They Say Liars Are Puppies [Infinite]

Jiang Yang's charm-ranking tags: [Contrast] [Drama Queen] [Wifey]...

And one more: [Puppy].

007 gave him that one.

Ji Yang says, "Mou Guang brings out the dog in you."

Jiang Yang's inner monologue: The one who lies is the puppy!

Jiang Yang has lost his memory.

The nursing home receives his file: a graduate student in the Journalism Department at Nan University.

While working undercover as a reporter at an entertainment company in Nan City, his identity was exposed and he got into a car accident.

In his third year at the nursing home, a train ticket appears in Jiang Yang's backpack. At the same time, a memory about a "boyfriend" loads into his mind. He decides to travel to the destination printed on the ticket, a place called No Man's Land.

At first, he thinks he has entered a massive live-action role-playing game. But after the train starts moving and a bug accidentally pulls him into the trial aboard Train Zero, he finally realizes something is wrong.

He has to find out, "Who am I?"

Ji Yang... has lost his memory.

He hasn't forgotten anyone he has ever met. He's forgotten "me."

In his first year wandering No Man's Land, his reputation as a god of killing gradually spreads, and he takes on one mercenary job after another.

Until one day, after Xie Lu drags him out of a trial badly wounded, Xie Lu asks, "Don't you have any goals?"

Ji Yang suddenly remembers a letter He Deyue gave him when he was twenty.

In it, he calmly wrote, "Without a soul, you can't leave No Man's Land."

"But now you can decide whether to become a judge. Maybe we still have a chance to get the others out."

Twenty-year-old Ji Yang scoffed. He had no interest in being some kind of savior.

On the judgment platform, facing off against He Deyue, twenty-year-old Ji Yang was like a gambler.

Just as the Sword of Justice was about to pierce the moon's barrier, he inexplicably asked, "Hey, who is he trying to send out?"

"Your lover."

The trial failed, but it wasn't because twenty-year-old Ji Yang had suddenly grown merciful.

He lost his composure, his resolve crumbled, and his sword went astray.

So he "sacrificed his soul" and became a judge first, eager to see this so-called "lover" in a trial.

What confuses Ji Yang now is that when he rode the No Man's Train back to No Man's Land, the person under surveillance had clearly been Wu Yibai.

Players and judges don't share memories.

But no one knows that Ji Yang, who has no soul, somehow retained his memories.

Unfortunately, his secret identity, which he'd kept hidden for a year, was exposed the moment he met Jiang Yang, when he had to save him.

Of course, 007's secret identity being exposed isn't the main problem.

The problem is that Ji Yang can't let the Tower find out he has his memories.

So when he faces Jiang Yang as Ji Yang: Woof woof woof woof, I can't stop wanting to cuddle up to Jiang Yang. I have to hold back!

Then, when he switches back to 007: I want Jiang Yang to be my dog! A sharp-tongued, hindering, contrast-heavy dog trainer who deliberately slips in his own agenda. This is Ji Yang's version.

Jiang Yang (oh): Am I some kind of toy?

Ji Yang (retorting): And you? Why are you stringing me along? Are you doing it on purpose?

Jiang Yang (playing dumb): I don't know what you're talking about.

Ji Yang (narrowing his eyes): Jiang Yang, liars are puppies.

Jiang Yang: Woof woof woof woof.
