Inside the Goblin Lair.

Lin Chen had already walked out of the cave. When he stepped back to the exit, a huge portal appeared where he had just come from.

Now, as long as Lin Chen enters it, he can return to Baiyue City.

But at this moment, in front of the portal, including the two girls who were rescued at the beginning, a total of 18 girls were sitting together, with Huang Dachui and Roaring Brother beside them.

When they saw Lin Chen walking out of the cave, everyone present was stunned.

At this moment, Lin Chen was wearing a mask, and his face could not be seen except for his deep eyes.

"monarch!"

Huang Dachui and Roaring Brother quickly nodded. They did not identify their master by observing Lin Chen's appearance.

Following the actions of the two undead units, five of the 18 girls slowly stood up from the ground. Their bodies were very weak, and they were all wearing the clothes given to them by Lin Chen.

"You...are you the Chosen One..."

A young girl slowly took a step forward. Although the fear on her face had not disappeared, her condition was obviously much better than before.

Lin Chen raised his eyes, then nodded: "I guess so, what about you guys?"

"We..." The five girls looked at each other, and then the girl who had just spoken continued, "We are ordinary residents of the village, and we were abducted by the goblins."

Having said that, she couldn't help but reach out and tightly grasp the loose clothes on her body, her body trembling imperceptibly.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "When were you captured?"

Hearing this, the girls looked at each other.

They were just about to say something, but the next moment, everyone's face showed a puzzled expression.

Yeah, when were they...abducted by the goblins?

Or...how did they appear here?

The girls' faces began to look more and more confused. They seemed to have forgotten something very important, and no matter how hard they tried to recall it, they couldn't remember it.

"I...we..."

The girl spoke incoherently, her eyes becoming increasingly dazed. "I don't remember... I seemed to find myself in a cave the moment I opened my eyes. I... How was I captured? How long have I been here... I..."

Not only her, the other girls behind her were also a little panicked. Some of them even pinched their arms, thinking it was a dream.

Looking at this scene, Lin Chen slowly frowned.

The girls in front of him kept opening their mouths to say something, but every time the words reached their lips, they swallowed them back. It seemed that there was a strange gap in the memory in their brains. They only remembered the memories of their previous life in the village and the present memories.

As for how he appeared in the goblin's lair, or when he appeared, he had no memory at all!

The leading girl knelt on the ground for a moment, covering her head and trying to think of something. Because the speed was too fast, the wide robe on her body even slipped off her body, revealing her back covered with scars.

Lin Chen knew he couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only point to the portal on the side to try to divert their attention.

"Don't think about it. The most urgent thing is to get in and leave here quickly."

As Lin Chen finished speaking, a countdown appeared above the portal.

If he has not stepped into the portal when the countdown ends, the copy will automatically and forcibly teleport him out.

The girls turned their heads and looked blankly in the direction of Lin Chen's finger.

"Go in?" the girls asked. "What door?"

Looking at the surprised and puzzled expressions on the girls' faces, Lin Chen was stunned.

What do you mean?

Such a large portal is now floating beside them, still flashing pure white light. As long as they stand up and move two steps, they can enter it directly.

But it wasn't just one or two people; all the girls present seemed to have not seen the portal.

"Can't you see this portal?" Lin Chen asked in a low voice.

The girls kept shaking their heads, apparently unable to react.

Seeing the puzzled looks on the girls' faces, Lin Chen frowned slightly under his mask.

"Could it be that... even though these NPCs are human, they can't see or use portals?"

"Only players, only the so-called Chosen Ones can do this?"

This makes sense. After all, even though he reached level 80 in his previous life, he had never seen a living person in the dungeon. In his previous impression, all the NPCs in the dungeon were emotionless creatures. Even if there were "people", they were a group of things that only acted according to the system, just like the NPCs in the [Locust Plague] mission that could help players resist locusts. They were a group of things that could only understand the player's instructions.

But what should they do if they can't leave by entering the portal?

These girls are covered in wounds and exhausted both physically and mentally. If there were no so-called villages around here, they would not survive long if they were left alone.

At this time, the countdown above the portal was less than 10 seconds. With every passing second, the huge countdown sound rang in his ears.

【9, 8, 7...】

After a pause, Lin Chen finally sighed softly. He explored his backpack for a while, then took out the only remaining low-quality life potion and placed it at his feet.

"I can't help you from now on. Take these potions. They can save your lives when necessary."

Lin Chen paused, then threw down a few items he didn't need, as well as some low-level weapons and protective gear for self-defense.

This is all he can do now.

After doing all this, the countdown for the portal is over.

"Countdown is over, forcible transmission is in progress."

A prompt sounded, and the portal suddenly expanded. A strong white light enveloped Lin Chen's body. In an instant, the two undead spirits, Lin Chen and Huang Dachui, disappeared...

What Lin Chen didn’t know was that the next moment after he left this world, the whole world suddenly froze.

The sunlight solidified in the air, reflecting interlaced rays of light. The wind stopped blowing and the leaves stopped swaying. The leaves that were about to fall were now frozen in the air, each leaf maintaining the posture it had before falling, hanging in the air elegantly and strangely.

The girls present were frozen in the strangest moment. Their expressions varied: some opened their mouths as if to speak, others frowned, and quite a few shielded their eyes with their hands as if to avoid the bright light.

Everything, at this moment, is still.
