Chapter 1680

"This also shows from the side that Dr. Chadwick's current state is indeed abnormal."

"After all, a normal person has no way to survive in such an environment for a long time."

Venti said while looking around curiously.

A moment later, he rested his chin on his hand with a strange expression and muttered:

"In short, there isn't even a shadow of Dr. Chadwick in the room."

"Even the Dream Pool is empty, with only a Memory Bubble floating... wait, Memory Bubble?!"

Venti swallowed his throat and stared wide-eyed at the Memory Bubble floating above the Dream Pool.

Even though he was just a passenger on the Astral Express who had just arrived in Penacony and checked into the Dreamscape Hotel not long ago, he knew how discordant it was for a Memory Bubble to appear in the Dream Pool.

"No way, it shouldn't be what I'm thinking..."

Venti opened his mouth wide, instinctively wanting to deny the answer he had thought of in his heart.

If Chadwick had really been turned into a Memory Bubble, that would be too cruel.

"It seems Mr. Venti has also thought of it."

"Although it is somewhat cruel, I think we should face reality."

Arlecchino looked in Venti's direction, then looked in Black Swan's direction.

Black Swan nodded and said:

"I think your guess is correct; that Memory Bubble lingering in the Dream Pool is likely the Chadwick we are looking for."

Black Swan is a Memokeeper; her words naturally carry considerable persuasive power.

As her words fell, everyone in the room walked toward the Dream Pool one after another.

Screwllum reached out and fished the Memory Bubble out of the Dream Pool, letting it float in mid-air.

"As expected."

"We meet again, Dr. Chadwick."

Screwllum said softly.

"Mr. Screwllum, are... are you sure that is Chadwick?"

Robin held her hands tightly, asking somewhat nervously.

"Naturally."

"I previously met Dr. Chadwick in the Penacony dreamscape."

"The aura emanating from this Memory Bubble is exactly the same as Dr. Chadwick in the dreamscape."

Screwllum said.

"That is indeed true; even I can feel a familiar aura on the Memory Bubble."

Arlecchino nodded in agreement.

Looking at the Memory Bubble before her, Arlecchino felt as if she were seeing Chadwick himself.

【Kaveh: Well, the facts are even more exaggerated than I imagined. I originally thought that Chadwick's body at least still existed, perhaps being frozen, or perhaps being preserved in some other form.】

【Kaveh: But I never expected that Chadwick doesn't even have a body now, just this Memory Bubble left?】

【Dottore: It is quite surprising; I didn't expect that a person could still enter the dream through the Dream Pool after turning into a Memory Bubble.】

【Ningguang: To some extent, this can also be considered further proof of the special nature of the Penacony dreamscape, but Chadwick's current state is truly sigh-inducing.】

【Mavuika: A genius, ending up in a state where one doesn't know if he's alive or dead, truly makes one not know what to say.】

【Yae Miko: So, is Chadwick's soul and will sealed within the Memory Bubble? Was this done by the IPC, the Family, or both?】

【Dottore: If one could know the means to achieve this, could it be used on Sumeru's Akasha?】

【Nahida: Please do not have such dangerous thoughts, Dottore. I will not allow it.】

【Dottore: Heh, I was merely proposing an idea. Please rest assured, I don't intend to go to your place for the time being.】

After all, Nahida is also a Pathstrider, and a strider who just stepped into the universe and stepped onto the Path of Memory.

Even if Dottore has confidence in himself, he doesn't dare to be certain that he can steadily defeat Nahida.

Not to mention that there is also Candace, the navigator of the Astral Express, in Aaru Village.

Dottore doesn't intend to have any ideas about the countries that possess Astral Express routes for the time being.

At least for the gods who are representative of these countries, Dottore doesn't want to be their enemy for now.

Unless one day, Luo Feng changes his attitude and withdraws the established Astral Express routes.

Although until now, such a thing has never happened.

But Dottore believes this is not impossible.

To give an example, if the people of Mondstadt all became the Mondstadt "giant babies" that Luo Feng hates.

Would Luo Feng still let Mondstadt have an Astral Express route?

At least in Dottore's view, such a possibility is too small, too small.

As long as Jean, Lisa, and the others are still alive, the possibility of Mondstadt falling into a country of "giant babies" is not high.

But the future is hard to say.

Dottore considers his own lifespan to be very long; he has plenty of time to wait.

"The only variable is that Luo Feng might bestow Abundance fruits upon certain Teyvat people, letting Lisa, Jean, and the others become long-lived species."

"... I hope that man Luo Feng won't be too generous. I hope this man will cast his gaze more upon women like Black Swan and Robin."

"Don't let those Teyvat women have too many opportunities to please him."

Dottore looked at Luo Feng on the forum screen with deep eyes, his deep voice echoing constantly in the laboratory, occasionally accompanied by the chirping of insects.

………………

"As a short-lived species, the possibility of Dr. Chadwick surviving to the present with his physical body is infinitely close to zero."

"To this day, no life-extending technology can extend the lifespan of an ordinary human to two Amber Eras."

Screwllum's words fell, and Miss Ruan Mei agreed:

"There is no ordinary method to allow Chadwick's physical body to survive for two Amber Eras."

"But with Penacony's understanding of Memetic Matter, perhaps they could extract the material from the bottom of Chadwick's brain, allowing Chadwick's thoughts to continue living in the Penacony dreamscape."

Hearing this, Robin felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.

"Did the members of the Penacony Family actually do such a thing?"

Robin sighed.

"Miss Ruan Mei just proposed a possibility, and when Chadwick's matter happened, you hadn't been born yet."

"So I think there is no need for you to be too concerned, Ms. Robin."

Luo Feng comforted her.

"That may be so, but it is a fact that Dr. Chadwick appeared here."

"We... Penacony still cannot escape the responsibility."

Robin shook her head and said in a low voice.

"If we really want to talk about who cannot escape the responsibility, it has to be the IPC people, right?"

"If you ask me, Chadwick became like this."

"It is more likely because the IPC people used the technology provided to them by the Garden of Recollection to seal the Memetic Matter in Chadwick's brain into a Memory Bubble."

Herta rested her chin on one hand and analyzed.

As her words fell, Arlecchino, Raiden Ei, Venti, and the others couldn't help but glance at Black Swan.

"Everyone, please don't look at me like that; I did not participate in Dr. Chadwick's matter."

"And I wouldn't do such a cruel thing."

Black Swan said.

"There's no help for it; who told you to be a person from the Garden of Recollection."

Luo Feng put his hand on Black Swan's shoulder and laughed.

"That may be so, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's really as Ms. Herta said, that the IPC side used the technology provided by the Garden of Recollection to turn Chadwick into such a state."

Black Swan said. As a member of the Garden of Recollection, she still wanted to campaign for the reputation of the Garden of Recollection.

If Luo Feng could have a better impression of the Garden of Recollection.

Perhaps the possibility of Luo Feng allowing her to explore his related memories could be greater.

"Is that really so?"

Luo Feng smiled and looked at Sunday, who was holding his phone and seemed to be in contact with someone, and asked:

"I wonder what Mr. Sunday thinks about this?"
