Betrothed?
The polite smile on Zong Jiu's face froze.
He was shocked speechless for three seconds by this appellation, and only then did he figure out the situation in a flash.
To be honest, after going through two dungeons, if it wasn't for No.2's sudden appearance, Zong Jiu would have forgotten that he was a transmigrator.
The magician's mind spun like crazy.
In the original text of "Thriller Trainee", there weren't many descriptions of characters with the same name as "Zong Jiu" and "Zong Jiu". After all, Zong Jiu didn't even finish the first dungeon, so there was a lot of information he didn't know.
In the first dungeon, the most impressive thing about the original host was that the author spent a lot of time describing his beauty. Other than that, it was just a low-level white lotus green tea vibe.
Although Zong Jiu felt that it was a bit strange to describe it like this, but up to the paragraph he read, the original owner really had this kind of personality.
"Thriller Trainee" directly described the original host as a coward. After entering the dungeon, he only wanted to take shortcuts and get a few flower protectors to protect him from the wind and rain.
The original host knew that his androgynous beauty was an advantageous weapon, so he wanted to use his beauty to suck up to others. Unfortunately, the two S-level players in the mental hospital dungeon didn't have such dirty thoughts. Zhuge An directly told him to step aside in disgust. Messiah laughed and said that she would treat all newcomers the same, so she ignored the original host's subconscious hints.
Zong Jiu remembered that there was also a description of a heart attack. The gist of it was that the original owner of the body used to be a beautiful person in the real world. He was a pampered young master of a large family and had never met a wall before. When he was young, he was so angry that he swore that he would seduce the strongest person in this broken game and then take revenge on those who couldn't afford to pay him back.
Zong Jiu, who read this paragraph, was speechless.
This was a typical cannon fodder thought, and it had the same name as "Zhuge An". Otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned the game.
In the end, the original owner of the body only managed to hug the thigh of a B or C grade trainee. In the middle of the night, he needed someone to accompany him to the toilet and became the first person to give away his head.
In summary, the original host was a beautiful and stupid cannon fodder. Not only did he have no brains, he also died quickly and wasn't worth the bet.
Therefore, after Zong Jiu transmigrated, he didn't pay attention to these things and directly walked the path to his own death.
Now that he looked back, things seemed to have taken a new turn.
Can someone tell him, how did a cannon fodder get involved with No.2 in the infinite loop???
Not to mention Zong Jiu, even Anthony, who was standing at the side, stared with his eyes wide open like copper bells.
He had been guessing why Her Highness would be so interested in this white-haired rookie, but the truth was that Her Highness was an old acquaintance in the real world!
Not only were they not acquaintances, they were also betrothed!
Anthony, who was called a barbarian, was dumbfounded.
He was now very glad that he chose to help Zong Jiu in the Barren Village Instance Dungeon instead of doing something behind his back. Otherwise, His Highness wouldn't be so easy to talk to now.
The tea room fell into an awkward silence. Only the sound of the teapot bubbling on the fire could be heard.
After a long time, Zong Jiu slowly said, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Then, before Fan Zhuo could speak, he immediately added, "My family said that I got into a car accident before entering the infinite loop and accidentally lost my memory."
Zong Jiu wasn't afraid that his lie would be exposed.
First of all, for Fan Zhuo to be so awesome in the infinite loop, he should have entered a long time ago. At the very least, he should have been here for a few years.
The original host waited until the scary trainee game to enter the infinite world, so there must have been a time difference. This time difference was the time for Zong Jiu to show his potential. In any case, Zong Jiu could make up whatever happened between Fan Zhuo and the real world.
What's more, Zhuge An had said that the main system would take the initiative to blur out the memories of those who sought to survive in the real world. Only when they encountered a familiar person would they unlock it. This also gave Zong Jiu space leeway.
In any case, even if Fan Zhuo racked his brains, he wouldn't be able to guess that he wasn't the original host, but a book transmigrator.
This was Zong Jiu's biggest secret. It wasn't that important, but it was definitely something that people would want to know.
The half-vampire in the grey military uniform narrowed his eyes.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife, like it was stabbing into Zong Jiu's body.
This explanation didn't make sense at all.
Even if a person's memory could change, how could their personality change 360 degrees?
Fan Zhuo said concisely, "Give me your hand."
Zong Jiu did as he was told.
In any case, no matter what happened, he could use amnesia as a panacea to deceive him. Transmigration novels didn't lie to me!
Magician's legs were fair and slender, and the lines on his body were taut and elegant. Every muscle was just right, and there was a sense of vigorous power hidden within.
After transmigrating, Zong Jiu's body didn't just look good, it also looked a lot younger. Most importantly, after the main system's repair, the magic tricks he practiced in his early years, as well as the hidden injuries he had from performing too hard, had all disappeared. Now, these hands could be said to be extremely nimble. All of the difficult card tricks that magicians in his previous world could easily be used.
Fan Zhuo's focus wasn't on these hands.
He was looking at the little finger bones of these hands.
At the end of the little finger bone, one could easily see that it had a different curvature than ordinary people.
Fan Zhuo was a bit silent.
The appearance and voice could be similar, but the traces on the body couldn't be faked.
"It's you."
He nodded lightly, his cold and hard face softening for a moment, "I haven't seen you for many years. You've grown up."
Zong Jiu:???
Good heavens, he thought that he was going to be exposed, but in the end, he just said that he hadn't seen him for many years.
Which family's betrothed couldn't see each other for many years? Could it be that she was a child bride?
What a pity, if he knew that Fan Zhuo was going to say this, Zong Jiu would have made up an excuse. "Actually, after you entered the infinite loop, the elders of our families canceled the engagement. You still don't know, right? I'm here to inform you."
But since he already said that he had amnesia, this excuse couldn't be used, so he could only drop it.
"We knew each other before? What does' betrothed 'mean? "
Zong Jiu decided to get some information about the original owner first. Otherwise, if someone called him 'betrothed' this time, with the original owner's fickle personality, he wouldn't be able to take it if someone called him 'sweetheart' next time.
The man in military uniform didn't say anything, but coldly glanced at Anthony, who was standing at the side with his nose lowered.
As No. 2's loyal right-hand man, Anthony immediately understood.
"This subordinate will take his leave."
He saluted and turned around, preparing to leave.
Zong Jiu called out to him, "Hey, hey, hey, wait."
The half-blooded man's back stiffened, and he slowly clenched his fists.
He wasn't going to make things difficult for him in front of His Highness, was he?
The ancients said that if a beauty whispered in the ear, the king wouldn't go to court early. If the magician was willing to list his crimes, he probably wouldn't be able to escape being oppressed by his bloodline.
But what he didn't expect was that Zong Jiu only said that he had something to ask him and asked him to wait for a moment.
Anthony let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Under His Highness' gaze, he hurriedly replied, "I'll wait outside for you to finish talking with His Highness. You can come find me when you're done." Only then did he run away.
Suddenly, there were only two people left in the tea room.
Fan Zhuo made a 'please' gesture. Zong Jiu didn't hesitate and directly sat down on the cloth sofa. Zong Jiu poured himself a pot of hot tea.
The story was long, but not long.
Zhuge An Zong said that the stronger one's overall strength was, the less effective the main system's blurry memories would be.
For example, Zhuge An, this guy's memories were nothing at all. Zong Jiu didn't say a single word in the mental hospital. He was just a white wolf disguised as Zong Jiu.
Like No. 2, he still remembered a lot of things from the real world.
Fan Zhuo entered the world of the Infinite Loop four years ago.
He said that Zong Jiu used to think that he was his childhood sweetheart. When they were young, because Zong Jiu was androgynous and his family liked to dress Zong Jiu up as a little girl, the two families verbally agreed to an engagement.
When the two of them grew up, both families had plans to break off the engagement, so they tacitly agreed to continue the engagement.
But in reality, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years.
Later, Fan Zhuo's father passed away, and he took control of a huge business empire. After calling the wind and calling the rain in Europe, he completely forgot about this matter.
What No. 2 Zong said was that before he entered the Infinite Loop, his subordinates had mentioned that this young master was pestering him to fulfill the engagement. Moreover, this young master had done some ridiculous things.
This was the reason why Fan Zhuo had hesitated to test Zong Jiu when they were in the Las Vegas casino.
But since Zong Jiu had lost his memory, there was no need to talk about this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, No. 2 Zong's emotions fluctuated.
Who needs to change one day?
Even if it was him, after entering the Infinite Loop, he had to start all over again. Not only did he have to fight on the battlefield of ten thousand people, he even had to accept the embrace of a vampire in order to survive. He broke away from the human category and became a monster that feared the sun. Compared to the past, he was now extremely cold.
As long as one entered the Infinite Loop and had a high position, who didn't shed a layer of skin?
"So it's like that."
Zong Jiu nodded and put down his teacup in confusion.
After carefully looking at Zong Jiu, after his appearance increased after transmigrating, there were some slight changes to his facial features. However, because of the original owner's eye-catching albino appearance, it was easy for people to overlook it.
In reality, if Zong Jiu's facial features were correct, the original owner had all the advantages of a mixed race: deep eye sockets, a high nose, and a slightly exotic facial features.
Now that Fan Zhuo said this, it all made sense.
In the real world, the original owner was probably a well-protected young master from a large family like Zong Jiu. Normally, this kind of family had a tradition of engagement, so it wasn't strange.
"So it's like this. Thank you for helping me out last time. "
Thinking of this, Zong Jiu spat out, "But since I've lost my memory and we haven't seen each other for many years, the engagement …"
"Right now, you and I are both helpless, so there's no point in talking about this."
Fan Zhuo lightly said, "If we're talking about blood relations, we can be considered relatives. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
