Chapter 2948 The morning that will never return (twenty-three)
At the same time (?), Mutt also climbed to the third floor of the Guardian Tower.
"It's so miserable." Although he had seen the tragic battlefield left behind when Albert and the hunter masters fought along the way, what he saw in front of him was obviously worse than the first two floors. There were swords and weapons all over the floor, among which
Some sword blades have been broken, while others are still standing on the ground, maintaining a certain pattern. There are still many holes left by weapons on the battlefield ground, but there is only one hole left. The weapons have been pulled out. Look
It seemed that Albert had raided it and kept it for his own use.
Not far away is the body of the weapons master [Klibov of Ten Thousand Blades]. Naturally, he was killed by Albert. The death was quite horrific. Mutt knew that this Klibov should be an artificial man.
Replica, it was understandable for Albert to commit such a serious murder; but he still felt uncomfortable seeing Klibov's body in such a miserable state of death.
"Stupid tiger." The cat-man boy muttered in a low voice and continued walking upward.
Before climbing to the fourth floor, Mutt smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Yes, a large number of explosives were ignited on the battlefield, creating a series of explosions. So even so long after the battle, the original strong smell of gunpowder smoke has not dissipated. The series of explosions that Mutt heard outside the tower before
The explosion probably happened on the fourth floor. The person fighting Albert on this floor was, of course, the master of blasting [Deidara of Ashes].
As soon as Mut climbed up to the fourth floor, he immediately saw the mines all around him. There seemed to be someone's body lying in the distance. It was white, but had no tiger stripes, and was extremely large. It should be the Elephant Man. Mu Te
Te was relieved and wanted to find a way to cross the formation first. Although he was told not to use the sword anymore, he still wielded the crystal stabbing sword to open a path on the ground, creating a strong path that allowed him to pass safely.
straight path made of crystals.
In this way, although there may be ground mines buried under the crystal road, the crystal is so strong that it disperses Mutt's weight along the plane. Even if the cat boy walks on the ground mines, it will not detonate.
, can pass through the ** array safely.
He walked over carefully without triggering the gun along the way. When he passed completely and walked in front of the white elephant Deidara, Mutt breathed a sigh of relief again. He should be very close to Albert, and the stupid tiger was probably
Have you reached the fifth floor?
You can see him soon——
No, we have seen it now.
Albert appeared in front of Mutt without warning and looked at Mutt in confusion.
Mutt also looked at Albert who suddenly appeared in front of him with a confused look on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Albert asked.
"I just wanted to ask you, what are you doing here?" Mutt asked back: "Shouldn't you be on the floor above? Suddenly you teleported back?"
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about? I just defeated Deidara, and now I plan to climb upstairs?" Albert showed a strange expression.
"No, Deidara must have been dead for a long time. I just crossed the ground over there. When the thunder array came here, Deidara's body was lying all the way." Mutt said, "If you don't believe it, go talk to him."
Body temperature, he should be completely cool."
Albert took a look at the body of White Elephant Deidara. In fact, there was no need to check the body temperature. When the explosion master Deidara died, there was a piece of fresh blood on the ground, but now the fresh blood was already half dry.
In a wet state, most of it was condensed. Albert was not an autopsy expert, but he could tell that Deidara had been dead for at least half an hour.
"How strange..." He held his chin and thought, "I was indeed the Deidara I just killed, and I was just about to climb up to the next floor... and then you suddenly appeared in front of me."
"It was you who flashed in front of me, idiot." Mutt said dissatisfiedly: "I followed your footsteps, and I must be one step later than you."
"So this is very strange..." Albert was puzzled: "I always feel like I have forgotten something important..."
"Stop talking nonsense, you are planning to climb this guardian tower and find some important clues, aren't you?" Mutt urged: "This matter is almost over, let's go upstairs."
"No, you wait here." Albert said: "If you didn't lie, there might be something weird happening upstairs. You watch all this here, and then tell me what you see."
I."
"ha?"
"Anyway, just do as I say." Albert hummed and walked upstairs.
"Tsk..." The cat boy originally wanted to refuse, but the current situation was really too weird, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only listen to Albert's words for the time being.
The young tiger man climbed the stairs cautiously but quickly. After about three minutes, Mutt became a little impatient with the wait. It was quiet upstairs. Logically speaking, Albert should be with the people guarding the stairs upstairs.
When people are fighting, there should be the sound of fierce swords clashing, or the sound of explosions. But Mutt couldn't hear all this. He could only vaguely hear the sound of someone talking, but what he said was unclear.
Can't hear clearly (after all, it's one floor away).
Whoosh.
Then, Albert suddenly appeared in front of Mutt, looking at the cat-man boy in confusion.
"What are you doing here, meow?" Albert repeated the question he asked before, as if this was the first time he saw the cat boy here.
"No, what are you doing here?" Mutt asked, "Didn't you climb to the upper floor just now? Why did you come back again? The opponent above is too scary. Did you escape before the battle?"
"How could I turn back? I just defeated Deidara, the master of blasting, and I was planning to go to the upper level." Albert replied.
"You're crazy..." Mutt pointed at Deidara: "Didn't I just tell you that Deidara has been dead for a long time?"
Albert turned to look at Deidara's body and once again confirmed the time of Deidara's death. Judging from the almost dried blood, Deidara had been dead for at least half an hour.
"How strange..." He held his chin again and thought: "I was indeed the Deidara who had just been killed, and I was about to climb up to the next floor... and then you suddenly appeared in front of me.
"
"You've said this for the second time, idiot." Mutt said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you even remember what you said to me?!"
Albert showed a blank expression, obviously he really didn't remember.
"It seems that the guy upstairs did something to you, teleported you back to this floor, and made you lose your memory." Mutt said: "Is there any other reason besides this?"
"Is this kind of thing really possible?" Albert didn't believe in evil: "You know, everyone has their own [Absolute Domain] protection, and it's impossible for that cat to be simply affected by other people's spells. You
Are you suggesting that that guy penetrated my [Absolute Domain] in some way, forced me to teleport back, and erased all my memories after going upstairs?"
"No, it's more like the memory before going upstairs has also been washed away, because you had already seen me when you went upstairs, but when you came back in a flash, it seemed as if you had never seen me before." Mutt said: "
Your memory only lasts until the moment you just killed Deidara. The memory after that may not always be in the [brainwashing cycle]."
"Unbelievable." Albert opened his mouth in a daze.
"So... what are you going to do?" Mutt asked: "If you run upstairs again, it will just be an endless [brainwashing cycle]. You will be sent back all the time, and you will never be able to break through the guy at the top."
"Hmph..." Albert rubbed his chin and thought, then suddenly took out his Storm Blade and fired a shot at the window on the side.
The glass of the window was not strong and was easily shattered by large-caliber steel ball projectiles.
"If you can't climb the stairs, why can't I just fly up? The guys upstairs underestimate me." He said, spreading his wings and flying out.
"Then you should have flown directly to the top of the Guardian Tower from the beginning, idiot..." Mutt complained.
However, Albert had just flown out of the window, and before he even flew far, his body disappeared out of thin air. Then he flashed in front of the cat boy again and looked at Mutt blankly: "What are you doing here?"
What meow?"
"Oh, no, it's looping again..." Mutt covered his head: "As expected, it still doesn't work..."
"I'm asking you, what are you doing here, you little fool!" Albert said angrily when he saw Mutt's inappropriate answer.
"I came to find you." Mutt said: "Then I found that you were stuck on this floor and were sent back all the time. You appeared in front of me three times."
"What the hell, I just——"
"Before you say that, look at Deidara over there. He has been dead for at least half an hour." Mutt pointed to the body of the White Elephant Man beside him. The blood on the ground had dried.
"Hmm..."
"The guy upstairs has been using some means to send you back, and erased your memory of climbing the stairs. Every time you are sent back, your memory will be restored to the moment when you just killed Deidara." Mutt
The analysis said: "In addition, you also tried flying out of the window and climbing directly to the top of the tower, but you also failed and were sent back. The other party probably thought that you would do that, so they blocked all cheating from the beginning.
The means force you to face him head-on."
"Interesting." Albert thought for a while: "No matter how ridiculous it is, what you said is probably true."
He had already noticed the broken window and the already cold Deidara on the ground.
"In that case... let's try other methods." He created a clone and let the clone go upstairs, while he stood beside Mutt and waited.
"Will this be useful?" the cat boy expressed doubt.
"Anyway, let's see what the clone can do first." Albert said, waiting patiently.
His clone quickly ran up the stairs to the upper floor. Not long after that, the clone suddenly flashed in front of Albert (his original self) and Mutt, looking at the cat-man boy in confusion: "...you are here.
What are you doing?"
"Oh, damn..." Mutt was tired of explaining. He covered his forehead and didn't want to talk to Albert's clone.
"Okay, you can disappear." Albert said, dispelling the clone.
Then he turned to look at Mutt: "It's very interesting. That clone didn't carry any memory. The moment it came back, it was the memory state of the moment it just set off."
Normally, when the clone created by Albert using the clone technique, the damage suffered by the clone will be fully returned to the original body at the moment the clone is released. The "memory" in the human brain is actually a kind of damage.
Only by "carving" memory traces in the cerebral cortex through some chemical or physical means can a person remember something. Therefore, Albert's clone will damage these "memories" the moment it is released.
"Return to the original body, so that the original body can also remember the experience experienced by the clone.
He can create countless clones, and everything experienced by these clones will become the memory of Albert's original self, and when the clones are released, they will flow into his mind.
Interestingly, the clone that Albert had just created had no or almost no memory after that. The clone's memory stayed at the moment before climbing the stairs.
"But you still remember me." Mutt said.
"Yes, because the one who broke into the upstairs was just a clone." Albert said: "It seems that he was also hit by a certain enemy's spell and was sent back and brainwashed. This effect had no effect on my true self.
.My memory was not reset back to the moment when I just killed Deidara, but it continued."
"But if it's your true self who goes upstairs..."
"Then my memory will be reset back to the moment I just killed Deidara." Albert replied: "Let the subject [wash.brain cycle] in the endless time maze, forever
It’s not a [real] meow. It’s a terrible spell."
"So what are you going to do? Give up the challenge? Go home?" Mutter asked.
"No." Albert said, "I have thought of a way to crack it."
