secret chat room

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Forgotten

Hu Yan was holding a glass of warm water in her hand, sipping it in small sips.

As a warm current flows in from the throat, the real-life freezing feeling in the nightmare gradually fades away.

"Take it easy."

Hu Yan heard the sound and slowly raised his head to look at Zhuang Xie, who was still sitting in front of the computer screen, watching the lively chat group.

Different from the deserted situation half a month later after Zhuang Xie directly revealed the secret of the timeline difference, the chat group at this time was still lively.

Huang Mao and Ben Leng were still discussing a new game on the market, and Shui Zi would occasionally interject a sentence, criticizing the young people nowadays for losing their ambition in playing with things, and intentionally or unintentionally showing off his son's hard work and progress.

Yes, although the chat group at this time cannot be said to be happy, it is still quite harmonious. It is completely invisible that not long after, two of the seven people in the group died, and the remaining five people also had their own agendas, leaving only a dead body.

General group chat interface.

"Well, much better." Hu Yan put down the cup in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zhuang Xie, having regained his composure.

"Tell me what's going on." Zhuang Xie raised his eyes and looked at Hu Yan.

"Do you still remember what you told me on the way back about abilities?"

"Well, I do have doubts. Do you have the answer now?"

"After you asked me that question, my answer at that time was that I was sure that I had not experienced the scene you mentioned. However, I am a little unsure now. I was in a dream..."

Even though he knew it was just a dream, Hu Yan's voice still trembled slightly when he recounted it again.

The feeling of being gradually surrounded by a weird atmosphere, and then the fear gradually permeating my heart, like a suffocating helplessness, recalling it still feels like it really happened.

"Zhuang Xie! Tell me, could this..." Hu Yan paused, "Could it be something that I have really experienced? After all, if it was really just a nightmare, wouldn't it have happened?"

Such a real feeling! I can still recall the weird things that surrounded me, and the desperate sound that made my scalp numb like scratching glass."

"It's not impossible. There are too many mysteries in this chat group. I still remember when Future Gear communicated with us, I once thought that all the weirdness was caused by the game, including Najing's 'death' that was retained in his memory.

It was also caused by the control failure when he played the game for the first time.”

When Zhuang Xie said these words, his tone did not fluctuate too much, but Hu Yan noticed that when he said these words, the hand holding the mouse unconsciously grabbed it harder, and the top of the thumb nail

Even a little white.

"But all speculations were overturned due to your interference!" Zhuang Xie looked at Hu Yan quietly.

"You 'replaced' Najung and entered that street, and I won the first game.

All this happened before you received the order from Gear to find me.

This also shows that the game of this chat group does not "create" these weirdnesses, but "reproduces" these weirdnesses, and then the weirdnesses that already exist in a certain corner are imposed by the chat group with game rules and become...

Part of the game.”

"But after I learned that you naturally acquired superpowers, I became confused as to why my clearing the level without injury became the reason why I had to experience strange events again in reality. This is very unreasonable."

Hu Yan didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face became serious, "That's why you said that I may have experienced something like that, but I don't remember it!"

"Yes, since this is a game, it is impossible for those who perform well to be punished."

Hu Yan's eyes became dull at that moment, "So I am..."

"boom!"

Thinking of the key nodes, Hu Yan suddenly felt a flow of information in his mind as if it had been exploded.

"No. 6! She is human! She is human!"

"That's her! Get her!"

A group of shadowy faceless people broke through the shackles of the human form at that moment, transformed into strange and deformed shapes, and swarmed forward!

...

After a long time, Hu Yan opened his eyes again, and still lost his memory and appeared in front of the round table, repeating the "catching game" again and again.

Until one time, shortly after the game started, Hu Yan unexpectedly realized the "essence" of the game early and broke through the ghostly prison that was like a time loop.

...

"I remember! I remember it all."

After remembering everything that was extremely terrifying, Hu Yan was not as frightened as if he had just woken up from a dream. Thinking of the extremely terrifying scene in the sealed memory of being eaten by the weird again and again,

Although Hu Yan's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes did not lose their sparkle. At that moment, his whole temperament changed drastically.

Um?

Zhuang Xie looked at each other with awareness.

"What did you remember?"

Hu Yan took a deep breath, then exhaled it, and met Zhuang Xie's gaze, "I remembered, I was already dead."

After a pause, he added, "More than once."

Although he had already suspected it, Zhuang Xie also stopped after hearing the news from Hu Yan's mouth.

a long time.

"Please have your condolences."

"puff!"

Hu Yan picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. When she heard this, she almost spit out the water.
