As it turned out, Lin Xinghe wasn’t wrong.

The uninhabited city was chock full of resources, Principal Wang’s intention likely being to provide all players with various tools to kill.

However, when the entire city wasn’t trying to kill each other, the city’s goods, especially medical resources, became valuable bounty.

The NPCs were full of doctors, poison masters, and even great scientists from the interstellar era who, with all the materials they came up with, concocted a fake death potion in less than half a day.

After taking the potion, one’s vital signs disappeared. Ten minutes later, they recovered on their own.

The drug wasn’t tested, so the next problem was who to take it.

But this was not a problem.

Fu Zhou was happy to be the first guinea pig.

He said before drinking the potion, “I was worried about my IQ for a while, about how I fell for Principal Wang’s trick. I didn’t think Principal Wang needed to comply with the rules of the novel system. Now it seems that the underworld has its own fate, which is to let me come to you as a white lab rat……”

Fu Zhou downed it in one gulp, and then grinned and said, “I believe in your judgment, but the world is unpredictable. Just in case, if something really were to happen, my Leiting would have no master. In my absence, I would trouble you to please take care of him.” His grip on the tube loosened.

When the test tube fell to the ground, Fu Zhou also fell down silently.

The closest person to Fu Zhou, Lan Tai, caught him.

The medicine was handed to Fu Zhou by Lan Tai. After Fu Zhou’s heart stopped beating and his vital signs completely disappeared, the blue crystal under his neck disappeared and appeared on Lan Tai.

The condition of the crystals in the Blood Moon building also changed, but because of the curtain covering it, the Blood Moon building, which should have been in the limelight, now was simply ignored.

People and ghosts nervously stared at Fu Zhou lying flat on the ground.

Only Qi Qing quietly scrutinized Lin Xinghe.

Lin Xinghe naturally also noticed Qi Qing’s eyes and looked up. Qi Qing immediately avoided her gaze. Now, he was acting somewhat like a Qi Qing who remembered things.

She pondered slightly, and with a few steps, she walked up to Qi Qing’s body and stared straight at him openly and honestly.

In less than three seconds, Qi Qing surrendered.

He asked, “Something wrong?”

Lin Xinghe, “Do you want to remember?”

Before Qi Qing could answer, Lin Xinghe added, “Why are you peeking at me?”

Qi Qing’s expression changed slightly.

Lin Xinghe laughed, “Now that everyone is awakening and recovering memories that were cleansed by the system, there is no reason why you can’t remember. Since you remembered, why didn’t you come and talk to us?”

Qi Qing’s gaze was a bit complicated. He seemed to notice that he was too close to Lin Xinghe, took a step or two backward to avoid her gaze, and asked, “Have you seen Xie Wuan?”

Once Lin Xinghe heard that, she knew he had remembered and said, “Not yet, he should be up there.”

She pointed to the sky and told Qi Qing all about climbing the tower and Jiuge.

She added, “…… I remember that you and Xie Wuan were not so familiar, I didn’t expect that the first thing you asked after you recovered your memory was to ask if I had seen Xie Wuan?” She smiled and asked, “Could it be that you knew Brother Xie before in some novel world?”

Lin Xinghe felt that the possibility that Qi Qing had known Xie Wuan before was high. NPCs were often reused in novel worlds, and she had met Xie Wuan in several different worlds, not to mention others.

She had heard Gu Taoyao say that Qi Qing and Xie Wuan entered the school at about the same time.

Perhaps the two had crossed paths before.

Solemly, Qi Qing opened his mouth and said, “I’ve seen you before.”

Lin Xinghe was slightly stunned and asked, “In which world did we cross paths?”

Qi Qing said, “You were the black dragon coiled on the high tower.”

Lin Xinghe had experienced countless fictional worlds, yet she had no impression of a black dragon.

…… She had actually been a black dragon?

She asked, “What are you?”

Qi Qing: “I was that tower.”
