Chapter 315: #315 - How do you know me?

On this island, time endlessly repeats the same story.

A human exploration team is on a treasure hunt, following a two-legged elephant.

The captain is a taciturn middle-aged man who, despite the freezing temperatures, wears only a vest, revealing his pale, goosebump-covered flesh.

"Captain, should we head back? I've heard this island is very ominous," said a chubby young man.

It's unclear how he joined the team; the captain looks old enough to be his father.

Everyone continued forward, a man casting a disdainful glance at him.

"If you're a coward, don't come."

Just then, the group halted, their path blocked by a person.

During expeditions, encountering others is inevitable, but it's always wise to be cautious when venturing out.

Society is cruel, and without a sharp mind, survival is impossible, especially since some exploration teams often fight over spoils.

Stories of disposing of bodies are common and hardly new.

Qiang Wu warily eyed the person before him, and the group stopped.

"Is that the Town Suppressing King?!"

The chubby boy exclaimed, and the faces of the others instantly changed.

"Hey, kid, don't talk nonsense. How could it be the Town Suppressing King!"

"It is the Town Suppressing King!"

The chubby boy repeated with conviction.

Hesitation flickered across the faces of the others.

Although this chubby kid wasn't very useful, merely a punching bag in the team, with only his toad being of any use,

he didn't seem like the type to spout wild tales, even in fear, he would speak the truth.

Could it be that this young man standing before them was truly the Town Suppressing King?

That dark-element True King?

Are you saying that the dignified True King had nothing better to do than come to such a small island?

Could it be that this island truly holds extremely rare resources, enough to make even the Town Suppressing King envious?!

The expressions on their faces shifted constantly.

Weighing the pros and cons, they all looked at Qiang Wu, after all, Qiang Wu was the captain, the backbone of the team.

Qiang Wu winked at the others.

This island might genuinely have something special, but clearly, it wasn't meant for them.

With the Town Suppressing King's arrival, they would likely have to relinquish any claim.

After all, the opponent's strength was too great, and they clearly understood the difference between survival and petty gains.

As the group was in the midst of a mental storm, Qian Er's face showed a strange expression.

"You recognize me?"

Seeing Qian Er's reaction, Qiang Wu and the others finally confirmed his identity.

"It really is the Town Suppressing King!"

"Greetings, Great King!"

They instantly knelt on the ground, kowtowing vigorously.

It wasn't so much that they had great respect for Qian Er, but rather that they had an extremely strong desire to live!

This was not someone who reasoned; if he was unhappy, he would eliminate them.

Out in this wilderness, they would have nowhere to cry!

"No, that's not right."

Qian Er shook his head.

"You don't recognize me."

It seemed that although most of these people didn't know who was standing before them, they had all heard of the "Town Suppressing King," and that chubby kid had even recognized him directly.

These people had died ten years ago, how could they recognize him or have heard of him at this time?

More than a decade ago, he didn't even exist in this world!

His King Conferral Ceremony had only happened recently!

"What are you saying? Of course, we recognize you..."

Qiang Wu said, his expression suddenly changing, as if he had thought of something.

Could it be that he was going to kill them to silence them?!

Thinking of this, Qiang Wu's body trembled violently, looking at Qian Er in fear.

"Don't misunderstand, cooperate a little, and I won't kill you."

Qian Er looked at them and asked.

"Since you know the Town Suppressing King, how do you know about me? What's the source? Tell me."

The others raised their heads, looking at Qian Er, their faces showing incomprehension, obviously not understanding what Qian Er meant, but not daring to ask.

"What are you saying..."

"I mean, how did you hear about me? And, chubby kid, how did you recognize me?"

Qian Er's questioning stunned them.

They began to look thoughtful, stammering for a long time, and Qian Er waited for their answers.

But, in the end, they couldn't give a coherent explanation.

Then, strange changes began to occur in their bodies.

In Qian Er's eyes, it was like seeing the color bars that appear when a TV show is interrupted, like the mosaic that appears when a DVD is forced to play after not being cleaned for too long.

A harsh sound rang in his ears, like someone scratching a chalkboard with their fingernails, causing an extremely strong physiological discomfort.

"I... I..."

"I..."

The bodies of several people flickered constantly, but the surrounding scenery remained as usual.

Only these people in front of Qian Er seemed to be from another world.

After an unknown amount of time, they returned to normal, but no one could answer Qian Er's question.

The question seemed to have stumped them all.

"How do you know about the Town Suppressing King?"

Qian Er's voice sounded again.

The few people racked their brains, as if this question was comparable to advanced mathematics, and finally, the chubby kid muttered.

"We just know..."

They looked at the chubby kid in shock, as if he was already a dead man.

These people now looked so normal, like the ordinary people Qian Er had encountered in this world, even their attitude towards Qian Er was exactly the same.

It was as if they didn't know anything about what had just happened.

But Qian Er could guarantee that everything he had seen was real, those strange flickers on their bodies, like a signal interruption, and that harsh sound in his ears.

Could it be that there was a bug in this world?

He was somewhat disappointed at not getting what he wanted, and ultimately, he decided to stay here to see how the story would develop.

Would rewriting himself in this story break the cycle?

"Forget it, I won't ask you about this. Just do what you were doing."

Qian Er said, turning and leaving.

Watching his figure gradually disappear, Qiang Wu took a long time to react.

The others stared at each other in bewilderment.

They muttered and whispered to each other in place, the topic revolving around Qian Er, who had appeared and then inexplicably left.

And everything they said did not escape the ears of Qian Er, who was hiding in the shadows.
