Misty Town.

7 a.m.

As the bells rang, the thick fog that had enveloped the entire night receded rapidly like a tide.

The eerie knocking and howling sounds vanished without a trace.

Lin Hui sat at the dining table, eating the sandwiches and hot milk that Su Qingqian had carefully prepared, while looking out the window at the street.

The residents with blank expressions reappeared, starting their day's work like programmed NPCs.

"Today is my third day in Misty Town."

Lin Hui swallowed a mouthful of milk, feeling the warmth in his stomach, but his brain was racing.

According to Sheriff Lyon, starting today, players who have not consumed the Sacred Fruit will begin to be corrupted by the curse and lose their memories.

but……

More than an hour has passed since I woke up this morning.

Lin Hui made a point of recalling all the details of his journey since entering the Misty Town.

All the memories are crystal clear, as if they were engraved in my mind.

I don't feel any sense of forgetting, and my brain doesn't feel groggy at all.

"Strange..." Lin Hui frowned slightly.

However, at that moment...

Drop drop!

The communicator in his arms suddenly rang urgently.

Lin Hui put down the milk and pressed the answer button.

On the other end of the communicator, Song Shan's anxious, almost hoarse voice came through instantly:

"Brother Lin! Something terrible has happened!!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat.

"Yoko! Yoko woke up and seems a little dazed!!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui put down his sandwich, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

"Wait for me, I'll be right there."

Lin Hui hung up the call and quickly went to the house where Chen Ye was.

Push the door open and enter.

Chen Ye was sitting in a chair, holding his head in his hands, looking pained and deep in thought. Song Shan, on the other hand, was pacing anxiously like an ant on a hot plate.

"Brother Lin! You've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Lin Hui, Song Shan felt as if he had seen a savior. He grabbed Lin Hui's hand and exclaimed, "Quick, take a look at Yezi! Is this child ruined?"

Lin Hui walked up to Chen Ye, pulled out a chair, sat down, and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Ye, look at me."

Chen Ye raised his head, his eyes revealing a clear sense of foolishness and bewilderment.

Upon seeing Lin Hui, he instinctively stood up and greeted him, "Brother Lin."

Then, he touched his chest, which was still wrapped in bandages, and asked with a puzzled look:

"Strange, how did I get injured? I don't remember anything about it."

"Brother Song said we encountered tree spirits and tree people yesterday, and my injuries were inflicted by that tree spirit named 'Raymond.' Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Song Shan, standing to the side, slapped his thigh in anguish:

"Of course it's true!!"

"Wild Child! I risked my life to save you back then, I almost got my back broken by that tree demon, and you've completely forgotten?!"

"And you even accused me of stealing your last remaining Xuanhemen sword! I'm innocent! Do you think I, Song Shan, am that kind of person? It hurts!!"

Lin Hui ignored Song Shan's wails and stared into Chen Ye's eyes, asking, "What's the earliest thing you can remember now?"

Chen Ye frowned, racking his brains for a long time before hesitantly saying:

"I remember now... when we first entered this town, we met a little girl named Lilith who was asking for medicine."

"Then...then Brother Song and I found this safe house with white stones inlaid at the door."

"I felt so tired that I lay down on the bed and fell asleep. When I woke up, this was how I was..."

At this point, Chen Ye scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, "Was I sleeping too soundly? Did I fall out of bed while sleeping and get this injury?"

Lin Hui stroked his chin, already having made his judgment.

"In other words, you've completely forgotten everything that happened yesterday."

"Including our trip to the city hall, the sacred tree, and later the great battle in the cemetery... have you forgotten everything?"

Song Shan couldn't help but exclaim, "This is just too exaggerated..."

"Is the town's curse really that terrifying? Does it erase yesterday's data just by sleeping?"

"If we stay a few more days, won't we forget why we came here in the first place, or even the side quest in [Misty Town]?"

"How can we play then? We'll really become the stupid residents here!"

The thought of the consequences sent a chill down Song Shan's spine.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned to look at Lin Hui and asked in confusion:

"By the way, Brother Lin, are you alright?"

"Your eyes are clear and your thinking is sharp; you don't look like Yezi at all."

"yes……"

Lin Hui leaned back in his chair, somewhat puzzled. "Why am I alright?"

Could it be that my mental strength is high?

After all, his mental strength is now close to 1000 points, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

No, that shouldn't be the reason.

As Leon previously stated, the curse is not absolutely related to the amount of mental strength one possesses, but rather to whether one has consumed the sacred fruit and whether one has awakened a specialization.

So what exactly happened?

Is Lyon lying?

Lin Hui was completely baffled.

But he quickly stopped worrying about it.

I'll see tomorrow.

If you can be immune to curses, that's a huge advantage!

As long as I stay clear-headed, I can lead these teammates out of here.

Lin Hui said goodbye to the two men and left.

Now that the curse has been confirmed, the next steps must be taken more quickly.

During the day, Lin Hui continued to lead Jiang Qingyan, searching for the Lilith sisters while setting up things in the town.

They also conducted some daring experiments during the night when the fog descended, such as letting zombies enter the fog, which caused them to become infected with tree scale disease...

……

On the morning of the fourth day.

Lin Hui immediately checked his memory.

Still clear and without any damage.

But when he looked at Su Qingqian beside him, his heart skipped a beat.

"Qingqian, give me that modified pistol I asked you to put away last night," Lin Hui asked tentatively.

Su Qingqian, who was combing her hair, paused for a moment, the comb in her hand stopped in mid-air, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

"A modified handgun? Boss, did you give it to me last night?"

"I remember...we were chatting all night, weren't we?"

Lin Hui's heart sank.

The curse is intensifying, and even those with specialized skills are beginning to succumb.

Although they didn't delete everything for an entire day like Chen Ye did, Su Qingqian and Liu Xi's memories also began to become blurry and confused.

The following day, Lin Hui did not go out for a stroll, but instead went through all his cards.

Last night's experiment also yielded an interesting result.

This gave Lin Hui a preliminary guess as to why he was immune to or delayed the town's curse.

As evening fell, Lin Hui watched the sun gradually set outside the window, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

"We can't wait any longer."

He stood up and walked downstairs.

"Boss..."

Inside the room, the tense voices of four women could be heard.

Lin Hui was now fully armed. He wore a black tactical jacket, the "Evil Spirit's Monocle," carried a modified axe-gun, and had a [Hidden Blade] dagger at his waist...

He turned around, looked at the four women in the room who looked worried, and gave them a confident smile.

"Don't worry, I'm tough."

"Guard the house, and do not open the door no matter what noise you hear."

After saying that, Lin Hui resolutely turned around.

He pushed open the heavy oak door, stepped onto the street, and slowly walked to a gas lamp.

Time passed by, second by second.

"Clang—clang—clang—"

At seven o'clock in the evening, the bell rang as scheduled.

That suffocating gray fog once again enveloped the entire town.
