This blood-red sea fog... why does it seem so familiar?
But he had no time to think further, as the elevator began to activate. That special vortex-like energy cluster had already begun to envelop everyone.
The first island landing, commence.
...

Dusk flowed into the living room like melted honey, the blinds combing the last strands of autumn sunlight into fine golden threads that fell diagonally on the fabric sofa's creases.
Wen Xishu opened his eyes and saw the massive crystal chandelier, feeling a calm and soft light falling upon him.
"You're awake, brother." The boy's voice came, making Wen Xishu feel a bit uneasy, immediately pulling him out of that soft tranquility.

Two prompts flashed through Wen Xishu's mind in an instant. It was so fleeting that he wasn't sure if it was some kind of electronic UI prompt flickering and disappearing.
"You drank a bit too much last night. Have some tea to sober up."
The boy poured tea on the delicate glass coffee table. The fragrance of tea filled the air, combined with the light and shadow in the room, giving a sense of peaceful time.
Wen Xishu looked at the boy, feeling increasingly strange.
"You..."

The boy wore silver earrings, lipstick, and revealing clothes that exposed his well-defined muscles, looking at Wen Xishu with somewhat admiring eyes.
Wen Xishu suddenly felt a chill rising. This appearance... what's going on? Why would a man dress like this?
Cross-dresser?
Oh no, have I transmigrated into some gay novel?

Those UIs flashed again, seemingly adjusting some values. Wen Xishu suddenly felt that everything seemed reasonable.
Everything should be normal, he shouldn't feel any... discomfort with the boy's appearance.

The constantly changing values also indicated that Wen Xishu's mind was adjusting to certain things.
But soon, memories began to surface.
"My name is Wen Xishu... I come from the Ark, no... no, from the Bunker."
"I am now representing the Ark's crew for the island landing. According to my previous memories, those who land on the island seem to lose certain concepts."
"It appears I've already lost some concepts, but what are they?"
If something doesn't exist at all, how can one imagine it or even recall it?
Wen Xishu looked at the meticulously made-up boy, suddenly another memory emerged, the boy's name was Xiaomian, and he was his...
[World Dissonance Level 70]
[Current Synchronization Rate 29]
The immense dissonance, the huge resistance inside, made Wen Xishu unwilling to accept this identity arrangement...
Xiaomian was his - partner.
"Brother, what's wrong, why are you looking at me with that kind of expression?"
Though male, Xiaomian spoke softly, his eyes seductive.
Faced with such an unsettling scene in the Shu Capital, Wen Xishu suddenly became clear-headed, once again wrapped in a feeling of nausea. This is not right... he must find a way back to the Ark, but if he returns just like this...it wouldn't work either.
Although he still hadn't figured out which concept he had lost, Wen Xishu was certain... it must be a very important and outrageous concept. So much so that even if he couldn't remember, he felt an immense dissonance.
Without retrieving this concept, even if he returned to the Ark, he would experience all kinds of nausea and discomfort.
(The theme of this island, which concept cognition has been lost, you must have guessed by now, don't worry, as a book for male readers, I definitely won't write plots that disgust male readers, everything is to showcase the dungeon setting, and the protagonist will break through this island soon.)
