Chapter 291: A Small Damage

Smog was everywhere. At the outer layer of the Nether Capital, a group of silhouettes were quietly hiding somewhere.
”Is the captain not back yet?”
”Soon.”
”Try urging him.”
”All right.”
”This is a mission issued by the leader himself. We must not allow anything to go wrong.”
”Understood. But then, does necromancy truly exist?”
”Shh.” The one leading them glared at him. ”It is not our place to discuss about this.”
”All right.”
At that, they shut their mouths in fear.
Shua!
Once again, they concealed themselves. Around them, a terrifying aura started spreading, akin to a huge beast that was about to wake up. Only their bright eyes could be seen clearly, pairs of eyes that were glimmering amidst the darkness.
Distantly, the Nether Capital, enveloped in smog, appeared even more unclear now.
Soon, a silhouette appeared. After they reorganized their group, they stepped into the smog-filled area.
Howl—
The air trembled.
The huge skeleton beast stepped out of the darkness.
”Undead life form?”
A trace of joy appeared on their faces.
If even such a life form from the legends had appeared here, it was quite probable that necromancy would truly appear here. The style of construction here appeared to be from a somewhat different era, though.
”Go!”
”Deal with him!”
”He might have the thing we need on his body,” the captain ordered coldly.
”All right.”
Everyone else followed the command.
Shua!
Shua!
A terrifying power bloomed within the darkness.
At this instant, these people, whose existences were nearly untraceable, unleashed an extremely formidable power. Even the weakest among them was B class.
Bang!
Bang!
The huge skeleton beast howled.
Its bones were crushed and started glimmering amidst the darkness.
Howl—
An astonishingly large death aura bloomed. Next, a huge battle broke out.
As of now, within the Nether Capital, Chen Feng and the rest had only found out about the secret of this city. The waiter that they had clearly interacted with yesterday had actually completely forgotten about them today. As for his dialogue, it was exactly the same as what he had said yesterday.
”Perhaps, he can't remember us because he has too many customers?” Xu Fei guessed.
Chen Feng shook his head. ”That's not possible. It might be possible for him to forget about others, but as for us, the way we are dressed and the way we behave are completely different from the others around here. It is simply impossible for him to not recognize us. Besides that, his gaze when looking at us appeared incredibly unfamiliar,” Chen Feng analyzed calmly.
Wang Chun was alarmed. ”What on earth is going on here?”
”We will find out after taking a walk around,” Chen Feng said. ”It is possible that this waiter is the problematic one.”
”Mhm.”
Everyone agreed.
Soon, they reached the street. They tried doing the same thing they had done yesterday, and they found that everyone here had truly forgotten about them, regardless of what the person's profession was! This was simply not the problem of that waiter alone. Rather, nobody in this city knew them from yesterday.
”Memory erased?” This thought surfaced in Chen Feng's brain. Could it be that every single resident of this city had had their memory erased while sleeping at night? Or perhaps, for some reason, they were unable to keep any memories regarding outsiders?
This was possible as well.
But this train of thought only lasted one whole minute. Once again, Chen Feng saw the familiar carts trying to leave the city. Once again, he saw the quarrel at the market. At this moment, he had a faint idea of what had actually happened here.
The memories of the residents here hadn't been cleared. Rather, they were reliving the same day!
To verify his guess, Chen Feng took the same route they had taken yesterday, and he found that everything that had happened yesterday happened today as well!
For example, the quarrel between Aunty Wang and Aunty Zhang due to a cucumber at the market.
For example, the tofu shop boss that was beaten in the street by his jealous wife.
All these incidents were reenacted. Everything was exactly the same as yesterday.
If they had only had their memories cleared to forget about Chen Feng's group, how was it possible for them to redo the same thing they had done yesterday? This place…
Xu Fei pointed somewhere. ”Look.”
There, the carts were still stopped when they tried to leave the city.
