Lin Ruo had long suspected that before his amnesia, before he made the harsh statement, "Even if I have to swallow characteristics raw or recklessly jump pathways, I will never ask Medici for help again," he must have frequently pulled Medici's historical projections out to use as a tool.

Of course, the term "tool" here doesn't mean that a historical projection of Medici would come out to argue with him, thereby reinforcing his humanity, but rather, like a proper Scholar of Yore, he would summon historical projections to fight.

When Lin Ruo had previously guessed this, he had actually wondered that if the former him could simulate the abilities of an angel or even a Sequence 0, why would he bother pulling out historical projections; wouldn't it be better to just go directly?

Now Lin Ruo understood that if he had once simulated angel-level abilities, it would have suppressed his humanity. In that case, facing ordinary enemies, it was certainly not as cost-effective as simulating Sequence 3 and pulling out historical projections.

—No matter how much you summon historical projections, they are still compared to the original body. Don't you see that Zaratul, that guy, is already Sequence 1, but he still pulls out historical projections very skillfully because this ability is really useful.

However… judging from my memories, during the Third Epoch, I seemed to use my abilities quite casually. Otherwise, how could I have easily dealt with Amon?

Right, back then, the Ancient Sun God was still around… Thinking about this, Lin Ruo suddenly understood. He still understood his own personality somewhat. With the White City of Silver's Creator as a nanny, no, as someone who provided treatment and stabilized his humanity, he would definitely be more reckless.

Thinking this way, after the Ancient Sun God died, he was really miserable. He most likely became an orphan, and even using his abilities had to be done sparingly. He certainly couldn't be as carefree as before!

Lin Ruo sympathized with his past self in his heart, then looked at Medici and asked, "So, the key question is, Medici, which pathway did I take in the past, and what Sequence was I?"

This question was also something he had always been curious about.

"You have no impression of this at all?" Medici crossed his legs, raised his chin slightly, and said with a mocking smile, "Little Black, I really suspect that you ended up in this pitiful state because Adam tricked you out of your characteristics."

Hearing this, Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. Before analyzing the information in Medici's words, he first retorted sarcastically, "Are you talking about yourself?"

As everyone knows, Medici ended up as a Hot Pot Evil Spirit because he was tricked by Adam and Amon. Not to mention characteristics, he even lost his life.

Yet this guy doesn't even know that Adam is the Ancient Sun God's legacy, the divinity of his most loyal master… Thinking of this, Lin Ruo suddenly lost interest in continuing to mock Medici on this topic.

Although he was sure that this topic itself would be even more devastating to Medici than saying "You were beaten by a monkey" to the Jade Emperor.

Adam… why exactly did he have to kill Medici?

Lin Ruo didn't know what the reason was in a world with his intervention. He could only recall the original work, thinking of the various things in the original work, and Adam's sentence, "This is just a necessary sacrifice."

He also thought of the hints in the original work that Medici was suspected of being corrupted by an Outer God or something else.

Could it be that this unlucky child, Medici, was really corrupted by an Outer God or Sephirot without realizing it?

This guess made Lin Ruo couldn't help but size up Medici, his eyes becoming increasingly strange, making the latter feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Little Black, what's wrong? Are your eyes acting up?" Medici, feeling uncomfortable from being stared at, subconsciously said sarcastically.

Then he received a pitying look from Lin Ruo.

Medici: ?

Are you sick in the head!

Lin Ruo temporarily suppressed the guess in his heart. After all, regardless of whether this unlucky child Medici was corrupted before, he had already died once, and Adam didn't care anymore. Even if he was really corrupted before, the corruption had probably subsided.

And I might have been corrupted, which is why I had to become like this… Lin Ruo complained in his heart. He finally began to analyze the meaning revealed in Medici's words just now.

"So… I was formerly Sequence 1 of the Spectator pathway?" Lin Ruo, having analyzed the result, looked up to confirm, not intending to give Medici a chance to play the riddle game.

Medici did not deny it.

Lin Ruo then touched his chin, thinking of a point, "Then does that mean Adam was only 1+1 before?"

Here, 1+1 naturally refers to Adam accommodating the Uniqueness while possessing a Sequence 1 characteristic.

Although the Spectator pathway is very buggy, very unreasonable, and even when Lin Ruo was reading the book before his transmigration, he couldn't help but exclaim, "The Spectator is too strong, we might as well nerf the Warrior," considering that the Ancient Sun God, as a Quasi Great Old One back then, couldn't create something from nothing and didn't even have his own Spectator Sequence 1 characteristic, in this situation, Lin Ruo took away a Spectator Sequence 1 characteristic, so Adam naturally could only be 1+1.

And Medici had probably heard similar statements from him before, so he understood the meaning of Lin Ruo's words without any difficulty, asking in return, "Otherwise?"

"That's right…" Lin Ruo nodded, but then touched his chin and began to think.

It is known that his current state is most likely intentionally caused by himself, and that Adam's attitude towards him is friendly. Whether his state is the same as in the original work is uncertain. Finally, he lost his Spectator pathway characteristics and jumped to the completely unrelated Hunter pathway.

Hiss, could it be that I made some kind of deal with Adam using a Sequence 1 characteristic before I lost my memory?

Lin Ruo felt that this was very likely.

"I always feel like I know a lot of things, but it seems like there are even more problems…" Lin Ruo muttered, then leisurely picked up a piece of the snack he brought and ate it. Immediately afterwards, he looked at Medici and said, "So, it's time to get back to the main topic."

"Medici, can you leave here now?"

"You will need my help soon." Medici did not answer Lin Ruo's question, but said this in a stating tone. He stared at Lin Ruo, then suddenly chuckled and said, "Again, for those mortals?"

Lin Ruo was not surprised that he could guess, nodded, and said, "Yes, so are you willing to help?"

Medici was silent for a few seconds. He gulped down a mouthful of wine, then suddenly raised a wild and unrestrained smile, saying, "Sure, beg me! Beg me and I'll help you!"

"I beg you." Lin Ruo replied shamelessly in a second. For him, whether it was the upcoming Backlund Smog incident or the later George III's apotheosis, getting help from Medici would be a good thing for him.

Not to mention that bringing Medici onto the warship had more uses than just that.

As for morals, what are those? Just a word. Lin Ruo didn't care about that.

Have you ever seen an acting fanatic who would rather suffer than lose face?
