Episode 26 recap: Lv Liang released the memory restriction and triggered a temporal distortion.
Old Master Xia was having a meal when Lv Liang asked to speak with him. However, he was refused by Old Master Xia. Lv Liang then used his Double Fulfillment technique to manipulate the people at the table into becoming his assistants in investigating Duan Mu Ying. Zhang Chu Lan observed the situation in the private room through Er Zhuang and decided to follow along, reminding Zhang Chu Lan to stay safe.
After everyone left, Lv Liang pondered alone. He recalled the joyful moments of playing games with Lv Huan and was determined to uncover the truth behind Lv Huan's murder. When Zhang Chu Lan approached Lv Liang, he no longer recognized him. Zhang Chu Lan quickly presented the memory ball that Lv Liang had entrusted to him. After Lv Liang unlocked it, he remembered that he had entrusted it to Zhang Chu Lan, but there was still another memory ball.
Zhang Chu Lan realized that Lv Liang had not used the Ming Soul technique earlier and questioned him about his abilities. Lv Liang showed Zhang Chu Lan Tian Jin Zhong's memories, and Zhang Chu Lan learned that Duan Mu Ying was also one of the Thirty-Six Thieves and possessed the Dual Fulfillment technique of memory manipulation.
After returning to the communication hub, Zhang Chu Lan had been contemplating the issue of memory. He thought that Feng Bao Bao's memories must have been deleted by Duan Mu Ying and wanted to find her before Lv Liang. Er Zhuang had been ignoring Feng Bao Bao, and Zhang Chu Lan immediately thought of Xu San, who could summon Er Zhuang. They secretly boarded Xu San's vehicle, held a knife to Xu San's neck, and demanded that he summon Er Zhuang.
Xu San explained that Er Zhuang's existence was the company's highest secret, and he couldn't disclose it. Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao then played the emotional card. Zhang Chu Lan expressed his determination to continue the investigation no matter what, while Feng Bao Bao stated that Xu Xiang would help them if he were still alive.
In the end, Xu San couldn't resist Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao's pressure and revealed Er Zhuang's whereabouts. However, he couldn't guarantee whether Er Zhuang would be willing to help. Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao found Er Zhuang, who had only half of her body remaining, trapped in a confined space, her life sustained by machinery.
Er Zhuang was able to be present everywhere because she had cultivated a technique similar to electromagnetic waves, allowing her to leave her physical body and roam freely. She informed Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao about Duan Mu Ying, and at the same time, she envied their freedom of movement.
Feng Bao Bao and Zhang Chu Lan felt indescribably distressed looking at Er Zhuang in that state. They promised that if they had the opportunity, they would bring Er Zhuang to participate in the gathering of extraordinary individuals and make her the champion.
Zhang Chu Lan learned that Duan Mu Ying was in a nursing home and immediately gathered people to help him sneak her out. Zhang Chu Lan initially wanted to be discreet and conduct a quiet operation, but the people he gathered were loud, playing music at a high volume as they arrived. Zhang Chu Lan quickly signaled them to be quiet, and they swiftly infiltrated the nursing home. The three of them pretended to sell products, quickly capturing the attention of the elderly residents. When Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao found Duan Mu Ying, they discovered that she had no qi and her eyes were vacant, resembling the walking dead from the Lv family.
Just as Zhang Chu Lan put Duan Mu Ying into a van, the van drove away. It turned out that Lv Liang had intercepted them. Feng Bao Bao wanted to chase after them, but Zhang Chu Lan stopped her, knowing that Er Zhuang would surely be able to track Lv Liang's location using the phone in the van.
Lv Liang took Duan Mu Ying back to the old mansion's wine cellar. Xi tried to evoke Duan Mu Ying's memories in this familiar setting, but Duan Mu Ying remained unresponsive. Lv Liang became furious and used his Double Fulfillment technique to extract a fragment of Duan Mu Ying's residual memory. He learned that Duan Mu Ying had theorized about using Sprite cola to harm Lv Huan, causing him immense grief. The faint memory of Lv Huan lingered on Duan Mu Ying's aged body, intensifying Lv Liang's sorrow.
Knowing that Zhang Chu Lan possessed Zhang Xi Lin's memory ball, Lv Liang unlocked the memories and triggered a distortion of space-time within it. They caught up with a speeding train and entered a black hole. On the train, there were extraordinary individuals who had acquired the Eight Marvelous Techniques. Wu Gen Sheng sat alone in a train compartment, sobbing while lying on a coffin. The coffin contained Feng Bao Bao.
Seeing herself in the coffin, Feng Bao Bao was desperate to know the truth. At that moment, Duan Mu Ying appeared in Lv Huan's body. Lv Liang wanted to kill Duan Mu Ying, but when faced with Lv Huan's face, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only kneel down and cry in anguish, hating himself for causing Lv Huan's demise.
Duan Mu Ying told Feng Bao Bao, Zhang Chu Lan, and Lv Liang to follow her to witness the truth of the Year of Jia Shen. Wang Ye was sleeping in his bed, but when he sensed something was amiss, he had already entered the black hole. It seemed that everyone related to the chaos of the Year of Jia Shen was inside the black hole.
