Chapter 1413: Fabricated Life

Countless crystal-clear snowflakes were drifting outside the window, accumulating into a murky white storm, quickly blanketing the street in white and bringing a piercing chill.

Due to the existence of the Furnace Pillar, Old Dunling is shrouded in thick moisture all year round, making winters exceptionally cold.

“Perhaps this will be the hardest winter Old Dunling has faced in many years, I hope the listeners take appropriate measures to keep warm…”

The broadcaster’s worried voice echoed from the radio.

The aftermath of the storm still affects the city; many underground facilities are still heavily flooded, not to mention the widespread ruins and lingering Demon remnants that need to be dealt with, plus numerous other troublesome matters.

The influence of the Anti-Meme continues, the terrifying scenes of the Storm Day have been implanted in everyone’s minds. Now many people thank their survival, facing the coming winter with little expression, only monotonous numbness remains.

Some are overshadowed by gloom, while others find some light amidst the darkness.

“After the winter, it’s supposed to be the Divine Birthday, right?”

Shao Liangxi lay comfortably in the corner, covered with a warm blanket. The room appeared somewhat simple, with only essential furniture and nothing else. The fire in the fireplace burned quietly, spreading warmth.

“Hmm, the Divine Birthday is said to be the grandest festival of the year, everyone will return home to spend the silent night with their families.”

Shao Liangye’s voice sounded from the other side, sitting on a chair and meditating.

Under continuous severe damage, the Purification Mechanism couldn’t spare any extra effort to take care of these Jiuxia guests, so they were temporarily placed here. Fortunately, they didn’t mind much, as they were here to fight enemies, not for holiday.

“Sounds pretty good, family reunion…”

Shao Liangxi mumbled, trying to recall the so-called “family,” but only vague figures and a golden lake surfaced in her memory.

She knew she couldn’t figure it out, so she simply didn’t ponder it further.

“How long do you think we’ll be here?”

Shao Liangxi asked again. She’s a restless person, always full of energy, keeping such an unruly person here is sheer torture for her.

“Who knows? Just take it as a rest, such opportunities are rare.”

Shao Liangye said sullenly, he’s been gloomy like this for a long time. Although Shao Liangxi was used to his terrible expression, occasionally Shao Liangye would still show a smile, but ever since the storm, he’s been like this, as if he had some secret in his heart.

What secret could it be?

Shao Liangxi could guess, paradoxically, she was unclear about it.

As Anonymous, waking up from the hospital and seeing the amnesiac Rod and the blurring of her own memory, Shao Liangxi realized everything.

At the end of Storm Day, something must have happened. With her consent, Shao Liangye hid this matter forever.

Shao Liangxi was curious, wanted to ask, but every time she opened her mouth, she couldn’t help but pull back, thinking it must be a bad memory, curious yet fearful.

“Where’s Rod? I remember he just came here.”

Shao Liangxi looked towards the corner of the room. Rod forgot much more than she did, this unlucky mortal lost nearly a month’s memories, along with his familiarity with Shao Liangxi disappeared.

This sort of thing is rather sad, but Shao Liangxi probably got used to it all. She quickly accepted it, then began a second acquaintance.

However, this time, Shao Liangxi was more experienced, she appeared very enthusiastic. After all, she and Rod were already acquaintances, but to Rod, they were just strangers, such enthusiasm troubled and disturbed Rod, causing him to hide from Shao Liangxi lately.

“No idea, maybe he’s busy,” Shao Liangye said, “Now he’s managing our living arrangements.”

“Ahahaha.”

Shao Liangxi chuckled, only letting Rod serve as an interpreter seemed a bit of a waste in these circumstances, so recently Rod took charge of the guests’ daily lives, like a nanny being bossed by Shao Liangxi.

This is where Rod felt most uncomfortable, always thinking the Jiuxia person was bullying him, yet she seemed unaware of it, leaving Rod puzzled.

After laughing for a while, Shao Liangxi felt bored again; she leaned against the wall, twisting her head.

“How many times do you think our memories have been cut?”

Shao Liangxi regained her calm, asked.

“Thinking back carefully, I actually don’t have any sad memories, it’s as if my life was so smooth and happy without a trace of harm.”

Shao Liangye didn’t speak, remained silent.

He and Shao Liangxi maintained a perfect tacit understanding, or perhaps, every Anonymous was like this, they all knew what they lost but pretended nothing had happened, maintaining a facade of tranquility.

“But isn’t something too perfect somewhat false?”

Shao Liangxi looked out the window, snowflakes fell, clinging to the glass, emitting bursts of cold air.

Shao Liangye remained silent, he wasn’t good at speaking, let alone arguing with Shao Liangxi.
