Chapter 571: The Corporation is ruthless, actually turning a Genius Society member into a Dreambubble!
"Ms. Herta makes sense; we should indeed focus on matters concerning Dr. Chadwick first."
Sunday nodded politely to Ms. Herta, turned around, and knocked on Dr. Chadwick's door.
"Dr. Chadwick, hello."
"May we come in?"
Sunday spoke in a gentle voice, yet no sound came from inside the room.
"As expected, is he unable to respond to us right now?"
Sunday furrowed his brow slightly and looked at Moira, a member of the Bloodhound Family.
"Y-Yes, Dr. Chadwick's current state indeed makes it impossible for him to respond or open the door."
"If Lord Sunday doesn't mind, please use this."
Moira tremblingly handed over a room card.
Although the fact that the dreaming Chadwick was a dreambubble had nothing to do with her, Moira still worried that Sunday would blame her after seeing the truth about Chadwick.
What she worried about even more was that the three Geniuses—Ms. Herta, Ruan Mei, and Screwllum—would vent their anger on her upon seeing their colleague turned into the appearance of a dreambubble.
[Kaveh: As expected, Chadwick is in a state where he has no way to respond.]
[Alhaitham: Black Swan once mentioned that Chadwick had already died, so it's only normal that he has no way to respond to the knock.]
[Albedo: But even so, he is still able to dream and enter Penacony within the dreamscape. Just what kind of methods did the people from the Corporation and the Family use to accomplish this?]
[Lisa: Let's hope Chadwick's condition isn't too bad, though that possibility shouldn't be very high.]
[Signora: After all, Chadwick's state, even within the dreamscape, is extremely abnormal.]
"Unable to respond, huh."
Sunday took the room card, his brows furrowing even tighter.
Although entering a guest's room without permission was not compliant with regulations, nor was it what Sunday desired,right now, he had no choice but to do so.
"Please forgive my unauthorized entry into the room, Dr. Chadwick."
Sunday whispered a word, unlocked the main door with the room card, and led everyone inside.
Immediately, an aura of extreme cold enveloped everyone who had entered the room.
"S-So cold!"
"Isn't the guest room's temperature a bit too low?"
Collei crossed his arms and shivered involuntarily.
"It really is a bit strange; clearly a fire is burning in the fireplace,"
"yet the temperature in the room is like an ice cellar. How strange."
Sigewinne looked toward the fireplace and said in a low voice.
"This also indirectly indicates that Dr. Chadwick's current state is indeed abnormal."
"After all, a normal person wouldn't be able to survive in such an environment for an extended period."
Venti said, looking around curiously.
A moment later, he propped his chin up with a strange expression, muttering:
"Ultimately, there's no trace of Dr. Chadwick in the room at all."
"Even the dream-entering pool is empty, with only a floating memoria… Wait, a memoria?!"
Venti swallowed, his eyes wide, as he stared at the memoria floating in the dream-entering pool.
Even as someone who had only just arrived at Penacony and checked into the Daydream Hotel not long ago, he knew how incongruous it was for a memoria to appear in the dream-entering pool.
"No way, it can't be what I'm thinking, can it…?"
Venti's mouth hung open, instinctively wanting to deny the answer that had come to his mind.
If Chadwick had really been turned into a memoria, that would be too cruel.
"It seems Venti has thought of it too."
"Though it's a bit harsh, I think we should face reality."
The Knave looked at Venti, then at Black Swan.
Black Swan nodded and said:
"I believe your conjecture is correct. That memoria lingering in the dream-entering pool is likely the Chadwick we are looking for.
"Black Swan is a Memokeeper, so her words naturally carried considerable weight.
As her voice fell, everyone in the room stepped closer to the dream-entering pool.
Screwllum reached out and retrieved the memoria from the dream-entering pool, letting it float in mid-air.
"So it is."
"We meet again, Dr. Chadwick."
Screwllum said softly.
"Mr. Screwllum, are you… are you sure it's Chadwick?"
Robin asked, her hands clasped tightly, a hint of panic in her voice.
"Naturally."
"I met Dr. Chadwick in the Penacony Dreamscape before."
"The aura emanating from this memoria is identical to Dr. Chadwick in the dreamscape."
Screwllum explained.
"Indeed, even I feel a familiar aura from the memoria."
The Knave nodded in agreement.
Looking at the memoria before her, The Knave felt as if she was seeing Chadwick himself.
[Kaveh: Alright, the reality is even more exaggerated than I imagined. I originally thought Chadwick's body at least still existed, perhaps frozen, or preserved in some other form.
But I never expected that Chadwick now has no body at all, only this memoria left?]
[Doctor: It's surprising. To think that a person, even after becoming a memoria, can still enter the dreamscape through the dream-entering pool.]
[Ningguang: To some extent, this further proves the unique nature of the Penacony Dreamscape, but Chadwick's current situation is indeed regrettable.]
[Mavuika: A genius, reduced to a state of unknown life or death. It truly leaves one at a loss for words.]
[Yae Miko: So, is Chadwick's soul and will sealed within the memoria? Was this achieved by the Company, or the Family, or both?]
[Doctor: If we could know the means by which this was achieved, could it be applied to the Akasha System in Sumeru?]
[Nahida: Please don't entertain such dangerous thoughts, Doctor. I will not allow it.]
[Doctor: Heh heh, I merely proposed an idea. Rest assured, I have no immediate plans to visit your region.]
After all, Nahida is also a Pathstrider, and one who embarked on the Path of Remembrance immediately upon entering the universe.
Even if Doctor was confident in himself, he couldn't be certain he could steadily defeat Nahida.
Not to mention, Aaru Village also has Candace, the Navigator of the Astral Express.
Doctor had no immediate plans to target countries with Astral Express routes.
At least for the representative deities of these countries, Doctor did not wish to make enemies of them for now.
Unless one day, Luo Feng changed his attitude and withdrew the established Astral Express routes.
Although such a thing had never happened so far.Doctor believed it was not impossible.
For example, if all the people of Mondstadt became the "Mondstadt Babies" that Luo Feng disliked.
Would Luo Feng still allow Mondstadt to have Astral Express routes?
At least in Doctor's opinion, such a possibility was too small.
While Jean, Lisa, and others were alive, the possibility of Mondstadt degenerating into a nation of "Mondstadt Babies" was not high.
But the future was uncertain.
Doctor considered his lifespan to be very long; he had plenty of time to wait.
"The only variable is that Luo Feng might bestow abundance fruit upon certain Teyvat residents, making Lisa, Jean, and others long-lived species."
"…I hope that man Luo Feng isn't too generous. I hope he focuses more on women like Black Swan and Robin."
"Don't give those Teyvat women too many opportunities to curry favor with him."
Doctor gazed deeply at Luo Feng on the forum screen, his low, deep voice echoing through the laboratory, occasionally punctuated by the chirping of insects…
"As a short-lived species, the probability of Dr. Chadwick's physical body surviving until now is infinitesimally close to zero."
"To this day, no known life-extending technology can prolong the lifespan of ordinary humans for two Amber Eras."
As Screwllum's words fell, Ruan Mei agreed, saying:
"Ordinary methods cannot preserve Chadwick's physical body for two Amber Eras."
"But given Penacony's advanced understanding of memoria, it might be possible to extract the underlying material from Chadwick's brain, allowing Chadwick's consciousness to continue living in the Penacony Dreamscape."
Hearing this, Robin felt even more uneasy."Did the Family members of Penacony really do such a thing?"
Robin sighed.
"Ruan Mei merely proposed a possibility, and Dr. Chadwick's incident occurred before you were born."
"So I think you don't need to worry too much, Miss Robin."
Luo Feng comforted her.
"That may be true, but the fact that Dr. Chadwick appeared here remains."
"We… Penacony still cannot escape responsibility."
Robin shook her head and said in a low voice.
"If anyone can't escape responsibility, it would have to be the people from the Company."
"If you ask me, Chadwick turned out this way."
"It's more likely that the Company utilized the technology provided by Garden of Recollection to seal the memoria from Chadwick's brain into a memoria."
Ms. Herta propped her chin with one hand, analyzing.
As her words fell, The Knave, Raiden Ei, Venti, and others involuntarily glanced at Black Swan.
"Please don't look at me that way, everyone. I was not involved in Dr. Chadwick's matter."
"Furthermore, I wouldn't go so far as to do such a cruel thing."
Black Swan stated.
"Can't be helped, you're from Garden of Recollection after all."
Luo Feng placed a hand on Black Swan's shoulder and chuckled.
"That may be true, but it's not necessarily as Ms. Herta said, that the Company used technology provided by Garden of Recollection to turn Chadwick into this state."
Black Swan said.
As a member of Garden of Recollection, she still wanted to advocate for its reputation.
If Luo Feng's perception of Garden of Recollection could improve even slightly.
Perhaps the possibility of Luo Feng allowing her to explore his relevant memories would increase.
"Is that really the case?"
Luo Feng smiled, then looked at Sunday, who was holding his phone and seemed to be contacting someone, and asked:
"I wonder what Mr. Sunday thinks about this?"
Hearing this, Sunday looked at Luo Feng, Black Swan, and others and said:
"I just asked some relevant people from the Family and learned more about Dr. Chadwick from them."
"As Mr. Luo Feng and Ms. Herta said, the Company did indeed use Garden of Recollection's technology to seal Chadwick's thoughts into a memories bubble."
"Of course, that was after Dr. Chadwick's physical body died."
Speaking of this, Sunday breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It was a good thing the Interstellar Peace Corporation waited until Chadwick died before doing this.
Otherwise, even if Penacony was a participant, they would have to bear some responsibility for killing the genius Chadwick.
That being said, even now, Penacony's Family side is still inextricably linked to the Chadwick incident.
"The memoria sealed in the memories bubble cannot remain active for a long time. If it is not processed and stored for too long,"
"Dr. Chadwick's memoria will eventually become useless, so the people from the Company reached an agreement with Penacony at that time."
"To keep Chadwick's memoria active by entering Penacony in the dream."
Sunday said this, raised his hand to his chest, and solemnly said to Screwllum and the others:
"For this, I express my deepest regret."
[Lisa: I see, so this is the cause and effect of the Chadwick incident.]
[Rhinedottir: Used Garden of Recollection's technology to extract memoria, and used Penacony's special nature to maintain the memoria's activity?]
[Dr.: Unfortunately, whether it is the former or the latter, it is very difficult to achieve.]
[Lisa: In that case, why not just give up honestly? Don't think about imitating the Company's actions?]
[Dr.: Having seen such methods, how can one not try to study them? Even if we cannot reach the level of the Company and the Family temporarily, through experiments, we might also get some other hints.]
[Dehya: As expected, it's exactly what Dr. would say.]
[Candace: Next, Chadwick should be able to rest completely, right?]
....
Chapter 572: Luo Feng Has the Power of "Order"? Sunday Feels Perplexed
"Mr. Luo Feng, aren't you joining the geniuses' discussion?"
Inside Dr. Chadwick's room, Black Swan came to the sofa where Luo Feng was sitting and asked curiously.
"Sunday, the current spokesperson for Penacony, is chatting with three geniuses from the Genius Society, discussing matters related to Dr. Chadwick.
How could a small person like me dare to participate?"
Luo Feng said with a smile.
"I think Mr. Luo Feng, you are not an ordinary person."
Black Swan shook her head and sat down beside Luo Feng.
"Although Mr. Luo Feng, you are not from the Genius Society, nor are you from Penacony."
"But if you hadn't participated, the Chadwick matter would still be endlessly hidden under the brilliance of Penacony, wouldn't it?"
Black Swan said with a hint of emotion.
"Who knows, perhaps even without me, someone destined would participate."
Luo Feng shrugged, thinking of the Stelle who had not yet arrived at Penacony.
Logically speaking, Himeko, March 7th, Stelle, and the others should be arriving at Penacony soon.
But after chatting with Ruan Mei before, he learned that Himeko and the others had gone to another place to search for some giant beast bones for Ruan Mei after visiting the Car Wash Planet, which is why they were delayed in going to Penacony.
So, it would probably take some time for him to reunite with Himeko, Stelle, and the others.
"If besides you, someone else could still detect Dr. Chadwick's matter,"
"Then this person must also be someone who carries quite wonderful memories."
Black Swan said with a smile.
"Hearing you say that, are you still after my memories, Black Swan?"
Luo Feng opened his mouth and glanced at Black Swan who was sitting close beside him.
"Yes, I want to understand you, Luo Feng, all the time."
"If I can obtain more wonderful memories from you by paying a certain price,"
"Please be sure to tell Mr. Luo Feng, and I will find a way to pay that price."
Black Swan placed her hand on her chest and said solemnly.
Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and scanned Black Swan in front of him.
It has to be said, Black Swan is indeed worthy of being someone who can team up with Kafka in the Star Rail game.
The two of them are quite a match in terms of looks and sexiness.
What's even more commendable is that Kafka is good at music, and Black Swan is good at dancing.
The talents these two are good at are both talents that Luo Feng likes.
Not to mention, Black Swan also has an excellent skill of enjoying dancing with Luo Feng.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Feng could indeed pay something in exchange for Black Swan's performance, or the opportunity to dance with her.
But to pay the price with his own memories...
"Sorry, after thinking about it, I still feel that I am a very private person."
"I don't think you can afford the price that would make me willing to share my privacy with you."
Luo Feng put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and said.
"Is that so? That's truly a shame."
Black Swan sighed slightly.But soon, she cheered up again and raised her hand to Luo Feng's shoulder.
"Luo Feng seems to want to rest.If you need a pillow, I can provide one."
Black Swan smiled, looking at Luo Feng's profile.
"I appreciate the offer..."
Before Luo Feng finished speaking, he felt his arm being pulled by Black Swan.
Then his body fell towards Black Swan, and his head landed on her thigh.
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo Feng"
"I won't ask you for a price because of this."
"Rather, it is my honor to be in close contact with someone as special as you.
"Black Swan placed her hand on Luo Feng's cheek and said with a smile.
"In that case, shouldn't you be paying me the price, Ms. Black Swan?"
Luo Feng looked at Black Swan, whose expression froze, and said with a smile:
"Just kidding, I hope you don't mind."
After speaking, he closed his eyes again under Black Swan's resentful gaze.
System, start the lottery, twice.
Now that he had free time and there was nothing for him to do, Luo Feng could finally focus on his System panel.
The lottery chances he obtained when The Knave stepped onto the Path twice had not yet been used.
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the "Sunday Template", with the exclusive light cone "A Grounded Ascent" included.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the "Robin Template", with the exclusive light cone "Flowing Nightglow" included.]
Huh? The two siblings came together?Luo Feng opened his eyes in surprise.
"What's wrong, Mr. Luo Feng?"
"Did my leather boot hit you?"
Black Swan noticed Luo Feng's movement and quickly asked.
"Although the texture of leather boots is definitely not as good as skin, it didn't hit me."
Luo Feng denied it.
"That is... hmm?"
Black Swan was about to ask when she suddenly saw two light cones appear on Luo Feng's right hand, which was resting on her thigh.
As a Memokeeper, Black Swan immediately felt the powerful energy gathered on the two light cones.
"Could it be that your Memokeeper friend sent you the light cones?"
Black Swan lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
You can understand it that way.
Luo Feng flipped the two light cones sideways and looked at the images engraved on them.
Luo Feng naturally recognized Robin's exclusive light cone, "Flowing Nightglow".
But Sunday's light cone, "A Grounded Ascent", was a bit of a test for Luo Feng.
Sunday's template is paired with his exclusive light cone, so does this mean the boss of the Penacony chapter in the game will become a playable character?
A Grounded Ascent... Does that mean Sunday, after facing failure, will set off again?
Luo Feng furrowed his brow slightly, thinking to himself.
Before transmigrating, Luo Feng had only played up to version 2.3 of the game.
As for Sunday, he only roughly knew that after Sunday's failure, he was released by Jade of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
As for what he would experience afterward, Luo Feng had no impression at all.
However, through Sunday's exclusive light cone, perhaps some aspects of his future can be seen... The light cone should depict Sunday's future events.
Luo Feng muttered in his heart.
"Mr. Luo Feng, the light cone in your hand seems to carry something quite interesting."
"I wonder if I have the honor of observing the memories within?"
Suddenly, Ms. Black Swan's voice, accompanied by a warm breeze, entered Luo Feng's ears.
Luo Feng turned his head, looked at Ms. Black Swan's exquisite face which was close at hand, and said with embarrassment:
"You really spare no effort, Ms. Black Swan."
"After all, I am a Memokeeper."
Ms. Black Swan looked at Luo Feng's reaction, her smile almost melting.
Even though Luo Feng felt helpless, he did not continue to use forceful means to refuse her.
For example, pulling her mind into the blood-red space and kneading it for a while.
This made Ms. Black Swan feel more and more that the strategy she was currently employing was correct.
Luo Feng, this man with wonderful memories, is someone who responds to gentleness but not force.
If she continued to persist gently, perhaps she could really get some rewards from Luo Feng.
Thinking of this, Ms. Black Swan's expression became even gentler.
If others saw Ms. Black Swan's expression, they might all think that Ms. Black Swan was Luo Feng's lover.
No, it should be said that someone already thinks so.
Lumine watched Ms. Black Swan, biting her handkerchief, wishing she could take her place.
Ms. Herta also came near Luo Feng and Ms. Black Swan with a look of disdain, saying speechlessly:
"Looks like you've got another new girlfriend, Luo Feng. You're quite enjoying yourself."
"What, are you jealous, Herta?"
Luo Feng turned his head to look at Ms. Herta and asked with interest.
"Yes, yes, I'm jealous, you've been coming to see me less often lately."
"You don't even come to Herta Space Station to test with me anymore."
Ms. Herta said, putting her hands on her hips.
"I can't help it, every time I go there, you appear as a small Herta."
"When you appear in your true form, I might go there one or two more times and properly 'favor' you."
Luo Feng knew that Ms. Herta was joking about being jealous, and also knew that Ms. Herta had a playful personality, so he was happy to talk about something bolder with her.
Of course, Ms. Herta had the same idea.
"Alright, I'll see you in my true form when I'm free."
"At that time, you must properly 'favor' me."
Ms. Herta folded her arms, especially emphasizing the tone of the word "favor".
Luo Feng: "The premise is that your true form is good-looking enough."
Herta: "Don't worry, this lady is naturally beautiful."
Luo Feng: "But you are very old."
Herta: "But I've become young again."
Luo Feng: "Doesn't that mean you've become a young girl? Sorry, I'm not interested in young girls."
Herta: "...Damn, my true form is bigger than this body I have now, is that okay?"
Luo Feng: "Oh... so it's a big Herta? I'm starting to get interested."
Herta: "Heh heh, just look forward to it, Luo Feng."
Beside them, Sunday watched the interaction between Luo Feng and Ms. Herta, looked at Screwllum and Ms. Ruan Mei beside him with some confusion, and asked:
"Could it be that Mr. Luo Feng and Ms. Herta are actually in a relationship as lovers?"
Screwllum shook his head and explained:
"That is not the case, it is just a special way Lord Luo Feng and Ms. Herta interact."
"I see, their relationship is really close then."
Sunday said in a low voice, his opinion of Luo Feng rising even higher in his heart.
To be able to speak to Ms. Herta of the Genius Society in such a tone, even if they were not lovers, they were probably very close.
Such a Luo Feng couldn't help but make Sunday pay more attention to him.
"Speaking of lovers, I don't mind becoming Luo Feng's lover."
Ms. Ruan Mei lightly stroked her hair, a slight smile on her face.
"!!!" Sunday, Robin, and Ms. Black Swan looked at Ms. Ruan Mei in shock.
What is this, a genius's confession?
Or is Ms. Ruan Mei also joking with Luo Feng like Ms. Herta?
Although Sunday and the others knew little about Ms. Ruan Mei, Ms. Ruan Mei didn't seem like someone who would joke like Ms. Herta.
So, is Ms. Ruan Mei really planning to become Luo Feng's lover?
Sunday's throat bobbed, and his gaze towards Luo Feng became more cautious.
If the plan were to involve Luo Feng, or even make Luo Feng fall asleep in the beautiful dream within the plan, would Ms. Herta, Ms. Ruan Mei, and others intervene?
Sunday took a deep breath, silently calculating in his heart whether he should adjust the plan regarding Order's Dream based on Luo Feng.
However, what is going on?
Why do I feel a familiar power on Luo Feng now?
It's like... the power of "Order" that I currently possess?
Sunday, who had just obtained the "Sunday Template", looked at Luo Feng in front of him, muttering in confusion in his heart.
"I think you're just lusting after Luo Feng's body, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Ruan Mei."
Ms. Herta turned around and said to Ms. Ruan Mei.
In response, Ms. Ruan Mei just smiled and didn't speak.
To others, Ms. Ruan Mei seemed to have acquiesced to Ms. Herta's words.
[Dr.: If it's Ms. Ruan Mei, it's understandable.]
[Rhinedottir: As a researcher specializing in biological research, it's also normal to have the idea of wanting to study what kind of child would be born from the union of herself and Luo Feng.]
[Barbeloth: What about you, do you have such thoughts, Rhinedottir?]
[Alice: Yes, isn't your research direction somewhat similar to Ms. Ruan Mei's research direction?]
[Rhinedottir:...]
[Alice: Not speaking, it seems there are quite a few people lusting after Luo Feng's body.]
[Barbeloth: Makes sense.]
[Lisa: Yes, there are indeed many potential rivals. *scribbles*]
[Alice: You don't need to worry too much, given Rhinedottir's appearance, Luo Feng might not be interested in her.]
[Barbeloth: Makes sense.]
[Rhinedottir: You two, shut up!]
[Alice: Someone's getting anxious.]
[Barbeloth: It's a bit funny, but let's say less.]
[Alice: That's true, otherwise that guy is quite troublesome when she goes crazy.]
...
Chapter 573: Fallen Sunday? Robin Is A Bit Uneasy!
"Mr. Luo Feng is really popular."
Robin listened to the conversation between Ms. Herta and Ms. Ruan Mei and sighed.
"What's more surprising is that the people 'arguing' over Mr. Luo Feng are two geniuses from the Genius Society, Ms. Herta and Ms. Ruan Mei."
Ms. Black Swan sighed, looked at Luo Feng who had gotten off her lap and sat up straight again, and said:
"It seems like, Mr. Luo Feng, if I want to gain your favor, it will be quite difficult."
Hearing this, Luo Feng said with a smile:
"If you weren't here to pry into my privacy, with your conditions, it would be quite easy to gain my favor."
"That's hard to do,"
Black Swan sighed.
Not striving to see Luo Feng's Remembrance is like seeing a gleaming golden treasure chest and not taking action.
For Black Swan, restraining her impulses was truly difficult.
" Luo Feng is indeed a very special person, making one unable to resist exploring… Cough, cough!"
As Robin was speaking, she suddenly covered her throat and coughed.
"Are you alright, Robin?"
Sunday immediately looked over with concern.
"I'm fine, Brother."Robin shook her head.
Despite this, Sunday's furrowed brow did not relax.
Robin's voice had clearly returned to how it was before being "treated" by Luo Feng, and she had to rely on a voice device to speak.
Could it be that even Luo Feng's treatment only lasted for such a short time?
The current "noise" in Penacony was affecting Robin much more than expected.
Sunday frowned tightly, thinking to himself.
"Speaking of which, have you finished your discussion, Sunday, and the three Geniuses?"
Luo Feng looked at Sunday, Screwllum, Ruan Mei, and Herta and asked."
Yes, we've pretty much finished."
Herta nodded and said:
"Sunday invited us to negotiate with the Family members related to the Chadwick incident."
"If there are no surprises, Dr. Chadwick's Remembrance Bubble will eventually be handed over to Screwllum."
"Luo Feng, you should come with us too."
"Why should I go too?" Luo Feng shook his head.
"Isn't it enough for you three Geniuses to go?"
"Huh? You're withdrawing now?"
Herta widened her eyes in surprise.Luo Feng shrugged and said:
"After all, I'm not a Genius from the Genius Society, isn't it enough to follow the matter this far?"
"Besides, with you three Geniuses going to negotiate, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for a small light cone merchant like me to insert myself in there?"
Herta crossed her arms, pouting, and said:
"Everyone else likes to glorify themselves."
"But you, you keep wiping away the golden light on your face."
Sunday nodded in agreement, placed his left hand on his chest, and solemnly said to Luo Feng:
"Someone as special as Mr. Luo Feng is naturally qualified to participate in the negotiations."
"I think your presence will also make it easier for the relevant Family members to let go of Dr. Chadwick's Remembrance Bubble."
Luo Feng waved his hand and said:
"Let's forget about it for now. You guys go, and I'll stay here to guard Dr. Chadwick's Remembrance Bubble."
"This way, it can also prevent any accidents from happening here, right?"
Hearing this, Herta spread her hands helplessly and shook her head, saying:
"It seems like no matter what, you don't want to participate."
"Alright, it's just a formality anyway. It's the same with or without you."
"But the things in your hand… Luo Feng, you've got new stock?"
After Herta finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Luo Feng's shaking hand.
To be precise, their gaze landed on the two light cones clamped between Luo Feng's fingers.
"That's my portrait, and Brother's!"
Robin gasped and put her hands to her mouth, but soon she frowned.
Sunday's eyes also lit up, but like Robin, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes immediately after.
There was nothing wrong with the portrait engraved on Robin's exclusive light cone.
Both Sunday and Robin herself could see that the portrait on the light cone depicted a scene of Robin applying makeup.
However, the portrait engraved on Sunday's light cone left Robin and Sunday himself somewhat bewildered.
On Sunday's exclusive light cone, Sunday had a melancholic expression, with the wings on either side of his face slightly obscuring his eyes, as if concealing the tears that were falling from the corner of his eyes.
His hands, wrapped in thorns, reached out to receive a tiny other Sunday falling from the sky, seemingly having lost his halo.
No matter how Robin and Sunday looked at this light cone, they found it quite strange.
When did I ever shed tears?
Sunday frowned, thinking to himself if he had forgotten something.
Why is Brother crying?
And why are his hands covered in thorns as he reaches out to catch another version of himself?
What does the other falling Brother mean?
Robin took a deep breath, forcing herself to smile and say to Sunday:
"The clothes Brother is wearing in the light cone are really beautiful, but I've never seen you wear them."
"I wonder if I'll have a chance to see you wear that outfit."
"If possible, it would be even better to hear you talk about the past in the light cone."
Sunday had a bewildered look on his face and shook his head, saying:
"Sorry, Robin, I really don't remember wearing the outfit that the me in the light cone is wearing."
"Huh!" Robin was startled at first, then looked at Luo Feng in confusion.
She didn't think Sunday would lie.
Then, could the problem be with the light cone in Luo Feng's hand?
"I didn't expect Mr. Luo Feng to get my sister's light cone so quickly."
"Not only that, but you also managed to get your hands on a light cone related to me."
"I wonder if you would consider selling these two light cones you have to us?"
Sunday looked at Luo Feng and asked with a smile.
"Yes, please, Mr. Luo Feng, sell the light cones to us."
Robin also turned her head to look at Luo Feng.
"Aren't you two feeling confused about this light cone of Sunday's, 'A Grounded Ascent'?"
"If that's the case, why would you want to buy it?"
Luo Feng flicked Sunday and Robin's exclusive light cones, asking with a smile.
The light cones quietly floated in mid-air due to Luo Feng's power.
"A Grounded Ascent, huh… It is a bit peculiar, but I think I'll figure out the reason."
Sunday said.
"Let's hold off for now."
Luo Feng shook his head and said:
"I don't plan on selling light cones to customers when you have doubts about them."
"It would be fine if there were no problems, but if something goes wrong, it will affect my reputation."
"Before that, I can only sell the light cone suitable for Robin to you two siblings."
As Luo Feng's words fell, Sunday's exclusive light cone automatically flew back into Luo Feng's hand, leaving only Robin's exclusive light cone still suspended in the air.
"…Alright, please, Mr. Luo Feng, sell the light cone to Robin."
"Here are 40 billion credit points, please accept them."
Sunday thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
The three members of the Genius Society were still here, and he couldn't keep them waiting any longer.
And after all, he didn't have enough credit points with him to buy two light cones.
Even the black card with 40 Bill credit points on it was something he had prepared in advance after learning the price of exclusive light cones from Aventurine.
"Pleasure working with you."
Luo Feng happily took the black card, then looked at Robin beside him and said:
"This 'Flowing Nightglow' will be given to you."
"I hope you will forever be as radiant as the Remembrance within the light cone, Robin Miss."
"Thank you, Mr. Luo Feng." Robin Miss smiled and nodded.Although receiving her own exclusive light cone was a happy thing.
But Robin Miss still cared about Mr. Luo Feng taking back the exclusive light cone 'A Grounded Ascent' that belonged to Sunday.
"A Grounded Ascent"... The name of the light cone didn't seem to represent any beautiful meaning
.Just as the scene on this light cone showed.
However, Sunday, compared to himself, clearly cared more about Robin Miss.
"Sister, how do you feel?"
Seeing that after Robin Miss held her exclusive light cone in her hand, a strong Harmony power immediately enveloped her, Sunday couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I feel great, Brother."
"The light cone sold by Mr. Luo Feng is indeed very powerful."Robin Miss nodded heavily and said.
"Your voice... I see."
Sunday heard Robin Miss's voice return to normal and felt that these 40 billion credit points were truly worth it.
"Congratulations, Luo Feng, you've made so many credit points again."
"When will you give me an exclusive light cone too?"
Herta asked.
"Alright. I have seen a light cone suitable for you."
Luo Feng nodded.Although it was just the light cone "The Birth of the Self" which is only suitable for Herta Puppet.
As for Herta's own light cone... Mr. Luo Feng had never even seen what Herta's true form looked like, so naturally, he didn't know what Herta's true form's exclusive light cone was like.
That being said, he could even obtain the light cone of Sunday, the boss of the Penacony chapter.
Mr. Luo Feng felt that the probability of him obtaining the template and light cone of Herta's true form would also not be zero.
"Really? Then give it to me now?"
Herta pressed on.
"Talk about it when your true form appears before me."
"More importantly, don't let Ruan Mei, Screwllum, and Sunday wait for you too long."
Mr. Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Hmph, I've been waiting for you guys to finish talking all along."
Herta shook her head, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Screwllum, Ruan Mei, and Sunday greeted Mr. Luo Feng and then followed Herta out of Dr. Chadwick's room.
"Speaking of which, don't you need to go and take a look, Robin Miss?"
Mr. Luo Feng withdrew his gaze from Herta and the others and focused on Robin Miss, who had been staring at him intently.
"I believe Brother can handle the matters that follow."
"Compared to going with Brother to negotiate with the Family members."
"I think I should stay here with Mr. Luo Feng and guard Dr. Chadwick."
Robin Miss said.
"That may be true, but your gaze has been fixed on this light cone."
Mr. Luo Feng raised the Sunday exclusive light cone 'A Grounded Ascent' in his hand and said.
"Mm!" Miss Robin placed her hand on her chest and pleaded with Mr. Luo Feng:
"I don't know why, but this light cone in your hand, Mr. Luo Feng, gives me a very bad premonition."
"If possible, could I please see the Remembrance stored within the light cone?"
"Of course, I am willing to pay the corresponding price."
Mr. Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and looked into Miss Robin's eyes.
What a pair of firm eyes they were. Mr. Luo Feng understood that even if he refused, Miss Robin probably wouldn't give up.
"Today is truly special; everyone I meet is so stubborn."
Mr. Luo Feng looked at Black Swan, who returned a smile, and then Mr. Luo Feng looked at Miss Robin again.
"Forget it, it's not something that can't be shown to others anyway."
"If Miss Robin can promise to sing a few more songs for me in the future, I will let this Memokeeper beside me unlock the seal on the light cone."
Mr. Luo Feng said.
"Me?"Black Swan seemed a little confused when she heard herself suddenly being called out.
"You've followed me for such a long time, you should put in a little effort, Miss Black Swan ."
"Besides, aren't you yourself interested in this 'A Grounded Ascent'?"
Mr. Luo Feng pushed the light cone towards Black Swan and said.
After just obtaining the exclusive light cones of Miss Robin and Sunday, he had already browsed the relevant Remembrance within the two light cones.
That light cone of Sunday contained nothing that the current Miss Robin couldn't see.
At least from Mr. Luo Feng's perspective, the Remembrance in the light cone only revealed some self-reflection and introspection of Sunday after facing failure.
Although this introspection was a bit too early for Sunday, who had not yet experienced the failure in Penacony at this stage.
...
Chapter 574: If Tingyun returns, will she want to kill you, Phantylia?
"Alright, since Mr. Luo Feng trusts me so much, I will unleash its Remembrance."
A hint of a smile appeared in Black Swan's charming eyes.
After thinking for a moment, she roughly understood Mr. Luo Feng's idea.
Perhaps, Mr. Luo Feng didn't intend to display the Memokeeper's ability in front of Miss Robin .
After taking Sunday's exclusive light cone 'A Grounded Ascent', Black Swan injected her unique Memokeeper ability into the light cone.
Immediately, the light cone, which was originally a plain weapon, emitted a dazzling light.
After everyone present's eyes adjusted to the light, they were surprised to see the two Sundays, one large and one small, in the light cone move as if they had come alive.
At the same time, voices came out of the light cone out of thin air, falling into everyone's ears.
Miss Robin 's eyes widened even more; she heard clearly that it was the voice of her brother, Sunday.
[I once listened to the lamentations of the suffering as the sound of a bell, knowing that there is no god in this world who saves people for free.]
[To change anything, one can only rely on oneself!]
[The illusory delusion has shattered, and I have fallen from a great height.]
[I felt pain, but this is what I should feel.]
[Walking on the earth again, I once again saw all the suffering in the world, like an unending spring.]
[I heard the calls of the people, so I will cross the thorns.]
[There is always a paradise that needs to be built by people! Even if I melt and fall before touching it.]
[Look at that vow, like the sun in the sky, not constrained by violence, not persuaded by argument!]
[On this eighth day, I bestow upon myself "Departure".]
[Dr.: Oh... Was that Sunday actually a martyr?]
[Dainsleif: From the content shown in the light cone, that Sunday seems to be a noble person.]
[Kaeya: The Remembrance sealed in the light cone shouldn't lie. To some extent, this can indeed reflect Mr. Sunday's character.]
[Barbara: But it seems he has experienced some failures.]
[Lisa: And now, he has departed and has been walking for a while to create the "paradise" he spoke of?]
...
"That Mr. Sunday seems to be a very serious and kind person."
"If it's such a Mr. Sunday, I think he definitely has nothing to do with Dr. Chadwick's matter."
Venti looked at the light cone, which had returned to calm, and said.
"Yeah, yeah, I thought that Sunday was very serious before."
"As expected, my judgment of people is never wrong."
Paimon nodded heavily."
That's true, but isn't Miss Robin's expression a bit too exaggerated?"
"Could it be that she only just found out about her brother's dream?"
"Could there be something wrong with that light cone?"
Lumine stared at Robin's face and muttered strangely.
" Miss Robin , you should wake up."
Luo Feng took the light cone back from Black Swan and then waved his hand in front of Robin.
"Excuse me, Mr. Luo Feng, I was a bit distracted."Robin said.
"It's fine." Luo Feng shook his head, "As long as the scene just now satisfied your curiosity."
"Satisfied..."Robin sighed.
She did indeed see the content in the light cone.
But she felt that not only did it not satisfy her curiosity, but after seeing the Remembrance stored in the light cone, more doubts assailed Robin's heart.
"Falling from a high altitude, crossing thorns, setting off on the eighth day..."
"I don't remember my brother having such an experience."
"If he really had such an experience, I shouldn't have received even a tiny bit of news."
"Mr. Luo Feng, may I ask if the Remembrance sealed in the light cone is future Remembrance?"
Robin suddenly raised her head and asked Luo Feng.
"Impossible."Before Luo Feng could speak, Black Swan spoke first.
"Generally speaking, a light cone can only seal past Remembrance."
"As for sealing the future that a person has not yet experienced in a light cone..."
"That is a rather absurd thing."
Black Swan said.
"Is it possible that it's related to Terminus?"
Robin thought for a moment and asked Black Swan.
"Terminus, the aeon..."
Black Swan frowned and once again denied the idea Robin proposed.
"Impossible. The technology Garden of Recollection uses to create light cones..."
"Cannot preserve the prophecy of Terminus within them."
"That no longer belongs to the power of the Remembrance faction."
Black Swan said.
"Then, Black Swan, do you have a way to answer my doubts?"
"Why are there experiences in the light cone that my brother hasn't had?"
Robin asked."Well..."
Black Swan looked at Luo Feng, saying in a questioning tone:
"Could it be that the person in the light cone is not Sunday himself?"
"Not himself?" Robin also looked at Luo Feng with confusion.
If the Remembrance contained within the light cone did not belong to Sunday, it would seem reasonable.
However, the content that just emerged from the light cone did indeed match Sunday.
This made Robin feel quite conflicted.
"Even if you look at me like this, I have no way to answer your questions."
"If assuming the content in the light cone is unrelated to Sunday can bring you peace of mind, you can think of it that way."
Luo Feng smiled mysteriously.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Robin and Black Swan the truth of the matter.
"Perhaps there is a way to determine whether the content in the light cone matches Sunday himself."
"If it matches him, then when Sunday uses this light cone, he will definitely be able to exert more powerful strength than others when using it."
Paimon flew over and said.
"That's right!"
Robin nodded, her eyes fixed on Luo Feng.
"You talk too much, Paimon."
Luo Feng glanced at Paimon helplessly, then looked at Robin and said:
"Let's keep the light cone with me for now. As for having Sunday try using this light cone, let's decide that later."
"Anyway, I will be staying in Penacony for a while, so if Robin Miss wants to find me, you should be able to find me anytime, right?"
Hearing this, Robin nodded, took out her phone, and said:
"Mr. Luo Feng, you are right. In that case, let's exchange contact information first."
"It is my honor to get Robin Miss's contact information."
Luo Feng smiled and took out his phone.
"You are too modest, it should be my honor."
Robin said with a serious expression.
A person familiar with Ruan Mei, Screwllum, and Herta, three members of the Genius Society, a person who can produce a powerful light cone.
Such a man is definitely not a simple figure.
Robin felt that getting the contact information of such a man was much more difficult than getting the contact information of a big star.
...
After some time.
"Luo Feng, we're back."
Herta pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on her face.
"Looking at your expression, is it completely settled?"
Luo Feng looked over and asked.
"Naturally, it's settled, but Screwllum did most of the talking."
"You know, I still have some cooperation with the Company."
"So there are some things that are not convenient for me to say."
Herta shrugged her shoulders and walked over to Luo Feng.
"Herta, did my brother not come back with you?"
Robin asked curiously.
"After he finished dealing with this matter, he left quickly."
"He probably has a lot of things to attend to."
Herta explained.
"Is that so..."
Robin lowered her head, a little disappointed.
She had originally hoped that after Sunday came back, she would ask Luo Feng to let Sunday try that light cone with Sunday's portrait on it.
If the content depicted in the light cone was indeed about the future, as she had initially speculated.
Perhaps the power of that light cone could help Sunday overcome some crises.
What Robin didn't know was that at this stage, Sunday was still in the 'big boss' stage.
Given Luo Feng's personality, it was temporarily impossible for him to sell the light cone to Sunday.
Even if he were to sell it, it would have to wait until the Penacony grand event was over.
"Screwllum, are you going to take Chadwick's Remembrance Bubble next?"
Luo Feng stood up from his seat and looked at Screwllum, who had already picked up Chadwick's Remembrance Bubble.
"That's right. Dr. Chadwick's suffering has gone on for too long. It's time to give him peace."
"If Luo Feng doesn't mind, I'd like to use the equipment you have here to completely deactivate the memoria in the Remembrance bubble."
Screwllum said.
"...Alright."Luo Feng nodded.
Herta, Ruan Mei, and Screwllum had set up some advanced instruments on his Astral Express because they needed to study Phantylia before.
It was reasonable that Screwllum didn't choose to send the Remembrance bubble back to Herta Space Station at this time.
"Then, Robin Miss, Ms. Black Swan, I need to leave with the geniuses for a while. I hope you don't mind."
Luo Feng said.
"Can I not witness the end?"
Black Swan was startled and quickly asked.
"Haven't you already witnessed the end?"
"Chadwick's fate is sealed."
"Why don't you leave some private space for the geniuses?"
Luo Feng shook his head and said.
Joking aside, perhaps Chadwick would give the Imaginary Collapse Pulse to Herta before his consciousness completely disappeared, just like in the original story.
It's better for as few people as possible to know about the transfer of technology of this level.
"I understand, Mr. Luo Feng."
"I hope you can finish your work soon."
Robin said goodbye to Luo Feng and left the room.
Sunday couldn't return to this room.
She planned to go find Sunday and talk about what she had seen in the light cone earlier.
Perhaps she could learn something from Sunday.
"See how understanding Miss Robin is."
"Ms. Black Swan, since you're both birds, can't you also be an understanding bird?"
Luo Feng asked.
"If being understanding can help me learn more about your memories, I'd be very happy to do so."
Black Swan smiled.
"Alright, be more understanding from now on, and maybe I'll let you learn some special memories sometime."
Luo Feng patted Black Swan's shoulder and walked towards Herta, Ruan Mei, Screwllum, Acheron, Miss, and the Teyvat Passengers who were already ready.
Seeing Luo Feng disappear from the room with a group of people using the Trailblazing Power, Black Swan sighed softly.
"In the end, am I the only one left?"
Black Swan sighed.
"It's not like you're the only one left."
"Didn't the ordinary person also stay?"
Dr. Ratio spoke.
"That's true, but if it were you, you should have been able to follow along."
"I don't think Mr. Luo Feng would refuse you to see Chadwick off."
Black Swan said.
"As Luo Feng said, it's better to leave that kind of occasion for the geniuses to say goodbye to each other."
"I am merely an ordinary person, so it's better not to participate in the final farewell ceremony of the geniuses."
Dr. Ratio said.
"That being said, Acheron, Furina and Lumine, etc., were able to follow Luo Feng's footsteps."
Black Swan shook her head, still feeling a bit regretful in her heart.
She couldn't quite figure out why Acheron and the others could follow Luo Feng, when they were clearly not geniuses.
"They came with Luo Feng."
"Naturally, they can gain more trust from Luo Feng."
"As for you, if you really want to get Lord Luo Feng's memories, you should think of a reliable method."
Dr. Ratio left a sentence, put on his plaster mask, and left the room.
"A reliable method?" Black Swan frowned slightly, "But what method can be considered reliable?"
Black Swan struggled for a while, and finally turned into a meme and left the room.
Although the possibility was small, she still wanted to try to investigate Luo Feng's situation in Penacony.
Meanwhile, on the Astral Express.
"Ma... master?"
"Why did you suddenly come back?"
Phantylia, who was lying flat on the sofa resting, quickly stood up when she saw Luo Feng suddenly appear in the Astral Express observation car."
There's something I need to deal with."
Luo Feng looked Phantylia up and down, and in her nervous expression, he said:
"Speaking of which, if the resurrected Tingyun saw you here, would she immediately want to kill you?"
....
Chapter 575 Chadwick: I want to become a sharp sword, forever hanging over the heads of bullies.
"Huh? Who is Tingyun? Why would she kill me?"
Phantylia blinked her eyes and asked with a look of confusion.
"You really can't remember anything."
Luo Feng looked at Phantylia with some embarrassment.
"Di... did I accidentally offend that person named Tingyun before?"
Phantylia asked doubtfully.
"Yes, you did offend her."
"No, to be more precise, you almost burned her to ashes."
"Fortunately, the genius specializing in life science next to me saved her."
Luo Feng said.
"Uh! That... are you on good terms with her, master?"
Phantylia twitched the corner of her mouth and said.
Hearing Luo Feng say this, she knew what she had done to Tingyun back then.
Although she had lost some memories due to the missing part of her body.
But she still knew about her authority as a Lord Ravager.
It was likely that this person named Tingyun had undergone considerable torment at her hands.
"At least I have a good impression of her."
Luo Feng said.
"...If, I mean if, if she really wants to kill me."
"Master, would you be willing to protect me?"
Phantylia clasped her hands together at her abdomen and looked at Luo Feng with anticipation.
"Hehe, we'll see."
Luo Feng raised his hand.
Seeing this, Phantylia immediately bowed and bent down so that Luo Feng's hand could pat her shoulder.
Seeing Luo Feng lead Screwllum, Herta, Ruan Mei, and others out of the observation car, Phantylia sighed deeply and looked at Cocolia beside her.
"Cocolia, do you know that person named Tingyun?"
"Is she a vengeful person?"
Phantylia asked.
"I don't know much about Tingyun."
"I only know that you transformed into Tingyun's appearance back then and launched a series of actions targeting the Xianzhou Luofu."
"During this time, you even planned to use Miss Tingyun's appearance to tempt Luo Feng."
Cocolia shrugged her shoulders and said.
"Is that so..."
Phantylia pursed her lips and looked towards Greater Lord Rukkhadevata on the other side.
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata smiled slightly and said:
"You don't need to worry too much, Phantylia."
"After all, you are now considered a member of the Astral Express."
"As long as you don't betray the Astral Express, then even if that Miss Tingyun wants to take revenge on you in the future."
" Luo Feng will likely be willing to protect you; at most, he will just allow Miss Tingyun to teach you a lesson."
"Moreover, Luo Feng has a debt of gratitude towards the Xianzhou after all. If that Miss Tingyun cares about the Xianzhou, she might forgive you."
"Of course, as for the other half of you who escaped, Miss Tingyun might want to take revenge."
Hearing this, Phantylia let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as she isn't troubled, it's fine.As for dealing with her other self... Heh heh, that guy abandoned her and ran away.
At this moment, Phantylia was already quite displeased with her other self.
If she had the chance, she even planned to personally devour her other half.
Of course, to prevent her own consciousness from being taken over, before devouring her other half, Phantylia would find a way to first erase the other party's memories.
Although she couldn't do such a thing, Phantylia believed that Luo Feng would definitely be able to.
...
[Mualani: Phantylia on the Astral Express is completely unaware of Miss Tingyun's matter. Speaking of which, I wonder what the real Miss Tingyun is like.]
[Xilonen: If there are no accidents, I think we will be able to meet her soon. Compared to Miss Tingyun, what is important now is what Ms. Herta and the others are busy with.]
[Mavuika: Mr. Screwllum, Ms. Herta, and Ms. Ruan Mei are planning to let Dr. Chadwick rest in peace directly in the current research lab, right?]
[Alhaitham: After the three of them finish debugging the equipment in front of them, I guess we will see the result of Dr. Chadwick's complete departure.]
[Dr.: As expected, knowledge about the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" is so precious, it would be too regrettable for it to just disappear with Chadwick's complete disappearance.]
[La Signora: While it is regrettable for the knowledge of a genius to disappear like this, due to the Selective Blocking Drug and Chadwick's own will, there should be no knowledge related to the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" left in Chadwick's memoria.]
[Dehya: Yes, even if the Selective Blocking Drug lost its effect due to his body dying, Chadwick must have also refused to learn about the knowledge related to the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" based on his own will.]
[Rhinedottir: But there should be other knowledge remaining in Chadwick's mind.
Since Chadwick is going to be sent off anyway, why not take this opportunity to first copy down all the relevant knowledge in Chadwick's consciousness.]
[Dr.: Indeed! Even if we cannot obtain knowledge related to the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse", we can at least obtain some other knowledge, right?]
[Lisa: However, Luo Feng is not that kind of person, and he doesn't need to specifically do these things either.]
"The equipment is debugged. Do you want to come and see Dr. Chadwick off on his final journey, Luo Feng?"
"As long as you press this button in front of us, everything will be over."
Herta withdrew her gaze from the equipment maintaining the memoria's activity and turned to look at Luo Feng standing by the door.
"This is a matter between you Genius Society members. Compared to me, you are more suitable to press the button, right?"
Luo Feng shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Although that is true, without you, Luo Feng, we wouldn't even have known that Dr. Chadwick was in Penacony."
Mr. Screwllum said.
"How about you do it, Mr. Screwllum? I'll pass."
Luo Feng shook his head and said.
"That's true. After all, Mr. Screwllum is the only one among us who met and talked with Chadwick while he was alive."
"Letting Mr. Screwllum personally see Chadwick off, Chadwick himself should also be satisfied."
Herta said, looking at Dr. Chadwick's memoria in the sanitation device with some emotion.
"...What a pity. I originally thought I could get in touch with your research, but I didn't expect the final outcome to be like this."
"To be honest, your research and my research direction have many overlapping areas. I was also inspired by your research at times."
"All in all, I hope you can find peace."
Herta said.
"As a member of the Genius Society, I also hope you can find peace."
Ruan Mei stepped forward and stood before the button that controlled the sanitation device's shutdown and startup.
Although Mr. Screwllum is a mechanical being, he doesn't have obvious facial changes like humans.
But his back now seemed to carry a sense of melancholy that people could perceive from him.
"We didn't meet many times, but please allow me to call you a friend at this moment, Dr. Chadwick."
"As Luo Feng said to you before, in my calculations, your research indeed had the potential to save tens of thousands of lives."
"Unfortunately, things have come to this point. Before the real disaster arrives, we can only pray that the gaze of the esteemed Dr. falls upon the next Chadwick."
After Mr. Screwllum finished speaking, he silently pressed the button.
"Sleep well, Dr. Chadwick."
Mr. Screwllum, Herta, and Ruan Mei said in unison.
"Rest well."
Seeing the device maintaining the memoria's activity completely dim down, the The Knave placed her hand on her chest and said with extreme solemnity.
Towards this genius who indirectly helped her embark on her Path, the The Knave still held respect in her heart.
"So, I guess all of this is over now."
"Even for a genius, is it possible to leave peacefully?"
Clorinde sighed and murmured.
Just at this moment, Dr. Chadwick's familiar voice suddenly sounded in the room.
The people who hadn't left the room all cast their gaze towards the memoria in the sanitation device, and Luo Feng also finally revealed a smile.
"Indeed, if it were to just end like this, it would be too peaceful."
Luo Feng murmured to himself.
If possible, he still hoped that the ending of the Chadwick incident could echo the ending in the game.
Even though he didn't know what Herta would do after Chadwick handed his research to her..
....
However, after Dr. Chadwick's voice completely faded, the smile on Luo Feng's face immediately froze, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
[...Mr.... please... come closer...]
[Mr. Luo Feng, please... come... closer.]
"Wh... What's going on? Is it a ghost?"
"Has Chadwick turned into a ghost?"
Paimon flew behind Lumine and looked around in fear.
"Speculation! Dr. Chadwick's self-consciousness still has a faint residue."
"He is urgently trying to converse with Luo Feng."
Mr. Screwllum said, turning to look at Luo Feng leaning against the wall.
[Mr. Luo Feng, please come closer!]
"The voice is back, and the words are more coherent."
"But the voice is a bit softer, clearly it won't last much longer."
Herta rested her hand on her cheek, looking at the memoria and said.
"It seems, Dr. Chadwick wants to say something to you, Luo Feng, in the end."
Ruan Mei opened her mouth and said to Luo Feng.
"I heard it, but shouldn't he be calling Herta over?"
Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows.
This doesn't match the plot. Didn't Chadwick in the game clearly leave his knowledge to Herta, allowing Herta to establish a threat system capable of countering the Company's forces?
Why is he calling for him at this time?
"Calling me over? What does this have to do with me?"
Herta crossed her arms and said:
"Why don't you hurry over and listen to what Dr. Chadwick plans to say in the end?"
"The life support device has been shut down. The memoria in the memoria won't last for long."
"Yeah." Paimon flew to Luo Feng's side and said:
"He definitely wants to thank you one last time."
"Although his research led to a great disaster, he's going to be gone soon anyway, Luo Feng. Why don't you go forward and see him off?"
"I hope he just wants to thank me."
Luo Feng frowned slightly and stepped towards the life support device.
[Mualani: Is it just my imagination, or does Luo Feng's words have a hidden meaning?]
[Mavuika: Could it be that Chadwick doesn't just plan to simply say goodbye to Luo Feng, but also intends to tell Luo Feng some secrets?]
[Kaveh: Chadwick spent a long time with the Company and the Family.
He should know both sides quite well, and Luo Feng, as the leader this time, has probably offended the Company and the Family.
Furthermore, Luo Feng is not a genius like Screwllum or the others, so is Chadwick planning to tell Luo Feng some secrets that can be used against the Family and the Company?]
[Dehya: Although with Luo Feng's level, the people from the Company and the Family wouldn't necessarily come looking for trouble with Luo Feng.
However, Chadwick doesn't know Luo Feng's true identity, so if he were to actually do this, it doesn't seem unreasonable.]
[Dr.: Will it really be that simple?]
"Speak. What do you want with me, Dr. Chadwick?"
Luo Feng stopped in front of the Remembrance Bubble and asked.
[Thank you, Luo Feng. You helped me gain freedom.]
[If possible, at the very end, I want to ask you for one thing.]
[I think if it's you, someone special enough to be trusted by geniuses like Screwllum and Herta, you should be able to do it.]
"So?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Herta beside him.
[Although I defended my position during my lifetime, with the resources controlled by the Company, they will one day find the technology and methods to reproduce the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse".]
[The die is cast. From the moment the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" was born, every corner of the Universe is destined to be wary of its threat.]
[I am powerless to turn back time, but I can at least do one thing...]
[I will become a sharp sword, forever hanging over the heads of the bullies!]
[Mr. Luo Feng, I hope you can accept my knowledge and technology and establish a deterrent system capable of countering the Company's strength.]
[...Please, please come closer. Everything about the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse", and other knowledge, is here...]
...
