Chapter 140: Memory Weaver On The Train
“Let me, let me, I just learned sword technique.” March 7th volunteered.
Ever since learning sword technique and obtaining a new weapon, besides one-shotting Taotie Warriors, March 7th hadn’t had a proper battle, and her hands were itching for action.
Meng Huaifeng glanced at March 7th. He had already experienced the new weapon himself, and it was indeed useful. It was time for March 7th to experience it too.
“Defeated opponent, you’d better beat March first before challenging me.” Meng Huaifeng said with arms crossed.
Yan was somewhat amused in anger: “Kid, you just won against sister once, and you’re this arrogant? March sister, you’ve seen my strength before. Are you sure you want to fight me?”
“Sure, don’t worry, Yan sister, I’ll hold back a bit.” March 7th said the honest truth that thoughtfully made Yan fume with rage.
Yan hadn’t forgotten the ages of a few people that Welt had told her before. On the surface, Meng Huaifeng was the oldest, and March 7th’s memories were less than ten years old.
Looking at the young girl acting rashly with her soft and weak appearance.
She had just learned sword technique recently, so no matter how you look at it, her strength couldn’t be that high.
Holding back a bit? Wasn’t that looking down too much on their Known Universe’s strength?
This time, I’m going to let the train crew know my power and restore the Known Universe’s face!
“No need to hold back!” Yan said boldly, then glared at Meng Huaifeng: “After I beat March sister, I’ll teach you a lesson, you arrogant little brat.”
Meng Huaifeng shrugged. That might be hopeless. Do you know that I’m the weakest among us?
Soon, the group reappeared on the back of the Moon.
Old rules, Eye of Insight first.
March 7th immediately felt like she was being seen through and instinctively became alert.
Her mental instinctual resistance interfered with the Eye of Insight’s reading, but it still obtained some information.
The stronger the strength, the stronger the spirit, which inherently has some defensive capability, just not as strong or comprehensive as specialized defensive power in this area.
“March 7th, the ice sealed girl drifting in the universe… Hmm? What just happened? Right, I need to spar with March sister.” Yan suddenly blanked out mentally and looked at the train crew and surroundings in confusion.
“Yan sister, are you ready? I’m about to attack.” March 7th turned sideways, drew her sword, and asked politely.
“Go ahead and attack.” Yan said confidently, immediately activating the Eye of Insight.
The feeling of being seen through came again. March 7th flung an icy sword energy at Yan in some annoyance and charged right after it.
Yan flapped her wings to dodge and said: “March 7th, the ice sealed girl drifting in the universe… Hmm?”
“Why did you say it again?” March 7th asked strangely.
Suddenly noticing Yan’s movement pause, March 7th seized the opportunity and slashed her down from the air with one sword.
“Ah! Yan sister, are you okay? I didn’t expect you to neither defend nor dodge.” March 7th landed beside Yan in some panic and asked with concern.
Yan’s armor was slashed open in a large area. If March 7th hadn’t noticed something wrong and stopped immediately, that sword would definitely have cut Yan in half!
“Let me tell you, March sister, it’s just a spar. No need to sneak attack, right?” Yan said somewhat speechlessly.
“Sneak attack? Who? Me?” March 7th asked in bewilderment.
“Yeah, we haven’t even started. But your sneak attack method is indeed impressive. I didn’t notice it at all. Or is this your fighting style?” Yan praised.
“Wait, wait! I didn’t sneak attack! And we’ve already started.” March 7th hurriedly explained.
“Impossible.” Yan looked incredulous.
“I really didn’t sneak attack!” March 7th was almost frantic. How could she, such a lively and cheerful young girl, do something as despicable as a sneak attack?
Slandering someone can’t be done like this!
Yan sister is actually such an angel? I, March 7th, misjudged you!
Yan frowned tightly. The situation seemed a bit off.
Yan connected to the Angel Network: “Check my memory for abnormalities!”
“Checking memory… Check complete. Angel Yan, you have lost two segments totaling thirty-one seconds of memory, irreparable. Additionally, you have lost memory of the Eye of Insight.”
“Eye of Insight… what is that?” Yan asked puzzled.
Information about the Eye of Insight was resent to Yan’s database.
After reading the Eye of Insight information, Yan’s face turned extremely ugly. She never thought the technology she had used for thousands of years would one day be forgotten.
Fortunately, it was just forgetting the name and concept of the Eye of Insight; the usage experience wasn’t lost.
“March, what happened just now? Tell me.” Yan asked with a grim face.
“Nothing happened. By the way, you said ‘March 7th, the ice sealed girl drifting in the universe… Hmm?’ twice.” March 7th was somewhat confused.
“Twice?” Yan frowned. The Angel Network also told her she lost two segments of memory, so she had been deleted twice?
“What’s going on? Why did I inexplicably lose two segments of memory? March, do you have technological means to modify memory?” Yan asked.
“I… I don’t. I didn’t do anything.” March 7th said helplessly.
“Lost memory? I probably know what happened. March’s background is mysterious; her past and memory are hidden and protected by the Flowing Light Memory Palace. You tried to read March’s information and were definitely hit by the Memory Weaver…” Meng Huaifeng suddenly paused.
Memory Weaver! Memory Weaver! Memory Weaver!
Damn!
Did I forget something too?!
“Sigh, noticed again. What a hassle. I hate technology, especially information networking and memory archiving.”
A helpless female voice suddenly sounded in Meng Huaifeng’s ear.
Countless pieces of information were instantly sent from Meng Huaifeng’s mobile phone.
“How is it?” Yan urged.
Seeing Meng Huaifeng’s face suddenly changing unpredictably, March 7th asked with concern: “Huai Feng, what’s wrong with you?”
Everyone suddenly blanked out mentally like Yan had before, except Welt who frowned slightly, seeming to sense something wrong.
“Weren’t you going to spar? Get started.” Meng Huaifeng looked strangely at March 7th and Yan surrounding him.
“Oh, oh.” The two came to their senses.
“Yan sister, there’s a crack in your armor.” March 7th reminded.
“This is armor damaged from a previous battle; I haven’t had time to repair it. Wrong one, I’ll change.” Yan instantly completed the change using micro wormhole transport technology.
March 7th and Yan fought. March 7th indeed held back in speed and power as she said, freely displaying her somewhat inexperienced sword skill.
Yan’s sword skill was much stronger than March 7th’s, but her body strength was far inferior, and her attacks were firmly blocked by the Six Phases Ice shield.
It seemed like nothing had happened before.
“Ding dong.”
Meng Huaifeng’s mobile phone received an unknown message.
“Train, Memory Weaver, memory modification!”
Meng Huaifeng was slightly stunned. After receiving the reminder, the ignored memory surged back into his mind.
“You’re good at manipulating memory, but network information isn’t your specialty. Maybe you have some means to modify my mobile phone or intercept information, but you can’t instantly rewrite every computer on the planet that I’ve added reminder programs to.”
“I’ve set it so that random computers send me reminders at intervals. Even if you intercept them temporarily, when I notice my phone receives no information, I’ll discover the problem. You can guard for a moment, but not forever.”
“Huai Feng, what are you saying?” A Xing asked curiously. Welt also glanced sideways.
Meng Huaifeng blanked slightly and said: “Nothing.”
An intangible, formless figure shuttled frantically through the Blue Star network.
“Ding dong.”
Meng Huaifeng’s mobile phone received a positional message.
“Train, Memory Weaver, memory modification! Version 2.”
The memory surfaced in his mind.
“Getting the prompt lets me remember everything thoroughly, as if I just temporarily forgot. Why not thoroughly delete and modify my memory? Can’t do it? Looks like the crap system is somewhat useful. Oh, maybe can’t call it a crap system anymore.”
Sensing the computer anchors continuously disappearing from his mobile phone, Meng Huaifeng tilted his head.
“What are you doing? Erasing my backup? Since you can’t thoroughly delete my memory, don’t waste effort. I’ll update and reset periodically, and the erased computers will reappear.”
The Memory Weaver seemed unwilling and once again made Meng Huaifeng temporarily ignore Memory Weaver-related matters.
Welt seemed thoughtful and closed his eyes.
This time the interval was longer before Meng Huaifeng received another message.
“Train, Memory Weaver, memory modification! Version 3.”
“Third time. You Memory Weavers collect memories but are brainless yourselves. Oh, sorry, you really don’t have real brains; I shouldn’t doubt you. If you’ve been following the train, you should remember that with my enhanced mobile phone and computers, they can communicate in various ways, including Destiny.”
“You can trace network cables to networked computers, but can you trace light signals, covert communications, or even Destiny to unnetworked equipment whose location is unknown?” Meng Huaifeng was getting annoyed.
“Huai Feng, what’s really wrong with you?” A Xing asked worriedly.
“I… I’m fine. Why do you ask, A Xing?” Meng Huaifeng paused in tone.
“…Version 4.”
“…Version 5.”
“…Version 6.”
“…”
“…Version 15.”
Meng Huaifeng somewhat understood. She wanted to outlast him until he gave up investigating her existence.
“In your dreams!”
“…Version 19.”
“…Version 25.”
“…Version 36.”
Welt, who had been meditating with eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A strangely shaped pair of glasses appeared before him, and a pair of high-tech gloves constructed themselves.
“Click!”
Welt reached out toward Meng Huaifeng. Brilliant silver light swirled around the gloves, and a illusory figure in a white hood was grabbed out.
“How… how is that possible?” The Memory Weaver said in disbelief.
“Uncle Yang is awesome!” Meng Huaifeng cheered in surprise. He thought he’d have to keep wearing her down.
“Without special means, seeing and grabbing you Memory Weavers is indeed hard, but unfortunately, our next stop is Penacony.” Welt pushed up his glasses.
“Penacony has abundant memory substance, so we specifically learned about memory substance, including how to touch it. And these gloves are a technological creation that can touch memory substance.” Welt said.
He had really just learned about it before; he had the memory in his mind but hadn’t deeply analyzed the structure, so he only acted now.
“This technological creation can only touch memory substance, so how did it grab me?” The Memory Weaver asked puzzled.
“A brain is a good thing, but you discarded it.” Meng Huaifeng mocked. He had been quite pissed off.
“This isn’t a pure technological creation; it’s made by my ability. I can enhance its effects with my ability, though the efficiency isn’t high.” Welt explained.
Fortunately, pioneering several new worlds had advanced him further on the Pioneer Destiny, or else using a barely memory-substance-touching tech product to grab a Memory Weaver, even at full effort, probably wouldn’t work.
Looks like he needed Himeko to collect or research devices more effective against memory substance, so next time dealing with Memory Weavers wouldn’t be so laborious.
“Um, I’ve seen her a few times on the train too.” A Xing suddenly said.
March 7th and Yan had long finished fighting and said somewhat dissatisfied: “You saw her early, why didn’t you tell us?”
“I told you right away, but you forgot immediately. After repeating a few times, I gave up.” A Xing said innocently.
“Huai Feng is reliable.”
“Not sure if there are other Memory Weavers on the train. This is serious; let’s return to the train first.” Welt created a restraint device, threw the Memory Weaver into space. Anyway, Memory Weavers couldn’t die in there.
“Yan sister, we have some things to handle, so we won’t go with you. Goodbye.” Meng Huaifeng said to the still somewhat confused Yan.
“Okay, you go ahead.” Yan nodded.
“By the way, suggest you check your memory again.” Meng Huaifeng reminded.
Yan, somewhat puzzled, connected to the Angel Network and issued a memory check instruction.
“Angel Yan, three segments of memory lost, totaling one minute twenty seconds, irreparable. Lost Eye of Insight concept; this is the second loss of Eye of Insight concept. Suggest connecting to Angel Queen Kaisa.”
Yan’s face changed drastically. What happened? She forgot so much? And the second time!
Yan didn’t dare be careless and immediately connected to Kaisa, reporting everything she still remembered from today.
Meanwhile, the train crew had returned to the train using the Realm Anchor.
As the train crew pioneered new worlds and grew stronger, the Memory Weavers on the train also gained precious memories and grew stronger, or they would have been exposed long ago.
Welt was on alert. Without precautions, Memory Weavers could still tamper with his memory; with precautions, they basically couldn’t.
Unless a stronger Memory Weaver acted.
“Welt, why did you suddenly return to the train?” Himeko asked in surprise.
“Very important matter to discuss. Gather everyone in the observation car.” Welt said solemnly.
“Do I need to avoid?” Angel Chase asked hesitantly.
Himeko looked at Welt. Welt pondered for a moment and said: “No need to avoid.”
