"To recall trivial bits and pieces, you must be pretty amazing." You Huo said sarcastically.

Qin Jiu raised an eyebrow: "Are you always like this?"

"Like what?"

Qin Jiu pretended to think. He then dragged his words and described: "In order to anger someone, for example me, you would help speak for someone you don't know, for example Invigilator A? Honestly, it's quite childish of you."

"..."

Everyone glanced at the duo.

It really was quite ironic... because You Huo did know Invigilator A; after all, they were one and the same.

Then again... without his memories... did You Huo really know Invigilator A at all? After all, whatever he knew about Invigilator A was just hearsay from 021 and Qin Jiu, neither of which knew the truth behind what events had transpired.

But no one knew what had really happened to result in 001's injury and You Huo's expulsion from the System... and apparently, none of the other invigilators seemed to know You Huo that well either...

Considering that, even without his memories... arguably, it was still future amnesiac You Huo still knew Invigilator A the best.

...

Chu Yue glanced at 154 briefly; perhaps it was 154 and Chu Yue who knew Invigilator A the best, and not amnesiac You Huo...?

That was definitely a possibility.

You Huo snorted. He pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and chin and walked on: "My mouth belongs to me."

The wind in the arctic at night was so cold, it could make facial paralysis turn into true paralysis. No one wanted to speak in this environment.

The two walked on in silence for a while.

"..."

Everyone could tell that something was... off.

They just couldn't put their finger on it...

Without anyone speaking, the island seemed a little too quiet. Just like how it was when they first came ashore, it seemed to be missing something.

"Is it just me..." Someone whispered, "But why is it so... eerie.."

"Something is definitely missing..." Another hissed back, "But..."

"Why is it so... quiet?"

"..."

"Isn't being quiet... good?"

You Huo took a few more steps before coming to a sudden realization.

There were no sound of waves.

"..."

That got everyone to pause.

Because... that was a very good point.

They had experienced the turbulent waves on the small white ship, but it disappeared the moment they came ashore.

"Oh yeah..."

"Wasn't the turbulence so bad that even 154 was sick?"

154 did not have a good look on his face at that reminder. He wasn't sure why, but sometimes, he felt like he was still stuck on the ship, and could feel the violent swaying of the ship even as he sat down in the bean bag.
