Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 236 The Burnt Past ([-]): Fatal Fall
The memory fragments of the world ignited by the colorless flame are silently burning in the silent starry sky.

While the flames were jumping, Wish had completely lost sight of the girl.

The colorless flame burns to the [Barrier] at the end of the starry sky, and it cannot advance any further before the invisible barrier.

'The colorless flame is also heading in the direction of [hometown]. '

Wish to look at the starry sky.

'Is it because it doesn't belong to this universe, so it should move closer to the universe it belongs to? '

'I guess so, it can exert its greatest power only in the universe that belongs to it. '

'When it burns up Chen Yan's world memory fragments, where will he go to find firewood? '

'If it can't find the firewood it needs to burn, it will slowly go out...'

What I didn't expect was that after the raging fire was stopped for a while, the flame gradually became less powerful!

'This!

Fire down? !

what happened? !

It must be that girl! '

When the flames decreased a lot, at the end of the deep space, a small figure appeared in the flames.

That was the girl whose whole body was covered with 【Ice Blue Crystals】.

The girl exudes a light blue icy aura all over her body, and the colorless flames are extinguished when touched.

The wish suddenly came to mind.

'Yes... the fire of matter from another universe can be extinguished by the force of matter from another universe! '

'She also possesses such power...

Unlike Chen Yan, Chen Yan only ignited the flame unconsciously, and could not control the fire.

And she... She was able to extinguish the colorless flame with the same power, which shows that she has a better grasp of the strange [rules] than Chen Yan. '

While the flames were gradually extinguishing, the girl's ice-blue body suddenly twitched.

She jerked her head up convulsively.

One eye popped open.

The flesh and blood blasted out of the pupils did not spread out, but a blooming ice flower formed in her empty eye sockets.

Wish "heard" her silent painful humming, and even felt empathy for everything that happened to her—she originally belonged to a certain memory fragment of the world, and wish itself could perceive everything in the memory fragment of the world.

'She...doesn't seem to be able to fully withstand the power of the colorless flame...in fact, I haven't seen any [creatures] that can resist that kind of power. '

There are countless "ice flowers" blooming brilliantly on the girl's body. Those ice flowers look beautiful and romantic. When each ice flower blooms, her limbs will twitch to a certain extent.

Twitches like that aren't ugly—

Standing in the starry sky, she seemed to be performing the last round dance for the end of a feast.

With her "dancing steps", the flame continued to decrease in the boundless dark starry sky.

Until a moment later, the colorless flame finally could no longer maintain the original terrifying temperature.

As the temperature dropped, the flame could not remain colorless, but in the blink of an eye, a bright red flame wrapped in bright yellow appeared in front of Wish.

Wish stared blankly at the color of the flame, his eyes absent-minded.

'This flame...is exactly the same as the color of the flame in the memory fragment of the world when I was in [Chen Yan was young and my mother picked lotus roots]! '

"This...is the final form of the colorless flame in Chen Yan's memory backup..."

'Everything comes back to [everything I've experienced]—this shows that the real world has really changed because of my intervention on Chen Yan! '

'me……'

Wish looked at the flames that were no longer scary on the [Barrier] at the end of the starry sky, and finally accepted this fact.

"Everything I have experienced is the reality that has been changed by me..."

She blamed herself very much.

As the spirit of the universe, one of her most important responsibilities is to help the world record correct history and ensure that these histories will not be changed.

Although she is no longer a complete cosmic spirit, having the vision to see the memory fragments of the world means that she still has the [responsibility] as the cosmic spirit.

She lived up to the responsibilities the universe gave her.

She didn't know what consequences this would have.

In the starry sky, the flames gradually subsided.

The girl closed her eyes, lost all strength, and "falled" in the weightless starry sky.

'what?Something is attracting her... It's a fragment of world memory! '

Wish shifted his vision, looked in the direction where the girl "falls", and saw a world memory fragment burning with bright yellow flames.

It was saved by the girl, one of Chen Yan's few world memory fragments.

Following the weightless "fall", the ice blue flowers on the girl's body shattered one after another, turned into fine powder, and disappeared into the starry sky.

'Flowers...are [symbols], symbolizing that she has lost something...what has she lost? '

Wish followed the direction of her fall and entered the memory fragments of that world.

The screen in front of me changed.

The noisy voices of people came to the ears, and the eyes of the wish suddenly became clear - countless students gathered on the playground, which was bigger than an ordinary football field. The bachelor's hat that they will wear when they graduate, facing the same direction——

On a high platform in that direction, a middle-aged man with blond hair, blue eyes, a big belly, and a high-end suit was giving an impassioned speech.

"Today! You are about to graduate! You are about to go to the world! Let the world change because of you..."

Chen Yan was also among the crowd.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from Chen Yan's ear.

"Brother...Brother..."

This sudden sound caused a commotion among the students.

Chen Yan recognized the voice almost instantly.

He turned around, only to see a ragged girl who appeared in the middle of the crowd at some unknown time, and stumbled towards him.

The students were frightened by the girl's appearance, and they all moved out of the way, which made the girl come to Chen Yan faster.

"elder brother…"

A smile that had lost its shape appeared on the girl's face.

Chen Yan looked at her with complicated emotions.

He had long been mentally prepared for her to suddenly appear in front of him again.

Three years ago, after he got on the train going south, she disappeared in front of him out of thin air.

Three years later, when he was about to graduate from the Imperial University in Heaven, she appeared in front of him again.

These three years... where has she been?
She had left a huge psychological shadow on Chen Yan. In the past three years, Chen Yan had met her in dreams countless times when he dreamed back at midnight. Those absurd and terrifying dreams made him deeply impressed by her.

He kept thinking, who is she?
