Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 372: Sealed Memory

"……Why?"

After a while, Lu Chusheng's voice rang out from inside the room.

What exactly happened back then?

The doctor sighed. "Actually, it's not a big deal. To put it more seriously, it's just that your memory seems to have made you impatient and irritable... Although it's nothing to us, it's different for you, Lu."

As the protagonist tormented by his memories, Lu Chusheng's state at that time could be described as despairing to watch, though this despair was only felt by Lu Chusheng himself.

“Brother Lu,” the doctor looked up at Lu Chusheng and said, “Do you remember how you died?”

"...I remember some."

Lu Chusheng's voice became somewhat hoarse, "A car accident. Feifei and I both died in a car accident—"

Lu Chusheng suddenly paused at this point.

Suddenly, something absurd and something he had been subconsciously ignoring came to mind.

Fatty...fatty—

"Feifei is Laibao, right?" The doctor had a knowing look on his face. He gently stroked the beverage bottle in his hand, his tone inevitably carrying some emotion.

“Brother Lu, you died in a car accident, as did Lai Bao, but Dawn Games never recruits animals as players, so at that time, strong desires prompted your talent skills to materialize.”

"When the talent skills were derived, Laibao appeared as your talent skill, Brother Lu."

This is also why Laibao appears in Dawn Games.

"……I do not remember."

Lu Chusheng's hands clenched tighter and tighter. He closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did I overlook the fact that Fatty is my innate talent..."

Lu Chusheng couldn't finish his last sentence.

He stared at the doctor across from him, who was silently gazing at him, and his heart ached with each beat.

"I shouldn't have overlooked it."

He had just used the power of coexisting with Fei Fei's consciousness not long ago, so why was he so natural and without any thought that he had used his innate skill?

"That's the second thing I want to say."

The doctor waited quietly for Lu Chusheng to finish expressing his doubts before speaking the next sentence.

“A long time ago, Brother Lu, your perception started to go wrong.”

“I don’t know how painful those specific memories were, or perhaps guilt is a more accurate description. As a result, Brother Lu, your mind started to become confused with those memories of death, or perhaps even before death. You started to lose your senses and couldn’t distinguish between the game and the town… It’s like you think you’ve always been in the game.”

In fact, Lu Chusheng's perception is quite normal.

After all, coming from reality to this Dawn Town, which can almost be described as "domesticated human beings," one's consciousness and brain will always feel fear.

Forgetting and suffering are normal.

But if you can't distinguish between games and towns, then it's a serious problem.

"To be honest, I don't really understand what you were thinking back then, Brother Lu."

The doctor sounded tired as he spoke, because he genuinely didn't know.

All I know is that after winning the guild points competition a few years ago, Lu Chusheng, as the player with the most points, received an item.

The props were not revealed.

Lu Chusheng accepted the props by himself.

Later, Lu Chusheng began to lose his sense of direction and became somewhat frantic and erratic, a man who was already cold and aloof.

"After you came out of the game instance for the last time when you were on the verge of death, Brother Lu, you came to me and asked me to seal your memories immediately."

"You know."

The doctor's expression remained gentle. He raised his hand and took off his glasses, revealing a pair of extremely strange eyes.

The doctor had a handsome and refined appearance. After taking off his glasses, his scholarly air dissipated considerably, but he still exuded an indescribable gentle and scholarly charm.

However, those eyes, which should have been pitch black, were now a series of extremely strange, slowly turning, twisting, and rotating black and white vortexes.

“My talent is hypnosis. Although I don’t know why you suddenly asked me to seal your memories, the way you were in that state, as if you could collapse and die at any moment, made it hard for me to refuse, not to mention.”

As the doctor spoke, the swirling eyes that had been constantly moving seemed to shrink slightly.

“Zhou Yuanyang, who was the deputy captain, had already left the inspection team at that time. We cannot, and should not, lose another captain.”

Back then, doctors weren't as capable as they are now; they were just players with decent talent and skills, and relatively good self-regulation abilities.

"..."

Lu Chusheng's mind was still in a state of confusion.

The doctor's words made the pain deep in his heart even more pronounced.

When he looked up again, Lu Chusheng's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his pupils looked cold and blank under the light.

Without exception, they were all venting his current emotional instability.

“It’s related to…Yu Shijiu.”

This time, Lu Chusheng didn't use the word "doubt," but rather "certainty."

"I do not know."

The doctor shook his head, leaned back on the sofa cushion, and sighed.

"Hypnosis can only make you temporarily forget some memories, but those temporarily sealed memories have not disappeared, nor can I see them."

He's not the kind of despicable person who would think about spying on other people's memories anytime, anywhere.

What exactly is Brother Lu thinking?

Honestly, if Brother Lu hadn't made it so obvious, he might not have realized that the memories Brother Lu had sealed away were related to Yu Shijiu...

Lu Chusheng clearly realized what was happening too.

He rubbed his temples, a slight headache in his eyes. "Is that all?"

That makes sense; how could he possibly reveal all his memories to the doctor? It's impossible.

"I really don't know anything else."

The doctor said helplessly, "I'm really just a doctor who hypnotizes Brother Lu so that you won't keep thinking about passively or actively seeking death."

Lu Chusheng fell silent for a moment.

After a while, just as the doctor, whose mouth was dry from talking, opened the beverage bottle and took a sip, Lu Chusheng suddenly spoke.

"Does Zhou Yuanyang know much?"

"puff!"

The doctor spat out his drink, choked and coughed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.

"what?"

The doctor's scholarly air vanished instantly. He stared at Lu Chusheng in disbelief, and exclaimed in shock:

"Brother Lu, what do you mean by that? Could it be..."

A terrifying thought popped into the doctor's mind, and he swallowed hard.

"Could it be that you're planning to go find Deputy Captain Zhou, oh wait, Zhou Yuanyang, to talk about the past?"

Lu Chusheng was silent for a few seconds, then hummed in agreement.

doctor:"……"

"Um," the doctor admitted, admitting he was sweating profusely, and instinctively declined.

"I don't think Vice President Zhou, Zhou Yuanyang, would agree..."
