Chapter 837: The Labyrinth of Memory
"You're back."
Before he could open his eyes, a familiar voice came to his ears.
Following the voice, the Engineer was sitting there with a calm face.
He noticed a sarcophagus beside Mawson, and naturally knew what was placed inside.
However, he did not move, and did not seem to be worried that Mawson would use it to blackmail him.
"You still see it."
The engineer seemed to have anticipated this for a long time, and said unhurriedly.
"That's your body, your original body."
"Right?"
Mawson asked in a deep voice.
The Engineer nodded.
"Why is it there, and why did you find it?"
Mawson continued.
The engineer didn't speak, just stared at Mawson with a calm expression.
"Can't say, can't say, or doesn't have to say?"
Mawson placed his hand on the sarcophagus and asked questions in succession, three different questions representing three different outcomes and answers.
His face became a little ugly, and what he was most worried about was that even though the engineer knew about it, he couldn't tell him.
Because there are secrets that can only be understood, not spoken.
The Engineer smiled.
As he was about to gain his body, he became very relaxed, and his face had a more human expression.
"I'm wondering if I'm going to tell you if I want to."
"Because there are some things that are not good for you not to know."
"It's like a pig who, if he has a human mind, finds himself still in a cage and slaughtered on time."
The Engineer looked at Mawson.
"That would be a sadness."
Mawson took a deep breath.
"Tell me I'm willing to give everything I have gained in this world."
"Huh."
The Engineer chuckled.
"Hopefully one day you won't regret your decision."
"Remember how you came to this world?"
The engineer asked.
Mawson knew that what the engineer was asking about was not the world he was in, but the reality of the world, which was relatively relative to him.
He shook his head.
"Your memory is blocked."
"Without this memory, you'll never know where you're from, and you'll never find your original body."
Hearing this, Mawson was slightly stunned, but he quickly adjusted his mood and covered up this expression.
But how could he escape the attention of the engineer with the slightest change.
"I know what you're thinking."
The Engineer looked at Mawson.
"Human ......"
"But how can you be sure that your memories have not been tampered with!"
Mawson was shocked!
Looking at the engineer's expressionless face, Mawson felt a breath of cool air rush to the top of his head, and he couldn't help but speak:
"Am I not from Earth?"
"Earth?"
"Is this the planet you once lived on?"
"I don't know where you're from, but I'm sure that the memories of each chosen one have been tampered with."
"Maybe it's a thorough clean, maybe it's a refill, or a change in some key information. I think you should know that if a person's memory is skewed, the final impact will be devastating. ”
The engineer waved his hand, and the originally empty space appeared in the palace, fields, and sky.
"Your strength is so weak that you can't even tell the difference between reality and illusion."
"Just like ...... now"
"How can you be sure that something that you have at your hand hasn't been moved?"
Mawson lowered his head, and it was only then that he realized that what he was pressing under his palm was not a sarcophagus at all, but a black hound.
In the next second, the hound opened its bloody mouth and tore off a piece of flesh from Mawson's arm, and then disappeared with a thud.
Mawson didn't move, didn't even bother with the injury on his hand, he just stared at the engineer.
"What can I do to find my memories?"
"Improve your strength, and then make your soul complete, and at that time, you will discover the anomalies hidden in the depths of your soul."
"Then you will remember that real memory that belongs to you."
"Follow your memories, identify that world, and find your body!"
"You need to remember."
The engineer admonished.
"No matter how powerful your current body is, it doesn't belong to you, and it's fatal when you face that most important enemy!"
A flash of pride flashed in the engineer's eyes.
"Not anyone can escape in their hands."
"You still have a long way to go."
Mawson silently digested all this.
"Why me?"
"Can't you really go back to the world you once existed?"
Mawson asked.
The Engineer shook his head.
"It's not that I can't, it's that everyone can't."
"Your original body is too weak, with the current strength of your soul, if the two are fused together, your own body will be completely blown out."
"You'll need some time to make your body strong enough to hold your soul."
"Until then, once the two are in the same world, the attraction to each other will attract the prying eyes of some people."
"And then, you'll never find it again."
"Why doesn't the Chrono Express Company destroy these bodies, or hide them somewhere we'll never find them?"
"Destroy?"
The Engineer shook his head.
"How is that possible?"
"As long as you master your body, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how perfect your soul is, the two can never be unified."
"It's so powerful that the Space-Time Monarch can't get out of control."
"As for hiding somewhere else?"
The engineer tapped his forehead, "There is no more difficult labyrinth in this world than the brain, some things seem simple, but they are extremely difficult to do. ”
"Even if your soul is perfect, too much time has passed, and by then you can't even guarantee that your true memory won't go wrong."
"Because if something goes wrong."
"You'll never find the answer!"
The Engineer scoffed.
"Do you think that everyone is as lucky as you and can meet a plane monarch at such a low level?"
"In the future, you will know that the Space-Time Lord is easy to reach, but if you want to become a monarch, then you need to master a universe!"
"It's going to be very, very difficult under the watchful eye of that thing."
"After all, that thing exists to collect the origin of the universe."
"Except for the power of the source, the rest is meaningless."
A sarcophagus appeared out of thin air in the Engineer's hand, and he stood up with a smile and gently pushed the sarcophagus open.
I couldn't help but look excited in my eyes.
"After so many years, I've finally found my roots."
"When the soul and the body become one."
"Once I've been freed from all my bonds, I'm going to take on the final challenge!"
The Engineer lowered his head, his gaze resting on the sarcophagus.
But there's nothing there!
