The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 141 Dealing with the Memories

Soon after, Danheng came out of the archives, and Pam and the others also came to the observation car.

"Why are the passengers on the train so nervous? Are there enemies on the train, Pam?" Pam asked, puzzled.

Dan Heng gripped the Cloud-Striking Spear tightly and looked around.

Himeko looked at the four of them wearing the same new glasses and thought of something.

"These guys are like paparazzi; they'll come running over to see anything interesting," Meng Huaifeng said, looking at the two people who had come closer through his glasses.

“Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that,” March 7th agreed.

“This saves a lot of trouble; we don’t have to look around anymore.” Walter stood up and walked around seemingly casually.

The two memory-keepers were still confused about what they were saying when Walter suddenly grabbed them.

"Wow! A ghost! The train is haunted!" Pam screamed and hid behind Himeko as she looked at the transparent figure in Walter's hand.

“The train conductor is such a wimp, so timid. Why don’t I be the train conductor?” Xing said, hands on her hips.

"Who said this train conductor is afraid? A star passenger actually dares to covet this train conductor's throne, how terrible! From now on, you won't even have any cake left, Pam!" Pam mustered up her courage and stepped out from behind Himeko's legs, speaking aggressively.

"Ah? I'm sorry, I was wrong." Xing quickly slid to her knees.

"Even if you apologize, I'll still deduct two days' worth of cakes from your wallet," Pam said angrily.

"Don't be afraid, it's a Memory of the Flowing Light Garden, not a ghost," Himeko reassured her.

Judging from their attire, they are wearing the standard uniform of Liuguang Yiting.

The one who remembers? What is that?
Angel Chase and the new passengers looked puzzled.

"The Memories are a group that follows the Star God of Memory, Fuli. They exist in the form of 'memes,' unconstrained by material limitations, and freely traverse the various realms of the cosmos. They belong to the 'Radiant Memory Court,' dedicated to collecting precious memories from the universe to please Fuli, believing that memory is evidence of existence."

“Most Destiny Walkers are helpless against Memory Collectors, and some can't even detect their existence. Fortunately, Memory Collectors only collect memories and rarely attack people proactively. Because they have abandoned their physical bodies, they have little impact on the material world and don't have many offensive methods. Their main methods are mostly aimed at mental memories, such as rewriting memories, altering cognition, and replacing common sense,” Himeko explained.

"Why is there a Memory Man on the train?" Pam realized.

Walter recounted what had happened, then restrained the two memory users. He also retrieved the memory users he had captured earlier from his spatial storage and arranged the three of them in a row for interrogation by the train crew.

"Changing memories, that's terrifying, isn't it? Just thinking about how your memories are fake, how others can change them however they want, how they can turn you into whatever kind of person they want, sends chills down my spine. It's even more terrifying than losing your memories." March 7th shuddered.

Over the past two years, with Meng Huaifeng's occasional encouragement, March 7th has become less concerned about her past memories.

Meng Huaifeng knew that Liuguang Yiting would not allow March 7 to recall his past memories. If he really wanted to force her to recall them, it was not impossible for the Memory Envoy to appear in person.

Moreover, besides those who remember, there seem to be other secrets hidden deep within the memories of March 7th.

So there's no point in dwelling on the past; you'll know when the time is right.

In addition, because she was busy learning swordsmanship at Xianzhou and Jingliu, Sanyueqi did not go to Fuxuan to search for her past memories, and she still did not know much about the Memoirs of Liuguang Yiting.

“We are legitimate memory users and we will not arbitrarily alter other people’s memories,” Memory User No. 2 retorted.

“Then you’ve made us forget our memories of you so many times before,” March 7th retorted.

“Eliminating our presence is to eliminate our influence on your behavior and let memories return to their original state, so it doesn’t count,” Memory 3 argued.

"Come on, I've heard that some of you Memory Memory users even design the plots and act as directors yourselves," Meng Huaifeng exposed.

"That's heresy, we would never do that!" Memory 3 said angrily.

"What exactly are you trying to do by lurking on the train? What have you been spying on?" March 7 asked warily. "Could my memories of showering and changing clothes have been secretly filmed?"

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently, or you'll rot in jail!" Xing threatened.

"Wait a minute, Ah Xing, which side are you on?" March 7th realized what was happening and rolled her eyes at Xing.

“What spying? How can the Memory Makers’ actions be called spying? We just wanted to follow the train to collect more precious memories, we didn’t do anything wrong,” Memory Maker #2 protested.

"Looks like I'll have to use some tricks." Meng Huaifeng tapped the coffee table lightly with his fingers and used the original version of telepathy.

It's just that those who remember have no physical form and cannot see their expressions; otherwise, one could certainly see their despair.

Having hidden on the train for so long, Yi Zhe was all too familiar with Meng Huaifeng's skill effects.

"First, tell me, are there only three of you on the train?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

The three who were remembering remained silent, but their inner thoughts had already betrayed them.

"It really was just the three of us."

"Actually, it was just me at first, but since you started exploring the new world, the Star Train has come into the view of more people. More and more Memory Makers want to collect the precious memories on the train. At first, I was able to drive the others away, but gradually I couldn't handle it anymore. I could only join forces with the two of them to drive the others away." Memory Maker No. 2 complained to himself.

"Huh, do people who remember things fight each other?" March 7 asked curiously.

“Precious memories are like company performance for us. Would you share your performance with others? Even if the perspectives on the memories are different, submitting the same memory multiple times is never as precious as having a unique one,” Memory Maker No. 2 replied.

"Suddenly, I feel that the mystery and elegance of Liuguang Yiting have dropped a lot," March 7th said speechlessly.

"Besides making us forget our memories of you, have you altered any other memories of us?" Meng Huaifeng asked again.

“I really don’t have that. I can swear to Fu Li,” Memory 2 said honestly.

Everyone on the train breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides collecting memories, do you have any other purpose on the train?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"Protect Miss March 7's memories," Memory Maker 2 said anxiously. "Don't ask anymore, you really can't ask!"

"Protect my... memories? Is my past related to the Flowing Light Memory Court? Do you know about my past?" March 7th completely ignored the Memory Master's words and asked in surprise.

"The relationship is very deep, I only know a little. Please don't ask anymore! Knowing the right thing at the wrong time is not necessarily a good thing! With the train's current strength, it can't handle it!" Memory 2 struggled frantically, trying to break free from Walter's restraints.

"Click...sizzle...click~"

A cracking sound came from inside the device.

Walter waved his hand, repairing and reinforcing the device.

"March, what's your decision?" Meng Huaifeng looked at March 7: "We're not in the original universe now. There's no power of destiny here. Even if we knew, it shouldn't be a problem."

“Then…” March 7th’s pink pupils held a hint of hope.

“Miss March 7th, we are willing to pay the price of our lives to protect the secrets in your memories,” Memory Maker No. 2 said first. Although she really wanted to know about her past and she also disliked these Memory Makers, the kind-hearted March 7th couldn't bear to drive someone to their death for this.

"Oh well, so what if I was a princess on a planet before? I won't abandon everyone to go back and inherit the throne. I'll still embark on exciting adventures with everyone in the galaxy. So what difference does it make whether I know about the past or not?" March 7 sighed, trying to console herself.

"Maybe it's not a princess, but a beggar?" Xing joked.

“Nonsense, I think you used to be a beggar. Hmm, you must have been, otherwise why would you be so keen on rummaging through trash cans?” March 7th asserted.

“I support March,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"Add one," Dan Heng said calmly.

"Huh?" Xing was a little stunned. It seemed that she really might have been a little beggar before?
No wonder I felt so close to the trash can; it turns out it used to be not only a source of food for me, but also a home that sheltered me from the wind and rain.

Don't worry, trash can, even if I'm successful now, I'll never forget my roots!
It's decided, I'm going to Juxia City to rummage through the trash cans tomorrow!
"Sister Ji, Uncle Yang, what should we do with these three people who remember?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"The train doesn't welcome uninvited, sneaky passengers like Pam!" Pam said angrily.

"Then let's kick those three off the train," Himeko decided.

"No, it's pointless for you to drive us away. Other Memory Makers will come. The Flowing Light Memory Court can't give up the Starry Sky Train, a precious source of memories. Miss March 7th also needs protection," Memory Maker No. 2 hurriedly said.

"We'll see if other people with memories come along, but it can't possibly be the three of you," Meng Huaifeng said disdainfully.

Although the system protected them from altering their memories, they found themselves unconsciously ignoring them and finding them quite annoying.

If you want to collect memories, can't you just come and visit openly? It's not like the train crew won't agree; why do you have to sneak around?

"I'll take some time to research the sensory isolation device for memory matter and memes, and try to successfully install it on the train before we return," Himeko said. It seems this trip will keep Himeko busy again.

"Send me a copy of the blueprints once you've figured it out, and I'll analyze them too," Walter said.

“No problem,” Himeko replied.

Meng Huaifeng looked at Walter strangely, and suddenly felt that Uncle Yang was living off Sister Ji Zi.

The Lawbringer of Reason is truly blessed to have found a great scientist as a patron.

"Huaifeng, why are you looking at me like that?" Walter asked curiously.

"It's nothing," Meng Huaifeng quickly shook his head.

Walter completely stuffed the three memory-bearers into the restraint device, which was then rolled into a spherical shape.

"The device will automatically open in three days, and then you can come out. Don't follow us anymore," Walter said to the Memory Maker.

"Wait! You've abandoned us, how are we going to get back to our original universe?" the Memory ...

“Once we connect the two universes, I believe you can return on your own, given the abilities of the Rememberers.” Walter remained unmoved.

The carriage door opened, and just as Walter was about to throw the Memory Man out, Meng Huaifeng eagerly took the restraint device from Walter.

"Uncle Yang, let me do it!"

Meng Huaifeng tossed up the restraints, kicked each of them hard, and sent the three memory-givers flying into the deep starry sky.

"Go away!"

"That felt great, so satisfying!" Meng Huaifeng clapped his hands.

"I want to come too," Xing said enviously.

“There aren’t any left,” Meng Huaifeng said, shrugging.

Xing shifted his gaze to the clutter inside the train.

"No, Pam!" Pam saw through Xing's thoughts and stared at Xing menacingly.

Xing could only regretfully turn her gaze away; it was all Huai Feng's fault for stepping on her too quickly.

"How far are we from the Angel Nebula?" Walter asked.

"Because we need to lay silver tracks, the speed is a bit slow. It will take another six or seven days," Himeko replied.

"Ahem, this time, passengers Walter and Meng Huaifeng discovered and resolved a safety hazard on the train. As the train conductor, I have decided to reward them with five million credits in the train's special fund. Passenger March 7, as an assistant, will be rewarded with one million credits in the train's special fund," Pam announced.

"Yay!" March 7th cheered.

"What about me?" Xing asked doubtfully.

Pam glanced at Star and said somewhat reluctantly, "Star, as a witness, will be rewarded with 10,000 credits for the train's special fund."

Xing was somewhat petrified, and said indignantly, "Ten thousand credits? Is that how you treat a beggar? I, Xing, will not accept charity."

"Since the star passengers don't want it, then take it back..."

"I want it! Even a mosquito's leg is still meat." Xing immediately changed her mind. She probably used to be a little beggar, so giving money to beggars was the right thing to do.

Ten thousand credits, how many trash cans would you have to rummage through?
Since it was a rare opportunity to return to the train, the four of them rested on the train for one night, and Pam prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone.

Pam, who said she would deduct two days' worth of cake from Star, still gave Star a portion. Star, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to mention it, and wolfed it down, as if afraid Pam would remember.

After a night's rest, the four activated the boundary anchor in the villa and returned to Earth.

As soon as he returned to Blue Star, Meng Huaifeng received a text message from Lianfeng.

"Super God Academy starts tomorrow, let's go see the students," Meng Huaifeng said, looking at the text message.

“Teaching students… I’ve never taught before, what would I teach?” March 7 asked nervously.

"Relax, we teach practical combat, just beat them up." Meng Huaifeng said, gesturing with his fist.

Meng Huaifeng couldn't bear to look at the Super Soldier Company in the original novel, even after so much training, they still looked so misfit.

The Super God Academy has many scholars and scientists among the forces on Earth and the remnants of the Deno people, but it lacks readily available powerful combat forces. The strongest, A-Jie, is only a second-generation super soldier.

Teaching theoretical knowledge is fine, but teaching combat experience is really not my forte.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that everyone in this world is a technological god. With enough computing power, they can crush others, so they don't pay much attention to close combat.

Perhaps they believe that as long as they develop their physical strength and quickly integrate and upgrade their super genes, they can crush opponents even if they lack combat experience.
