"In the novels I've read, the protagonist usually starts taking on quick transmigration missions when the body in the original world is already dead."
"So I died too?" Cen Yu asked again.
"No!" the fat cat meowed ingratiatingly. "Host, your body is still alive."
“That means brain death,” Cen Yu said.
[...and there was no meow either.]
Cen Yu looked at the orange cat on the screen and guessed that the other party probably couldn't tell him the answer directly.
"Am I supposed to keep doing missions forever?" Cen Yu could certainly feel that with each time he left the small world, his lost memories would slowly return... like pieces of a puzzle, he was slowly finding his previous memories.
In his memory, there were always gray skies and collapsed buildings... Of course, occasionally other fragments would flash by, such as him smiling at someone and then saying, "I'm gone."
He couldn't see who it was, only remembering that when he turned around, someone grabbed the hem of his shirt—
He might have turned around and said something, or he might have said nothing at all.
When the recollection reached this point, it could not proceed any further, probably because the fragment of that memory had not returned.
The system felt guilty and naturally dared not say anything.
Cen Yu knew that interrogating the system would be pointless... so he stood up. "Who is Yu Xinyu to me?" He thought for a moment and then added, "I mean, them..."
He could certainly sense the subtle commonalities among this group of people.
Several times when he completed the mission and left the instance world, he felt that it didn't matter to the system whether he completed the mission according to the original plot, as long as he entered these worlds.
[Haha, Yu Xinyu is a character from a novel...] The system chuckled dryly. [Haha...]
It chuckled a few times, but then, unable to continue laughing under Cen Yu's gloomy gaze, it covered its eyes with its paws. "I don't know."
Cen Yu stood up. "It's okay." He patted the computer screen, as if he were patting a big fat cat on the head through the screen. "I'll find it myself."
"You don't need to keep doing tasks." The system finally spoke, "If the host can recall all their memories, the task will naturally end."
The fat cat on the screen meowed at Cen Yu. [Cen Yu.]
"These worlds were created for you. You are the true protagonist of these worlds." The system swallowed the words it hadn't spoken; according to the rules, it couldn't reveal anything.
Cen Yu had already prepared to shut down his computer and leave. He had one hand in his pocket and was looking down at the orange cat on the screen.
"I know."
Otherwise, it would be impossible for every world to have a person named Cen Yu, who even uses his own appearance and name.
...
Upon hearing that the matter had been resolved, Cen Yu received messages from Chu Yichen and Meng Yunqiu.
Chu Yichen congratulated him on not being troubled by nightmares, while Meng Yunqiu said that he had found out about the mountain and then cautiously suggested that he should pay attention to Pei Leyun... perhaps he was not the person Cen Yu imagined.
“I know,” Cen Yu said.
He thought Pei Heng wasn't lying; they definitely wanted to take him away.
Humans think differently from them; for these things, perhaps only death is the sign of eternity and forever together.
He didn't ask Pei Leyun why she committed suicide back then. Based on his understanding of "them"... they definitely wanted to become ghosts so that they could completely haunt him and prevent him from contacting Chu Yichen.
Thinking of this, Cen Yu decided to remind Chu Yichen—
Be careful of strange things happening in your home.
He felt that even if Pei Leyun didn't take direct action, she would probably deliberately intimidate Chu Yichen, her potential rival in love.
After finishing discussing Pei Leyun's matter, Meng Yunqiu also informed Cen Yu of another matter—
"The company consulted a fortune teller who said it's normal that the building isn't dangerous, so working from home will end next week," Meng Yunqiu said. "Your wedding leave and bereavement leave are also..." It's about time they ended.
Cen Yu: "..."
He discovered that the only character in the novel who didn't forget her original aspirations was Meng Yunqiu, who only cared about going to work.
"Got it, boss." Cen Yu rolled his eyes. "I'll be at work on time."
...
On Monday, when Cen Yu arrived at the company, she was greeted by a group of employees whose resentment was palpable.
"Good morning." A colleague in the elevator greeted Cen Yu, and was about to ask him how his honeymoon was when someone bumped his shoulder. Only then did he remember that Cen Yu's fiancé had died unexpectedly.
He nodded somewhat awkwardly to Cen Yu, feeling that saying "please accept my condolences" was too presumptuous. In the end, he could only pat Cen Yu on the shoulder to express his sympathy and comfort.
Cen Yu nodded and squeezed into the elevator.
"Hey, Brother Qiu." The person in the elevator had just greeted Meng Yunqiu when Meng Yunqiu glanced at the elevator and then took a step back. "I'll wait for the next one."
Colleague: "?" This elevator isn't crowded at all.
Cen Yu looked at Meng Yunqiu outside the elevator and gave her a questioning look.
Meng Yunqiu looked at him, then turned her gaze to the top of the elevator.
Cen Yu looked up—
Hehe, the handsome young man saw us?
'Can that person outside see us too?'
Two oddly shaped things were perched on top of the elevator, constantly playing pranks by touching the ceiling lights, causing the elevator lights to flicker.
Cen Yu: "..." What bad luck!
He took a step outside and said, "I need to talk to Brother Qiu about something."
Then, watching the elevator doors close in front of them, Cen Yu glanced at Meng Yunqiu and asked, "Your eyes?"
