"I don’t think so."
"Fine, even if you have the power to deal with Dairya, it’s because you’re not skilled enough, right?"
At the woman’s fierce retort, Tang Ye was rendered speechless for a mont. She was right; he was just not skilled enough to have been dragged to this place. But then Tang Ye thought, if he encountered this situation again after leaving, how should he deal with it?
Thoughts raced through his mind, and eventually, that sense of forgetting washed over him, and Tang Ye decided to give up.
"You threw away your own stuff, and soone else picked it up; no one’s going to return it to you. If you still don’t understand... let put it this way, this is my shovel. If you want it, you’d have to get my permission. What if I don’t agree? But you really want it, your only chance is to wait until I forget that the shovel is mine. Then you can brazenly take it away. But if you threw it yourself, you’d be giving it away directly, not even knowing who you gave it to."
Upon hearing that, Tang Ye rembered the eyes that mysteriously vanished the next day after he had planted them in Lu Xin, Little Ru, and the man on the second floor of the hotel. A word suddenly ca to his mind.
Digestion!
Each person he had seen was an ordinary human being, and adding what she had previously said, everyone he had seen upon entering here was either a new human or an evolved zombie. No matter how powerful they were before they ca here, if they have been here long enough, the strong powers and abilities due to evolution would be digested and disappear by this "world"!
The woman walked ahead and then stopped, turning back to Tang Ye and asked, "Any more questions?"
Tang Ye also stopped and nodded: "Of course, there are."
"What else? Ask away."
"What’s the deal with the compliance regulations? How do they co about?"
The woman thought for a mont, organized her language, and replied, "I’ve been here for quite so ti. Here, I am the only one who still rembers who I am and knows why I ca in. My goal is to help Dairya escape and find a way to leave here. You say that more than ten years have passed in the real world. Here, although I can’t calculate exactly how long I’ve lived, it’s definitely more than ten years, because the compliance regulations you see were made by . With the help of Dairya, the regulations don’t disappear even when the scenes change."
"Since you’ve arrived here and know about the compliance regulations, you should also know that the content of the regulations is different in each place, right? I haven’t forgotten any region; I have left compliance regulations according to the different rules of each place. You tell , is this sothing an ordinary person can achieve within a decade?"
"Are you an ordinary person?"
"It seems that in the outside real world, new humans have beco quite common, huh?"
"Sort of."
"I was just an ordinary person when I ca in."
"I see." Tang Ye gave the woman in front of him a deep look, sensing the strange change in her tone when she said she was an ordinary person.
Also, the nun at the church entrance who shook her head at him yesterday, warning him not to go inside, resembled this woman greatly; it was clearly the sa person!
She must recognize him, but why didn’t she say anything?
What is she hiding?
She isn’t just an ordinary person!
"Any more questions?"
"Certainly. You crafted these compliance regulations; I want to know what the contents of the nineteenth regulation really an?"
"From Xi River city?"
"Yes."
"This question is hard to understand if said, but if you die enough tis, you might understand it." She deliberately emphasized the word "die" heavily.
People here die if they violate the compliance regulations, and if he himself violates the regulations... sothing had occurred to Tang Ye, but he wasn’t sure whether it was what he thought.
"The compliance regulations are sothing everyone must abide by, including you. But talking about this now, you’re still confused. You’ll understand once you do so things with . You might have already died once."
"Alright."
"Next question."
"I heard that crows can prevent death after violating the compliance regulations, is that true?"
"More or less, otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here."
"Huh?" This answer from the woman suddenly confused Tang Ye. Earlier, she had said that he had already died once for violating the regulations, but now why wouldn’t he be standing here talking to her? He rembered that he seed to have been holding two crows in his hand before waking up from the hotel. Could it be that not holding crows would result in a different outco?
"You know about reincarnation, right? It’s a common setting in fantasy novels. Whenever Dairya wants to target soone, this world will change, like right now she’s targeting you, so here turns into Xi River city. People pulled in here will change their nas, appearances, and identities like extras, equivalent to reincarnation. But those people don’t know, nor do they rember who they were beforehand. When violating the compliance regulations, they will die. This death isn’t the ordinary kind of death. For others, people who violate the regulations are dead, and the individuals themselves enter a much deeper world."
"A deeper world?"
"Yes, like layers of an onion wrapped around each other. Those who violate the compliance regulations and die will enter the next layer, then forget the mory of having died, and continue living, not realizing that their original families and friends are no longer the sa original ones, just having the sa mories. But if you have a crow with you, this situation won’t happen. They will retain the mory of being dead after dying, so this kind of rumor has spread."
"What’s the principle behind this?"
"I don’t know either. Perhaps you should ask Dairya."
"The Zombie King is a doppelgänger, both are Dairya you ntioned?"
"Not exactly, but the two are one entity, both are Dairya. They share everything but have different desires."
"I don’t understand, you seem to know a lot?" Tang Ye shook his head, and naturally, he thought of his own doppelgänger; though they seed like two individuals, they were one existence.
Tang Ye knew that this situation with the Nightmare Zombie King might be different from what the woman ntioned.
His main body and doppelgänger had a primary and secondary relationship, but the so-called doppelgänger of the Nightmare Zombie King seems to not have it?
The woman shook her head, not answering Tang Ye.
Tang Ye then pointed to a shadowy graffito on a distant window, saying, "This might be my last question."
"Ask."
"What are those shadowy graffiti?"
"Ah, those are your kind."
