Collapse Iron: After transmigrating, he was exposed to the entire universe by the Last King.

Xing gave an awkward laugh, then cut straight to the point with Chadwick:

"We've come here to help you."

"Thank you for your kindness, child, but..."

But before Chadwick could finish speaking, Xing continued:

Do you remember Screw Gum?

Suddenly, Chadwick seemed to be struck by lightning, his pupils dilating to twice their normal size, but then quickly contracting again.

The gloom that had enveloped Chadwick began to dissipate, and everything about him began to become clear.

"Screw...screw......."

Chapter 127 is missing?

"Screw Gum...where is he? He promised me...he said he would help..."

Chadwick paused here, then seemed to remember something.

"No...that's not right. He did keep his promise; he didn't betray my trust. The one who disappeared was me...my ears and mouth were gagged, and my eyes were blindfolded..."

Chadwick's eyes suddenly dimmed and became listless again, and he muttered to himself:

"Why? Everything is so chaotic and disordered. I remember being a member of the 'Genius Club'... but what did I do? What have I forgotten? Who has bound me to this illusion...?"

Xing couldn't bear to watch any longer. She opened the small bottle that Screw Gum had given her, poured out a small pill, and handed it to Chadwick.

"It can help you remember."

Chadwick paused for a moment, then took it somewhat blankly.

"This is... a pill?"

Chadwick looked at the pills in his hand and fell silent.

"I see... This is the solution that Screw came up with, right?"

With a sigh, Chadwick continued:

"Now, I hold the entire universe in my chest. I can see its every flicker, feel its every beat—but in reality, I know nothing about it."

But just now, when you took out that pill, a voice came from a deep corner of that universe.

That voice...it was trying to convince me that Screwgoom and you were right.

At this point, Chadwick smiled, the first time they had seen genuine joy on his face since they had met him.

"They've completely ignored us..."

Black Tower looked at the two people talking in front of him with a sense of helplessness.

"Is the Star Core Essence really that alluring?"

Nguyen Mai, however, did not pay much attention to that; she had already focused her attention on other parts of the dream.

As for Jiang Lin... he was pondering... whether he could put Chadwick into the Ten Thousand Souls... oh no, the Human Emperor Banner...

But when Jiang Lin looked at Xing and Chadwick again, he found that Chadwick had already taken the pill, and Xing was already using the clock trick on Chadwick.

Jiang Lin shook his head. It seemed that there was nothing more for them to do now.

"Are they reminiscing about the past...?"

Black Tower looked at Star and Chadwick ahead, hesitating whether to get involved.

Ruan Mei seemed to understand Black Tower's thoughts and shook her head at her.

"Alright, for your sake, I'll put aside my curiosity for now."

Then Heita looked at Jiang Lin, her curiosity focused on him, since he hadn't expressed his opinion for quite some time.

Turning around, she saw Jiang Lin fiddling with a strange flag.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Lin, who was still adjusting the data of the Human Emperor Banner, answered without looking up:

"Oh, adjust some data."

Looking at the terrifying flag in Jiang Lin's hand, Hei Ta couldn't help but ask:

"Is this your creation?"

Jiang Lin nodded without explaining anything.

"What's it for?"

"Oh, it's for accumulating good karma."

Upon hearing the Black Tower's question, Jiang Lin answered without hesitation, "Well, at least in Jiang Lin's opinion, this thing can indeed accumulate good karma."

Black Tower looked completely unconvinced, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Ruan Mei also curiously came over, staring at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Jiang Lin's hand for a while before saying:

"Is it related to the soul?"

Jiang Lin nodded, then glanced in Chadwick's direction, thought for a moment, and then lowered his head again to revise something...

"You want to... use this to help Dr. Chadwick?"

Ruan Mei voiced her guess, looking directly at Jiang Lin, hoping to get an explanation from him.

Black Tower then spoke with suspicion:

"Is this thing... definitely not for murder?"

Jiang Lin glanced at the Black Tower and said expressionlessly:

"Don't judge a book by its cover... uh... don't judge things by their appearance. It has its own magic."

"Alright, then I'll watch your performance later."

The Black Tower didn't care about the Dao; after all, based on their current observations of Chadwick's condition, he was most likely not going to survive.

This was not just due to physical reasons, but also because they discovered that Chadwick had already resolved to die, which might be a relief for him.

After saying that, Black Tower lost interest and went off to do something else.

Meanwhile, Ruan Mei watched Jiang Lin's actions with great interest, seemingly taking notes silently.

After a while, Jiang Lin stopped what he was doing and nodded in satisfaction.

Nguyen Mai stopped recording, the Black Tower...

"The Black Tower seems to have been gone for a while."

Nguyen Mai then spoke up to remind him.

Jiang Lin nodded, then looked in the direction of Xing and Chadwick.

Jiang Lin was shocked to find that Chadwick had disappeared, leaving only Xing standing there alone in a daze.

"Gone?"

......

(The royalties for this book have dropped to double digits, but the author is a very stubborn person and will definitely not abandon the story.)

(However, the author is also planning to start a new book. If you like the author's writing style, you can check out the new book on the author's homepage and support it. It's still about the Ironclad.)

(But don't worry, even if I start a new book, updates will still focus on this one. The author will prioritize finishing this book.)

(Finally, there will be one more chapter tonight.)

Chapter 128 The Deal with Chadwick

"You mean Dr. Chadwick? He's already been taken away from Pinocchio by Screw Goom."

Seeing Jiang Lin's confusion, Nguyen Mai took the initiative to explain, and then added:

"We saw that you were in a good state of mind, so we didn't want to disturb you."

Jiang Lin nodded, then asked:

"Then where is he now?"

Xing then came to their side and said:

"They were on the train, and so was the Black Tower."

Jiang Lin didn't say much, and a moment later, the three of them appeared in the observation car of the Starry Sky Train.

"You're finally back! If you hadn't come back, Screw and I would have gone to find you ourselves."

As soon as they returned to the carriage, they heard Heita's dissatisfied complaints, but none of the three paid any attention to it, since those who knew Heita knew what kind of personality she had.

Meanwhile, Screw Gum also spoke up:

"Welcome back, all three of you. Now that you're all here, I think we can begin."

Screw Gum paused for a moment, then continued:

"Two Amber Ages later, Dr. Chadwick was finally freed—he is now with us."

Although Xing had seen Chadwick's memories, she still had some doubts.

"Why did he become like this?"

Hearing Xing's question, Screw Gum showed no impatience and explained gently:

"Dr. Chadwick's nightmare has become a reality."

When his physical body died, the company used the advanced technology provided by Yiting to extract the memory material from his brain and sealed it in a memory bubble.

They must have been prepared, so the entire process of memory migration was extremely rapid—so rapid that even Chadwick's dying self-awareness was preserved…”

Black Tower thought for a moment, then added:

"That might not be enough."

Memories preserved in that way are ultimately just stagnant water.
