"What's the matter?" Now it was Green Light's turn to ask out of curiosity.
"Uh, well, there was a moment after I woke up when I seemed to vaguely remember a woman," Yun Ge said after struggling to support his thoughts, which could collapse at any time, and finally managed to articulate this memory that was rapidly disappearing from his mind.
"A woman? Are you sure?" Green Light asked.
"N-no, it's correct! It was a woman! I remember she was helping me in my last dream. Although I can't recall her face clearly, she seemed very familiar to me, as familiar as an old friend I've known for a long time. Right, this woman is the one who suddenly appeared in the dream and helped me escape from the zombie chase!" Yun Ge replied.
"Oh? You actually remembered her?" Green Light muttered in surprise.
"Why? Judging from your tone, do you know who she is?" Yun Ge asked eagerly.
After a brief silence, Green Light answered, "She is very special."
"Very special? Who is she? Why do I feel she is familiar? Is she our colleague? Is she also in this base?" Yun Ge pressed on, turning his head to look around as if searching for the woman's figure.
Green Light slowly rotated around Yun Ge, drawing his attention back to itself, and then said with interest, "Hey! Didn't I tell you? There are only two of us in the Rhombus. As for that woman—uh—, I can only say she is very special and very interesting. As for other situations—, I suggest you try to understand more through your own efforts!"
Yun Ge knew that with Green Light's way of answering questions in such a mysterious manner, he wouldn't be able to get any valuable information from it. So, he had to give up discussing the topic of the woman and said, shaking his head, "Alas! It's harder to chat with you than to play the lute to a cow! Forget it, since you don't want to talk about her, let's talk about me again! Of course, if you can answer my questions directly."
"Whether I will answer your questions directly depends on what questions you ask," Green Light said.
Yun Ge nodded helplessly to show he understood, and then asked, "So me—what will happen if my memory returns to normal?"
"Once your memory is restored, it will naturally be of great significance to us. Of course, I can't tell you the reason why it's of great significance. But I can assure you that when your memory is restored, your physical condition will also return to normal, and you will show a very unique potential!"
Hearing this, Yun Ge's eyes lit up as he asked, "A very unique potential? Can you elaborate on what kind of unique potential it is?"
Green Light replied neatly, "Heaven's secrets shall not be revealed, otherwise things may not come true! And to be honest, we don't know what potential you will show. Everything depends on fate!"
Green Light's evasive answer made Yun Ge speechless, but he still restrained himself from the urge to give Green Light a big shake and continued to ask, "So, what if the potential I show is not good? Or what if the potential I show is meaningless? You won't—?"
Saying this, Yun Ge couldn't help but shiver, and then he looked at Green Light with a guarded expression and created a certain distance between them. Seeing this, Green Light immediately floated to Yun Ge's side, spinning around him in the air and said, "Hey! Don't worry! If you have any bad potential, you wouldn't be here! After all, your body has great significance in the entire recovery process. So, even if your body doesn't show any valuable potential after a complete recovery, you will also get a good place to go."
"You said I am the master of this base, right? So you mean that if I can't show extraordinary potential, I will be expelled from here?" Although Yun Ge had no concept of being the master of this base called Rhombus, he was still filled with regret and unwillingness at the thought of possibly being deprived of his control over here. After all, this base was something he got for nothing! Although getting something for nothing can make people happy, losing what he got for nothing will still make people feel extremely frustrated!
"Oh! I said you guy, do you have persecution complex? Why do you always think others will harm you?! I just said you will get a good place to go, I didn't say you will be driven away! Don't worry! Since the Rhombus is already your base, they won't take it back. However, once you don't show any extraordinary potential, the use of the Rhombus for you will change accordingly, and the Rhombus won't provide you with more and stronger auxiliary functions." Green Light said irritably.
"For example, those doors in the base, once this situation you mentioned occurs, am I never able to explore the secrets behind those doors?" Yun Ge asked.
"That's right," Green Light replied.
Then, Green Light continued, "Of course, this situation is just a hypothesis, so you don't have to take it too seriously. Because thinking positively, since you can become the master of this base, it means you must have some extraordinary qualities. It's just that those extraordinary qualities haven't had the opportunity to be discovered yet because you haven't recovered."

In the end, Green Light emphasized again, "So, no matter what, the most important thing for you now is that you must seriously perform every task. And you must try to remember more content of the task. This is very important for your physical recovery and our work."
Yun Ge's subconscious that seemed to have known each other told him that Green Light had said the above things more than once, and his words were definitely not false. Therefore, Yun Ge's mood also relaxed. Then, with a renewed sense of energy in his heart, Yun Ge stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and said, "Well! Since that's the case, let's continue to work hard!"
Seeing Yun Ge suddenly in high spirits, Green Light floated away from his body with a reassuring mint green light, and said, "That's right, let's continue to work hard! Well, since your main questions have been solved, I should go back to work."
"Hey? Are you leaving? Are you going back to work? Can I go with you to have a look?" Seeing Green Light about to float away, Yun Ge hurriedly chased and asked.
Green Light immediately burst into dazzling green light at the words, and refused firmly, "No! Because your body is still very weak now, so you can't touch too many things. Otherwise, you will not only bring trouble to everyone but also may bring great danger to yourself!"
Seeing Yun Ge being frightened by his own warning tone and not daring to come forward, the dazzling light released by Green Light turned soft again, and said in a peaceful tone, "Your current condition is not suitable for too much work, and accepting too much information is not conducive to your memory recovery. So you should stay here honestly, walk around, and then wait peacefully for the next task. If you need anything, I will naturally come to you."
Looking at the Green Light that floated away, Yun Ge muttered with some unease and dissatisfaction, "Ah! Don't let it be if you don't let it be! Why are you so fierce? Besides, I was just being polite to you just now! Who knows what you are doing in the room! If you really let me go into the room with you, I would not be willing!"
After spitting out at the direction where Green Light left, Yun Ge looked around the spacious Rhombus Square, and then helplessly complained, "Alas! This place is indeed spacious, but it's so poor that there is nothing, where can I walk?!"
After saying that, Yun Ge sat back on the bench in the middle of the square, looked up at the blue-purple sky covered by thick fog, and counted the occasional bright lights passing through the sky: "One, two, three..."
Yun Ge stayed in the Rhombus Square for an unknown amount of time before waiting for the appearance of Green Light again. So, Yun Ge hurriedly got up to meet him, and asked with anticipation, "What's up? Is there another task to be executed? What task are we going to execute this time?"
However, don't think that Yun Ge is really looking forward to the task just because he is performing it at this time. In fact, Yun Ge just simply feels that it is too boring here, which has led to the idea that he would rather execute the task than continue to sit here like a prisoner facing the cold metal walls.
"It seems that your spirit has recovered almost. Since that's the case, let's hurry up and go." Green Light did not directly answer Yun Ge, but after circling around him twice, he said, and then turned around and floated towards the exit of the Rhombus Square.
"Hey! You are so mysterious!" Although Yun Ge was very dissatisfied with Green Light's attitude on the mouth, he still quickly followed up after seeing Green Light leave. Because, he really didn't want to stay in this square anymore.
The two soon entered the room where Yun Ge woke up. The room was the same as before, except for an operating table that could be called a bed, and the instruments placed around the operating table, there was nothing else. Under Green Light's instruction, Yun Ge lay on the operating table and calmly watched as multiple plugs extended from the surrounding instruments and connected to his body.
Why did I use the word "calm"? Shouldn't I feel scared or resistant when I see so many plugs inserted into my body for no reason? Yun Ge thought to himself. But in fact, Yun Ge was very calm when he saw the plugs from these instruments inserted into his body. Because for some reason, he always felt that this was a very normal thing.
"Hey! Can you tell me what task we are going to perform this time? Shouldn't I understand the specific content of the task and at least some precautions when performing the task before executing the task?" Yun Ge cooperated with Green Light to check the connection between the instruments and his body, while complaining.
"Hey! Where do you have so many questions? Don't you know that many things need to be understood by yourself, rather than relying on others to reveal, so as to be more meaningful? Besides, learning to adapt to the situation when performing the task is also a required course you need to master during your growth! Moreover, this is more conducive to your physical recovery!" Green Light responded impatiently.
"Wow! Bad! I must have gotten on the wrong boat! Do you have no idea what task I am going to perform?!" Yun Ge immediately saw the meaning in Green Light's response. Then he began to vigorously swing his body, trying to get up from the operating table. Seeing this, Green Light quickly entered a command on the control panel, and then Yun Ge felt a tingling sensation on his body, causing his body to gradually become stiff and fall on the operating table, unable to move anymore. At the same time, a sleepiness caused by fatigue also gradually spread all over his body.
"What... what have you done to me?" Yun Ge stammered, and finally showed a look of fear in his eyes.
"Hey! Don't be nervous! I just started the task transfer program, so you suddenly felt a strong desire to sleep. But don't worry, it's a normal reaction, you just need to try to relax your body. Remember, no matter what situation you encounter next, you just need to work hard in the direction of solving the problem! As for success or failure, it depends on luck!" Green Light flickered with a reassuring mint green light, comforting Yun Ge's emotions, letting him understand that he had no hostility, while instructing.
Just after the light emitted by Green Light entered Yun Ge's line of sight, Yun Ge immediately became as quiet as if he had felt Green Light's goodwill, and his whole body was quiet again. It was also at this time that Yun Ge's thoughts seemed to be sober, and he suddenly understood the meaning in Green Light's instructions, and thus came up with a lot of ideas and questions.
It is obvious that from Green Light's instructions, it can be heard that Green Light actually just hopes that Yun Ge will do his best to perform the task, but does not care whether he can complete the task successfully. Yun Ge wonders why Green Light talks like this? Does it mean that Green Light never thinks he has the ability to complete the task? Or does Green Light know from the beginning that he has no ability to complete the task? But since he has no ability to complete the task, then why does Green Light let him perform the task? And to think back, why did he go to perform the task at the behest of Green Light so easily?
