He felt that the memory was getting stronger and stronger, like a broken vintage wine, and just smelling it was intoxicating.
It was only then that Spah realized he had acted impulsively.
This guy... might not be the Fool himself, but rather his meme. In other words, the Fool was here.
Spall moved his head, trying to find more clues. After a short while, he bent down and found a series of footprints on the ground.
The footprints were crooked and the shoes were wide enough; with just one glance, Spah recognized them as men's footprints.
Strangely, however, the footprints did not resemble those of the Fool, nor those of Sambo. As travelers on a path of destiny, their footprints were far shallower than those of ordinary people.
Common sense tells us that the footprints are more like those of an ordinary adult, and the person is unwell, walking unsteadily and with a wobbly gait.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people are deliberately creating a false impression.
Spall rolled his eyes, then hesitated.
He sensed Sambo's presence from the side road next door, but he couldn't ignore the footprints in front of him.
Dada! Dada!
Liu Ying and her companion caught up with them.
"Forget it, only a fool would give up on a new lead!"
Spa gritted his teeth, followed the footprints, and plunged into a side path. The two girls followed closely behind.
The road was long, branching off in several directions, yet the footprints continued uninterrupted from beginning to end. At least, that was certainly the case in Spa's eyes.
But Lingke saw it differently.
She saw footprints on the ground, scattered here and there, some of which were even covered by ice and snow and were not clearly visible.
Ling asked herself, if it were her, she would have to study it for a long time before determining the correct course of action.
But Sparrow didn't stop at all to check the footprints.
Along the way, Lingke was surprised to find that Spa not only did not lose track of the footprints, but ran faster and faster and walked more and more smoothly.
Those extraterrestrials are too amazing!
Before long, the three arrived at an open space.
Spa looked around and saw that the rock walls above were covered with icicles, and the icy ground was smooth as a mirror, untouched by snow, reflecting their faces.
What surprised Spah even more was that the light in the open space was as bright as day, allowing him to see his surroundings clearly without using his Destiny Power.
Thump! Bang! Clang!
Spall heard a grinding sound.
He shifted his gaze toward the source of the sound and saw a blue-haired man in red clothes, who was straightening up and slowly crushing the pills into powder before pouring them into a petri dish.
Crunch! Crunch crunch!
The man continued to grind his teeth. Through the ice, Spa could see that most of his face was covered in crystals, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The footprints stopped abruptly at the man's feet.
Judging from the footprints... it's him!
He left notes; he was also the one who conducted human experiments.
Knowing the truth, Spaden had little interest and wanted to turn around and leave.
But then he thought that the other person might have encountered the fool, so he took a step forward.
He had only taken half a step when the man turned around.
"Hello, my name is Vah, and I am Dr. Natasha's brother from the Lower City. It's nice to meet you."
Wah smiled, his lips parted to reveal snow-white teeth, and the blue crystal swayed with his movements.
He reached out his hand to Spa.
Spall was wary, but he still reached out his hand.
Suddenly, Vah's eyes gleamed, he grabbed Spa's wrist, opened his lips wide, and with a whoosh, bit down on Spa's neck.
Chapter 48 Please Forgive Me, Natasha
Fortunately, Spa had anticipated this and, before Vah could bite, he slid backward.
He took two steps back, not retaliating directly, but squinting to observe Wach's condition.
He saw Vach hunched over, licking his tongue, saliva dripping down the tip. A strong, ethereal aura emanated from Vach.
Could he be... a memory realm meme?
Memes possessing the memories of living people... such things are extremely rare throughout the entire universe.
Spall frowned slightly as he saw Vah stretch out his arms, staggering as he floated toward him like a zombie.
"I want to eat! I want to eat... You're so delicious, let me nibble on you, hehe! Hehehehehe!"
Saliva flowed more and more. As Vah drew closer, Spah felt the memory within him flowing out little by little, like milking a cow.
We can't afford any unnecessary complications! We'll take him down in one fell swoop!
Spare pondered for a moment, then pulled out his charging gun, lightly touched the trigger with his fingertip, and golden light condensed at the muzzle as he aimed it at Vah.
Ignoring the golden light, Vah pressed towards Spa.
Pfft!
Wah stopped and knelt down.
Spah saw that Vah's cheeks were covered in bulging veins, his hands were on his face, and his nails were scratching his face.
"Awooo! Awooo!"
Vah cried out repeatedly, his head shaking, his fists pounding the ground, his voice barely audible, squeezed out from between his teeth:
"No! You mustn't eat him! If you eat him, no one will help me deliver the letter... Stop!"
"Eat...eat...it smells so good!"
"Stop! Stop! I told you to stop!"
"..."
Wah roared and muttered to himself, clutching his own neck as if he were fighting himself.
Spah knew that the memory domain memes had an instinct to devour memory matter, but Vah's memories tried to suppress this impulse.
Now that things had come to this, Spah didn't rush to fire. Instead, he took two steps back and observed Vah's changes.
"Stop! Kill...kill, Xiang! Stop! Don't eat him..."
Wach moved more and more violently, even lying down and rolling around on the ground like a catfish, convulsing repeatedly, but his body was getting closer and closer to Spa.
Spall stared at Vach, seeing the bloodshot eyes in him, and, unable to bear it, raised his gun again, aiming it at Vach's head.
But Wach stopped.
He lay motionless on the ground.
Two seconds later, he suddenly sprang up from the ground, his face twitching, and walked towards Spa with a smile.
Spare was cautious, keeping a close eye on Vach. When he saw Vach put his hand in his pocket, he immediately pulled the trigger.
The gun barrel flashed with golden light, but before it could be fired at the other side, Spa saw Vah hand Spa an envelope.
Spall paused slightly, glancing at the envelope. He noticed that the outer layer of the envelope was already worn, with bits of paper clinging to its yellow surface.
“I… don’t have much time left. Oh no! I should already be dead. Please give this to my sister Natasha, please…”
Wach's fingers trembled, his voice barely audible. Though he shed no tears, in Spa's eyes, it seemed as if he were weeping.
Spall witnessed Wahl's red eyes, his emotions churning, a slight tightness in his chest, and he sighed softly as he took the envelope.
He stepped back a few paces and nodded to Wach:
"Letter! I will deliver it."
"Thanks……"
Wach smiled slightly.
Suddenly, his body split open.
Countless blue crystals surged from his body, like plants with added hormones, and in an instant, they engulfed Wahl's body.
Wach disappeared.
All that remained before Spah's eyes was a mass of blue crystals.
The crystal expanded like a balloon, and soon grew a structure resembling two arms, with icicles sprouting from its head.
Even more astonishingly, the crystal floated up like a ghost, looking down at Spa and the others from above.
"The Shadow of Eternal Winter... no! It's the Wanderer of the Deep Freeze. Usually, it takes a small squad to eliminate it."
Ling Ke, who usually doesn't show much emotion, suddenly changed her expression, gripped her ice axe tightly, and crouched down slightly like a cat.
"Oh, we need a squad... Looks like this is going to be a bit tricky."
As Spare said this, a slight smile played on his lips as he yawned and glanced at the loitering man with interest.
The wanderer stretched out his arms, and countless icicles rained down like raindrops.
Spah gently raised his hand, generating a shield.
The ice spike pierced the shield and shattered into ice shards in an instant, clattering and crashing as they fell to the ground.
But the remaining ice spikes swept past the shield, creating a gust of wind, and whistled as they pierced towards Ling Ke, reaching her in the blink of an eye.
Ling Ke squinted, holding her ice axe to her chest, and swung it around repeatedly.
However, she knew in her heart that her martial arts skills were only passable against ordinary shattered monsters like the Eternal Winter Disaster Shadow, and against the Wanderer, she couldn't even stop the first wave of attacks.
Am I... going to die? Oh well, so be it.
Ling Ke muttered to herself.
However, death did not come.
The icicles did indeed pierce her body. However, a golden light suddenly emanated from the girl, blocking them.
Ling Ke was slightly stunned. She shifted her gaze and saw that Spa turned his head and gave her a "V" sign.
Spare removed his shield and, taking advantage of the Wanderer's moment of charging up, took a step and, in the blink of an eye, rushed in front of the enemy.
He swung his fist and struck the loitering man on the head.
Bang!
The Wanderer of Deep Cold tilted its head, and its mountain-like body collapsed like a pile of blocks, crashing onto the icy ground.
Wow
As it fell to the ground, the Wanderer instantly shattered, its remaining energy turning into blue mist that slowly rose, with most of it surging towards Spa.
Spa opened his mouth, took a big gulp, and the strong memory substance slid down his throat, along his intestines, into his body, and spread to his limbs and bones.
Spah felt that his memory energy had recovered considerably.
Lingke witnessed all of this and was immediately stunned.
This this……
I knew Spa was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong.
Even my brother Jepard would have had to put in a lot of effort to deal with the Wanderer, yet he only needed one punch... just one punch...
Ling Ke blinked.
She suddenly realized that Belloberg might actually be saved.
Spas, unaware of what the girl was thinking, simply clapped his hands, took out the envelope again, and dusted off the surface.
Although he knew it was wrong to open the envelope without permission, he was still curious about the contents of the letter, so he quietly removed the stamp and took out the letter:
[...I still remember my speech when I first enrolled: I raised my arms and shouted on stage, advocating my ideal of developing wind and snow immunity.]
Looking back, I was incredibly foolish.
In my final days at medical school, I became increasingly stubborn and isolated...
