Xiao Zhi watched Frost in front of him staring at the straw snake alone in a daze. He sat there quietly, like a solidified stone statue, making people almost think that time had stopped again.

Suppressing the slightly sour emotions in his heart, Xiao Zhi prepared to withdraw from the room and find a way to leave this memory. He also had to find Frost trapped in the memory, but he couldn't stay here forever.

But he found himself unable to leave the room.

The door of the room was tightly closed, it couldn't be opened without Frost's control, and now Xiao Zhi couldn't use his skills, and the power like an ordinary person couldn't open the room at all.

But Frost in the memory couldn't see him, Xiao Zhi felt like a ghost trapped in the room, unable to do anything.

Xiao Zhi could only stay with Frost quietly for a while and spend this lonely time with him.

This was the first time that Xiao Zhi spent so much time quietly looking at a person, just watching, without words or purpose, but he was surprisingly not bored and impatient.

I don't know how long has passed, the world in front of me suddenly began to fade, and little by little gray spread in the picture, and it became more and more obvious.

Not long after, a gray path appeared at Xiao Zhi's feet.

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed, this was the energy of the magic circle, the energy passed through the barrier of memories and could take him out.

Looking back at Frost, who was still silent, Xiao Zhi said goodbye to him in his heart, and then hurriedly set foot on the gray path.

The front seemed to be a rigid wall, no matter how Xiao Zhi beat him before, it didn't change at all, but walking on the path, this wall seemed to be non-existent, allowing Xiao Zhi to easily pass through it.

Passing through the fragments of memories, what appeared in front of me was a space full of fragments like before, interwoven with cobweb-like gray paths.

The surrounding environment was different from what Xiao Zhi had seen before. The fragments were constantly splitting and gathering together. There was no fixed shape, and there was almost nothing that could be used as a landmark to confirm the direction.

Xiao Zhi frowned slightly: "It's easy to get lost like this..."

The gray path under his feet is also continuously extending, and the energy fluctuations from above are still clear, allowing him to perceive the direction of the strongest position of the magic circle, which is the only guide in this disordered space.

Frost could not be seen within the line of sight, Xiao Zhi randomly chose a direction with strong energy fluctuations and continued to move forward.

This time he was more careful, avoiding the positions close to the debris, so as not to be affected by the sudden change of debris and be involved in memories again.

Go for a while.

A huge pattern suddenly appeared in front of him. The structure of the pattern was complicated, and various structures were complicated and overlapped. It exudes a dazzling golden color that is incompatible with the entire memory world, and it looks like a holy field.

Xiao Zhi recognized from this pattern that this was the magic circle behind Frost, but the hideous traces branded on the flesh were removed, and it was completely composed of golden light. It looked a little more solemn and a little less. cruel.

But in Xiao Zhi's eyes, he only felt that this array exudes a disgusting aura from head to toe.

The gray energy and the golden light were intertwined, tearing a crack in the magic circle. A large number of memory fragments leaked out from the inside, and fragments of different sizes filled the area on that side.

This time, Xiao Zhi saw himself in these fragments.

He looks like weaving grass with his head down; holding a book with a smile on his face; eating all kinds of snacks; sitting under a tree, looking like he's talking seriously, but he's probably talking shit; and he closes his eyes Sleeping like...

Xiao Zhi looked at these pictures, and Asen's eyes all fell on him, and he hardly moved around. It seemed that apart from him, there was nothing in the world that could attract people's attention.

Xiao Zhi felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He never knew that Assen was so serious and focused when he looked at him.

Moving on, there are more fragments behind the golden circle.

Among them, there are those related to Xiao Zhi, Asen alone, and an unexpected person - Noah Pei. This person, who is known as the greatest genius in the history of mankind, has many titles, the explorer who promotes the advancement of human civilization, the founder of immortality technology, the theoretical pioneer of space jumping technology, and—

Creator of ZERO.

The last title is just the most insignificant one in his life. A game is indeed the tiniest achievement compared to many feats that have changed human history, but even so, ZERO is the longest-running game in human history and remains popular to this day.

Why does Noah Bae appear in Assen's memory?

What does Noah Bae have to do with Assen?

Why has Assen never mentioned anything about this man?

Xiao Zhi walked towards these memories, trying to figure out why, but the gray road was cut off here, and the golden circle was like an insurmountable barrier, blocking him out.

The memory behind the magic circle flickered, constantly fluttering and changing positions, making it difficult for people to glimpse the memory fragments in it.

Xiao Zhi tried his best to reach the edge of the crack where the circle was torn open.

The crack is not big enough for people to pass through, but a huge pressure suddenly overflows from it, making people feel like an ant in a violent storm, so fragile that it is almost impossible to support.

He barely supported himself and looked into the crack.

Just in time, a fragment of memory floated in front of him, not far in front of him.

In the picture is a snow-white room, the floor and walls are paved with snow-white slate, and there is bright light, but this does not hide the fact that this is a prison cell.

There are bloodstains on the walls and the ground. There are thick and long iron chains on the walls. One end of the chain is firmly fixed to the wall, and the other end is locked to a person on the ground.

The man on the ground was lying face down, making it impossible to see his face, his body was covered in blood, and the clothes on his body were so torn that he could no longer see his original appearance. A silver hair that was originally bright and dazzling was stained with stains, tangled in a mess, and looked very dim. I don't know how long it has been since it has been taken care of.

The man lay motionless on the ground, like a broken corpse that was dying.

At this time, the prisoners opened.

A group of people walked in. The leader of them was a man in a white suit with gold trim, looking like a kind old man with white hair, a slightly fat body, a round face, and a pair of glasses on his face, looking very good-natured.

Xiao Zhi recognized that this person should be wearing Brace's priest uniform, which is slightly different from the current style. There is no way to accurately determine this person's identity, but in terms of the gorgeousness of the clothes, this person is in Brace Cult. The level is definitely not low.

The kind old man took a leisurely pace and entered the cell accompanied by his subordinates. He looked at the people on the ground, and his tone seemed to be regretful and helpless, just like facing his disobedient junior: "Frost , are you still unwilling to say it?"

Although he had expected it in his heart, when Xiao Zhi heard the name, he still felt that his heart had been stabbed by a sharp object, and an unbearable pain spread from the top of his heart.

He folded his fingers into the palm of his hand, clenched them tightly into fists, and continued to watch.

The people on the ground seemed to have not heard it, and still lay on their stomachs with a lifeless expression, not saying a word.

The old man was not angry either. He raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to approach, and he stepped forward until he walked in front of Frost: "Tell me, what did he tell you at the end?"

"..." Frost didn't respond, but his fingertips subconsciously tightened, as if he was nervous.

"It's still so disobedient." The old man looked at Frost on the ground, and the kindness in his tone was a little less.

He suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that you have been waiting for someone?"

Hearing this, the person who had not responded suddenly raised his head, revealing a pale face covered with blood and dirt. He looked so embarrassed, but at this moment there seemed to be light in his eyes.

Frost spoke with difficulty, his voice was hoarse, as if his vocal cords would be torn and bleeding in the next instant: "You...want to...do...what..."

Seeing that Frost finally reacted, the old man smiled again, which was obviously very amiable on his round face, but Xiao Zhi felt a chill behind him.

The old man smiled and said, "I remember that it seems to be an Asanasi, right?"

Frost looked at him warily, without words.

There was malice in the old man's eyes, but his smile became brighter: "I'll tell you a secret, although the Asanaxi people claim to be immortal, their average lifespan is only about 80 years old. When you met, he was at least 20 years old. How old is he? Guess how many years have passed? How old should he be?"

Frost's eyes suddenly widened, filled with horror, inconceivable, and a hint of despair: "No...you...liar..."

The old man seemed to be delighted by his reaction. The corners of his mouth raised more and more arcs, to the point of being a bit hideous. His right hand was raised in the air and swayed towards the subordinates behind him.

In an instant, a well-informed subordinate handed him a dagger.

The dagger was covered in snow-white, and don't know what material it was made of. It had a lustrous and jade-like feeling. It was like an old man's clothes, inlaid with delicate golden patterns, full of sacred aura.

At the same time, several other people walked towards Frost, who was chained and seemed to be almost immobile, reached out and pressed him firmly to the ground, making him unable to move.

The old man squatted leisurely beside Frost, reached out his hand to remove the torn clothes behind him, revealing a back covered with scars, then raised his hand and pierced the sharp point of the dagger into the wound that had not healed: " He's dead, the Asanassi can't live that long~"

When the dagger made contact with Frost's back, a golden light burst out from it. The light was like a branding iron, burning the body of the undead, and even emitted light smoke that made the scalp numb. .

"Uh..." Frost let out a painful cry, but he quickly suppressed himself, bit his lip, and stopped speaking.

The old man seemed very happy and continued: "That person disappeared suddenly, just because he was no longer interested in you. He was no longer interested, so he left and went to pursue more interesting things. This is the case with Asanassi, this is for them. Said it was normal."

As he said that, the dagger in his hand wandered on Frost's back, sculpting the magic circle with holy light, destroying the wound that had a tendency to heal.

Frost gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Cheat...people..."

The old man didn't care either. He closed his eyes and seemed to be feeling something: "Let me see, what else is hidden in your mind... Let me ask again, what did he leave for you before he died?"

Along with the old man's movements, a stream of energy entered Frost's body with the magic circle, searching for something in his mind, the energy rampaged in his brain, making his head hurt as if it were about to split.

While prying, the old man stimulated with words, trying to bring out the memories in Frost's mind that he wanted to see.

Frost was already familiar with this, and he tried his best to keep his mind from prying into his memory.

The old man opened his eyes, frowned, and an unpleasant light flashed in his eyes: "If you don't say it, I will wipe that Asanaxi from your mind, anyway, the memory related to him is so It's really annoying to have to read it every time."

As soon as the words fell, he did not wait for Frost's response, and directly and rudely added the structure to the array behind him.

Frost's back trembled slightly, on the one hand because of the pain of the burning light, on the other hand, he clearly felt the memory in his brain disappearing little by little, this feeling made him feel terrified, as if that person would eventually As far away from him.

But in the end he just remained silent, without begging for mercy or crying out in pain.

Xiao Zhi, who witnessed this memory, felt that his heart was burning with anger. He slapped the golden circle in front of him angrily. At this moment, he forgot that this was just a memory, and that he could not interfere with the memory. Man, forget that he can't break through the barrier of the magic circle at all...

Xiao Zhi angrily thumped the obstacle in front of him, his hands slammed on the hard barrier and he couldn't feel the pain. He shouted to the old man in the picture: "Shut up!!! Let him go, you old man. !!!”

The scene in front of him continued, and was not disturbed in the slightest by Xiao Zhi's actions.

The old man finally put his hand away. Frost's back was already bloody at this time. He stood up, took the silk scarf handed by his subordinate and wiped his hands. He walked out slowly without looking at the people on the ground. .

"Recently, there are other guys who want to see his memories. You should pay attention to this place. Next time, add a blocking structure to the magic circle. Only we can master the method to open the memory."

"Yes."

"Be careful, don't turn him into a fool..."

The fragments of memory drifted away, and the pictures and sounds gradually disappeared.

"Fuck!!!" Xiao Zhi punched the seal, feeling a numb pain in his hand.

It turned out that Assen actually experienced this kind of thing when he was away.

Xiao Zhi doesn't know how much of Frost's memory this circle has sealed, and he doesn't know how many times such a thing has happened. But thinking of how Frost could not even remember his name in the end, Xiao Zhi guessed that most of them were sealed, leaving only a few fragments.

Xiao Zhi looked towards the back of the circle, and there were many, many fragments inside, which sealed Frost's past. This circle is like a wall, dividing Frost's past and present.

Xiao Zhi stood on the spot, his mood was difficult to calm down.

Anger, powerlessness, doubt, and heartache are repeatedly intertwined.

What are these people looking for in Frost?

"who is he?

Will it be related to Noah Pei?

...

Xiao Zhi forced himself to calm down. Now is not the time to think about it. The most important thing is to find talent first. He could sense the gray energy fluctuations and be guided by that feeling, could Frost be the same as him?

After the overheated brain cooled down a little, Xiao Zhi took another step forward, following the guidance of the gray energy while searching for the trace of Frost in the huge number of memory fragments.

Several times, he has seen Frost's traces flash across the gaps between the fragments, but the gray path is like a layered spider web, with scattered heights and random intertwining, even if he sees it, he can't get close quickly.

And just like that, he missed Frost a few more times.

A little bit of irritability and unease accumulated in his heart, and was forcibly suppressed by Xiao Zhi. He was still walking on the gray path, constantly looking for Frost.

Finally, he found an opportunity.

A fragment of memory was flashing ahead, and Frost was stepping into it.

The location of this fragment is not far from Xiao Zhi, but it is located on the lower floor, surrounded by an intertwined gray path, and it takes a long way to get there.

Xiao Zhi estimated the distance, rushed forward sharply, and then jumped straight down with a forceful jump.

Losing the floating ability of the undead, the speed of falling is frightening.

But luckily, Xiao Zhi landed firmly in front of this memory, and before he had time to think about it, he rushed directly into the memory.

The picture in the memory is still the black forest, the familiar dark forest, and the familiar gloomy sky. Although he came in with Frost, there was no trace of him in Xiao Zhi's line of sight.

It was not the first time that he saw this situation, and Xiao Zhi began to look for traces of Frost in the forest.

The more he walked, the more familiarity floated in Xiao Zhi's heart. This seemed to be the Hessian he was most familiar with, not the Hessian he frequented after he became a secretary, but a long, long time ago, he often sneaked to avoid. The Hessian who slipped in with the monster.

In the next instant, the hunch in his heart was fulfilled.

From a distance, Xiao Zhi saw a tall white tree standing in the forest ahead. This was the scene that appeared most in their memory, and it was also the beginning of all fate.

Without any reason, Xiao Zhi knew that Frost would definitely walk down the tree.

Just like him now.

Xiao Zhi increased his speed and ran towards the position of the big white tree.

Without magic, there is no longer the lithe body of the undead, Xiao Zhi stumbled and stumbled in the forest, but his speed was getting faster and faster, because the obstacles along the way seemed to be engraved into his instinct, he subconsciously Know how to get through each place.

Finally, came to the white tree.

Xiao Zhi also saw Frost.

At this time, Frost turned his back to Xiao Zhi and walked towards the tree. There is a figure standing under the tree, with delicate and three-dimensional facial features, and there seems to be a bit of a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and there is a tear mole under his right eye, which is—Xiao Zhi’s original face.

"Xiao Zhi" under the tree was looking at Frost with a smile, he waved to Frost, motioning him to come to his side.

This "Xiao Zhi" smile didn't change a bit from beginning to end, as if wearing a rigid mask. But at this moment, Frost didn't seem to notice what was wrong with the person in front of him. He stepped forward step by step, gradually approaching the other party.

As Xiao Zhi ran forward, he hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"

He had never laughed so disgustingly before. Having had the experience of Lance being replaced by something unknown in his memories, Xiao Zhi felt that the one who replaced himself in his memories was probably not a good thing.

Frost in front was still advancing, deaf to his words. He was only a few steps away from "Xiao Zhi" in front of him, and the fake smile on "Xiao Zhi"'s face seemed to expand a bit.

Xiao Zhi had an idea and used the most familiar name for the other party: "Asen."

Hearing this, Asen's progress stopped, he hesitated and seemed to want to turn back.

"Xiao Zhi" in front of him smiled slightly, but after a while, he said in the same tone as Xiao Zhi: "Assen."

Seeing this, Frost stopped his attempts to turn back. He continued to move forward and walked towards the person waiting for him under the tree.

Xiao Zhi is going to explode, damn it! This copycat is still selling now! Do you know that plagiarism dogs are in the same place? !

Seeing that Frost was still moving forward, getting closer and closer to the thing that he didn't know what it was, Xiao Zhi touched his face and quickly opened the face pinching interface, but the interface was gray and completely unusable.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi felt a subtle feeling on his face, just like the feeling every time he changed his face. He reached out and touched his face, and as expected, he found that the ups and downs of his subordinates were different from the previous face. As a humanoid master, he was very sensitive to such changes.

Xiao Zhi touched the location of the tear mole at the corner of his eye, and sure enough, there was a slight bump there. Could this be the special effect of recalling the world? Can you change just by thinking about it?

Before he had time to think, Xiao Zhi turned to Frost's back and said, "Asen, look back, haven't you been looking for me?"

This time, Frost turned his head abruptly, looking at the familiar with the stranger in front of him, and suddenly there were fluctuations in the originally numb eyes.

Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand to him: "Come here."

Hearing this, Frost turned around and walked towards Xiao Zhi.

Just when Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, the counterfeit and shoddy products over there used the same tone as him: "Come here."

This time, Frost stopped again. He seemed to be puzzled, why did the people he wanted to meet become two? After repeatedly wandering in the dream, his consciousness is not very clear now, as if he is in a nightmare.

Xiao Zhi got angry, picked up a stone and threw it at the fake: "Go away!"

Fakes fell in response.

Then, without waiting for Frost to use his current slow thinking to think out the result, Xiao Zhi trotted a few steps forward and grabbed his hand: "Assen."

Feeling the cold temperature in his hands, Xiao Zhi's heart calmed down, and he finally found Asen.

Frost looked at the person in front of him, his eyes were serious and focused, as if he was recognizing a lost treasure. He slowly raised his hand and tried to touch the face that had appeared in his dreams countless times in front of him.

At this time, "Xiao Zhi", who was thrown down by Xiao Zhi with a stone, got up from the ground.

is really climbing.

There was a sharp whistle in his mouth, his head was twisted to 90 degrees, and his limbs stretched suddenly, looking like a weird humanoid spider.

"Hey...hehe..." The terrifying humanoid spider opened its mouth wide and rushed towards the two of them. The one who opened his mouth almost ripped his head in half.

"Damn it!" For the first time, Xiao Zhi felt that his face looked so disgusting, he grabbed Frost's hand and turned his head to run wildly.

Frost didn't struggle, he couldn't help but clenched the slender hand in his palm, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he never wanted to let go.

Xiao Zhi grabbed Frost's hand and ran in the forest, suddenly feeling a sense of time overlapping, just like when they escaped from the big spider a long time ago.

Although this "spider" looks more sorry than the previous one, the dark forest has not changed, and the two people running have not changed. Xiao Zhi subconsciously moved along the escape route in his memory. The "spider" behind him It was also thrown further and further away.

Frost also felt that the scene in front of him became more and more familiar. He looked at the person running in front of him, and a name that was buried in his heart suddenly came to his mind.

Xiao Zhi suddenly heard a voice behind him—“Little… Seven…”

Xiao Zhi turned his head in surprise and met Frost's platinum-like eyes. He could clearly see his expression in those eyes.

Frost's eyes locked on Xiao Zhi, as if to imprint his appearance in his heart: "You are Xiao Qi, right?"

Although it was an interrogative sentence, Frost's tone was firm.

He finally remembered the name that had always been separated by clouds.
