The Strange Old Man!

Lin Feng experienced two turning points: one was when he lost both parents as a child, and the other was when he was selected by 079 to participate in the game.

When he was a child, he came home from school and saw his uncle sitting in the hallway smoking.

Then he went to buy cigarettes for his uncle, and when he came back, his uncle and his parents had been burned to death.

After the fire, very little information could be gathered, and the police could only barely conclude that it was his uncle who set the fire.

Every time Lin Feng recalls this incident, his heart skips a beat.

His uncle acted very strangely that day, giving the impression that he had made up his mind to do something, but hesitated at the last moment.

Thick dark circles under his eyes, and an anxious look in his eyes.

He sent Lin Feng to buy cigarettes, deliberately distracting him so that Lin Feng could avoid the fire.

Was it his last vestige of conscience that was at work?

So many years have passed, and Lin Feng has kept this matter buried deep in his heart, to the point that he has almost forgotten about it.

Today, these long-faded memories reappeared before his eyes.

Just as Lin Feng was deep in thought, a soft cough came from behind him.

Lin Feng turned around abruptly and saw 009 appear behind him at some point. "Did you ask me about 081 during the day?"

Upon seeing that it was 009, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes."

009 came to his side and said, "Tell me, why did you suddenly ask about 081? I've never heard of this sequence before."

Lin Feng recounted his experiences during the day, adding that Qianhou and the others had forgotten about it. 009's expression turned strange upon hearing this.

"He said I wasn't qualified to see him?"

"Such arrogance."

"Now that you mention it, I really want to meet this Odin."

"Judging from what he said, it seems he came specifically for you. He said your uncle is a Sequence, which is interesting. I can help you avenge this grudge. Tell me what your uncle's name is."

"I'll kill him for you."

Lin Feng recalled for a moment, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his forehead.

"My uncle's name is... uh."

The name was on the tip of his tongue, but Lin Feng forgot it instantly.

"Strange... what was it called again?"

Lin Feng was somewhat dazed; it was truly a feeling that was on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't put it into words. He was certain he still remembered that name.

"His name is Chen... something again..."

"Chen what?"

009 was stunned for a moment.

Lin Feng shook his head. "I can't remember, but I do remember that my uncle's surname should be Chen."

"Is your surname Chen?"

009 stood up, and for some reason, his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

Lin Feng nodded. "That's all I can think of for now. Do you know who else in the sequence has the surname Chen?"

009 looked away. "I don't know... I don't really know. The Chen family's lineage? I've never heard of that before."

"Lin Feng, you should get some rest. I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of."

009 was about to leave after saying that, but Lin Feng stopped him. "You must have the answer already, so why won't you tell me?"

009 looked at Lin Feng, "Did I say I knew?"

009's eyes had already betrayed him. Lin Feng sighed, "Then I'll guess myself. That person became a sequence before me. He must be very strong. He's a fifth-order rank. No... you certainly wouldn't consider a fifth-order rank a threat."

"That's the sixth rank?"

But surely it shouldn't be at the sixth rank? They mentioned the sixth rank before, and 009 seemed eager to try it out, wanting to see if his God-Slaying Spear could kill a sixth-rank enemy.

Or rather, the issue isn't about the level of the enemy, but rather what capabilities the other party possesses that make 009 want to avoid them at all costs.

Seeing Lin Feng's unwilling expression, 009 was also sweating bullets. No matter what surname he had, 009 would dare to mess with him, but he would wilted as soon as the surname Chen was mentioned.

Because among the people he knew in the sequence, there was only one with the surname Chen.

If that person is Lin Feng's enemy, then 009 can only say it's a private matter.

As for his previous statement about helping Lin Feng kill that person, just ignore it.

Os Kate.

It is the name Number 000, and only a few people know that his real name is Chen Ye.

If Lin Feng is seeking revenge on Chen Ye, then 009 is a little curious: how exactly has Lin Feng survived until now?

And it can even become a sequence?

All the medicines were made by Chen Ye.

No, that's not right.

Is Chen Ye his uncle?

So he's Chen Ye's nephew, isn't that a mistake?

009 was immediately thrown into a brainstorming session.

"Besides his surname being Chen, what else do you know about your uncle? What was his previous job, hobbies, and what did he usually do?"

Lin Feng recalled, "I remember he was a biology professor at some university."

"He doesn't drink alcohol, but he smokes frequently and has some minor lung problems. He enjoys drinking coffee and observing birds, which is also related to his work."

"I vaguely remember him keeping a lot of birds at home, wait, I suddenly remember, my uncle's name is..."

"Stop!"

009 interrupted Lin Feng directly, and at the same time, he reached out and patted Lin Feng's shoulder.

"You know that's enough. You don't need to tell me. I don't know this person. You haven't spoken to me today, and I've never seen you before. Do you understand?"

After saying that, 009 hurriedly left.

He's obsessed with Chen Ye now, the biology professor who loves coffee and keeps a lot of birds at home.

There's no need to continue this conversation.

Lin Feng was also puzzled. Why would 009, who was fearless, show such an expression?

The next day.

When Lin Feng woke up, he saw a piece of paper on his desk.

He picked up the paper and saw that it was covered in his own handwriting, but the things written on it were completely nonsensical.

"Did I write this?"

When was it written?

Lin Feng was puzzled. There were many things recorded on it, but he had no recollection of any of them.

He continued reading and came across a self-written diary entry.

It's a diary entry about what happened after chasing those two people yesterday. It says that he encountered an old man who called himself xxx.

It was also written that Qianhou and the others had all lost their memories.

xxx?

Was that name erased by some force?

Lin Feng frowned. "My memory has been erased?"

Of course, memory erasure is not terrible, but the words written on paper being erased is a bit too eerie!

A town or village within the territory of a certain country on the Outer Sea Continent.

The corpses were piled up into a small mountain, and they were already rotting, emitting a stench. Countless flies and maggots swarmed around the corpses, making the scene even more disgusting.

The Blasphemous Twins sat atop the pile of corpses, one holding a head in one hand and the other a crystal ball in the other.

"This thing is actually worshipped as a divine artifact, but I don't think it's of any use."

"Let's smash it. Let's go on another round today and bring back something else."

"Support."

The two were talking about smashing the crystal ball when Nage, one of the twins, suddenly frowned and looked to the side.

In the distance, in the shadow of a house, stood an old man.

"How come one was missed?"

"Who knows? Just finish them off."

As soon as the two finished speaking, an irresistible force suddenly struck, grabbing the twins into the air and then slamming them heavily to the ground!

At that very moment, the old man in the shadows appeared before them as if by teleportation, his hands behind his back, his smile terrifying.

"Nage and Yebu, it's laughable that you don't even have the word 'dragon' in your names, yet you're so devoted to serving the Dragon God."

Upon hearing the old man's words, the Blasphemous Twins tried to struggle, but found themselves unable to move!

The old man sneered, "Heh, without the power of sequence, even fourth and fifth rank are nothing but ants."

Yebu roared, "Who are you?!"

The old man raised his palm, and the bodies of the Blasphemous Twins floated up. "Who I am is not important. Anyway, you will soon forget everything that is about to happen."

"Be grateful, it is your honor."
