Above the gray fog

Suddenly, the pupils of the giant black-striped dog shrank sharply.

It stared intently at the black wooden sign held in Lin Shan's hand, which should have been hung on its waist in human form. At this moment, it felt that the space in its stomach was empty.

The giant black-striped dog spoke human words in a deafening voice: "You can't take this. It has my clan's spiritual symbol on it. If you don't want to bring destruction to the clan, just return it to me."

Lin Shan looked at the black wooden card in his hand. It was as cold as holding an ice cube. It was only half the size of a palm. The regular rectangle was completely black without any patterns. When he was in a trance, he vaguely saw the young man in black standing in front of him. Rubbing the black wooden sign with his hand, many inexplicable memories appeared in his mind.

"This is a weird thing..."

This is the third strange thing he has seen besides the red lantern. The level is obviously much higher than the red lantern, and it does not have any supernatural leakage like the red lantern.

Maybe it was the fourth item. Now he vaguely felt that the quill and the parchment might be separate...

There is a price to pay for using magic objects. The price of parchment is life, the price of red lantern... it should be blood. What is the price of this wooden sign?

At this time, the giant black-striped dog pounced over.

The sharp teeth in the bloody mouth are right in front of you, and it wants to swallow Lin Shan in one bite!

Lin Shan teleported directly to a thousand meters behind him. This distance was beyond its sight range. However, the huge blue wings on the back of the black-striped giant dog shook violently and came to Lin Shan in an instant.

What came face to face was a huge pale golden hammer.

"bump!"

There was a huge collision sound, and the giant hammer hit the mouth of the giant black-striped dog, knocking it back more than ten meters and causing a large blood stain on the corner of its mouth.

On the surface, Lin Shan kept attacking the black-striped giant dog and seemed to have the upper hand. However, the black-striped giant dog had countless chances, and he only had one.

Seeing that the giant black-striped dog attacked again, this time Lin Shan directly took out the black wooden sign.

When the black-striped giant dog saw the wooden sign, its football-sized pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a fist, its two front paws suddenly stopped, and it turned around and ran away without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Shan rubbed the wooden sign with his hand, and a strange feeling arose. Lin Shan stared at the escaping giant black-striped dog, and its original escaping movement stopped abruptly.

An invisible supernatural force shrouded the area of ​​​​10,000 meters. The scope of the wooden sign's supernatural influence was too terrifying. I don't know what sequence of strange objects it was.

Lin Shan felt that he had an extra ability. He could tamper with the cognitive memory of the giant black-striped dog not far away at will.

【Lin Shan is my good big brother. 】

[I am here just to help my brother collect potion materials. 】

When the second message was engraved, Lin Shan paused suddenly and broke into a cold sweat.

His memories from childhood to adulthood are disappearing in an irreversible way... just like the originally rich picture of life is gradually being erased by a piece of eraser. So far, his life before the age of fifteen has become a blank sheet of paper!

He felt that if he carved in a few more lines, he would even forget who he was.

The most terrifying thing is that it has completely disappeared, including all the knowledge and common sense learned at that stage.

Lin Shan was already a little confused, as if half of his brain had been wiped out.

At this moment, the quill started moving in his mind again. It became illusory, as if it was passing through the river of time, writing and drawing on his blank life picture, and the originally blank picture became rich again. , exactly the same as before, but it looks a bit illusory, like a projection.

Lin Shan woke up instantly, and all his previous memories were restored. However, these memories had a hazy feeling, as if he was a bystander, not a personal experiencer.

The quill turned from virtual to real. It came to the parchment and took the initiative to write on the parchment:

[Reversal rule: The gift must be returned at the cost of two years of life. 】

[The historical memory projection is extracted as a buffer at the cost of one year of life. It has been extracted. 】

[Note: The memory of history is not your memory. 】

Lin Shan chewed on these three paragraphs.

He was already certain that the quill pen was a separate artifact. He had always thought it was just a pen that came with parchment paper...

If it hadn't been for the quill, he might have become an idiot.

Reversal rules... The rules should refer to supernatural power. The quill can reverse the cost of using magic objects. It consumes the same lifespan as the parchment. Unlike the parchment, the parchment still needs to agree. This quill directly forces the extraction... …

The already limited lifespan has been reduced by one year again, and there are still two additional years left. Now there are only seventeen years of life left. After the rule is reversed, there are only fifteen years left...

Not reversing now will have no impact on him, but what is written on the back of the quill is very clear. The memory of history is not his memory, it is just pulled by the quill as a buffer. There will definitely be additional harm, which he cannot detect.

"The meaning of returning the gift should be to eliminate the effect of using the trick, that is, to return the Shiba Inu to normal."

"Is the supernatural itself a rule, or are only some supernatural beings a rule?"

Lin Shan feels that there should be a difference between supernatural beings and rules. In other words, only some supernatural beings are rules. It is also possible that the power used after reaching a high order is the rule.

Just as Lin Shan's thoughts were running wild, the giant black-striped dog not far away, which had been stiff for a long time, began to shrink in size, and in the blink of an eye it transformed back into the form of a Shiba Inu.

It looked at Lin Shan, its eyes full of joy: "Brother, how much do you still need in terms of potion ingredients?"

Xin Guang turned into a white robe and draped it around his body. Lin Shan adjusted his expression to look more natural and said with a smile, "I just got an auxiliary medicine, and it's still far from enough."

"It's okay. I'm just here to help you find materials, big brother. In addition to what big brother has in hand, I have found all the materials I need. There is nothing to do next. After you have found all the materials, our brothers will return to the clan to be promoted together." Shiba Inu Hao Said nonchalantly.

Lin Shan clearly remembered what he just said about finding two kinds... and sure enough, none of them were true.

He took out the wooden sign and asked the Shiba Inu: "Do you know what this is?"

"What's wrong? Isn't this a forbidden object in the clan?" Shiba Inu looked confused, feeling strange about Lin Shan's question.

"It's okay." Lin Shan said, "I wasn't very clear when I first got it."

"Sequence 7 'Thinking Remnant Monument', brother, don't use it. You can't afford the price. If you use it, you will become a fool. Why is this in your place..." Shiba Inu said and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Seeing his confused eyes, Lin Shan said, "I just asked you to borrow it."

With that said, he directly threw the 'Remnant Tablet of Thought' to the Shiba Inu. The Shiba Inu caught it naturally, returned to his human form and hung it around his waist.
