Chapter 243 The Burnt Past (Twenty-Two): After the Collapse

The crazy laughter stopped abruptly.

The girl knew what he was talking about.

The saddest thing for her was that not only could she understand what Chen Yan said, but she also knew that what Chen Yan said was right.

It is the [Supreme Rule] condensed by the blood and tears of countless people, and it is the underlying law for the operation of carbon-based life society.

And if she ignores this rule, she will definitely be unable to achieve her goal as he said.

The floating pixels on her face were trembling, and small ice-blue floating dots seeped out from where her eyes were. Those were her tears.

"I just want to go home...I...beep-I...I have something wrong..."

Her voice was twisted into a patchwork of staccato sounds, the pitch of each word falling into the same rigid syllable.

She leaned against Chen Yan, her body shaking stiffly like a machine. The range and frequency of each shaking were fixed.

She wanted to know what was wrong with her, but Chen Yan could no longer answer her question.

The memories in the World Memory Fragments were thought up by Chen Yan in advance, so they could be heard by her.

Chen Yan's consciousness itself had already fallen into shock due to the tremendous pain.

[Another kind of corruption] continued to happen to the girl. The dense 8-bit floating point pixel blocks gradually spread from the face to the neck, and then from the neck to the whole body. It was like a bad plague, crawling all over her after a while.

whole body.

She hugged Chen Yan tightly, her thoughts in her head completely confused.

"Kill...kill...there are memories...in your mind."

Her voice was no longer coherent.

"As long as you kill people... you can... go home."

When she said these words, a red memory fragment of the world flashed in her head.

'But if you insist on having your own way, I will deny your existence.'

Chen Yan's voice was decisive.

'Everyone is qualified to be saved, but there are still many people who are hopeless.'

'My sister will not kill people at will - in my memory, I have never taken killing as a sister!'

She understood what he said.

She raised her [face] and burst into tears.

Countless pixel blocks seemed to have caused a riot on her body, countless [conflicts] were born, and some flashing dark red pixel blocks formed [error], [error], [Fehler], [t

】……

Wait for all the symbols that represent the occurrence of [error].

Her voice became more mechanical. The mouth made of pixels could no longer spit out human words normally, and only intermittent mechanical sounds came out.

"I want... to go home... to my home... with Calvary..."

She seems to have lost the ability to think normally.

As more and more of these symbols representing "errors" appeared, she held Chen Yan with greater strength, and a sickly smile that could be distinguished by the naked eye appeared on her face made of pixels.

"Calvary..."

She lost her normal voice and her vision disappeared.

She collapsed softly on Chen Yan's chest, and her arms had melted into his back.

"We...get up..."

The pixel blocks on her body began to collapse, which is the type of collapse that begins when corruption accumulates to a certain extent.

Even so, she still said the last two words in that harsh mechanical voice.

"go home."

She began to slowly "melt".

The pixel blocks transformed from the body merged into Chen Yan's body without any hindrance, as if Chen Yan's body was originally no different from these pixel blocks.

After a while, the girl completely disappeared under the flickering dim light of the umbrella-shaped ceiling lamp.

She just "disappeared" into Chen Yan's body.

Wish clearly saw that the injury on Chen Yan’s neck and spine had been healed.

'It's really...weird...'

Wishes watched all this happen, watching the surrounding environment gradually darken - this memory was coming to an end.

'That's wrong...why is my sister so [melted] into Chen Yan's body?

I clearly saw before that before the ferry was about to sail into the imperial port, William Master had already captured his sister—a sister who was much weaker.’

'There must be more going on...'

The already completely dark horizon is gradually becoming brighter.

…

The next moment, the cabin with the afternoon sun shining in appeared before my eyes.

Chen Yanzheng was wearing a light blue shirt and a pair of straight student pants, standing at the porthole of the cabin, looking through the narrow glass at the endless sea in the distance.

The messy single bed was covered with a bedding that had never been folded. The bedding was not clean when Chen Yan boarded the ship. Fortunately, Chen Yan's living habits were not bad and did not make the bedding even filthier.

Next to the single bed, in a position that could be covered by the sunlight coming in through the porthole window at three o'clock in the afternoon, there were several pairs of sun-scorched socks hanging on a clothes hanger made of wire - there were no women's socks in those socks.

On the small table under the porthole, there was a lunch box that had been washed with clean water and wiped with the day's newspaper - there was only a pair of dishes and chopsticks on the lunch box.

There seemed to be no trace of my sister's "existence" in the cabin.

Chen Yan was very familiar with everything around him and did not show any disappointment or other emotions because of his "sister's absence".

Xuan Xiang looked at Chen Yan who was reading hard with his face pressed against the Imperial language book, feeling a little confused.

'What's going on? My sister brainwashed Chen Yan? So Chen Yan doesn't remember my sister's existence?'

It was lunch time. Chen Yan was dizzy from reading. He glanced at his watch and stood up, preparing to go to the restaurant to buy food.

Opening the hatch, a beautiful girl in a light blue dress was waiting for him outside the hatch.

"Brother, let's eat together!"

Wishful looked at the girl's face blankly, feeling more and more weird in her heart.

'She is the sister who was later captured by William Master!'

The appearance of the girl in front of her is very different from that of "my former sister". Judging from the appearance on her face, it is completely impossible to determine that she is the same person.

'How...how did she appear next to Chen Yan?'

This is the first time that Xixi looks at a girl so carefully.

'She is not a normal person...she...'

In the eyes of desire, the girl in front of him is not made of carbon. Although she has a human body, that body is not flesh and blood, nor is it mechanical, nor is it inorganic——

She seems to be made of [immaterial].

'What is she now?

【Memory】?

A [body of thoughts] that is embodied in a certain memory?

[Psychic Ghost]?’

Desire cannot be distinguished.

'No matter what she is...she no longer has that [Ice Blue Flame] in her body.

According to what she showed before, [Ice Blue Flame] represents knowledge, ability and power.

This means that her abilities are not as good as before.

No wonder it was later acquired by William Mast... Let me just say, that ice blue flame can even compete with the colorless material fire. With that thing protecting you, it is not William Mast.

Very good for cooking.'

While she was thinking about her wish, she suddenly saw the girl looking towards her.

She saw her, and then there was a hint of "unbelievable" in her eyes.

A sense of horror suddenly rushed to my forehead, and I was extremely shocked. There was only one thought in my head.

'She can see me!

What on earth is she now?!’
