing Wu Liang, who had shown some arrogance before, suddenly apologize, Zodiac Rabbit felt a little out of sorts.

But thinking it over, Wu Liang hadn't truly looked down on her since they met; his comment about being underage was made without knowing her identity.

The uninformed are blameless.

Moreover, since even that monster Zodiac Dragon had personally contacted her to explain the situation, she had to show a bit of face, right?

At this, she slowly spoke, "Ahem, the confidentiality agreement back then is pretty restrictive, I can only tell you a few things——"

"First, the vacant Zodiac positions are Rat, Tiger, and Monkey, and these years there haven't been any Zodiac casualties."

"Second, Sister She didn't participate back then, her ability can predict the future, you might want to find her if you have time, although I often can't find her myself, because she has no restrictions."

"Third, those thirty Awakened no longer have memories of the events back then, do you understand what I mean?"

Saying this, Zodiac Rabbit paused awkwardly, then asked, "Sorry, I can only provide this much information, any more and it would trigger the alarm."

But Wu Liang only smiled confidently after listening.

He stretched lazily and said, "Fortunately, your ability only locks my Spiritual Power, not my intelligence."

"This information is more than enough!"

"I've already narrowed down my search range!"
