Mo Fan did remember the Amnesia Bug, Zhang Xiaohou was once a victim of it.
”The Black Vatican has the Amnesia Bug, and they only use it on important members of the Enforcement Union. The members of the Black Vatican that snuck into the Enforcement Union didn't know they were members of the Black Vatican, since their memories were controlled by the Amnesia Bug. The person would only reclaim their memories at a specific time, or through some special methods to awaken the Amnesia Bug, and then realize they are members of the Black Vatican,” Tang Zhong said.
Mo Fan listened quietly.
Seeing that Mo Fan did not say a word, Tang Zhong added, ”Xinxia has the Amnesia Bug in her, so the people of the Parthenon Temple concluded that she is unaware of her identity. Her memories of the Black Vatican will only surface during specific times, which basically means she has another soul in her… when everything is done, the Amnesia Bug will then hide the memories again, making Xinxia look like just an ordinary person on the surface. It's the main reason why we have trouble tracking down the Black Vatican. We tried very hard to find out who the members of the Black Vatican are, yet even they are unaware of their own identities, how are we supposed to bust them out?”
Salan was only a nickname.
Solid evidence.
Her legs were incurable because there was another soul in her body.
Xinxia's innocent character was not fake, either, as even she had no idea that she was Salan because of the Amnesia Bug.
Tang Zhong, Leng Qing, and Tangyue struggled to believe it when they first heard the information, too. Their first reaction assumed that it was all a setup amid the election for the Goddess. They believed it was an absurd accusation, yet when the truth was revealed, they had no choice but to accept it...
The kind, pure-hearted Xinxia was innocent, but the memories of Salan hidden by the Amnesia Bug inside her, the soul and character that woke up at times, was the source of all evil.
They had told Mo Fan everything they knew. They knew it would be difficult for him to accept it, but that was the truth.
Xinxia was Salan, but Xinxia was not actually Salan. Both Xinxia and Salan's souls were in the same body, but the Holy Judgment Court and the Parthenon Temple were surely going to find Xinxia guilty!
The room fell silent. The people could hear Mo Fan's heavy breathing. Everything was too absurd to Mo Fan, yet the evidence was there, forcing him to believe it.
”What are you planning to do?” Lingling asked.
The whole incident was unprecedented, clearly a great blow to Mo Fan.
They were asking him to believe that the source of all evil, the culprit behind the Calamities of Bo City and the Ancient Capital, was actually someone that he was close with?
”I will go see her,” Mo Fan said.
”I'm afraid you can't. She's currently imprisoned in the Saintess' Hall at the Parthenon Temple. No one is allowed to see her. Once everyone with the Stone of Guilt cast their votes, and if there are more black stones than the white stones, she will be officially accused as Salan,” Tang Zhong said.
”I don't care about their evidence, or Stone of Guilt, I want to see her,” Mo Fan said confidently.
”The Parthenon Temple's armed force is shocking, it's not something you can take on alone,” Tang Zhong said with a sigh.
”When is the trial behind held?”
”Today, or tomorrow, I believe the evidence has convinced most people with the Stone of Guilt, and the outcome is most likely going to be...”
Mo Fan did not say another word. He left the Clearsky Hunter Agency.
He had only taken a few steps out of the door when Tangyue came out. She looked at Mo Fan and felt horrible, too. The news was even scarier to Mo Fan than being surrounded by demon creatures. It was as horrifying as realizing that he was a member of the Black Vatican after he woke up one day.
”If you really want to go, take this,” Tangyue said, and handed an orb to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan glanced at the orb and was quite touched.
He received it and said, ”If anything happens, I'll take responsibility for everything.”
”Your decision is our decision, too,” Tangyue said.
Mo Fan nodded.

Mo Fan received thousands of messages on his phone.
He was not in the mood to reply to them. He knew these people cared a lot about him, but his mind was fully occupied with a single person.
