Scratch cards are rewards for a specific instance within the Mutation Zone.

There's a chance to scratch out rare, one-time-use items and skills, but because the items are unknown, the probability of getting a big prize is low. Therefore, the level of the dungeon rewards is not high, and it's within the range that Lis could take away and trade to Cen Yu without permission.

Cen Yu stuffed the scratch card into his pocket, then bent down to look at Guo Guo.

Guoguo was a girl with short, dark brown hair. She looked a little nervous, probably remembering that she had just injured Cen Yu... She glanced at Lisi, and finally whispered, "...How do you know me?"

This can be considered an admission of one's identity.

Cen Yu rested his hands on his knees. "I figured it out."

Upon hearing this, Lis looked on incredulous. "You used to work part-time as a kindergarten teacher?"

Perhaps not wanting to see such a warm scene in Screening Room 5, new monsters soon emerged from the corridor. Liss, though calling it a case of Cen Yu's saintly behavior, still waved to them the moment the monsters appeared—

A black hole suddenly appeared in the corridor, instantly swallowing up the monsters in the corridor.

To be precise, the moment those monsters stepped into the black hole, they turned to ashes.

Looking at Lisi and Guoguo, He Yuxing wondered if Cen Yu would be gentler to him if he shrunk down...?

Cen Yu straightened up and looked up at the corridor with several black holes. "Pretty impressive."

Although Liss didn't say anything, his face still had a "you know it" look on it.

Finally, the countdown ended, and Cen Yu looked at the quiet theater and said directly—

"Guoguo is here."

...

Jiang Min remained silent as he looked at the moth that was hugging the little girl.

Although he had guessed some of the truth from that puppet show, he had also hoped that Guoguo from the shopping street might have been taken away by a passing hunter team.

But obviously, the other party wasn't that different; there aren't that many lucky things happening in the wilderness and the mutation zone.

Cen Yu stood to the side without saying a word. The team members each had their own thoughts. Finally, someone spoke up, "...What about the moth?"

Although they already knew that the moth had disappeared when it was in the shopping street.

I do feel sorry for the people in the shopping street, but Moth is also one of their team members.

Humans cannot sympathize with monsters, even if these monsters were once human.

The "moth" looked up, and in the team members' sight, the skin on its body turned into fragments and fell away, revealing a person made of fragments.

She looked to be under 40 years old, and her body was covered in countless sutures.

She was simply waiting for passersby; the absurd rules of the shopping street prevented her from leaving… Unless a hunter was willing to take her away from the shopping street, she could only leave in someone else's place.

She can't remember many things anymore. Every time she dies, she has to be stitched back together. Because of so many deaths, she has forgotten why she left the shopping street to go to the Oasis Cinema. She only remembers that she should go there and must go there.

She is a monster, so she hunts people who pass through the shopping street, but often they don't make it to the Oasis Cinema, or she is quickly discovered and killed... and then she returns to the shopping street to wait for the next hunter to pass by.

She couldn't remember anything, but when she heard that she could watch the surveillance footage, she inexplicably felt that she could find clues, and then she saw the ball that she had forgotten.

Perhaps to enjoy her suffering, the puppet show tells her that she has forgotten something.

“The moth is dead,” she said.

Some of her teammates wanted to make a move, but in the end she just held Guoguo without saying a word.

She was a monster, and it was a fact that she killed the hunters who had passed by. Holding Guoguo, she said in her last words, "Monsters don't deserve any sympathy."

They are the product of mutation and distortion. Even the slightly rational monsters will gradually retain their memories as humans and eventually merge into the entire post-apocalyptic mutated world.

Jiang Min prepared to make her move.

Cen Yu leaned back in his chair and watched all of this. He Yuxing thought he would say something, but he didn't say anything. He just took out the item he had taken from the dungeon.

The woman tried to push Guoguo away, but Guoguo held on to her tightly.

As a monster from the mutated zone, Guoguo is certainly not what she looks like... Cen Yu knows this all too well.

He came to Jiang Min's side and shared the introduction of the props with him.

Jiang Min glanced at Cen Yu, then nodded.

Cen Yu directly applied the props to the woman and Guo Guo.

The images of both of them are slowly changing. The stitches on the woman's body disappear, and Guoguo runs towards her with the ball in her hands. Time is fixed on an afternoon in the shopping street. Because of the prop, their time will be trapped on this day.

Jiang Min reached out her hand one last time... and it was all over.

He Yuxing walked to Cen Yu's side, wanting to say something, but found that Cen Yu turned his head and smiled at him.

The smile was a little tired as he said to him, "...at least you won't die looking like a monster."

“If one day,” he said to He Yuxing, “I become a monster, please don’t save me. Kill me before I become a monster.”

Cen Yu didn't expect to get an answer from He Yuxing; he simply had another memory in that moment.

He saw off several of his teammates on a rainy day. He couldn't remember their faces, only the rain running down his cheeks.

Then he and the rest of the people scurried through the sewers like rats in a gutter... Soon the scene changed to a collapsed building, where he lay, surrounded by screams and roars he couldn't understand.
