Chapter 5 Barriers
Soon he had rushed through the first barrier, as if it wasn't meant to stop the light from descending.
With the arrival of the second barrier, Liu Hao soon figured out its true function, which was to cleanse the soul and erase the memories of the previous life left in the light cluster.
The first barrier was very thin, and Liu Hao barely felt it, only a faint burning sensation.
But the second wave of the barrier seemed to have doubled in strength, and the burning sensation suddenly made him curl his tentacles in pain.
Fortunately, Liu Hao had put the wild dog's memory in the outermost position with disgust, allowing him to avoid his own losses by luck, but the feeling of missing was obvious, as if a piece of his brain had been poached out of thin air.
The frequency of the memory light and shadow that originally flickered from time to time on the surrounding light cluster has obviously decreased a lot, making this sea of light look much "cleaner".
The pain of amnesia dissipated Liu Hao's fanaticism, and he resisted the attraction below and no longer moved forward.
The earth shook nine times in a row, which meant that there would be nine barriers.
It's really painful, he just wants to go to an old classmate's party, why would he fall into various crises one after another.
One by one, the barriers washed and washed, like waves washing over the sand, erasing all souls from their memories of their previous lives.
Perhaps they will eventually become as pure as a new life, and then start a new life cycle on Mother Earth.
Liu Hao is a little speechless, in the stories of others as the protagonists, they all cross the sea, take a walk, and then there will be a kind old woman to chat with you.
For you to remember the great achievements of the previous life, and then look forward to the bright prospects of the future, and finally enthusiastically hand you a bowl of carefully boiled tea.
If you can talk about the deed, there may be blueberry flavor and old godmother flavor that you can choose from, or you can care about value-added services such as what hobbies and expectations you have for reincarnation.
Why did it become his turn to become so vicious and embarrassed, people can't help but think of the formatting function of the computer hard disk.
Not only washing, but also rubbing, not only rubbing off the mud, but also peeling and scraping the bones.
Memory has now become one of his few assets, and in a sense, without memory, Liu Hao would no longer exist.
In the face of the extremely cruel reality, he has to continue to fight for his fate.
The second barrier passed in an instant, and the soul was like being bitten by an ant colony, constantly dropping small "minced meat", and the entire light cluster was constantly trembling, light and dark, as if it could be broken at any time.
Thankfully, this is just the beginning, and the intensity seems bearable. Although the memory of the peripheral pastoral dog was only a stopgap measure, it also bought him a lot of time.
In addition, the light film, which used to behave very chickenly, also unexpectedly showed its effect.
The battle between the light groups was almost broken with a single blow between the same level, and it did not play much of a substantive defensive role at all.
But at this moment, the light film stubbornly blocked there, protecting Liu Hao's core.
The erosion of the barrier was greatly weakened, and only half of it was left after being transmitted to the interior. If you shrink to the extreme, you can even reduce this ratio to 1/3.
This may be the ability that the soul has acquired in hundreds of millions of years of evolution in order to resist this kind of gnawing, Liu Hao guessed.
The third barrier came as scheduled, and it was even stronger.
Liu Hao shrunk the light film to the limit, tightly wrapped his core, and rushed down sharply at the same time, hoping to use speed to gain time.
However, the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.
After all, the memory of the pastoral dog is too weak, and after the third pass, it has been lost.
There will be at least six barriers, Liu Hao silently estimated, the strength of each one is almost twice that of the previous one, which means that by the ninth level, the strength will reach more than two hundred times that of the terrifying.
This realization allowed the shadow of despair to breed in the bottom of his heart, no matter how lucky, relying on the offset of the light film alone would never last to the end.
If there is no other way, he can only rely on his own memories to meet the next wave of shock.
When the memory is broken to a certain extent, it is to lose oneself and lose one's mind, and what awaits him can only disappear in the end and disappear silently in this world.
Ants still spare their lives, let alone people.
Just when Liu Hao was trying his best to think about countermeasures, not far from him, a sudden tragedy caught his attention.
An earthy yellow ball of light, as if it had lost its mind under the corrosion of the barrier, became crazy, and suddenly rushed towards the light cluster beside him.
Despicable but desperate, the sneak attacker succeeded.
The number of sneak attackers has obviously doubled, and although the consequences are endless, it is a smart and helpless choice in this situation.
Liu Hao also thought of this method, but he was a little hesitant.
Absorbing other people's memories and using them to consume may delay time to a certain extent, but a large number of new memories will also make oneself quite chaotic, and even one's mind will be temporarily lost, Liu Hao has a deep understanding of this.
Whether he could sort out the chaotic memories before the next barrier arrived, Liu Hao was not sure.
The most important thing is that the explosion after devouring it is a maggot like a curse.
Desperate situations, the pressure of survival, even sane beings will fall into a dying struggle, just like a person who has fallen into the water panicked and grasps everything he can grasp.
At the same time, the crowd effect can also spread this chaos and madness.
The surrounding light clusters are all starting to stir, and if one more person makes a desperate move, it will cause a chain of riots.
Sure enough, the madness began to spread, and with the movement of a certain light cluster, the discord killing began.
Many of the light clusters began to launch frenzied attacks on their approaching kind. But unlike the previous sneak attacks, the attack was outrageously inefficient in the face of a defended target.
Those who are lucky enough to succeed fall into chaos when absorbing, and it has become a striking and delicious delicacy.
As the melee became more frenzied, finally, the first victim of greed appeared.
The explosion occurred suddenly, bringing the light around the site to a snap.
But the shattered fragments have become an ownerless delicacy again, attracting countless covetous eyes, and new battles are repeated in this sky.
The fourth barrier was twice as strong.
Even though Liu Hao shrunk the light film to the extreme, the momentary impact still made him a little dazed and almost lost his fighting spirit.
At this time, an earthy yellow light ball stood in front of Liu Hao. Maybe it was the instinct of survival, maybe it was the providence in the dark, and after a little hesitation, he pounced.
Completely defenseless, this ball of light, which was only half the size of him, naturally became the first victim.
The pleasure of absorption temporarily relieved the pain caused by the barrier, and Liu Hao struggled to comb through the other party's memories and guide them directly to the periphery, but fortunately, the huge strength gap kept him from falling into too much confusion.
Through the blurred picture, this is supposed to be an elderly mustang.
Fortunately, it is not human, even in the most difficult times, Liu Hao still does not want to face the naked killing of the same kind.
Luckily, there was no explosion.
In fact, he was feeling quite good at the moment, without any sense of swelling that had reached his limits, and the discovery simply made him ecstatic.
Eventually, thanks to the old horse, he successfully crossed the fourth barrier.
Liu Hao doesn't believe in luck, nor does he believe that he is talented, there must be a more reasonable explanation here.
The only possibility that comes to mind is the distinctive color of its own light cluster.
At that time, there were more than a dozen surviving blue light clusters. He also once witnessed one of them, unfortunately being blown by an earthy yellow light cluster.
At this time, Liu Hao looked around blankly, but he couldn't see a trace of other colors, which made his heart a little gloomy.
I don't know if I want to mourn for my companions or pray for myself.
The fifth barrier will be 16 times larger, and an old horse alone is not safe.
After letting go of a few suspected targets, a huge earthy yellow light cluster entered Liu Hao's line of sight.
The occasional flashing picture of the rainforest made Liu Hao make up his mind, after all, there was no time for him to continue to pick and choose.
It was an old elephant, and Liu Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief while absorbing it.
The memory is a bit confusing, and it should be mixed with other devoured memories, making it a little troublesome for him to sort it out.
The core has grown a little stronger, but it still doesn't feel the limit.
As soon as the absorption was completed, a new round of baptism came.
Fortunately, as Liu Hao continues to grow, the countervailing effect of the light film is gradually increasing, only one-sixth of the strength is left, and the pain of being eaten is much smaller, so that he can spare his strength and find a suitable target.
