But Nymph knew clearly that her memories had indeed been affected.

Although it would be difficult for others to notice this anomaly.

However, for Violet, with whom Lu Ye shared the deepest bond, and for himself, an artificial angel with exceptional computational abilities, the overwhelming sense of unease brought about by that bizarre moment was etched into his memory and would never be erased.

"Something's wrong with Lu Ye... We have to find out."

Nymph turned on the computer she had made and her fingers flew across the keyboard.

…………

In the blink of an eye, the scenery before my eyes suddenly changed.

The winter with light snow falling outside the window is gone.

The bright sunshine shone on the coast, and the blue sea shimmered. Every now and then, a few white sails drifted by. The beach was mostly filled with foreigners wearing swimsuits. Towels, parasols, snorkeling sticks, and all kinds of swimsuits were dazzling. There were also vendors selling chilled juice and hot dogs.

"A parallel world similar to the main world?" Lu Ye realized.

He looked back and saw that behind the road on the beach was an area of ​​buildings, full of rich Baroque style and a vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere.

Lu Ye was somewhat doubtful. Could it be that he had come to some country in Europe?

Lu Ye opened the panel.

Name: Lu Ye

Lu Ye glanced at his situation briefly, then immediately activated the "Contact Administrator" function.

He needs to know exactly what happened during the teleportation.

The moment the call connected, a soft sigh came from the other end.

"As the saying goes in the underworld, what goes around comes around. Well, this day will come eventually... I'm prepared to die a glorious death..."

"Stop being so cheeky. Do you even know what's wrong with my health?" Lu Ye got straight to the point.

Judging from the other party's tone, they didn't seem very surprised. It seemed they knew something and didn't intend to hide it.

What Lu Ye found strange and amusing was that even he didn't have any particular emotion towards Xiao Bai's reaction. It was as ordinary as asking "Have you eaten?" and the other person answering "Yes."

"You already have a vague suspicion in your heart, don't you? Although the New Year is very lively, it still feels a bit strange without the company of certain people, right?" Xiaobai said. "If you want to find the answer, then let's talk face to face after this is over. But what I said before was not a lie. It would be best if you were willing to use your abilities less, but there's nothing that can be done about it... Sometimes, even the protagonists in comics and novels have to unleash their full power to defeat their opponents."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ye nodded: "Okay."

“Well then, I’ll get straight to the information,” Xiaobai said. “The fragment is probably located in Egypt, but the reaction is very weak.”

"Very weak? Could you be more precise about the location?"

"Egypt, Cairo. But before it could be located as accurately as before, the fragment's reaction disappeared."

"How could this be?" Lu Ye looked at the surrounding environment and the pedestrians coming and going. "This doesn't look like Egypt at all! In just the time I've been standing here, I've already learned some Italian!"

"Anyway, don't rush. As I said, the fragments will exert their influence in some form, perhaps a one-time effect, or perhaps a continuous effect..." Xiaobai said, "And each person has a limited number of times they can use the fragments. If the energy contained in the fragments disappears and the holder goes into hiding, it will be much more difficult to pinpoint the location. It's not that I'm being lazy or not trying hard enough."

"One-time use? Continuous use?" Lu Ye said, "Protoss fragments are divided into these kinds?"

"Yes, think about it carefully and classify them according to the fragments of utility you encounter."

"So, according to you, the Colonel's mobile armor in Leiden, Violet's fragments, and the Synapse fragments above Soramei Town are all one-time effects? While the fragments from the Golden Tree and Marika's previous acquisitions are all continuous effects?"

That's about it.

"Then why am I in Italy? And which part of Italy is this?"

“Naples, Italy, is a great tourist destination. Although we haven't been able to pinpoint the location of the fragment, there are ways to find it,” Xiaobai said. “Remember the fragment you recovered before that could see ‘destiny’?”

"Could it be that you used that power... and finally detected the area where the fragments would end up?" Lu Ye said. "Then I can just wait and see."

"Are you stupid? If it were that easy, would you still have 'vacation' time?" Xiaobai's voice was somewhat helpless. "Listen carefully, some worlds have a strong sense of destiny. Where a person will be born, who they will meet, and how they will die are all predetermined. However, the Protoss are never bound by fate, and so are the fragments that shatter and circulate in various worlds."

"Unbound by...fate?"

"Yes, changing certain things that are already set in stone, and not being bound by fate, is one of the privileges of the Protoss. Therefore, the ability of that fragment cannot be used to find out the whereabouts of other fragments."

“Okay, so you still haven’t told me why I’m in Naples,” Lu Ye said.

"It is precisely because we are not affected by fate that we can make use of it." Xiao Bai chuckled. "Just you wait and see."

After saying that, Xiaobai hung up the call.

Is it precisely because we are not affected by fate that we can make use of it?

Fragments are not bound by fate; on the contrary, they can influence fate.

Lu Ye felt that Xiao Bai probably meant this.

As he walked, he pondered his next move.

In short, first find out your exact location, contact Violet and the others, and then consider going to Egypt...

As Lu Ye was walking, he suddenly felt someone following him.

Are you following me?

Aside from robbery or pickpocketing, Lu Ye couldn't think of anyone following him.

He smiled to himself; this was perfect, he'd been worried about not having any money in his pocket.

Lu Ye walked into the alley, and sure enough, the other person followed.

He turned several corners, but the other party did not give up. It was clear that they did not intend to give up on Lu Ye, this little fat sheep from out of town. After all, how could a foreign tourist like this not have some money on him?

Lu Ye quickened his pace at a leisurely pace and passed the corner of the alley.

Seeing that the fat sheep had escaped, the people behind them sped up and caught up.

However, just as he was about to turn the corner of the alley, a fist suddenly came out from around the corner and punched the pursuer in the nose.

Before the stalker could even cry out in pain, he was struck in the throat with a karate chop, leaving him speechless with the agony.

Lu Ye grabbed the stalker's arms and slammed him against the wall, saying sarcastically, "Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't have any money on me. Even if you strip me, it won't help."

He could see the profile of the stalker clearly; he was a thin, sickly-looking man with slightly red eyes.

Lu Ye looked down and noticed the man's unusual behavior.

The man's wrists had unusual red spots and numerous needle marks. Having experienced several anti-drug campaigns by the police on campus, Lu Ye immediately recognized him as a drug addict.

"You bastard! Let me go!" the addict cried out hoarsely.

"Am I your father? You think you can just agree to anything?"

Lu Ye was already in a bad mood when a drug addict yelled at him like that, so he grabbed the addict's head and slammed it against the wall.

"You don't actually think... you can just walk away after coming to our territory, do you?" The drug addict's mouth was full of blood, but he still laughed. "You're going to die right here, and nobody's going to collect your body because we'll chop you up and feed your corpse to the dogs, you bastard!"

Just then, Lu Ye heard footsteps.

It came from all four directions of the alley that a group of people carrying baseball bats and knives were approaching him.

He was surrounded.

Even the most beautiful cities have their shady side, and these alleyways are always hiding places of filth and dirt.

“Kid, I’ll give you a chance. Put down your belongings and three fingers, kneel down and kowtow to my brother a hundred times, and you can leave.”

Lu Ye didn't speak, but bent his right hand and placed his left hand in the crook of his elbow.

This is a specific gesture in Italy that represents insult, or "tsk ni ma."

Upon seeing this, the other side immediately lost their composure and grabbed their weapon, swinging it at him.

Why are you so arrogant all by yourself?

But why would Lu Ye be afraid of these people?

He assumed a fighting stance, unleashing the Senpou Temple Fist Technique. The bodies of these guys flew around the alley like rag dolls, and the alley was filled with the sounds of bones breaking and groans of agony.

In no time, all twenty-odd people were lying face down on the ground.

Lu Ye shook his hands, preparing to count the spoils one by one.

However, at that moment, Lu Ye raised his head alertly. The crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the stone ground came from the front of the alley. Someone was walking towards them unhurriedly.

After passing through the shadows beneath an obstacle, Lu Ye finally saw the face of the person who had approached him, and the person greeted him first.

"How are you? Naples is a beautiful place. There's a local saying that goes, 'If you visit Naples in the morning, you can die content in the evening.' Don't you think it's a waste to spend your time on these people when you've come all this way?"

It turned out to be a man around his age, handsome, but with a rather peculiar sense of style. His black suit had a heart-shaped design on the chest, and his long blond hair was styled in a rather intriguing way. It looked fine from the side or back, but from the front…

Who would balance three donuts on their head?

"No waste, and I can earn some extra money on the side."

In response to the greeting, Lu Ye replied in fluent Italian.

This surprised the other party.

"It's amazing that you speak Italian so fluently, even though you're Asian."

"By the way, is there something you need?" Lu Ye asked.

"Oh, my apologies. It's like this, could you hand over the person you have to me?"

"Give it to you?" Lu Ye asked, tilting his head. "Are you a policeman? Or his accomplice?"

As he spoke, Lu Ye's muscles were taut all over.

Because the man in front of them was actually not an easy opponent.
