Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 216 The Fire of Materialism
What is that fire?
She had never seen such a flame.

The essence of 【Fire】is the manifestation of energy and electronic transitions.

And the burning state of the flame in front of him is definitely not the energy change process of "jumping"—the flame itself seems to exist in the matter, and it is indistinguishable from the matter—

This flame is completely like another state of matter itself.

The flame transformed from matter itself cannot be extinguished at all!
Looking at the inextinguishable flame, her palpitations became more and more intense.

'I've never seen such a flame... Where did the firewood Chen Yan used to light the flame come from? '

Where does the [Fire of Matter] that can burn the boundaries of the world's memory fragments come from?And why did it burn?

She was puzzled.

She could only move forward in the direction where the flames spread, running among the broken memory fragments of the world.

She watched the flame burn from [now] to [past].

In a glimpse, she even saw the scene before it all started——

Existing in the memory fragments of the world at a certain point in the [past], Chen Yan is extremely immature, with braids tied on the back of his head, lying in the corner of the last row of a certain school, drooling, dozing off, and puffed up The teaching teacher slapped the back of the head...

The next moment, a colorless flame jumped out from the corner of the space, and burned everything in the school before everyone felt the pain.

What frightened her even more was not the burning of the flame to the [past].

She saw a pinch of small, colorless flames that she almost couldn't detect, quietly bypassing the [other side] boundary of the world's memory fragments, and slipped quietly in the direction of [the future].

She walked through the non-linear path among countless pieces of paper-like world memory fragments, and appeared on the path where the flames were one step ahead.

The flames were not something she could stop, she could only stretch out her claws, randomly grab a fragment of world memory that existed in the [past], and block in front of the flames.

The flames rushed into the memory fragments of the world.

Immediately, the paper-like memory fragments of the world began to burn in her hands.

She was at a loss in horror, and threw the piece of paper into the sea of ​​fire not far away——

The entire [Ferry World Memory Fragment] has been burned into a colorless sea of ​​flames!

'The flames have begun to spread towards the [future]... I must do something! '

'These flames cannot be extinguished, I can only keep these flames out of [the future]—I can only keep these flames in the [past] forever! '

'So……'

She seemed to have made some big decision.

next moment.

The white cat's body disintegrated into a few pieces of paper in the high sky where the colorless flames could not reach.

Those papers are fragments of memory it experienced in its short life, almost most of the fragments are covered with Chen Yan's big nostrils and big face - when Chen Yan embraced it, Chen Yan was the whole thing in its field of vision. world.

A [Consciousness] appeared at the position where the white cat's body was deconstructed.

'I'm running out of time. '

That form of [consciousness] cannot be understood by anyone, nor can it be described by any knowledge known to mankind.

It can only be defined by [existence].

The [Consciousness] exists above the heavens, and uses its authority beyond the extraordinary to formulate [rules] for the world formed by memory in front of it:
[When the flame burns to the border between [now] and [future], it will be blocked by the deep sea. 】

When the voice fell, a few colorless flames that sneaked towards the border between [now] and [future] plunged into the [sea of ​​fantasy] that 'appeared out of thin air'.

They evaporate seawater very quickly, but the seawater in [Sea of ​​Imagination] is also continuously being generated. Although they can evaporate seawater, they can no longer move forward.

With the appearance of [Sea of ​​Illusions], the [Consciousness] let out a humanized "groan"——[Consciousness] felt the "pain" unique to carbon-based creatures.

'Damn it... the part of my soul that belongs to carbon base can't bear such supernatural power...'

[Consciousness] was suffering from the overload, but what made him even more anxious was that after the colorless flame burned through the memory fragments in front of him, he rushed towards the direction of [future].

Between [now] and [future] is the [Sea of ​​Illusions] that He just created.

If all these colorless flames enter the [Sea of ​​Illusion] created by him, the generation speed of the sea water will not be able to keep up with the evaporation speed of the flames—these flames will evaporate the sea water sooner or later!
He had to make a second rule again for the world before him:
【The flame will burn in the direction of 【past】. 】

The moment the rules were formed, the colorless flame rushing toward the [Sea of ​​Imagination] turned around abruptly in the void, rushing in the opposite direction like a tsunami.

[Consciousness] Watching those flames rushing in the direction of [the past], I didn't feel any relief.

In fact, He feels terrible right now.

These two seemingly simple rules almost completely disintegrated the part of his soul that belonged to the carbon base.

A soul-reaching pain swept His consciousness, pain He had never experienced before.

But things didn't end there.

The colorless flame is heading towards the [past], while the [now] has been burned into a piece of "nothingness".

'If a person has no [past], [now] is nothingness, then he will naturally not have [future]——

If the memory fragment of [Ferry] completely disappears, [Chen Yan's Future] will also cease to exist. '

He looked at the dilapidated [ferry] world memory fragments in front of him.

'Fortunately...the memory fragments of this world have not been completely destroyed, and there is still the possibility of recovery. '

'In the absence of external interference, everything...will return to its original state. '

"Heh, this is my housekeeping skill..."

When the colorless flame completely left the memory fragments of this world and went to the [past], he began to [repair] the world in front of him——

Under his transcendent power, everything in the memory fragments of the [ferry] world in front of him began to "regress".

The sea that was dried up by the colorless flames reappeared, followed by the hull of the ferry burned by the flames, the people on board, and then the seagulls, the sky, the clouds...

Everything is recovering in an orderly manner.

The whole process is not only a "reconstruction" of memory, but also a "rewind" of memory itself - He did not create new things, but just let everything go back along the timeline, allowing the memory to return to a clear starting point .

After a while, the ferry was peaceful and peaceful.

Tourists gather in groups of twos and threes on the deck, sit around on the sun loungers, or go to and from the banquet hall and swimming pool...

They don't remember what happened next because at this point in time, that horrible future hasn't happened.

'Although it was restored to its original form, some things were lost forever. '

In the ferry, William Master and the girl had disappeared.

He looked back along the timeline.
