HCB Chapter 134 Everyone's a Madman
Chapter 134 Everyone's a Madman
"Of course not." He Jinqiu suspected that Mu Yuanming's brain had really been damaged.
At that time, He Jingtang hadn't even returned to his dormitory, so how could he have witnessed this scene?
"What did you see?" He Jinqiu asked.
Mu Yuanming looked at Yan Xun and He Jinqiu. Reason told him that these two had no reason to lie to him about this matter, but the scene in his memory was so clear.
He hesitated for a moment, but still described what he had seen.
“I saw that when I was explaining to Yan Xun how to stack rings…” Mu Yuanming glanced at Yan Xun and gestured for Yan Xun to give him her hand.
Yan Xun was terrified. He didn't understand how Mu Yuanming had seen the scene from last week's episode... but he still handed his hand to Mu Yuanming.
“I remember, I put the ring here.” He took Yan Xun’s hand and pointed to the other’s ring finger. “Both rings, both are here.”
“That redhead rushed out and said it didn’t look good,” Mu Yuanming made a gesture of taking off a ring, pointing to Yan Xun’s index finger, “and then he moved the ring here.”
Mu Yuanming looked up at Yan Xun, "This didn't happen?"
Mu Yuanming's eyes were extremely dark, and when he looked up at Yan Xun like that, he gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Yan Xun looked away. "No."
“He Jingtang is not in the dormitory at this time.”
He didn't understand why Mu Yuanming in this timeline knew about the events that occurred last week.
Is there a bug in the dungeon?
Yan Xun then looked at He Jinqiu, "Right?"
"He Jingtang was not in the dormitory at that time."
He Jinqiu nodded.
It seems he didn't have the wrong time period of memory, Yan Xun thought.
Mu Yuanming frowned, tapping his head a few times with his fingers, as if he couldn't understand why he was experiencing such confused memories...
In the end, however, he convinced himself to attribute it to the effects of the car accident.
……
For the first time, Yan Xun found it troublesome not to have a system.
If the system were still running, he could ask the other party if there was a bug in the dungeon, otherwise how could an NPC have two timeline memories?
Logically, after the player chooses a new side quest, the NPC's memories should be refreshed again, returning to the time before the player's chosen branch. There shouldn't be two different time periods of memories appearing simultaneously.
Fortunately, Mu Yuanming did not delve into it; he seemed to regard it all as a sequela of the car accident.
I frantically studied all the knowledge about combinations in the living room.
For example, each member's preferences, their birthday, and each person's representative works, etc.
He discovered that one of Yan Xun's representative works was the movie he had co-starred in... Mu Yuanming's finger lingered on the movie's title for a moment, and then he noticed Yan Xun watching him from behind the sofa.
Before his finger had even left the introduction page, he naturally turned to look at Yan Xun, "What are you looking at?"
"Let's see how well you remember it." Yan Xun leaned on the back of the sofa with one hand while looking at the PDF that Song Baiyuan had sent to Mu Yuanming.
Song Baiyuan instructed Yan Xun to supervise Mu Yuanming, making sure he at least remembered the names and birthdays of all the members, and didn't forget the basic information.
After all, the agency is still claiming that Mu Yuanming was only in a car accident and suffered minor injuries, without mentioning his amnesia.
With only a month left before Mu Yuanming joins the crew, Song Baiyuan can only hope for a medical miracle, that the other party will regain his memory before joining the crew.
"I remember your name is Yan Xun, and your birthday is..."
Mu Yuanming turned to look at Yan Xun. He didn't look at the PDF on the tablet; instead, he recited all of Yan Xun's information from memory.
Yan Xun leaned back on the sofa, and Mu Yuanming looked up at her. "How is it?"
"I should be able to get full marks."
Yan Xun looked down at him, and Mu Yuanming did not avoid his gaze. "If you want to take credit, you can go to Song Baiyuan. I am only responsible for supervision, not for rewards."
Mu Yuanming was not surprised by Yan Xun's answer.
He suddenly had a prank idea, so he decided to scare Yan Xun.
"When I was in the car accident that day, I also saw something," Mu Yuanming suddenly said, "I saw a black cat..."
"It's not the one in the hospital, it's bigger."
"It wanted to kill me..."
"But something more evil killed it, and in the end it turned into that little black cat."
“I discovered that the black cat has an owner,” Mu Yuanming said, his gaze drifting towards He Jinqiu’s room. “Do you want to know who it is?”
"What are you referring to as something even more evil?"
"I don't know." Mu Yuanming avoided Yan Xun's gaze, put down his tablet, and stood up. "It might be a hallucination."
"After all, there are no ghosts or gods in the world."
He turned to Yan Xun and said, "Right?"
Yan Xun looked at Mu Yuanming and felt that this man practically had the words "I have a problem" written all over his body.
After He Jinqiu returned home, Yan Xun felt that the other party must have done something.
The black cat in the hospital looks exactly like the black cat that once appeared in He Jinqiu's house, but Yan Xun can tell that it is not He Jinqiu's unlucky brother.
It's more like the black cat in He Jinchun's room.
To find out what happened back then, besides asking He Jinqiu, the only other option is probably to find his brother.
"This is giving me a headache," Yan Xun thought.
Where can he find He Jinqiu's brother?
……
He Jingtang silently apologized to Yan Xun in his heart.
He turned on the security camera he had installed in his bedroom.
He was resting at the time, surrounded by staff coming and going. Probably no one would have guessed that this big star was monitoring his roommate's every move on his phone.
Seeing Yan Xun and Mu Yuanming's conversation last night, He Jingtang's fingers reflexively tapped the table, a gesture he made when he was thinking.
He had previously suspected that Mu Yuanming's amnesia was fake, but now he felt that the other party really had lost his memory.
He Jingtang hesitated.
But when He Jingtang saw Yan Xun searching for information about Mu Yuanming's parents on her phone, she decided to reveal some information to Yan Xun.
……
Yan Xun received a message from an unfamiliar base station number.
Mu Yuanming did not grow up abroad; he lived in China until he was 12 years old.
The message was completely out of the blue, and it seemed like some kind of hater had deliberately blurred the sender's name to send a reminder to Yan Xun.
Yan Xun glanced at the messages.
He was alone in the bedroom at that moment; Mu Yuanming was not there.
Yan Xun's gaze lingered on his own bed—or rather, He Jingtang's bed—for a moment—and then he gave the middle finger in a certain direction.
Then he covered up the pinhole camera he found.
He immediately sent a message to He Jingtang—
[Yan Xun: ? Are you sick?]
[He Jingtang: I'm just being cautious.]
[He Jingtang: I just forgot to remind you.]
[Yan Xun: ……………………]
Yan Xun was certain that his group was truly full of lunatics; not a single one of them was normal.
What a coincidence! I was just looking up information about Mu Yuanming in my bedroom yesterday, and today I received an anonymous message about his past.
To prevent crazed fans from secretly planting listening devices or hiding cameras in the dormitories, Song Baiyuan would definitely have people conduct regular dormitory checks.
After much thought, the only person who could install a camera without being detected was one of the bedroom's owners.
Mu Yuanming had almost forgotten who he was, so how could he possibly remember the camera?
Only He Jingtang could do that.
[Yan Xun: What's wrong with Mu Yuanming that makes you so wary?]
[He Jingtang: I can't say.]
[He Jingtang: After all, we're a fake boy band, so it's better to keep some secrets.]
