Chapter 32 Disappearing Memories

Ling Zihan is a person who plans before acting.

The time I have lived in Yazi Town is not too short.

a year?
half a year?

Still a year and a half?

This is a seemingly odd question.

It must be, and only Ling Zihan can answer it himself.

However, he had no idea about it, and felt that the memory fragments in the back of his mind were a little missing, so that he couldn't find the answer about the exact time of residence in Yazi Town even after racking his brains.

This question has been lingering in Ling Zihan's mind for a long time.

He didn't dare to ask Liao Qiu.

At first, I just vaguely felt that Liao Qiu's situation should be similar to my own, and it might be difficult to get an answer from him.

Later, this feeling became clearer and clearer.Although there is no evidence, Ling Zihan is very clear that Liao Qiu cannot know the exact answer.

What's worse, if you ask, it is very likely to cause a series of unpredictable consequences.

This kind of thing would sound unbelievable to others, and even felt that Ling Zihan was deliberately creating a mysterious gimmick.In fact, Ling Zihan is willing to swear with the most precious thing in his life——he didn't lie, he didn't pretend to be mysterious, he was truly full of fear of this terrifying world.

Half a year ago... To be precise, it should be six months and eleven days ago, Ling Zihan began to think about when he became a resident of Yazi Town.

He remembered that he once wandered in the wilderness, and used a modified long knife to fight off the siege of the sawtooth rat group.

He thought of countless faces that seemed familiar but extremely strange.There are men, but also women, the elderly and children.They were crying and smiling.There is a separation of the body and head, accompanied by various sweet and warm family life scenes.

He even "sees" some special scenes related to the above-ground world.He has mostly forgotten what it is specifically, and only remembers that there are bright lights everywhere, and the legendary sun that releases warmth and light is suspended in the sky.

A large number of fragmented memories rose and sank in Ling Zihan's mind. He tried to salvage them in his sleep and meditation, but finally found that it was futile.

What was even more frightening was that Ling Zihan found out that Liao Qiu was in the same situation as himself.

He couldn't remember at all when he met Liao Qiu, and when he became close friends with Liao Qiu.

Liao Qiu's origin is also a mystery.

He appeared as if out of nowhere.

For a while, Ling Zihan felt that he might be crazy.

He sent Liao Qiu out hunting on the pretext of "being sick and wanting to rest", and then spent seventeen long hours in loneliness and fear.

Ling Zihan needs to be alone to calm down and think.

He didn't know the answer to whether the result of thinking was the real answer, but he felt it was the best logical explanation.

I lost part of my memory.

It may also be sick, Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as senile dementia.

There is only one thing for sure——Liao Qiu is his best friend in the true sense, the one who can entrust everything to him.

These thoughts are really strange, Ling Zihan can't even find evidence, but he thinks this is the truth.

He felt that Yazi Town was an extremely scary place for him.

Regional magnetic fields above normal tolerance levels, certain toxic substances in the air or water.There may be hallucinogens in the food, there are too many impurities in the engine oil...

Since then, Ling Zihan has had the idea of ​​leaving... No, it should be the idea of ​​escaping from Yazi Town.

Regardless of whether he picked up the torn coat in the garbage mountain and swallowed the mysterious piece of jerky without realizing it, Ling Zihan planned to leave Yazi Town after earning ten silver horns.

The reason why Liao Qiu stayed in Yazi Town to control the three major gangs instead of him after his strength soared and became a supernatural being was also the result of Ling Zihan's deliberation.

If there is really some kind of mystery in Yazi Town that is not known to outsiders, just see if there will be any changes beyond normal logic in Liao Qiu half a year later, you can know something about it.

Ling Zihan was not sure about this, and he had a vague feeling in his heart that the overall trend of this change should be positive, that is, the kind that would have a positive direction for Liao Qiu.

Yet another uncontrollable and frightening mystery.

Ling Zihan set himself a temporary departure time of half a year.

He needs to earn enough money within this period.

"Enough" is not enough, it must be "enough".

However, just before Ling Zihan was about to leave Yazi Town, he was horrified to find that the situation had gotten worse.

The question of subconscious thinking is not limited to "How long have I been in Yazi Town", but also added a new question "Who are my parents?"

Both of these questions are so common that they look nothing special to normal people.Even if there is no exact answer, at most it is a laugh.

The cruel reality forces people to focus more on survival-related aspects.

Things like food, clean drinking water, and medicine.

However, the question of "who are my parents" was so entangled in Ling Zihan's thinking that he began to feel a headache.

Is a real headache, not an adjective.

On the night before leaving, he controlled his thinking with great perseverance and endurance, forcing himself not to think about these terrible problems, and tried his best to clear all abnormal thoughts from his mind.

Going back to the previous sentence——Ling Zihan is a person who plans before acting.

As for the long-term plan for going to Floating Cloud City and beyond, this was a plan Ling Zihan had made a long time ago.

How long exactly...sorry, that's also the dreaded question of time.Maybe he had an accurate answer before, but now he has forgotten it and can't remember it at all.

He kept in mind the key to the whole plan: joining the Azure Dragon Legion.

This is a small goal that seems simple but difficult to achieve.

It is said that the Qinglong Legion is the continuation of the old army.This is a very cohesive yet loosely structured organization.They never announce their personnel and equipment to the outside world, but the overall strength of the legion ranks first among all the groups in the dark world.

Ling Zihan has always thought that Yazi Town is a very strange place.Although Zhong Jun had a good impression on him and they were very familiar with each other, he dared not and could not give Zhong Jun [-]% trust without absolute certainty.

But he needs that letter of recommendation from Zhong Jun.

The Qinglong Legion does not want people of unknown origin.There is only one standard for them to recruit members - they must have a formal urban household registration.

In the old days, this matter could only be resolved at the local police station.

Now, there are many ways to solve it, and Hengwei Boxing Gym is one of them.

The boxing gym welcomes any boxer who volunteers to participate.Because they can bring income to the boxing gym.

There is no need for identification to fight in the boxing field. Whether you play one game or ten games, those who only want to get money but don't care about winning or losing are called "wild boxers".

As long as the boxing gym issues relevant documents to prove that the boxer has signed a contract and holds a license, the Qinglong Legion will regard him as the owner of the urban household registration and approve to join.

Boxing gyms are not just for everyone, because boxers are self-reliant after going on the field, once something unexpected happens... It can be understood that the relevant units in the old days caused trouble, and the personnel involved were formal or temporary workers.

In fact, becoming a licensed boxer is not as difficult as imagined.As long as Ling Zihan competes in Hengwei Boxing Gym for a long time and maintains the current friendly relationship with Luo Biao, after one year, he will apply to become a licensed boxer, and there is a high probability that he will pass the examination.

Ling Zihan didn't want to wait that long.He was very worried that one day in the future, he would have the mysterious fear of living in Floating Cloud City again.

The uncertainty about Zhong Jun made it impossible for him to find Su Xiaoxiao directly when he arrived in Floating Cloud City.

As I said before: What if Zhong Jun sells me?
The reason why he chose to fight nine times first is because Ling Zihan is not sure about the specific earning speed of boxing matches.

Including frankly admitting that he works in Zhao Dongyang's grocery store, everything shows that Ling Zihan is short of money.

This is his open weakness, and a special disguise he uses to protect himself.

Winning nine games in a row is enough to prove his strength.

Although the strength on the registration form is only a C-level freshman, Ling Zihan is very clear that not just anyone can achieve nine consecutive victories, which means that he has rich combat experience and fighting skills.As the owner of the pavilion, when Su Xiaoxiao chooses between interests, there is a high probability that he will favor his side.

As long as you have money, modification and strengthening are just a matter of one sentence, but experience and actual combat skills cannot be directly obtained by implanting chips.

One thing must be admitted, the speed of gaining income through boxing far exceeds Ling Zihan's expectations.In just nine days, he had earned as much as six gold dollars.

Fully refitting the first-class primary body and appearing in front of Luo Biao without any scruples, just to show his attitude, and at the same time let Luo Biao take him to see Su Xiaoxiao.

Take out the recommendation letter at this time to maximize the effect.

Take the initiative to ask for help and ask in turn after reaching a certain height, "Do you want me?"

These are two completely different concepts, and the height of the other party's view of you is also very different from the mentality of choosing and choosing at the same time.

Of course, the words can't be said to death. Ling Zihan knew that he had violated the default rules of the boxing gym, so he offered to "will fight the tenth round with the strength of a C-level freshman."

He got his wish and got a letter of recommendation to join the Azure Dragon Corps.

He got his wish and obtained the identity of a licensed boxer of Hengwei Boxing Gym.

In the end, he got his wish and got the chance to play the tenth game with the strength of a C-level freshman.

Ling Zihan never let go of every opportunity to make money.

He knows he can win.

In his pocket was a recommendation letter signed by Su Xiaoxiao and stamped with the seal of the boxing gym. When he followed Luo Biao to leave the gymnasium owner's office, Ling Zihan suddenly had the idea that terrified him again.

who are my parents

He has suppressed it for a long time, and he doesn't want to think about it or dare to think about it.

Su Xiaoxiao's astonishing beauty caused him to have a sliver of delusion that normal men would have, and then unstoppably evolved into illusory intimacy, and then unspeakable love, getting married, having children...

This kind of thing can't be done if you don't want to.

Head... hurts badly.

……

Luo Biao took Ling Zihan to take the elevator to the mechanical transformation workshop located on the third basement floor of the boxing gym.

There are a variety of modified accessories of different models.One of the most striking is a "Dongfeng [-]" multifunctional mechanical leg.

This is one of the powerful "Enhanced Body Class B" modification parts.

Luo Biao raised his finger and pointed to the combination workbench directly in front of him, glanced sideways at Ling Zihan who was following behind, and said coldly, "Lie down."

His affection for Ling Zihan was gone.Luo Biao felt that he had been deceived, or even betrayed.This damned young man is really cunning, if it wasn't for the urgent time that Ling Zihan would play right after the modification, Luo Biao really wanted to use his fists to make him understand what it means to "squeeze a steel bullet with iron hands".

Ling Zihan lowered his head, pressed his left hand firmly on his temple, and let out a low "huh".

The pain from the head was so sharp, it was like a blunt knife was slicing through that place.

He didn't understand why such a simple thought could cause such terrible pain.

From Luo Biao's point of view, this action was like raising his hand to cover his face.He spat thick phlegm on the ground with disdain, pointed at the workbench, and sternly shouted: "Don't pretend to me. Since you have come to this place, it is too late for you to regret it. Time is tight and the task is heavy, get out there immediately, or I will disassemble you into parts right now."

Ling Zihan endured the discomfort and severe pain, staggered up to the workbench, and lay down on his back.

Drill bits and screwdrivers were quickly busy on the surface of his body. As the screws were removed one by one, his arms, legs and feet were removed one by one, and replaced with a set of old-style C primary body parts that were not covered by bionic skin and had more than 50.00% of the waterproof paint film peeling off.

Luo Biao grabbed Ling Zihan's shoulders and lifted him from the workbench, his rough face was full of ferocious expressions: "How do you feel?"

This question has two meanings.

One is excitement and satisfaction.Watching a Grade A nascent body be forcibly removed from its parts, resulting in a decline in strength, it feels like a kid from a rich family being stripped naked and thrown into a slum, it's so refreshing!
The second is to ask Ling Zihan how he feels after the modification.After all, the temporary installation accessories are very different from the original accessories he often uses. If he does not have a sense of coordination and adaptation, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced after playing.

The fist fighting Ling Zihan today is the hell madman.Because it was the tenth match, the odds offered by the boxing gym were [-] to [-] and [-] to [-].

The hell madman is a black iron fighter, and Ling Zihan is only bronze.

According to the computer statistics, the betting slip before 900 o'clock tonight shows that the total amount of bets on Ling Zihan has reached more than [-] gold dollars.

The total amount of betting on Hell Madman exceeds two thousand gold dollars.

Gamblers who regularly play in the casino are very shrewd.Three for one seems like a lot, but the odds of winning are slim.This is like a match between the national football team and Kofi Annan in the old World Cup. All kinds of information and big data show that the national football team will win without losing.

But no one can deny that there is a possibility that Annan's scumbag team suddenly exerts its strength and becomes an unexpected dark horse.
