As the word "door" entered Jiang Cheng's ears, something stirred within him, no, not within his body, but... as if in the deepest part of his soul.

As if something was slowly opening its eyes.

But Jiang Cheng had no time to pay attention to this, because No. 10 in front of him also seemed to be frightened. He raised his head and stared blankly behind Jiang Cheng.

At the same time, a hand slowly caressed Jiang Cheng's back.

But Jiang Cheng didn't feel anyone approaching at all. This person behind him seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Sir!" No. 10 exclaimed.

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

The next second, Jiang Cheng felt No. 10 looking at him, then raising his head again, looking firmly at the person called Sir. "I'm sorry, Sir, it's all my fault. I secretly let Zero out. It has nothing to do with the others."

"I just think he's too pitiful. Punish me if you want to!"

It seemed that everyone had awe for this person called Sir, and no one tried to challenge his authority.

His body became stiff. Jiang Cheng felt that after being touched by that hand, his whole body froze. He tried hard to turn his head, even if he would die at the hands of this Sir.

He was afraid of death, but even more afraid of losing the opportunity to know the truth.

Appearing here, he instinctively believed that this was not an ethereal dream, but another world, different from dreams.

More like a memory.

A strange force brought him back to a sealed memory, and this memory was the part he had once lost.

Strange fragments often appeared in his mind, scenes he had never experienced, but were strangely familiar.

"Ugh..."

A strong stabbing pain struck him from behind.

That hand was only pressing on his back, but he felt it reaching into his body, as if his internal organs were being churned.

The other party was looking for something...

That door!

Just as his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, suddenly, a crisp sound of a knife being unsheathed rang out. The next moment, the hand that had reached into his body disappeared as if it had been cut off.

Along with the agonizing pain of his internal organs being churned, it also disappeared.

Another person appeared...

He immediately thought of the mysterious man in black, who had freed him from his restraints and released him from Room Zero.

No, it wasn't a person, it should be a will.

The Sir standing behind him was also a will.

Now, two wills were clashing behind him. Even with his back turned, he could feel the intensity of the battle.

But what worried him was that the man in black had only appeared at the right time, catching the other party off guard, but in the subsequent confrontation, he did not have the upper hand.

There was even a vague tendency to fall into a disadvantage.

This Sir was obviously looking for the door inside his body. This memory must have been how he brought himself back.

And the man in black was stopping him.

Seeing two men fighting for him, but he didn't know either of them, such a corny plot was actually happening to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, trying to clear his head. He instinctively felt that everything that followed would be very important.

Of course, he didn't want Sir to defeat the man in black, but equally, he didn't want the man in black to win. He hoped that the two would fight to a draw, so that he would have enough time.

His idea was very simple. He wanted to find out the past he had forgotten, taking advantage of this opportunity...

With the man in black sharing the pressure, his actions were no longer restricted. He raised his arm and grabbed at No. 10's face with all his strength.

He wanted to tear open the mist on his face and see his real face under the mist.

"Who exactly are you?"

Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, his face twisted from excessive force.

He smelled a familiar scent on No. 10. This person was very important to him, but he had forgotten him...

"Crack--"

"Crack--, crack--"

It seemed that the battle between the man in black and Sir had torn the stability of space. Everything in front of him began to distort in a completely incomprehensible way.

He gradually retreated, retreating uncontrollably...

Getting further and further away from No. 10.

First, he retreated to the corridor outside. Then, the children, each holding a gift, walked backwards out of the door, accompanied by the children's happy laughter. The scene was indescribably bizarre.

But then, Jiang Cheng understood. It was playing in reverse...

Everything that had happened since he came to this world was being replayed in reverse, as if a force wanted to erase his memory again.

It was that Sir!

Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate. If it was the man in black, he wouldn't have to go to so much trouble. That was a guy who hated trouble.

Such a thought suddenly popped into Jiang Cheng's mind.

Finally, before he forgot everything, a knife flashing with cold light, like cutting through the night, split the chaos in his mind.

The next second, this world, this dilapidated orphanage... shattered with a bang.

"Hoo--"

He suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had stepped into the air, and woke up from the bed.

"What's wrong?" In front of him was a face that made him feel safe, and the voice made him feel comfortable. Lin Wan'er sat beside his bed, looking at him with concern. "Did you have a nightmare?"

Jiang Cheng sat up, took the water glass Lin Wan'er handed him, his fingers trembling constantly, causing ripples in the water in the glass.

In the ripples, Jiang Cheng lowered his head, looking at his reflection in the water, and actually had a kind of unreal illusion.

"It's okay." Jiang Cheng shook his head, exhaled, and said, "Maybe I've been too nervous lately."

His eyes swept over, and he suddenly found that Fatty was gone. His bed... was empty.

The outside was just beginning to dawn. According to this Fatty's courage, even if he had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts, he would not dare to sneak out alone to find clues, unless...

"The people from the other room came to find him just now, and he went to check the situation." A strange look flashed across Lin Wan'er's face, and she looked at Jiang Cheng's eyes and said, "Your guess yesterday was correct, something did follow us."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's eyes paused, and he immediately asked, "Who is it this time?"

"Fu Fu," Lin Wan'er said.

"Her?!" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. When he first heard that something had happened in the other room, his first reaction was Huai Yi.

It wasn't that he didn't trust him, it was just...

"I'll go take a look." After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng got out of bed, came to the door, opened the door and walked out.

Lin Wan'er looked at Jiang Cheng's back, and an indescribable emotion flashed in her narrow eyes. She slowly stretched out her arm.

The cuff slipped down along the smooth and fair skin, revealing a slender wrist.

There was an extremely thin and shallow wound on her wrist. At first glance, it looked like a red string tied around her wrist.

Turning her head, Lin Wan'er shook her cuff and looked at the wall next to the door. There, a black shadow stood at some unknown time.

The shadow remained on the wall, the surface rippling with strange waves. In the waves, there was a pair of blood-red eyes, looking at her.
