Lu Li spoke calmly and at the same time, he opened the wooden box containing the eyeballs.
People in the wooden house looked at each other, and Locke said: "I don't know, it must be very late?"
They realized something strange: they entered the first level of the competition in the early morning, and then entered the strange jungle near noon. According to the continuation of time, it should still be noon and not night.
"16:40 PM." The businessman brought back bad news.
"Where was the last time I called you before entering the strange jungle?"
"wetlands."
This part can still be matched.
"How long has it been since now?"
"...28 hours and 15 minutes." Businessman Anthony said after a slight pause in calculation.
"This is impossible..."
There were murmurs of surprise in the wooden house.
No one can remember a lost day. Time is distorted, or... they lose part of it.
"We have lost many memories, including the experience of the second level." Lu Li whispered quietly as he thought about it.
So the note in the forest cabin said the third level, because they lost the memory of the second level; so Lu Li felt like he was separated from the world by a mist, and he lost a lot of memories.
"Perhaps this is the 'meaning' of the third level." Willett Marvin said slowly at this time: "The forest cabins scattered in the strange dense forest store our lost memories."
"You have three days to escape from this prison. If you don't leave at the end of time... you will stay here forever.'" Narrating the note, Ole Lorenzo thoughtfully said: "There is no reason for the competition to keep us forever."
Stay...So this reminder may be understood to mean that if we do not retrieve the memory within three days, the lost memory will disappear completely."
A new question extends from this: There are four forest huts on the road ahead. Will all the memories be restored after they arrive?
A few minutes later, the businessman Anthony brought many notebooks and pens and distributed them to each of his companions, including Root.
It suspects that the clumsiness of human speech is related to the loss of memory.
Regardless of memory loss or recovery, it is difficult to realize that memories are impressions that exist in the mind. They are connected like a spider web, and occasionally converge into nodes due to connections. When memories are generated, they will unconsciously extend nearby memories along the spider web. Time will wear away the memory, and the connected spiders
The threads become thinner or even disappear, leaving only unforgettable nodes.
So what they need to record are these nodes.
For Lu Li, he needs to write down every event he has experienced and the people he has interacted with.
When writing the memory nodes, Lu Li thought about Mildred Hempree asking him to go to the garbage house to read useless knowledge before setting off. Did he foresee this scene happening?
Remembering Claire who was still looking for an exit in the first level, Lu Li took out [Linda's Alchemy Notes] and wrote down the information on the second level.
It was one of the objects given by Claire's mother, the vice-president of Giant Tree Academy and the alchemy professor Chris.
【I will pay attention, your memory has not been lost, right?】
The reply quickly appeared, and Lu Li wrote: "Part of it is missing, and I'm looking for it in the third level."
【What bad luck, wait until I come over to help you!】
Putting away his notes, Lu Li went through the notes that recorded names and events and made supplements.
Nothingness and darkness surged outside the forest hut. The wooden door was open. If there was a sound from outside, they would be able to detect it immediately.
In any case, only Lu Li could walk in the strange dense forest at night. They could only rest here for one night and wait until the next morning before embarking on a journey to find memories.
The fireplace burned in the darkness, releasing firelight and warmth. People leaning against the wall rested quietly, with occasional whispers.
Two contestants who met each other from Giant Tree Academy told each other's stories and tried to piece together the lost memory fragments.
As the story progressed, the topic inevitably fell on Lu Li. I felt that Lu Li was least affected by amnesia. Everyone knows Lu Li's story and his experience, which has become a part of history.
Only the emotional Ole Lorenzo doesn't think so.
Memory will be remembered because of the emotion it carries. When the emotion is no longer there, there is no difference between memory and the pale words in a biography.
…
A cabin in the woods is a safe haven.
The peaceful and peaceful night passed, and when the silence and darkness faded away, everyone in the wooden house woke up from their light sleep one after another.
Ole Lorenzo is preparing sumptuous food. The first two levels have been passed, it is the last level and the end is in sight, there is no need to save resources.
Although the shadow of memory loss still hangs over them, the morning atmosphere and the aroma of food, which symbolize hope, gradually warm up the atmosphere, and the barriers between the camps have also faded a lot.
For example, Lu Li saw the shadow of dog meat in Lu Te's devouring food.
After a hearty breakfast, they put out the fireplace, left the forest hut where they stayed for the night, and continued northward under the protection of Lu Li.
Twenty minutes later, they entered the fourth to last forest hut, which was deserted, and eagerly took out their notes to compare.
Some people have recovered memories that were not written in their notes, while others have not yet noticed that the recovered memories have not yet been discovered. Lu Li belongs to the latter group.
After a short stay, they continued to set off, arriving at the third to last forest hut half an hour later. Here, Lu Li restored the memory of Claire's mother, Professor Chris.
Root has recovered even more: his fluent human language is proof of this. And he no longer shows slight hostility and wariness towards them. The memory he lost is part of the friendly relationship between humans.
There are still two forest huts left in front.
Because of Lu Li, their "journey to retrieve memories" went smoothly and peacefully. When they arrived at the last forest hut, they were able to see behind the gap between the terrifying giant trees, and outside the strange dense forest, there was a bright open space that symbolized hope and light.
Conflicting emotions emerged in their hearts, consisting of longing for an exit and worries about unrecovered memories.
What is certain is that their memories have not been fully restored: the memory of the second level.
But none of them want to return to the depressing and despairing weird jungle behind them.
Make sure you have not lost any important memories of family, love, friendship, and hatred that still exist deep in your mind. There is no need to take risks for some useless memories.
And Lu Li has yet to recover a crucial memory: about Anna.
"Your stories are recorded in many biographies about you, as well as those love stories with you as the protagonist..."
They comforted Lu Li and approached the exit. Then they stopped and looked at Lu Li, who did not leave with them.
"You guys go out."
Lu Li looked back at the quiet, dark forest. Deep in the terrifying giant tree, it seemed like a figure in a white dress stood quietly, waiting for him.
