    After Lu Hua fell down, the surrounding scene immediately disappeared and returned to the original vast snowfield.

    Li Chendong, who was closest to Lu Hua, immediately supported him and kept calling his name, while other shareholders ran up to surround him.

    Zhou Tong slightly raised his voice and said, "Don't call out, he's lost his memory again."

    Xiang Ya asked worriedly: "Since Lu Hua's amnesia is related to the excessive power of grievances in his body, this time we completed the copy of "The Bionic World" and released so much grievances to keep him awake for such a short time?"

    After Zhou Tong checked his body and made sure there was nothing serious, he stood up and answered Xiang Ya.

    "Yes, the power that Lu Hua has endured these years is far deeper than you imagined. Even if he releases a SSS-based resentment power, it will only restore him to sobriety for a short time."

    "I will know about this, it was the first time Li Chendong met Lu Hua and came to ask me what to do..."

    This sentence was Zhou Tong explaining to the rest of the shareholders why he knew that Lu Hua had lost his memory.

    Huang Li frowned, and said, "Why is it that Lu Hua is willing to tell us about such a serious matter? Does he just distrust us so much?"

    "Perhaps Gu Quenan knows the consequences of mastering An Cheng, so he won't want to seize power."

    Hong Niansi also stood up, he said: "Huang Li, do you think Gu Quenan really cares about losing his memory?"

    "He doesn't care at all, because he already knows from the fact that he let the managers get the clues of the super-level time and space in advance, and disregarded the lives of the sleepers."

    Hearing this sentence, Huang Le paused, feeling a little excited: "Hong Niansi, what exactly are you trying to say?!"

    Shan Leiying immediately stopped Huang Li, who was about to lose his temper at any time.

    Hong Niansi also showed a trace of depression on his gentle face.

    "What I want to say is that Gu Quenan hates Lu Hua, why did Lu Hua save him back then..."

    He pointed to the new shareholder, Yanli, and said, "I heard what did Lu Hua ask Yan Li before saving her?"

    "We can no longer become human beings. The seven of us will always be bound together with An Cheng, always awake, and forever lonely."

    "Lu Hua made us complete reincarnation when we were on the verge of death. At that time, we wanted to live so much, we tried our best to live, even if we lived in this state, we were willing..."

    "But reason will return. When Gu Quenan became a shareholder, he regretted it. He also hated Lu Hua and the whole An Cheng."

    "Especially when he became the manager of Security Service, he saw that managers who made mistakes could be purged, exiled, and given the opportunity to reincarnate, but he wanted to stay in An Cheng forever, why didn't he hate it?"

    Hong Niansi asked back in a voice, turning his yellow face from red to white.

    But he continued to speak, forcefully uncovering the scars that everyone had deliberately ignored, cruelly exposing the bloody flesh and blood inside.

    "Lu Hua said so much just now to whitewash the peace, leaving a little room for Gu Quenan."

    "Because once you tell the truth about this matter, can you not care if it turns ugly, or do you mean that all of us have never regretted it all these years?"

    Hong Niansi's speech was gentle and gentle, even when he was speaking questioningly, his tone was more sad.

    Everyone could hear his sorrow.

    Huang Li was speechless.

    Xiang Ya and Zhang Fanyu stared blankly at the arguing among the shareholders in front, while Yan Li beside him had been quietly listening in. She understood that these words were also what Hong Niansi wanted to say to her, so that she could be mentally prepared.

    Li Chendong helped Lu Hua, raised his head and said sharply: "Hong Niansi, stop talking, don't you think it's not messy enough now?"

    Hong Niansi lowered his head and looked at him, "But if you don't make it clear, who can guarantee that the second Gu Quenan will appear?"

    "Will it be up to Lu Hua to restore his memory from time to time to turn the tide?"

    Zhou Tong and the others frowned at the same time.

    The atmosphere suddenly plunged into freezing point.

    "But everyone is an adult, and we must learn to be responsible for our own choices." Yan Li spoke calmly, breaking the freezing point, "Even if I made a mistake, I should blame myself for not thinking clearly, instead of blindly resenting the person who pulled me up in the first place." people."

    Her sudden opening attracted everyone to look at her.

    Faced with the colleagues who are about to work together, Yan Li is not at all uncomfortable.

    She said: "Don't just be obsessed with whether you still have reincarnation, think about how many souls have been entrusted to be ghosts for decades and hundreds of years. Compared with them, what are we?"

    "What's more, the longer the time, the more things can be done. Maybe the time to solve An Cheng's predicament is in the not-too-distant future?"

    "We can afford to wait."

    Yan Li knows best what turning point waiting can bring, not because she is willing to wait, she will not succeed in changing the world line.

    She stared at several shareholders and said, "I can understand why Lu Hua sacrificed so much to protect Ancheng. Could it be that he founded An Cheng because he accidentally became a loading container at the beginning?"

    "No, it's because when a ghost finally releases his resentment, how relaxed it is, only he knows that feeling."

    "Although it may only be for a moment for him, he has always remembered it until now."

    "He wants to release the grievances of so many ghosts so that those grievances can be truly redeemed."

    "This is the meaning of An Cheng's existence."

    Yan Li gradually walked towards Lu Hua, Duan Yuan and others subconsciously walked to both sides, revealing Lu Hua being supported by Li Chendong.

    "Because where crows go..." she said slowly.

    "Where crows go..." Lu Hua's closed eyeballs rolled wildly, but he subconsciously followed up with the words.

    "It's a place where souls flow."

    ——It is also the place where I want to redeem.

    All the shareholders followed the first half of the sentence and silently read the second half of the sentence together with Lu Hua who was speaking in a coma.

    The next second, Lu Hua leisurely opened his eyes. He looked around at the familiar and unfamiliar people, shrinking his body nervously. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yan Li and Shi Lai not far away. He quickly stood up and greeted them.

    "Yan Li, Shi Lai, long time no see!" Lu Hua pursed her lips tightly and stumbled.

    The rest of the people had different expressions when they heard this sentence, like Huang Li, Shan Leiying and the others saw his amnesia for the first time, and their expressions were dignified and sad.

    Lu Hua also saw Xiang Ya and Zhang Fanyu. He had always felt guilty about the sleep testers he managed, and it seemed that he didn't care much about Zhang Fanyu.

    He saw Huang Liao, a shareholder of the management council, looking at him hesitantly, worried that he might be accused of not doing a good job, and he was so frightened that he immediately walked to Zhang Fanyu's side.

    When passing by Shi Lai, he asked in a low voice: "Am I going to be resigned?"

    Shi Li silently shook his head.

    Duan Yuan asked with a crying voice, "Lu Hua, where have you been since you lost your memory?"

    Lu Hua looked inexplicably at the opposite shareholders who he had almost no contact with. He obviously didn't know them, but he knew their names and personalities.

    He said frankly: "I'm in An Cheng, I've always been in An Cheng."

    "This is my home, where can I go?"

    Hearing the second half of the sentence, Duan Yuan burst into tears and said, "Why are you so pitiful, Lu Hua? You've been in An Cheng all this time but we can't see you."

    Yellow and red eyes stared at him.

    Lu Hua looked blankly at her crying, and the expressions of the others looked uncomfortable.

    He whispered to Zhang Fanyu next to him: "What happened to them?"

    Zhang Fanyu stared at him and said softly: "They are digesting the truth, maybe they will grow into more responsible people after a while..."

    "Oh, so that's how it is." Lu Hua didn't understand what he heard, but felt that it was a good thing that there was still a chance to grow.

    He nervously said to Zhou Tong and the others: "Then you guys come on..."

    Duan Yuan heard their conversation and cried even louder.

    ...

    After Xiang Ya and Zhang Fanyu left the top floor, they followed Yan Li and Shi Lai to Yanli's coffee shop, followed by Zhou Tong and Li Chendong.

    Yan Li looked around at the suicide site that she had dedicated herself to creating for herself, and sighed for a while.

    Now she wants to die but can't die.

    Lu Hua sat uncomfortably in the middle of the sofa, with Zhou Tong and Li Chendong sitting on both sides, making him uncomfortable and staring down at his palms.

    Yan Li handed the brewed coffee to several people.

    Soon, she came to Shi Lai's side, sat on the armrest of his chair, leaned lazily on his body, and sighed: "I'm so tired."

    "It seems that I can finally rest for a while."

    Shi Lai squeezed her hand, and replied in a low voice: "Well, I almost killed Gui Chi."

    Saying these words, a trace of violence flashed deep in Shi Lai's eyes.

    Lu Hua on the opposite side had already picked up the coffee and drank it awkwardly to hide his nervousness.

    Li Chendong looked at him like this, and asked Zhou Tong: "Is he going to stay in this state forever?"

    "Well, when more dream commissions are completed, he will be able to wake up for a while." Zhou Tong said.

    "Is there any other way?" He asked eagerly again.

    Lu Hua listened to everyone's public opinion and the topic returned to him. He was so nervous that his hands and feet began to sweat. He kept holding a cup of coffee and was reluctant to put it down.

    At this time Zhou Tong looked at Xiang Ya and said: "One of her sisters, who used to be the ghost Mei Qingniang in the copy of "Ghost Qingniang", heard that she has done some research on the separation of causal lines. I plan to do it for a while. , go to her for cooperation."

    Aware of Xiang Ya's worry, she said, "Don't worry, I won't disturb or lose the causal line."

    "So I may not be able to participate in the next copy of "Luo Sheng"."

    Li Chendong lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, I discussed this dungeon with Huang Le just now, Duan Yuan has to hurry up to complete the parallel universe, and I want to manage An Cheng, so the next dungeon will be run by Hong Niansi Accompanied by Huang Le."

    Zhou Tong kept looking at Li Chendong, thought for a while, and then turned to Xiang Ya: "Can you accept this arrangement?"

    Xiang Ya didn't object. At this time, Shi Lai suddenly said: "Let me connect with my sleep tester at that time. If the dungeon is related to Gui Chi's statue, I might be able to help."

    Yan Li frowned, trying to stop him, but was interrupted by Li Chendong: "Yes, if you have one more, you will have a better chance of winning."

    Shi Lai whispered: "I won't go into the copy, don't worry."

    Yan Li didn't say anything.

    Part of the personnel accompanying the dungeon is tentatively determined, and the next step is to start analyzing the data of the "Luo Sheng" dungeon.

    Li Chendong took out some documents from the archives, and pointed to the only distorted photo on it, which showed the scene that everyone saw on the top floor.

    He said: "This is also an SSS book. An Cheng received its commission in 2004, which means it appeared 18 years ago."

    "There were some sleep testers who participated in this dungeon, and this photo was taken by them."

    "How are those people doing now?" Zhang Fanyu asked subconsciously.

    Li Chendong's hand on the photo paused, and his voice was flat: "They're all dead."

    "How did he die? I remember that we haven't seen the video about this copy of "Luo Sheng"."

    "That video can't be watched in its entirety, because the level of infection in this dungeon is too high, and the sleep testers who entered it were all infected into ghosts in the dungeon. Someone once watched the video of this dungeon, and was corroded by resentment not long after. to death."

    "When it appeared back then, the testing institute, the predecessor of the Security Service, sent people down to investigate, and the assessment difficulty was SS level. Although many people died after entering, everyone could see the contents through the screen in the monitoring room. "

    "The content displayed on the screen is also within the difficulty range of other SS Levels. Everyone thought that this was a relatively difficult SS Level. It is not surprising that the death rate is relatively high."

    "Until..." Li Chendong let go of the hand holding the photo, hesitant to speak.

    When Zhou Tong heard this, she completely remembered what happened eighteen years ago. At that time, there was a lot of commotion in the supervision room, and many infected managers were sent to her side.

    She glanced at Li Chendong again, and continued to speak for him.

    "Until that time, a sleep tester who went in contacted her manager privately during the live broadcast of the dream. I remember that manager was Tang Zhong's wife, Zhang Umbrella, right?"

    Li Chendong gave a "hmm", affirming Zhou Tong's statement.

    "That's right, Zhang Sanqiao was in charge of that girl, and the sleep tester of the private association told Zhang Sanqiao with props that what everyone in the supervision room saw was fake, and used props to film that scene in time and send it to Go to Zhang Umbrella."

    Her eyes stopped on the photo, "This is the only photo left."

    "It's a pity that after the girl told the truth, the copy seemed to be able to sense all this, and immediately peeled off the real picture, and all managers who saw the content of the picture were infected."

    "The supervisory office immediately cut off the broadcast, but the infection at just one glance cost these managers their lives."

    Zhou Tong continued: "I remember Tang Zhong made a big fuss after his wife died..."

    Li Chendong nodded.

    Xiang Ya was puzzled and asked: "Then how did An Cheng know that the sleep testers who participated in the dungeon have become ghosts?"

    Li Chendong looked at her: "I learned it from the girl who told us the truth at first."

    He took out a flip phone from his clothes, and as soon as he opened it, an incoming call came immediately.

    It looks very abrupt in a quiet coffee house.

    Li Chendong calmly pressed the connect button, there was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, and not long after, a scream sounded like sandpaper rubbing on the ground.

    "I don't want to become a ghost with you! No! Ah..."

    The scream seemed to be dragged away, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing, the scream lasted for an unknown number of seconds before it stopped.

    Everyone who heard this call for the first time held their breath. Even Lu Hua couldn't help but put down his coffee and listened with wide eyes.

    But Li Chendong still didn't hang up the phone.

    After a while, a voice broke out from the other end of Kongkong again: "Look at me! Look at me! I'll make you look at me!"

    The sound was extremely close to the microphone, and the volume suddenly increased.

    The sudden violent female voice seemed to explode in everyone's hearts, making people's hair stand on end.

    And the voice is the same as the original female voice, it's hard not to wonder if she completed the transformation from human to ghost in the gap time just now.

    Li Chendong covered the phone, and those terrifying voices went away from everyone.

    He looked at everyone steadily, "It was through this phone call that we found out, and the photo was also taken with this phone."

    "This is a prop used by Zhang Umbrella to communicate with the sleep tester. So many people died at that time, and the degree of infection in the copy was so high. Only this phone survived the disaster and did not infect others."

    Yan Li got up from Shi Lai, straightened up, and said earnestly: "Although Tang Zhong and I often disagree, and we have experienced many things with him, to be honest, I didn't know that he had a wife in An Cheng. .”

    "I always thought he was the same period I came in, but I entered abroad, and he entered at home."

    Zhou Tong shook his head and explained: "He and his wife joined An Cheng a long time ago, and they still joined as human managers. It's just that before Zhang Sanqiao's incident, the couple were not well-known managers."

    "It's rare for his wife to meet a good seedling and let her go to SS Level to practice. Unexpectedly, the dungeon was disguised, and the group of people who went in were wiped out."

    Zhou Tong sighed, and said: "After that incident, the difficulty of the dungeon was immediately raised to SSS level and blocked, but the damage had already been done, Tang Zhong resigned, and after a few years came back as a sleep tester, and then accepted the ghostly influence. Be a manager again."

    "After this time, he worked a lot harder and desperately wanted to find some good seedlings to improve his points, but everyone was overwhelmed by Gui Chi's limelight, so Tang Zhong's existence was not so conspicuous."

    "A few years later, the thief incident happened. I saw that Tang Zhong was also on the punishment list. I asked him if he wanted to be exiled. He said no. I thought of his past experience, and I exchanged him with the conditions of the experiment for a while. with impunity."

    Yan Li's delicate eyebrows flashed suddenly, and he thought: "It turned out that Zhou Tong saved him, no wonder..."

    Hearing this, Xiang Ya asked, "So who is that girl?"

    Now only this girl is the most special, only she found the problem, notified the manager in time, and left the key things.

    Li Chendong took out an old document from the bag beside him and put it in front of everyone.

    A photo of a girl with a sweet smile is printed on the upper right corner of the file form, with all her information written beside it.

    "Her name is Guo Xiatao. She has been a sleep tester since she was 22 years old. She has participated in 15 dungeons in An Cheng. She is quite good. Zhang Sanqiao also wanted to train her to be in the top 50 of the overall list."

    "Unfortunately, however, I met SSS Ben."

    Xiang Ya stared at the girl's address on the watch, silently remembered it in her mind, and planned to go to the girl's house to find out after leaving An Cheng.

    At this time, Lu Hua also came up to take a look. Looking at the girl's photo, he suddenly said, "Two people."

    Everyone was taken aback, staring up at him motionless.

    Xiang Ya asked, "What two people? How did you find out?"

    Lu Hua raised his head blankly, "There are only two people, and there is another person behind her."

    "Didn't you see it?"

    The whole coffee shop fell into an eerie silence.

    They really didn't see it.

    Xiang Ya hasn't felt scared for a long time, but at this moment, she still couldn't help swallowing, she pointed to the photo and asked again.

    "Where is the person behind standing?"

    Lu Hua pointed to the position of Guo Xiatao's collarbone, "There, the collarbone is translucent. A red-eyed woman came from behind. Her eyes were blocked by the collarbone, so there were two people."

    As he spoke, he frowned, "However, this woman is disappearing now."

    Everyone was silent, they felt that things were getting weirder now.

    Li Chendong asked: "Lu Hua, you can still see or hear the name "Luo Sheng", do you notice any other strange things?"

    Lu Hua looked at the file list seriously, and after a while, he shook his head honestly, "No more, I just found out that there are two women."

    Li Chendong's face was a bit serious, and after he said "um", he said, "Let's put Guo Xiatao's matter aside for now, and I'll tell you about the background information that An Cheng currently has related to this dungeon."

    "What An Cheng learned temporarily is that the background of the dungeon reality is not in China. Judging from the screen recording of SS Level at that time, the place should be nearby Vietnam."

    "The location automatically arranged by the hotel this time is also in Vietnam, which was very close in China in the past."

    "At that time, you should pay attention to a place called Borneo Street, and be familiar with the terrain... because a female sculpture appeared on a certain street in the dungeon. We compared the street details and found that it fits the real Borneo Street more closely."

    "Then in the copy, what's the name of the street?" Zhang Fanyu asked at this time.

    "Death Street." Li Chendong said.

    "Are all the street buildings different from reality?" Zhang Fanyu asked again.

    "Yes, there is no such name in reality."

    Listening to their conversation, Xiang Ya thought that when she was adventuring in the dungeon of "Headless Ghost", the place of the dream would overlap with the reality, and there would not be too much difference. Only then could she go to find it with Yan Li after the dungeon was over. Jia Jia's village.

    But now Li Chendong said that the names of the street buildings in the dream were different from those in reality, and this dungeon seemed even more weird.

    Li Chendongjian explained everything about the dungeon clearly, and he rubbed his frowning brows.

    "I didn't expect that after Lu Hua recovered his memory, he would let everyone participate in this dungeon. In fact, I went down to test this dungeon with other people."

    "To be honest, I don't think I made a mistake in my own test back then. Maybe you sound like it's trying to save your respect now, but at that time we absolutely judged based on the data..."

    "But I can't absolve myself of the responsibility for what happened later. What I'm most afraid of is hearing about things related to this dungeon."

    Li Chendong's face was heavy.

    Zhou Tong patted him on the shoulder, silently comforting him.

    When she heard the name of "Luo Sheng" just now, she remembered the relationship between Li Chendong and it before, but it happened too long ago, and many details were forgotten. It was Li Chendong's statement that she gradually remembered everything .

    She said: "It took Lu Hua a short time to recover his memory. As soon as he woke up, he asked everyone to have a meeting. Everyone didn't know why he let you participate in the SSS "Luo Sheng"."

    Zhou Tong looked at Lu Hua who was staring at her ignorantly, "But he would say that, there must be his intentions, right?"

    Lu Hua smiled, "It should be."

    The author has something to say:

    Tomorrow there should be only one update for Mid-Autumn Festival~

    (I just borrowed the country name of Vietnam, so I made up the place name, don’t be serious~)
