Chapter 217 Going to the Past

In this fragment of world memory, around the time when [The Bloody Sacrifice on the Ballroom Dance Floor] occurred, William Master was no longer on the ship.

Turning his eyes, he saw [another encounter] between Chen Yan and himself——

He found a "white cat" that couldn't even stand up in a corner of the cabin. He picked up the white cat, looked around, scratched his head, and finally decided to kill the weak, almost dying cat.

Rescue the fallen white cat...

He shifted his gaze and saw that on the fifth floor below the deck, near the bottom cabin, in a cabin that was tied with heavy chains, there was actually the body of a huge, rotting white beast lying.

.

'There...that's where I came into this world.'

An obvious knife mark can be seen on the abdomen of the white giant beast, and a long and thin blood vessel-like thing extends from the knife mark on its abdomen, and finally falls on the cold ground.

That's an umbilical cord.

The other end of that umbilical cord was once connected to a little "white cat".

He looked at the nameless white corpse with complicated eyes.

That is His biological mother.

He didn't know where it came from, or why it appeared on the fifth floor below the ferry's deck—the turbine room that was supposed to be accessible only to senior engineers.

But now, at the location where the umbilical cord was severed, a bunch of small bloody footprints could be clearly seen - those bloody footprints were crooked, spreading from the location where the umbilical cord was severed to a vent in the corner of the cabin.

That is the only way to the outside world.

That was the only way for the white cat to escape.

He shook his head and started thinking again.

‘This fragment of world memory originally started with [William Master handing over the alien tiger to Chen Yan].

But now it seems that William Master no longer exists in [Starting Point].

Therefore, what happened later turned out to be something else -

This memory fragment of the world is no longer what it used to be.

The future will also be affected by this.

There’s nothing you can do about it.’

He was very vigilant about the disappearance of William Master.

'William Mast must have left by [some means] -

Not only did he let the self leave at the time when the ferry was burned by colorless flames, he also let himself go at every time point before the ferry was burned down.

In this way, he is equivalent to "never existing in this entire memory".'

‘What kind of method is this?

The means related to [time] are not something that ordinary people can master...

Did he believe in a bug with the ability to [pollute time]?’

'This damn old guy... is really hard to deal with.'

'Now it seems that Chen Yan was able to force him back by spontaneous combustion, which is really... a miracle.'

Apart from miracles, He could not think of any way to describe Chen Yan's deeds.

'There is also another possibility - William Mast was burned by that strange colorless flame that came out of nowhere, and burned completely, leaving not even ashes left at any time - after all, Chen

Yan lit the flame in the first place just to resist him - this colorless flame was aimed at him.'

He laughed at himself.

'This is obviously impossible.'

'He must not be dead...he just disappeared during this [entire period of time in the memory fragments].'

'And that girl - the girl who thinks she is Chen Yan's sister, under the protection of William Master, will definitely not die because of this.'

'He took her away... from this whole time.'

He looked down at the entire ferry from high in the sky, and then shifted his gaze to look beyond the distant sea level - there, hidden among the clouds and mist, was an extremely long black snake that seemed to stretch to the end of the world.

.

That's the coastline of the empire.

'The ferry is about to dock and everything is about to begin.'

He moved his transcendent vision and looked in the direction of the past.

'But the colorless flame is still burning... The colorless flame is burning in [Chen Yan's past memory fragments], non-stop...'

'If the colorless flame is allowed to burn, will it burn through Chen Yan's soul?'

'Very likely!'

'If the flame burns all the way along Chen Yan's soul...

If Chen Yan is really burned down, which will have an unpredictable impact on the future, then...

No matter what, the consequences will be disastrous!’

'This stupid guy! He obviously has no ability to control this kind of flame, but he just lit it without mercy! Now he wants me to wipe his ass!'

His thoughts became firm.

'I must go to the past and find ways to reduce the intensity of the fire...at least to the extent that it will not burn through my soul!'

Fortunately, the colorless flames have burned through the boundary between "present" and "past" in Chen Yan's memory.

He can reach [Chen Yan's memory fragments of the past world] without too much effort.

'Judging from the future situation, [Chen Yan's memory fragments of the past world] should have been burned and no longer exist.'

‘The [Memory Fragment of Chen Yan’s past world] that I am about to arrive at should also be the product of the monster girl’s [Backup] - just like the link to the [Ferry Bridge in the Heavy Rain].'

'But no matter what, as long as it is a memory fragment of the world, any changes will have an impact on reality.'

He chased in the direction of the colorless flames.

Everything in his field of vision was stretched infinitely. Between the flashes of light and shadow, strange colors appeared beside Him. Those colors were stretched into countless pieces of paper in a moment——

Those pieces of paper are the memory fragments of Chen Yan's world in the past.

Some pieces of paper were already burning in colorless flames.

Some pieces of paper had just burnt marks on them.

Most of the pieces of paper are still intact.

He spotted a piece of paper that was still far away from the burning range of the colorless flame, and plunged into it.

——

——

The darkness in front of me seemed to last only a few seconds, or it seemed to have lasted tens of thousands of years.

When He opened his eyes, another scene appeared before him:

Strings of red peppers hang on the rough wooden beams. Behind the red peppers are two framed black and white photos. One is an old man and the other is an old lady. In front of the photos are two lanterns——

There are several such quaint lanterns in this room——

People here still use candles for lighting.

In front of the black and white photo, a middle-aged man in rustic clothes is facing young Chen Yan.

There was a small display cabinet between the two of them, with two brass objects that looked like "trumpets" placed on the top of the display cabinet.

"Dad...what is this!"

The middle-aged man looked at the "trumpet" with a complicated look in his eyes:

"This is called [telephone]."

Chen Yan stared at this thing dumbfounded: "This... this is a phone?!"

The middle-aged man obviously didn't realize what shocked Chen Yan and nodded: "The thing that the Europeans across the sea figured out uses electricity!"

Chen Yan was surprised again and said: "Dian..."

The middle-aged man flicked the cigarette rod on the soles of his feet, put it into his mouth and took a puff: "This is a thing invented by outside scholars! Now that Dad is rich, he will also send you to study. You will go to Nanyang for three years.

Three years in the East, three years in the West..."

Chen Yan asked stupidly: "Why don't you go to Beiyang?"

The middle-aged man slapped him on the back of the head: "Silly boy, this is Beiyang!"
