"I didn't do this!" the crew-cut man exclaimed, jumping up and down in frustration. "This is how the dungeon was set up for me, what can I do?"
His statement can be seen as an admission of his actions in the instance.
The man with the buzz cut looked at Yan Xun and asked, "How did you know?"
As he said this, his expression suddenly changed. "Could it be that you can read minds?"
"Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Yan Xun: "..."
"I guessed." He looked at the crew-cut man, a slight doubt in his mind. "You didn't complete side quest 1?"
“I’ve finished, but there’s no reward,” the crew-cut man said. “Because I didn’t discover it myself. Other players found the dungeon clues too quickly, which unlocked my part of the clues as well.”
Yan Xun understood the meaning of the crew cut.
The other party was able to see this part of the memory because other players unlocked the funeral company job, the nursing home, the relationship between the master and him, and the lakeside villa. Because there were many key plot points unlocked, and these clues were closely related to the crew-cut man, the crew-cut man learned about this part of the memory.
The level difficulty of side quest 1 is not high.
Players haven't fully unlocked it yet because the clues haven't been fully revealed.
As a 15-day instance, we've only progressed about a third of the way.
According to the design of the instance, the rules that appear later will also help players unravel the secrets of the entire instance.
The crew-cut man also understood that he couldn't complete Mission 2 on his own, so he decided to go all out. "According to my memory, when I regained consciousness, I saw blood on my fist and Xie Qingdu lying on the ground unconscious."
He looked at Yan Xun and Du Yun, "I was very flustered at the time."
“Especially when I saw that he was holding his phone at the time.”
“I snatched his phone and found he was on the phone.” The man with the buzz cut looked at Du Yun as he said this, “He was calling you.”
“…Huh???” Du Yun pointed at himself, “Me?”
"What does this have to do with me?"
“But he didn’t get through.” The crew-cut man looked at Du Yun. “I saw him call you more than a dozen times, but he didn’t get through to any of them.”
"What was the date that day?" Yan Xun asked.
The man with the buzz cut gave a date.
Yan Xun then looked at Du Yun, and this time, without needing to be reminded, Du Yun went to the computer to check his live stream records.
It just so happens that there was a live replay that day.
On that day, Du Yun and his viewers started a ranked game live. During the game, someone noticed that his phone, which was on the table, vibrated several times.
Someone in the chat reminded him, and Du Yun impatiently shut down his computer, saying he was busy playing ranked matches and didn't have time to watch.
Yan Xun: "..."
Crew cut: "?"
Du Yun: "!!!!!!!"
He looked at Yan Xun and the crew-cut man in horror, "A call from Bamboo Pole??"
Why would he suddenly call me?
“He probably didn’t call you suddenly,” Yan Xun said. “He must have discussed it with you before going to the villa. He told you to call him if there were any problems, and then he would find an excuse to leave so that the crew-cut guys would be wary.”
“But I really don’t remember.” Du Yun frowned. “I have absolutely no recollection of this.”
Yan Xun ignored him and looked at the crew-cut man again, "And then what did you guys do?"
"I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that he couldn't get through on the phone."
"It turned out that the muscular man was the first to sense something was wrong. He asked me if the bamboo pole was still alive."
"The man in the shirt tentatively reached out to touch his nose and neck, but there was no response," the man with the buzz cut told Yan Xun. "We were all terrified."
"You didn't touch the shirt and the muscles?" Yan Xun asked.
"They've already started fighting, but the muscular man is just holding Xie Qingdu down."
"I was thinking of calling the police," the man with the buzz cut said, "but I'm scared..."
"Just then, my relative called to ask if I had a problem."
"I asked him how he knew."
“He said that if Xie Qingdu dies, we’re all doomed,” the crew-cut man told Yan Xun. “I didn’t understand what he meant at the time. He said that Xie Qingdu couldn’t die, because if he did, we would all be in trouble.”
"Didn't your relative tell you this before?" Yan Xun asked. "He should have warned you not to get close to Xie Qingdu."
The crew-cut man protested, "I didn't do this, it's part of my character in this game." But when he saw Yan Xun's gaze, his tone softened, "I told you."
"But I didn't listen in this instance, and for some reason, I suddenly got carried away..."
"Why was Fang Shuo there at the time?" Yan Xun asked. "Your relative wouldn't have taken him to the crime scene, would he?"
"He followed us secretly."
"He seemed to really dislike Xie Qingdu." The man with the buzz cut said, probably recalling the details of the incident. His expression was a mixture of confusion and nausea.
“None of us dared to make a move, but Fang Shuo himself stepped forward and said he could do it.”
Du Yun, listening from the side, was confused. "What do you mean, 'take action'?"
"A magic array to suppress evil spirits," Yan Xun said. "By separating the limbs and head of the evil spirits and placing them in five different locations, we can suppress them."
"You're saying Fang Shuo did it?"
The man with the buzz cut nodded, then gestured as if he were about to swiftly strike with a knife.
"that's all……"
"Then he turned to my relative and said, 'I understand.'"
"What does he know?" Du Yun asked, puzzled. "He just found out?"
"Why did the muscular man join you in the fight?" Yan Xun asked. "According to you, he only held Xie Qingdu down and didn't actually do anything, right?"
“The master said that it’s no use if he doesn’t take action.” The crew-cut man looked at Yan Xun and Du Yun. “Once Xie Qingdu dies, he will become an evil ghost and take revenge on all those who harmed him in his lifetime.”
"He's not helping us suppress Xie Qingdu right now."
He will die suddenly first thing tomorrow morning.
"You can believe that?" Du Yun wondered.
"Why wouldn't I believe it?" The crew-cut man said, still shaken. "The moment Xie Qingdu died, a thick fog immediately enveloped the outside..."
"There was no fog at all that day."
"My relative also saw the thick fog and felt something was wrong, which is why they suddenly called me."
Needless to say, Cun Tou knew what happened next, and Yan Xun also knew.
"So that's why you ran away from home?" Du Yun asked.
“Nonsense, aren’t you scared when you see him?” the crew-cut man said. “Especially when I saw him standing there, the scene from that night kept replaying in my mind.”
"And then?" Yan Xun asked. "What did you do after you followed your relative's instructions?"
“He didn’t do anything,” the crew-cut man said. “He told us to leave, and he’ll handle the rest.”
"Fang Shuo was driving; he took us away."
“Oh, I saw you called him before you left,” the crew-cut man said to Du Yun. “None of us dared to answer, so we just threw the phone into the lake.”
"After that, we proceeded step by step..."
“I didn’t go to school after that, and they both graduated normally,” the crew-cut man said.
"Does nobody care that Xie Qingdu is missing?"
"It must have been his relative who made up an excuse." The man with the buzz cut scratched his head. "I don't know either. I didn't care about what happened after that."
Then, they arrived in this strange community.
Everyone has lost that crucial memory, yet they all live together here.
