"Yun Zhi Yue," laughed, "Oh, Four is nowhere to be seen. Your temper seems to have improved, not bad."
"Weren't you supposed to have amnesia?" Jiang Bai questioned.
"I did say I remembered some fragments. I still know about you all in Yu City. Anyway, if you have questions for me, you'll need time. How about I join this alliance at the conference?"
Gold-haired Raul immediately chimed in, "And me! I'm with Yu Yue."
Yun Zhi Yue shot a glance at Laurel but remained silent. According to Laurel, the other five from the Top Ten List had already teamed up, so their five against five would be fair enough.
Song Huai didn’t voice any objections, which implied consent. Yun Zhi Yue quickly made a decision.
"Alright, you have so many rooms; let me have one to sleep in. I've lost my memory and can't recall my bank account details, so I'm a bit short on cash."
With that, he stood up and casually headed for a room. Laurel immediately followed.
Yun Zhi Yue turned back with a frown. "What are you doing?"
"I'm sleeping with you! I'm scared alone," Laurel shamelessly replied.
Yun Zhi Yue twitched his eyelid. "Get lost! I'm a straight man; I can't sleep with you. Keep your distance!"
Laurel completely changed his demeanor when he didn’t get his way. "Straight man? Please! A straight man wouldn't say things like wanting to undress and seduce men!"
Suddenly, the silver chain around Yun Zhi Yue glimmered with a faint purple light, sending a wave of danger that made Laurel's face change as he bolted for the door.
As he fled, he didn’t forget to leave a parting shot: "Come on, brother! Can't take a joke? You're really that stingy?"
Yun Zhi Yue retracted the chain and entered the room with a scowl.
In the living room, Jiang Bai Miao Se spoke solemnly. "Song Huai, Yu Yue's strength has also surged. If they truly join forces with us, we might have more than just peculiarities to worry about."
"No problem. Once we know what we want, he becomes useless," came a calm yet chilling voice that sent shivers down Bai Miao Miao's spine. She nestled into Jiang Bai's embrace, her eyes filled with longing. "Yun Zhi Yue, are you still alive?"
Though they all held onto hope that once they escaped the Eerie Game, the life bond between Song Huai and Yun Zhi Yue would be severed, they could only confirm that Yun Zhi Yue had not died before their departure.
That day in the Eerie Game had clearly broadcast extreme annihilation; it meant that unless completely eradicated, it wouldn’t stop. Yun Zhi Yue had indeed been severely injured; his body was nearly worn away, leaving only a wisp of black smoke.
The chances of survival looked bleak from any angle.
She was also the mysterious Ming Di Ren; they hoped even more that with those two words—Ming Di—Yun Zhi Yue could escape calamity once again.
In the midst of the various insults thrown at her in the Reincarnation Stone, Yun Zhi Yue slept particularly soundly, drifting from six or seven o'clock into the depths of the night, only to wake up in search of water. The human body was indeed troublesome.
She opened the door and stepped into the hall, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge and gulping down half of it. As she carried the remaining bottle back to her room, her gaze was drawn to a man sprawled on the sofa, holding a bottle of liquor.
Though her time with Song Huai in the Eerie Game had not been long, she understood what kind of man he was. The current sight of him, lost in a haze of alcohol and despair, did not suit him at all.
She stood there for a while, one hand resting on her forehead as she observed his arm dangling off the edge of the sofa, gripping the bottle. A sense of discomfort stirred within her.
Listening to his long breaths, it seemed he had fallen asleep. Yun Zhi Yue cautiously approached, fixating on his suspended hand. Would he really be half-conscious by morning if it stayed like this all night?
After hesitating for a moment, she finally grasped the sleeve of his shirt and gently lifted his arm, placing it back on the sofa without disturbing the bottle.
