The Little Prince wanted to help the drunkard, so he continued to press him for what he was ashamed of. The drunkard lowered his head and confessed:

"I'm ashamed that I drink."

Then the drunkard ignored the Little Prince completely, continuing to drink in silence. Completely bewildered, the Little Prince left the planet, muttering to himself in confusion as he walked:

"These adults are really strange."

This is a very short passage from "The Little Prince." In this section, the "drunkard" symbolizes those confused and muddled people among humanity. They are cowards who only know how to escape, constantly numbing themselves and daring not to face the challenges of reality.

Duke clearly remembered the story of the Little Prince and the drunkard, but he couldn't recall a single word of the rest of the Little Prince's plot. He turned to look at Monica behind him, and it turned out that his and her amnesia symptoms were exactly the same.

Monica doesn't remember the solution or the core of the witch game; she lacks the relevant knowledge and even experiences mental blocks when the topic comes up. Duke, on the other hand, doesn't remember the plot of *The Little Prince* or the process of the supposed witch game "The Little Prince," and similarly experiences mental blocks when trying to recall those memories.

The similar symptoms basically confirm that Duke's amnesia was also caused by Carol, but knowing this does not help their current situation!

Duke frowned and began to question the will of the world:

"Does the story that unfolds here match the original plot of the fairy tale?"

"No, you have nine questions left."

"Is it that the drunkard no longer tries to forget his shame?"

"No, you have eight questions left."

"Did someone steal the drunkard's bottle?"

"Yes, you have seven questions left."

"Did the Little Prince steal the bottle?"

"No, you have six questions left."

"Thankfully, the answer is no. Minors shouldn't drink alcohol... cough, so it was me, the one who stole the bottle, who participated in the witch's game?"

"No, you have five questions left."

Duke casually asked several questions. He didn't remember the background story of his memory world, but that didn't matter. After all, this was a turtle soup game. A proper turtle soup game should obtain the necessary information from true/false questions, not from answering questions based on super-game knowledge.

However, this meant that his ten questions weren't enough, so Duke turned to look at Monica beside him.

In the first memory world, Duke's puzzle-solving partners were Guangbao and Xiaohei. The combined intelligence of these two might not even be as good as Duke's. As a result, they both came up with many questions that helped Duke solve the difficult problems. If a smart person had helped him think about the soup noodles and soup base, wouldn't that have been a sure thing?

As the saying goes, three Zhuge Liangs can easily defeat ninety-nine cobblers.

Duke's journey in conquering the witch's game began with a partner as clever as Monica... Her name was Annie, a yandere who couldn't live without causing trouble. Even with such significant personality flaws, Annie still played a crucial role in conquering the truth or dare game.

Duke, intrigued, turned around and briefly recounted the story of the Little Prince and the Drunkard to Monica and Xiao Hei.

After hearing the plot of the fairy tale and learning about the connection between the fairy tale and the witch's game from Duke, Monica immediately understood his line of thinking. Thus, despite harboring a deep-seated hatred for Carol, the elderly Monica, without even a second thought, exclaimed without hesitation, "So, the one who stole the bottle was Carol, who participated in the witch's game, right!"

Upon hearing this, the World Will immediately replied, "Correct answer!"

Monica: "?"

Duke: "?"

To be honest, Monica was just trying to make a joke and lighten the mood. Who would have thought that the answer would be so easy to guess?

The world's will seemed impatient in its pronouncements, and even more impatient in its attempts to expel people. Monica and Xiao Hei sensed the spatial fluctuations almost simultaneously. They stared at each other, then looked at Duke, about to shout something... when they vanished from Duke's sight.

Two shadow creatures, one large and one small, left this world of memories, leaving Duke alone behind.

The black smoke from the distant plane wreckage gradually died down.

Night had fallen in the desert sometime earlier.

A sky full of dazzling stars came into view.

The aroma of wine filled the air.

The tree's branches pierced through the sand.

“My friend, you’re back.”

A childish voice sounded from behind him, and Duke subconsciously turned around, only to be met with a dazzling blond head.

A little boy of about six years old appeared behind Duke at some point. He had an innocent smile on his lips, a rose pinned to his chest, but his face was so pale that he looked as if he was about to enter heaven.

"Friend, could you draw me a sheep?"

Duke paused for a moment before speaking again:

"I have no paintbrush or canvas, Little Prince."

"Is it the same as last time?"

The Little Prince was still smiling, his smile unchanged, but in Duke's eyes, it only sent chills down one's spine.

Chapter 259 My friend, I look forward to our reunion

Looking at the little prince, who was smiling innocently, Duke's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but ask:

What does "same as last time" mean?

"It means exactly what it says, doesn't it? The last time you saw me, you didn't bring paper and pen either, did you?" The little prince tilted his head, reached into his pocket, and magically produced paper and pen, handing them to Duke. "This time I've prepared them for you, Duke."

“I…I don’t remember.” After a moment of thought, Duke decided to tell the truth. He shook his head and said to the little prince in front of him, “I don’t remember the story of how we met before.”

The little prince tilted his head and gave him a strange look, but quickly smiled again: "It's alright, then let's be friends again."

"it is good."

"Hello, my name is the Little Prince, Duke. What's your name?"

"My name is Duke, it's nice to meet you, little prince."

So far, this memory world hasn't experienced the terrifying rampage that occurred in the previous two memory worlds after participating players asked questions. This might be because Duke and Monica answered the questions instantly, but in Duke's opinion, it's more likely due to the unique nature of this memory world.

Or rather, the special nature of this little prince in front of us.

"Great! Now we're friends again!" The little prince was delighted. He tiptoed and twirled happily in place, dancing even though there was no music. "Friend, can you draw me a sheep?"

"Is it so that your rose friend can see something new and interesting?"

"Yeah, that's right! Hey Duke, you said you'd forgotten what happened before, but you still remember the story I told you, don't you?"

Duke smiled politely.

After meeting the Little Prince in person, he gradually remembered the plot of "The Little Prince" that he had read in his previous life, such as the rose that the Little Prince liked and the baobab tree that the Little Prince hated... However, although he gradually remembered the plot of the fairy tale, he still couldn't remember what he had done in the witch's game.

Honestly, he can't fly a plane or draw, so why would the Little Prince take a liking to him?

Duke took out paper and pen and, with a forced smile, drew a sheep—this sheep was not realistic at all, but rather had a bit of an abstract style of Pleasant Goat. However, the little prince was very happy to receive the painting. He solemnly held the painting with both hands, raised it above his head, and once again jumped and danced.

Looking at the little prince's innocence and cuteness, Duke's earlier sense of unease gradually subsided. He even began to wonder why he had felt that way before—the little prince is such a cute little boy, who would dislike such a child?

But just as he began to feel affection for the Little Prince, something deep within his soul stirred, jolting Duke awake.

It wasn't a fragment of Talia's soul. After entering the Tower of Babel, she was so quiet that it seemed not to exist in the depths of Duke's soul. Clearly, she had been almost completely assimilated and devoured by Duke.

The one who used the stimulus to remind him was Duke himself!

His soul was warning Duke that the little prince before him was not as simple as he appeared.

Duke took a step back without making a sound, took out a remote control-like item from his inventory, and held it in his hand.

【Item Name: Cheating Tool】

[Item Description: "Invincible! Dazzling! Like a shooting star! The strongest player in gold! Hyperion!"]

[Item Effect: Allows you to choose one of the following cheat modes: invincibility, invincibility, instant kill, teleportation, unlimited money, resurrection, or unlimited mana. The effect will last for three seconds and then end.]

Holding the cheat device, Duke regained his confidence and reached out to touch the little prince's golden hair, which was as bright as the sun. However, Duke's hand reached out but found nothing.

Duke's hand passed through the Little Prince's head, as if the boy before him were not real, but merely an illusion.

"You are?"

"I am the Little Prince."

The little prince stopped his joyful smile and dance, looked at Duke with a slightly sad gaze, and after a long while, continued:

"My friend, I look forward to our true reunion... in the real world that belongs to you and me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke felt the spatial fluctuations surrounding him. At the same time, the faint aroma of wine that had been lingering around the little prince suddenly intensified and was inhaled by Duke. Before Duke could react, he felt a violent jolt before his eyes, followed by a dizzying spin and a complete upheaval in the world before him.

It was as if Duke had entered a completely new world in an instant.

He clutched his head, a sharp pain shooting through his soul, causing the memory to cool rapidly and gradually become blurred... Duke bit his tongue hard, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly raised his head.

Before him stood Monica and Little Black, who had arrived in the world of memories before him. They both looked at Duke in surprise, especially Monica, who reacted strongly by questioning him:

"Duke, how did you get here?"

Monica had been trapped in her own world of memories for decades, unable to find a way to leave. Now, reality showed her that Duke had accomplished what she couldn't in just a few minutes. This made her feel incredibly resentful—she was clearly a powerful legendary spellcaster, a wise lord of a floating city, so how could she seem like a complete idiot compared to Duke?

But Duke didn't answer her question. Instead, he roared, "Tell me about the world you remember, and then tell me... that witch game was about The Little Prince!"

After saying that, Duke fell straight down and temporarily lost consciousness.

Monica: "?"

Before her emotions had fully formed, she looked down at Duke lying on the ground and began to ponder. After thinking for a while, she finally remembered that she should try to save him. So, Monica, who had been trapped in her memory world for decades without moving, began to recall the few healing spells she knew.

Before she could even process what was happening, Duke in front of her opened his eyes and jumped up at lightning speed.

"What are you two doing? Why are you staring at me like that?" He not only didn't feel awkward, but even asked Monica and the black guy who were looking at Duke, "Is my beach so fun? Do you have to linger here?"

Duke had completely forgotten that after the Shadow Lab, they had also experienced a memory world!

Chapter 260 Her Mother

Duke listened to Monica's story with a frown, but he still couldn't recall the story of "The Little Prince" or what had happened in the previous memory world.

However, Duke chose to believe Monica because she possessed the cheat device, and Duke had no memory of taking it out himself.

Because this item is incredibly powerful, and its unmentioned "side effects" are enormous, Duke wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary. Even when he met Monica before, he didn't use any cheat items… So the question is, after Monica and Xiao Hei left the memory world first, what exactly did he encounter in that memory world? And why did he pull out a cheat item?

Duke pondered for a moment but didn't get any answers. And there was no benevolent world will to come and give him the answers to this kind of question. In the end, he could only focus his attention back on the matter at hand.

The voice of the world's will resounded:

“Whenever the noisy streets return to quiet, someone will start to weep.”
