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

Chapter 754, Section 2.8, Chapter 4: The Silver Court

Mu Yin straightened up, no longer paying attention to the 'Beltias' who had disappeared beside him, and instead looked at Beltias standing on the wall not far away.

Behind the clear lenses, those dark golden eyes narrowed slightly. "Bell... Tias?"

Bertias frowned and looked back at Mu Yin. "Are you an idiot? You were fooled by such a simple trick. Are you going to follow him and accuse me of being the imposter next?"

Mu Yin let out a long breath, sneered, crossed his arms, and said, "We're not that familiar with each other, so isn't it normal that you wouldn't recognize me? Besides, do I look like the kind of person who would be used as a pawn without realizing it? Aren't you being too prejudiced against me?"

“Mu Yin, I don’t think it’s a good thing for you to get involved. It was he who agreed to let you join the Strange Phenomenon Club, not me. So, let’s just drop this matter. You go to school, and treat the strange phenomena as a dream, except now that the dream is over.”

After he finished speaking, he jumped off the fence and left.

"Whether you give up or not, it's not like you can tell me where I go." Mu Yin looked at the empty fence and snorted coldly.

He was used to freedom and hated all orders. Only he himself could decide where he went.

"Besides... I didn't say I wanted to get involved, I just wanted to know what was going on."

I went to school as usual, then attended classes, and then get out of class ended.

Such a routine is truly dull and tedious.

Mu Yin leaned against a tree, holding an open book in his hands, his gaze fixed on the playground not far away. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on him.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if they were whispering sweet nothings from the gods.

His fingertips lightly traced the illustrations on the pages, his thoughts drifting off somewhere else.

Suddenly, a person was hanging upside down from the tree.

Mu Yin calmly looked up at the person's legs, which were hooked upside down on the tree branch, then looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Won't you get a stroke hanging upside down like that?"

"Huh?" The man looked bewildered and instinctively straightened up, looking down at Mu Yin sitting under the tree.

"Are you skipping class too?" the person asked.

"also?"

"I misspoke, cough cough, let me repeat myself, are you also contemplating life?" The man sat cross-legged on a tree branch, one hand supporting his chin.

"No," Mu Yin denied. "I'm looking up information; it's too noisy over there."

The man jumped down from the tree, bent down to look at the pictures and words on the pages of the book in Mu Yin's hand, and pondered, "The history of puppets?"

"you saw it?"

“I saw this book in the library. Well, how should I put it? It has a kind of feeling that's different from other plain books. Every time I pass by, I can't help but take a few more glances at it.” The man stroked his chin and said slowly.

Mu Yin asked calmly, "But even though you've passed by it all the time, you've never taken it, is that what you mean?"

"So we've been found out," the man laughed.

Mu Yin sighed softly, "I mean, would a normal person be this overly familiar? We clearly don't know each other, so why did we have to pretend to be so close and talk for so long?"

"Maybe it's because I'm bored." The woman sat down cross-legged, her skirt covering her legs.

"When you're bored, you can talk to friends to pass the time, instead of strangers."

"But I wanted to find Bell, but it turns out he took the day off." Bell? Bellias?
Mu Yin thought for a moment, then slammed the book shut and stood up.

"Should we go to his house to find him?"

"No, he's definitely not home right now," the man shook his head and refused.

"Oh, so where did he go?"

"Who knows? Maybe I stayed up all night working yesterday."

"Worked yesterday... and still up until now?" Mu Yin felt like he had grasped something, but he couldn't connect it to anything.

What exactly did he overlook?

That said, is the strange phenomenon we encountered last night really over?
and many more!

How did yesterday end?
Why can't he remember?
Does it really have an end?
Behind the transparent lenses, his dark golden eyes narrowed slightly.

His memory seemed to have been replaced at some point.

This place may seem like everyday life, but it's actually still shrouded in strange phenomena.

"Could you tell me more about Bell's statement about working until now yesterday?" Mu Yin asked coldly.

The man paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Have I been discovered?"

"I have no memory of when the strange phenomenon ended," Mu Yin said bluntly.

"That can't be helped. After all, it hasn't ended; it's just been replaced."

The man smiled at Mu Yin. "My name is Cang Shi, a member of the Strange Phenomenon Society's combat team. What's your name?"

"Mu Yin".

"What does this replacement mean?"

"What if I said that the so-called strange phenomena are the other side of the world we live in?"

“Beltias mentioned something similar.”

"In that case, let me tell you in more detail. No one has been able to investigate why the strange phenomenon exists, how long it has existed, or how it was formed. There is very little information about it, but one thing we are clear about is that it is dangerous."

"It feeds on life and hunts consciously to expand its territory. The more it eats, the stronger it becomes, the larger its territory becomes, and the more dangerous it becomes. It is deceptive; only people with certain qualifications can remain clear-headed amidst the strange phenomena. Ordinary people who get close will be completely bewitched until they are eaten or rescued."

"The world of strange phenomena is like a jigsaw puzzle. One strange phenomenon after another is pieced together to form a world of strange phenomena, and those strange phenomena will continue to expand themselves because of food. New strange phenomena are also slowly born. Once they mature, they will be pieced together. However, once they are pieced together, the process of eliminating the strange phenomena becomes extremely complicated. There will be an interaction between the pieced-together strange phenomena. It's not just about changing the map, but also about changing the location. It's like a Rubik's Cube that can change positions."

“Last night, Bell and I noticed the birth of a new anomaly and have been tracking its core, but we were discovered before we could attack it. Then it merged with the anomaly world, and now we are in another anomaly. Because at the moment of merging, it swapped positions with another anomaly,” Cang Shi said, frowning as he pondered.

“Alternating moments of memory can cause distortion. If I hadn’t been carrying a blocker, I think I would have forgotten like you. But you’re quite gifted and actually remembered.”

"What is the core?" Mu Yin asked.

"You can think of it as the heart of the monster; eliminating the core is equivalent to completely eliminating the monster."

"Any other questions? If not, we should head over to meet up with Bertias. I think he should have found the core by now."

Happy New Year! !
