I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 182 1.11 26 The Hall of Amnesia
"What kind of mentality does someone with poor physical fitness have when they say that another person is even worse than them?" Mu Yegui squatted down next to Shui Qi, reached out and pulled a chocolate bar from in front of him, and put it in his mouth to bite.

"We're about the same," Shui Qi replied instinctively with a sigh, then realized who he was talking to and sat down on the ground in fright.

"Hmm?" Mu Yegui tilted her head, her cool silver eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"When did you appear?" Shui Qi rubbed her forehead with one hand, feeling a slight headache.

"I was here from the beginning. It's probably because our spaces are a little different, so I didn't go back to my original place but came with you all." She initially thought she would appear somewhere else, but in fact, she didn't.

Mu Yegui chewed on a piece of chocolate and asked, "Was I here all yesterday?"

“No, you were supposed to come with someone else in half an hour.” Shui Qi glanced down at Mu Yegui’s unchanging long dress, then looked at her own formal attire.

Mu Yegui did not rewind time like them; rather, he was forced back to 19 hours earlier, but he was still in the time 19 hours later.

"It seems there's no way to find out what happened last night." Because she didn't know what happened last night either, she couldn't find clues by following non-existent memories.

She didn't really want to go to Sher; she had a feeling that he would definitely hide the truth from her—it was kind of a gut feeling.

As she thought about it, she took a chocolate bar from the box in Shui Qi's hand and ate it.

"You can think about it, but don't sneak a bite." Shui Qi held the chocolate bar in her hand, looking like she would fight her to the death if Shui Qi dared to sneak a bite again.

Mu Yegui slowly stood up, patted her dress, and looked at Shui Qi with a hint of disdain in her cool silver eyes. Despite this, she kept a blank expression throughout, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

“There are some things I shouldn’t say, but established facts won’t change because of anyone. Just like how Laziness wanted Lanlos to die in his place, Lanlos couldn’t refuse. No matter how many times it happened, the result would be the same. What Daolin did was just to hasten Lanlos’s death.”

She understood these words, Shui Qi understood them, and Dao Lin understood them too, but compared to the former two, the latter's feelings were probably more direct, after all, this matter was most directly related to him.

Shui Qi nodded, but inwardly she was thinking about how she had lazily addressed Dao Lin before.

Gu...

Was Dao Lin's surname Gu before?
When people in the interstellar community hear the name Gu, their first thought is undoubtedly Gu Shurong, the famous biological scientist who is almost on par with Nalan Xu and the Federation's number one genius.

Shui Qi should have met Gu Shurong, but unfortunately he had no recollection of her at all. In fact, apart from those he knew in this world, he could hardly remember what the people he knew and was familiar with before the disaster looked like.

He had received instructions from the Crown Prince to search for someone, but now he had forgotten what those instructions were, and he didn't know if Horus remembered them. He would have to go back to headquarters after this matter was over.

Mu Yegui stood in front of the balcony railing, his cool, silver eyes quietly watching the people below.

Suddenly she felt someone pat her shoulder, and she turned her head slightly to look at him.

Jealousy stared at her intently, his expression cold and devoid of any smile. Suddenly, he sighed softly and said, "Come with me."

Mu Yegui was stunned for a moment, but still followed him.

The two walked through a special passage into a forest, where there were withered vines everywhere, and the surrounding weeds seemed to have been corroded.

Under the bright moonlight, the East Tower stands tall amidst a sea of ​​black lilies. A gentle breeze stirs the lilies, making them sway like shy maidens dancing with overflowing love for their beloved.

Jealousy stood silently in the shadow cast by the East Tower, his expression unreadable.

Mu Yegui looked at the rusty lock still lying among the weeds in front of the East Tower gate, then suddenly looked at Jealousy and asked, "Was I here last night?"

He neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply stared calmly at Mu Yegui, his dark orange eyes carrying a hint of ambiguity. A slight smile played on his lips as he said softly, "Yes, right here."

Jealousy pressed down on Mu Yegui's hand, which was resting on the door, and gently pushed it open for her.

With a creaking sound from the door, Mu Yegui saw the furnishings inside the East Tower.

It was a spiral staircase leading to the top of the tower, but it had been abandoned for a long time. Besides being covered in dust, it was extremely dilapidated and could be completely destroyed with the slightest carelessness. There was nothing at the bottom of the tower except for this staircase.

Therefore, this means that it is necessary to go upstairs.

"Let's go." Jealousy grabbed Mu Yegui's wrist and pulled her up the stairs with seemingly forceful strength.

The pitiful cries of the stairs echoed along the way. Mu Yegui turned back to look at the ground receding into the distance, a dark glint flashing in his cold, silver eyes. There seemed to be a person standing at the entrance, the moonlight shining on him and casting his shadow on the floor inside the tower.

Who is that?
Does anyone else know this place?

Shel...

Suddenly, a hand was placed in front of her eyes and covered the corner of her eyes.

"What's wrong?" a soft, sweet voice asked gently.

"I'll give you a little surprise, so close your eyes and don't look." A deep, seductive voice, tinged with jealousy, whispered in his ear, with a hint of ambiguous laughter.

Can we really believe everything this person says?
Although Mu Yegui thought this way, at this moment she had no choice but to believe it, after all, it was the choice she had made.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jealousy finally stopped, and Mu Yegui also stopped. It seemed that they had reached the top of the tower.

'Squeak~' The door was slowly pushed open, and Mu Yegui smelled a slightly decaying smell of furniture mixed with dust.

Mu Yegui removed the blindfold from his eyes and slowly opened them, where he saw a huge portrait hanging on the wall.

The portrait depicts a very beautiful person, more like a human in appearance than a human. Their silver, vertical pupils possess a cold, ruthless quality, and the corners of their mouths curve into a smile.

Besides the largest one, the walls are covered with other portraits of this person, showing him sleeping, writing, reading, and so on. Almost everything this person did has been preserved in paintings and hung here.

Everything here is covered in dust, but these portraits are spotless, showing that they are carefully wiped every day for fear of damaging them in the slightest.

She doesn't resemble the person in the portrait at all; the only similarity might be their eyes, but even then, her pupils aren't vertical. Her eyes only turn vertical when she experiences emotional fluctuations.

They are completely different. That person is perfect, while she can only maintain this appearance of being 16 years old and is only 160cm tall.

Having been used as an experimental subject in human laboratories for decades, it inevitably had an impact.

She could never grow up again.

“…I think I remember now.” Mu Ye lowered his eyes and said softly, “I’ve never been here before, and I don’t know you. Sher mistook me for the person in the painting.”

Those silver vertical pupils flashed with a cold light, and suddenly she drew a short sword from behind her waist and slashed at her own feet.

Under the soft moonlight, the splashed transparent blood shimmered with a silvery light.

"Lycia!!" A man's angry roar came from the doorway.

[The Seventh Night, Foot Gouging.]

The Samuro people's practice of cutting off their feet has a special meaning, just as they dislike wearing shoes to restrict their freedom of movement.

Vertical pupils are her true nature, so Mu Yegui's silver vertical pupils represent her most authentic personality.

Little Ye Gui, with her round eyes and adorable cuteness, is someone I could only dream of seeing again, waaaaaah!

Ye Gui's vertical pupils are absolutely explosive!
