Chapter 1485

"「For example? You're not the best at this, are you? 」"

"「The impression that 'San Yue Xiaojie' gives people is like a reflection on the water's surface. But it's not a calm, clear lake surface, but a deep pool. In her words, I sensed a strong and pure…」"

"Xingqiri paused for a moment, carefully considering his words."

"「Protective instinct. 」"

"Walter's brow furrowed even deeper: "「Protective instinct? 」"

"「It's just my guess, but after being drawn into Wengfaluo Si, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue may have experienced… no, should say foreseen some kind of tragic outcome. Out of protection for her comrades on the train, she awakened this… almost evil power. 」"

"Upon hearing this, Walter finally relaxed a little: "「If we look on the bright side, at least San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue won't fall into danger again. 」"

"「After this battle, I'm afraid I'll hardly be able to join the battlefield again through 'Tuning'. So…… is Black Swan lady's action still going smoothly? 」"

"「Don't worry. Taking advantage of the disturbance you created, she successfully concealed her movements and advanced upstream along the Memory Realm. 」Heitian E smiled faintly, "「I wouldn't have guessed, but that Memory Visitor is quite brave. Acting against orders and moving independently…… this means she will become an enemy of the Liuguang Memory Court. 」"

"——"

"Jujutsu Kaisen."

"「Teacher, Black Swan lady is finally about to make a move…… will she win? 」Yuji Itadori anxiously looked toward his teacher."

"「She will win. 」Satoru Gojo said firmly."

"「Hard to say, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue naturally won't fall into danger, but she herself is danger, and moreover a danger of extremely high degree. 」Rikuto Kusakabe also sounded somewhat helpless, "「Ah, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue suddenly became this strong, clearly a good thing, yet it turned out like this…… is her Memory Tide really that hard to handle? 」"

"「This Memory Tide, in concepts we can understand, is probably a 'Domain Expansion' covering an area as large as an entire planet. In her own domain, she holds an absolute advantage. 」Mei Mei gently brushed aside the white braid on her face, speaking calmly, "「She can decide the entry and exit of outsiders, can actively open, and can at any time close the passage of Wengfaluo Si. 」"

"「An entire planet……」Yuji Itadori swallowed, "「Doesn't that mean being constantly under her surveillance at all times? 」"

"Shoko raised her eyes and asked: "「Put another way, can Black Swan enter Wengfaluo Si by taking advantage of Night Moon's unpreparedness to sneak in; or did Night Moon already discover her movements and deliberately let her in? 」"

"「After witnessing her clash with Xingqiri, I believe the latter. 」Mei Mei gently rubbed her own hair with her fingertips, "「She can drive Xingqiri away in an instant, and I have the same reason to believe she can do the same to Black Swan. Although she said 'next time find a Memory Visitor' to come, even if a Memory Visitor truly came, they might not gain much advantage from her. 」"

"——"

"「「That said, I also need to consider the long term. 」"

"「「I originally wanted to lurk in the dark to avoid direct confrontation. But……」Black Swan gazed at the empty Fate's Narrow Gap, a flicker of confusion in her eyes, 「Why is it so utterly silent? 」"

"「「The space is filled with thick Memetic Essence, yet it's chaotic and messy, like shattered memories fused together. 」"

"「「Memory Thieves should have flooded into Wengfaluo Si in large numbers, this place should be 'extremely lively】……」Black Swan looked up toward the distance, only seeing a Memory Thief suspended in midair in a strange posture, surrounded by swirling red jellyfish."

"「「But they… how did they become like this? Now my curiosity is also aroused. 」"

"「Black Swan approached the body of that Memory Thief, after carefully probing and sensing, her expression gradually turned grave: 「…empty shell. The consciousness maintaining this Memory Body has vanished. Method clean and decisive, leaving no trace. 」"

"「「……」"

"「She lowered her head slightly, then began to think again: 「Another possibility is, for some more hidden purpose, she sacrificed herself. Regardless of the reason. What exactly caused this group of fanatical believers to end up like this? 」"

"「「【Memory】 ah… indeed is an alluring yet dangerous deep sea. Beneath the surface, there always lie fascinating secrets. 」"

"「「I always feel this scene has also been performed in Pinokangni. 」"

"「Black Swan looked ahead, only to see two more Memory Thieves similarly suspended farther away. They resembled corpses that had suffered maritime disasters in the deep sea and drowned, drifting silently, empty of anything. 」"

"——"

"Honkai 3."

"「I I I… I feel, maybe Black Swan lady you should just go back? This place looks kind of creepy……」Patrick whispered."

"「I also feel a bit uneasy, these Memory Thieves in the Fate's Narrow Gap are all suspended, killed by Night Moon…… not a single Memory Thief broke through her blockade. 」"

"Eden raised his head to gaze at that peaceful Fate's Narrow Gap, having followed Star's perspective before, they had also seen this scene many times, but never had it felt so chilling as today."

"Faintly, it seemed as if Night Moon's gaze was silently fixed on her, just like the ghosts hiding in shadows in horror movies."

"「No wonder we haven't seen any Memory Thief come to Wengfaluo Si, I initially thought they were still hiding, still waiting for a chance to act. 」Veltrova chuckled, "「Turns out, they can't act at all. 」"

"Eden slightly furrowed his brows: "「But the problem is, these Memory Thieves shouldn't have come in a batch, but one by one to Wengfaluo Si. If they see this horrifying sight in the Fate's Narrow Gap, while the outside world remains completely unaware of the danger here, then that also means——」"

"「After entering Wengfaluo Si, not a single Memory Thief has left this place alive, they failed to convey the danger here outwards. 」Veltrova proactively took over her words, "「As long as one comes here, they can never escape again. 」"

"——"

"Black Swan approached the other two Memory Thieves, using the power of 'Memory' to hear their voices from before death."

"「「Get ready, it's time to depart. 」"

"「「No problem? That world is wrapped in a mass of chaotic substance. That white light band… has already caused our plans to fail many times. 」"

"「「Don't worry. Since the pink girl from the Starfall Train barged into Wengfaluo Si…… the resistance that kept the Memory Court isolated has already disappeared. 」That Memory Thief showed no concealment of his inner delight, "「Is it really the 'pioneer' Unnamed Guest who helped a lot? 」"

"「「What are you happy about? The more unrelated people there are, the more troublesome things become? What if those pioneers first find the 'Memory' seed……」"

"「「Then we'll just steal it back, won't that be done? 」The Memory Thief, while excited, also cautioned softly, 「Speaking of this, there is a Messenger, a Memory Visitor, on the train, stance unclear. When acting, don't let them notice. 」"
