Chapter 232: mory
“Watch your words,” The woman looked at him, “Or you’ll die.”
Chen Ran turned around and left. He walked to the door at the corner of the music hall. Chen Ran caressed the doorknob before suddenly saying, “If my mory serves
right, you’ve t him before, right, Number 7?” Chen Ran tapped his forehead and smiled, “Oh. I’m sorry. I forgot… I should be calling you… Miss Lee Lu now.”
…
“Wuwuwu…”
“Alright. Stop crying.”
“Wuwuwu…”
“That’s enough!”
“Doctor… You have no idea.” Fatty collapsed on the ground. His snot and tears were all over his face. His body trembled as he wept. “It was so scary. You didn’t see how big that mouth was! It was this big!” He gestured with his hands. He cried harder. He had exhausted the roll of toilet paper Jiang Cheng had given him earlier. The rolled-up paper was everywhere.
“Doctor, can you get
another roll?” Fatty said through red eyes, “How could you be thinking about saving money at a ti like this? Don’t you feel bad?”
“You’re still alive, right?” Jiang Cheng sighed. “If you don’t believe , you can weigh yourself. Not one gram of you is missing.”
“Doctor, karma will eventually co for you.” Fatty curled up on the ground. He had figured it out. The Doctor probably was toying with him when he said he could only ensure one person’s safety. He was probably laughing on the inside. The more he thought about it, the angrier Fatty beca. He pointed at Jiang Cheng, “You… are really horrible!”
Jiang Cheng shrugged again because Fatty’s words didn’t affect him at all. Jiang Cheng’s attitude only beca better when Fatty went to the fridge and threatened to throw all the ingredients out. Jiang Cheng quickly ran to hand him another roll of paper. After so back and forth, Fatty got up from the ground, and the two chatted while sitting on the couch.
“Doctor,” Fatty asked, “So, being eaten by that ghost… No, by the thing summoned by the aged woman is the way to clear the mission?”
“Yes.”
“Then, doesn’t that an all of us have cleared the mission?” Fatty blinked. “Well, other than Liang Long.” Liang Long died to the strange statues. Other than her, the others died to the aged woman, including Su Xiaoxiao. Of eight people, seven survived… Wasn’t that a bit too generous? As scary as the process was.
“How is that possible?” Jiang Cheng picked up the water glass and took a big gulp. Then, he wiped his lips, “If that’s true, you can do nothing and wait to die to survive the mission.”
Fatty looked at him with confusion, clearly waiting for an explanation. Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and tapped his empty glass.
Fatty huffed, “Doctor, that’s enough. I still haven’t fully forgiven you for what you did to !”
Jiang Cheng tutted and grumbled unwillingly, “Do you still rember the voice we heard?”
“The whale song?”
Jiang Cheng nodded. “Yes.” He smiled. “Not everyone heard it. I believe those who didn’t interact with the stone plate or the aged woman wouldn’t capture that elusive song.”
Fatty thought about it and lifted his head. Before he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Jiang Cheng, “You wanted to ask why Su An was the first to hear the song, right?”
Fatty kept nodding.
“To be honest, I don’t know.” Jiang Cheng shrugged, “Who can explain everything in this world?”
In Fatty’s eyes, the Doctor was quite easygoing about this. However, when he thought about what the Doctor did to him, the latter’s image beca ugly.
“Doctor, does that an the biker woman… and Liang Long has really died? But those who were eaten after them didn’t die?”
“I don’t know.”
“Fuck. Then, we were too nice to Chen Ran. If I have known…”
“Fatty.”
Fatty’s whining stopped. He looked at Jiang Cheng. He knew that the latter was serious. Fatty was honestly quite scared of the Doctor when he was serious. “Do you really think we managed to catch him?”
Fatty slowly opened his eyes and gasped, “Doctor… do you an he was purposely caught by you?”
Jiang Cheng held the glass. It was already empty, but he didn’t put it down. He played with the rim of the glass.
Fatty swallowed and said carefully, “Then, Doctor, he’s too scary. I an more than his physical ability,” He paused, “There’s also his ability to manipulate the human hearts.” Fatty continued, “Wasn’t he worried that we’d really kill him? Even though we’d be targeted by the rules… this had happened in the nightmare realm before. Just look at our mission before this one.
“Why would he dare to bet…”
“That no longer matters.” Jiang Cheng glanced out the window. “The point is he has won the bet.”
Fatty knew the details he had to pay attention to when he communicated with the Doctor. Therefore, when the Doctor said that, he knew that the Doctor had realised sothing. “Doctor,” He ca over to ask, “What have you found?”
Jiang Cheng looked at Fatty and then eventually said, “It’s impossible for him to know about our habits in such a short amount of ti we’ve spent in the nightmare.”
Fatty swallowed nervously, “So…”
“Fatty,” Jiang Cheng looked at him seriously, “I suspect he knows … he might have interacted with
in real life.”
“Impossible.” Fatty was stunned. “Doctor, you have such a great mind. If you’ve seen him, you wouldn’t have forgotten about him. Plus, it’s so hard to trick soone like you.” Fatty added with embarrassnt. “Doctor, you saw what he looked like. He’s almost the sa as you. It’s hard not to notice soone like him in real life.”
With Fatty looking on, Jiang Cheng leaned back on the couch, “As long as I was conscious, naturally, he wouldn’t be able to trick .”
“Huh?” Fatty was confused.
“I have lost a part of my mory.” Jiang Cheng curled up in the dark, “I can’t rember it… no matter what.”
