Chapter 828: Chapter 829: Treatment Plan

"It’s not that it can’t be moved at all," Feng Yuan said with a resigned lean against the back of his chair, "it’s just that there are remnants from the Outsiders within those spaces. Who knows what’s actually inside." He could restructure space and establish the Tower of Oblivion, but because it contained remnants left by the Outsiders, he couldn’t guarantee that these would not activate some self-destruct mechanism during the reconfiguration of space.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just erase them instead of worrying about potentially serious damage? Otherwise, could it cause an incident in Featherwood City similar to the Big Explosion in Clock Town?

"Can’t you just extract them?" Wu Xiaowu asked with some confusion. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan glanced at the television and said,

"It’s not that we can’t, but I can’t guarantee that no self-destructive mechanisms will be triggered during the process of moving them. It’s difficult to contain the power of the Outsiders, and once those mechanisms are activated, they could likely damage the surrounding space."

"Moreover, it’s impossible to move them too far, considering they are special spaces. Long distance movement could easily lead to massive space fractures."

Veronia could manipulate those spaces to a small extent, but moving them over great distances would exert such pressure on the actual space that it could cause significant spacetime fractures.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Wu Xiaowu pondered for a moment and then said,

"It seems we have no other choice. But surely the Outsiders you speak of won’t react too harshly?"

Although it was unclear exactly what the Outsiders were, intelligence gathered by Wu Feng suggested they were beings of high intelligence, similar to humans. Would they really not get angry if their belongings were destroyed just like that? Though their remnants had undoubtedly caused trouble, they were powerful. Who knows if they might bring disaster upon Featherwood City?

"They won’t," Feng Yuan said, recalling that mad woman. He truly didn’t understand what she was thinking.

"Anyway, we’ll see if Agunas can make contact with them. If not, this is how we’ll have to deal with it."

Shrugging nonchalantly, Feng Yuan spoke just as there was a knock at the door. Wu Feng and Wu Xiaowu exchanged puzzled looks. The people they knew wouldn’t come to visit so late at night; as for Feng Yuan? He didn’t have relatives or friends in Featherwood City, so who could be looking for him?

With some uncertainty, Wu Feng opened the door. A disheveled woman burst in and made straight for Feng Yuan, who was seated. Xiao Ji immediately stood in front of him, eyeing the intruder with hostility. Glancing at the mad woman, Feng Yuan asked with some confusion,

"What do you want now? You don’t really believe I won’t lay hands on you, do you?"

"I..." the woman started with a rasping voice,

"You can’t destroy those memories!"

"Memories? I don’t even know what they are. You’ve seen the current situation; those spaces have become a threat to the normal order. If there were any special protection measures, I might be able to help you isolate them to a different place. But I don’t know what kind of protections you’ve set up, let alone what’s inside."

Feng Yuan said with narrowed eyes, hesitating for a moment before the woman slowly began to speak,

"That’s... our memories..."

"The Tower of Oblivion was where we buried our past after escaping Odinis. As part of the exchange with Salonto at that time, we set up numerous mechanisms around the place of memories to train Salonto’s soldiers."

"Salonto?" Feng Yuan asked, confused. He felt like he had never heard of this kingdom.

"In the later periods of the Dynasty Era, a nation was established by a group of archaeologists who discovered many relics from the Mythical Era. It was short-lived, but left behind many great wonders spoken of in human lore, a rather special kingdom indeed."

Lorraine Tower, in human form, came over and explained, and looking at the woman, she said calmly,

"They indeed helped us quite a bit. I’ve already had Agunas inform the others. What do you think about moving your place of memories to Mist Island?"

"I just hope its traces can be preserved forever. Where it is doesn’t matter too much to me," the woman said with a wry smile. With some confusion, Feng Yuan said,

"What exactly is your situation? I feel strange about this."

The woman didn’t answer Feng Yuan’s glance but instead, Lorraine Tower said,

"Istina, the Dark Avenger. Her title’s origin is unknown; you could investigate the specifics yourself."

Feng Yuan looked at Istina, who seemed to have lost all reaction to the outside world, and turning to Lorraine Tower, he said,

"Who has angered her? Why do I feel like E Hua Temple is somehow connected to her?"

Remembering the continual disturbances caused by E Hua Temple, Feng Yuan felt no fondness for Istina. Lorraine Tower shook its head and said,

"I’m not sure, I don’t pay much attention to their affairs."

As long as they weren’t wreaking havoc in the outside world, Lorraine Tower really couldn’t be bothered with them. Although Feng Yuan was puzzled about what Istina was up to, after some thought and coming up empty, he gave up.

Wu Xiaowu, having been reminded by the Vermilion Bird, looked at the middle-aged man with white hair in front of her with some confusion and said,

"Are you really Lorraine Tower?"

"What is it?"

Lorraine Tower asked, without even glancing at Wu Xiaowu, devoid of emotion. Unlike with Qi Chen and the others, Lorraine Tower had no particular interest in Wu Xiaowu and Wu Feng, who were not well-acquainted with Feng Yuan. Even though Wu Feng was a Divine Pact Maker with the Vermilion Bird, it did not cause Lorraine Tower to regard them any differently.

Wu Xiaowu hesitated for a moment and then said apologetically,

"Nothing... I just... didn’t expect you to take action personally..."

"What’s so strange about that? Gitalien is also preparing to rush back here to deal with these matters."

Lorraine Tower said, leaning against the wall with its eyes closed, remaining silent. Feng Yuan yawned, stroked Xiao Ji’s head and asked,

"You must have guest rooms here, right?"

"No."

Wu Feng looked at Feng Yuan somewhat speechlessly. It had been previously agreed that Feng Yuan was only to dine with them before being sent to the Special Duty Team’s dormitory to rest. Although the villa belonged to the Wu siblings, they had indeed never hosted guests there, and naturally, they hadn’t prepared any daily necessities for guests.

"What a hassle," Feng Yuan muttered, though he still left holding Xiao Ji. Lorraine Tower glanced at Istina before turning away. Wu Xiaowu muttered discontentedly,

"What the heck! What do they think our home is!"

Wu Feng gave a somewhat embarrassed smile and did not respond. Armed with his identification, Feng Yuan easily obtained temporary lodging at the Special Duty Team’s dormitory. Lying on the bed, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and asked,

"What’s wrong with you? You’ve been looking down since a while ago."

After a glance at Feng Yuan, Veronia hesitated before saying,

"I want... to help them... Those precious memories shouldn’t be lost just like that."

"We’ll see. Those who can make it should be able to move to Lorraine Tower’s Mist Island. For those who can’t... well," he shook his head, Feng Yuan was not optimistic—the time was simply too long. Even if some of the outsiders inherently lived long lives, there was no guarantee that nothing would go wrong during the guard wars.

Veronia was conflicted for a while before saying,

"If I were to integrate them back into the Mirror Realm, could I..."

"Aren’t you worried their stuff would affect the Mirror Realm? The fact that they can utilize shards of the Mirror Realm proves that they have the ability to interfere with it. You know what the consequences would be if something unexpected happened."

Feng Yuan did not dissuade her, but simply informed her of the reality. After a long silence, Veronia said,

"I understand... you feel the same way, don’t you?"

Feng Yuan looked puzzledly at Veronia, not understanding what she meant. With a happy smile for the first time, Veronia said with a smile,

"Wanting to protect those memories from the past, for someone with similar experiences..."

"You’re thinking too much. If I really wanted to preserve those things related to the past, even a complete Mirror Realm would hardly be enough to contain them," Feng Yuan said with a laugh. Landing beside Feng Yuan, Veronia said in a low voice,

"Thank you."

"I could only bring that many for you."

Agunas said discontentedly. To do this, it had visited several regions to gather most of the people. For those who remained unfound, either they had little contact with others and thus nobody knew where they were, or they were no longer around.

Most of these people wore black robes and hoods as if they preferred not to be seen, but there were also those dressed in distinctive regional clothes, holding their own weapons, standing there.
