Chapter 727: Memories

Sparkle stretched her hand out gently, and her fingers transformed into tentacles that wrapped around Lily, who was on the ground.

"I'm familiar with that feeling, but it's a feeling that has become more and more unfamiliar to me as my mind matures.

"Perhaps your immature mind is the reason you've been struggling with that feeling for so many years. I think you should address your childishness first before thinking about your parents."

No one would like to be told that they were childish, and Lily was no exception.

"But what can I do?! I also don't know why I'm like this! I don't want to stay a child forever; I want to mature, too! Also, you're not much older than me! What gives you the right to say that I'm childish and immature?!" Lily retorted.

Sparkle sighed lightly and said, "Come with me to my place. I'll try to see if I can help you. Our circumstances are both special, after all."

Sparkle's selflessness made Lily feel a bit embarrassed. She looked and sounded awkward as she said, "Sorry, I went overboard just now."

However, Sparkle didn't mind at all. A white light flashed, and the two found themselves standing before a house in a residential area. They were on top of the World's Crown, which Sparkle had replicated perfectly.

Amidst the vast swaths of dilapidated buildings, Sparkle's house was particularly eye-catching.

"Want something to drink?" Sparkle asked, placing Lily on a table.

"Coconut juice."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Sparkle's figure became slightly transparent before returning to normal in the blink of an eye. Her hand was empty just moments ago, but now, she was holding an opened coconut.

"Drink up."

Lily was a bit hesitant in the face of the opened coconut. When she saw the teeth marks on the coconut, she couldn't help but remark, "Um... I think someone was eating that just now..."

"You're a mouse, but you're pickier than humans. It seems that you've never experienced true hunger. Nene and the others are never picky."

Sparkle flipped her palm, and a newly opened coconut appeared in her hand. She then handed it over to Lily.

Lily promptly stuck her furry head into the coconut to take a sip of the juice before looking up at Sparkle and asking, "How can you help me become more mature?"

Lily longed to see her family, but her desire to become more mature took precedence over her longing. Lily didn't want to stay as a child for the rest of her life.

"You have to master the power inside of you. Your power is from the Light God, and I'm sure that once you've mastered it, you will be able to shatter the restraints that have been suppressing the maturity of your mind."

"Mmhm! Okay, so what should I do?" Lily asked, sounding curious.

Charles was sitting calmly on a stool, eating the bowl of minced pork rice before him using a pair of chopsticks. The Foundation knew many things about him, and it included even his favorite food.

"I'm full." Charles wiped his mouth clean with a napkin before turning to the woman next to him and asking, "Where are we going next?"

Upon realizing that they wanted to absorb him into the Foundation, Charles concluded that the best course of action was to behave in a normal way.

"We're going this way; please follow me. We're going to scan your memories."

Charles' heart sank at the reply. Since they wanted to absorb him into the Foundation, it wasn't strange for them to conduct a memory scan.

"Alright," Charles replied and followed closely behind the woman. The difference in strength between him and the Foundation was too great, so he had no choice but to take things one step at a time.

There was a clean and spacious corridor outside the room. The minimalist style of the corridor was indeed very Foundation-esque.

Soon, Charles was sent to a room that seemed to have been made entirely out of flesh. The leather sofa felt as warm as someone's body as Charles sat on it and stared calmly at the mirror in front of him.

He was certain that there were people observing him from behind the mirror.

"Go ahead and scan him. I really want to know how he appeared in the Subterranean Sea. Logically speaking, it should have been impossible for him to be in the Subterranean Sea," Paiper said.

As soon as its words fell, waves that were invisible to ordinary people rippled from all four sides of the room and converged on Charles' head.

Meanwhile, a few long needles connected to optical fibers were forcefully inserted into Paiper's deformed worm head by some people wearing white lab coats.

Paiper's figure twitched, and all of Charles' memories flashed across its mind. It browsed the memories for a while before exclaiming in disbelief, "My goodness, what's going on with this guy's memories? Why are there traces of alteration in every single memory of his?

"Hmm? Why is there a hidden memory here? Who did this?" Paiper discovered a hidden memory in the deepest recesses of Charles' sea of consciousness. The sight piqued Paiper's curiosity, and it couldn't help but open the isolated memory.

The moment Paiper opened the isolated memory, it instantly learned that the memory contained a very unique existence—the Inexistence.

Upon sensing that it had been perceived, the Inexistence that had been orbiting Charles raised its skeleton head and gazed right at Paiper behind the glass.

Clang!

The long needles connected to Paiper fell helplessly to the ground with a loud clang.

The colossal twisted worm had vanished from the monitoring room.
