Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 59 Something is wrong

Jiang Ran suddenly recalled that when he first met Pidan Solo Congee, he wasn't called by this ID, but by "Zhezhou".

The ID "Century Egg Solo Congee" came about when the two of them were hungry after failing to find a supply crate. When talking about their favorite food, Zhe Zhou seriously said that his favorite food was century egg and lean pork congee.

When he was young, he was sick and had no appetite, so his mother would cook him a pot of congee with preserved egg and lean pork. She also mentioned that he had changed his name to his current one using a name change card that he had painstakingly dug up, in order to escape his enemies.

Jiang Ran still remembers the warm look on Zhe Zhou's face as he spoke of his previous ID: "Back then, I was both hungry and scared, and my first reaction was to change my ID to 'Century Egg Solo Congee,' but later I found out that I needed to increase my health points to change it."

In fact, aside from the heart-wrenching betrayal at the end, the hazy memories of Zhezhou could even be described as warm for Jiang Ran.

At that time, Jiang Ran was live-streaming from the last-class carriage. She had just killed the scarred man and was on the verge of death herself.

If the trains hadn't been merged, she probably would have died in the rioting carriage.

After the trains merged, with the addition of many new players, the previously bloodthirsty players in the last-class carriages naturally became unwilling to be picked off by others, and thus settled down.

Zhe Zhou appeared beside Jiang Ran at this time.

In the last-class carriage, where even those who stand by indifferently and do not actively harm others can be praised as "kind," Zhe Zhou, who is meeting Jiang Ran for the first time, is actually willing to save her.

He gave Jiang Ran a recovery potion that would be considered precious at any time, not only to help her recover from her injuries, but also to protect her.

It's no wonder Jiang Ran wasn't wary of him at all; such behavior was simply irresistible to Jiang Ran, who had already experienced enough of the wickedness and suffering of the world in just two short instances.

Another reason why Jiang Ran didn't doubt that Zhezhou was indeed merged from other carriages was that he knew the factions corresponding to the top-ranked players in the newly merged carriages like the back of his hand.

If he didn't come from that train merger, where did he get so much information from?
Jiang Ran stared intently at the ID of "Pidan Solo Congee" and suddenly felt as if a piece of memory in her mind had been polished back to life.

It seemed that only then did she realize that she had never truly understood Zhe Zhou, nor the series of events that had occurred with him.

Many details only become apparent when you realize them and look back to review them; they all seem strange.

For example, Zhe Zhou's understanding of the game and the dungeons; for example, even though he knew so much, he ended up in the last-class carriage with Jiang Ran, surviving by digging up boxes.

For example, why did he go to so much trouble to get close to Jiang Ran, only to betray her without hesitation?

This is also what Jiang Ran finds most incomprehensible.

In her previous life, Jiang Ran was practically all alone, and her main purpose was to take the blame for Xu Yunxuan.

But since she's already the scapegoat, why would anyone want to harm her further?
Before she died, she truly heard Zhe Zhou say that she would use her life as a stepping stone to Xu Yunxuan.

But which door did he knock on?
For Xu Yunxuan, wasn't Zhe Zhou's decision to kill Jiang Ran, whom he had intended to torture slowly, just creating enmity?
At the time, Jiang Ran was immersed in the pain of being betrayed by her best friend and was so angry that she was completely unaware of the strangeness of the situation.

Now, these "warm memories" of Zhezhou suddenly appeared so vividly in her mind, leaving her with very complicated emotions.

But that's not right at all!
Jiang Ran's forehead was beaded with sweat.

Because she suddenly realized that, after being reborn for so long, this was the first time she had so clearly recalled the details of her time with Zhe Zhou.

Of all her enemies, Zhe Zhou was the one she hated the most and felt the deepest. But apart from occasionally thinking of him in certain situations, he was more like a symbol at other times.

Even when she occasionally thinks of him, it's only a vague and hazy impression: she hates this person, who was supposed to be with her through thick and thin, but ultimately betrayed her.

It wasn't until Jiang Ran followed the video and saw the ID "Pidan Solo Porridge" again. She should have been very familiar with this ID related to Zhezhou, but when she first saw it, she didn't realize it at all, her attention was completely on the video.

This is so strange, this is really so strange!

Jiang Ran felt as if her left and right hemispheres were fighting each other, telling herself that she had become close to Zhe Zhou entirely because he had saved her.

But on the other side, someone shouted: "Are you crazy? You clearly developed feelings for him for no reason! The one who saved you was clearly..."

who is it?

Jiang Ran suddenly frowned and pressed her temples tightly.

Once she realized something was wrong, those memories she had been absolutely certain of began to swirl around her mind in a disordered manner, as if everything about them was strange.

But since everything seems to have a traceable pattern, where does this strange feeling come from?

In contrast to her chaotic memories, Jiang Ran's eyes grew increasingly bright.

She must have been infected!
Such a powerful effect can only be achieved through items or skills in games!
But when exactly?!

Jiang Ran finally struggled to turn off the game panel, her breathing becoming somewhat heavy.

Seeing Jiang Ran suddenly change her expression while watching the video, Xiao Bai asked with some concern, "Master, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ran suddenly grabbed Xiao Bai's hand, closed her eyes, and asked him, "Watch this video carefully. What are your feelings after watching it?"

Xiao Bai watched the video three times with great effort, then shook his head with innocent eyes: "I only saw a lot of bugs. These bugs might be dangerous."

Jiang Ran naturally believed that what Xiao Bai said was his truest feeling, but apart from this video, she did nothing else today that might affect her memory.

Xiao Bai didn't see anything wrong. Could it be simply because he's a puppet?
After all, puppets, apart from obeying their masters, cannot possess emotions.

Jiang Ran's expression was somewhat grave, but she dared not watch the video again, worried that her symptoms would worsen.

Is it only affecting me, or will everyone who watches the video be affected?
Jiang Ran leans more towards the latter possibility.

After all, skills or items that can be used through the chat lobby and video are, even if they exist, the price to pay is probably beyond what ordinary people can afford.

Besides, even if it's targeted at her, what other effects could such a prop have besides disrupting her memory?

To be precise, Jiang Ran's current ID, "Little Rabbit," is the kind of obscure person who wouldn't even make a ripple in the player community.

Even if they really wanted to target someone, it would be the young lady, not the young lady. Who would be so foolish as to do that?

It's not like the broken boat of the previous life...

and many more.

Jiang Ran suddenly thought of a possibility.
