Chapter 242 The Burnt Past (21): The Supreme Rules

She embedded her two fingers on the back of Chen Yan's neck, causing a violent tremor that was obviously restrained.

A painful expression appeared on her face, and tears of sadness wet Chen Yan's shoulders in a moment.

She buried her face at the junction of his shoulder and neck, as if she felt the same pain that Chen Yan was feeling at this moment, which had exceeded the limit of shock.

"Brother, if you bear with it a little longer, you'll be fine soon..."

Her fingers penetrated the back of Chen Yan's neck and finally touched the spinal cord in his spine.

The next moment she touched a neuron in the spinal cord, her fingers began to "melt" and merged with the neuron in the blink of an eye, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

Countless memory fragments of the world were extracted from Chen Yan's brain, entered her fingers through the point where the spinal cord merged with hers, and disappeared into her body along her fingers like data points.

The tearing of her soul caused Chen Yan to suffer tremendous pain, and the pain also entered her body through the neurons connected to her.

A moment later, beyond her reaction speed, a fragment of world memory flashing with red light suddenly appeared and entered her fingertips at an incredible speed.

She realized something was wrong and wanted to pull out her knuckles, but the sound in her head made her lose all strength at this moment.

'What you said is wrong.'

'What people do is not in vain, and people's lives are not meaningless.'

'The existence and development of objective things are not dependent on human will, but can be transformed by people through practice!'

These words were read by her in a short moment.

‘People can change the world through practice and understanding!

Just like these countless living beings, the world has changed because of them and continues because of their practical activities - people are the source of power for the progress of the world!

Just like what you do - if you kill someone, it will have an impact on the world. Those bad effects will become your biggest obstacle in the future. Your arrogance and contempt for life will make your efforts in vain!'

The short words contained rules that could not be overstepped, and those objectively existing rules denied her motives for behavior.

She understood what Chen Yan said in an instant, and her thoughts were confused, her spirit was overwhelmed, and even her consciousness went dark for a moment.

This was not the first time she had heard of these rules.

However, part of her soul that originally belonged to her was irreversibly damaged in the process of fighting against the colorless flames, causing some [mistakes] in her.

Those [mistakes] caused her to distort her rationality, lose her sanity, and go further and further down the road to madness.

Her consciousness was severely distorted by the rules mentioned by Chen Yan, and her originally made-up decision became hesitant.

Immediately, more pixel blocks appeared on her face——

Rather, these pixel blocks are her original appearance, her structure, and her composition rules.

But now, the original movement rules of the pixel blocks have become seriously disordered due to the swing of her will, and the injuries in her body caused by extinguishing the colorless flames have become even worse.

Her eyes were confused, and she wanted to speed up the withdrawal of the memory fragments of the world, but she felt a strong inability to do so.

"Brother...Beep-Brother! You are...Beep-Don't resist!"

She cried out in grief, but there was a strange staccato sound in her cry - her mouthpiece made of flesh and blood actually made a chaotic sound of electricity!

Seeing her weird look, I wish some thoughts suddenly came to my mind.

‘This is [corruption]!’

The wish solidified my thoughts in an instant.

'It's just different from the corruption of the physical body. What happened to her... was another kind of [corruption]... This kind of [corruption] did not originally exist in this world.'

The girl broke down and cried loudly. Her cries were incoherent, and the electric sound mixed with the hoarse cries was enough to cause anyone's mental discomfort.

"I'm helping you...beep home! Isn't that...beep what you want to do the most!"

As she spoke, she mobilized her power again, trying to extract more fragments of the world's memory from Chen Yan's soul.

What she didn't expect was that as the memory fragments of the world were pulled away, a sigh also appeared from one of the fragments that glowed red.

'Anyway, I can help you.'

Chen Yan's voice echoed in her mind.

‘Although I don’t know where your so-called hometown is, I happen to be looking for a way home...if I can find it.

Since I am a fellow countryman, I can naturally help you, but we have to spend some time on it.

Even if we want to find your memory, we can't just kill people.

You can't eat people like before.

If you agree, I will help you.’

She lay tremblingly on Chen Yan's shoulder, her crying gradually became muffled, and her fingers no longer exerted suction on the memory fragments of Chen Yan's world.

Just when Chen Yan thought she was about to compromise, her palm suddenly moved further, her whole hand reached into Chen Yan's body, and held his spine tightly.

In the next moment, her arms had merged with his spine, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

"I can't wait...beep-it's been so long-"

The fear caused by homesickness caused the corruption on her body to intensify moment by moment, until her entire face turned into pixels.

Her entire face seemed to have turned into a pixel face composed of countless 8-bit floating points!

An expression appeared on the face made of pixels.

It was a crazy, deformed and twisted smiling face.

"As long as I can go home, no matter what!"

The smiling face's mouth splits to both sides until it reaches the base of the ears.

Her voice was suddenly full of happiness and joy.

"It doesn't matter how many people die! As long as they can go home!"

The suction force on her hand suddenly became stronger, and more and more world memory fragments were pulled out of Chen Yan's soul and entered her extraordinary [brain].

Until a fragment of the world's memory shining with red light entered her [brain] again, and Chen Yan's voice sounded again.

‘[No life] can [change the course of any history] – this statement is wrong.’

The stubborn voice was just a low whisper at first, but in a moment it was as loud as a bell.

‘The so-called historical process can only exist because of life——

History is made by the people!’

The ocean seemed to be trembling, the bottom of the sea was roaring continuously, and the tsunami generated by the eruption of the submarine volcano almost swept the ferry into the deep sea.

The violent shaking of the ship's hull did not cause any bumps in the narrow corridor. The location of Chen Yan and the girl seemed to be in another space, undisturbed by the shaking of the ferry's hull.

Chen Yan's voice continued to speak, and the memory fragments of the red world that had entered the girl's mind flickered continuously.

'You who regard human life as trivial will surely pay the price for your contempt for life.'

'You who look at humans from a god's perspective will never be able to achieve your goals.'
