Zhou Xingxing was a little confused. He looked in the direction Tingyun was pointing, but there was nothing there.

"Oh dear, I forgot that my benefactor is blind. I need to borrow my strength to help him."

Tingyun smiled slightly, reached out and took Zhou Xingxing's hand, and then a faint golden light appeared in Zhou Xingxing's eyes.

Qiong pouted when she saw this, but it seemed like they were doing something important, so she didn't want to stop them.

After thinking it over, Qiong walked to the other side of Tingyun and took Tingyun's other hand. Since he couldn't stop it, he would join in!

After holding hands with Tingyun, Zhou Xingxing felt a sudden light in his eyes, and then he saw Himeko Murata standing in front of the train looking at them.

"Himeko, why are you out here?"

Chapter 198 Reshaping the Body

"I don't know either. After I met that Star God with you guys, I opened my eyes and found myself in that storage room."

"Then I saw you coming, so I greeted you, but you didn't seem to see me."

Himeko shook her head, not quite understanding herself either.

"I'm afraid Fu Li did something to you... but I can't understand its language either, so perhaps I can only ask the Black Tower."

"Is that the little girl from before? She's so young, yet so amazing..."

"She's not some little girl..."

Upon hearing Himeko's words, Stephen Chow couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"By the way, where's Walter?"

"Uncle Yang is with Black Tower. It seems he's quite eager for Black Tower to keep Himeko alone in a simulated universe."

"Sora said to Himeko."

"But now that you've managed to get out, they'll probably be quite surprised."

Zhou Xingxing smiled slightly, but then realized that without Tingyun's help, he wouldn't be able to see Ji Zi.

However, the matter of Tingyun is not easy to explain. Qiong may not have noticed, but if the Black Tower knew about it, it would probably ask questions out of curiosity.

Tingyun noticed Zhou Xingxing's slight frown beside her and understood what he was thinking.

"For a period of time, we Immortal Boat people often dealt with spiritual entities like Suiyang. It's quite normal that we have some tricks up our sleeves to be able to see the spirit body."

Tingyun smiled slightly and said.

"That's certainly reasonable."

Zhou Xingxing nodded, knowing that Tingyun was helping him, and naturally took over the conversation.

So everyone returned to Black Tower's office once again.

"Strange, I've already stored this strange object separately, so why isn't it reacting? Didn't you say there was a soul inside?"

Looking at the situation in the simulated universe, Black Tower couldn't help but ask Walter a question.

"That's true. She was with us until we met the Star God. But when the Star God left, we were forced to leave the simulated universe. As for Himeko Murata... I don't know."

Walter shook his head, and his heart tightened when he learned that the fragments of the Godfall Sword were no longer responding.

Considering what the Memory Star God said to Himeko before, could it be that he took Himeko's soul away?

"Hmm... if that's the case, perhaps we should try to decipher what Fu Li said. Let me investigate."

As he spoke, Black Tower got busy again.

Deciphering the language of the Star Gods is not a difficult task for the Black Tower, which specializes in studying the Star Gods.

Within minutes, Black Tower deciphered what Fu Li had said earlier.

Your memories are interesting; I want to preserve them.

In exchange, you will walk the path of memory, and your soul (memory) will endure.

Hei Ta slowly repeated Fu Li's words, then frowned deeply.

"This Himeko Murata..."

"what happened?"

Seeing Black Tower's expression, Walter became very nervous.

"Very interesting. Even the Star God is interested in her memories. It's worth studying!"

"..."

Walter was speechless upon hearing this. Seeing Black Tower's previous state, he had thought something had happened to Himeko.

"Don't worry, her memories were previously entirely dependent on the artifact to survive. But now that Fu Li has bestowed upon her the destiny of those memories, it means that her memories, after being strengthened by that destiny, can now exist independently."

Black Tower looked around, then pulled out a pair of glasses from somewhere.

"Her soul has most likely left this artifact and is currently wandering around the space station. Wearing these glasses will allow you to observe the soul. Go find her and bring her here."

Black Tower handed his eyes to Walter and said.

Valte nodded, took the glasses, and was about to go look for Himeko when he heard the door open.

"No need to look anymore, we've already brought Himeko here."

Qiong walked in, her tone full of smugness.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Walter took off his glasses and put on the pair of glasses that the Black Tower had given him.

Sure enough, they then saw Himeko following behind the three of them.

"Huh? Himeko Murata should be in a spirit form, right? How did you guys see her?"

Black Tower found it strange, since even he needed to rely on strange objects to observe the soul, but these two brought the soul directly without using any methods.

"This brings us to our Miss Tingyun."

Stephen Chow chuckled and pointed at Ting Yun.

"You? You have the means to observe souls?"

Upon hearing this, Hei Ta couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ting Yun, whom he had never met before.

"There are many Suiyang on the Luofu Immortal Ship. I occasionally have to deal with Suiyang, and naturally I have learned some methods."

Tingyun smiled slightly at the Black Tower and said.

"So you're from the Immortal Ship. That's not surprising."

Black Tower nodded. Everyone has their own expertise. Although the technology of the Immortal Ship could not compare to his own, it was not surprising that they had been dealing with spiritual entities like Suiyang for many years.

"Himeko, are you now free to move around freely outside the simulated universe?"

Walter asked Himeko with some surprise.

"Yeah, but it's not very convenient, since most people can't see me."

Himeko nodded and smiled slightly.

"Are you done catching up? Now it's time for me to take a good look at this."

Black Tower stared at Himeko with shining eyes and said.

"Research...research what?"

Himeko felt uneasy under his gaze, and a chill ran down her spine.

“Even Fu Li is interested in you, so of course I have to study you carefully. I’m also very curious about what your memories are that could arouse the interest of the Star God.”

"Um...can I refuse?"

Himeko chuckled awkwardly and asked.

"What do you think?"

Black Tower stood with his hands on his hips, looking utterly unquestionable.

"But you don't need to worry. This research isn't happening now. I need to wait for an expert in this field to work with me on it."

Himeko breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Although I used to be a researcher myself, I don't like being the one being researched.

However, he was able to reunite with his old friend thanks to the Black Tower in front of him.

This kindness must naturally be repaid.

"Alright, you guys hurry up and resolve the Edo Hoshi issue for me. People from the company are giving me trouble every day, it's driving me crazy."

Black Tower waved his hand at the crowd, as if to shoo them away.

Seeing this, Zhou Xingxing didn't linger and led everyone away from the Black Tower's office.

"Ah, having only a soul is such a hassle; I can't even drink when I want to."

As she walked out of the office, Himeko sighed.

"Sister, drink less, it's bad for your health."

Qiong offered kind words of advice.

Do you think doing this will harm my body?

Himeko chuckled and said to Sora.

"That's true... you don't even have a body."

Qiong scratched his head, realizing he had forgotten about Himeko's drinking spree at the Cat Tail Tavern.

Stephen Chow suddenly raised an eyebrow, as if he had remembered something.

He reached into his backpack and a golden fruit appeared in his hand.

Tingyun was taken aback when he saw the Undying God, and then his expression changed.

"My benefactor... could it be you...?"

Tingyun looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Miss Tingyun, I'd like to lend this body to Himeko for a while. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"
