Book 7: Chapter 1:2: Memories Finally Awakened, Part 2
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Could you please stop talking while using my appearance and display name?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Ah, its Shiki. Dont pay too much attention to these details. Besides, there are some differences between us.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Like?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: I have long hair, you have short hair. I wear a kimono, you wear a jacket. By the way, let me tell you a secret. Guys prefer girls of my type.
Workaholic Gil: I feel like guys might be offended.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Youre not human; you shouldnt talk.
Workaholic Gil: Tsk.
Kazuma the Brute: Gilgamesh probably wants to scold Root a bit, but hes scared because Root is the world consciousness of their world, so he doesnt dare.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Theres no need to be afraid. If you have something to say, just say it. Rest assured. Im not that petty.
Workaholic Gil: Ill take that seriously. I have no objections.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, you guys can continue chatting. Im getting ready to purchase the memory awakening service now. Trashy Holy Grail.
Lord of the White Night: Dont say that. The Holy Grail is actually quite powerful. It can at least allow Magi to enter the Root.
Efreet: Enter? In what sense?
Magus of Flowers: Itsuka Kotori, youre quite experienced.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Thanks, I feel so offended.
Faillen Angel Gabriel: Now, lets welcome the victim to speak, Root. May I ask, Root, how many people have entered the Root before?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Can I choose not to answer? Let me tell you, even though Im not human, I can get angry.
Solomon: Scary.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Doctor Roman, would you like to self-destruct again?
Solomon: Im sorry; I was wrong.
Workaholic Gil: And you said you didnt hold grudges?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Huh?
Workaholic Gil: Pretend I didnt say anything.
Chen Heng felt that the people in this group had a knack for asking questions from unusual angles, turning seemingly normal questions into slightly suggestive ones. They were exceptionally talented individuals.
Chen Heng opened the Dimension Administrators Associations store and purchased the recovery service he had already added to his cart, and just like that, 10,000 points were gone.
In the blink of an eye, 10,000 points were spent, and initially, Chen Heng felt nothing after the purchase. He almost thought he had been scammed.
But just as Chen Heng was wondering why there was no response, his vision went black, and he passed out.
Before losing consciousness, Chen Hengs last thought was, Did someone just hit me on the back of my head with a hammer?
Of course, this was just a sensation. The reason for this outcome was the service Chen Heng had purchased for 10,000 points. It had replayed all of Chen Hengs experiences from age one to his early twenties in a straightforward and crude manner. While effective, this abrupt influx of memories placed a significant burden on Chen Hengs mind.
Fortunately, Chen Heng was awakening his memories in his own bed, so he didnt spend the night on the floor.
------
Ouch. Chen Heng awakened from unconsciousness sometime later, feeling a bit of a headache.
Little Li, water Oh, almost forgot, Ive recovered my memories. I remember now. Upon regaining consciousness, Chen Heng instinctively called out for Luo Li, but midway through, he recalled his current situation.
In fact, before Luo Li reset the world, Chen Heng could be considered quite useless, practically spoiled rotten by Luo Li. He could hardly cook, and Luo Li took charge of washing clothes. Initially, Chen Heng took care of Luo Li, but later on, it was Luo Li who took care of him. Chen Heng nearly became a useless freeloader, relying on Luo Li for everything.
However, even though Chen Heng couldnt cook, he could wash dishes. Yes, Chen Heng felt he was still somewhat useful. Thats right; that was how it was.
Just now, Chen Hengs actions after his memories awakened were simply a habit he had formed before the world reset. However, while Chen Heng was in the middle of it, he suddenly realized his current situation.
It was already after the world reset, and Luo Li had grown into the famous Time Witch. He had been away from her for a long time, and these little habits should no longer exist, right?
Moreover, before the world reset, Chen Heng and Luo Li didnt live in this house but in an apartment allocated to them by the Special Affairs Bureau in the capital. At that time, Luo Li had a key to Chen Hengs room, and their units were very close. If Chen Heng called out, Luo Li could hear him. Now, Chen Heng couldnt remember if he had given Luo Li a key to his room.
Elder Brother, water.
Uhthanks! A glass of water was handed to Chen Heng, and he instinctively took it and started drinking.
Cough, cough! As Chen Heng drank halfway, he suddenly realized Luo Li was standing there. Due to the sudden surprise, he started coughing.
Maybe because of the awakening of his memories, Chen Hengs mind was still a bit sluggish.
Elder Brother, tissue. Luo Li produced a tissue from somewhere and handed it to Chen Heng.
Little Li, how did you get in here? I remember locking my door, and how did you hear my voice? Chen Heng wiped his mouth with the tissue after receiving it.
As for the first question, the door cant stop me. As for the second, its a matter of foresight. When I saw Elder Brother being his usual useless self, I figured you must have regained your memories. Luo Li calmly stated the words that made Chen Heng very concerned.
Cough! Cough! Cough! What do you mean by usual useless self? Even if we have a great relationship, I might just have to sue you for slander if you defame me like this. Chen Heng attempted to counter Luo Lis words, but his voice faded away.
Lets not dwell on that. I have indeed recovered my memories. Chen Heng pondered for a moment. Perhaps before his re:life, perhaps, possiblyno, definitelyhe had been a little reliant on Luo Li. He was clever enough to steer the conversation away. Delving too deeply into this topic might not yield favorable results, especially considering his current circumstanceswhere he might still be no match for Luo Li.
But, Elder Brother, have you remembered what you promised me on my 18th birthday? When Luo Li posed this question, her gaze bore into Chen Heng. It made him feel that if he couldnt recall, he might just end up taking a beating. Therefore, he began to think back. Thanks to the rather abrupt awakening of his memory, Chen Heng even remembered incidents as far back as when he was seven years old, like the time he wet the bed and received a beating from his mother.
