Chapter 408: Chapter 105 Stolen Knowledge and Time_2

Just talking about the knowledge that Franda has gathered, it’s an invaluable treasure.

Link’s consciousness immediately sank into his Sea of Consciousness at the thought of that knowledge, moving into the “Small World”.

He planned to meticulously organize the diverse knowledge that Franda had collected, categorizing and storing it for future gradual study and reference.

But the moment his consciousness entered the origin of the “Small World”, he noticed something unusual.

“Franda.”

Link called out.

“Master, I’m here.”

In a flash, Franda appeared by Link’s side.

“Where are those documents?”

Link asked lightly, his tone warm, without any trace of blame.

“They’re over there… Ah!”

Franda pointed and was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “How come they’re gone? I clearly left them there, how could they just disappear? Was there a thief?”

The place in the origin of the “Small World” where Franda had temporarily stored the many systems of knowledge was now empty.

Not to mention the documents, there was not a single hair.

“Don’t worry.”

Link comforted Franda, who was on the verge of tears, saying, “Think it over carefully, did something unexpected happen along the way?”

“Emmmm…”

Franda thoughtfully sucked her thumb, frowned for a moment, then dejectedly said, “I remember, there were no accidents. I copied them myself and personally placed them there.”

“Communicate with the ‘Small World’.”

After thinking for a while, Link gave a suggestion.

Even as the owner of the “Small World”, when it comes to communicating with the “Small World”, Link was not better than Franda, who was a “Spirit”.

This can be likened to Iron Man as the developers and owners of the battle armor, needing to use artificial intelligence J.A.R.V.I.S to better “communicate” with the armor.

“Alright, master, I will communicate now.”

Franda obediently agreed with a sob in her voice.

She gently closed her eyes and earnestly communicated with the “Small World”, asking and listening.

A little while later, Franda opened her eyes, full of bewilderment and doubt, and said, “Master, the ‘Small World’ told me that it has never received those documents. What’s going on? Master, did I fall into an illusion when I was doing it?”

Link was stumped by her question.

When Franda was copying and storing those documents, Link had been keeping an eye on her whole process.

If Franda had fallen into an illusion, then he should have as well.

Link sifted through his memories, comparing them frame by frame in the Hall of Memories to what had happened.

Soon, Link confirmed that neither he nor Franda had fallen into an illusion.

Those documents had indeed been copied.

The carrier for storing the documents had indeed been placed in the “Small World”.

Therefore, the vast knowledge that Franda had painstakingly gathered had indeed been stolen.

And it was stolen right from their well-protected base.

However, the entity who stole the documents was rather unusual.

So unusual that Link found it absurd.

Franda felt upset that she failed to accomplish the task assigned by the master.

She hung her head low, constantly sniffing, her small teardrops flowing down, while she sobbed quietly.

“Franda, don’t cry. This is not your fault.”

Link gently stroked Franda’s hair, softly comforting her, “This has nothing to do with you. I’ve figured out the reason.”

“Master, what’s the reason?”

Franda lifted her head, her eyes misty from crying as she asked softly.

“It’s because I didn’t fully consider it at the time.”

Link sighed lightly, “I only knew that in the Special Ruin World, like Schrödinger’s cat, it existed in reality when being observed and disappeared when not observed.

I didn’t realize that everything in the Special Ruin World, whether they were physical objects or information, also shared this peculiar quality.”

If we keep observing the knowledge we gathered, it will continue to exist in reality.

Unfortunately, I didn’t consider this at the time and neglected to make the necessary arrangements, leading to the waste of Franda’s hard work. I’m sorry, Franda—the fault lies with me.”

Franda sniffed and swallowed her sob, and mumbled, “The master didn’t make a mistake. The Ruin World was the one that did. It’s too awful for bringing up such strange rules.”

With that, Franda grew angry, “We won’t go there next time, or if we do, we’ll make trouble! Smash everything inside into bits! Let’s see if it dares to bring up strange rules again!”

“Hahaha!”

Link laughed heartily at her words, his earlier gloom instantly swept away.

Franda was too cute, saying such hilarious threats.

How could they just go to a place that the Supreme Council placed so much importance on?

Putting aside this matter, Link let Franda go and have fun, whether it was taking care of the flowers and plants or arranging the palace, the point was to forget all those unpleasant things.

Leaving the “Small World” with his consciousness and returning to the Sea of Consciousness, looking at the “Solar System” structure of the “Universe Meditation Method”, Link couldn’t help but sigh.

However, his consciousness, which was situated in the Sea of Consciousness, was still just a vague cloud without a human form.

It was not like when it was in the “Small World”, where everything was as real as a human.

As he continued to look, Link sensed something was wrong.

How did the layout of the “Solar System” structure become more detailed and reasonable?
