Chapter 336 Escape Plan (16) - Memory Exposure

Wu Yi launched into a long-winded explanation to Wen Fei and the others: "Let me tell you, there's a non-fixed dungeon called..."

He paused for a moment, knowing that those who hadn't experienced it wouldn't understand what he was about to say.

He simply changed his wording, saying, "Regarding the desert, I've done it with my former teammates."

"After Sister Ning joined us, I swiped it again."

As you all know, once a dungeon has been cleared, it's rare to clear it again unless you use a card to do so.

As someone who had already done it, I was naturally going to remind my teammates, but I didn't expect that Sister Ning also knew...

Although Wu Yi tried his best to express himself with other words, when it came to key information, Wen Fei and the others, who had not experienced it before, only heard various "beep beep" sounds.

They were used to it. Although it was pointless for players to discuss dungeons, what else could they talk about if not dungeons?

When people get really bored, they'll try their best to understand even if they don't hear the whole story, and then they'll start gossiping.

It's fair to say that the content of the dungeon isn't important; what matters is the amazing things players encounter within it.

As long as it doesn't involve classified information, players can basically hear it all, which gives rise to the topic, leading to endless speculation and discussion.

While others couldn't hear everything Wu Yi said, Si Zhong listened to every single word.

Especially when Wu Yi talked about how Ning Shu deliberately hid the heart object in the dungeon and only put it back after the mission was completed, he frowned deeply.

Wu Yi continued, "I was puzzled and asked Sister Ning why she knew to hide this thing first. I thought I was the only one who knew."

Ning Jie said that this object would awaken other things sleeping in the ancient tomb, hindering our mission.

She also mentioned that when she first ran this dungeon, she accidentally picked up the item and was chased by players who were looking for it.

In the end, she didn't know how the other party knew she had the item, but she was saved after returning it.

To be honest, her experience is somewhat similar to that of my former teammate.

The more detailed Wu Yi's explanation, the more Si Zhong frowned, and his face became terrifyingly gloomy.

Because what he said was exactly the same as what Ning Shu had experienced, the person Ning Shu had met back then was him, and Ning Shu shouldn't remember the contents of this instance.

Because that happened before she was resurrected, and she didn't know how many times she had been resurrected before their most recent encounter.

In his most recent resurrection, he was quite certain that she had not experienced the Desert Trail dungeon.

For some reason, he specifically checked her experience data, and only this once!

If she can remember the contents of the dungeon from so long ago, it can only mean one thing—she, like him, has memories after being resurrected!

If it's true, then she's really good at acting, she's completely fooled him!

—Unforgivable!

This is how Si Zhong felt upon discovering the truth that Ning Shu possessed memories. Looking at Ning Shu walking back from the woods, he revealed a smile that held no clear meaning.

When Ning Shu returned, she saw Wu Yi and Wen Fei bragging, while Si Zhong stood quietly to the side.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Si Zhong's aura was somewhat cold, just like when she first met him.

She went over to Si Zhong and asked, "What's wrong?"

Could it be that Wu Yi and the others weren't including him in their games, and he was upset? But he doesn't seem like that kind of person.

In the past few months, he hasn't been very enthusiastic about martial arts and the others, preferring to stay alone.

Si Zhong's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Ning Shu and smiled, "I was just listening to their conversation."

Ning Shu thought perhaps she was overthinking it: "It's good that nothing's wrong. Let's get ready to go back and rest for a few days."

They returned to the safe zone. Ning Shu got off the bus halfway into the city and told Li Mengqi that they were going to buy some things.

Surprisingly, Si Zhong didn't say he would go with them, which relieved Ning Shu, but at the same time, she felt a vague unease in her heart.

She felt that it was the right thing to not let Si Zhong participate in the special dungeons, because she didn't quite understand him.

Ning Shu and Li Mengqi got off the bus to prepare for entering a special instance.

Their first visit was quite dangerous as they had no experience.

Make thorough preparations the second time so that they are not so passive.

Ning Shu had a lot of points, so she could easily buy things from the store or purchase items from other players.

Of course, this "surplus" is still incomparable to Si Zhong.

Ning Shu planned to let everyone rest for a few days before setting off, but an unexpected event occurred first, disrupting her plans.

The next day, Li Mengqi had just finished preparing lunch and asked Ning Shu to call everyone over for a meal.

Ning Shu first sent a message in the group, and after waiting for a while, he found that no one had come, so he went door to door to call them.

The lack of sound notifications on the game panel is inconvenient, as players often cannot see the information in a timely manner.

Zai Fumeng and the others were in a better position, as they lived in different floors. Si Zhong, on the other hand, had a more complicated situation, as he lived the furthest away from them.

Ning Shu called out to people based on proximity, calling out to everyone else before finally going to find Si Zhong.

Normally, after she knocks on the door, she leaves as long as Si Zhong answers and doesn't go inside.

But today Si Zhong said he had something to show her and asked her to come in.

Given Si Zhong's excellent performance over the past few months, Ning Shu had no doubts and went straight into the house.

As soon as I walked in, I noticed something furry in the living room. When I went over to take a look, I found it was a little rabbit.

Ning Shu bent down and picked it up, stroking its fluffy head repeatedly: "Where did this rabbit come from?"

Si Zhong appeared at the doorway, his back to the light streaming in from behind.

His expression was obscured, but his voice was somewhat cold: "I bought it. Don't you think it looks a lot like you?"

Caught off guard, Ning Shu was still rubbing the rabbit's fur: "How does it resemble me?"

Si Zhong: "In the animal world, aren't you just a rabbit?"

Ning Shu's hand suddenly stopped, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Why did he suddenly bring this up? Was it a test? Or did he... discover something?

When was it discovered? ...What should I do?

Just as her mind was in a complete mess, she heard the door behind her click shut again, and a chill inexplicably ran down her spine.

Turning to look at Si Zhong, she felt a little uneasy: "Why are you closing the door? We're about to go down for dinner, and they're all waiting for us."

The implication in her words was: Don't do anything rash. They all know I came up to find you. If I don't come down for a long time, they will come looking for me.

But Si Zhong is no ordinary person; he's never afraid of players causing trouble.

In the game, he might not be able to beat the dungeon boss, but he can definitely beat any player!

Si Zhong stopped beating around the bush: "You clearly had your memories after you were resurrected, so why have you been lying to me?"

As he spoke, he approached Ning Shu, "Why did you take the initiative to invite me to join you this time? Didn't you avoid me like the plague before?"

Ning Shu, considering her upcoming plans to leave the game, steeled her resolve and decided to stop pretending with him.

Since we've already used him to his fullest extent, we might as well just kill him and buy her time to leave the game.

She's just one dungeon away from clearing it, and once she does, she can leave the game forever!

Just as she was about to raise her hand, she saw Si Zhong brush aside the stray hairs by his ear, revealing a familiar object—ear cartilage clips.

That was a custom-made defensive item he created. At the time, everyone joked that they each wore one, making them look like a couple.

His actions at that moment were telling her not to try to hurt him; she had no chance of winning.
