Chapter 322

Sister Yuanyuan's reaction was too real.

Whether it was astonishment, surprise, or something else. It didn't look like it was acted out.

Qin Feng also didn't think she was acting.

If this could be acted out. Then Qin Feng could only say.

Even if he were to fall here, he would not be falling in vain.

Sister Yuanyuan did not know what had happened.

She did not know why she had been moved from the dining area to the activity room.

Nor why the young man brought back by Bai Tian was looking at her with such vigilance.

Qin Feng, for his part, was clearly caught off guard by Sister Yuanyuan's sudden change.

He was not even sure if the Sister Yuanyuan before him was the same Sister Yuanyuan he had met during the day.

The two of them, both looking bewildered, eventually decided to sit on the floor.

They sat facing each other, yet naturally maintained a distance.

For Qin Feng, it was only natural to be wary of Sister Yuanyuan.

But for Sister Yuanyuan, she was consciously aware of her own problem.

Thus, she kept as much distance from Qin Feng as possible to avoid harming him should she change again.

It must be said that this young girl, Sister Yuanyuan, was truly kind and gentle.

She was so kind and gentle that Qin Feng felt she was a girl who had grown up in love, untainted by the dust of the world and having never encountered setbacks.

She held goodwill toward everything and trusted in everything.

Such traits were indeed enviable and could allow one to live well in a beautiful world.

But if those around her harbored even the slightest malice, it could easily cause her great harm.

Compared to Sister Yuanyuan, who had just woken up and knew nothing, Qin Feng was clearly better suited to speak first.

He recounted everything in detail, from the two of them eating, to him pushing open the tent to discover the changes outside.

Then to Sister Yuanyuan's transformation after he spoke that sentence upon returning.

And finally to him using another word to restore Sister Yuanyuan to normal.

He went through the entire process without missing a single detail.

He only deliberately avoided the phrase "night falls."

Instead, he used a metaphor to tell Sister Yuanyuan that this phrase must not be spoken, as saying it would trigger her transformation.

Although it was a metaphor, Qin Feng had made himself very clear.

So, Sister Yuanyuan naturally understood.

She understood Qin Feng's implication.

At the same time, although Sister Yuanyuan was kind and innocent, she was a very intelligent girl.

When Qin Feng mentioned this point, she suddenly recalled the very strange things that had happened to her in the past.

Previously, she had never paid them any mind, nor had she thought in that direction.

So she hadn't felt there was a problem, but now that she thought about it, the problem was huge.

"To tell you the truth, I have never seen what that looks like."

"It seems that in my world, it is always daylight."

"I don't know what that is like, nor do I know what it's like to be unable to see, as you described."

Sister Yuanyuan's words also indirectly proved that it wasn't just on the day Qin Feng was there.

On all days, Sister Yuanyuan was like this.

As soon as night arrived, as soon as it grew dark, or even upon hearing the words "night falls,"

she would undergo a change and become another version of herself.

And during this process, the young girl Sister Yuanyuan had no memory whatsoever.

That was why she had no impression or concept of the night.

"What should I do? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Should we go to the neighbors' houses and see?"

"See if they change at night, and ask them if they know about my situation."

Sister Yuanyuan said, at a loss.

She was scared, very scared.

She did not know what she had done after turning into that monster.

But through Qin Feng's account, she could tell it must have been aggressive and harmful.

She did not want to hurt anyone, and she did not know if she had hurt those around her in the past.

"No, I've already told you what the situation is like outside."

"Once you go out, you will turn into that other person again."

"And it's like that everywhere outside; I'm not sure if just a word will be enough to change you back."

"So you must stay in a place with light, don't run around, and don't open the tent flap."

Because she was too scared, Sister Yuanyuan hadn't thought of this for a moment.

But Qin Feng couldn't have failed to think of it.

He would absolutely not let Sister Yuanyuan run around outside.

Once she ran out, no one knew what would happen, or if she would even be able to return.

Even without a mission, he did not want the kind and beautiful girl Sister Yuanyuan to meet with an accident because of his story.

That would make Qin Feng feel deeply guilty and uneasy.

It would likely become a thorn in his heart forever.

"Then what should I do? I can't go on like this forever."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Sister Yuanyuan also realized this point.

Naturally, she obeyed and didn't dare to go out.

But the problem was, if they didn't go out,

then they would have to stay in the tent forever.

And they wouldn't dare to extinguish the lights, unable to do anything.

Even sitting here for the whole night would be useless.

For Qin Feng, his mission would never make any progress.

And for Sister Yuanyuan, this would make it impossible for her to live in peace ever again.

And even more impossible to face the others in the tribe.

"You go to sleep, I'll keep watch."

After the girl asked in a daze what she should do, Qin Feng suddenly said this.

Actually, the girl hadn't been asking Qin Feng just now.

It was just her talking to herself in her confusion.

After all, even she didn't know what to do; how would a stranger like Qin Feng, who had only arrived a day ago, know?

But unexpectedly, Qin Feng answered her with a straight face, and the answer was so bizarre.

"Sleep? In this situation, how could I possibly fall asleep? I'm very worried and scared."

"What if I fall asleep and turn into that monster again to hurt you?"

Sister Yuanyuan strongly disagreed with this.

"Don't forget, you once said that after that, it was time to rest."

"What does 'rest' mean? Does it mean to sleep?"

"In that situation, when you specifically said that sentence, I don't think it was just a casual remark."

"In fact, by telling you to sleep, I also want to verify if any changes will occur after falling asleep."

"Either changes will happen after I fall asleep, or changes will happen after you fall asleep."

Seeing Sister Yuanyuan was very confused, Qin Feng naturally explained it thoroughly.

He was very concerned about the sentence that strange girl had said earlier.

That "rest," generally speaking, meant either sleep or death.

But Qin Feng couldn't use death to conduct an experiment, so he could only use sleep.

"But after you fall asleep, it's unknown whether I will turn into a monster and kill you, so it's more appropriate for me to sleep first."

The girl Sister Yuanyuan indicated that she understood.
