“Doctor, are you saying... you have amnesia?” Fatty blinked, then, as if to comfort him or to himself, said, “That’s good, that’s good.”

Jiang Cheng raised his head, staring at Fatty with a strange look.

Belatedly realizing, Fatty swallowed. The doctor was clearly waiting for his explanation. “Doctor,” Fatty said embarrassedly, “don't get me wrong. Based on my years of reading novels, generally, the parents are sacrificed at the beginning, there’s a beautiful female boss exploiting you, you have a calm and intelligent mind, and maybe a little bit of personality disorder...”

Fatty exclaimed excitedly, "This is a textbook protagonist fate! And you also have amnesia, Doctor, which makes it even more secure!"

"Protagonist, Doctor, do you understand? You have an aura, you won't die easily!"

"Well... that's my business," Jiang Cheng tilted his head, "what does it have to do with you?"

"I'm your number one lackey!" Fatty slapped his thigh, his previous depression swept away, and said proudly, "In other words, I'm your number one supporting character. The main supporting character by the protagonist's side is also hard to kill off."

Glancing at Fatty, Jiang Cheng silently stood up and went upstairs to sleep.

Fatty followed closely behind the doctor, taking small steps, after all, his happiness for the rest of his life depended on him.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.

Fatty hugged his quilt, blocking the entrance to his bedroom, his face full of expectation. "Doctor," he said happily, "I feel like I've been hurt today, you need to compensate me."

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment, "Get lost."

"Okay, Doctor."

Just as the bedroom door was about to close, Fatty turned around and came back.

"Wait, Doctor," Seeing the doctor's expression becoming subtle, Fatty quickly said, "I still have some things I don't understand about the last instance. Can you explain it to me, protagonist Doctor, or I won't be able to sleep soundly." He said in a pleading tone.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while, and in the end, didn't close the door.

Seeing an opening, Fatty couldn't wait to ask, "Doctor, how did you figure out that being eaten by the old woman would clear the instance?" He paused, then said embarrassedly, "That... isn't easy to figure out, right?"

"Who was the first one eaten?" Jiang Cheng leaned against the wall, looking at him as he asked.

"The biker girl." Fatty answered without thinking.

"Think carefully before answering."

Fatty was stunned, followed by a long silence. Suddenly, a light flashed in Fatty's eyes. "Doctor," he said quickly, "it was the child placed on the stone plate by the old man."

Jiang Cheng nodded, "That's right, that child was eaten, and then?"

"Then... then the curse began! The natives were slaughtered, and the invaders were transformed into new natives, and then... waiting for the next batch..."

Fatty spoke faster and faster, more and more excitedly. The smiles on the faces of those being slaughtered played repeatedly in his mind, representing liberation.

And those invaders who committed the crimes violently.

They lost their minds and became like that after the child was swallowed. It was the curse, the blood released after the curse was activated that affected them.

"It's reincarnation," Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at the night outside the window. Tonight was even quieter than any previous night, and his tone was also filled with some melancholy, "a new reincarnation has been opened, which also represents the end of the previous reincarnation."

"So... to end the current reincarnation, you can only use life as a sacrifice," Fatty's lips trembled, "but not to the natives, or those revived stone statues, but to sacrifice to the old woman?"

"No, no, I mean the monster... attached to the old woman."

"The priest of this generation is the old woman, and the woman in the white dress is the priest of the previous generation. Their roles are the same, they are all to ensure that the curse can continue." Fatty swallowed, "Is that right, Doctor?"

"Mm."

Fatty sighed, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of the gap between himself and the doctor. If he had come to this instance himself, he would have died for sure.

"And the people in Black Stone Town also reminded us," Jiang Cheng said lightly, "they said that a child called a demon was born in the town, and ate the nun who presided over the construction of the church."

Fatty recalled for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, Doctor," after a long while, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "So... this is also a hint, right? But there is interference, the important thing is not the demon eating the nun, but being eaten by the demon attached to the nun!"

"Doctor, you are really amazing," he praised sincerely.

"Hoo—" Jiang Cheng sighed, and moved his gaze to Fatty's face again. The faint light shone vaguely on the former's face. In Fatty's eyes, he felt that the rich woman was not only rich and stupid, but also had very discerning eyes.

"This isn't entirely what I came up with," Jiang Cheng said, "I only thought of half of it, but I wouldn't have been confident enough to bet on it based only on the part I came up with."

Fatty was stunned, then seemed to think of something, "Doctor, are you talking about... Chen Ran."

"Mm," Jiang Cheng nodded, he didn't avoid this point. In the duel in the last instance, he was completely controlled by this young man who was about his age.

Moreover... he also smelled a strange and familiar scent in Chen Ran's eyes.

That's right, it was from those eyes of his.

This was the real reason why Jiang Cheng waved his knife and crippled his eyes.

Because... he felt a strange disgust, even... a fear from the bottom of his heart for that familiarity.

"Doctor," Fatty noticed the abnormality on Jiang Cheng's face, he seemed to be trying his best to suppress something, and looked a little painful, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." After a moment, the familiar doctor returned.

Fatty blinked, becoming more and more confused.

But he still seized the time to ask the last few questions. According to his understanding of the doctor, the doctor's willingness to answer other people's questions depended solely on his mood.

If he was in a good mood, he might say a few words to you, if he was in a bad mood, he wouldn't say a word to you, and... for no reason at all.

He was worried that the doctor's mood would be just so-so after he woke up.

"Doctor," he asked quickly, "Do you still remember the milky white fuel inside the lighthouse? What was that all about?"

Later, he heard the doctor say that the fuel released a strange smell after burning, which not only had a hallucinatory effect on people, but also awakened the nearby stone carvings.

Liang Long died because of this.

And both Su Xiaoxiao and Chen Ran made a big fuss about this fuel.

Jiang Cheng was rarely silent for a while before opening his mouth and saying, "That should be the grease from some kind of creature."

Fatty twitched his nose and said in a low voice, "Doctor, do you remember? That stuff smelled so good when it burned, and after smelling it for a while, it didn't seem so hungry anymore."
