**Chapter 362: Deception! Memory Modification Again!**
"Come on, even if this is just someone's prank, we have nothing to lose by telling Golden Boy about it." She followed behind Marie Moreau and walked into the washroom.
"Before telling Golden Boy about it, I plan to first verify if that place called Forest truly exists." Marie Moreau picked up her toothbrush and rinsed it under the faucet. This was a habit she had developed at the rehabilitation center because people always mixed up toothbrushes. One time, Marie Moreau had even seen a vegetable leaf on her own toothbrush; it was so disgusting she nearly threw up.
"Assuming that place really exists, with our small arms and legs, there's no way we can get in. It's better to tell Golden Boy about it first; at least he's much stronger than us." Emma Meyer really didn't want to see Marie Moreau take the risk, so she advised.
"After breakfast, we'll go find Jordan Li." Marie Moreau listened to the advice, but didn't completely listen.
"You must be f*cking crazy." Emma Meyer pulled a long face, took out two empty bowls from the cabinet, poured milk into them, and then added oatmeal.
The two quickly finished their oatmeal, then immediately rushed towards the School of Crimefighting.
Jordan Li, as Professor Brink's assistant, was currently organizing documents for Professor Brink.
"Regarding what happened on the Battle Arena yesterday, I heard about it." Professor Brink put down the book and looked up at Jordan Li, who was without smiling. "Your approach is wrong. First place isn't achieved solely by strength; fame and reputation are both important parts. By doing this, you will only help Golden Boy return to first place."
"If I lost, I lost. I have nothing to say." Jordan Li placed the organized documents on the Office desk. "Professor Brink, thank you for your concern, but I still want to rely on strength to become first place."
After speaking, Jordan Li walked out of the Office, but ran head-on into Marie Moreau and Emma Meyer, who were looking for him.
"I still have things to do, don't block the way." Jordan Li's face darkened, and he quickened his steps.
"Have you heard of Forest?" Emma Meyer shouted at him.
Turning his head along with Jordan Li was also Anderson, who was passing by. The moment he heard the word Forest, it was as if an electric current passed through his brain. Anderson froze in place, the memory that had been modified by Cate slowly revived. He frowned, walked in front of Emma Meyer, and said with some hesitation, "Forest? Golden Boy?"
He could only think of these; the rest, Anderson couldn't remember no matter what.
"You know too?" Marie Moreau looked at Anderson, a trace of shock flashing in her eyes.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk properly."
In order for Anderson to figure out what he had forgotten, he took Marie Moreau and the others and walked towards a secluded corner of the Campus.
Hmph! Putting on an act. However, their actions indeed piqued Jordan Li's curiosity.
In front of the Teaching building, several people gathered under a large tree on the Lawn and started discussing.
"You mean Golden Boy has a younger brother imprisoned in a secret institution called Forest? How come I've never heard him mention it?" Anderson vaguely remembered that Golden Boy seemed to indeed have a younger brother, but rarely mentioned anything about him. If his younger brother was truly imprisoned in a secret institution called Forest, Golden Boy couldn't possibly have no reaction to this.
After some discussion among the several people, they were divided into two factions. One faction was led by Marie Moreau; she and Jordan Li wanted to find the institution called Forest. One faction was led by Anderson; he and Emma Meyer felt they should tell Golden Boy about this first.
"There is indeed a place at the School that is very strange. I heard that place is a restricted area of the School, and there are often Guards patrolling. No one is allowed to approach," Jordan Li slowly spoke. "Let's go find Golden Boy first. We'll work together to rescue his younger brother."
While Anderson was speaking, he casually glimpsed Golden Boy, who was on a date with Cate, out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey! Over here!" Marie Moreau just wanted to stop him, but Anderson's action was faster. His shout attracted Golden Boy's attention, and at the same time, it caused Cate, who was beside Golden Boy, to feel a tightening in her heart.
"I suddenly thought of a new tactic. Have you heard of Deep Sea Bomb?" Cate tried to get Golden Boy away from Anderson.
Deep Sea Bomb? Golden Boy, who thought of certain things, raised a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth. "Then I'll definitely be totally thrilled."
"What are you waiting for then? Time waits for no one, you know."
Cate ambiguously stroked Golden Boy's face, then ran towards the Apartment Building.
Golden Boy looked awkwardly in Anderson's direction, but in the end, physiology triumphed over brotherhood.
"Run slower, wait for me."
Seeing Golden Boy walking further and further away, the anxious Anderson directly shouted, "I know about your younger brother!"
Almost instantly, Golden Boy stopped his steps. His eyebrows began to furrow tightly. Along with thinking, his brain suddenly started aching in waves. His eyes became covered in blood threads, and his expression also gradually became distorted due to pain. "Younger brother? I seem to indeed have a younger brother. Damn it!! How can I not remember? Damn it!!"
"Golden Boy, are you okay?" Seeing Golden Boy's extremely painful appearance, Cate also felt a pang in her heart, but she had no other choice.
"Forget what Anderson just said to you. Stay here and rest well." Cate took Golden Boy's right hand and used her superpower. She repeatedly told herself in her heart that she was doing this only to protect Golden Boy. What's hidden behind Forest is a monster that devours people. Once it is touched upon, let alone Golden Boy, probably any other person, the final outcome is only sudden disappearance.
Under the influence of Cate's superpower, Golden Boy's emotions gradually stabilized. He held his head, squatted on the ground, occasionally letting out painful low growls.
"Quiet!" Cate raised her index finger and placed it in front of her lips.
"Why is Golden Boy reacting so strongly? He seems to be in a lot of pain," Anderson asked in a low voice, not understanding.
The other several people also looked at Cate with confused expressions.
"Do you know about the illness called psychological trauma?" Cate decided to first stabilize the several people in front of her, then find an opportunity to modify the memory of Anderson and the others.
"You mean Golden Boy has psychological trauma?" The doubt on Anderson's face grew stronger. How come he had never heard that Golden Boy had a mental illness?
"That's right, only I know this secret. Golden Boy hasn't told anyone else besides me."
Cate pretended to be sad and started making up a story. "When Golden Boy was young, an accident caused his superpower to suddenly awaken. However, just as he was in panic, Golden Boy's younger brother ran towards him. As a result, because Golden Boy couldn't control his superpower, the flames that sprayed from him burned his younger brother to death. Golden Boy, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was left with very deep psychological trauma from then on."
"My God!" Emma Meyer covered her mouth in extreme shock and exclaimed in disbelief.
