The distinction between humans and other animals lies precisely in their unique memory and emotions. Each memory is special, making them the one-of-a-kind beings in the world.

Imagine if one day your memories are gradually consumed by time, forgetting everything from the past – first your family, friends, then your likes, dislikes, and finally yourself.

You lie on the bed in a daze, unaware of hunger, oblivious to exhaustion, merely relying on instinct to maintain your breathing. This body has gradually become an empty shell because the disappearance of memories accompanies the death of the soul.

It's a pain more terrifying than death.

Jiang Weimian had once tightly sealed away a distant memory. He didn't want to recall it, yet he couldn't bear to forget it, resisting stubbornly against the endless flow of time.

Suddenly, Jiang Weimian remembered something from his youth, a rare moment of losing composure. He hastily wiped away the tears on his face, looking unsettled, as if trying to conceal something. He turned his head, avoiding eye contact, and spoke hurriedly, "I didn't cry. I accidentally hit my eye while sleeping just now."

He found a clumsy excuse for those tear stains.

Shen Zuixing, seeing this, remained silent, surprisingly not mocking him. At that moment, the gaming session ended, and everyone heard a cold notification sound:

[Ding! Congratulations to all players for successfully passing the intermediate-level trial. The game time has ended. Do you wish to enter the next level? Ten seconds countdown, after ten seconds, if no choice is made, it will automatically enter the next level——]

[10…]

[9…]

[8…]

Somehow, Jiang Weimian suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Zuixing, who happened to be lazily supporting his head and also looking at him. They didn't say anything or do anything, maintaining eye contact during the last few seconds of the countdown.

[3…]

[2…]

[1…]

[Ding! About to enter the next level! Congratulations to the five players for obtaining a golden key and a random reward card. Please continue to work hard! The ultimate level is opening]

A golden key suddenly appeared in the game inventory, along with an unknown black card with a pattern of two clasped hands on the back.

Jiang Weimian's vision flashed with white light, and he suddenly lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a crowded street. The night was gradually falling, and the neon lights of tall buildings lit up one by one, creating a beautiful contrast with the setting sun.

Jiang Weimian's head began to ache slightly. He struggled to sit up from the ground, only to see Shen Zuixing, Qian Duoduo, and others squatting beside him, hands supporting their chins, looking at him. Around them, passersby regarded them as eccentric, casting curious glances.

Jiang Weimian's eyelid twitches, and veins popped on his forehead, "Why are you squatting next to me?"

Is this to sell oneself to bury one's father?

Qian Duoduo took out a handful of coins from his pocket, speaking with excitement, "Jiang ge, we originally wanted to help you lie down on a bench by the roadside, but when those passersby saw you lying on the ground, they started throwing money towards you!"
