Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 22 The Vortex Ends at the Center: Light Cone
After clearing out wave after wave of virtual soldiers, everyone finally reached the second floor.

"Hey, this shiny thing is... [Light Cone], right? Isn't this a rare item that is only available within the Interstellar Peace Company?" March Seven said in shock as he looked at the light cone floating on the table in front of him.

"No, [Light Cone] is the technology of Liuguang Yiting. Since it can carry memories with you, it is a very powerful strengthening item. It is said that the company spent a lot of money to obtain the right to use it, but it is hard to say how the black tower got it." Dan Heng said.

"I know something about this." Ye Tianyu said.

"When I was acting alone just now, I saw memory bubbles everywhere in the Black Tower Space Station. This means that a rememberer from the Flowing Light Memory Court had been here before." Ye Tianyu expressed his guess. "Perhaps these light cones were obtained after the Black Tower reached a cooperation with a rememberer."

"Yes, it's the same as Mr. Tianyu said. These pictures were obtained through legitimate cooperation transactions between Ms. Heita and Liuguang Yiting." Alan also spoke at this time.

“But that’s not right. The Rememberer doesn’t need to explain to others if he wants to obtain their memories.” March Seven immediately retorted.

"Indeed, if the Rememberer wants to obtain a person's memory, he does not need to explain it to the other party. But what if the other party is an envoy or someone protected by an envoy?" Ye Tianyu said to March Seven with a smile.

"Tianyu, do you mean... there is an envoy at the Black Tower Space Station?"

"Of course, otherwise why can the Black Tower Space Station store rare items? You know, most of the rare items are related to the Order Envoy or even the Star God." Ye Tianyu said meaningfully. "But even though there are so many rare items stored here, no one dares to covet them. Even the company treats the people here well."

"So that's how it is..." March 7 nodded and said.

"Take these light cones. They will be very helpful in battle." Alan said.

"That's not necessary. Before I joined the Starry Sky Train, I was wandering alone and had contact with Liuguang Yiting, and I had a few light cones with me. Moreover, these are collections of the Black Tower, so it's better not to touch them casually." Ye Tianyu said as he casually took out a few light cones from the inner pocket of his clothes.

"Tianyu, these light cones..." Dan Heng looked at the memories in the light cones and was about to ask but was interrupted by Ye Tianyu.

"These light cones are my memories. Or they are the byproducts of the deal I made with Liuguang Yiting." Ye Tianyu said. "Although these light cones are not as good as the original ones, they are still 8% as strong as the original ones."

"I remember that the price of the light cone is very expensive... a relatively ordinary destiny-enhancing light cone can be equivalent to a month's income of the train. Some of the stronger ones are said to be able to buy several star destroyers! Even planets can be bought!" Sanyueqi said faintly. "Tianyu, I have a feeling that the original version of your light cone can buy the entire company..."

"Ahaha... Sister Sanyue is not as outrageous as you think." Ye Tianyu felt it was very outrageous and replied frantically, wiping his sweat. "These are just a few that are a little bit stronger than the one in the Black Tower collection. It's really not as outrageous as you said."

"Fuck! You are worthy of being called the 'prophet', March. I was almost exposed... Phew... Fortunately, I have the original copy... If it was in Liuguang Yiting's hands... Uh, no... It would probably be secretly taken away by Fu Li and not shown to anyone, right? After all, even if it is 5% of the power (only 2% of the power is given), it can be used to explode stars if given to ordinary fate walkers." Ye Tianyu thought.

"Tianyu, don't worry, we will return these light cones to you after the problem with them is solved!" said March 7.

"Okay, I don't lack a few light cones. And they are all taken by our own people. Just consider it as the welcome gift I didn't give out when I joined the train." Ye Tianyu said proudly.

"Ah! Are you just going to give it to us like this?" San Yueqi was caught off guard.

"Of course. However, I'd like to say in advance that you should try to rely less on the power of the light cone because it will unconsciously affect your behavior." Ye Tianyu reminded. "Well, Tianyu is right. Although the light cone carries a powerful force, the memory inside will gradually affect the user. Especially the light cone related to [Destruction], it will increase people's desire to destroy everything. And the user will gradually feel mentally exhausted, and in more serious cases, they will have split personality." Dan Heng nodded in agreement.

“Eh! The light cone can actually have such an effect on people?! Then... I’d better not use it..." March looked at the light cone in his hand with some fear, thinking about returning it to Ye Tianyu.

"But don't worry, Sister Sanyue, because this is a byproduct. The power inside is not as strong as the original, so the impact on the mind is also much weaker than the original." Ye Tianyu said to Sanyueqi with a smile. "And there is actually a way to avoid this influence. That is to use your own memory to create a light cone, or in other words, the light cone created by the rememberer's memory of your own experience. This kind of influence on yourself can be reduced to nothing."

"Tsk tsk, these are all my creations, how could there be such side effects~ It just makes you nervous~" Ye Tianyu's seemingly serious explanation was actually just for fun, but in the end he still explained the solution.

"In other words, as long as the light cone I use is what I have experienced before, it will not have any impact?" March Seven replied.

"Of course, it's not entirely true. If you have lost that memory, you will gradually remember it after you get the relevant light cone again, and your personality may change drastically." Ye Tianyu explained. "In addition to your own memory, if you are a fate walker of [Memory] or a strong person above the level of a commander, then the impact of your memory will be much less."

"Oh... I didn't expect that Tianyu knew so much about you. Perhaps Danheng's knowledge reserves are not as good as yours!" San Yueqi praised without reservation.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. I just learned it when I was wandering before. It's still far inferior to Dan Heng who is always immersed in the ocean of knowledge!" Ye Tianyu replied modestly.

"Okay, stop bragging. We have to go back as soon as possible, otherwise we will be doomed to be surrounded by the antimatter army." Dan Heng urged.

"Okay, okay, we got it. Let's go. Xing, don't stand there like an idiot. We're leaving!" San Yue Qi replied immediately, then woke up the dazed Xing and everyone else and walked towards the elevator.

"Oh! Okay, I got it." Xing realized that everyone had finished chatting and was able to escape from the ocean of knowledge, so he immediately replied.

After solving a few puzzles to open the passage, everyone finally reached the elevator entrance.

"Finally we're at the elevator... There were so many monsters along the way... Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." San Yueqi said with a sigh.

After seeing the elevator entrance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, suddenly a purple-blue arrow flew over, and Dan Heng reacted immediately and knocked it away.

At the same time, a figure kept jumping to increase the distance and roared at the same time.

And that creature was the trampler that Ye Tianyu killed countless of them at will.

Unlike the plot, this time there are not one but five tramplers, plus scattered virtual pawns and heavy pieces (the ball) surrounding them.
