Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Lin Yi: "Don't waste time explaining such a small matter. I was just about to call you—I have some clues about the 'Mirror of Memories' and 'Onpharos.' I was just about to let you know when you contacted me first."

Screw Gum: "Thank you for your attention. However, I have successfully obtained the 'Mirror of Memories' from Lord Stephen and have also learned some information about 'Onpharos'."

"In addition, there is some special news about you."

Lin Yi sighed, "I bet we've both found ourselves in the same faction. We know the same things. Is it the news that the memory thief and my memories were put into Onpharos?"

Screw Gum: "It seems we are indeed heading in the same direction."

"The coincidences of fate are truly wonderful."

Lin Yi: "It's hard to say whether it's a coincidence of fate or not. We'll only know if there are any hidden forces pulling the strings when we go there."

"By the way, now that I've got the Mirror of Memories, do I have the coordinates for Onpharos?"

Chapter 267 Come and see Ruan Mei, she inadvertently gave Yi Ting another big surprise.

Screw Gum: "Unfortunately, no. The Memories of the Memory Court rely on memes to travel back and forth via special paths, without any marked coordinates."

Screw Gum: "It might take some time to deduce and crack the code afterwards. And even if we find it, we might not be able to easily enter."

"Logically, based solely on the fragmentary descriptions of those who recall the events, I can make a judgment that the blockade there may not be so simple."

Lin Yi: "We'll just deal with whatever comes our way. Once we find the spot, it'll be simple. At worst, we'll just cut it with a sword. I don't believe any turtle shell can stop the decay engine's foundational tearing."

Screw Gum's voice remained unchanged: "Perhaps we don't need to resort to extremes. My suggestion: perhaps we could seek assistance from 'exploration'."

Lin Yi: "Star Train? Hmm~ If they're willing to join, using the power of pioneering is indeed a good idea. But the train crew might not agree, after all, according to Qiong, the train crew lost one person (March) as soon as they got close to there."

Lin Yi seemed to suddenly remember something: "But more than that, I'm curious about what happened to the other me made up of those memories?"

"Based on the information we have now, 'Onfaros' is likely a world composed of memory matter and data."

"Perhaps that part of 'me' can move freely? I'm not a person who's content to stay in one place; I might be harboring something big inside."

Lin Yi thought carefully about himself during that period. His knowledge and talent were far inferior to what they are now. It was just a memory, and he didn't have the true Lin Yi's destiny energy.

But Lin Yi believed in his ability to create entertaining content.

They didn't even know what role they themselves played in Onphalus.

ScrewGumm replied simply, "Thinking... Loading thread... The danger level of 'Onpharos' has been increased by two levels."

Lin Yi immediately objected: "Hey! You can't be that serious!"

Screw Gum: "Just kidding, Mr. Lin Yi. I don't think you'll mind."

Oh no! Where did that gentlemanly screw go? Give it back right now!

It seems that Screw Gum's equation regarding the emotions of organic life has made great progress.

Screw Gum: "I still have some special experiments I want to conduct. Since Mr. Lin Yi already knows this information, I won't bother you any longer."

Lin Yi: "See you later, Screw~ I'm going to check out the Black Tower's movements too."

The mechanical butterfly dispersed again, becoming part of the conceptualized 'Screw Gum'.

Lin Yi has caught far too many memory thieves. The number he's apprehended so far is dozens of times greater than the last count. The number of incinerators has also increased several times over.

Lin Yi divided these people into two groups: one group was left for Yi Ting, and the other was taken away.

Further investigation yielded no results. Almost all the Memory ...

Yi Ting had quite a few good things, but we only managed to snatch a tiny fraction of them.

However, things were more urgent at Black Tower, so Lin Yi planned to go there first to see if he could help her in any way.

You should know that those memories were all intended to be stored in the "Phase Walker"!

If it's really installed, that would be terrible. It's all about backups and won't update the data.

This amount of information is enormous. Lin Yi even doubted whether his divine body could hold all of it.

Lin Yi followed the markers and went up to find Black Tower, who was looking unwilling and knocking and smashing things here and there.

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Oh~ Director of the demolition office? What's Hei Ta up to?"

Black Tower said irritably, "Looking for something! Shouldn't this be the place last time? What's so strange?"

Lin Yi: "What are you looking for? Do you need any help?"

Black Tower turned around: "Have you finished with your own business?"

Lin Yi displayed two complex spatial structures of the Recursive Cube: "We've arrested everyone we needed to, and we've also uncovered a lot of information about those with ulterior motives. Basically, there's nothing to worry about."

"There were only two memory envoys from beginning to end, and they are currently trapped."

Black Tower: "Perfect timing! Help me check where the spatial structure is unusual, see if there are any hidden spatial structures or anything like that!"

"Last time I wiped out the 'World Memories,' this time I'll use your 'Phase Walker' to package and copy other 'Event Memories,' 'People Memories,' and 'Thing Memories.'"

“It would take a long time to slowly replicate without taking the whole pot, so I plan to look for memories that are different from these ordinary ones. Absolute treasures personally recorded by Fu Li.”

"I was thinking of looking for some top-tier scoops like the birth of Nanook, but I found nothing."

"All I found was the recording of that useless old man Fleming's retirement speech."

Lin Yi waved his hand: "How can you find such a big scoop so easily? There are quite a few things that Fu Li personally recorded. The Star God's birth memory that you got last time was already the rarest one."

"I even suspect that Fu Li gave it to you on purpose."

Black Tower: "Stop talking nonsense~ Help me find it!"

Lin Yi readily agreed: "Okay~"

Lin Yi: "Hey! There are quite a few, but... this spatial structure is too complex. It's like it's made up of countless irregularly shaped broken mirrors. I can't tell where anything is."

"If we try and fail one by one, we could spend decades just trying things out of this room alone. Do you still want to try?"

Lin Yi: "It is obvious that the memories stored by Fu Li are completely independent from the memories that the Memory Makers have collected themselves."

“Taking the things of Shan Jiantian and taking the things of Fuli are two different concepts. I even suspect that I am seeing a corner of Fuli’s divine body from an alternative perspective.”

Black Tower adjusted his hat brim: "Thinking about it this way, perhaps that memory of destruction and birth really was deliberately given to us by the 'Star God of Memory'?"

"Tsk~ So what's the meaning behind Fu Li's retirement speech to the company's board of directors?"

Lin Yi shrugged: "Who knows?"

At this moment, a plum blossom mark appeared out of thin air beside Lin Yi and in front of Hei Ta, and Ruan Mei's voice came from it: "Can you all hear this? I have some bad news."

This was clearly not a one-sided message but a call to everyone.

Lin Yi: "I'm here."

Black Tower: "Me too."

Because Ruan Mei swiped everyone's messages at once, it turned into a group chat channel.

Ruan Mei’s slightly apologetic voice came: “I’m sorry… When I was conducting some control experiments, it seems that I attracted the Star-Shattering King Worm Skarakabaz, which was lurking in the Heaven of Good Vision.”

Black Tower scoffed: "Didn't we anticipate running into a bug? It's a good thing it came out on its own, otherwise we'd have to look for it."

Ruan Mei paused slightly, as if she were colliding with something: "My apology is not because of this, but because it swallowed the unit I was experimenting with when it appeared."

"That is the incompletely conceived Wings of the Insect King, Eledishina."

Black Tower: "..."

Chapter 268 What does it mean for an experiment to be a multi-group controlled experiment? What does it mean to eat everything?

Ruan Mei: "To control the variables, I also added a small amount of reproductive remains to the experimental subject. Those remains were swallowed by Skarakkabaz along with the embryo of the Insect King's Wings..."

Lin Yi: "6"

Lin Yi suddenly understood Polka Kakamo and felt a sense of empathy for him.

Geniuses can pull off a huge job if you're not careful.

I don't know much about Ruan Mei's situation, but just from this description, I know it's terrible.

Could this be a kind of gene completion?

Lin Yi didn't believe Ruan Mei wouldn't have imagined that the connection between people with the same fate would attract the Star-Shattering King Worm. It was most likely intentional.

Yu Qingtu: "Ruan Mei, you have such a good thing? Could you spare some for me? Just one gram will do~"

Lin Yi: "Weren't you guys acting together?"

Yu Qingtu: "I'm going deep-sea diving to find extreme emotions that meet the requirements. But now is not the time to talk about this."

Yu Qingtu: "I remember Ruan Mei, your experimental practice is to conduct multiple groups simultaneously, compare and fine-tune in real time, and control variables... so..."

Yu Qingtu suddenly looked startled.

Ruan Mei nodded softly, "Mmm..."

Lin Yi was also startled: "Could it be that there's more than one, and all of them..."

Ruan Mei: "......"

Ruan Mei: "Hmm~"

Although Lin desperately didn't want a positive answer, things often go in the direction people don't want to go.

Hei Ta rubbed his forehead and shook his head slightly: "Then you really should apologize."

Lin Yi couldn't help but complain, "Ruan Mei, are you playing a jigsaw puzzle here? Do you really have to finish the 'breeding' puzzle?"

"Or do you, like me, have some kind of grudge against 'Flowing Light and Memories' and are deliberately trying to sabotage them?"

Ruan Mei: "I am... sorry... I did not intentionally guide the current situation, but after some opportunities arose, I did deliberately let things develop unchecked."

"If there are any results afterward... I will share a copy with everyone."

Ruan Mei's voice was intermittent, and it was clear that things were quite lively where she was.

Screw Gum spoke up at this moment, his voice still calm and peaceful, giving people a sense of security: "Everyone, I think the most urgent task now is to help Ms. Ruan Mei get out of the current situation."

Screw Gum: "Furthermore, I may also bear some responsibility for this incident. I apologize to Ms. Ruan Mei and everyone else."

Lin Yi: "Hmm?"

No? There are other experts?

"The concept of 'swarm' not only fits the insect swarm and family, but the compatibility of inorganic life with 'swarm' may not be as good as the former two."

"But it is also an exceptionally good fit."

"Therefore, I want to delve deeper into the principles of 'swarming' within insect swarms."

Black Tower remained calm and unperturbed, seemingly unconcerned about Ruan Mei's situation: "And then? What did you do, Screw?"

Seeing that the topic had to be changed again, Stephen, the honest kid who had been watching the screen for a long time, couldn't help but speak up.

Stephen Lloyd: "Um...should we go and support Nguyen Mai first...we can probably review these things later."

Ruan Mei: "Thank you, Stephen~ But I'm fine... There's no rush, let's listen to the rest first."

However, the clanging and banging noises suggested that nothing was wrong.

Since the person in question says everything is fine, then let's just assume everything is fine.

Screw Gum: "I invoked 423 'atomic-level intelligent mechanical units,' mimicking an inorganic swarm, and constantly integrated them into the normal swarm."

"Perhaps a series of behaviors stimulated the Starshattering King Beetle, making it exceptionally active. That's why the Starshattering King Beetle O-Skarakabaz noticed Ms. Ruan O-Mei's experiment."

Wow, everyone's a pro!

What else could Lin Yi say? Let's get ready to fight the boss!

Lin Yi: "Sigh~ Ruan Mei, tell me the details on your side first. How many of your experimental subjects did the Star Shattering Insect King devour?"

"And its current approximate assessment... well, how strong Skarakkabaz is now, if we use Illusion as a benchmark."

"Let's first determine if it's a crucial link in this 'moment'."

Ruan Mei: "Because the unique environment of Shan Jian Tian does indeed have a certain advantage for my experiments. The overflowing pheromones from the Memory Sea can complement the experimental individuals to a certain extent."

"Normally, there's little opportunity to conduct such dangerous experiments on Sudarsana. I can only do them briefly during this time. Therefore, I'm conducting quite a few experiments simultaneously..."

Lin Yi really wanted to complain, "You actually know it's dangerous?" But he remained outwardly calm.

Lin Yi: Speak like a human being.
