Chapter 241 The Burnt Past (20): Conservation of Matter

The ice blue flame in her eyes kept flashing. Chen Yan could clearly see that the flame would turn into a dense mosaic from time to time. Countless garbled characters were running rampant in the mosaic, and countless 0s and 1s were filled in the mosaic.

Like a wild bee flying around, there is no pattern at all.

With the appearance of the mosaic, the girl walked forward as if out of control and grabbed Chen Yan's arm.

"Brother! Help me! I just saw from part of that man's memory that he has more than just this body.

He is not a normal human being, he..."

She became hysterical due to fear, her words were crazy and illogical, her expression was morbid and crazy, and she spoke faster and faster:

“I don’t know what he is, I just know that he got part of my world memory fragments, and through our knowledge, he carried out some very dangerous transformation on himself...

He has a part of what is mine...

As a result, he became the only person in this universe who could threaten me..."

After the girl finished speaking incoherently, she suddenly paused, looked at Chen Yan, and whispered:

"Coupled with his own abilities...he has reached a level that threatens me...we must leave as soon as possible..."

Chen Yan looked at the blazing ice blue flames in her pupils, gritted his teeth and said:

"You just said..."

When he said these words, even he felt weird.

"When you enter this universe, you lose something.

That thing is called [World Memory Fragment]."

Chen Yan's eyes trembled.

"You also said that your memory fragments are in other people's souls."

He looked into her eyes.

"What you ate before...whether it was that passenger or the one just now...what you ate was their soul...the [World Memory Fragment] that existed in their soul and belonged to you, right?"

The girl nodded without hesitation and admitted the matter.

Chen Yan thought of a possibility and whispered: "How do you know that the memory fragments are in their heads?"

The girl answered without hesitation: "I don't know... I can only roughly perceive the range where the memory fragments of my world exist, and then look for traces based on the range."

Chen Yan said in disbelief: "So you killed the passenger before just to test him!"

He immediately denied his statement: "No! You must have eaten to some extent! Because that is the only time you have recovered in these days!"

She remained silent and did not deny it.

He looked into her eyes: "No wonder... no wonder you can't recover by eating normal food.

Your food turns out to be human soul..."

He looked at her lowered head, absurd thoughts appeared in his mind, and fear finally appeared in his heart.

"Could it be that... what you said about [recovering my memory fragments] is something that can only be achieved by constantly eating people!"

When the girl looked up again, half of her face was already occupied by floating pixel blocks.

"For me, [individual life] is meaningless."

She came close to Chen Yan and almost pressed her face against his.

It was also at this time that Chen Yan finally saw clearly that the pixel blocks on her face were actually a "Character Ocean" composed of countless various characters.

The ocean of characters contains not only the Imperial language of the Ruk people, but also various other characters.

Chen Yan only glanced at it for a moment and already saw the writings of more than ten ethnic groups such as Yingguo, Nan'an, Suka Britain, Andiyin, Goliath, Rogni... and others.

Strange characters that I have never seen before.

Those words are arranged and combined in various forms in the "sea of ​​characters" on her face, forming strings that seem to have a certain meaning.

At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly had an inexplicable thought in his head:

He believed that these strings were disorganized, not arranged according to the original rules, and had lost their original appearance due to the girl's frantic state.

There is some kind of fatal error with these characters.

He didn't know why he thought so.

He only knew that the sickly twisted smile on the girl's face meant that she had fallen into some kind of irreversible madness.

"Individual life is meaningless."

She was talking to herself, not caring whether Chen Yan could understand or not.

"From the moment carbon-based life came into this world, it has been heading towards death step by step.

They desperately want to change the world in their short lives, but the existence of any objective things in the world is never dependent on human will——

Everything they did was in vain.

Their lives are completely meaningless."

The expression on her face gradually turned cold, and the emotionless compassion in her eyes made her look less like a human being and more like a superior god.

"If I follow the map, every life in this world will become a shackle for me, and I will spend an unimaginable amount of time looking for memory fragments."

"For those meaningless [individual lives], I don't need to do this at all."

"Life is short and fleeting.

When you zoom out long enough, you will find that "no life" can "change any historical process".

The world has its own laws of development, and no life can change it."

She looked into Chen Yan's eyes.

"The same goes for you and me."

"My memory backups are scattered in this world, and the container that can hold my memory fragments has something special besides the soul...

But fortunately, except for the man just now, those things have not yet appeared in this universe.

I just need to find enough memory fragments from the souls of carbon-based life to restore my memory and find my way home before those things appear in this universe."

The girl broke into Chen Yan's arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear:

"Brother, help me, okay?"

Chen Yan felt the cold hands on the back of his neck and smiled miserably:

"If I don't help you, are you going to kill me too?"

The girl hugged him tighter.

Her voice was surprisingly calm.

"Matter is conserved in the universe and will not be created or disappear out of thin air."

"Even if my brother [dies] in the form of [carbon-based life], he will [exist] in the world in another form."

Her fingertips dug into the back of his neck, and the pain caused caused his vision to go dark, and he almost went into shock instantly.

Chen Yan had tinnitus in her ears due to the tremendous mental pressure. At this moment, except for her voice, all other sounds disappeared.

"I will keep my brother in a safe place.

In this way, my brother does not have to work hard to find memory fragments, nor does he have to feel guilty for killing too many people.

I will do all those dirty things. My brother only needs to wait patiently for me to collect all the memory fragments...

At that time, we will go home together..."
