Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 367 - 362: Pan Min Has Lost Her Memory

The boy looked at the person who had already stopped breathing.

His pale little face was even paler, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the wooden ring hanging from his chest.

This wooden ring was crudely made, yet it was shiny all over, with an ancient character engraved on it.

The place where the boy’s thumb was rubbing was exactly where the engraving was.

If one listened carefully, a special energy could be faintly felt emanating from the character and being absorbed by the boy’s body.

After a long time.

The boy finally let go of the wooden ring.

The paleness on his cheeks also had a touch of rosiness.

"Since I’ve returned, hand over the treasure!"

The boy seemed to have thought of something, a crazed look in his eyes, and immediately said to the follower beside him, "Contact Ghost Valley, and tell them that I’ve agreed to their plan."

"Yes, Master!"

***

In the suburbs of Beijing.

An ordinary female prison.

The guard smiled and said to the man registering at the entrance, "You’re here again, Lao He. This is..."

He Xin wrote as he said, "This is my colleague, Ji Ning."

"Whoa, such a grand name..." The guard gave Ji Ning a thumbs up.

Ji Ning nodded slightly towards him.

She raised her wrist, aiming the suppression ring at the electronic screen at the prison entrance.

The smile on the guard’s face froze.

My heavens, a superpower user?

A "beep" was heard, and Ji Ning’s registration information immediately appeared on the electronic screen.

[Name: Ji Ning]

[Gender: Female]

[Position: A-level Detective]

[Unit: Huazhou Alliance Security Department]

[Superpower user ID: XXXXXXX]

Amidst the guard’s shock, Ji Ning followed behind He Xin into the female prison.

After they walked a bit, seeing no one was around, He Xin lowered his voice and said to Ji Ning, "Leader Ji, Pan Min went insane suddenly, acting as if she became a different person." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Since Ji Ning had entrusted the West Continent spy Pan Min to him to hide, he had hidden her in the female prison.

She had behaved quite normally before, silent and aloof, ignoring everyone.

Until one day, she suddenly fainted to the ground, and when she woke up, she acted like a completely different person.

Not only did she forget why she was in prison, but she also changed her name.

Her speech accent and habits had greatly changed.

The prison warden feared something might happen and promptly contacted He Xin.

He Xin also timely reported to Ji Ning, but Ji Ning was preoccupied at Jiuming Mountain and had only now come.

"When did she start having these changes? Was there anything special about that day?"

"The time was around two weeks ago, specific details need to be asked from the warden."

The two quickly went to the warden’s office and met He Xin’s old classmate, who was also the prison warden.

"Lao Zhang, this is A-level Detective Ji Ning from the Security Department. Please explain Pan Min’s recent changes in detail to her."

The warden was a friendly-looking woman, not very tall, dressed in a uniform.

She seemed a bit nervous, and though a smile was on her face, her voice still shook unnaturally as she spoke.

"Hello, I am Zhang Xiaoxue. Prisoner Pan Min suddenly went insane on the morning of January 6th, speaking incoherently. When our guards arrived, she had already fainted. When she woke up again, she had amnesia... This is the record we made."

Ji Ning took the tablet handed by the warden, which had Pan Min’s daily surveillance footage, and observation reports written by the guards.

"We conducted many physical examinations on her; all indicators were normal. Her mental state was also very good, but she just can’t remember who she is or why she came here, and the person she describes herself as is completely different."

Zhang Xiaoxue pointed at the record from January 10th on the screen.

"She claimed her name was Pan Qing, 15 years old, from Yunan City, Hua Continent, and has an aunt named Pan Min, who unfortunately passed away three days ago. She was originally going to the funeral, but suddenly appeared here."

***

Two hours later—

Disguised, Ji Ning, wearing prison clothes and shackled, was led to a special cell.

At this moment, Pan Min was earnestly sitting on the bed reading a book.

The book was a middle school textbook.

She was engrossed in it.

It wasn’t until the iron door clanged that she noticed a new roommate had arrived.

Pan Min curiously observed Ji Ning for a while before timidly asking, "Sister, what crime did you commit?"

"Murder."

Pan Min shrank back, not daring to speak again, even lifting the textbook over her head to cover her eyes.

Ji Ning glanced at her, subtly frowning.

The energy fluctuations that signified a superpower user on Pan Min had undergone a tremendous change, completely different from before. Few superpower users in the world could alter their surrounding energy so drastically.

Even Lao Zhong, whom she encountered earlier, just made the energy fluctuations disappear, instead of changing the inherent operation of the energy.

It seemed as if the Pan Min before her was not the same person as before.

Could it be that Pan Min had also crossed over?

Or was she occupied by her niece Pan Qing?

Thinking of Bai Xiaotang’s bizarre novels, Ji Ning rarely let her imagination run wild.

"Hey, what’s your name?"

"Pan... Pan Qing..."

"How old are you?"

"15."

"What crime did you commit?"

"They say it’s espionage."

"They say?"

Pan Qing was almost in tears.

Tightly clutching the textbook, she showed a pair of pitiful and innocent eyes, whispering, "I don’t know why... maybe I have amnesia..."

"Amnesia? That’s a pretty good excuse!"

Uncomfortable, Pan Qing mumbled her rebuttal, "I really don’t know why I was arrested. I was clearly going to attend my aunt’s funeral before..."

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, seeing Pan Qing’s disappointed look, she suddenly asked, "Do you know what date it is today?"

Pan Qing looked at her with some confusion, then lowered the book, counting on her fingers, "Aunt passed away on June 8th, my dad and I boarded the plane on June 10th, I fell asleep on the plane, and when I woke up, I was here. I’ve been here for about fourteen days. Today should be around June 22nd."

Ji Ning was slightly shocked, then asked, "What year is it now?"

"It’s the new century year 86..."

Just as Pan Qing finished speaking, she noticed her new roommate’s face darken, seemingly upset.

Instantly, she clammed up and retreated behind her textbook again.

Thinking to herself, this new roommate has such a bad temper!

"What’s your physique rating and spiritual power rating?"

Pan Qing was reluctant to answer, but feared the murderous roommate’s anger, she softly replied, "Physique rating S-Class, spiritual power rating C3 level."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ning’s pupils slightly widened, her immense spiritual power instantly enveloped Pan Qing.

The previously energetic Pan Qing immediately yawned, her eyes closed, and she fell onto the bed.

Ji Ning went over to Pan Qing, made her lie on her stomach, extended two fingers, and pressed down on the back of her head.

Sure enough, Pan Qing had a small chip in her head.

This was the second time Ji Ning had seen a chip implanted in a superpower user’s head.

The first was an assassin from the Ji Family Army under Ke Chen.

After they were silenced, even the chip in their brain was removed.

According to Ke Chen, the chips in superpower users’ brains were a historical remnant caused by the 728 incident.

It was only prevalent in Hua Continent for a period, then banned.

Why did a West Continent spy’s brain have one too?

Moreover, the implant time was even a few years before the 728 incident?
