Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 421 Lost Memories

At the moment of falling into the abyss.

Chen Ming's eyes were instantly filled with darkness.

He felt his consciousness become extremely blurred, as if everything in the world was far away from him.

This was a situation that had never happened since his psychic strength level reached level 5 and his mental strength was enough to support his long-term existence in the scarlet.

He was even completely unable to resist this situation.

Because he took the initiative to enter the abyss.

He must bear such consequences.

And he must do so, only in this way can he find a chance to fight back.

Just thinking that this was the ability of the Scarlet Heart that grew up with his ability as a template.

He found it a little difficult to understand, after all, he didn't have such power.

There was no time to think about anything else.

Chen Ming found that his state of consciousness was getting worse, and he was gradually unable to feel his consciousness.

It was as if everything that belonged to him was sinking into this abyss.

If this state and situation continued, he would lose consciousness in a short time.

If he completely lost consciousness, there was no need to think about what the result would be.

Knowing that he didn't have much time, Chen Ming immediately struggled to wake up.

But the action of waking up was extremely difficult.

When he mobilized his mental power, it was like mobilizing it from glue, and a sticky feeling that was about to solidify was always around him.

This made Chen Ming feel not only difficult, but also painful.

He tried his best to use his mental power, but he could only crawl a little distance out of the glue.

His mental power was being consumed faster than when he formed a mental shield before.

This seemed to work.

Chen Ming continued to consume his mental power in this darkness, and the dawn of crawling out of the abyss was already in sight.

But as Chen Ming opened his eyes.

He found himself suddenly sitting in the cockpit of a dilapidated spaceship.

Chen Ming would never forget this familiar structure in his life.

This was his first spaceship.

Iron Ore.

Chen Ming turned his eyes to look out the porthole of the Iron Ore, and the scene outside was different from what he thought it should be at this moment.

At this time, it was not pitch black outside the Iron Ore, but the green and purple vegetation environment of Raymu.

Chen Ming felt that he had woken up, but everything in front of him told him the opposite.

Either he was dreaming, or his memory was turned out by the Scarlet Heart.

Chen Ming had a clear understanding of his state.

Of course, he knew that what he experienced was definitely not a dream when he fell asleep on Raymu.

That situation was basically certain, especially at this time...

Some special clouds appeared in the sky outside the spacecraft.

Chen Ming used to not know what the appearance of such clouds on Raymu meant.

But now he knew that these clouds indicated that a rainstorm was coming.

Chen Ming was deeply impressed by this memory because he had only experienced a rainstorm once on Raymu.

He tried to get up and look around, but a feeling of extreme stiffness prevented him from doing so.

He could not control the body sitting on the Iron Ore at all, and could only watch himself sitting in the chair unable to move.

Only his eyes could move slightly.

No matter how hard he tried to use his mental power, he couldn't affect anything.

At this time, he couldn't even use his psychic power to control the Iron Ore or any metal objects at any level.

He didn't seem to belong here.

But, he could clearly feel that he was here.

All he could do was watch.

After a while, the body in Chen Ming's view suddenly moved.

He took a look at yesterday's log.

He fed the little stone on the ship.

He took care of the crops outside.

He took the pistol and the little stone and left the spacecraft to go hunting.

This was no different from what happened in Chen Ming's memory, as if he had really returned to the past and personally experienced the past memories.

This identical scene made Chen Ming somewhat immersed in it.

But he also kept telling himself that all this was false.

The body went out to look for possible traces of prey according to the previous memory.

He squatted on a tree near where the traces were found.

Everything was very calm, and the body squatted until it started to rain lightly in the sky.

Chen Ming, who was almost drowsy because of the boring hunting process, suddenly woke up.

"Here it comes."

The Scarlet Heart must have had some purpose in bringing him to this place.

And what happened before was no different from what he remembered.

The only change should be after this.

The rain gradually got heavier.

A group of cattle beasts foraging in the river appeared in Chen Ming's perspective.

He raised his gun and aimed at the cattle beasts.

But at this moment, an unprecedented tingling sensation broke out in Chen Ming's mind.

His mind instantly fell into a painful confusion.

But then Chen Ming recovered from the confusion.

Although this made him feel the pain more clearly, it also allowed him to stay awake.

Chen Ming remembered that at this time before, the mechanical mind pulse generator left on Raymu did work.

But at that time, the mental pulse only affected some animals, and the impact on humans was not that great.

This is change.

This is what the Scarlet Heart is doing.

Chen Ming endured the pain and felt more clearly the difference between the memory and what was happening at the moment.

His body covered his head in pain at this time.

In the memory, Xiao Shi screamed and rolled from Chen Ming's body to the ground, and soon there was no sound.

Chen Ming knew that it was a memory now, so he just watched everything that happened indifferently, suppressing the pain in his mind.

At this moment, the sound of the surging river came to his ears amid the sound of heavy rain.

It was the bull beast in the river that fell into a violent attack and rushed towards him.

Chen Ming's body turned around and ran, but was immediately knocked to the ground by the crazy bull beast.

While rolling on the ground, he clearly saw the scene of the small stone on the ground being crushed by the bull beast.

Chen Ming's heart tightened.

Even if it was just a fake, he definitely didn't want to see this scene happen.

Then, the thick hoof stained with blood and flesh trampled on Chen Ming's body.

The pain of being crushed by the bull beast was unreserved, and even more intensely transmitted to Chen Ming's consciousness.

This pain was more severe than any physical pain Chen Ming had ever experienced.

But Chen Ming had experienced more than just Rui Muxing.

The real pain he had experienced was a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than the pain at this moment.

Chen Ming almost instantly became firm.

But at the moment when the head of his body was crushed by the bull beast.

His eyes blurred.

The bull beast, the rainstorm, and Rui Muxing all disappeared.

In front of him was a more familiar place.

Yuhui Underground Laboratory.

Blood and flesh covered every inch of the corridor leading to the laboratory.

Chen Ming stood at the end of the corridor, in front of the door of the laboratory.

This was where he first encountered the distorted heart.

When he came here, Chen Ming suddenly forgot what he was doing just now for some reason.

And he was immediately attracted by the things in front of him.

Several thick flesh tentacles stretched out from the gap of the laboratory door and whipped him.

There was no time to think about what was going on.

His body was whipped by the tentacles to the flesh wall next to him, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, Chen Ming also found that he could finally move.

Although he was a little confused at this time why he had the feeling of "finally".

But the most urgent thing at the moment was to find a way to avoid these tentacles that seemed to be in his memory.

He rolled to avoid the subsequent tentacles that whipped him, and habitually called on spiritual energy while a piece of blood was raised on the wall hit by the tentacles.

He wanted to directly crush these tentacles that seemed to be extremely weak in his eyes with metal liquid.

But he failed to do so.

There was only a flamethrower in his hand.

Chen Ming was stunned, but he still used the flamethrower to deal with several tentacles and the flesh and blood tissues blocking the outside of the laboratory.

He was just about to stay where he was and think about what state he was in now.

But the door of the laboratory suddenly opened completely, and a terrifying suction came from the door, sucking him in.

After passing through most of the laboratory's structures, Chen Ming came to the deepest part of the laboratory and saw the distorted heart in the dark.

The heart began to beat.

Chen Ming's chest felt incomparable pain again.

This pain made his body have an uncontrollable instinctive reaction.

He curled up on the ground, unable to move.

Several blood vessel-like tentacles grew from the flesh and blood, entangled around Chen Ming's body, and restricted him in place.

The body that had just recovered from the beating of the distorted heart had no time to move, and the heart beat again.

Chen Ming felt that something in his chest had cracked, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of turbid blood.

The distorted heart beat again.

This time his body spit out a large pool of blood mixed with organ fragments.

The body fell completely.

But Chen Ming's consciousness was still clear.

He could clearly feel that his heart was shattered.

His body was torn into pieces by the tentacles of the Scarlet Heart, and even his spiritual nerves were pulled out.

This pain was more painful than being crushed by the bull beast before.

But Chen Ming didn't care about the physical pain at this moment.

Again, he had experienced more painful situations than this.

He just felt something was wrong.

He felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Some things that were painful, but after the pain, there was also the joy of surviving a disaster.

These things were obviously very recent...

But...

He couldn't remember them.

Before he had time to think deeply.

Chen Ming's eyes blurred again, and he suddenly appeared in Yuhui's territory.

The laboratory that Yuhui set up specifically for him to conduct research and also to restrict him.

Chen Ming once again felt a sense of emptiness of losing something.

At the same time, he once again felt the familiar feeling that he was in his memory.

This is his memory...

This... is also his memory.

And at this time, the 14th Legion was ready to rescue him.

His front foot was extracted by Yuhui to enlighten his spiritual nerves, and his back foot was suddenly stabbed in the back by one of his own people after he had clearly discussed it with Bai Quan.

Now he has to go through it again, and the result will definitely not be any better.

But to be honest, if Chen Ming hadn't clearly realized that this was his memory, then he might have been in pain because of such a situation.

But he knew that this was a spiritual space created by the Scarlet Heart.

Even though his mind was suffering from both physical and spiritual suffering at the same time, he was still experiencing the torture of death over and over again.

But in the end, it couldn't defeat him completely.

He persisted.

So what if his mental power was tortured? Although he was in the abyss, he still couldn't clearly realize what he had lost because of the Scarlet Heart.

But he could clearly feel that his consciousness and mental state were weakening.

He doesn't need to think about what he has lost, all he has to do is be firm in his thoughts.

If only he could find a way to kill Scarlet Heart, all that would be history.

Although Chen Ming had no obvious feelings, he was constantly experiencing everything in the past.

Experiencing his memories and losing them again.

Starting from the memories before entering Scarlet this time, the memories belonging to Chen Ming are being gradually erased.

This is suppression at the spiritual level, and this is the ability given to the Scarlet Heart by the Scarlet Power.

The Scarlet Heart is undoubtedly the most powerful creature in the entire Scarlet Dimension.

The closer Chen Ming's memories are to the real time, the faster they disappear under the influence of its power.

Because these memories have not yet had time to leave the deepest impression on Chen Ming.

Until... Memories related to Scarlet Heart.

Scarlet Heart did not touch these memories immediately.

Because at this moment, Chen Ming has regarded this memory as a lost weathervane when remembering in the urban area.

Once Scarlet Heart tries to erase this memory, Chen Ming will definitely be stimulated to take back everything lost from it.

So Scarlet Heart did not continue to do this, but began to slowly clear the past memories.

Those memories, although forgotten in superficial memory, actually constitute a person's basic cognitive view of the world.

Chen Ming has an extremely clear understanding of himself, and the disappearance of these memories will cause some changes in his personality.

It was these changes that made Chen Ming finally realize what happened for a moment.

Chen Ming finally realized what happened.

His mental power immediately protected himself, but it could not prevent this from happening.

The power of the Scarlet Heart is almost the same as his. When facing the Scarlet Heart, whose psychic power is more powerful, the power of the same origin is almost the last straw that breaks his heart.

Chen Ming felt more unwillingness and pain in his heart.

He wanted to ask a question.

Why?

Why did he have the strength he has today after struggling all the way?

But Scarlet Heart can rely on him to create something from scratch, and even become more powerful than him?

Chen Ming's memory is becoming more and more blurred.

But his obsession became clearer.

At this moment, Chen Ming felt that his body seemed to have changed.

He became Scarlet Heart.

But not the one he faced.

Instead, it is a scarlet heart that is only the size of a normal human heart.

Weak and helpless.

Just like what the brainwashed psyker said, when someone masters the power of scarlet.

Among the scarlet, a scarlet life will be born that resonates with the human being who has the power of scarlet.

And because of this situation, there are more than one scarlet beings born.

At this time, Chen Ming became the scarlet heart, and became a small one among the countless scarlet hearts floating in the scarlet.

The relationship between countless scarlet hearts is not friendly.

When a certain point in time arrives, all Scarlet Hearts begin to fight each other.

Countless scarlet hearts sprouted countless twisted organs, constantly biting and devouring other hearts.

Of course, this one also includes Chen Ming.

Chen Ming's scarlet heart was swallowed up after only three minutes in Chen Ming's body.

But it's not completely dead yet.

Even if it is swallowed up, with only a ray of consciousness left, it can rely on this ray of consciousness to regain the body of the Scarlet Heart, and continue its actions of devouring everything with its new, more powerful body.

When Chen Ming used Scarlet's power, Scarlet was also using Chen Ming's power.

The scarlet heart that distributes the power of Chen Ming equally to every existence.

Let the scarlet hearts devour each other and evolve.

Until the most powerful one.

Once the Scarlet Hearts devour each other until the number is insufficient, the Scarlet Dimension will continue to use Chen Ming's power to create more and more powerful Scarlet Hearts and continue to fight.

Scarlet Hearts do not have a very obvious human-like consciousness, and they do not feel pain due to such killings.

It was just Chen Ming's unwillingness that seemed to allow Scarlet Heart to find the possibility of breaking through Chen Ming's defenses.

That's why this memory belonging to it was stuffed into Chen Ming's mind.

Chen Ming's consciousness is following Scarlet Heart to experience everything in Scarlet Heart, and he is suffering everything that Scarlet Heart has ever suffered.

These extremely cruel scenes are nothing to the creatures in scarlet.

But for the creatures of Scarlet Heart, such pain is absolutely unbearable.

This is truly more painful than what Chen Ming has experienced.

And in this process, Chen Ming's memory is no longer simply disappearing.

The memory of Scarlet Heart is replacing Chen Ming's memory.

The Scarlet Heart is assimilating him.

And he... seems to be unable to do anything and can only watch all this happen.

His memories are being replaced again, and his personality is being erased.

Chen Ming can feel that he is close to the edge of death.

The sense of danger in his mind is still insisting on stinging his consciousness until now.

Chen Ming is clear about his situation, and he is thinking whether he has really fallen into a situation where he is completely powerless to resist.

Just before he really made this judgment.

In his consciousness, all memories after March 12, 5601 AD were completely erased.

Only the memory related to Scarlet Heart and the instinct for survival that Chen Ming forced himself to engrave on himself were left.

Chen Ming's instinct was not triggered here.

Because when those memories disappeared, Chen Ming's cognition was completely split.

This split gave his mental power almost infinite stimulation.

Because he lost all his memories after he came to this world.

March 12, 5601 AD was the day he really came to this world.

He was a time traveler.

Chen Ming's consciousness was stimulated to the extreme by these five words at this moment, and his consciousness was instantly clear.

All memories were restored at this moment.

He wanted to open his eyes, but found that his consciousness was rooted in this abyss.

He immediately separated a small piece of self-consciousness and directly abandoned it as bait.

Just like what the brainwashed psychic did before.

He used this small piece of consciousness as bait to guide the Scarlet Heart to devour and assimilate.

In this way, the most important part of his consciousness was out of this abyss.

Chen Ming opened his eyes instantly.

He found that he was floating in the abyss of the heart crack at this time.

The abyss on the heart was not completely dark.

Countless blood-colored crystals were scattered on the edge, illuminating the abyss.

At this moment, the flesh and blood tissue extending from the heart was wrapping him inside.

It made him look like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, or like prey trapped in a spider web.

A part of the flesh and blood tissue of the Scarlet Heart had already assimilated with his consciousness.

But everything was still in time.

Chen Ming's mental power became active again.

His consciousness tore the flesh and blood tissue that wrapped him.

Some of the flesh and blood connected to the consciousness body just entered Chen Ming's consciousness body.

But Chen Ming did not stop it, and his body was more intensely bursting with the power of scarlet.

The scarlet dimension is said to be the home of scarlet creatures.

But doesn't he also control the scarlet power?

This should also be his home, and it must be his home.

Chen Ming suddenly felt something in his heart, as if he was saying to the Scarlet Heart, and also to himself: "You are just a copy of my power."

"I am the real Chen Ming."

"I am the real scarlet!"
