After selectively forgetting about Nyarlathotep, Cheng Yu watched the "Monitor," searching for Shui Feifei.
What he saw was that player leading Shui Feifei to a lake in the forest outside the capital.
Gazing at the crystal-clear, emerald-green lake and the woods around it, a world that looked like a painting, Shui Feifei fell into a daze.

Xiao Ming nodded.
"Yeah, I spawned here, and I've hardly ever gone far from this place."
Shui Feifei frowned and asked,
