Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 637 Memory Puzzle

Looking at the escorts who were frantically trying to recall which two companions were missing, Li Nian and Lin Yu sighed in unison.

"They probably can't remember."

Li Nian said helplessly.

Lin Yu agreed - if these people could remember, they would have remembered it long ago.

There is no doubt that the memories or cognition of these bodyguards have been modified.

However, what Lin Yu cares about is...

how did you do that?

Although many demons in the Prison Mountain Realm possessed this ability and could easily accomplish this, Lin Yu, who had personally experienced Old Zheng's spiritual power, knew very well that being able to cause more than 30 people to fall into chaos and two people to disappear without anyone noticing in front of Old Zheng...

Moreover, even if we investigate again now, we still can’t find any problems!

Lin Yu recalled carefully and was able to recall two vague figures and faces - this proved that there was no problem with his memory.

Li Nian standing by didn't seem to be affected either.

Does the other party lack the confidence to change his and Li Nian’s memories, or does he simply not want to do so for some reason?

No matter what, it is difficult for a guy with this level of mental power to exist in this Prison Mountain Realm, which is not known for its "soul-related" abilities.

But if this really happened, there are two possibilities.

The first possibility is that this is achieved through other means, not by interfering with cognition and memory with mental abilities.

After all, many of the talismans and magic techniques in the Prison Mountain Realm are extremely strange. There may be means to make people "forget" without affecting the soul and spirit.

Another possibility…

That is, there is indeed a person here whose mental power is far superior to Lao Zheng, or at least far superior to the incomplete Lao Zheng.

If it's the latter...

"Could it be another player?"

"Impossible," Lao Zheng immediately denied Lin Yu's idea, "It's absolutely impossible that another player did it."

Lao Zheng said this, and then added.

"I'm not saying this out of self-confidence or anything like that. It's just... Boss, if this is truly the work of other players, then how do we explain the 'anomaly' in Chenjiabao? It's clear there's been a problem here for a while."

Lin Yu nodded.

Indeed, it is not difficult to conclude from Yue Zhenqiao’s previous remarks that the “unexplained disappearances” in Chenjiabao have been going on for more than a day or two.

Those residents of Chenjiabao who appear to be alive but are not actually alive are probably not newcomers, but have existed for a long time.

According to the principle of "do not add entities unless necessary", in the absence of evidence showing that this "disappearance of the escort" is not a "special case" and anomaly with a completely different origin from the anomalies that have frequently occurred in Chenjiabao in the past, then it is best to regard it as a manifestation of the anomalies that have always existed in Chenjiabao.

If that's the case, then the cause definitely can't be "other players"—at least not the remaining three players who haven't appeared in this [copy].

Lin Yu thought quickly, the scene was becoming more and more chaotic.

There were even disputes among the escorts!

"Captain Yue, we've encountered something strange about Chen Family Fort. We'd better leave as soon as possible—noon is over, we'll set off immediately!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We in the Jinfu Escort Company are all brothers. Are you going to leave us two brothers in this situation?"

"Will staying here be of any use?!"

"Yeah, I don't even remember them!"

"You heartless bastards, if it were you who disappeared today, wouldn't we just give up on you guys?"

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"At least we need to negotiate with the people from Chenjiabao..."

"Perhaps it's the people from the Chen Family Fort who are behind this. If you're really worried about your colleagues, you should leave quickly and ask some masters from a larger martial arts school to investigate."

"Those people have checked many times, and I've never heard of anything they found!"

"Those masters and Taoist priests can't do it, so how can we do it?"

The escorts were arguing with each other, but Yue Zhenqiao, who was panicked at first, now remained calm.

His face was ashen as he sat on a stone chair and slammed the stone table with his hand.

"Oh!"

A loud noise interrupted the discussion in the room.

Yue Zhenqiao said in a deep voice: "Enough, stop arguing. Two colleagues are missing, we can't just abandon them like this!"

"But we can't let more brothers go in because of them. If there's still no clue before nightfall, we'll assume they died at the hands of the demons and take good care of their families after they leave. By then, it will be clear who's missing."

Yue Zhenqiao said in a cold voice and offered a compromise solution.

This is also the best solution at present.

Although a few of the escorts seemed to disagree, they did not disobey Yue Zhenqiao.

"Understood, Chief Escort."

Yue Zhenqiao nodded, and then gave more specific instructions.

"Since no one can recall the missing person's name, we don't need to try too hard. Wait until a little after noon. A few of the uninjured and skilled warriors will follow me and search Chenjiabao along the way we came. We'll see if there are any signs of our missing colleagues, or any new signs of fighting or dragging."

Yue Zhenqiao said, looking at Lin Yu and Li Nian: "Two ladies, please forgive me for being so presumptuous... do you have any ideas?"

He asked respectfully.

Lin Yu looked at Yue Zhenqiao in surprise.

This Yue Escort is indeed a veteran in this world. Although his martial arts skills are limited and he was a little panicked when he encountered the incident just now, his rich experience still allowed him to calm down quickly.

Moreover, the arrangements made were also well organized - especially now, he even knew to come and ask himself and Li Nian with a serious face.

And Lin Yu does have some solutions.

Since Yue Zhenqiao asked at this time, Lin Yu was naturally happy to speak up.

"Your arrangement is good...but during the time when you can freely go out and about, I think everyone should be more active."

"Then take out all your personal belongings and think carefully about what you did and said throughout the day."

"Everyone in the escort team performs their duties and cooperates seamlessly, which will inevitably leave behind various 'reality traces'. After the disappearance of a colleague you worked with day and night, even if there is a problem with your memory, your memory will definitely be 'abnormal'."

"Some people can't remember or are vague about certain things, and some links feel like they're missing people or things. By piecing together everyone's memories, even if we can't remember the specific names of the missing people, we can still outline their general responsibilities, strengths, and personalities, and know who they were close to."

"It's like a mirror that breaks and loses two pieces. If you put all the remaining pieces together, you will naturally know what the missing pieces look like."
