Chapter 217 Will a lost consciousness find its way home?

Within an extremely illusory space, a shattered soul energy body is drifting.

This soul... like a lonely little boat on the sea, drifting aimlessly, without any ability to move.

"What...state am I in...?"

His consciousness was still hazy; he couldn't even remember who he was...

"Who am I...who am I? Am I Yan Yi?"

In the lonely darkness, this faint consciousness murmured to itself.

He is the part of Yan Yi's consciousness that has dissipated, and it is not even complete, but he still remembers that he is Yan Yi.

To be precise, he knew he was Yan Yi before the soul fusion. He had forgotten his original name, but due to an accident, he ended up in Yan Yi's body.

The two souls merged together, and thus he became that strange being, the so-called soul transmigrator.

Calling him a transmigrator might be a bit inaccurate, because his original body had long since died; he was merely a consciousness that retained memories of his past life, which was captured by Yan Yi's soul and merged with it.

In other words, he could be a time traveler, or he could have always been a part of Yan Yi.

Because he was already there when Yan Yi was born. Yan Yi is himself, and he is also a part of Yan Yi. The souls that had long been merged gradually separated under the influence of his strange pupil technique, and the consciousness of his previous life separated from Yan Yi's soul.

He didn't know what his current situation was.

A strong sense of loneliness welled up inside him, like an infant's innate reaction to seek its mother's embrace; he wanted to find a way back into Yan Yi's body.

"Didn't my consciousness dissipate...?"

His voice was muttering to himself, and the initial indistinctness gradually became clearer.

He began to think about it.

However, he was unaware that the so-called dissipation was only temporary for him, because his consciousness could not be affected by the power of the current dimension.

After all, he is the soul of the higher dimension.

His original consciousness came from a higher dimension, and it wouldn't be so easily influenced by the power of a lower dimension.

"I don't know... but I want to go back..."

The boy's voice began to weaken, and the pure white fragment of consciousness, as if guided by some force, began to drift into the deeper darkness.

......

Yan Yi is currently cultivating with Ban Jian. They haven't had a very good time these past few days, but since the village gave up the search, their lives have returned to normal.

A water-style ninjutsu flew past Yan Yi's face, the sharp water blade grazing his cheek, but Yan Yi seemed to be stunned, standing still.

When Banma noticed that Yan Yi had suddenly lost his focus, he rushed over in a panic. He was even more anxious when he discovered that Yan Yi had been injured by him.

"Ah! Yan Yi! I'm sorry! I..."

It wasn't until Banma's voice rang in his ears that Yan Yi gradually snapped out of his daze.

He stared blankly at the partition, and only when blood dripped onto his neck did he belatedly touch his cheek.

"Ah...it's not your fault, I was just daydreaming..."

Yan Yi looked a bit strange. Itama had no idea what was going on. After all, with an attack of this level, he usually couldn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes.

"Yan Yi, are you alright? You're acting a bit strange..."

Itama's voice trembled. Everything about Yan Yi before had made him anxious and worried. He couldn't imagine losing Yan Yi again, fearing that the pupil technique Yan Yi had used before might have left some aftereffects.

Yan Yi casually wiped her face, shook her head, and put on a smile again.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I just don't know why I was spacing out..."

This didn't seem to be the first or second time this had happened. Itama frowned, gripping Yan Yi's shoulders tightly with both hands, looking at him intently.

"If you feel unwell, be sure to tell me right away! You've been acting a bit strange lately..."

"Really? Hmm..."

Yan Yi didn't know how to answer. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it did seem a bit true.

These past two days, I don't know why, I keep spacing out for a moment, no matter what I'm doing. Sometimes it's eating, sometimes it's walking with Banma, and sometimes it's my training today.

Yan Yi stared into the other person's eyes for several seconds, then suddenly her pupils contracted, and her expression became somewhat subtle...

"Huh? Itama... I think I just remembered something..."

"Huh? Yan Yi, what did you remember?"

Yan Yi reached out and grasped the other person's wrist, which was gripping her shoulder, and examined it closely...

"Didn't I give you a bracelet before...? Huh? That's strange, why would I think of that?"

Yan Yi's confused voice and eyes, as she gripped Ban Jian's wrist and looked him up and down, seemed to be carefully recalling her memories of the incident.

But at that moment, itamoto felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his heart, and he was so shocked that he couldn't utter a single word.

His eyes, which had been serious and earnest at first, immediately turned to shock upon hearing Yan Yi's question.

Why did Yan Yi remember this?

Didn't they say he had forgotten all his memories of the past? How could he suddenly remember them?

Without thinking twice, Itama immediately nodded, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes! Yan Yi, you gave me a bracelet! But later, for various reasons... it's gone..."

His hands trembled as he grabbed Yan Yi's wrist tightly with his other hand.

"Besides this matter, Yan Yi, do you remember anything from the past? Don't rush... think about it slowly!"

Upon hearing this, the boy lowered his head slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in his dark eyes... After a three-minute silence, Yan Yi nodded.

But then he shook his head and explained, "I seem to remember some things, but they're all very vague... I don't know how to explain it."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I feel like I can remember, but right now... I can't quite put my finger on it... I just remember a lot of things, all of which are related to you."

Upon hearing this, Itama could no longer contain his excitement and hugged the other person tightly. His heart was pounding, but he did not hold back at all, and his hands did not loosen their grip.

Is Yan Yi... gradually regaining her memories?

If he could regain his memories, that would be wonderful!

For a moment, Banma couldn't think of anything else to say, but he seemed to be beginning to understand that Yan Yi's absent-mindedness these past two days might be related to his memory slowly returning.

......

In a space unseen by anyone, the white fragment of consciousness seemed to find its way, and then with a whoosh, it burrowed into a warm soul.

In the boundless void, many white fragments of consciousness continue to drift, all searching for that warm soul, trying to return home.

His soul, his consciousness, should have possessed the original Yan Yi of this world, and should also possess the consciousness that came from across the river of time.

Only when both are combined do we get the complete Yan Yi...
