Chapter 143: The 100th Anniversary of the Akina Mountain Speed King.
The Hanged Man was right.
He does have memories.
From his first entry into the No Man's Land during the time of Munash, to this moment before his impending death.
One hundred years.
He has all the memories.
Mu Nashe's name was changed later after he went to the Guangming Sanatorium; his original name was Jiang Yang.
At that time, he was just a newcomer who had accidentally fallen into a no-man's-land.
At 17, he had just stepped into Nanyang University with his left foot to study journalism when his right foot stepped into a no-man's-land and never left again.
It was like a joke that God played on him.
A happy family, a blissful life, and a promising future—to hell with the future! Even when he opens a window in a high tower, he complains that the wind and sand outside are so strong that they make his throat hurt.
At that time, he didn't have many friends. When he entered the courtroom, the people around him were either older or taller than him.
Protest! Why hire child labor?! This is illegal!
Hmm...very good. With just three sentences, he lowered the age standard of No Man's Land.
More and more children arrived, enough to fill a kindergarten. Jiang Xiaobawang Yang thus raised a troop of little scouts in this no-man's-land.
It's called a team, but there are only about 4 or 5 people.
Oh right, why 4 or 5? Because there's an idiot in the team.
The fool has a beautiful longsword, as beautiful as the fool himself, but the fool is not only foolish, he is also blind.
Big! Idiot! B!
He couldn't understand how a perfectly normal person could be a fool.
I don't understand why someone with a perfectly good face can't see their eyes.
I don't understand how low the moral standards are in Borderlands that they would even cheat people like this.
But it doesn't matter. Even if a fool calls him "boss," he'll drag people out of the trial by force.
Baby, let's stop trying to be heroes with weapons, okay? Didn't you see you've singed the boss's hair?
...never mind.
A fool can't see that.
"Goodness, put the sword down, the boss is alright, really."
The longsword clattered to the ground, and the blind man was routed.
He gently rubbed the head of the child who had snuggled into his arms; the child was a head taller and two years older than him.
Like a puppy.
But when he turned 18, the little tail that used to follow him suddenly disappeared.
He later learned that it wasn't a longsword at all, but rather the fool's innate talent: Justice.
Only a few people in the No Man's Land awaken their talents, and once one appears, they are fought over by major guilds.
He thought the fool must have found a new home.
I wonder if the new boss treats the idiot well.
[Player Jiang Yang's Talent Card: Judgment]
[Personal Talent: Angel's Horn]
【Instructions for Use 1: Sound the angel's horn to liberate the sleeping soul】
[Instructions for Use 2: The Judgment Card signifies that rebirth is within reach]
Jiang Yang was 20 years old that year.
His talent awakened, the Boy Scouts expanded, and Tower asked him, "Do you want to stay in the No Man's Land?"
Why stay?
I have severe bronchitis and I swallow sand every day. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my cough before I do anything.
So, his first henchman died.
More and more people will die in the future.
At first he would cry, but later... he didn't even have time to cry...
He stormed into the tower, his small, bronze-handled knife pressed against its neck, the lines at the corners of its eyes reflected in its sky-blue pupils.
Suddenly, I realized that he was already thirty years old.
Tower asked again, "Do you want to stay in the No Man's Land?"
"There's no one left around me who can keep dying."
He had almost forgotten when he became a person.
Struggling, powerless, and fearful, he never teamed up with anyone again.
"I want to go home."
He heard his own voice, a voice that had yearned since he was 17 and was now 30: he wanted to go home.
There must be someone at home waiting for him.
Ta said, "Okay, let's go to the judge's bench and take a gamble."
He had previously applied for a trial bench, but all of them were rejected without exception.
This time, Ta agreed, and he made thorough preparations.
[Trial observation is in progress...]
[Trial observation link successful]
[Un Entertainment Trial Open]
He failed.
Tower said he would have experienced these things if he hadn't entered the No Man's Lands.
The tower also said, "Your Judgment card has a rebirth function; you can start over."
The Judgment Card he activated when he committed suicide in front of Nan Ke was not the first time he had used it; this was the earliest instance.
It was as if there was absolutely no cost to trial and error, gradually drawing him into an even bigger trap.
The judgment plaque split for the first time, and he became Munashe.
Jiang Yang travels from reality to the no-man's-land and meets Ji Yang, Nan Ke, and Xie Lu.
The trial plaque split for the second time, and he became the Great River.
Jiang Yang went from reality to the no-man's-land and met Yue Jiang.
The judgment plaque splits for the third time...
After years of stumbling and struggling, he finally found a new path.
[Player Jiang Yang has bound the talent-type card: The Fool]
[Player Jiang Yang unlocks the title: The Lonely Traveler in Time]
Jiang Yang felt her consciousness slowly rising from the deep sea. First, she felt her eyelids sticking together, as if covered with a layer of damp cotton.
He tried to move his fingers, and a dull pain came from his chest. It wasn't as tearing and unbearable as before, but he still couldn't help but groan.
"woke up?"
A familiar voice rang in his ears. He struggled to open his eyes, and 007's face gradually came into focus.
His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot; he had clearly been waiting for him for a long time.
"What time is it...?"
Jiang Yang's throat was sore from dryness, and 007 helped him up, letting him lean against her, and opened a bottle of mineral water to his lips: "It's almost dawn."
He was unconscious for nearly five hours; if his breathing hadn't stabilized later, even 007 would have thought...
The warm water soothed the dryness and burning sensation in his throat. Jiang Yang drank almost half a bottle before slowly asking, "Where am I? Where's 008?"
"At the gas station warehouse, 008 and Nan Yi will go out together to pick up two orders. We can't go for too long without taking any orders."
"Then mine..."
Jiang Yang meant his motorcycle taxi. 007 didn't let him say more and directly took over his words, saying, "008 is the one you ride. The vehicle will transform when it's idle, but it's fine when it's running."
"Did you bully him again?"
Jiang Yang twitched the corners of his mouth, and 007 couldn't help but use his thumb and forefinger to manually lift his mouth up on either side.
"I didn't bully him."
Jiang Yang hummed in agreement and snuggled closer to 007. Perhaps because he had just stepped on the edge of death, he felt a chill running through him.
007 took the person's hand and rubbed it in his palm: "If you're still cold, we'll take off 008's coat later."
...and they still say they didn't bully anyone...
Jiang Yang asked, "When are they coming back?"
007 replied, "I don't know."
"Send him a message and tell him and Nan Yi to come back first. I have something to tell you."
Half an hour later, the two of them burst in, looking travel-worn.
Before Jiang Yang could speak, 008 squatted down in front of him and touched his forehead with the back of his hand. After confirming that he didn't have a fever, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yang nestled comfortably in 007's arms, glancing around at the three of them.
"I don't have amnesia."
"But I will choose to seal my memories next, and they may not be able to be recovered in the short term."
"Therefore, some plans need to be synchronized with you in advance."
Jiang Yang spoke very slowly, pausing to catch his breath after saying a few words. None of the three interrupted him; they waited patiently.
"I guess the unclaimed train, or Train Zero, never transported any players from beginning to end."
Based on his observations over the years, the number of players in Borderlands is likely to remain between a few hundred and two thousand.
But what he saw on Train Zero was that the train transported passengers in one trip.

[152nd time 535 (crossed out) 415? Disappeared?]
...until he first entered Un Entertainment, and like Hoshino Tsukie back then, he saw that enormous melting pot.
He was reborn.
The trial card split for the first time, and he entered Un Entertainment for the second time.
He found the Soul Weights left behind by the Forge Guardian in the forge.
The trial plaque split for the second time, and he boarded the ownerless train for the third time.
After the train stopped at Wutoushan Station, he followed the dark figures off the train.
The judgment plaque splits for the third time...
"I think the Headless Mountain Station is like a processing station, processing those living beings into the state of soul weights."
Therefore, for so many years, Jiang Yang has been preventing these shadowy figures from getting on the bus.
This is why Wu Yibai is so determined to get his memories; he wants to find out what tricks he played when he stopped the shadowy figure from getting into the car.
So, the fact that Wutoushan Station was opened as a trial suggests that the tower itself must have had its own purpose.
And that key...
"I think the key should be kept in the place where these weights are processed."
"The Hanged Man will be on trial, and the target is probably the key. We must hurry."
After Nan Yi and 008 set off, 007 insisted on keeping Jiang Yang in place for another hour before letting him go.
As dawn broke, the pale blue light gave the fog a new hue.
007, riding his motorcycle with Jiang Yang on the back, hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question that had been weighing on his mind: "Why seal away memories?"
Jiang Yang clung to 007's back, teasing him deliberately, "Afraid I'll forget you?"
"You forgot me, and you lied to me."
007's tone was a little aggrieved, and Jiang Yang's voice softened: "I didn't mean to lie to you."
Besides, who forgot whom in the end?
Fool.
Now that my eyesight is better, I feel even dumber.
The wind blew past my ears.
“Ji Yang”.
Jiang Yang took a deep breath and called out 007's real name.
"Um?"
007 was clearly taken aback, and the speed of the motorcycle even decreased by half a beat.
Jiang Yang's voice was clear and loud.
The wind seemed to stop for a moment, with only the low rumble of motorcycle engines in my ears.
The next second, 007's voice came back, a little hoarse than usual.
"I love you too."
As the sky grew brighter, Jiang Yang lay on 007's back, seemingly sleepy.
He closed his eyes, his mind hazy, as if he were talking to 007, or perhaps to himself.
"I want to ask them, why me?"
After this trial concludes, he will certainly be interrogated, and he will have no choice but to seal his memories.
The only two things Jiang Yang remembered in the end.
