Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

"So this is the Honkai!"

Noldrei had obtained what he wanted to know.

In fact, Siegfried and Cocolia could have told him these things, but Noldrei wanted to confirm it from the mouths of the locals.

"I heard that the Honkai is named after the rules of physics that it destroys. But I have an interesting guess, which is, does the Honkai only destroy the physical rules that humans know? Or is the Honkai itself a kind of rule? Can it reverse its own rule characteristics?"

"That is, can the Honkai 'destroy itself'? Can it do that?"

Noldrei couldn't help but ask Siegfried and Cocolia.

'Good grief, is this a nesting doll?'

Siegfried's brain couldn't keep up. After all, the Kaslana family had never had any 'scientific research' abilities.

"If the Honkai can't destroy itself, then that means the Honkai is also a kind of rule. If it can destroy itself, then that means the Honkai we see is not quite normal. Is that what you mean?"

Cocolia understood what Noldrei was saying.

"Life is chaotic and crazy. It has the ability to end itself whenever it wants. This is something that all real matter cannot do. I've never heard of a rock wanting to break itself apart whenever it wants to."

"So if the Honkai itself can't do this, then it can't be considered a life form."

Noldrei was curious about the life composition of Honkai beasts and Herrschers, but he didn't pursue these details further.

Since the Honkai could use gene adaptability to complete its carrying, then the Honkai was not the biggest contradiction that Noldrei needed to face.

He reached out and grabbed Kiana, who was sitting on the side, and took her head off with his hand.

"You brat! We're just chatting, why did you suddenly take my daughter's head off?!"

Siegfried thought that this kind of thing was too scary. Doing this every day would make even his big heart unstable.

"Is there something wrong with my head?"

Kiana was very worried. She felt that Noldrei wouldn't take her head for no reason.

It must have been because there was an outsider, Rita, at the time, so he couldn't say it in front of everyone.

Raiden Mei and Bronya were really speechless.

Kiana had actually gotten used to this state. She didn't think there was anything wrong with others holding her head and playing with it. She even thought that there was something wrong with her own head.

"I'm worried about your consciousness. Future people rarely dream. When humans reach the state of our era, most of them will only desperately do what they want to do, and they all believe that they can definitely do it."

"You may not understand this situation. The movement of consciousness is connected to dreams. A person who can do whatever they want in reality will rarely have situations like 'dreaming' or 'fantasizing'."

"Humans only create actions of conscious thought such as fantasizing and dreaming when they can't do something themselves. So the Herrscher consciousness that the person named Rita mentioned makes me feel a little strange."

Noldrei hadn't seen the Honkai in historical documents, and there were no corresponding records left of these details.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about we 'link up' tonight? That is, try soaking your brain in my body first."

'That's too bizarre!'

The expression on Siegfried's face was very strange. He couldn't imagine what that scene would be like at all.

"Can you load my brain?"

Kiana was a bit curious. This was the only original part of her left.

Although she didn't know what kind of modifications her body had undergone to her brain, the only thing that Kiana could cherish now was her head.

"It's not as troublesome as you think. How you transmit various information to your body, I just receive it. But in order to maintain the independence of your consciousness, we've actually established this situation before."

Noldrei was just grafting a part of her brain.

Bronya couldn't imagine what it would be like for two people to share one brain's information.

"When did we establish it?!"

Kiana was shocked. She couldn't imagine when she had linked up with the other party.

"When I first created your body, I specifically left your whole head to adapt. At that time, I had already linked with you. The chaotic thought structure was actually completely preserved for you."

"Today, we're just reconnecting."

Noldrei's words made Siegfried a bit curious.

He asked directly, "What will happen when you link up? Will two people share one arm? After one person dies, will the other person still be able to control the body's heartbeat?"

Cocolia looked at him in shock, wondering why Siegfried could ask such a bizarre question.

Even so, Noldrei was able to say something.

He held Kiana's brain in one hand and pointed to the organ, saying, "Life is chaos, it's madness. After obtaining the body of a future person, her brain's nerve regeneration will continue to extend."

"You may not understand what I'm saying..."

"You can think of it as her never having Alzheimer's, and the β-amyloid and tau proteins that induce cognitive impairment will also be processed by her body on its own. Her memory will never decay, and she can always keep this 'primitive brain' at its peak during adolescence."

Noldrei's words didn't make Siegfried notice anything wrong, but Cocolia knew what was contained in it.

Cocolia hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that she can face the long life ahead with the mental state of a 17-year-old forever?"

"You're right! How is it, isn't it interesting?"

Noldrei said proudly, "Before humans achieved a breakthrough in lifespan, no one had ever thought that the human brain had such a function. A person's mental state depends on the regeneration of brain neurons."

"The slower the regeneration of brain neurons, the worse a person's ability to adapt to pain will be. At the same time, they will be gradually changed by society to become more conservative, and they won't have the super vitality of young people who 'don't learn from past mistakes'."

Raiden Mei completely understood this time. She and Bronya looked at each other, and they both seemed to understand something from each other.

'Could it be that these future people are all a group of teenagers?'

When the two of them thought that future people were all in the mental state of minors in school, they felt that such a future was a bit strange.

Noldrei ignored everyone's shock and continued to talk about future-related knowledge.

"There's only one situation that can make this ability to forget pain disappear from a 17-year-old brain."

Noldrei became a bit sarcastic when he said this. His understanding of the situation in this era was no longer the same as when he had just arrived.

"That is, the speed at which external pain is applied has completely exceeded the speed at which human brain neurons regenerate themselves."

He said very seriously, "Believe me, there's not a single thing worth cherishing in this primitive era."

"Telomere DNA": Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that protect them from damage. They shorten with each cell division, and this shortening is associated with aging.

"Beta-Amyloid and Tau Proteins": These are proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease. Beta-amyloid proteins form plaques in the brain, while tau proteins form tangles. These abnormalities disrupt brain function and lead to cognitive decline.
