Ye Chen continued to press:
"What happened after that?"
Daigrick added:
"After that... you said you had something to take care of outside, so you told us to eat dinner first. We wanted to wait and eat with you when you came back, but you didn't return until much, much later. And when you did, you were all muddled and dazed.

After listening to the Daig Family's account of last night, Ye Chen's brow furrowed even more deeply.
He had a feeling that the truth was nothing like this.
Last night should have been far crueler, far more painful.
Seeing Ye Chen's frazzled state, Daigman looked at him with concern.
"Ye Chen, are you all right? Should I take you to see a doctor?"
Faced with the old man's kindness, Ye Chen gently shook his head.
"No, I'm fine. Maybe I just had a nightmare last night. I'll be okay once I rest for a while."
Daigman nodded skeptically.
"I see. All right, then... but no matter what, I think you should eat something."
Ye Chen sighed softly.
"I'm still not hungry, but I'd like a glass of water. Is that okay?"
"Of course!"
Daigman readily agreed, hurriedly poured Ye Chen some warm water, and carefully placed it in his hands.
"Here, it was boiled not long ago. Be careful, it's hot."
"Thank you."
Ye Chen took the warm water. As he looked at his reflection in the cup, countless fragments of memory suddenly flashed through his chaotic mind.
The scene where he discovered that the entire world was strange.
The scene where he went to Sin City's Upper District.
The scene where he met and spoke with the Butcher Hunter in the office.
And
