Ye Nianzhen asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? What medium?"
The system exclaimed in exasperation, "Oh dear, it's just about creating some memorable experiences and inserting an object as a medium within those memories!"
In a flash, Ye Nianzhen recalled some modern melodramatic idol dramas or otome games with outdated plots that she had watched, and then it dawned on her: "I get it, it's the bond items!"
System: "That's right!"
Because their conversation was taking place in their minds, the people present felt the surrounding scenery gradually distorting, and their minds began to become hazy. However, they had heard what the system had said in their minds at the beginning. At this moment, looking at Ye Nianzhen's anxious face, all they could think was that they did not want to forget her, they could not forget her!
However, at this moment, Ye Nianzhen took an unexpected action. The place where they were meeting to discuss matters was that hotel. The hotel service was very thoughtful. Ye Nianzhen had bought a bouquet of flowers at the market, and they helped her find a beautiful vase and put the flowers in it.
At this moment, Ye Nianzhen grabbed all the flowers from the vase and distributed them to each of them like a kindergarten teacher handing out candy!
These flowers are actually some safe mutant plants. Because of their pleasant fragrance and long lifespan, they were collected by some people who were exploring outside and sold in the base. Their appearance is not much different from the original. Ye Nianzhen liked them all, so she bought one of each kind.
Now everyone has a flower, and none of them are the same. Holding the flowers, they all stand there, stunned. Seeing that the world is about to collapse, Ye Nianzhen simply shouts to everyone in unison, "Don't forget! Don't forget me..."
Of course, she didn't finish her sentence; the complete version should be: "Don't forget our plan!!!"
But because the world had completely collapsed, her words didn't get through. They stopped abruptly at just the right moment, and now everyone around them thought Ye Nianzhen had said to them, "Don't forget me!"
They were deeply moved; this memory was etched into their cerebral cortex like a nail, and it did not disappear even after the world was reset and they were brainwashed by the equipment.
Unfortunately, even though the system placed a weak barrier on them, most of their memories were still erased. But as the system said, once Ye Nianzhen appeared in front of them, once Ye Nianzhen dug out this deep memory that served as a medium, they would instantly remember everything.
And their counterattack will begin from that time!
It's time to truly take back control of their bodies and minds!

Meanwhile, in reality outside the illusion, the entire instrument is operating at high speed.
This was because not long ago, Su Mo noticed something unusual, and his intuition led him to press the restart button.
After the world is restarted, these people's memories should theoretically be updated and they should be reassigned to the identities that world has set for them.
Earlier, Su Mo would come down to the basement every now and then to check on these people. Their central base had been operating normally for many years, and the large bases outside that did not submit to their rule had been defeated. As for those insignificant small bases, they could not cause any trouble at all.
Among them, Sprout, a medium-sized base, has always been an exception. Despite not having much combat power and having a very low total number of people, most of whom are ordinary people without superpowers, they have been able to put up a stubborn resistance and have even gradually become a threat to the base.
Ultimately, it's all because of their leader—Ye Nianzhen.
This woman always seemed to anticipate their every move, as if she had experienced the same time and space countless times before.
Thus, the budding seedlings were able to survive, and even after experiencing many injuries and hardships, they did not completely collapse, until Su Mo sent Mu Guang to capture their leader.
Not much time had actually passed since they captured Ye Nianzhen. The time span in the illusion was subtly different from that in reality, making it difficult to measure with a specific amount of time. However, because their brains were constantly active while their bodies remained still inside the device, and they also lacked sufficient nutrition, their bodies gradually weakened.
This is one of the reasons why Su Mo is so confident. Even if Ye Nianzhen finds a way to break free from the illusion and return to reality, she will be facing a weak body that is likely unable to use her superpowers. She may not even be able to break through the nutrient tank of the device, and will eventually have to watch helplessly as she falls into a coma again.
As for the others, they naturally faced the same situation.
Su Mo arrived here a few minutes ago and found that some of these people were showing signs of waking up. He hurriedly went to the superhuman who was the illusion generator, the gaunt man connected to the device. He could roughly judge what had happened in the illusion world by projecting the influence of this man's brain.
He tapped the instrument panel a few times, and saw the man twitch a few times, his eyes rolling back as if he were experiencing some great pain. Then a screen was projected onto the opposite wall, the image of which was somewhat blurry and shaky, but it was clear that Ye Nianzhen and the others were gathered together, discussing something.
Not everyone from the illusion was there; Mu Guang and Gu Shibing were not there, but Ye Nianzhen had gathered them together, which was clearly not a good sign.
Moreover, as the conversation continued, their bodies trembled to varying degrees, and their eyes moved rapidly, as if they were about to wake up.
This led Su Mo to interpret it as a dangerous signal, prompting him to decide to restart the world directly.
Because projecting the images into the man's mind for an extended period would cause irreversible damage to his brain, ultimately malfunctioning the entire illusionary device, Su Mo did not continue watching what happened next.
She didn't see the flower delivery or what Ye Nianzhen did. Also, because Mu Guang and Gu Shibing weren't with Ye Nianzhen at the time, Su Mo judged them to be companions who could still be trusted.
With that, the entire world has been restarted.
Since the world settings are all random, Su Mo didn't know what the background of this new illusionary world was. He stared coldly at Ye Nianzhen's somewhat blurry face in the nutrient solution through the glass nutrient tank. At this moment, Ye Nianzhen was going through something, her brows were furrowed, and her expression was somewhat struggling.
Su Mo watched for a moment, then sneered and left the basement.
The basement lights automatically went out after he left. As the basement door slowly closed, the last ray of light disappeared from the room, leaving only the dim, multicolored lights on the instruments flashing on and off, like the quiet breathing of some sleeping monster.
A new illusion has begun.
