Chapter 780: Memory Crystals?

Curtis’s grip on the rock started to tighten. Intensely compressed, the rock’s color underwent a mysterious change. It was like oil had been dropped inside, bringing forth a colorful glow that rapidly changed.
“Don’t crush it!” Bai Qingqing snatched the necklace from him and checked the crystal. Thankfully, it was unscathed.
Curtis’s strength was too big. She felt that the crystal was about to shatter earlier.
“I suspect that this is made from the same material as transparent crystals and green crystals,” Winston said. “They are all so hard.”
“Hmmm?” Bai Qingqing looked toward him in surprise. “Why didn’t you mention this before?”
“I only thought of it recently,” Winston replied.
“Then, should I eat one to try?” Bai Qingqing suggested weakly. Before her mates replied, she immediately objected.
“No, there’s only these few of them. Let’s not try that. After we find more crystals, we can try feeding them to wild beasts.”
Curtis’s eyes revealed a regretful gaze, and he said indulgently, “We’ll do as you say. What did you dream of?”
Bai Qingqing smiled and told him everything she saw in the dreams.
After hearing her story, Curtis looked up and exchanged a glance with Winston. He suddenly said, “I understand what you mean now.”
“Hmmm?” Bai Qingqing couldn’t fathom what was going on. She had been here all this while, but why was it that she couldn’t understand the secret code between them?
Winston said that this crystal could be made from the same material as transparent crystals and green crystals. Transparent crystals represented strength and green crystals represented lifespan. What would this octahedron crystal be?
A thought suddenly came to Bai Qingqing’s mind as if something had struck her head. She let out a loud “ahh”.
“Memory?”
Winston looked at Bai Qingqing. Just looking at her, no matter what she did, it would make him happy inside.
“But I didn’t dream of anything. Your dreams could be a coincidence.”
Bai Qingqing patted her chest and said, “Then, I’ll sleep with it under my pillow again today. I dreamed of a female. Possibly, it’s only effective on females.”
“No!”
Both males rejected in unison, their voices sounding very sharp.
Bai Qingqing was given a scare and shrank under her blanket.
She immediately came to a realization. Both green crystals and transparent crystals could take effect in one’s body directly, but their effects were just auxiliary to a lifeform. Memories were the foundation of life.
If these memories were to take effect on someone like the transparent crystals and green crystals, then it could mean that the user’s body had been seized from them.
Immortality!
This word suddenly popped up in Bai Qingqing’s mind.
“Hehe…” she said, “I’m not eating it. I’m only putting it under my pillow. There won’t be any problems. Let’s just give it a try.”
“It’s still too dangerous,” Winston said with a stern look. Taking a look at An’an, who was sleeping at the side, he immediately placed the necklace somewhere further away.
“This can’t do. I better bring the necklace up.” Winston stood up as he said this.
An’an was a fragile female, and she was only three months old, meaning that her life was even frailer. If this thing was really the condensation of someone’s memories, then it was too dangerous for her.
“Then, quickly bring it upstairs. I’ll sleep there tonight,” Bai Qingqing said.
Winston threw her a helpless glance and then turned to walk out.
When Winston came back, Bai Qingqing said, “Actually, I feel that the power of this memory is very weak. It doesn’t have any effect on my thoughts.”
Throwing a look at the soundly asleep An’an, Bai Qingqing said, “Moreover, it seems to not have any effect in the day. An’an is sleeping very well now.”
