Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 700 A traveler looking for memories

The lonely soul does not enter the new world immediately, but embarks on a long journey.

After restoring hope to the world countless times, he never got the rewards he deserved.And in this seemingly endless reincarnation, he seemed to have forgotten some important things.

[Do you still remember your name? 】

"Name...ah, I seem to remember it. My name this time is...Lauren, right?"

The soul wandering aimlessly in the sunless sea does not seem to know where its destination is.But it knows that it will eventually leave here and return to where it should be.

However, I don't seem to remember why I did this.

[You have lost many precious things. 】

"Sorry, what you said...I can't remember."

The voice came from nowhere and seemed to want to guide it out of this chaos.However, there is no end in sight at all, and I don’t know where I have to go before I can leave this place.

【You are also human this time. 】

The wandering soul gradually took on a human form, and finally turned into a young man with a slightly ordinary appearance.As if he remembered something, he looked down at his hands, and then shook his head gently.

"Yes, it seems to me that it should be like this."

【You need to find something important. 】

What is the important thing?The man who knew his name was Lauren still couldn't remember.He felt that his soul was just a hole, and nothing existed in it... and there was no meaning of existence.

"But what kind of person am I?"

Just when he asked the question, a few weak lights lit up like road signs in the originally empty world.

【Let’s move forward. 】

Even without voice guidance, Laurent was already attracted by those lights and took steps toward where they were.The not-so-bright lights swayed gently, like stars guiding the way in the darkness.

"This is……"

When Lauren walked to the location of the first light, an illusory figure suddenly appeared next to him.The slightly slender figure seemed to be a young woman. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, she was holding a sharp and long knife in her hand.

[The prayers left by the people you once saved have turned into tangible souls. 】

"The people I...saved?"

[This is my wish to fight alongside you. 】

The lights were quietly extinguished, and the figures also disappeared into nothingness.The next light was not too far away, and there seemed to be an illusory figure floating beside the light.

[This is my wish to travel with you. 】

With the strange pair of horns and the gently swaying dragon tail on the back, the shadow of the girl of the alien race stands quietly beside the faint light, as if waiting for someone to come.But when Lauren reached out to touch her, the phantom of the girl disappeared together with the lights.

There were still lights flickering ahead, pointing out the path Lauren should take.

[This is my wish for your life to be stable. 】

The tall and slender female figure, who seemed to have some kind of intimacy, flickered for a few times next to the light, and then dimmed along with the light.

[This is the wish to become your strength. 】

The female figures with obvious dragon features and figure looked even more unreal against the light, but as long as Lauren came close, they would disappear without a trace, as if they had completed some mission.

【This is the desire to protect you behind your back. 】

Although the figure seemed to have a female outline, it seemed to have another shadow under the light. Lauren wanted to take a closer look, but the lights went out at this moment.

[This is my wish to sacrifice my life for you. 】

The pale blue light illuminates the female figure with bright wings stretched out, like a flickering hope in the netherworld.In this boundless chaos, this light that seems to be within reach is like some kind of salvation.

However, the lights were still extinguished mercilessly.

【This is the desire to save your fate. 】

What finally appeared in front of Laurent was not the flickering light, but the woman who was so clear that he could see every detail, and who was also staring at him.

That was someone very important to him, but...

"sorry."

The beautiful woman whispered words of guilt and apology, and then disappeared in front of Lauren.But where she originally stood, a strange-looking sword-shaped weapon was left behind.

"Did I fail to fulfill their wishes?"

【Just keep going. 】

Lauren reached out, picked up the weapon, and carried it behind his back.Although there are no longer flickering lights in front, there seems to be a faint light shining in the distance.

"What else can I do?"

Although he was heading towards the glorious place, there was only endless confusion in Lauren's heart.He doesn't know why he wants to move forward, and he doesn't know what will be at the end.More importantly, he couldn't remember the meaning of his existence at all.

"Don't stop, your mission is not over yet, get out of here."

A male figure who seemed to look a lot like Lauren, but also seemed to be somewhat different, suddenly appeared next to him.He gave orders to the confused Lauren in a strong tone, and then disappeared into the chaos.

"You guys, if you don't make a decision, you won't be able to remember important things."

Another figure with a slightly frivolous tone, but seemed to have a strong will, warned Lauren as he advanced, and then turned into countless fragments and dissipated into the darkness when Lauren passed by his location.

"No, give up! You have to go and make those wishes come true!"

The figure who seemed to be not very good at speaking, but whose words were indeed filled with emotion, flashed past Loren, and then shattered and dissipated like the two people before him.However, the light that should have been blended into the darkness had actually flowed into Lauren's body.

"What is the meaning of my existence?"

"Idiot, at this point, do you still want to deny yourself?"

Laurent seemed not too far away from that light, but in front of him, a man exactly like him appeared without any warning.

Although he looked weak and even had some cracks on his face, this man seemed to be blocking Lauren's path like an insurmountable mountain.

"If you don't even know what you want to do, go back."

"What...do I want to do?"

The confused soul seemed to recall something important. The memories left when he was a human began to slowly grow in his heart like a bud.

"I want to see them again."

A slightly ironic smile appeared on the face of the man blocking the way, and the light shining behind him quietly turned into a huge door.

"This time, I will definitely fulfill their wishes."

"Hmph, then you can go there... Here, leave it to me."

The man reached out and patted Lauren's shoulder, then walked past him and walked towards the boundless darkness behind him.In front of Lauren, there was only the door that seemed to be able to see a little light through the gap.

[Come on, take those precious memories with you...]

Lauren walked forward slowly, and he saw a clearly visible huge keyhole above the door.As if guided by something, he reached out and took off the weapon from his back, then inserted it into it.

The heavy door slowly opened, and infinite light overflowed from the door. Lauren didn't know what was there, but he could finally leave this endless chaos.

[Once again, save the world. 】
