Kevin, but with little Ellie as a male mother on Star Rail

For most ordinary people, their thoughts will indeed diverge involuntarily when they are not focused enough, just like when you are studying, you may suddenly think of what to eat for dinner.

These chaotic thoughts are usually the main reason why most people cannot concentrate - people cannot completely control their subconscious mind, just like they cannot control their dreams.

Only a few people can control their dreams after going through hard training, and only after experiencing suffering can they control the random thoughts in their minds.

But as for Kevin...he no longer dreams anymore.

Kevin raised his palm and nodded his head gently, then raised it again after a moment, already having a conclusion in his mind.

"The 'commandments' were loosened just after they were imposed. This is definitely not a natural phenomenon."

"......"

"If you still don't say a word, then I can only define this attitude as hostility."

I don’t know who I am talking about.If you look at it purely from an objective perspective, you can only see Kevin standing at the junction of the water and the sky, looking somewhere with his eyes slightly closed - very much like his former friend.

But just a few seconds after Kevin finished speaking, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from the empty sea -

"Stop, stop, stop! If I accidentally mess up this matter, I will really be demolished by Mr. Fu Li!"

"But I still can't understand why you can actually discover my existence. How is this possible?! No one has ever been able to discover the Rememberer in a memetic state. Obviously I have no connection with the material world. !”

Until this moment, Kevin did not open his eyes, but he seemed to be able to feel a girl floating in front of him, but...her face was wrapped by something, it seemed like A mirror, no matter how hard you try, you can only reflect yourself in it.

But this seems to be true. If there is such a soul that is completely disconnected from the real world, you can't see, hear or touch it...how can you possibly discover him?

Just like the people who were once on earth, they proved that even if heaven exists, they also cannot prove that heaven does not exist.

"As long as it is an existence, it can never be completely isolated from everything in the world...even Schrödinger and her two cats." Kevin replied softly.

In his firm understanding, there are always only two things in this world: existence and non-existence.Your own thinking can never be wrong out of thin air, so it is definitely affected by other things.

"So, can you tell me now, what is your purpose?"

It's not a friendly act to secretly manipulate other people's consciousness.

If Kevin hadn't been unable to find an effective attack method for a while, he might not be talking to the other party so peacefully now.

"How should I put it? It may be a little troublesome to explain. Can you lift the blockade a little and let me pour the memory directly into it...Okay, it doesn't seem to be possible, so I'll explain it bit by bit."

Even though he couldn't see the girl's expression, the sense of grievance could be transmitted directly to Kevin's perception. It's quite strange?

And soon, Kevin heard the other party 'speak' word for word: "Let me think about it... You should have heard of Mr. Fuli, who represents the destiny of 'memory', right? It's like following the 'hunting' Just like the alliance, the Liuguang Yiting I am in is composed of Yiren who admire Lord Fuli."

"Thinking is existence, and memory is the evidence of existence. The materials that make up your material world will eventually be destroyed, but it can last forever through another way - that is memory."

"With Lord Fuli's inspiration, we rememberers can disembodied bodies, travel through the universe in the form of memes, and search for the most precious memories in the sea of ​​stars for Lord Fuli!"

The girl's voice paused slightly when she spoke here, and then imitated a certain majestic voice very vividly: "'The disappearance of tangible things will inevitably bring about the annihilation of invisible things.'... Look at this Across the universe, the storm of the antimatter army swept across, and the sparks of civilization were blown away. Even without Nanook, many worlds were crumbling and entering dusk. Allowing the memory of civilization to fade away is an unforgivable destruction!"

"That's why Yiting decided to collect and keep their memories. After the disaster is over, these memory fragments will spell out a blueprint for rebirth for everything that has disappeared!"

Chapter 162: The lost civilization is gone

"To be honest, I was originally thinking of using some unfair method to obtain the memory in your mind... But what you said to that guy later was so handsome that I changed my mind immediately. idea!"

When this was mentioned, the girl was so excited.Then, just like the echo function on Little Ellie's speaker, the voice that was so familiar to Kevin entered his mind again——

["Perhaps miracles do not exist in the first place. In the vast universe, there are only a handful of people who can look up at the starry sky and move towards the starry sky through transformation after transformation."

"I will not interfere with the development of civilization, but I will not watch it die."]

"How is it? Isn't it handsome? Isn't it handsome?"

"Although it is only collected from my own perspective, I decided to keep this memory properly so that I can show it off to others in the future."

It was obvious that the girl was absolutely serious about her boast.

"......"

But with such a simple move, Kevin was immediately silenced.

Have you ever seen someone record someone else's words and then play it back to someone else to say you are so handsome?Is anyone really thick-skinned enough to agree with this feeling?

Even Kevin, who had always been calm and composed, could clearly feel an embarrassing emotion spreading in his heart at this time, which was really difficult to suppress.

"So, your purpose is also very clear. It is the memory in my mind...the memory of civilization, right?" In order to eliminate this weird emotion from his mind, Kevin decisively chose the most commonly used... The most effective method is to change the subject.

"The memory of civilization is indeed very important to Yiting. After all, it is the blueprint for reshaping the universe one day... But the most important point is not that. If possible, I want to get all your memories... .This is even an order given to me personally by Master Fu Li, bypassing Yi Ting."

As she said that, the girl's tone revealed some hope: "That was the first time I saw Master Fu Li's true appearance. How should I put it... I don't know how to describe it to others. After all, his Existence must be far more wonderful than those of us who remember.”

"Although I don't know what the old man means by doing this, anyway, he said so, so I will do it...after all, it is an oracle!"

In terms of personality, this girl seems to be a completely optimistic person. She will not think about things that are unclear to her. She even explains to Kevin on her own: "But having said that, you Is this guy really weird?"

"Logically speaking, we rememberers no longer exist in the material world and only exist in the memories of others in the form of memes... In fact, if the restrictions are relaxed, we should be able to read the memories of others at will - of course , after all, I am a strictly trained memory stealer, and I will never do the kind of illegal behavior that a memory stealer would do!"

"Anyway, I have never heard of anyone with such strange shackles in their mind, who can even withstand the memory of the meme state... My attachment to you is completely superficial now - —It’s like right now, your eyes are absorbing information from all around, and then displaying it as a temporary memory in your mind.”

"Um......"

Regarding this point, Kevin is very self-aware - the half-baked "commandments" he has now will definitely not achieve similar effects, and it can only be Aponia, or other leftover things. .

Memetic Contagion - Kevin had heard someone talk about a similar concept a long time ago.It was a very scary thing, and Mei once pointed out the simplest concept to describe it.

Suppose there is such a Herrscher, and his ability is to cause everyone who sees, hears, or thinks about him to be infected with collapse - then in this way, whether humans use words or images to record, or ears and mouth According to legend, he can invade every corner in a way that is difficult to detect and resist.

Because you will be affected by it just by thinking about it, there is only one way to fight against him - to use another thing to deal with people who have never heard of him, and then in an unmanned containment facility. After it is completed, it will be sealed forever without any reservation...including history, that is, all those who know it.

In this universe, existence like the Rememberer is obviously more terrifying.If they can really live completely in their memories without restrictions, and even be able to change them at will... then they will be the "white ghosts" that dominate the world.

"Although I have no way and cannot search your memory, you are definitely thinking bad things about me, right?"

The girl asked in a very suspicious tone, but quickly showed her true nature and left it behind. She asked happily: "So let's exchange! As long as you are willing to give up part of your memory, in I can get everything in exchange for this."

"Aren't you curious about what happened to the Dragon Lord of the Mingchi Clan? Don't you want to know the historical truth of the immortal boat that has been buried for thousands of years? Don't you have complete ignorance of the messages from the various star gods and their envoys? Dare you be interested?"

"Even if you want, it's not impossible for me to inquire about some private and secret memories..."

"No, I think let's forget it." Before the other party could finish speaking, Kevin rejected the proposal without hesitation.

"Rejected...rejected? Why?!" The girl asked anxiously: "Are you not interested in these things at all?"

"Because whether it's the memory of civilization or my own memory, I won't exchange it." Kevin replied very indifferently.

In other words, there is no harm in calling the memories developed by previous civilizations and current civilizations his own.But they are by no means the capital that Kevin uses for wanton exchange.

"You said before that civilization will disappear, but memory will last forever... But the so-called memory can only be called evidence of existence, not existence itself."

"If there are memories in my mind...that new civilization, I believe they will lead it into the future. As for those that are further back...they are still meaningless."

"The moment civilization dies completely, its existence and the spirit it represents have no meaning. Of course, we can rely on the memory in our minds to say that it will still survive in our hearts forever. We can also use various propaganda and Uplifting words that refuse to acknowledge the death of civilization.”

"But death is death. No matter how many and fresh things are left behind, it will not come back to life. The moment the possibility of civilization disappears, its existence and future will also die."

Chapter 163 Looking forward and backward, how to use the sword?

This is something that Kevin could never agree with.

He has always stubbornly believed that as long as the "Stigmata Project" can be successfully implemented, even if all humans lose their bodies and can only survive in the spiritual space as a form of spirit and memory, at least human civilization will be continued.

But it wasn't until not long ago that he fully understood - that was not a success at all, nor was it a continuation of civilization... At the moment when all human beings lost their individuality and possibility, this completely A civilization without a future is completely dead.

The theory of retaining all people in the spirit seems to be no different from the Liu Guang Yi Ting that simply stores civilization in memory.

This is just a way to commemorate and prove their existence, not salvation.

"This, this, this, you can't say that, right! You see, don't I count as a kind of memory now? Not only am I living more relaxedly than when I was restrained in the body, but I am also more free!"

"Now I no longer have to worry about extreme cold and heat, pain, itching, hunger and thirst, and I no longer have to worry about swords, guns and disasters in the world harming me - after all, I am no longer a human being!"

As the girl's words fell, even Kevin seemed to have an illusion in a trance - it seemed that the body at this time was heavy and slow, just a shell that restricted himself, and only by throwing it away could he reach his true self. freedom of.

Of course, this is just an illusion for Kevin. After all, he doesn't need to become a rememberer and is not afraid of those things at all.

"At the same time, without a physical body, there is no adrenaline, no dopamine and other hormones that can make people feel happy, angry, sad, and affect judgment. This also gives me a more neutral perspective to examine human thoughts and desires. It can be said that , I’m one step closer to free will.”

"The only price is - I can only exist and move freely with the memories of others... But human beings themselves are a group species, and who can really exist completely separate from other people?"

The girl spread her palms, as if becoming a rememberer would have no harm to her at all.

"You won't be affected by any emotions, does this count as freedom for you?" Kevin looked up at the girl who looked quite happy, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Yes, doesn't that count? Aren't many people like this? When they don't want to be sad, they can't control themselves anyway. They know that this will cause big trouble, but they can't control their temper...I can't compare They are much stronger." The girl said matter-of-factly.

"..."

What responded to her was Kevin's timely silence.

But it is precisely because of joy, anger, sorrow, and various different emotions and judgments that people can be called human beings.They have a variety of possibilities. Even a child who seems ordinary when he is a child may become a protagonist who leads the world when he grows up.

Because there are countless possibilities, because there is an undefinable future, because they will continue to change themselves - so machines with rich emotions are just machines, so such people are considered alive and can be called human beings. .

But the girl in front of her... The reason why she can show such a posture and show such changeable emotions is just because she was such a girl when she became the Rememberer.

But from then on, she will always be a young girl, never enter middle age, let alone become an old man.

At that moment, the emotions and these possibilities were ripped away from her.

Just like the memory in Kevin's mind, she too is dead.

———— ————

"Hmph, the information I found is absolutely correct... If nothing else happens, those thieves must have fled near the Scale Abyss Realm."

Also on the endless sea level, a young man who looked young was standing steadily at the front of the speeding Xingcha, not disturbed even though it was facing the wind.

While his hair was being blown around, he did not forget to stretch out his hand and clenched his fist tightly in mid-air, showing the young man's high spirits vividly: "It's just that those guys definitely don't know. The entrance to the Abyss Realm can only be opened freely by the Dragon Lord of the Vidyadhara Clan. Even if a group of outsiders find it, it will be completely meaningless."

"I know that the purpose of those star core hunters bringing the star core to Luofu is to build wood. When I capture them all, I will definitely be able to relieve the general's worries."

At this point, the young man suddenly lowered his hand and touched the jade omen at his waist. He couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "But having said that, why has there been no news from the Yunqi Army so far... .That’s all, a group of sneaky guys will definitely not achieve anything.”

On top of this Immortal Boat Luofu, there is such a young man that almost everyone knows about - that is the youngest Xiaowei in the history of the Yunqi Army and the personal bodyguard of General Jingyuan, Yan Qing.

In the history of thousands of years of development, Xianzhou's laws and regulations are very complete, and there is almost no precedent for people who are underage to join public office... But Yanqing broke this rule. The original General Jingyuan After finding this orphaned young man on the battlefield, he overcame all objections and included him in the Cloud Cavalry Army. It didn't take long for him to be promoted to the position of Xiaowei.

It's not a big deal that there has never been a minor in the Cloud Cavalry. The key is that this young man is only a mere prime minister, but he is qualified for the position of guard that countless Cloud Cavalry troops may never touch in their lifetime. How can this convince everyone?

Even if the person who made this choice was Jing Yuan, who was known as the "Closed Eyes General" on the Immortal Boat and had almost no tricks, some people would inevitably say that he was nepotistic.

But the facts proved to everyone that this "General with Closed Eyes" still made no mistake this time.The dazzling brilliance that bloomed on the battlefield dozens of times proved that this young man not only has the strength to serve as a knight guard, but is even better than it.

However, although his strength far exceeds that of his peers, he still has not changed his youthful nature. His whole figure is like an unsheathed sword, with an indomitable momentum.

General Jingyuan was often troubled by this.Of course, it may be that in the young man's own opinion, a young man of his age should be as high-spirited as he should be. Otherwise, what would he look like if he were like his own general who often closes his eyes and is arrogant?

If you think about it over and over, looking forward and backward, then how should you use the sword!

Chapter 164 Yanqing: This guy doesn’t look like a good person at first glance

But this time, the main reason why Yanqing went out alone to pursue the bandits lurking in the fairy boat was because his general had a rather laissez-faire attitude towards these dangerous guys.

These people who are notorious among the stars and are even wanted by the Interstellar Peace Company at a high price, what kind of good people can they be?If he is really a good person, why is he wanted?

Of course, he went out alone to pursue the star core hunter, but it was definitely not out of dissatisfaction or resentment.But he felt that as the right-hand man of his own general, he should naturally help his old man solve his difficulties.

It doesn't matter even if the general and the old man are too lazy to deal with these thieves, Yanqing alone can catch and bring to justice these thieves who broke into Xianzhou Luofu without knowing the heights of the sky.

There is no reason why, just because as the youngest Yunqi Xiaowei in Luofu, he Yanqing is the strongest swordsman in Xianzhou Luofu.If the General hadn't felt that he was still insufficient compared to the previous generation of "Swordshead" who had been eliminated by Xianzhou, defeating everyone else in the Starry Martial Arts and winning the first place would not be the best for him. What a difficult thing.

Of course, Yanqing's pursuit must not stop there. At least winning the "Sword Leader" of the alliance is his small goal.

After that, he would do something big and leave his name in history, and after that...well, there would be no more after that. He hadn't fully thought about it yet.

But no matter what, this kind of life plan is obviously enough for a young man.All he has to do at this stage is to keep working hard towards his goals. This alone is enough to surpass the vast majority of ordinary people.

And as for the future...?

Just like what Kevin is thinking, the reason why people are called people and can be judged to exist and be alive is because of their own changeable emotions and the possibility of constant change.

Who can guarantee that this young man who is now high-spirited and moving forward will suddenly change his personality and views due to something one day in the future, and will he transform into a mature and steady swordsman?

It is precisely because everyone's future is filled with countless possibilities and uncertainties that the collection of these individuals - civilization, will have an infinite future.

However, no matter how real these things seem, they all belong to 'tomorrow'.Nowadays, all the young people can think about is bringing those star core hunters to justice as soon as possible.So much so that the star under his feet seemed to be aware of its owner's intentions, flying faster and faster at a low altitude close to the sea.

"Wait a minute, why does there seem to be... a figure on the sea?"

For a qualified swordsman, vision training is naturally also a completely indispensable part.Therefore, even though he was still thousands of meters away, Yanqing very accurately captured the figure in his line of sight who seemed to be almost integrated with the sea.
