PFC Chapter 507 Sand Sea 1
Chapter 507 Sand Sea 1
Zhong Ning was awakened by the heat; she felt as if her whole body had been exposed to the scorching sun outdoors.
Her body even craved water so badly that she swallowed instinctively, and a sharp dryness and pain shot through her throat, along with a tearing pain in her lips, making her frown and try to open her eyes.
The light was so bright that she squinted for a while before turning her head to see the scene clearly.
The endless desert was so vast that it made one feel dizzy; it seemed as if even a gust of wind could stir up considerable waves of sand.
Under the sunlight, the sand grains shimmered with dazzling light, like a golden ocean.
But Zhong Ning had no time to appreciate it at the moment. She used her spiritual power to circulate through her weak body before sitting up, taking out a bottle of ice-cold mineral water from her space, and drinking it all in one gulp.
Fortunately, while she was stockpiling goods, she also collected a lot of odds and ends.
Sometimes when I go to a convenience store to buy snacks and water, if I can't finish them or buy too much, I'll just put them in my storage space.
Because it was taken out of the refrigerator and put into the space not long after, it's still just as cold now.
After relieving her physical condition, Zhong Ning entered the space. She had been so eager to drink water that she had forgotten to enter the space first.
Xiao Qi sat down next to her and asked, "Host, can I transfer memories now?"
"Wait a minute, no rush."
She was all alone in the desert at the moment, and she could talk about her memories later, because she felt that something was wrong with this body.
"Ok."
Zhong Ning waved her hand and conjured a mirror. She sat on the sofa in the system space and looked at her current appearance.
She had a pale face with striking features and a beautiful appearance, but her expression was listless. This was a result of the original owner's daily habit of displaying this demeanor when she was relaxed.
Upon closer inspection, there were still some sunburn marks on her face, which she had just relieved with her spiritual power and was slowly recovering.
She guessed that the original owner probably didn't go out much, because her skin was obviously an unnatural white due to lack of sunlight.
Her thin figure suggests she doesn't have a good appetite. She was bundled up in a black long-sleeved jacket over a matching black T-shirt and black trousers.
In such a hot desert, the original owner was wearing all black, which absorbed a lot of heat and made him feel very comfortable.
Either the original owner was a reclusive woman who didn't like going out and was somewhat dull and closed off.
It could be a health issue; she doesn't seem to have any problems, so she probably stays at home a lot.
Most importantly, she sensed the lingering emotions within the original owner of the body, including a strong sense of world-weariness that made her feel unwell.
Zhong Ning tried to suppress this intense emotion, but found that she couldn't.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with this body?" This was the first time she had encountered a situation where the original owner's soul had left, but the body still retained the original emotions, and she couldn't change them.
Xiao Qi: "Host, please receive the plot and memories first, and I will talk to you later."
The reason must lie in her memory. Zhong Ning leaned back on the sofa and nodded: "Okay, go ahead and send it!"
Through her memories, she learned that the world she had come to was the world of the TV series "Sand Sea," which could also be considered a sequel to "Ultimate Notes."
The plot mainly tells the story of a series of plans devised by the protagonist Wu Xie to fight against the Wang family's power that controls the Nine Gates, and unfolds mainly with another protagonist, high school student Li Cu, as the main thread.
The original owner of this body was named Zhang Chuzhen. She only knew her own name and had only twenty years of memories in her mind.
Moreover, she looked exactly the same twenty years ago as she does now; she hasn't changed at all.
The original owner discovered that he was different from others, so he didn't like to interact with people and would not go out unless necessary.
Even because her appearance hasn't changed at all in twenty years, she doesn't stay in one place for too long, for fear that others will notice something is wrong with her and cause trouble.
She doesn't know who her parents are, what she experienced in her lost memories, or even her age.
She had also gone to the hospital for a checkup, but unfortunately no problems were found.
Because she had a lot of money in her bank account, she didn't have to worry about making a living. However, the emptiness and loneliness in her heart made her feel that nothing was enjoyable.
Even though she moved around frequently and saw many sights, she still found life boring. When she became so world-weary, she began to think about giving up on life.
Before coming to the desert, she had been staying at home for several years. She came here just to find a place where no one was around. She didn't care whether she lived or died in the end.
Zhong Ning, who is now Zhang Chuzhen, opened her eyes and felt a little confused by this memory.
She suppressed the urge within her to not want to ask about anything and to have no interest in anything, and spoke:
"Xiao Qi, it's your turn to fill in the details. What's the original owner's situation? Was she a member of the Zhang family?"
The fact that Changsheng had the surname Zhang made her unable to help but make this guess.
Xiao Qi: "Host, you guessed right. Zhang Chuzhen's parents were a branch of the Zhang family in Northeast China. She was born when her parents died in an accident and she was lost and not found. Therefore, she did not receive the education and training of the Zhang family, nor does she have tattoos."
"How old was the original owner this year? And why can't I suppress that world-weary feeling in my body now?"
"You're about ninety years old, host. The original owner's world-weariness was too severe, which is why it lingers in your body. For now, you can only wait for it to dissipate on its own."
Zhang Chuzhen has accepted the issue of age well, but she can't control her emotions for now, so she'll just have to wait.
What she cared about more was the amnesia: "Then why did the original owner have memories? She wasn't Zhang Qiling."
Xiao Qi looked at the information she had researched, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This body is quite special; it will lose its memory once every twenty-five years."
"Twenty-five years? Doesn't that mean I'll lose my memory in five years?"
"Hehe, host, you guessed right."
Zhang Chuzhen disliked the feeling of amnesia: "Am I guessing? What a load of rubbish! You said it's twenty-five years. I can cure my amnesia myself, right?"
Xiao Qi was a little guilty: "Host, this doesn't seem to work. This body isn't normal. I checked your body and found that your previous memories weren't stored."
"That's strange? But if I lose my memory, I'll be in a very passive position. Find me a solution."
Xiao Qi was a little conflicted; this request seemed unreasonable: "Host..."
Zhang Chuzhen squinted and interrupted it, "You don't want me to forget you, do you?"
Xiao Qi thought about it and realized it made sense. It had gotten used to its host's presence: "Alright, then I'll store your memories from when you entered the plane, and I'll transfer them to you when you lose your memory."
"That's a good idea. Are there any side quests?"
"Yes, the side quest involves following the main characters into the ancient city of Gutongjing to collect special energy, and finally sealing off the entrance completely."
