256 - The Terms Need Revision, I Think (3)
‘What…?’
Ye Mo found himself frowning as he looked around.
There was nothing to be seen but darkness. It was such an odd sensation, because he could still see his body with perfect clarity, his fingers, his hands, his limbs, yet his surroundings were pitch black in color.
It was as if he was floating in nothingness.
Empty.
Alone.
The silence was deafening.
“Where am I?” he asked himself out loud.
He could hear his voice, which was something he felt thankful for, but aside fr

257 - The Terms Need Revision, I Think (4)An empty darkness.Ye Mo found himself in a state that was hard to describe—he was neither floating nor stepping on flat ground—and yet he found his body stably fixed in an upright position. He must have been in this place for a long time, but there was no feeling of fatigue or dissonance. It was as if he’s an existence that didn’t belong in that darkness, though he was being welcomed and accepted by it.‘What am I?’‘Do I even exist?’‘What’s the purpose of me being here?’It seemed meaningless to move in a place where the concept of space didn’t seem to operate, yet Y

258 - The Terms Need Revision, I Think (5)However, the memories in Ye Mo’s head remained elusive as a butterfly in a dream. Things that mattered to him, people that were important to his life, none of their images stayed in his mind. Something was urging him to let it go, to simply embrace the nothingness, but at the same time, he felt that he should resist that urge.‘If I let go…it will really be gone.’It was a strange thought, but he trusted his intuition. Ye Mo felt that as long as he gave it his all, he could remember the things he had forgotten. It would be slow, but it would work if he tried hard enough.So he stopped walking.He sat down cross-legged amidst the inky black darkness and waited.

It did not take long for those steps to quicken, and soon, he was running.“Is anyone there? Can you hear me?” he called out, but there was no response. He tried to focus on his hearing, but aside from the sounds that his body was making, there were no other noises.It was as if the voice he heard a while ago was all a figment of his imagination.‘No! I clearly heard it!’He swore that he heard another voice. It wasn’t a man’s voice, but rather, a little girl’s.

Bloody mud covered his body, but he paid that no attention as he grabbed the weapon nearest him—a sword with a broken blade---probably a remnant of one of the fallen soldiers on the battlefield.“Eurachaaaaa!” he heard someone bellow furiously, and he felt another attack coming towards his back.Behind Ye Mo stood a warrior that looked way too large and hairy to be considered human, rock hard muscles bulging underneath its soft leather armor.Ye Mo’s body moved on its own, perfectly receiving the enemy’s sword as he parried the attack. He was bewildered by what was happening, but he wasn’t in a good position to worry about useless thoughts when his life could be r

261 – Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (3)A fair-skinned human girl no taller than the height of his waist, wearing a satin robe that was neither stained by blood or mud. Big eyes on a small face, perfectly arranged black hair in a style of braided bun, delicately balanced features that indicated she would surely grow into a gorgeous young lady given a few years.Her adorable appearance made one have an urge to pinch her chubby cheeks, and if there were any females around, Ye Mo felt that they would fawn over how the little girl looked like a beautiful living, breathing doll.‘And it’s not a sight that should be seen in the middle of a battlefield.’Ye Mo tried to open his mouth to say something, but he remained unable to utter even a s

However, it was as if a man expecting to receive a spark of flame enough to light a candle suddenly found a fire so large and dangerous his entire house was covered in flames before he knew it.Hundreds of unfamiliar distorted images flooded inside his brain, some seemingly his own, of a young genius swordsman from a fallen clan, while other fragmented memories belonged to dozens of other people—an old senile man, a pregnant peasant, a silversmith, a one-armed spearsman, a scholar, a waitress,

263 – Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (5)‘I died?’Ye Mo tried to remember the last thing that happened to him, but only fragmented pieces of images appeared in his mind. Confusion was the only thing he could feel aside from the head-splitting pain, though he was trying to calm himself and follow the words of the little girl to embrace his memories.‘Since I died, shouldn’t I undergo samsara? Why am I seeing the memories of my former reincarnations?’What happened to him before he appeared and walked around that endless darkness?No, wait, what was he doing before the little girl appeared?He was swinging his sword against—The little girl frowned when she saw the images swimming inside his mind.“Outers.”Gaaaasp!She reached out her small chubby hands and touched the crown of his head, and she channeled her spiritual energy inside his body, focusing it on erasing those images that did not belong to him or to this era.“You are in so much pain because you took a peek at

264 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (1) “Uncle, are you all right?” It was Ye Hua who first noticed that Ye Mo was acting strange. The man’s eyes were looking at the people in the room as if they were people he had not seen for a long time. There was recognition in his gaze, as well as a kind of dissonance. “Huh? Yeah…yeah…” After staying unconscious for days and almost crossing the fine line of life and death, it was reasonable for Ye Mo to be in a daze, and everyone thought so as well. But Ye Hua’s intuition was telling him that his uncle was not just confused, but actually not in a normal state of mind. However, he decided to stay quiet. Because he felt that Little Yin had something to do with this. The young man’s eyes glanced in the direction of the little girl, who brought them all towards the room saying that Ye Mo should be waking up soon. Ye Hua remembered that incident several days ago, that eerie darkness that made his soul tremble. A power that could oppose n
