Chapter 1868: Chapter 977: Amnesia

Countdown 08:00:00.

Suddenly, light spilled out in the dim safe house.

Black Spider and Yi quietly watched. Qing Chen had been in a coma for only six days, but it felt particularly torturous for them.

During this time, Qing Chen didn’t breathe, and there was no heartbeat. If not for the warmth from his body, they would have thought he was truly dead.

Now, Qing Chen’s condition had changed, and any change was a good sign.

In the next moment, a heartbeat sounded inside the safe house, strong, powerful, and rhythmic.

Black Spider whispered, "The boss might be waking up!"

Qing Chen’s eyelids twitched until he opened his eyes.

Black Spider suddenly felt as if she couldn’t sense Qing Chen anymore, as if he had disappeared from this world.

Even as Qing Chen stared at her, her sixth sense was of no use!

Black Spider approached, "Boss, are you alright?"

Qing Chen looked at Black Spider seriously, "Mm, I’m alright."

His gaze was cautious, like when he first arrived at Prison No. 18.

Like a beast entering new territory, silently surveying everything.

To be exact, his memory hadn’t completely disappeared.

Because he needed to sever the ties with the Inner World’s will, he sealed away all spiritual and mental connections related to the Inner World, but unlike Ren Xiaosu... he had memories of both worlds.

To Qing Chen, it all seemed to have returned to a few months ago.

He had just reported his father’s gambling at the end of the Qi Li River Bridge neighborhood, prepared himself for the countdown to reach zero, and then transmigrated here...

It was from that moment that he started interacting with the Inner World’s will; all subsequent memories disappeared, but the past ones remained.

He was still that 17-year-old high school student who hadn’t seen the world.

So, in Qing Chen’s perception, this was his first time transmigrating... Would he transmigrate to such a strange world after the countdown reached zero?

Qing Chen analyzed everything quickly: He didn’t know where this dim small room was, outside he could hear the sound of water and rats running through the water... Was this a sewer?

The identities of these two women beside him were unknown. Had he replaced someone in this world, assuming someone else’s identity?

Boss? Why do they call me boss?

Qing Chen didn’t know how to handle these two women yet, but he knew he mustn’t reveal his transmigrator identity or the countdown on his arm.

The boning knife in his hand was gone, indicating items can’t be carried through transmigration.

Just then, Black Spider asked, "Boss, how much time is left on your countdown?"

Qing Chen: "..."

This was truly surprising.

They knew about the countdown on his arm?! Wasn’t this exposure?

Qing Chen’s brain thought rapidly... Could it be that everyone in this world had a countdown on their arms?

He restrained the urge to look at the countdown on his arm and nonchalantly asked back, "How much time is left on your countdowns?"

Black Spider: "..."

Yi: "..."

Awkward.

Both Black Spider and Yi were stunned, Yi murmured quietly, "Don’t joke with us, this joke isn’t funny... Qing Chen, I’m Yi!"

Qing Chen realized he had misspoken and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mm, I know you’re Yi."

Yi: "You know nothing, Ghost! If you knew you wouldn’t be like this now!"

Qing Chen: "Don’t question your boss."

Yi: "You’re Black Spider’s boss, not mine!"

Qing Chen: "Just woke up, my mind’s a bit chaotic."

Yi confirmed that Qing Chen was in a state of amnesia.

The path to godhood for the Qing Chen Group wasn’t a secret; he had forewarned everyone of the dangers he would face, so they could prepare thoroughly, no need to hide it.

But Qing Chen’s current state... it’s a bit strange.

He was forgetful, but not entirely forgetful.

Yi seemed to have realized something. She was artificial intelligence, with formidable computing capability.

So when she heard Qing Chen’s words, she immediately recalled the principles of the path to godhood that Qing Chen had previously mentioned, roughly guessing his current mental state...

Yet, watching Qing Chen perform in front of her was quite amusing...

Yi asked nonchalantly, "Are you a transmigrator from another world?!"

Qing Chen’s heart tightened, "How could that be?! Transmigration is fake."

"Mm," Yi played along, "You fought someone before and happened to get hit on the back of the head with a stick, is your mind a bit chaotic now?"

Qing Chen: "...Yes!"

Yi pointed at Black Spider and asked, "What’s her name?"

Qing Chen: "...Er, what’s she called again?"

"She’s called Black Spider, she’s your subordinate," Yi said, "I’m your girlfriend."

Qing Chen: "You’re not."

Yi was annoyed: "So this you remember! How infuriating!"

Qing Chen had realized that these two unfamiliar women in front of him knew his transmigrator identity, and they knew each other for a long time, recognizing not the person he had replaced but himself.

Now, he decided to bluntly clarify matters: "What exactly happened? This isn’t my first transmigration, is it? But why don’t I remember anything?"

Yi and Black Spider sighed in relief as long as he was willing to communicate honestly: "Starting from your first transmigration, it’s been quite a while. We’ll probably recount everything you’ve been through, see if we can awaken your memories."
