Cen Yu wiped the blood off the knife.

The moment the monster's head fell off, the other party was no longer Song Xia, but turned into the monster's original form.

Cen Yu kicked the monster away and ripped off its coat.

He saw Song Xia, who was almost completely digested, inside the monster's belly.

Cen Yu discovers something: the monsters that eat humans not only become the same as the humans they ate, but also keep repeating the things they did in their previous lives.

Before her death, Song Xia had been searching for her younger brother. So, after the monster left the movie theater, it came to the motel, a place where Song Xia had inquired about her brother's whereabouts. Then, it followed them all the way to the Oasis Movie Theater.

Cen Yu looked at the coat on the monster, and finally took it off.

He draped his coat over his forearm and then noticed something in the coat pocket... Cen Yu reached into the pocket and found a crumpled piece of paper and a wrapped bracelet.

Cen Yu unfolded the crumpled paper and found two slips of paper. The first one read—

This is all my property; strangers are welcome to take it all.

If possible, please find someone lingering near the Oasis Cinema. His name is Song Xia, and he is my brother.

Tell him that you've gone to the Digital Zone and become a member of a Noble Dungeon team in Zone 1, and that you won't be returning to the Wilderness.

If you'd like, you can also pass him the second note.

The second note read—

Brother, I have never hated you.

Cen Yu held the two slips of paper in her hand.

Song Xia's younger brother probably didn't expect that he would encounter a monster that could disguise itself instead of a passing hunter.

Monsters devour humans, consume their bodies, see their memories, and take their place to search for the people and things they cherished in life.

Song Xia's younger brother probably knew that he couldn't leave that instance or the mutated zone, so he thought that if someone could find his coat, they might be able to pass this information on to his older brother.

The monster can only read their strongest emotions and memories before they died, so the monster came to the Oasis Cinema according to Song Xia's younger brother's idea.

Cen Yu looked up at the closed monitoring screen and remained silent for a long time.

...

He Yuxing noticed that Cen Yu walked towards screening room number 5 after leaving the monitoring room.

He searched on the ground for a while and finally found the hand missing a finger that he had seen in the surveillance footage.

Because so much time had passed, the palms were no longer recognizable. He Yuxing glanced at them, then took off his cloak and wrapped the items inside it.

The monkeys were initially asking them what they were doing.

Cen Yu didn't have time to answer right away. He went back to the monitoring room, picked up his coat, and wrapped the rest of Song Xia in it.

The monkey who followed naturally saw the horrific scene in the monitoring room. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he and Cen Yu started cleaning up together... He recognized the coat and the monster, and naturally understood that Song Xia was already dead.

They went to the Oasis Cinema together, and the monkey used its abilities to dig a hole.

Song Xia, wrapped in a coat, and the mangled hand hidden in a cloak were thrown into the pit together.

Their commotion was so loud that the other team members in the movie theater quickly noticed it. When Jiang Min came over, Cen Yu was throwing bracelets and notes into the small pit.

The monkey quickly told Jiang Min about it.

Cen Yu then added details of what he saw in the monitoring room.

One by one, the team members who emerged fell silent... Everyone stood beside the filled-in pit. This was a tradition in the mutated zone: if they were capable and the situation was not dangerous, the hunter team would collect the bodies of other hunters and wanderers who died unexpectedly.

On one hand, it was to prevent dead hunters from turning into monsters, and on the other hand, the hunters hoped that someone could help them in this way.

Without his cloak, He Yuxing stood beside the pit, with huge white wings behind him, as if an angel had descended.

The monkey stared at him for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Are there really angels in the world?"

If angels truly exist, why do most people in the apocalypse live in purgatory every day?

“Eden…” He looked in the direction of the digital area, not understanding why only a select few could live so high and mighty in Eden.

No one answered the monkey's question, of course. Cen Yu took off his cloak and tossed it to He Yuxing. "Adam and Eve could be expelled from Eden." He looked at the monkey. "Why couldn't those nobles?"

When Cen Yu reached the entrance of the movie theater, the barbershop employee blocked his way.

"Can you still watch the movie theater's surveillance footage?" he asked Cen Yu.

Cen Yu knew he was fake, a monster from the mutated zone. "Okay, but only for 15 days."

After listening, he walked towards the cinema's monitoring room without turning his head.

Knowing the other person's identity, Jiang Min immediately followed. Monkey, unaware of the situation, also followed. As he passed He Yuxing, he whispered an apology, then went over and punched Cen Yu's shoulder, saying, "What you said makes sense."

He Yuxing walked over and squeezed between the monkey and Cen Yu.

The monkey didn't seem to care, and instead whispered to Cen Yu, "Don't you think the moth is a little strange?"

I suspect him.

Moth was the nickname of the team member at the barbershop, and Cen Yu knew, of course, that the other person had long been replaced by the monster from the shopping street.

Throughout the journey, the moth remained remarkably quiet, so quiet that Cen Yu almost forgot he was a monster.

...

The monitoring room can only view videos from the past 15 days; the original monster's corpse has been dragged into the corridor.
