“Zhichun…” Jiang Ruoxue stopped in her tracks and looked at Yan Zhichun, feeling that the other person’s conviction was wavering. “Are you alright? Are you too tired…?”

“I’m fine… it’s just…” Yan Zhichun paused. She clearly remembered that Jiang Ruoxue had just been at her right rear, yet had now become her left front. “It’s just that a very familiar feeling has appeared…”

This was a feeling that only appeared when Baiyang was in chaos.

Chu Tianqiu and Qin Dingdong stayed together, and both of them felt equally disoriented.

Not long after following Earth-Mouse, they felt Earth-Mouse’s position beginning to change, as if he had teleported a short distance.

When Chu Tianqiu turned his head again, he felt that the position of the wounds on Zhang Shan’s body had also shifted.

Qin Dingdong wasn’t sure if this was her own illusion and could only ask tentatively: “Chu Tianqiu… do you feel something’s wrong?”

“I…”

Chu Tianqiu and Qin Dingdong opened their eyes and looked at the scene before them again. Sure enough, after a moment it began to restore itself, becoming the same as it had been a few seconds ago.

It was as if the two had experienced a bizarre journey during those few seconds. In that journey, everything had slight differences from how it was now, yet now everything seemed as if it had never happened.

“I don’t know…” Chu Tianqiu said with a furrowed brow.

He had encountered this kind of sensation before, but never as intensely as today.

He only felt that he was very close to the center of a storm, to the point where even his memories were being affected by something.

“Baiyang…” Qi Xia struggled to control his thoughts and spoke. “Stop beautifying yourself… those people… didn’t you kill them?”

“Oh?” Baiyang shrugged noncommittally. “Did I?”

Baiyang stared into Qi Xia’s eyes for a long while, then smiled and said: “It seems you’ve once again preserved your last shred of rationality.”

“I can’t go mad… if I go mad… the consequences would be too severe.” Qi Xia said with a furrowed brow. “I still need those three…”

“The three people who have preserved their memories the longest… right?” Baiyang countered.

“Yes…” Qi Xia said while rubbing his forehead. “You should also know… everyone who has boarded now… what they have in their minds…”

“They have the entire past of the ‘Land of the End,'” Baiyang said, looking toward the door. “Even Qian Wu has already boarded. Combined with those thousands of scattered ‘Participants,’ these people’s memories encompass the entire history of the ‘Land of the End.'”

“Right.” Qi Xia raised his head and said, “With these people’s memories, I can take everyone from the ‘Land of the End’ with me…”

“Will there be no omissions?” Baiyang asked.

“Omissions…” Qi Xia narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. “There won’t be.”

“What about An?” Baiyang asked. “Who will take her with them?”

“An…”

Qi Xia’s expression gradually changed. The next instant, his head split with pain. He lowered his head, grabbed his hair, and began to groan.

He felt that his brain was always divided into two parts. One part possessed unmatched rationality, while the other carried fanciful emotions. Now these two parts were forcefully merging.

“Because you can’t leave,” Baiyang said. “You can’t leave… and in whose memories does she exist?”

“Wait a moment…” Qi Xia grabbed his hair and said softly, “We can’t discuss this topic now…”

Yan Zhichun, who had just come back to her senses, felt her brain sink, and she nearly fell over.

Seeing the situation was bad, Jiang Ruoxue reached out to pull her, but in a moment of disorientation, she saw Yan Zhichun disappear from before her eyes and appear at her side.

“Ruoxue, what’s wrong?” Yan Zhichun at her side asked.

“Ah?”

While reaching out her hand, Jiang Ruoxue turned her head, only to discover that Yan Zhichun at her side had disappeared. The Yan Zhichun before her eyes was about to fall to the ground, fortunately caught by her outstretched hand.

This disorienting feeling made Jiang Ruoxue uncertain whether she herself had gone mad.

“I… I’m fine…” Yan Zhichun shook her head and said, “I spaced out a bit… it’s an old problem…”

“What kind of old problem is this?” Jiang Ruoxue looked with some lingering fear in the direction where Yan Zhichun had just appeared and asked, “How come I’ve never heard you mention it?”

“I… forget it.” Yan Zhichun shook her head. “There’s nothing worth saying.”

Jiang Ruoxue felt that Yan Zhichun seemed somewhat chaotic now, yet it wasn’t mental chaos, but rather more like a kind of…

Chaos in time and space.

At this moment, Chu Tianqiu was also leaning against the wall, while Zhang Shan at his side looked at him anxiously.

“What the… Tianqiu, what’s wrong with you?” Zhang Shan asked with a confused expression. “You’ve been acting strange since earlier…”

As Zhang Shan was speaking, he suddenly noticed Chu Tianqiu’s appearance change. His eyes became gentle and refined, and a smile hung on his face.

This appearance was just like when he had first met him at “Heaven’s Mouth.”

But in the blink of an eye, Chu Tianqiu’s eyes turned blood-red again, and some of his murderous aura returned.

“I’m fine… go check on Qin Dingdong…” Chu Tianqiu shook his forehead and said, “I can still hold on…”

“Qin…” Zhang Shan turned his head and looked at the girl who had come up with him. “Are you alright?”

Qin Dingdong’s complexion was somewhat pale. She paused, then raised her head wanting to say something, but her expression instantly gained some color.

“I’m fine.”

Now it was Zhang Shan’s turn to be unable to understand.

What exactly had happened to these two?

Not far away, Earth-Mouse saw the two showing abnormalities and couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, narrowing his eyes as he contemplated the situation.

Clearly no enemies had appeared… yet these two seemed as if their convictions had been impacted… what was going on?

“Chu Tianqiu…” Qin Dingdong asked through gritted teeth, “Is this feeling really correct?”

Only now did Chu Tianqiu gradually realize how absurd the situation was. The people and scenery before him kept changing. How should he describe this abstract feeling…

“It’s as if these things have happened once before…” Chu Tianqiu murmured. “And our memories have become confused with the memories from that time…”

“Ah…?” Qin Dingdong was stunned.

“It’s as if… I’ve been to this place before in a dream…” Chu Tianqiu reached out to touch the wall. “It’s just that the circumstances in the dream differ somewhat from the current circumstances… and now my brain is choosing which one to believe.”

“What the… I’m getting more and more confused…” Zhang Shan murmured. “Are you two just sleepwalking for no reason…?”

“I can’t say for sure…” Qin Dingdong said. “But Chu Tianqiu’s description just now was extremely apt. He expressed what I’m experiencing in just one sentence. I also feel like I’ve been here before, but I completely don’t remember this happening…”
