Chapter 318 – Amnesia

“Think carefully, Mr. Davik. See if you can recall anything. We need your memories. If you can provide valuable ones, I assure you that your crimes can be mitigated.”

“Sis… I’m thinking… I’m thinking… I remember… It seems like I was doing some research… I recall looking at many books before… Through these books, I was studying something… I saw that I had a lot of research materials… Not just books, but also steles and such…”

Holding his head in pain, Davik recalled and said, watching Davik struggle to recall anything, Edmond sighed with a frown and left the bedside. After opening the iron door, he walked out of the ward and met the doctor and Vania who had been waiting at the entrance.

“I would like to ask if there is any method in this hospital to help patients recover their memories?”

Edmond asked the doctor for advice, describing the patient’s condition inside, but the doctor shook his head in response.

“I don’t think so with conventional methods, Captain. Matters concerning the spirit and soul must rely on specialized extraordinary items or extraordinary beings to solve. These are extremely rare due to often involving ‘Enlightenment’, and we do not have the means to treat amnesia.”

The doctor replied to Edmond, but just as he felt disappointed, Vania suddenly seemed to remember something. Straightening her glasses, she suggested:

“Captain, didn’t you say that he had an impression of photos of acquaintances? Even recalling something? Why not let him see more familiar items to stimulate his memory? I heard you say that he was particularly impressed by the things he studied. Could showing him these things help him recall anything?”

Vania proposed to Edmond with a suggestion, listening to which, Edmond’s eyes lit up.

‘Right… That guy reacted to the photo. Showing him other things might also elicit a reaction. From what he said, he was very concerned about the things he studied. Maybe showing him these could help him remember.’

Edmond thought to himself, then immediately thanked Vania.

“Thank you, Sister, your suggestion is excellent.”

Then, Edmond re-entered the ward and asked one of the hunters:

“Have all the items found at this guy’s house been photographed and archived?”

“Not yet. Some items have poison recognition properties, so the initial preparations for photographing these items are still ongoing, and photography hasn’t started yet.”

The hunter responded to Edmond, hearing which, Edmond paused. Without photographs, there was no direct way to show them to Davik. The items taken from Davik’s house were numerous, and getting them out of evidence storage was complicated. Thus, the only way to get Davik to see those items again was:

“Get ready the escort carriage. Take him to the headquarters. Also, inform the headquarters to prepare for the suspect to identify the evidence, so they can get everything ready.”

Edmond ordered, planning to take Davik directly to the evidence department at the headquarters to identify his belongings and see if it could jog his memory.

“Yes.”

Following Edmond’s words, two hunter members quickly left the scene. At this moment, the doctor who had been waiting at the door approached Edmond.

“Captain, are you taking the patient out?”

“Yes, he’s not only a patient but also a suspect. I need to take him out to identify some things. Is that okay?”

Edmond explained to the doctor, who nodded in agreement.

“Of course, but I want to point out that the patient has just woken up and is still weak. Taking him out directly might cause complications if his injuries worsen.”

The doctor told Edmond, to which Edmond silently nodded and replied:

“You make a good point, but we should take him out now.”

“Alright… In that case, I suggest Sister Vania goes with you. Although she hasn’t been promoted long, her healing abilities are quite proficient. She can provide treatment if the patient encounters any issues during the trip.”

The doctor suggested to Edmond, and Vania showed a surprised expression upon hearing this.

“Me…?”

“Yes, since you’re responsible for this patient recently, it’s normal for you to go along,” the doctor said to Vania, who nodded understandingly after hearing this.

“Alright… I understand.”

Seeing this, Edmond nodded slightly and continued:

“Good, then after this, Sister Vania, please take care of this guy’s health. We shouldn’t waste time; let’s get ready to leave.”

Soon, the hunter’s escort carriage was prepared. Davik, unshackled and handcuffed, was helped out of the underground dangerous patient ward. Leaving the Extraordinary Injury Department, Davik, dressed in thick clothes, was placed in the iron carriage, with Vania and Edmond joining him, sitting opposite him.

Then, the steel carriage doors closed, and the windows were sealed, making the outside world invisible. The entire carriage began moving under the hunters’ guidance, heading rapidly toward the unknown direction of the Anonymity Headquarters.

In the slightly swaying carriage space, Vania anxiously looked around. Meanwhile, in the distance, Dorothy smiled faintly.

“The plan is going smoothly. Unexpectedly, we can confirm the location of the Anonymity Headquarters. What a fortunate discovery.”

Dorothy muttered in the carriage, her carriage quickly speeding away under the control of the zombie driver.

…

East Tivyán, Silver Road.

On the bustling streets of the East District, countless pedestrians came and went. By the side of Silver Road, in a department store called Donald’s Department Store, the middle-aged, portly owner Donald was sitting behind the counter, reading today’s Tivyán morning paper.

A member of the Eight Pinnacle Nest disguised as an ordinary shopkeeper was gathering city news through the newspaper when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf.

Donald’s expression turned serious as he looked down to find a large, colorful spider biting his leg through his pants. But upon noticing Donald’s gaze, the spider’s back rapidly transformed into a face.

The face then opened its mouth and said:

“When Adeline comes to meet next time, tell him the task of finding someone at the Black Dog Den doesn’t need to be executed. We’ve learned about his situation through other channels and sold the intelligence to the Wolf bl**d Association. Tell Adeline the key now is to hide himself, pass through the promotion, and avoid suspicion…”
