PFC Chapter 140 Boomerang
Chapter 140 Boomerang
How many things did you remember?
"That's all," Mu Yuanming said.
“I remember when we met when we were little, and I remember you telling me that your parents also believed in a god… Jia Ye.”
Even though he had already guessed that the five people in their group were probably more or less related to Jia Ye, Yan Xun was still speechless when the boomerang hit him.
Things that are not explained in the game, and hidden memories, are generally related to the truth of the game.
On a variety show, he said his parents died in a car accident, but since he's linked to Jia Ye, it's obviously not the truth.
Mu Yuanming paused for a moment, and seeing that Yan Xun had no reaction to these words, he realized that he had indeed forgotten them, and felt even more resentful.
He thought that he was the only one clinging to the past, while Yan Xun had long forgotten about it and made new friends.
Although Yan Xun couldn't read Mu Yuanming's mind, he could tell from the man's obviously depressed mood that he was probably harboring dark thoughts.
Yan Xun: "..."
Can any of his teammates be considered normal?
Yan Xun pondered for a moment, but still spoke up, "I've forgotten a lot of things."
"I've basically forgotten everything that happened when I was a child."
“Even the story of my parents’ death in a car accident was told by Song Baiyuan.”
Upon hearing this, the dark thoughts surging within Mu Yuanming ceased...
He recalled everything he had found about Yan Xun online.
After he debuted, some people who knew him or had met him online revealed that Yan Xun used to seem dull and stupid, as if he wasn't very smart. But after becoming a star, he seemed smarter and more intelligent—it must be an act, a persona created by the company.
Song Baiyuan probably sensed the trend on the internet, and after a while he bribed so-called marketing accounts and then revealed the information as an insider.
It is said that Yan Xun suffered severe psychological trauma because he witnessed his parents die in a car accident when he was a child. It took him a long time to recover, which is why he used to seem dull and silly.
This reason is both plausible and elicits sympathy, and it is almost universally acknowledged as a fact and truth within the fan community.
Mu Yuanming had naturally seen this explanation as well.
Hearing Yan Xun say that, although the dark water in her heart had not completely dissipated, she felt much better... She felt that it was good that Yan Xun hadn't just forgotten her, but as she thought about it, the dark water was about to overflow again.
Although Yan Xun didn't just forget himself, why did he have to forget himself?
Unfortunately, Yan Xun couldn't read Mu Yuanming's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely be thinking to himself that this person was even harder to win over than the game characters they had played before.
That's what he thought, but Mu Yuanming knew that his thoughts were a bit abnormal, so on the surface he still pretended to be understanding and even comforted Yan Xun a few times, "Fortunately, we met again after we grew up."
Mu Yuanming said, "Let bygones be bygones."
He spoke magnanimously, but deep down he was gritting his teeth and swallowing his anger.
Yan Xun thought to himself, how could he forget? He still needs to find out the truth behind the dungeon!
So he spoke again, "No, I'm sure I'll remember."
He looked at Mu Yuanming, "Can we think about it together?"
Mu Yuanming was unaware that Yan Xun was a "scroll king" who would use every ounce of his strength to complete missions and earn points.
He was deeply moved upon hearing this, feeling that Yan Xun truly cared for him—the darkness in Mu Yuanming's heart had been completely purified, transforming from pitch black to clear and pure—if the darkness in Mu Yuanming's heart were truly a pond, Yan Xun could probably become an environmental ambassador.
“Okay,” Mu Yuanming said softly, “We can think about it together.”
……
That night, Yan Xun had a dream.
Perhaps because his conversation with Mu Yuanming touched on crucial information, the copy finally revealed some clues to him.
He saw himself traveling with Song Baiyuan to a place, but Song Baiyuan came here not simply because the scenery was beautiful.
Song Baiyuan held Yan Xun in his arms and said, "I heard there's a golden boy under the tutelage of the Bodhisattva Fairy here."
"To be able to know the past, present and future."
He carried Yan Xun as they walked along a mountain path. The person in front of them, probably their guide, immediately turned around with a fawning smile upon hearing Song Baiyuan's words.
"Of course, the Fairy Bodhi is efficacious."
He walked up to Song Baiyuan and whispered, "No matter what it is, He can tell at a glance."
From Yan Xun's perspective, Song Baiyuan looked very tired and worried. Perhaps noticing his gaze, Song Baiyuan looked down at him and asked, "Tired?"
Yan Xun shook his head. He was being held by Song Baiyuan, so how could he be tired?
In his memory, Yan Xun in the photo was already quite old, so it was remarkable that Song Baiyuan could still hold him for so long.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yan Xun was put down when Song Baiyuan was truly exhausted. Song Baiyuan held his hand, seemingly worried that he might accidentally get lost, and dared not let go for even a moment.
There were no houses in sight, and the sky was gradually darkening, leaving only the guide in front of them.
In his dream, Song Baiyuan was somewhat wary.
He seemed to be wary of something... Fortunately, the villa finally came into view.
It was the very haunted house of the Chi family that Yan Xun had searched for.
Upon arriving at the villa, the guide whispered a few words to Yan Xun, who then saw a young man standing at the door.
Yan Xun recognized him as the eldest son of the Chi family.
He led Song Baiyuan and his companion into the villa, and soon they arrived at an empty room.
On a raised platform, behind which is a portrait of the Bodhisattva Fairy, in front of which is a lotus platform and a boy dressed in extremely elaborate clothes.
He half-closed his eyes and did not look at the believers below the stage.
The room was filled with drowsy incense and dim lighting. Soon, two more of Yan Xun's acquaintances appeared.
It was Chi's parents.
They muttered something and then invited the fairy Bodhisattva to descend.
The boy on the lotus platform closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his parents were already prostrate on the ground.
The people in the audience followed suit and made similar gestures.
Even though the person on stage was wearing layers of clothing and half of their face was covered, Yan Xun still recognized them as Mu Yuanming.
Then Yan Xun saw the eldest daughter of the Chi family, who brought over steel needles...
With quick reflexes, Chi's father pierced Mu Yuanming's body with steel needles in a few swift movements, one of which pierced through his cheek.
However, Mu Yuanming on the stage was extremely calm, whether it was because the arrival of the Bodhisattva Fairy had truly eliminated his sense of pain, or because he was used to it.
In his dream, he was probably frightened by this scene and quietly hid behind Song Baiyuan.
Even from a distance, Yan Xun still felt that Mu Yuanming in her dream glanced at her.
Then it was Song Baiyuan's turn to take Yan Xun to ask the Fairy Bodhi.
Song Baiyuan cut to the chase, "Can you see the problem with my nephew?"
