The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

Chapter 158 We knew we'd met before!

Gao Chi held the mouse, motionless.

The onlookers remained motionless.

The penguin draped in the white sheet disappeared.

A short girl draped in a white sheet was skipping and hopping past him.

"people?"

Gao Chi's eyes widened, and his voice trembled.

"Where are the animals? How come they've all turned into people?!"

I could hear rustling sounds of discussion behind me.

"Holy crap..."

"How come they've all turned into people?"

"That was clearly a bear!"

"wrong……"

Someone suddenly realized what was happening.

"Perhaps...they were originally human?"

"Perhaps, this aligns with the motto of 'Love Should Be Discussed with People!'"

"Wow, so the headline wasn't just a gimmick; it was all there for us!"

In the scene, Ning Chang'an slowly lowers his head.

He still wore the card he always used as his employee ID around his neck.

However, the content above has completely changed after stripping away the false perceptions.

Senyu Psychological Rehabilitation Center

Name: Ning Chang'an

[Symptoms: Patients with severe dissociative cognitive impairment]

【Rehabilitation Number: 07】

The screen flickered slightly, as if waking from a deep dream.

There are no zookeepers at all, right?

next second.

The minimap in the upper right corner of the game flickered slightly.

The names of the regions that Gao Chi had memorized from the very beginning began to change one by one.

The employee break room gradually became the visitor lounge.

The outdoor activity area has been transformed into an outdoor rehabilitation area.

The Behavioral Observation Room still exists.

The psychological counseling room still exists.

Gao Chi's scalp tingled instantly.

"so……"

"This place isn't a zoo at all?"

"Ning Chang'an isn't a zookeeper at all?"

"He's been receiving treatment here? Is this a hospital?"

Am I sick?

"Am I the one who's sick?"

Someone behind them suddenly remembered the details of the earlier plot.

"So... this place wasn't a zoo at all from beginning to end?"

"Those animals are all just a cognitive filter he put on himself and his fellow patients and doctors to escape reality?!"

"Who awakens first from this great dream? Only I know my own life's true nature! If the north wind understands my heart, please do not easily destroy me!"

"Holy crap! This game really tricked me!"

"No wonder they kept reminding me to stay calm at the start of the game!"

"No wonder Dr. Wu makes him go to psychological counseling every week!"

"So those animals in front are actually what Ning Chang'an perceives them to be?"

"No wonder they all live like human beings!"

"Now it seems I'm the one who should be going to see Dr. Wu!"

"Why can that fox buy groceries, cook, and dive...?"

The person stopped halfway through their sentence, because the answer was already right in front of them: they were human beings after all!

What about Evening Glow? Isn't Evening Glow some kind of fox?

Gao Chi suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard by something.

It's only been a few hours?

But he had this feeling that he had actually accompanied Ning Chang'an and Wan Zhao through many years, from their first meeting, to forgetting each other, and then to their reunion.

All the images he no longer understood were now interpreted in a new way.

"Good heavens..."

Gao Chi wiped his face.

"He was a good young man chasing his dreams, but the world is full of treacherous people."

He instinctively looked towards the fountain.

At the bottom of the pool, two sunken stars lay quietly side by side.

The light shone through the water, and the silver spots on the stone surface glittered, truly resembling two stars that had sunk to the bottom of the water.

This time, he finally understood what the opening poem meant.

Ning Chang'an did indeed know Wan Zhao. In fact, they had known each other for a long time, but a sudden change made him forget the entire world.

The game didn't give Gao Chi much time to process the information.

The lights in the scene gradually dimmed, and the surrounding cosplay music and cheers gradually faded away.

Like a long-lasting dream, it slowly dissipated before dawn, or like Ning Chang'an's consciousness gradually fading...

【the next day】

The morning sunlight streamed into Ning Chang'an's room through the window.

After Ning Chang'an woke up, he sat by the bed for a long time.

The familiar house hasn't changed much.

But the "Work Log" on the table has turned into a thick "Rehabilitation Record".

The so-called "Mori Island Zoo Park Map" on the wall finally revealed its real name.

Senyu Psychological Rehabilitation Center

He put on his coat and went to that familiar place again.

The Senyu Rehabilitation Center was much quieter during the day. People in hospital gowns were still going in and out of the entrance. The layout of the garden, restaurant and activity room remained unchanged, but all the furry animals that Ning Chang'an used to see were gone.

He followed the route he remembered until he reached the area that originally belonged to the red foxes.

Walk through the garden.

We walked past the artificial lake.

There were no animal enclosures, no fox huts, and no Captain Jack Sparrow.

There was only one empty recreation room, with a few chairs scattered in the sunlight.

In the game, Ning Chang'an stood there, his eyes dim.

Just as he turned around, preparing to leave silently...

"Click".

A soft sound came from behind, as if someone had stepped on a dead branch.

Ning Chang'an stopped moving and slowly turned around.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light.

A young woman stood not far away.

A simple white short-sleeved shirt and light-colored jeans exude a youthful and energetic vibe that's hard to look away from.

Most notably, she had long, bright red hair that seemed to burn like flames in the sunlight, tied up high!

She didn't have fox ears, nor did she have that big tail that always liked to wag around.

The girl had her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and stared intently at Ning Chang'an, who was completely stunned.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The woman had her hands behind her back and tilted her head slightly.

The smile on his face gradually overlapped with the image of the guy who emerged from the bottom of the fountain in his memory.

"Feed".

The girl's lips curled into a familiar smile, her voice clear and crisp, with the last syllable still carrying that hint of laughter that evoked the sea breeze.

"Will you still recognize me today?"

Ning Chang'an did not answer.

He simply looked at her, as if piecing together, bit by bit, the vivid and bright human face before him, along with those scattered memories on the boundary between illusion and reality.

The coins under the fountain, the billowing black smoke from the kitchen, the icy waters of Chenxing Bay, the group photo on the yacht, and last night... Captain Jack standing next to the fountain.

Finally, all the images have a real, warm face.

The girl waited for a while.

Seeing that Ning Chang'an remained silent, she raised an eyebrow slightly.

"No way?"

"You apologized once yesterday, and now you want to do it again today?"

After a while, seeing that he didn't speak, the girl took two steps forward and generously extended a hand.

"It seems you're still having some difficulty recovering your memory."

"So, do we need to get to know each other again?"

She spoke with a smile, her eyes crinkling:

"My name is Shen Wanzhao."

"The senior diving student at Xinghai Club was also your former lifetime VIP client."

She paused slightly, as if remembering something, and then, as if trying to save face, added a few more sentences very seriously:
