I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

At 3 p.m., Chen Yang locked the shop door and headed towards the bakery.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This is the working hours of a pharmacy.

Chen Yang strongly suspected that the boss had set this sluggish working hours because there was no business.

During his time in the shop, he flipped through a book called "Hemu Town Calendar".

I learned a little about the town.

Initially, the town relied on the textile industry for its livelihood, but at some point, mutated plants appeared in the nearby forest.

This mutated plant is somewhat dangerous, and initially, everyone avoided it.

But the arrival of a few merchants changed this small town.

They bought up mutated plants from the forest at high prices, sparking a craze among the townspeople to pick wild plants.

When a few rare plants sold for exorbitant prices, everyone became restless and frantically ran into the forest.

The town gradually abandoned its ancestral textile craftsmanship and replaced it with the collection of mutated plants, which became the town's main industry.

But as time went by, the dangers hidden in the forest became apparent.

Some people go missing in the forest and are found dead a few days later, with only their brains remaining intact.

Some people, upon returning, had lost a period of their memory.

Eventually, the townspeople concluded that there were two areas that should not be approached.

One of them is the psychedelic forest on the west side of the town.

The place was shrouded in an eerie mist.

The other is the Undead Mountains to the east.

It originally existed as a cemetery for the town, but now it is occupied by a monster.

The merchants called them zombies.

Fortunately, these zombies do not leave the Dead Mountain Range on their own.

Apart from these two inaccessible areas, the townspeople amassed great wealth by harvesting mutated plants and lived a prosperous life.

Most outsiders come to this town for only one purpose: to pick mutated plants and sell them for money.

This is why local residents dislike outsiders.

"This should be it."

Brad's Dessert Shop.

The shop was empty, and a somewhat aged voice came from the kitchen.

"Come in, Chen Yang."

Hearing that familiar voice, Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Unable to contain his excitement, he rushed to the kitchen in a few steps.

"Guo Miao? It's you!"

Looking at the man wiping his hands in front of him, Chen Yang couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

It was Guo Miao?

He's in the same world as me?!

"sit."

Compared to Chen Yang, Guo Miao remained calm.

"Judging from your expression, you probably can't remember anything..."

"What are you doing here, Lao Guo? Do you know the truth?!"

Chen Yang was overjoyed.

“I know you have many questions, but I don’t know much either.”

Guo Miao shook her head.

"First of all, it's certain that there are more than just the two of us players in this town."

"Huh? Then..."

"Don't be impatient, listen to me first."

“Each player has their own mission, and my mission is to protect this village and withstand the zombie horde on the seventh day.”

"Our mission objectives are the same. If that's all there is to it, then giving us seven days to prepare in this game is meaningless."

"Therefore, I suspect there are hostile players in this town!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's brow twitched.

He had never considered this possibility and always thought he was the only player in the town.

"On the first day I came into this world, I used my talent, Fate Prediction."

"I saw purple mist filling the sky, and you lying on the ground in a pool of blood."

"Beside you stands a man of unusually tall stature."

"Wait... unusually tall? Is he nearly two meters tall?!"

Guo Miao looked at Chen Yang with some surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

“I saw that man last night… It’s okay, go on.”

Guo Miao cleared her throat and then spoke.

"I ran into you the next day; you had already settled in the pharmacy."

"The female shop owner asked you to go to the west side of town the next morning to collect the goods."

"So I told you my prediction of the future, in an attempt to stop you."

"But you didn't listen to me."

"You said that since we know the future, we should try to change it."

"You want to take this opportunity to find out the players from the opposing faction."

"So, on the morning of the third day, you went to the west side of town alone."

"I didn't see you all day, I thought you were dead."

"The result is what it is now. Although you escaped your destined death, you lost all your memories of the previous two days."

"But I am bound by the rules and must fulfill my responsibilities as a dessert shop owner."

“Under my rules, I cannot leave the bakery except on the seventh day, which is a rest day.”

That's all I know.

Guo Miao stood up and resumed her busy work in the kitchen.

Chen Yang sat alone, slowly processing this information.

In general.

Guo Miao was on his side, but due to the rules, she could only appear on the seventh day.

Despite knowing the danger, he still recklessly went to the meeting alone.

As a result, he has become the amnesiac he is in now.

its not right...

Was I really that reckless?

Even the dumbest person wouldn't be completely unprepared...

He suddenly turned to Guo Miao and asked:

"Old Guo, how did I find you in the first place? And why did you have that little girl deliver the note to me?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Miao closed her eyes and began to recall.

"I remember it was you who brought that little girl to buy pudding at the beginning, and that's how we met."

"I ran into that little girl again this morning."

“She said it was the silver coin you gave me, which is why I thought of asking her to pass on a message to you.”

little girl?

Why is this little girl everywhere?

She took me to the pharmacy...

Then came Guo Miao's words...

These behaviors seem as if they were meticulously designed.

It seems to be a deliberate attempt to point out a clear path for Chen Yang, who has lost his memory.

The girl's words came to mind.

Big brother... you told me you wanted to play hide-and-seek for days on end... if I take you to the apothecary... you'll reward me with a silver coin to buy me a cream pudding...

hide and seek?

This is just sending the little girl to find him!

Find Chen Yang who has lost his memory and bring him to the pharmacy!

Then the little girl would take the silver coin Chen Yang gave her and go to the cake shop to buy cream pudding!

Given the little girl's lively personality, she would definitely tell Guo Miao about the origin of the silver coin!

That way, Guo Miao can find Chen Yang through the little girl!

pass!

Everything works!

Before going to the meeting alone, he had already considered that there was a psychedelic forest to the west of the forest.

If a fight breaks out, I risk losing my memory.

This little girl was Chen Yang's backup plan to prevent himself from losing his memory!

"clang--"

The clock struck five in the afternoon.

Chen Yang touched the delivery list in his pocket.

He remembered that he had to go to the west side of town at six o'clock to receive new goods.

New stock for two consecutive days?

Chen Yang snorted coldly.

Before losing my memory, I probably trusted the pharmacy owner a lot.

This can be seen from the instructions given to the little girl.

He asked the little girl to take him back to the pharmacy.

Instead of Guo Miao's dessert shop.

This shows that the proprietress was trusted by him to a degree no less than Guo Miao.

But now, Chen Yang has completely questioned the woman's identity.

The other player is most likely a player from the opposing faction.

And today at six o'clock, that will be the moment they raise their butcher's knife against Chen Yang once again.
