Chapter 20: The Consciousness Space Cannot be Edited, So it's Real

After entering the door, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly. The walls of the nearby martial arts hall rapidly decayed, transforming into a vast, boundless space.

It looked somewhat like... the Memorial Arena System?

"Are you ready to begin martial arts training?"

Another version of herself asked.

Luo Lin drew her twin guns, assuming a stance reminiscent of Kaslana's gun-fighting technique. "I'm ready!"

Although Fu Hua considered herself very open-minded about the concept of martial arts—whether Eastern or Western combat skills—bringing out two guns directly like Luo Lin seemed a bit...

As the countdown ended, the battle commenced in an instant!

"Bang bang bang!"

The figure clad in a blue training suit moved swiftly, evading a barrage of bullets. However, the grenades were left behind due to her speed. With explosions and fierce winds accompanying her, Fu Hua closed in on Luo Lin.

Lowering her body, palms facing upward, she struck Luo Lin's chin with considerable force.

The impact was so intense that even Fu Hua standing in the distance could hear the crisp sound of bones breaking.

Fu Hua couldn't help but gasp as she watched Luo Lin, who had clearly lost her combat effectiveness, being effortlessly beaten by another version of herself using fancy combat techniques, leaving her suspended mid-air, much like punching a sandbag.

She was well aware of the power of her own moves. The girl touched her chin and murmured, "It seems that this isn't the real world. In a normal sparring match, I'd hold back, or else I'd have killed someone by now..."

The tattered figure fell to the ground, dissipating into data particles in the air. Then, a completely unharmed Luo Lin appeared not far away, struggling to get up. "Let's go again!"

With her arms crossed, Fu Hua watched as Luo Lin continued to challenge her time and time again. The other self in the blue training suit looked fierce and sharp, mercilessly attacking Luo Lin. Her methods were ruthless and merciless, making Fu Hua feel a bit uncomfortable herself.

During this period, Luo Lin tried many methods, but she was basically easily dealt with by Fu Hua and then hung up to be beaten.

It wasn't until she performed a risky maneuver with a grenade, almost blowing herself up in the process, that she managed to barely win in the end, as the system seemed to judge that Luo Lin still had some life left.

While Luo Lin was reshaping herself, the **Fenghuang Down** in Fu Hua's hands glowed faintly, subtly influencing this memory segment in a clever way to 'possess' another version of herself to facilitate the upcoming questioning of Luo Lin.

The fully restored Luo Lin cheered and ran over. "Class Monitor, Class Monitor! How did I do?"

Actually, in most cases, praising and encouraging NPCs in the consciousness space would help invaders explore more memories faster.

But with Fu Hua's personality, she naturally wouldn't do such a thing. She criticized without hesitation, "You didn't do well. You were too impulsive, and you didn't grasp the essence of Kaslana's gun-fighting technique..."

"Uh-huh!!"

Under her gaze, Luo Lin somehow found a notebook and earnestly began taking notes on it.

Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her role-playing behavior completely matched Luo Lin's perception of her, and the next...

"Why did you suddenly want to spar with me today?"

Luo Lin stuck out her tongue. "Hehe, I just happen to run into class monitor?"

Run into?

Why did she use that word... Fu Hua shook her head and continued, "We've been practicing here for so long. Why don't we go out for a walk? Consider it a break."

"Uh, now that you mention it, it's true. We've been practicing for a long time, and my head is spinning."

Luo Lin tapped her head with the pen and put away the notebook.

Next, the surrounding scenery twisted and changed again, and the two found themselves at the old Sky Tower headquarters in Schicksal.

Fu Hua followed Luo Lin calmly, not surprised by the changing scenery, because most memories were generally discontinuous, and such jumps were quite normal.

"How do you feel living in Schicksal?"

"It's pretty good. The room they assigned me here is much more spacious than the one on the Sky Island!"

Fu Hua pondered for a few seconds and continued to probe, "What do you think of Schicksal?"

Luo Lin blinked and said, "It's great! We fight for a better tomorrow! I want to continue working until Theresa becomes the Archbishop!"

Does she have any objections to Otto?

Fu Hua stroked her chin and asked, "What do you think of Overseer Otto?"

"He's amazing! I looked up some information and think Otto is a great mastermind like no other in history!" When she said this, Luo Lin's eyes flashed with complex light. "I never thought someone could achieve this level... I admire him! But I don't want to be like him!"

Uh, is this praise or what?

Fu Hua was momentarily speechless and changed the subject, "By the way, you've already graduated, so why do you still call me class monitor?"

"Because the people I know call you that! So I call you class leader too. It feels friendly, doesn't it?"

Luo Lin seemed to have figured something out and said with a smile, "Besides, it's much smoother to call you class monitor than Fu Hua, and I don't think you're used to being called Jingwei, right? Or the Immortal? It feels weird..."

"How... how do you know...?"

Fu Hua stood in place, stunned, watching the figure gradually walking away.

"Shouldn't you have told me yourself?"

Luo Lin turned around, revealing a bright smile. "Well... because of my adventure? I even went to another parallel world, so I know about your past, class monitor... You've told me that many things have been completely forgotten, but many things have become your new memories..."

As she said this, Luo Lin's expression was quite complicated, not just sighing, but even somewhat relieved.

Parallel world?

Fu Hua held **Fenghuang Down** and asked,

"Do you mean that when you fought the Herrscher of the Void that day and fell into the spatial crack, you went to a parallel world?"

"Yes."

Luo Lin nodded, and around them, the sky over Schicksal gradually darkened, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the area.

A huge shadow passed over the two, it was Schicksal's floating warship. Because Fu Hua was underneath the warship, she couldn't see its full appearance and couldn't determine which Schicksal warship it was.

The floating warship slowly docked at a corner of Schicksal, and a group of people descended from the ship. They were dressed differently, obviously characters that left a deep impression on Luo Lin in this memory segment.

Among them was another Fu Hua, wearing clothes with a strong chinese style and holding a paper umbrella, solemnly surveying her surroundings.

As for the others, Fu Hua couldn't see their faces, but she could  recognize various weapons they were carrying,

Including sickles, pistols, and even cannons. Among them, the most striking was a petite figure carrying Judah on her back, whom Fu Hua immediately identified as Theresa.

"What's happening here? Why is Theresa piloting a warship back to Schicksal?" Perhaps due to the defense mechanism of the consciousness space, Luo Lin didn't answer Fu Hua's question. Instead, she gestured with her hands and continued, "By the way, class monitor, you once mentioned that you used to live in Schicksal a long time ago!"

"Yeah... that's indeed a long time ago."

"Come on, let me show you around," Luo Lin said, clapping her hands and smiling. "Maybe it'll trigger some memories for you?"

"You have quite a wandering mind, Luo Lin..." Fu Hua muttered, puckering her lips, before setting down the glittering Divine Key.

"...I'm not in a rush. At least, not for now."
