And it's also in the [Tavern of Misfortune] instance.
Gu Xinghe also remembered a player with a tragic background, just like Zheng Yiqiu—Wang Penghai.
According to what Gu Xinghe later learned, he was overwhelmed by life after contracting an incurable disease in modern society, and became taciturn.
But after being chosen as a player, he seemed to pin his hopes on finding a supernatural medicine that could cure his illness in the game's dungeons.
Both players undoubtedly behaved quite strangely at the very beginning of the [Tavern of Doom] instance.
Later, Gu Xinghe came into contact with the mirror in the Tavern of Misfortune and received information collected by the tavern.
I learned that both of them seemed to have some kind of tragic background.
Gu Xinghe thus developed an impression of them.
Even more so, just before he boarded the train, he was surveying the entire train.
Gu Xinghe then suddenly discovered—
On this dream train, besides Zheng Yiqiu, who was the only player he knew, there was no other one.
The player Wang Penghai, whom he mentioned earlier, is also a member of the train crew.
Moreover, unlike Zheng Yiqiu, who was once a resident singer at the Tavern of Misfortune but has now changed jobs to become a flight attendant.
Wang Penghai was assigned the job of cleaning the tavern at the Tavern of Misfortune.
On this dream train, the job remains that of a cleaner.
Because theoretically, after the [Tavern of Doom] instance ends.
Zheng Yiqiu and Wang Penghai, who were not familiar with each other to begin with, are unlikely to have much interaction.
Furthermore, the probability of the two becoming teammates again in the same instance within a short period of time is not high.
So, at this moment, Gu Xinghe coincidentally discovered that the two people were on the same train in the Dreamland.
He couldn't help but wonder if the two of them had encountered something together after the Doom Tavern instance.
That's why they entered the Dreamland together and then came to this train.
When Gu Xinghe was in the [Tavern of Misfortune] instance, he naturally never thought he would see Zheng Yiqiu, one of the three, again.
It will happen under such a peculiar circumstance.
Moreover, what's really strange is that during that brief contact earlier...
Gu Xinghe could sense that Zheng Yiqiu did not recognize him.
This isn't narcissism to an excessive degree.
At the same time, it's not because Gu Xinghe is currently in the form of a mist creature without a specific appearance.
Therefore, Zheng Yiqiu naturally couldn't recognize him.
Or perhaps it's because so much time has passed that the other person has forgotten the teammates who went through a dungeon with them a long time ago.
Rather, in her past memories, there was no such person as Gu Xinghe at all.
Not only that, Gu Xinghe also noticed that Gu Yiqiu also had no memory of the game instance he participated in.
For Zheng Yiqiu, the [Tavern of Misfortune] is her beginner dungeon.
Even if the other party immediately encountered some kind of accident and came to the dream world after that.
So Zheng Yiqiu will at least still have the memory of that first game instance she experienced.
But in Gu Xinghe's perception.
Zheng Yiqiu had absolutely no idea about the existence of game systems or quest instances.
Even so, perhaps it's due to some kind of self-protection mechanism in her brain.
Even Zheng Yiqiu herself naturally ignored this incongruity.
In her mind, she was rescued by a dream train she encountered along the way after accidentally entering a dream world.
Gu Xinghe didn't know if Wang Penghai was in the same situation as Zheng Yiqiu.
But perhaps it's because of the gradual improvement in mind-reading abilities.
He was able to sense that Zheng Yiqiu's past memories were not altered like those of Nag.
It's not like the ghoul's lair in the cemetery before.
Because it is located in the spatial gap where two spaces overlap.
Therefore, even if it truly exists, it is a blank area in Gu Xinghe's perception and cannot be sensed.
Zheng Yiqiu's situation is as if there is a mysterious, unknown entity involved.
Because after noticing her unique experience, I became quite interested in the act of players creating game instances.
Therefore, this being directly "swallowed" all the relevant experiences.
This also caused Zheng Yiqiu to completely forget about the game's dungeons.
While "consuming" this memory, the other party also read it.
When I realized this.
Gu Xinghe recalled what the viewers had said in his live stream after seeing Zheng Yiqiu's presence—
Because Zheng Yiqiu's player live stream room has not been opened since the newbie dungeon ended.
So everyone thought she was already dead, but they never expected to meet her again through Gu Xinghe's live stream.
Therefore, according to this timeline...
Zheng Yiqiu did lose her identity as a player while her memories were "eaten".
Moreover, Gu Xinghe's other memories, including those of Zheng Yiqiu, seem to have been extensively altered.
This operation seems to be exactly the same as the one performed on Nag.
So, unsurprisingly—
Zheng Yiqiu has no memory of how she entered the dream world from the real world.
It's like being randomly transported while walking down the street.
However, if Zheng Yiqiu's memories were indeed "eaten" by some being...
Has this entity become aware of the existence of players and the game system because of Zheng Yiqiu's memory?
Gu Xinghe was unaware of this.
But since Zheng Yiqiu seems to have accidentally entered the Dreamland after the beginner dungeon.
It's been such a long time since then.
From the player's perspective, it seems that nothing unusual has happened in the game system.
It seems there's nothing for Gu Xinghe to worry about.
Moreover, since the game system has its own way of selecting players and live-streaming in another world...
Naturally, there should be corresponding measures to deal with this situation.
Moreover, after understanding that beneath the real space, those layers of space seem to be both a protection for reality and a barrier to the gods.
Gu Xinghe felt that he seemed to have a connection with the game system in the first modern world he transmigrated to.
There, I gained a deeper understanding of the reasons for selecting players and conducting live streams.
As mentioned before, there are gods or mysterious beings in a space that is even deeper than the Dream Realm.
It seems difficult for them to exert any real influence or interference on this world through layers of spatial barriers.
So, the game system, or rather, all game instances.
Is this a means of attempting to extend "tentacles" into the real world?
