Old Cen, the gatekeeper?
Cen Yu never expected that her character's identity would have this hidden plot.
To prevent Yu Sheng from suddenly appearing, the group had already arrived in the classroom. Cen Yu casually leaned against one of the desks and looked at Pei Hengyun, "Since that really is your house, why are there posters of basketball stars all over the bedroom?"
It was because of this that he mistakenly judged that Pei Hengyun did not exist, and directly replaced Cen Yu's identity.
“Because you told me before that we shouldn’t put up posters at home,” Pei Hengyun said. “You used to come to my house often to do your homework, so you simply put up the posters in my room.”
Cen Yu glanced at Pei Hengyun's expression and guessed that this was most likely the truth.
However, there was still one thing he didn't understand: if Pei Hengyun knew that Yu Sheng had a problem, why would he still decide to return to his hometown after receiving Yu Sheng's call?
He looked at Pei Hengyun, "Wouldn't it be better if you didn't attend the class reunion?"
Pei Hengyun knew that Cen Yu might not believe what he was saying, but he still said, "The Yu Sheng I remember was also the class monitor."
This is the most terrifying part: Yu Sheng changed everyone's memories.
He only remembered dying in an accident during his second year of high school, but then inexplicably being resurrected as a soul. Although Cen Yu had no memory of his own existence, he was able to appear in front of everyone...
In his memory, his own existence replaced Cen Yu's identity.
He initially thought it was because he had "come back to life," but he was also uneasy. So, the moment he received Yu Sheng's call, he thought of taking Cen Yu back to his hometown to see if his classmates remembered Cen Yu.
Just as he expected, everyone forgot about Cen Yu's existence.
All I remember is that Pei Hengyun was a classmate of He Yongning and Jiang Tuan.
As Cen Yu listened to Pei Hengyun's explanation, he tapped his thigh lightly with his fingers a few times, then looked at Pei Hengyun and asked, "So... you went back to your hometown just to confirm this?"
Pei Hengyun nodded honestly.
Cen Yu immediately looked at the other three people, "What about you?"
When He Yongning was asked this question, he also sensed that something was wrong.
He had been away from his hometown for ten years and could say he had no attachment to it whatsoever, but when he received Yu Sheng's call, a thought inexplicably popped into his head—
"I want to go back and take a look."
Fan Jie's face turned even paler. He looked at the group of people and said, "I...I don't know..."
"I just remember receiving a call from the class monitor."
"Then I suddenly thought, I should go back."
As for Jiang Tuan, he was originally from the village, so it doesn't seem surprising...
But the terrifying thing about this is that Yu Sheng is clearly not human, yet he has existed in everyone's memory for so long. If it weren't for that group photo, everyone would probably still think that Yu Sheng is their class monitor and now a teacher at Meiman High School.
Even Teacher Yan probably thinks so.
The other party has already become a physical entity in this village, and everyone can see and touch it... Even though Cen Yu doesn't know much about this kind of thing, he can sense that it must be extremely troublesome.
Looking at the group of people before him, each with their own thoughts, Cen Yu realized that he had already completed the first task.
The first task, "Who am I?", was completed the moment the group photo and the workbook appeared.
He is Cen Yu, a former student of Meixing High School.
The remaining two tasks are to rewrite everyone's fate and fulfill "Xiaoyu's" wish... Cen Yu felt that from some perspectives, this might also be considered a task?
Why did Yu Sheng call these people back for the class reunion and then kill them?
If Cen Yu and He Yongning were involved in the game at the time, what about the rich second generation?
Who else is there?
The original work didn't mention the fate of those who left alone, but the fate of the rich kid was quite obvious. Cen Yu simply sat on the table and looked at the rich kid, "Are you hiding something from us?"
"Wh-what?" Upon hearing this, the rich kid suddenly panicked.
Cen Yu looked at him, then raised her chin and said, "Hold him down."
He Yongning and Jiang Tuan immediately restrained Fan Jie, who looked panicked and was about to shout.
His reaction was so obvious, it practically told everyone—
I have something to hide from you.
Cen Yu glanced at the few people in the classroom.
In the original story, he could only see the fourth day. On the first day, Fan Jie died, and then everyone was trapped in this place by the mudslide.
Then another old classmate died. At this point, some people finally couldn't take it anymore and decided that even if there was a mudslide, they had to leave this place first.
Then a group of people simply left, and the fate of these people remains unknown.
On the fourth day, after locking Pei Hengyun in the room, he also died.
Cen Yu took a hammer out of his pocket, sat on the table, and weighed it in his hand. "What did you and Duan Zhou do back then?"
Duan Zhou was the old classmate who died later.
He obviously had no idea what the two men were up to, so he was just trying to bluff Fan Jie to see if he could get any new information out of him.
Upon hearing Duan Zhou's name, Fan Jie's face turned ashen, but he still stubbornly insisted, "I don't know what you're talking about..."
Upon hearing this, Cen Yu suddenly chuckled at Fan Jie and said, "Get out of the way."
He spoke directly to the two men who had restrained Fan Jie.
He Yongning and Jiang Tuan immediately let go. When Cen Yu saw Fan Jie preparing to escape, he kicked him in the knee... He moved extremely quickly, grabbing Fan Jie's collar and kicking him in the knee again, slamming him down onto the dusty ground.
He pressed his knee directly into Fan Jie's back, then slammed the hammer into the ground—
It stopped exactly 1 centimeter away from Fan Jie's hand.
Even though it didn't directly hit Fan Jie's fingers, the terrifying tremors and sounds coming from beside them still made Fan Jie almost scream.
Jiang Tuan, quick as a flash, covered her mouth.
Cen Yu looked down at the hammer in his hand, then gently tapped Fan Jie's head. "I'm not playing house with you now."
“You’d better tell me the truth… what did you do back then?” Cen Yu looked at Fan Jie, then suddenly smiled, a hint of emotion appearing on his usually cold face. “I have a bad temper, and besides, if you don’t tell me, we’ll all die.”
"Then why don't you go ahead first?"
As he spoke, he raised the hammer in his hand—
"Ugh!!" Fan Jie's tears were almost streaming down his face, and Jiang Tuan immediately moved his hand away in disgust.
Fan Jie was so scared he almost wet himself. He screamed at Cen Yu in despair—
"I said I wanted to go home!"
"I wish all of you country bumpkins would die!"
"Just let me go home!!"
