Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Why? Are you afraid to go in?" Zachary asked, noticing the fear on Alisa's delicate face.

"I'm not afraid!" she argued. "I just don't like creepy places without light. Besides, I only agreed to do you a favor; I don't remember agreeing to do everything you say."

"All right, I'll go in by myself. Wait for me here. If I need your help, I'll call out." He nodded and walked into the cave, leaving Alisa behind.

She waited a long time, but he still didn't come out. Gradually, Alisa started to feel uneasy and confused.

Just as she was getting impatient and worried, a shrill scream came from inside the cave.

"Harley?!" Alisa's expression changed abruptly. She panicked and rushed into the cave without thinking twice.

However, when she entered the cave, she couldn't sense Zachary's aura. She looked around desperately. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

"Where is he?" Her brows knitted tightly in worry. The cave looked withered in the absence of any light. Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of deja-vu, as if she had already been to this cave before, but she could not remember anything in particular.

"Alisa! You are here. Will you avenge my miserable death?" A miserable voice echoed through the cave.

Even though she was a powerful warrior, Alisa could not keep her countenance when she heard the horrifying voice. Moreover, she was already afraid of the dark environment, so her face turned deathly pale in an instant. She tried to maintain calm and shouted, "Harley, is that you? Don't play tricks on me, or I'll make you pay..."

"I'm not Harley. My name is Zachary Zi, and I'm your fiance. Don't you remember me, Alisa? On that fateful night years ago, you and I were chased by those who had annihilated my clan and we escaped to this place. You got seriously injured after trying to save me, and to keep you alive, I hid you here in this cave and drew the killers away on my own. When I died and came back to this cave, you were no longer here. I have been waiting for a lon

"She will say the same. But you can ask her to make sure. Her cultivation is more profound than mine in terms of soul psychokinesis," she replied.

"Okay, I'll go to her right away," he said, getting up from Alisa's side.

"Let me go with you," Anne said.

Zachary nodded and headed to the Fairy Island with Alisa in his arms and Anne by his side.

However, when they arrived at the Fairy Island, Tania was nowhere to be seen. There was a note on the door of her bamboo house which read, "I will be out for a month!"

"Are you kidding me? No way!" Zachary was maddened by her absence.

"There's nothing we can do but wait for her to come back," Anne said with a helpless shrug.

"Alisa will wake up any minute now. I should get her out of here first. Now that I know that her memory has been sealed, it will be easier to solve the problem. Meanwhile, I'll try to find the guy who sealed her memory." After bidding goodbye to Anne, Zachary took Alisa back to the system and then took her back to the real world.

He placed her on a flat rock outside the cave, and waited for her to wake up.

Not long after, she woke up with a light snort. Then, she blinked once and slowly opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?" Zachary asked with concern.

"I... What happened to me?" she asked in confusion, propping up her delicate body.
