Yaemachi.

In Nevernight, in Rita's other mansion.

After gently laying Mei Raiden down on the bed, the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Jiang Ming knew that she was about to wake up.

"Hmm..." Raiden Mei let out a weak sound and shook her head. Her body felt very tired, and even a feeling of weakness seemed to come from the depths of her soul.

"You finally woke up."

An extremely gentle voice came to her ears. Raiden Mei opened her eyes, and what she saw was Jiang Ming's worried look.

"Excuse me...who are you?"

"what......"

Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, but he had an idea in his mind, so he smiled and said, "My name is Jiang Ming, Miss Raiden Mei, do you remember what happened during this period?"

"Let me think... ah..."

Just as Mei Raiden was about to recall in her mind, she felt a tearing pain and could not help but cry out softly. However, the next moment, bits of green and silver light appeared around her, and the pain in her body and mind slowly dissipated, and even her thinking became much clearer.

"Thank you...thank you."

Mei Raiden seemed to know that this was Jiang Ming's trick. Although she was confused, she quickly apologized. When her mind became clear, she realized that she was lying on someone's legs. No wonder she could see the other person as soon as she opened her eyes. She was so scared that she quickly sat up, bent down, and kept apologizing.

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "No, Meiyi is very cute, but I'll be frank, your soul was attacked, so you lost some of your memories, do you need me to tell you?"

Mei Raiden thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "......Then I'll trouble you."

"You are very quick to learn. So, listen carefully."

Jiang Ming looked solemn as he explained to Raiden Mei what had happened during this period. Of course, his words were very tactful, stating the facts without belittling or exaggerating.

A quarter of an hour later, the talk finally ended with the criticism of the inhumane experiment of Raiden Ryuma. Of course, Jiang Ming did not leave it unsaid about what the girl had done, but went into more detail.

Mei Raiden did not respond for a long time after hearing this. Just as Jiang Ming was about to give her enough time and got up and walked to the door, wanting to go to the City Lord's Mansion first, the girl suddenly knelt down on the ground, hit her head on the tatami, closed her eyes in pain, and said with a choked voice.

"This behavior is a shame for my family. I know I can't make up for it. Mr. Jiang Ming must be from the City Lord's Mansion. I hope Mr. Jiang Ming can deal with it as he pleases."

Jiang Ming sighed with his back to Raiden Mei, and said lightly: "...Alas, you are both wrong and not wrong in doing this. Even your father, Raiden Ryoma, is both wrong and not wrong."

Raiden Mei suddenly raised her head, her eyebrows slightly bent, and looked at Jiang Ming's back with confusion in her eyes: "What does this mean?"

Jiang Ming turned around and looked at the girl with pity and regret, whose knees and even her body were kneeling on the ground. He walked forward lightly, carefully helped the girl up, and put his arms around her shoulders.

Mei Raiden's whole body stiffened. It was okay for her to lie on Jiang Ming's legs before, but this kind of intimate behavior was the first time for this innocent girl.

Jiang Ming sighed again and told the real truth: "You have forgotten a lot after all, so I will tell you the real truth - the soul transfer experiment is mainly aimed at the Corrosion Ruler, but the other party has the power of corrosion, which can amplify people's deepest emotions and forcibly influence the other party's judgment."

These were naturally deduced by Jiang Ming later.

"Whether it's you, your father, or even Lord Kallen, you were all affected by the power of the Herrscher during the experiment. Think about it carefully. Are you really the kind of people who would do such a thing? Has your father, Raiden Ryoma, really not cared about you and your son since you were born?"

Mei Raiden fell silent, thinking continuously in her mind.

Jiang Ming took the girl into his arms again. This time the girl's delicate body was not stiff, but she obediently pressed against Jiang Ming's chest.

Jiang Ming gently stroked the girl's hair and comforted her: "The source of everything comes from the Corrosion Ruler. My companions and City Lord Kallian have gone to fight him. You don't have to worry. This is the residence of the Queen of Nevernight. She is also my companion. You are guilty and this cannot be changed. So you have to recover from your injuries. When everything is settled, follow City Lord Kallian's arrangements and you will be fine."

"..." The girl did not respond, but nodded silently and buried her head deeper.

.................

The scene returns to the City Lord's Mansion.

Jiang Ming shook his head, and his tone revealed a hint of nostalgia: "I settled her in the small house where she used to live in the old city. Although she has awakened, her memory seems to be blocked. She even can't remember the fact that her father, Thunder Dragon Horse, was imprisoned. I think it should be that the [Hungry Ghost Realm] devoured part of her soul, causing her amnesia. She is just a poor child."

"But the aftereffects of forcibly fusing with the curse seemed to be a good thing for her, so after giving her a few words of advice, I did not help her recover her memory. Besides, after all, she is just a simple and stubborn girl... and the simpler a person is, the more likely they will seek extremes under the pressure of reality."

Then he looked at Rita again: "You are the real spy planted by the bishop in Yae Town, there is no doubt about that, which is why you have such a strong sense of contradiction in your heart."

Jiang Ming's voice reached everyone's ears. It was not loud, but it was clearly audible: "As I have always emphasized before, fate is a fixed number, and luck is a variable. Before I came to this world, I used means throughout the world to change your fate with luck. That is why although you have contradictions in your heart, you can't see where they are."

"For example, you are familiar with a book, but I use special means to change some of the logic in the book. When you reread the book, although you feel that the plot is strange and different, the subsequent logic makes you think that it is your own problem."

"Of course, it's also because I'm strong and your world is too weak."

Jiang Ming laughed out loud: "This is luck, the law of the universe. I never thought that in this small world, I would comprehend and reveal three laws of the universe in succession."

Fate is a constant, luck is a variable - these eight words alone can directly summarize the universal rules of luck.

If the destruction of the world and the dissipation of the world bubble are their destiny, then the existence of luck is the best means to save them. In a sense, countless creatures are looking forward to the emergence of luck. If everything in the world, all encounters, and all results are destined to appear and disappear, then what is the meaning of human life?
