Although everyone still had great doubts about Ash's speculation, there was no doubt that the atmosphere in the venue had eased a lot, and no one drew their swords and looked around at each other.

Because they all agree on at least one thing: they must have a close relationship, which is why they came to this amnesia cabin together.

As for whether they are friends, lovers, or relatives, those are all minor details.

If they were given more time, they would be able to figure it out, but the negative effects of amnesia are too great: you suddenly appear in a strange place, with a few strangers around you, you can't find anyone to rely on, you can't even remember your own name, it's like a newborn baby thrown into the street, facing the gravity of reality alone, and the air seems to want to suffocate you.

It’s just that babies have no other coping strategies except crying, but it’s different for magicians - violence has not been erased from their bodies.

In the single-player story mode of the wooden house, most magicians tend to attack phantoms out of panic, but the phantoms cannot be destroyed, and the magicians can also gain a sense of security through violence in catharsis.

Even if they can’t calm down, they can at least recognize their situation and choose to leave or accept the game.

But multiplayer mode is different - isn't it better to direct violence at 'strangers' you don't know than at your own phantom?

It was almost natural for Ash and Sonia to draw their swords and confront each other just now. Sonia was very cautious and had a bad temper. If Ash had the same temper as her, they would almost certainly fight. Fortunately, Denzel came in and interrupted their battle round, and then the phantoms appeared to explain and distracted their attention.

But their relationship crisis remains unresolved because the cabin is so small and if a quiz game is going to be held, other people must be present.

Their rationality is stretched too thin and they cannot bear the "attention of others" any longer. As long as other people exist, they cannot play the game.

The phantoms had no plan for this situation. They knew how to guide and appease the magicians, but the cabin mechanism did not have the function to mediate the conflicts among the magicians.

However, Phantom didn't have to mediate the conflict.

The reason they appeased the magician was just to make the quiz game go on. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the result would most likely be that only one of the four people would be left, and the others would either be driven away or killed.

Although the number of participants has decreased, the quiz game can continue as long as there are people in the cabin.

The person who stays at the end can answer questions from four people. If she can answer other people's questions correctly, she can naturally get the rewards from others.

Therefore, when Ash and the other three were discussing their relationship, the phantoms did not interfere. They thought they would develop into a fatal fight, but they did not expect Ash to unite all the others, including Denzel who came later... The spectator, the sword lady, and the witch quickly glanced at the queen, and the queen looked back at them calmly.

"It sounds like you have reached a consensus." The viewer said, "Are you interested in answering questions?"

"Wait, you just said you have our memories." Sonia suddenly remembered something: "Then can you tell us what the relationship is?"

"No." The witch shook her finger: "We cannot reveal any specific information to you. You must answer the questions in a state of complete amnesia."

Ash said, "In addition to revealing information, if I ask you to do something, will you agree?"

"What's up?"

"For example, you." Ash pointed at the viewer, then at Sword Princess: "Go kiss her, preferably a wet kiss."

The faces of the viewers and Sword Princess did not change at all, and even their eyelashes did not tremble. But for some reason, the main characters always felt that the light in the wooden house was a little dim.

Without waiting for the phantoms to answer, Sonia grabbed Ash by the collar and blushed, "What are you talking about!"

"Think about it, they are phantoms with our memories, right? They can communicate and seem to have the ability to think, which means they can be regarded as 'another me'." Ash was very calm: "If the viewer and Sword Princess can kiss very naturally, it means that we are in a relationship."

"What if they don't want to?"

"Then lower the level of probing and change from kissing to hugging. If hugging is okay, then we must have a close relationship similar to that of family members." Ash said, "Relying on this method, we can slowly test the depth of everyone's relationship."

Sonia was stunned, thinking about the feasibility of this method.

Ash grabbed Sonia's hands and took them away from her collar. "Although I haven't been making a scene or losing my temper, I've also lost my memory. How scared you are makes me feel uneasy, so not only you, I also want to find evidence that can prove our relationship."

"I also want to trust you without reservation." He whispered, "In this dark world, nothing can make you feel more at ease than handing your hand to others."

At this moment, the phantoms seemed to finally understand the instructions in Ash's words.

The viewer waved his hands and shook his head, doubly denying Ash's request: "No, we are only responsible for guiding you to answer the questions, and will not agree to any requests other than answering the questions."

"That's the request for answering the question!" Ash said immediately: "I think it is very necessary for you to kiss Sword Princess--"

"Although we are only temporary afterimages, we also have a certain level of intelligence." Sword Princess said calmly: "Don't try to convince us with words. We fully understand that you want to obtain memory information through our interaction, which is not allowed. Give up."

Seeing the phantoms refuse, Sonia was a little dissatisfied: "Can't you be flexible? You are me after all..."

"If you yourself become a thought that can only stay for a moment, will you fulfill other people's wishes?" Sword Princess sneered: "You should be glad that I am not the real you - otherwise you will be in more trouble."

Sonia thought about her own character and shut her mouth in dismay.

"That means we can't find evidence to prove our relationship." Ash said, "Then let's temporarily assume that you are all my lovers or lovers, or do you prefer to be my sister?"

Diya said timidly, "Sister."

"Why do we have to choose between the two?" Sonia asked, "Can't we choose neither?"

"Because this is the intelligence basis for our answering the questions." Ash said seriously: "Let me put it this way. If you are all my lovers, it means that you are willing to share your lover. Three logical conditions can be extended from this: First, the relationship between us is not equal. I am in an advantageous position. This advantage may come from my individual strength or social status. Second, we have a major interest bond, so you cannot leave me rationally. Third, many things may have happened between us, so you are emotionally unwilling to give up on me."

"If the above three conditions are not met, then there is no way to explain why we are in a relationship. The above three logical conditions can serve as the basis for your answer and assist you in making a judgment. Similarly, if you are my sister, you can also extend the corresponding logical conditions."

"I don't mean to take advantage of you, but in the case of complete amnesia, this little bit of reference is the only lifeline we can grasp."

Sonia's face turned red and white. Seeing Ash's reasonable and well-reasoned arguments, and seeing that she had just been so arrogant and unreasonable, she felt inferior and ashamed for a moment: "Who knows what you are thinking!"

"If I have to choose," Denzel, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I'd choose lover."

Sonia looked at her in surprise: "Why?"

"No reason." Denzel said calmly, "I just feel that I am a little far from the word sister."

Ash looked at Sonia, "What do you choose? Actually, this is just a basis for answering questions, not our real relationship. If you don't like these two options, you can also come up with a new identity, as long as it can explain why we are together."

Sonia did not answer. She looked down at the grain of the wooden floor, holding her right hand with her left hand, looking a little hesitant.

If Denzel also chooses to be a younger sister, she will definitely choose the younger sister.

However, after Denzel chose the lover identity, Sonia felt weird.

I clearly don't remember anything, I clearly don't know who is who, and I clearly only feel vigilance and suspicion in my heart, but I still feel an inexplicable sense of frustration.

This sense of frustration was not outward anger, but internal blame. It was as if as long as she continued to maintain her tough hedgehog form, she would lose something, or miss something.

Sonia turned her head to glance at Jian Ji, who looked at her coldly, with subtle emotions in her pupils that no one could decipher.

"…lover."

"Um?"

"It's not real anyway." Sonia picked a chair and sat down in despair: "Come and answer the questions!"

"It just so happens that each of us has an identity, sister, lover, and sweetheart." Ash said, "Let's call each other like this from now on."

Diya pulled Ash's sleeve: "What about you?"

Ash was startled, then smiled and said, "I really forgot about myself... However, I chose your identities, so mine should be decided by you. What identity do you want me to have?"

Sonia said unhappily, "Our slaves."

Denzel thought for a moment. "Our master?"

Diya hesitated for a moment. She saw a painting hanging on the wall of the wooden house. In the painting, a knight was protecting the princess from a dragon. She said, "I hope you are... the knight who protects us."

"Okay, I choose the Knight." Ash decided happily: "It seems that we won't get any new information if we continue the discussion, so--"

"Start answering the questions."

Ash pulled Diya to sit on the bench, and Denzel went over and sat next to Sonia.

The four looked at each other for a moment, and Ash asked, "Who's going first?"

This sentence was just like asking which oil barrel wanted to volunteer to be a firefighter. Diya immediately shook her head and Denzel fell silent. Ash thought that no one would be the first sacrifice, and just as he was about to raise his hand, he heard a slap on the table next to him.

"I'll go first."

The sound like wind chimes revealed determination.

Sonia stared at Jian Ji, and it was unclear whether the light in her eyes was burning with courage, inferiority or stubbornness. Unfortunately, the only person in the wooden house who could understand her was sitting opposite her.

"Are you so eager to prove yourself?" Sword Princess lowered her eyelids: "As you wish."

"Now, start your first question."

Jian Ji stood up and pulled out a picture album from the bookshelf next to her - no one could remember whether there was a picture album there before, and no one even remembered whether there was a bookshelf there just now.

"Who do you like best among these three?"

Sword Princess unfolded the album and pointed out three paintings:

A middle-aged peasant woman dressed simply;

A skinny, dark-skinned little girl who doesn't look cute at all;

And... a hooded man sitting in a small boat.

"First, eliminate this wrong option." Ash said, pointing at the hooded man in the painting.
