Chapter 99: mory Loss
"That was so satisfying!" Yan Hebi exclaid happily, "That was my first ti fighting with such a detailed strategy. Almost every step went just as we planned. Like when we strategized the three scenarios we might encounter after opening the door, the three ways of dealing with each of them, the factors that might change at each point of the battle, what areas to be careful of, and how to approach each change... the purpose of each of our actions, when to use the traps we've set, the consequences if we failed, how to mitigate those consequences..."
"Alright, that's enough." Guan Ling felt his head ringing as he interrupted Yan Hebi, "I haven't studied battle tactics this much since my political science. I'm already dizzy, you don't need to repeat everything again..."
"Yiyi, you're the most amazing woman I've ever t!"
Yan Hebi excitedly opened his arms to give Xing Ye a victory hug, only to easily be sidestepped by Xing Ye.
Embracing empty air, Yan Hebi was about to crash into the wall. Luckily, Cao Qian, who was standing by Xing Ye, caught him in ti. She chuckled, "You know, she even predicted you would try to hug her and crash into the wall. Xing Ye said that whether we won or lost, you would likely take the opportunity to initiate physical contact. She's confident she can avoid it, but you might not be able to control yourself, so she asked
to help you out."
Yan Hebi was speechless.
Yiyi was so strong that normal guys might not dare to ask her to be their girlfriend. But when Yan Hebi thought about how Yiyi would be able to predict everything he did, he felt a strange sense of pleasure course through his heart. He couldn't help but wonder, was he actually a masochist?
The three were very happy. Only Xing Ye remained cautious as he warned, "People are most vulnerable the mont after winning a great battle. If we were attacked now, even a small stick would be able to beat us. Until we leave this world, we can't let our guard down for even a mont."
He had barely finished speaking when a dozen parasitic monsters silently crawled down from upstairs. Just as Xing Ye had warned, they had been waiting on the 20th floor. They would attack regardless of whether Xing Ye's group tried to flee through the stairwell or won the battle.
Unfortunately for them, the four had long been prepared. How could Xing Ye not suspect there might be an ambush prepared for them on the 20th floor? After all, the departnt head had instructed Guan Ling to stay on the 20th floor tonight.
Seeing the group of monsters descend the stairs, Cao Qian faithfully carried out her task. She guarded the large hole in the wall, warily watching the group of people on the 18th floor, who were still panting for breath, in case they attacked.
Guan Ling was the healer. His skill was on cooldown now and his eight bullets had to be preserved. Under Xing Ye's orders, Yan Hebi wasn't to use QR codes until midnight. Right now, his only task was to cheer them on.
"Let ." Xing Ye stood in front of the two, "I can use the rings of fire or batteries-"
He paused halfway through his sentence, suddenly feeling a wave of unsteadiness wash through him. He stumbled down. Yan Hebi reacted quickly, grabbing Xing Ye before he could fall to the floor.
"Yiyi, what happ-" Yan Hebi asked in concern. But before he could finish his sentence, Xing Ye, still clad in his miniskirt, kicked him away.
Xing Ye avoided Yan Hebi and took a step back, but behind him, the parasitic monsters were descending down the stairs. Xing Ye took a step closer to their side, his face cold as he looked at Guan Ling, Yan Hebi, and Cao Qian. "Who are you? Where is this place? And what are those things?"
It was already midnight. Xing Ye had lost his mory.
The three were prepared. Yan Hebi quickly recalled the notes Xing Ye had given them:
Xing Ye looked at the three, his voice solemn. "The reason why I was afraid earlier was because I feared losing my mories during the battle, greatly decreasing our combat strength. I thought about it more and realized if I suddenly lose my mories in an ordinary situation, even if I left behind notes for myself, I'll still be doubtful of their authenticity. I'm suspicious of others by nature. No matter what happens, my approach is always to doubt first and confirm afterward. This is a necessary process for
to trust sothing.
"We want to go to the Departnt of Gynecology and Obstetrics at 2 AM. At that ti, I'll still be harboring suspicions and won't understand everything. This might influence our actions in the Gynecology Departnt. That's why I need to control the timing of the battle so I lose my mories at a specific point in the battle. To be specific, the ti right after we've overco a very dangerous battle and are about to face a dangerous, but not too difficult situation.
"Danger can stimulate a person's potential. People who experience danger together develop trust easier with each other. I want to create a situation that makes it easier for my tomorrow self to trust you all. It might be tricky, but I believe you guys can do it.
"Rember: you must let tomorrow's
go through so dangerous and stressful, but not harmful situations. That way, I can suspend my doubts and choose to accept what you say. After my future self resolves the crisis according to my plan, you can explain what happened the day before. My future self will quickly absorb and digest the information, then take action."
At that mont, the three all had the sa thought: Xing Ye was too ruthless. He didn't just plot against the departnt head and parasitic monsters. He was even more calculating toward himself, going to this extent to sche against his future self.
Back then, Guan Ling had asked, "Boss, how did you co up with such a ruthless plan for yourself?"
Xing Ye pondered before saying, "I consider my tomorrow's self not as myself, but an evenly matched enemy. By thinking of it from that perspective, it was very easy for
to co up with different strategies. And... sobody actually reminded
about this. He made
feel jealous of my past self and helped
understand my complicated ntality. That's why I consider myself today and my tomorrow's self as two completely different people.
"Although we've only known each other for one day, we're teammates and I hope you'll also be teammates for my tomorrow's self. When we're done with this world, please tell
everything that happened. I don't want to lose these mories. At that ti, I'll be relying on all of you."
Thanks to Xing Ye's notes, the three didn't panic when they faced the amnesiac Xing Ye. Yan Hebi raised his phone and said, "Don't ask anything. If you don't want to die, just listen to us. morize this QR code and think Redrawing Pen starting ability in your head. Choose the 'activate' button in your head and draw this QR code to attack those monsters."
Just as he finished talking, the monsters had climbed down and were about to reach them. Cao Qian and the others didn't move. Guan Ling didn't even take out his gun. Cao Qian broke apart the ergency exit door and stood in front of the three, using it as a shield against the monsters' acid.
Xing Ye: "..."
Why did they seem so experienced? What should he do? As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a man hugging him. Then after he ducked away, he turned to find a group of monsters attacking them. Should he trust these people?
Ti was running tight. There was no ti to think it over. It was impossible to grasp what was going on with just what the tall man said about "starting ability" and "Redrawing Pen
