The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

"Chi Yuan... you are different from us. The fusion factor gives your body a strong ability to recover. It acts on the brain first, making brain cells continuously activated. The life span of mortals will eventually end, but you will live forever, immortal. You will also retain all your memories forever, making forgetting an unattainable luxury. Those fleeting moments for us will always repeat in your mind, increasing in value and regenerating... and eventually fill your sea of ​​thoughts."

Cang Xuan slowly analyzed Fu Hua's symptoms, and then said: "Years of watching over you are your burden. The increasingly frequent headaches are the protests from your brain, Chi Yuan. Do you understand why the doctor gave Yu Duchen to you?"

"I know..." Fu Hua said.

"Alas...you are too stubborn." Cang Xuan closed his eyes helplessly and sighed.

"I can still hold on for a while, please let me keep them for a while." Fu Hua said with a smile.

"Using Yu Duchen, you can remove those useless memories; if you are reluctant, you can also separate them and temporarily store them on the Key of God. Or, just do simple mental operations. If you don't want to use Yu Duchen... the fusion warrior can also help you. Even if it is for your own good, please make up your mind as soon as possible. If you continue like this, your condition will only get worse." Cang Xuan said.

"..." Fu Hua fell silent and began to think about what Cang Xuan said.

"You two stop chatting! The leader of the monsters is here!" At this time, Dan Zhu ran over breathlessly, pointing at the commander-level Honkai beast behind him. Facing the sudden appearance of the powerful Honkai beast, Fu Hua prepared to lead the Honkai beast to the sea first to avoid the battle here destroying the environment.

"How is it? We just tried it. Who can enter the illusion?" Wang Chen asked the people around him.

"I don't think I can do it." Theresa was the first to release her hand from the feather. Theresa did not enter the illusion, nor did she pop out of the illusion space.

“I can’t either…”

"Me too……"

Mei and Houraiji Kyushu also shook their heads and then released their hands from the feathers. Half of the group were no longer qualified to enter the illusion.

"I think I can..." At this time, Lin gave a different answer.

"I can also enter it. It seems that Lin and I have roles here, but there is no role for Theresa and you guys." Wang Chen said.

"Captain, since Femilis is an AI, she can enter and exit the illusion world at will. I will be the transit station and be responsible for establishing contact between the captain and those who have not entered the illusion." Femilis loosened her hand holding the feather and gestured.

"Well, after Lin and I let go of the feathers and enter the illusion, our contact with you, Theresa, will be relayed by Femilis. Of course, Theresa, you and I have already established a synchronous link, so there is no problem for me to contact you directly." Wang Chen said.

"Then let Femilis make the contact, Captain Wang Chen. Isn't the synchronization link position full now? And I will be fine for the time being, so you can temporarily interrupt the link with me and leave it to others. If you find other companions with sealed memories in this area, if they are not synchronized, you can use the power of this empty synchronization link." Theresa analyzed.

"Then let's do as Theresa said." So, Wang Chen temporarily interrupted the synchronous link with Theresa. Now the upper limit of Wang Chen's synchronous link number is 6, linking Yae Sakura, Kallen, Lin, Lei Lu Mei and Colorless Brilliance respectively, and reclaimed another empty space from Theresa.

"Femilis, the security monitoring work of Theresa and the others is now handed over to you. If any problems arise, notify me immediately." Wang Chen instructed.

"Yes, I will definitely monitor the surrounding situation and not let the Corrosion Ruler take advantage of any opportunity!" A combat analyzer appeared in front of Femilis, and she began to monitor the surroundings.

Chapter 323: Memories Connect Me

On the other side, Fu Hua also resolved the battle, and Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu also welcomed the returning Fu Hua at the beach.

"What a big guy! What name should we give it this time?" Danzhu said with a smile, thinking back to the Honkai beast that appeared before.

"After it dissipated, the concentration of Honkai energy here has returned to normal levels." Cang Xuan scanned the surroundings with the instrument, looked at the numbers on it, and then said.

"That's good, it means this is just an accidental anomaly. The real collapse has not yet come. We still have enough time to advance the Spark Project, don't we? You two, why are you still frowning? Let's go back to Taixu Mountain." Danzhu exhaled and said with a smile.

So Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu and Fu Hua started walking towards the Taixu Mountain they mentioned.

"Then let's follow and see what else happens." Wang Chen said.

So everyone followed. Everyone else was fine and walked forward freely. Only Wang Chen and Lin still needed to hold the feather, so the two of them could only walk forward as if they were holding hands.

"Speaking of which, Captain, what exactly are these fusion warriors and fusion factors they mentioned before? Why is Fu Hua's headache related to fusion warriors? Is this illusion going to solve Fu Hua's headache?" Theresa asked curiously.

"Fusion warriors and fusion factors... How should I put it? Actually, Theresa, you should be very familiar with them. The so-called fusion factor is actually the genetic factor of the Honkai beast that has undergone special modifications, and it is also called the super mutation factor. And through a special operation, the super mutation factor and the human gene are combined with each other, thus completing the super mutation operation and becoming a fusion warrior with the Honkai beast gene. Theresa, I should be able to understand what I mean." Wang Chen said slowly.

"Fusion of the genes of Honkai beast? I see... So this technology is..." Theresa suddenly realized, and then she didn't say much. Although the other people who listened also roughly understood the origin of fusion warriors, they didn't know why Theresa had such a reaction.

Only Wang Chen knew that Theresa was also a fusion experiment with the gene of Honkai Beast. The Honkai Beast gene in Theresa was the same Pishnu gene as Kosmo, which had the ability to devour Honkai Beast and evolve infinitely. In a sense, Theresa was also a fusion warrior.

"So, what the sister named Cang Xuan said is true? The reason why Senior Fu Hua has a headache is the result of too many memories? Because of the lifespan of the fusion warriors, and the inability to forget memories... causing the memories to accumulate more and more, and finally?" Raiden Mei asked.

"I'm not very clear either, but you'll understand as you read on." Wang Chen said. As for the plot, Wang Chen still remembered the general direction, but he couldn't remember the details. Wang Chen vaguely remembered that Fu Hua's headache was not simply due to memory. Moreover, Wang Chen was sure that excessive memory would not cause headaches.

The reason is very simple. There is an obvious counterexample, that is Su. Su is not only a fusion warrior like Fu Hua, but Su also needs to use the Thousand Worlds to observe various parallel worlds. The amount of memory accumulated is much more brutal than Fu Hua, but Su does not have this problem.

Moreover, don't underestimate the human brain. You should know that the memory of an ordinary person's entire life only occupies less than 5% of the brain's capacity. Moreover, Fu Hua herself is not an ordinary person. Her brain cells have also been strengthened and amplified because of the fusion warrior. Not to mention 50,000 years, even 500,000 years of memory, Fu Hua can store it, just like Su.

Then the decisive factor that really affects Fu Hua, the essential difference between Fu Hua and other fusion warriors, is that Fu Hua is the only fusion warrior who has participated in the "Shenyin Project" and successfully survived. The Shenyin Project was born out of Aponia's discipline ability. In a sense, Shenyin not only developed Fu Hua's brain area, which significantly improved Fu Hua's resistance and adaptability to Honkai, but also stamped Fu Hua with a thought stamp. Especially under the deliberate design of Dr. Mei, Fu Hua will gradually lose her memory and be gradually manipulated by the thought stamp, becoming a tool that only knows how to solve Honkai.

This... also laid the groundwork for the ruthless immortal and the seven disciples who killed their master later.

"Cang Xuan, you asked me before why I didn't deal with my own memories... maybe it was because of selfishness." At this time, Fu Hua's voice interrupted Wang Chen's thoughts. On the way back to Taixu Mountain, Cang Xuan and Fu Hua, who had been silent at first, were the first to break the silence.

"Alas..." After hearing Fu Hua's answer, Cang Xuan didn't say much, but just let out a long sigh.

"My background is very ordinary. Although that was before I underwent integration and transformation, I still remember... I was born in the downtown area of ​​a big city, a place that was destined to be unstable. I am a country person in the city and a city person in the countryside. Where exactly I belong... I don't know." Fu Hua seemed to be lost in memories, looking back at her former self.

"For me, the future is to go to high school, go to college, and find a job to support myself. Or I can go back to my hometown, inherit my father's martial arts school, and spend my life like this... Many, many years ago, I was still a frightened little girl. At that time, the safety of the world and the survival of mankind had nothing to do with me. However, it seems that in the blink of an eye, thousands and tens of thousands of years of time were compressed into a moment... I came here and became who I am now."

"But I always think of that little girl. She is always in my heart. Whenever I have a moment of free time, I seem to see her in the dark, bewildered, looking at me... What happened? What happened from then to now... What connected the two of me? What changed that girl and shaped her into what she is now?"

"'I' and I are not isolated. We are on the long line of time, at the first and last points. What connects the points is who I was in the past, at every moment. What I left behind... is my memories. If I lose my memories, Cang Xuan, my life will be disconnected... When I look back, I will never be able to figure out how I came to be - I will see that little girl, and see my childhood self wearing an old-fashioned uniform, with fear on my face and at a loss, but I will not know how she became me, and how I became what I am now. I don't know why I have persisted until now..."

"But..." Cang Xuan wanted to say something, but in the end Fu Hua shook her head and said, "I will, Cang Xuan, I will. Just please let me keep it for a while longer."

Finally, the two of them remained silent and continued to climb the mountain. Wang Chen and others who followed closely behind were also filled with emotion after listening to Fu Hua's self-narration. Yes, what kind of hardships and obstacles did she go through to turn the weak middle school student into the current guardian of Shenzhou? You know, they had just spent some time with the little girl mentioned by Fu Hua not long ago.

"Listening to Fu Hua's words, I don't know why, but I can feel a suffocating sense of oppression. Is it sadness? Or pain? Or something else... It's too heavy." Theresa couldn't help but sigh. She felt that she had never seen Fu Hua clearly and understood Fu Hua.

"Memory? If I lose this memory, can I still figure out how my past self is connected to my present self?" At this time, Wang Chen also fell silent. As Wang Chen said this, others looked at Wang Chen with concern. Because, from the previous illusion, everyone thought that Wang Chen was a warrior from the previous era who had lived for 50,000 years like Fu Hua, and Wang Chen himself said that he had forgotten a lot of his own memories.

Chapter 324: Friends’ Blessings

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?" Wang Chen had obviously come out of his thoughts, but found that everyone was looking at him with concern. He was a little confused for a moment.

"It's nothing... Captain, let's hurry up and catch up with Fu Hua and the others. I don't know why, but it feels like the flow of time in this illusion has accelerated. Look, the sun sets very quickly, and it feels like it will set soon." Theresa changed the subject so that Wang Chen wouldn't see what she was thinking.

"It's okay, it's okay. Now the synchronization link with the captain has been disconnected. I'd better be nicer to the captain and Fu Hua in the future. After all, they are both warriors who fought against the collapse to the end for 5 years in the last era. Such spirit is truly admirable. Alas, when Captain Wang Chen suddenly makes some strange moves in the future, you should be more patient. Maybe this is the sequelae caused by overusing the brain and arbitrarily deleting memories." Theresa thought to herself.

"The speed of the illusion has indeed increased. The sun is not about to set, it has already set. It may be because we are too far away from the object." Wang Chen looked at the originally bright environment that had now become dim, so he immediately told everyone to continue moving up the mountain.

……

Soon, everyone arrived at a Taoist temple, which was Taixu Temple, and it was also the place where Fu Hua lived when she was a Red Kite Immortal. For some reason, the flow of time in the illusion suddenly increased. All they knew was that when the group arrived at Taixu Temple, the sky was already full of stars. The ancient environment did not have the light pollution of modern times, and the stars shone brightly in the night sky, which amazed Jiuxiao and Meiyi, who grew up in the city.

Taixu Temple is very large. In addition to the main hall, there are also courtyards, vegetable gardens, and martial arts arenas... In short, Wang Chen did not find Fu Hua and others in the main hall for a while, thinking that they might have gone to sleep in their rooms, so he ordered Theresa and others to find the whereabouts of the three people in Taixu Temple, and contact Femilis after finding them, and let Femilis pass on the message. So Theresa, Femilis, Meiyi, and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao formed a group and began to search freely in the western area.

Wang Chen took Lin and began to look for the room of Fu Hua and others in the east area. Soon, Wang Chen found the place where Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu and Fu Hua were resting in the backyard. However, Wang Chen unexpectedly found that Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan were standing in a room at the moment, discussing something.

Wang Chen first notified Femilis to call Theresa and others over. After they were all together, he approached Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu and listened to their conversation.

"...Does she think so?" Danzhu asked.

"Yeah." Cang Xuan nodded silently. Obviously, what they were discussing was the idea of ​​memory erasure that Fu Hua had told Cang Xuan not long ago.

"Alas, the results are all within the doctor's expectations. Hua is beginning to have problems with self-cognition. She rejects memory operations, which has been clearly demonstrated." Danzhu said with a sigh.

"Do you think we should proceed to the next stage?" Cang Xuan asked abruptly.

"Sister? What do you think?" Danzhu asked. Facing Danzhu's question, Cang Xuan fell into deep thought, considering his options.

"What are they talking about? Why can't I understand after listening for a long time? Is it because we missed something before? What about executing the next stage? Do they want to do something to Fu Hua? And who is that doctor?" Theresa asked with a frown.

"They are talking about Fu Hua's headache, which is also part of the Spark Plan. As for the doctor... you can think of her as one of the leaders of the later Fire Moth." Wang Chen said, "I now know what happened to Fu Hua. Her headache is not caused by excessive memory, but because Fu Hua's behavior logic has conflicted with the ideological imprint in her mind."

"Thought stamp? Aibo, are you saying that Senior Fu Hua was given a hint?" Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple was particularly sensitive to this kind of words and quickly understood what Wang Chen meant.

"Yes, but it is far more terrifying than suggestion." Wang Chen said slowly, "Fu Hua once participated in a plan... called the Shenyin Project. It uses some kind of meme-like spiritual power (commandments) to stimulate the brain, develop the brain area and stimulate potential, thereby greatly evolving physical fitness. And Fu Hua is the only one who is lucky enough to survive."

"Isn't this great? Senior Fu Hua passed it successfully, and her strength and body have evolved. Although it sounds like she is the only one who survived... It's a bit scary, this experiment." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao said.

"It's not that simple...the conversation has started again. I'll explain it later." Wang Chen said after hearing Cang Xuan's voice.

"...I don't want to." After thinking for a long time, Cang Xuan shook his head and said.

"why?"

"As for me... I'm not that great. I survived that time and entered the hibernation chamber. I accepted the mission to assist Chi Yuan... I was just following the doctor's orders. I don't like the doctor, nor do I like this mission. I just accepted his trust and had to be loyal to him. But... I like Hua." After Cang Xuan finished speaking, he smiled knowingly, as if he was thinking of some beautiful memory, and said.

"Yeah, I think so too." Danzhu smiled in the same way and said, "Compared to executing Mei's plan, compared to the rebirth of the world... I hope she can have her own life. Not to destroy Honkai, not to live to protect humans. Not to be a tool of Dr. Mei. Even if it is against orders, I want to stop Chi Yuan from becoming that."

"All we can do is delay it."

"That's enough, sister. We will all die, but Chi Yuan will live. She will meet many, many people, right? They won't know the doctor's plan, and they will treat her sincerely. This is her story, and our part ends here." Danzhu looked at the door of the room, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

Cang Xuan also looked at Fu Hua's door calmly, and then the two of them looked at each other and walked to their own rooms. Wang Chen could sense that the person standing behind the door was Fu Hua, who was once again preparing to go out to relax because of insomnia. What Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan said just now was not only for themselves, but also for their only best friend Fu Hua.

"So, Captain...what exactly is that doctor's plan? I can feel that those two people are willing to betray the doctor and resist the so-called plan, and they don't want Fu Hua to become something terrible. They offered their most sincere blessings to Fu Hua until the very end." After listening to this, Theresa looked at Wang Chen, the only one who knew the truth. If what Danzhu and Cangxuan just said, that Fu Hua would meet someone who treated her sincerely in the future, then she would undoubtedly be one of them.

Even though Fu Hua had concealed a lot from her before, even though Fu Hua was sent undercover by her grandfather and had unknown secrets, Theresa always regarded Fu Hua as the best student of Saint Freya Academy, a comrade in the fight against Honkai, and an important member of the Saint Freya family.

As a family member, comrade-in-arms, or teacher, Theresa wanted to understand Fu Hua's experience. Only by sharing Fu Hua's unknown burden can she be happy.

Chapter 325: The Harm of Ideological Stamps

"I just said that about the Shenyin Project, it was originally intended to stimulate the brain through mental power and inspire people's potential. However, it has an unexpected side effect, which is the mental imprint. Their way of thinking is gradually influenced until it is completely controlled. It's like a gradual brainwashing process." Wang Chen said slowly. "And the mental imprint in Fu Hua's mind is that the Honkai must be eliminated."

"Must we eliminate Honkai? It sounds like there's no problem. Isn't this what everyone has been doing?" Mei said puzzledly.

"No, Mei. It's just such a simple thought stamp, but the harm it brings is beyond your imagination. Once a person's mind is controlled, he or she will not be able to think dialectically on their own and will become a slave to the stamp's instructions. The tragedy that will eventually result is enough for humans to bear." Wang Chen shook his head and said, "Let's take the simplest example, Mei yourself."

"Me?" Mei pointed at herself and asked curiously.

"Mei...are you a human or a Herrscher?" Wang Chen asked.

"Hersker? Human?" Mei didn't react to Wang Chen's question for a while, but the Houraiji Jiuxiao next to her frowned deeply and said, "Aibo, what you mean is... humans like Mei who are about to become Herrschers, or even don't need to become Herrschers, as long as they are infected with the Honkai disease and will eventually turn into dead soldiers, as long as they are stamped with ideological steel, they will not distinguish these humans who are corroded by the Honkai disease, but instead regard them all as part of the Honkai and destroy them, right?"

"Eh?" Mei was shocked when she heard the conclusion drawn by Kyushu of Penglai Temple, but she was also frightened when she heard this conclusion.

"That's pretty much the truth. The most dangerous thing about ideological stamping is that it deprives people of their ability to think dialectically. For different information received, there is only one conclusion drawn. Ultimately, the misunderstandings and tragedies it causes are unimaginable." Wang Chen said seriously.

"Under the influence of the ideological stamp, there are two tragedies that it ultimately causes. One is Fu Hua. Just as Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan mentioned just now, under the influence of the ideological stamp, Fu Hua will gradually lose her human emotions and become a tool that only knows how to eliminate the collapse - all demons must be killed. This is Dr. Mei's plan. Before the revival of the current civilization, a protector is needed. This protector cannot treat things related to the collapse because of personal feelings. He must be cold and ruthless, like a machine, strangling everything related to the collapse in the cradle." Wang Chen said slowly.

"Why? Fu Hua is obviously trying so hard, and she really wants to protect this land. Why do we have to do this?" Theresa couldn't understand why she would do such a cruel thing as to use the steel stamp of thought to mold a living person into a cold machine that executes orders.

"Because human emotions are very fragile, Theresa." Wang Chen looked at Theresa and said slowly, "You just heard it, Danzhu and Cangxuan said that they are not fusion warriors like Fu Hua, and their lifespans are limited. They can't accompany Fu Hua to the end. Even if Fu Hua can have new encounters in the future and meet someone who treats her well among those humans. But what is the result? Everyone will part because of their lifespan."

"Lifespan..." Theresa fell silent.

"How many years will it take to complete the Spark Project and serve as the guardian of civilization's revival? Too long, too long. Fu Hua's body can withstand the ravages of time, but what about her spirit? She needs to constantly witness the birth, aging, sickness and death of others. Once she has too many emotions involved in the world, can she still become a qualified guardian of the 'grand plan' of that calculating doctor? Will her spirit really not collapse because of her emotions? Especially when constantly fighting against something that corrodes the human soul, called collapse." Wang Chen said slowly.

"That doctor would not bet on this possibility. She would rather Fu Hua be like a machine. Only in this way can Fu Hua continue to fulfill her mission in her long-term role as a protector who has to deal with others. She must eliminate the Honkai and protect humanity. There is no need for extra emotions and will. Only in this way can she withstand the erosion of time without worrying about her collapse."

Wang Chen finished speaking, and a trace of resentment flashed across his face. If he remembered correctly, a certain Dr. Mei seemed to be on his ship and had smuggled into this world with his own Valkyrie [Raiden Mei]. He didn't know if she was Mei from this world. If so, he always felt that if he didn't punish her properly, he would feel a little sorry for Fu Hua.

"This is really... I understand the choice those two made." Theresa said, looking at the room that Danzhu and Cangxuan had just returned to.

"Well, as long as they are Fu Hua's friends, no one would want to see Fu Hua go in that direction in the end. Unfortunately, as I just said, this is a tragedy. And this is just Fu Hua's memory of the past. Fu Hua eventually gradually became the Chi Yuan Immortal who would kill any demon he saw and was supremely indifferent to emotions. Therefore... forget it, I won't say anything more. If we continue to watch the illusion, you can see Fu Hua's final destination."

Wang Chen looked towards Fu Hua's room. After knowing Fu Hua's life from beginning to end, he realized how heavy and distressing the suffering Fu Hua had to bear was.

"Mr. Wang Chen, you just said that one of the tragedies caused by ideological imprinting was Sister Fu Hua...then what was the other one?" Lin suddenly asked.

"Another one?" Wang Chen was stunned, pondered for a while, and said, "Another tragedy... is the creation of the 11th Herrscher of the previous era - the Corrosion Herrscher."

"Erosion Ruler?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"That's right, it's the Herrscher we are facing now. The one we have been fighting against did not suddenly appear recently. Whether it was the one who was locked in the black box 500 years ago and caused the tragedy of Yae Village, or the creator of this consciousness space and this series - the Herrscher, it was the Herrscher who appeared in the pre-civilization period 5 years ago. At the same time, it was also the potential harm of the thought stamp that ultimately led to the tragedy." Wang Chen said, recalling the plot related to Ling.

After Wang Chen finished speaking, Lin wanted to ask something else, but suddenly her expression changed. She turned to Fu Hua's room and pointed at it and said, "Look! How come so much black energy is pouring into that room!"

"What? Black aura?" Wang Chen looked towards Fu Hua's room, but did not see the black aura that Lin mentioned. Others also looked at Fu Hua's room with confusion, but did not find anything unusual.

"No! Captain, you'd better turn on the special perspective as soon as possible! Or accept the visual synchronization link sent by Lin!" But Femilis noticed the abnormality and immediately reminded.

Wang Chen immediately followed Femilis's instructions, turned on the special perspective and shared Lin's visual feedback. Sure enough, he saw the familiar black energy pouring into Fu Hua's room, and Wang Chen could feel that the surrounding illusion began to crack and shatter.

"Not good! When did the erosion start to erode Fu Hua? As expected, I can't feel this guy's breath unless I completely enter the illusion!" Wang Chen thought to himself that this was not good. He knew very well that the black energy came from the erosion power of the Herr Slayer of Erosion.

Chapter 326 A Bitter Choice

"An accident has occurred. I have to enter the world of illusion immediately to intervene. I want to prevent Fu Hua from being eroded and her mind being breached. Theresa, please take care of Lin for me. I'll go in first." After Wang Chen finished speaking, he immediately let go of the feather and threw himself into the illusion in an instant.

"Hey, Captain...really. Femilis, can you contact the captain? What's the situation now?" Theresa looked at Femilis who had just given a reminder and asked.

"You don't have special perception powers, so you didn't notice it. Just as Lin said just now, a large amount of black energy appeared and was constantly pouring into Fu Hua's room. If you feel that energy yourself, you must be very familiar with it. It is the erosion power of the Herrscher of Erosion."

Femilis tapped some virtual keyboards seriously, and then a light blue interface was projected onto Fu Hua's room. For a moment, a large amount of dark energy fluctuations appeared on the light blue screen, and everyone present saw how the energy was poured into Fu Hua's room.

"How could this happen? When did these energies appear?" Theresa said in surprise.

"Not long after Brother Wang Chen finished talking about the Ruler of Corrosion, a large amount of black energy suddenly appeared and poured into Fu Hua's room." Lin explained.

"Strange, we can't see any energy here. Lin, how can you see this energy? Until now, I can't see anything strange about Senior Fu Hua's room." Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple asked puzzledly.
