"It killed me four times?!" Chen Yao said in surprise.

"Keep your voice down!" Fang Yu tried to cover his mouth, "I don't know who this NPC is yet, be careful that walls have ears."

"It's been four times and you still don't know who it is?"

"I don't know, I'm not there every time you are killed." Fang Yu looked into his eyes, "So this time, I will be with you all the time."

Chen Yao was stunned, no wonder he said to himself "don't run around" before taking a bath... and when he searched for evidence before, he dragged himself to act with him.

Suddenly, he thought of something, "No, when you were by the lake, didn't you throw me down?"

Fang Yu knew what time he was talking about. He was about to regret it to death. He would never forget how he felt when he came back and saw Chen Yao and Yao Sheng collapsed by the lake, "I was also helpless at the time. There must be one of us to call someone. If you go, you don’t know who you will meet, but if you stay, then Yao Sheng is the only option. So I also took a gamble at the time, if the game was reset , the person who killed you is Yao Sheng."

"Are you using me as bait?" He sounded a little annoyed, but indeed, this was the best way.

"Don't be angry, there is another consideration for me to do this, that is, in the previous few times, you were not in an accident at this time, and the time of your accident was basically after collecting evidence." Fang Yu explained.

"Okay, what happened to the previous four times?" Chen Yao asked.

Fang Yu shook his head, "I said it was four times, but in fact I only experienced it with you three times, and now it's only the fourth time. But I don't know how many times you died before I entered the system, so what I said is' At least'." He continued, "The reason why I entered the system is because we have monitored from the outside world that your game is constantly being reset."

"Reset?"

"Yes, because according to the normal development, in this game, the player will not die, but due to a bug, the player was killed by an NPC, and the system reset the game to start everything again." Fang Yu Said, "When you enter the game for the first time, the system will definitely tell you the corresponding rules. So I speculate that your memory should be erased when the system is reset."

"Then...after the reset, will the NPC's memory be retained?"

"Probably not, the system is reset because it wants to fix this bug. But obviously, no matter how many times it resets, this NPC will awaken self-awareness at a certain point in the game, and then find the real player , that is, you, and kill you." Fang Yu continued, "Of course, this is all my speculation. The reason for this guess is that if it retains the previous memory, it should Killed you when the game started, but it didn't."

"So, it doesn't know how to really replace me, does it?" Chen Yao asked.

"What it does is its own idea, and there is no rule that NPC can replace the player. I think it is actually trying, but the system is constantly resetting. It doesn't know that it has failed, so it keeps trying every time. Do the same thing - kill you."

"Then why do you know what happened before?"

"Because I'm not a character in the game, it's because your game is stuck in a loop. If I don't come and find this bug, you will be trapped in this game forever." Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "So, I'm actually your savior, thank you soon."

Chen Yao couldn't help rolling his eyes at him, "Come on, if you really played the role of a savior, how can I go this far?"

"Stop!" As soon as Fang Yu mentioned this, he had something to say, "You don't know how uncomfortable I was a few times before, and you don't know the mechanism of this game at all, you can't understand my difficulties!"

"Okay, then tell me how you did it a few times ago." Chen Yao picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, as if listening attentively.

"Okay." Fang Yu reached out and snatched Chen Yao's cup and took a sip, then ignored the other person's eyes that wanted to kill someone and continued, "After I entered the system, I appeared in that car. Wakes you up when you sleep on the drive. At first I didn't know you had amnesia, so I just asked what happened to you, why the game reset. But you don't know anything, listen to me, immediately Suspicious of me... Afterwards, simply put, you don't believe what I say, and you are determined not to appear on the same screen as me, and you frequently point the finger at me when you are still behind. I wanted to log out immediately, so that you Forget about being stuck here for the rest of your life! But my good professional ethics told me that I couldn’t do this, so I bit the bullet and spent it with you. This time, there was no so-called murderer. Wen Yaoyang turned against the housekeeper when he went to commit murder at night. killed."

"Been killed?" Chen Yao was surprised, "Wen Yaoyang's state can kill the housekeeper?"

"Wen Yaoyang has already discovered that Wang Yigang and Yin Ping are Wang Xuan's parents. He has long been wary of these two people. I don't know how he found out that their husband and wife are going to fight tonight. Anyway, the housekeeper When he sneaked into his room, he pretended to have eaten sweet-scented osmanthus cake and fainted, and when the opponent made a move, he stabbed him to death with a fruit knife hidden in his sleeve."

"Then why is Zhang Bo the murderer this time?" Chen Yao was confused.

"You know the butterfly effect, right? Every small change may affect the outcome of the entire case." As he spoke, Fang Yu glanced at the other party, "We are the ones who made the case change."

"What do you mean?"

"You kicked me out after you became suspicious of me that night. I had nowhere to go, so I wandered in the corridor and happened to meet Zhang Bo who was going upstairs. He was also surprised when he saw me. I asked him what he was doing, and he said He came up to the gym to work out, and then I worked out with him. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I know that he was going upstairs to kill someone, but I bumped into him, so I had to change his words I went to the gym, and because I followed him all the time, he didn't have time to act." Fang Yu continued, "We stayed until almost twelve o'clock before we parted. He probably planned to act later, but he was caught The butler was locked in the room and couldn’t get out. That time, it was Yao Sheng who finally let us out of the room, because he was the only one who wasn’t locked.”

Chen Yao broke into a cold sweat when he heard that, no wonder they have gone through so many cycles, you really can't predict what will change next time.

"But according to my observation, what happened before they did it, at least has not changed."

"Oh?" Chen Yao suddenly realized, "So there is no coincidence at all, you just knew that Yao Sheng would ask me about taking a shower at that time."

Fang Yu nodded and admitted, "Yes, but it's not entirely because of this."

"Huh?" Chen Yao was puzzled.

"Last time, that is, in the third cycle, you managed to trust me a little bit, but..." Fang Yu said awkwardly, "You asked me what you did before, but I don't know, just Made it up, and then you looked at your phone while charging. Not long after, you suddenly became hostile to me, and our relationship went back to "before liberation overnight". I don't know if you watched it from your phone What happened, so this time I have to find a way to send you away, to see what is in your mobile phone before you. By the way, I will save my mobile phone number and put it on the top, so as to increase my credibility."

"Pfft." Chen Yao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Now I know. You know you are a writer by seeing the things on your phone, and the ones I made up have nothing to do with writers. No wonder you suddenly doubt me."

"I wondered why the phone suddenly had power. It turned out to be you who charged it."

Fang Yu nodded and said, "Actually, you were quite right to question that night. I knew all about it in advance, so I secretly reminded you. But you are too smart and quickly realized the problem. I don't want to confront you again, so at that time I just pretended to lose my temper before you."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, do you still remember the last night you coaxed me?"

"Well, what happened?"

"You said you called me by my name as soon as you saw me. At that time, I sat up from the bed after hearing you say this, and you asked me what's wrong. Do you remember?" Fang Yu asked.

"Remember, what happened?"

"That's when I knew your memory was messed up."

"Huh?" Chen Yao asked in surprise.

"Because you were talking about what happened during the second cycle, but this time, I got into the car directly, and I told you that my name is Fang Yu and your name is Chen Yao."

Chen Yao was stunned, he had these two memories, and they were always reminded of him, he couldn't even tell which one was the one he experienced right now.

But now he separates.

The current memory that Fang Yu mentioned, he remembered when searching for evidence. It was when he found out that the girl he saw in his dream was Yin Ping's daughter. He had a memory after waking up from the dream.What he remembered at that time was exactly the same as what Fang Yu had just said!
