After a brief exchange, Yang Xiao confirmed that Datou had also lost his past memories, just like the tavern owner, which meant he was also a product of Ghost Island's reset.
Datou was dead, perishing under the cliffs last night—an unchangeable fact.
Sopa clung tightly to Datou, unwilling to let go for a long time, as if this were a dream, and once awakened from it, the siblings would never reunite again.
In this short time, Yang Xiao didn't waste any moment; he discreetly probed Datou and the tavern owner for information. Through their responses, Yang Xiao keenly noticed that parts of their memories had been scrambled with past realities.
For instance, in Datou's memory, Hafeez's appearance was not abrupt, as if originally, the four of them had descended upon the island together.
This ghostly place was strange, filled with long nights and many dreams. Yang Xiao stepped forward and tactfully reminded Sopa that they should attend to the business at hand.
