"It's the Tree People who do this."
The three teenagers listened to his speech in confusion. He didn't care at all whether they could understand him or not. It was as if his suppressed emotions were just looking for an outlet and he simply wanted to vent.
"My father did not die from the assassination of the Trierred Chamber of Commerce as mentioned in the report." His tone became cold, "He was killed by the Tree People because he discovered that the Tree People had once made plans in the Arctic. Those rebellious monsters had tried it before - they wanted to activate the mysterious power buried in the ice lake to revive the Mechanical Sun Goddess!"
"What is memory?"
He waved his hands around like a madman.
"Many people think that memory is just memory...but it's not like that..."
"It's as if I, the me now, have been reborn through Robo and Maren's knowledge of me and my memories. Although this rebirth is not perfect, and I am definitely missing a lot compared to the real Solo Lawrence, it is already magical enough...even great!"
"Can you find another way to resurrect a dead person?"
"no!"
"It doesn't exist... There is no other way in the world! It's the only way... Only in this way can I be reborn... Only in this way can I reverse time..."
"So it's so wonderful... isn't it?"
"This lake freezes everything, even life's perception of itself at that time, it does not hesitate to store it!"
"Buried beneath the ice are memories of lives spanning many years and centuries!"
"Their perceptions, thoughts, passions, aspirations..."
“Everything is squeezed underneath, blooming like a kaleidoscope, and only needs one chance to be printed on the sky… This is a meeting across time and space!”
The more wildly he expressed these opinions, the deeper the fear of the three teenagers became.
Regardless of their academic performance, the fact that they can stand out among all the students and become the leader or number two in their respective circles is enough to show that they are quite quick-witted.
They all realized what the main purpose of Robo, or Robo and Solo, was in bringing them here on this journey.
"I think you all know."
Turning around again, the face was Robbo again.
"Esther's existence is incomplete. She needs to be completed. We need to use all the memories about her to create an ice man to combine with her."
"And memory... it's about the impression of a person. I don't know her completely."
"That's what you're needed for."
"So please."
"Save your good friend."
Chapter 45: Replaced Identity (Two in One)
As they went deeper into the center of the lake, Xia Yibing began to feel increasingly dissatisfied with her own weakness.
Of course, no matter how you look at it, with Hitzfeld and Esther in the team, she can't be called weak. But the problem is that one of them has insomnia and the other has a cursed disease, so they can't be viewed with common sense.
Hitzfeld would get tired, but he had a strong endurance. Esther, on the other hand, had no sign of fatigue at all. After recovering from the high fever, she seemed to have evolved, and her physical fitness had improved across the board. In the end, the only person in the team who could be considered a human being was Xia Yibing, who felt sleepy.
She was indeed very tired, so she had to take out the folding sled and lie on it, letting Lily drag the front rope while she lay on it and took a nap for a while.
Hitzfeld had been taking care of her the whole time, and seeing this, the girl realized that if this continued for a long time, the woman's mentality would definitely become unbalanced.
Whether they are called lovers or lovers, their status is equal. Submission, worship, and blasphemy are just little interests between them. At most, they are grateful to each other, and reverence does not exist.
But if I were to take that path...if I were to take that path to touch the sun, there would be a huge gap between our statuses.
That is a transformation of the level of life. Even though I would not distance myself from her because of this kind of thing, she would definitely feel bad in her heart, feeling that she was unable to help me and would have a feeling of being "left behind".
Hitzfeld has a strong ability to understand and empathize, which allows her to always discover some hidden dangers in advance. She couldn't help but start thinking about how to solve this problem.
Apart from anything else, even if she succeeds in taking that path in the end, her life level will leap, and her lifespan alone will exceed the upper limit of what a mortal can endure.
Then she couldn't just watch the person she loved the most die of old age...
The extraordinary people of this era are still too small compared to the power of the previous era. Is there a way for Xia Ye to touch the real extraordinary, rather than just becoming my believer...a way that can make her and I equal?
Unfortunately, the Blood Crystal Crow fell into a deep sleep due to excessive energy loss, otherwise Hitzfell could have asked her if this thing would have any rejection reaction if he gave his temporarily unusable original blood to others.
The reason he didn't ask before was because Hitzfeld subconsciously didn't want a woman to take over this "dirty power."
It is undeniable that flesh and blood magic is very powerful and has many magical uses, but this thing often uses flesh and blood and bones as casting materials to cause distortion... rejection is a normal person's instinctive reaction.
The girl stayed beside the sled while thinking, and walked with the team on the ice lake.
At the same time, Xia Yibing fell into a strange kaleidoscopic dream while taking a nap.
She felt her consciousness floating out of her body and rising into an endless cloud. After passing through a large cotton candy-like cloud, she saw a crystallization phenomenon beginning to appear in front of her, similar to water vapor being frozen by low temperature, and actually forming countless crystal ice surfaces in the sky.
They were like mirrors. When she flew up, her figure, face, and the slightest changes in expression were all captured by the mirror. She couldn't help but open her mouth in extreme surprise - how could I have such a dream?
What’s even more surprising is that every “Xia Yibing” in those mirrors suddenly developed their own consciousness, and their movements and expressions were no longer synchronized with those of their owners.
"Who are you?" They stared at the figure below and asked her in unison.
Xia Yibing was a little angry... You copied me, and now you are asking me?
"I'm your father." She thought it didn't matter how she played out since it was just a dream, so she raised her hand to summon the Changxia Sword, turned around and swung it in the air, and immediately a large piece of the mirror was shattered by the tip of the sword.
After this period, her body began to fall.
She thought it was almost over and she would wake up after her consciousness returned to her body.
But that was not the case... After she came down, she found that the scene on the lake had changed. It was no longer a peaceful scene shrouded in the aurora, but a vast lake that was really like a mirror.
What's going on? Xia Yibing was a little dumbfounded.
The lake has completely thawed. Is this still the Arctic?
Instinctively, she felt that this was still an ice lake, but for some reason the water here had completely thawed. Her consciousness - that is, her spirit body - quietly stepped onto the water surface, and while two ripples appeared, she was able to stand steadily on it.
After all, with experience, women begin to ask themselves some questions and think about the answers.
This is a professional preventive measure. She needs to know if something has invaded her dreams. She needs to use this method to ensure the purity of her thoughts.
After asking more than a dozen questions, the answers she came up with all matched. Xia Yibing felt relieved, at least her spiritual world was not polluted.
So what about this thawed lake?
Is this a simple wish coming true? But I don't remember when I hoped that this place would completely thaw... Because that means the entire Arctic will warm up, and the melting of glaciers will cause the sea level to rise. I'm afraid that Weinport will be flooded...
With all sorts of messy thoughts in her mind, she simply held the long Xia knife in one hand and stepped forward to explore.
The glacial lake is huge.
It was so vast that there was no end in sight. Sometimes she really felt that this was not a lake but the sea.
But could the sea be so calm?
Apart from the ripples caused by my own walking, there was no other waves. It was like a huge mirror reflecting the sky, the deep blue sky, the floating white clouds... Everything was as beautiful as a fairy tale. It was truly a world that could only exist in dreams.
"Ok?"
Just as she was sighing, she suddenly saw a flash of light somewhere in the sky above her head.
Before she could see what it was, a large splash of water suddenly rose about 50 meters in front of her. The trend was so violent that it was as if something fell from the air and hit the bottom of the lake. It took a long time for the waves to subside.
what is that?
Xia Yibing quickly ran forward a few steps, staring and trying to look for the fallen object.
Just now she suddenly had a bold guess - could it be that what she saw was the former appearance of Binghu?
Is this backtracking?
But how can this be backtracking?
Shouldn’t backtracking be Aisuen…isn’t that the ability possessed by her eye?
Why do I have it?
Xia Yibing was a little confused for a moment, she felt something strange happened to her.
When it was Elsa, she was indeed able to integrate memories by touching the remaining bones, but that was because she was "Imael" and she was connected to this continent.
This situation is inexplicable now. Could it be because of Aisuen's influence? She and I are... too close, so this power is also passed on to me?
While thinking, the woman ran to the place where something had just fallen. She squatted down and stared at the water, trying to catch the hazy black shadow below.
Click!
The lake began to freeze over.
Layers of ice crystals spread outward, and Xia Yibing suddenly felt an extremely deep sense of panic in her heart. She suddenly looked up at the sky and saw the stars above her head moving rapidly.
No, it's not the stars that are moving.
But the earth!
The lake where I am standing is moving!
"Pole Drift Theory"?
She immediately remembered what Robo had written in the notebook. These changes perfectly matched that theory!
She guessed that she should have been able to go back to the time when the ice lake was still in the equatorial tropics for some unknown reason, and then something fell from the sky. It was very likely that this thing changed the magnetic field, causing the poles to flip and moving the ice lake to the polar position.
At this point, the temperature drops sharply and the lake surface will of course begin to freeze. So this is the process of the ice lake changing along the way.
While being shocked, Xia Yibing suddenly felt her real body.
It is similar to a state of being half asleep and half awake. Although the consciousness is still stuck in the dream and unable to extricate oneself, some thoughts are able to sense the real body and realize that one is indeed dreaming.
No.
She felt it was a shame to wake up like this... I have to find out more information about the scene that even Aisuen couldn't see.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and stabbed the long knife into the ice with her backhand.
"Crack!"
Maybe she was right to be reckless. The ice was not very thick at the moment, and it cracked immediately after being stabbed by the knife, forming a mirror-like tunnel that led directly to the bottom of the lake.
How could it be this structure?
She frowned at first, but Xia Yibing quickly realized that this should be... a phenomenon caused by the powerful impact of the thing that fell to the bottom of the lake.
The lake surface was already frozen when it fell. As a foreign object that was forced into the center of the lake, the lake water it dislodged froze before it had time to completely close, thus forming a sparkling, crystal-clear tunnel... formed almost entirely of irregular mirrors.
It was dark deep in the tunnel. She tried to look inside carefully, but suddenly she felt the shadows projected on the tunnel mirror - those shadows that should have belonged to her turned their gazes and stared at her.
This is a little... a little too creepy...
Thinking of her previous experience in the clouds, Xia Yibing couldn't help feeling a little scared. Her attention was greatly distracted. When she came to her senses, she found herself lying on a sled, with Hitzfeld tucking a blanket around her collar.
"what!"
He sat up suddenly, and this action startled the girl.
"summer?"
Hitzfeld exhaled and leaned forward to look at her.
"Having a nightmare?"
It seems like it has been a long time since he has had nightmares even when I am by his side.
This situation shows that Xia is extremely insecure. Hmm, she really cares about my concerns...
"Aisun!"
Xia Yibing suddenly grabbed the girl's hand, glanced at the other people who were not alarmed and were still walking in front, and whispered to her what she had dreamed about.
“Is this the dream?”
Hitzfeld was also surprised.
Backtrack?
And a history that was older and more comprehensive than the one she had seen?
It was indeed magical. She had tried to go back in time before, but as she mentioned before, all she saw were the howling ice and snow and the changing terrain. The Arctic glaciers had always been Arctic glaciers in the images she had gone back to, and she had never gone back to the time when this place was still tropical.
It's not that she doesn't want to, but that she can't.
Her energy was not enough to sustain the time that the divine eye could recall. In other words, the woman had accomplished something in her most professional field that even she could not do. Could anything be more miraculous than this?
"So, the deflection of the poles and the changes in the planet's magnetic field are all due to the falling foreign object."
