[He is an elf scholar and a passionate photographer. 】

[I met her, and he said I made him feel very familiar and invited me to travel with him. 】

Speaking of "him", the woman's pale face seemed to have a little color, and her tone of voice unknowingly quickened.

[We spent several years traveling to many places, from one country to another. From the top of the mountain, to the deep sea, from the forest to the grassland, until one day, we came to the foot of an unknown mountain in the ruins of an old country that is no longer there. 】

[There is an abandoned village there. The dilapidated but neat houses prove how prosperous the village once was. 】

[The guide said that the Bird Clan once lived here. However, due to frequent disturbances from the outside world, the Bird Clan secretly moved away. No one knows where the Bird Clan has gone until now. 】

[That night, I felt strange fluctuations, came to a room, and found a strange stone. 】

[But I didn’t expect that that was the beginning of my nightmare. 】

[I never thought that the power of waveguides that could not be detected by equipment back then would no longer be a secret twenty or thirty years later. 】

[A group of people suddenly appeared nearby. Faced with the fierce attack, he and I were unable to fight back. 】

[Ever since I learned about what happened to the village, I have never dared to use the power of the waveguide, but I didn’t expect that I would be pregnant at that time. 】

[These were obtained by pretending that when he heard those people saying that they were going to use the child in my belly for research, he would persuade me to cooperate with the research, just to save our lives. 】

[We have been living in the institute for I don’t know how long. 】

[In order to interfere with our perception, they control the brightness or darkness of the room we are in. 】

[We cooperated with those people and did some "behavioral observations", and we didn't even dare to resist. We were afraid that our slightest resistance would cause them to take the children away from us. 】

The woman trembled with anger, but still told the story.

[As the child grows up, the time he spends separated from us becomes longer and longer. 】

[We dare not teach our children to speak, but those people can. 】

[The child's talent is stronger than mine. When he was about one or two years old, he could even speak some short but clear words accurately under their guidance. 】

[I know clearly that we can no longer stay there. 】

[But let alone the elves at that time, the long-term imprisonment and various medicines made it difficult for our bodies to walk even a few steps. 】

[Just when we were desperate, a Lucario suddenly appeared and saved us. 】

[Unfortunately, at that time, our bodies had become accustomed to being regularly injected with some drugs. Without those drugs, we would be worse off than dead. 】

[Lucario took us to a private institute for treatment. 】

[Although we have survived one wave of withdrawal reactions, our bodies are already riddled with holes. 】

The woman pointed to her empty eyes.

[My eyes were blinded because I couldn’t bear the effects of the medicine. 】

[Unfortunately, he didn’t make it through. 】

[I want to leave with him, but there are still our children. 】

[For people like us who have special "talent", if we are born in a big family, we will be the new stars that the big family devotes its efforts or focus on cultivating, and we are unique geniuses. 】

[If you are born in a middle-class family, you may become a super genius that attracts everyone's attention; you may also be able to recharge your batteries and eventually become the hope for the family's rise. 】

[But being born in an ordinary family, or even being alone like him, hiding yourself is the only way to survive. 】

I don't know whether she is talking to the child, who she is talking to, or just talking to a vain goal. The woman's words are getting faster and faster, and she is getting more and more desperate.

The woman seemed to have lost all her strength and fell down on the chair in frustration, looking at Chen An in front of her with empty eyes.

In other words, looking at something through Chen An.

Before Chen An could react, the woman in front of him disappeared.

.....

Chen An vaguely heard a word coming from behind, "If we have a chance to talk, Lucario, please take him to the Dragon Kingdom. There is the country where he and I once promised each other to settle down in the future." 】

...

After some unclear light flashed by, a young couple appeared in front of him, accompanied by two blue cat-shaped elves.

The couple coaxed a child with a Meow Meow doll from "themselves".

"I" took the camera from the couple, squatted down and took a photo of them with a bright smile that I had seen for many years.

(Photo Tip: Chapter 2)

After taking the photo, Super Miaomiao left directly.

The couple put the child to sleep and looked at "themselves" who had not left yet, as if they were saying something.

However, before he could see clearly what they said, the familiar stream of light appeared again.

......

This time, the scene turned out to be the "home" where he had just woken up.

Compared to the model room when he first returned, there were still some clothes and various books scattered in the room.

It should be what it was like before the fire.

[So, is this my past? 】Following the familiar voice, "my" eyes stopped on a slightly shorter boy.

That was me more than two years ago.

Looking at himself across from him, Chen An stretched out his hand curiously, but it passed through him. In his memory, he was just a phantom.

"Ah."

Chen An felt "his" response, but [Phantom Chen An] in front of him seemed to be relieved.

[Let me just say, if I don’t have a tragic past, how can I be worthy of my status as a time traveler? 】

[Phantom Chen'an] found a few notebooks among the scattered notebooks, and handed them to "himself" along with a small box found in the suitcase.

[It is dangerous to leave these things here with me, so please give them to trustworthy people or elves. 】

[Next, I would like to trouble you to help me block my memory. 】

[Of course, it’s best to leave some clues for me, otherwise I’m afraid I really won’t remember anything and will become a fool. 】

"Myself" took what [Phantom Chen'an] handed over with a pair of hands that looked like they were wearing black boxing gloves.

Seeing the things being taken over, [Phantom Chen'an] breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the research institute where the roof could be vaguely seen in the distance.

[There should be elves preparing to escape there. You can try to help them and set the place on fire or collapse. This way I will have a direct reason for [amnesia]. 】

"Okay." [Conscious body Chen'an] heard his answer.

[Phantom Chen'an] who received the response seemed to be closing his eyes to rest, but [Conscious Body Chen'an] knew that this was communicating with the system.

...

Then, the screen seemed to start accelerating.

[Conscious body Chen'an] ate the "gift" that had been left for a long time and was sent in the name of his parents, watched his room on fire, then closed his eyes under a pair of big black hands with white protrusions, and fell to the ground. .

"I" was in the distance, watching like a clairvoyant group of people of unknown origin rushing into the fire before the arrival of the fire brigade, using strange equipment to check the young man in the fire scene, and rummaging through his things.

When the fire brigade arrived, these people climbed over the wall and left.

The scene changes.

This time, what appeared in front of him was a Lucario that looked over 1.8 meters tall.

Lucario spoke directly as if he could see Chen An.

"What you saw before was my memory."

"You said that you have a special ability that is different from superpowers and waveguide power, but this power is still too weak, so now you can only temporarily erase the memory to avoid the detection of that organization."

(As mentioned earlier, the formal condition for system activation is that Chenan has his own initial elf, and Chenan did not have any elf at the time of the fire.)

Chen An thought for a while, maybe it was because the system had not been officially activated at that time, and he did not have the ability to protect his thoughts from outside detection.

I just don’t know why I let the system erase these memories at that time? And why does the system "wake up" in a fire scene?

While thinking about it, Lucario in front of him continued to talk.

"You said that you would divide your memory into two halves, with one half kept in your subconscious and the other half hidden by me."

"When you master the power of the waveguide yourself, or Lucario is willing to help you, the memories I have hidden for you will gradually be restored."

"But in either case, you have to be careful not to mention anything about the power of waveguides around any device."

"If you want to know where these things go, go over to the Evergreen Forest and find a Lucario."

After saying that, Lucario's phantom gradually dissipated.

...

After Lucario's phantom dispersed, Chen An found that he was in a familiar pure white space. It felt like he was lying on the bed.

The system was looking at him curiously, face to face.

"What did you do? Why do I think my data is being restored?"

"I tried to ask Lucario to use the power of the waveguide to help me, but I didn't expect that I actually recovered some memories."

"Oh." The system removed his face boredly and stared at Chen An indifferently. "It will take me a while to sort through the data, so you should go back first."

"No, you..."

Before Chen An could finish speaking, the system kicked Chen An out of the system space.

.....

"woke up!"

Following Gardevoir's cry of surprise, Chen An slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the throbbing pain coming from his brain, Chen An guessed that his brain was probably adapting to the sudden memory.

"Are you okay?" Gardevoir released soothing power to help him relieve the pain in his brain.

"It's okay." Chen An rubbed his cheek and looked at Lucario, who was looking slightly tired as he continued to output the power of the waveguide. "Can you please teach me how to use the power of the waveguide?"

After all, although it is difficult to control the power of the waveguide to attack, it is really too easy compared to continuously inputting power while carefully protecting the human brain.

"Huh?" Lucario sat up straight. "Do you know something?"

Hiding some things that only related to himself, Chen An said everything he could.

After hearing Chen An talk about the past of the Bogui clan and what Lucario had seen, Lucario and Gardevoir didn't speak for a long time.

Because the power of Waveguide is so special, although there is little mention of Waveguide Village and the Waveguide clan in textbooks, as a "powerful elf" who once made a brilliant appearance, there are naturally many books recording his deeds.

Chen An recalled what he had read.

November 125. Lucario became famous in the first battle, and the trainer announced to the world that he and Lucario had the "Power of Waveguide". The village where he lived and the people who had special powers like him were named Waveguide Village and the Waveguide Clan.

In December 125, the small island country in the Aloya Ocean where the Bogui clan and the Bogui village are located - the country of Yishanbule, became the most popular "attraction" in the world, and countless trainers went there to seek advice.

(Aloya Ocean: an ocean formed after violent changes in the continent.)

(Yi Tiwu Leguo: There is no need to memorize a name that is randomly coined. The way to pronounce it is gone.)

In March 127, Yishanwu Le announced that the whole village of Bogui would be relocated, and its whereabouts are unknown. Also missing were the Lucario trainer and Lucario.

In September 127, Yishibule suffered huge losses due to the tsunami. In the end, the survivors immigrated to other countries, and Yishibule ceased to exist. The territory back then was taken away by a relatively powerful country nearby.

January 141. The Elf Alliance announced that the "Power of Waveguide" is listed as one of the "superpowers" that can be learned by humans, but it did not announce the specific method of mastering it.

The above are all the records related to the Bogui family (Bogui Village) in the brief history of the world.

......

After a long moment of silence, Lucario suddenly spoke.

"The Lucario you're talking to is the Lucario who was once super evolved, right?"

"Yeah." Chen An nodded, "What's wrong?"

"That Lucario is my father."

"According to human calculations, I was hatched in the 112th year of the Elf Era." Lucario fell into memories.

(Insert a piece of news: The average lifespan of the Lucario clan is about 200 years, so depending on his age and condition, you can get a % discount)

"I was hatched in a remote mountain with no human habitation."

"At that time, I only had my father by my side, and no humans. My father stayed with me for a while. When I was able to use the power of waveguides to explore my surroundings, he used the power of waveguides to teach me some common sense about life, and then left."

"After he left, I evolved into Lucario."

[Elves that need intimacy to evolve, in this world, have a chance to evolve by their own will or in a special magnetic field in the wild state]

"When I left the mountains, it was probably at the beginning of 125. At that time, Lucario was just an ordinary humanoid elf. He could enter human cities as long as he "registered" normally."

"I traveled to many cities and challenged different opponents. At that time, humans were more curious and motivated about me than others."

"Until one day, the surrounding waveguide changed. Those emotions included curiosity, yearning, exploration, and malice. The emotions were so strong that I subconsciously left the city at that time."

"Only in the back, I encountered a lot of attacks from people who were either curious or malicious."

"I fled and fought until I accidentally came to this forest and found that humans were expelling the native elves in the forest."

"I had a fight with King Yitian at that time, and he asked me to stay here to protect this forest for fifty years."

"I have stayed here since then. Until more than two years ago, my father found me and gave me a stone."

"If your father's trainer is from the same race as your grandmother, then according to human terms, we may be a family."

(In the elf world, it is normal for an elf and his trainer to be considered a family.)

(What Lucario means here is that they are all descendants of members of Bogui Village.)

Lucario hesitated for a while, then took out a small but regular orange diamond-shaped stone from his body and said. "Is this what you asked your father to take away at that time?"

Looking at the Z Pure Crystal in front of him, Chen An took a deep breath.

In the light of the calcium carbide fire, he thought of the small box he asked Lucario to take away.
