After a moment, the fat man seemed to react, and said quickly, "Doctor, don't be sad, maybe... maybe there's some misunderstanding. Boss Lin must have her reasons. I can feel it, she's sincere to you..."

"Don't say anymore." Jiang Cheng lowered his head, his voice very soft, "You're right, we shouldn't deceive ourselves anymore."

"Doctor..." The fat man wanted to comfort him, even if it was just making up some so-called evidence to coax him, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

A doctor is a doctor, how perfect a lie would it take to deceive him? Probably only someone like Boss Lin could do it.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Cheng was the first to speak, "Actually, from the first time I saw you, I felt very familiar, an indescribable familiarity. We should know each other, but I forgot."

"From the moment you followed me back to the studio after the first Nightmare Assault, I was sure there was something wrong with you."

"But I observed you for a long time. You're clumsy and stupid, and your thought process is different from ordinary people. Don't even mention schemes, I'm worried you'll be tricked and sold someday." Jiang Cheng slowly shook his head and said, "To expect someone like you to scheme against me, I feel insulted."

"But later, even I couldn't imagine that I would keep someone like you by my side for so long."

"Since you appeared, I can feel that I'm being changed in a very strange way. My personality, thinking, logic, and judgment..."

"I've become hesitant, indecisive, and more and more like the silly appearance I often laugh at you for having."

"This kind of change makes me inexplicably terrified. I told myself that after I find the secret about you, I'll immediately make you disappear." He said softly, "Disappear forever."

Hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but shudder. He really didn't think so much. At first, he just wanted to find someone powerful to rely on, but later he found that being with the doctor was quite fun.

"But who knew, while thinking about it, I forgot." Jiang Cheng sighed, looked out the dark window, his dark eyes seeming to blend into the night.

"You're a very good person, Fatty. Whether as a friend in life or a partner in a mission, you're trustworthy."

"You've never been a burden, never. With you by my side, I feel very secure. Even if I'm being targeted by a ghost, in a difficult situation, I know I'm not alone."

"Not far from me, there's a fat man. Although he's not smart, he'll definitely do his best to save me, even if it's with the dumbest method, exchanging his life for mine, he won't let anything happen to me!"

Jiang Cheng looked at the fat man's red and swollen eyes, and said softly, "You're my support, Fatty."

His lips trembling, the fat man was momentarily like a lost child.

Jiang Cheng patted the fat man's shoulder and said seriously, "I promise you, I'll figure everything out, but now there's no time to be sad. We all have to cheer up and leave here alive first."

Jiang Cheng's words seemed to give the fat man new hope. The fat man quickly wiped his face twice, dried his tears, and nodded repeatedly to Jiang Cheng, "I'll listen to you, Doctor!"

"Creak—"

The door was pushed open, and Huai Yi cautiously poked his head in, just in time to see Jiang Cheng and the fat man's brotherly affection, and was also stunned, "Brother Jiang, Brother Fugui, that Wang Qi said he has something to discuss with you."

Wang Qi was standing behind Huai Yi.

"Come in and talk," Jiang Cheng gestured.

Huai Yi was perceptive enough not to join in.

Because of the change in identity, the fat man's feelings for Wang Qi presented a very strange feeling. This peace buckle could be considered a token to prove his identity, but he really couldn't remember Wang Qi's face.

If he had to describe it, it was like two brothers who had never met before. One day, one brother came to the other with a family heirloom jade pendant and said, "Big brother, hello, we are long-lost brothers."

That was the situation, but the emotional shift and recognition would take time.

Wang Qi also saw the fat man's awkwardness and comforted him, "Code names are just numbers, let's call each other by our names as before."

"I don't have any memory of that person named Huai Yi." Wang Qi tilted his head and looked at the door, "Is he reliable?"

"He should be fine," Jiang Cheng said.

"That's good, I have some thoughts on the mission, call him in too," Wang Qi said.

After Huai Yi came in, he behaved very honestly, choosing a seat that was neither too close nor too far, a wooden chair, as if he sensed something.

"We still didn't rescue anyone this time," Wang Qi said, "Not to mention rescuing people, we didn't even see the bodies."

"Yeah, this is the fourth time, and we only have five chances in total." Hearing this, Huai Yi couldn't help but worry, if the last mission failed again, everyone would be left behind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Wang Qi, but suddenly found that the other party was also looking at him, in a blatant way.

After a moment, Wang Qi said indifferently, "There's nothing to hide, I'm already dead. The current me should be considered a ghost imprisoned on the bus."

"It's just that the role I'm playing is special, I'm your teammate. As for why this is the case, I don't know either." He tapped his finger, "This part of my memory has been erased."

Although he had guessed that Wang Qi was a ghost, hearing it from the other party's mouth, and with such an indifferent tone, still made Huai Yi's scalp tingle.

Wang Qi didn't mean to embarrass Huai Yi, he was just stating the facts, then turned his head, looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "I can understand the failure of the first three missions, but last time, we even solved the Half-Body Statue within the specified time, and terminated the Sculpture Hall's urban legend from the source. Why couldn't we rescue anyone?"

"Go on," Jiang Cheng gestured.

Wang Qi's expression was strange for a moment, then he said, "Could there be a possibility that these missions are simply impossible to complete? No matter how well we do, these lost personalities... are going to die."

"Then does this mission have no chance of survival?" The fat man asked in surprise.

"Of course not, but I always feel like something is missing, maybe..." Wang Qi paused, and said in a strange tone, "The truth is hidden in the last mission."

Everyone was tired after tossing around all night. After a brief discussion, the few people chose to rest, waiting for the last sunrise in this world in a few hours.

Wang Qi told them to rest and stayed up to keep watch.

Jiang Cheng didn't refuse.

Day broke later than everyone expected, so that the original 1.5-hour class was compressed to less than half an hour.

After class, the group didn't have time to eat in the cafeteria, bought a few jianbing guozi and went straight to the small forest.
