Chapter 70 Memories Turn into the Wind~

Yue Yiyue stood there, something seemed to be eagerly emerging from his mind, and a blurry figure in his mind became clearer as Yu An spoke.

Our first encounter was under a beautiful osmanthus tree.

That tree was very tall and strong. Yue Yiyue would look at it on his way back to his rented room after finishing his part-time job.

Occasionally, I would stop there, smelling the fragrance of the early osmanthus, and wonder if I should take some back with me so that I could study how to make osmanthus wine with the mothers when I return to the orphanage next time.

That day was the same, except that under the osmanthus tree stood a person more beautiful than the flowers. Just by her standing there, Yue Yiyue felt her heart skip a beat, and then it pounded like a tight drum, making her breathing rapid. A voice kept telling her in her head that this person was very special, very special, and that she had to get to know her.

The woman in the white shirt, so white it seemed to reflect light, had an expressionless face, yet she was exceptionally captivating. The pale osmanthus blossoms behind her served as a perfect backdrop, adding a touch of natural beauty to her stunning appearance.

At that time, Yue Yiyue didn't even know what love was. He felt hungry, and with just one glance, he wanted to devour the woman in front of him.

Let her melt into your stomach, become one with you, so that she can feel at ease.

Startled by his own thoughts, Yue Yiyue was so shocked that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. His mind returned to normal, and he began to despise his lustful thoughts.

He also focused some of his attention on the woman, ready to help her out at any time, since the lunatic opposite him seemed to have some rather unpleasant ideas.

The person standing there was naturally Gu Nanqiu. At this moment, she was frowning and looking at the person in front of her with some distress, as if she didn't know how to refuse him.

The man, whom Yue Yiyue referred to as a lunatic, stared at Gu Nanqiu with a fierce look, as if he would not give up until Gu Nanqiu left with him.

More and more people gathered to watch the show from the roadside, and some even egged them on, urging them to take the person away quickly.

They did take him away, but not that mentally ill person who looked like he was about to die.

It was Yue Yiyue.

As he threw the trash in his hand, the mentally ill man was about to yell at whoever was so blind when he turned around and saw Yue Yiyue, who had a calm expression on his face.

He fell silent instantly.

They watched in silence as the real tyrant of the street swaggered forward, dragged the man away, and no one dared to utter a sound.

That's quite normal, though, because this street used to be in chaos when rules were introduced.

Before they could react, Yue Yiyue and her friends grabbed them and beat them up.

In order to avoid dying at Yue Yiyue's hands before they even met the rules, they had always behaved themselves.

Until this woman appeared today, they were like they were bewitched...

They chuckled and apologized, and one of the quick-witted ones picked up the trash on the ground and took the lead in slapping himself a few times. Only then did the others realize what they had just done... They were such beasts.

The rich fragrance of osmanthus blossoms permeated their breath, becoming the mark of their first encounter.

Yue Yiyue's bland and tasteless life has gained another person.

While Yue Yiyue was at work, Gu Nanqiu would find a sunny spot in her 30-square-meter room to look at Yue Yiyue's old textbooks, waiting for him to come back and teach her anything she didn't understand.

The perceptive Yue Yiyue noticed that the woman she had picked up seemed different, but for some selfish reasons, she said nothing.

After that, Yue Yiyue couldn't remember anything. It was like watching a TV series and then a pop-up message reminding her that it hadn't been updated yet.

————

Yu An watched as Yue Yiyue seemed to be thinking about something. She was hesitant to speak, but she felt uneasy standing there.

Her sixth sense told her it was time to go.

"Yue Yiyue, don't worry too much about Gu Nanqiu. She should be fine. I tried to catch her according to the rules, but she scared me away when I tried to get close to her."

Being scared away by Gu Nanqiu is not a humiliation. After all, anyone who sees the thick tentacles behind him swiftly crushing the monster in his hands as if cutting vegetables would also run away quickly.

Even a monster's life matters.

Yue Yiyue pulled herself out of her reverie and smiled, "Thank you. Speaking of which, I've had some memory problems since I came here."

"Many things from the past are a bit blurry to me. Could you tell me about them?"

Hearing Yue Yiyue's words, Yu An looked around suspiciously: "Let's talk as we go. I don't feel safe here. It will take some time to get to the next area."

————

Yu An didn't know much about them, only that the game in which he met them caused the world to collapse because of Yue Yiyue.

Yue Yiyue used something unknown to drag Gluttony directly into a chaotic area, the birthplace of all evil.

Then the forensic doctor went in as well.

No one knows what happened afterward, but these survivors were kicked out of the instance.

When I saw Yue Yiyue again, only a year had passed, but he looked much older. By then, there were already many legends about Yue Yiyue in the safe zone.

I heard she's chasing a monster, and in order to free that monster from the constraints of the rules, she agreed to a bet with the Supreme God.

These were all just rumors, but Yu An knew that if the monster was related to Gu Nanqiu, then it was definitely true.

Because Yue Yiyue had been protecting everyone from the very beginning, even when someone threatened to kill Gu Nanqiu as a blood sacrifice in order to leave the instance.

Yue Yiyue only cut out the tongue of the person who spread the rumor.

He's only eighteen years old, yet he's incredibly ruthless.

Later, Yu An made inquiries and learned that Yue Yiyue was an orphan who had always been bullied.

In a region rife with bizarre and fantastical rules, a world where order has completely collapsed, he fought his way through countless battles with his own fists before finally finding peace.

Yu An scratched his head: "After that, I became a monster. Some of the strange rules were cleared away, and some areas of the world returned to peace, while I wandered from one world to another."

"Speaking of which, my favorite is Laziness. I just need to lie down there. When someone comes, I can let her lie down with me. It's just a pity that the main god found that her area was particularly safe, which led to many people exploiting the bug, so he arranged Greed."

"During that period, I had to assist them in killing people every day. It was exhausting."

Yue Yiyue's mind was completely blank regarding this memory, but Yu An said that he had traveled through different worlds, which made Yue Yiyue somewhat curious.

Are there any differences between each world?

“There are subtle differences, and also the different unlucky ones who are thrown into it.” Yu An raised his head: “The place we are in now is actually a superposition of four or five worlds, maybe more.”

"But since everything is illusory, it won't have any impact. The place you're standing in now might be a school or a sculpture museum in another world, and there might even be many tourists stopping here to admire the exhibits."

He instantly understood the concept Yu An was talking about, as if he hadn't simply transmigrated into a book.

Instead, they thought they had transmigrated into a book.

Is there something misleading her?

But I do remember that book...

There's also the protagonist, Gu Nanqiu.

When passing by some shop windows, you can still see posters displayed...

Is Yu An lying?

Yue Yiyue blinked, and her pace gradually slowed down.

“It’s normal that you don’t understand. Even humans wouldn’t know. I only know this because I’ve been mutated and experienced many things in several worlds.” Yu An also understood that this was a fantasy. When He said it, He didn’t expect Yue Yiyue to believe it immediately, after all, they were different species now.

"But I can tell you that there's a know-it-all in D City. She should have the information you're looking for. Go there, and you might find out your fate."

"Or rather, why are you here when you are the winner?"

"And there's the bet. I'm reminding you not to let Gu Nanqiu know that you've remembered some of the things. That's absolutely not allowed."

Yu An looked at the special display case illuminated by ambient lighting; they had arrived at the last place.

"Yue Yiyue, you should be able to find Gu Nanqiu if you go through here. Remember, you must not let Gu Nanqiu know that you have remembered some things. I can only stay here and wait for you to come out."

Yue Yiyue looked at the sculpture in front of him, whose right ear was missing three small pieces, and stood there for a moment in thought: "Okay, thank you."

————

The moment his foot stepped in, Yue Yiyue felt a dizzying sensation.

When I looked up again, the scene had changed.

There was a cacophony of sounds around me: people answering phones, flipping through documents, and rushing around with files in their hands.

"I can't finish this document." A sob broke out from the corner.

The people around seemed used to it, only glancing at it with pity before continuing to run outside.

Yue Yiyue scanned the area and quickly found Gu Nanqiu, whose head was the only visible part of him, which was buried under a large number of folders.

She was about to move over there when someone in the corner grabbed her: "Newcomer?"

She muttered, "Another one? Seriously... oh well... if they're here, they're here."

She then shoved the document in her hand into Yue Yiyue's hand: "Put this in the conference room on the thirteenth floor. They'll need it for their meeting later. Some important people will be there soon. If you don't get it in five minutes, you're dead."

She said it casually, then pressed the timer beside her: "Go quickly."

Looking down at the thing in her arms, Yue Yiyue heard that strange "go to hell" again. She looked up at the spot where Gu Nanqiu had poked her head out and was mouthing to her, "Go first—I'll explain later!"

Yue Yiyue walked into the elevator with his things and saw a person wearing an employee badge standing there leisurely playing on their phone while holding a coffee.

Yue Yiyue stopped and stood there.

The man with the work badge touched his hair and looked at Yue Yiyue with some surprise, wondering why he had stopped here.

He scoffed, "What little ant? Don't you know this elevator is off-limits to people like you?"

"You just arrived, and the good-for-nothing who brought you here didn't explain things clearly?"

The thirteenth floor wasn't too difficult to climb, and Yue Yiyue decided not to cause any unnecessary trouble. She turned around and walked towards the area marked with the stairwell.

Just as he took a step, Yue Yiyue heard the person behind him chattering incessantly: "Hey, why are you ignoring me when I'm talking?"

Who do you think you are?
