This time it was Shinji's turn to look confused: "Mumei, you... what's wrong?"
"My name is not Mumei, I have a name!" Pausing, a painful expression suddenly appeared on the girl's face: "What is my name? Why can't I remember?"
"Bad!"
Shinji cried out inwardly that this was not good.
Obviously, this situation appearing in Mumei's mental world was a sign of losing herself!
Immediately, Shinji regretted secretly: "Damn it, I was too anxious and ignored such a big hidden danger!"
'Mumei' (Nameless) was obviously not Mumei's real name. This indicated that Mumei was currently missing an important memory, which undoubtedly meant Mumei's soul had not fully recovered. Under such circumstances, Shinji shouldn't have let her rush to impact the Rinnegan!
Realizing the mistake, Shinji forced himself to calm down.
"As long as I can find Mumei's missing memory and repair the damage to her soul, I should be able to stop her from continuing to fall into self-loss!"
Thinking of this, Shinji reached out again towards the iron bars confining Mumei.
Sizzle...
But as soon as his hand grasped it, a burst of flame instantly ignited on the iron bars, burning him so much that he had to let go.
Looking at the burn marks on his palms, he frowned slightly: "Is this Mumei's subconscious defense?"
Currently, he was just a consciousness body. His power was suppressed in Mumei's mental world, so he could also be injured.
And if he forcibly destroyed this place, it would hurt Mumei's soul again.
Taking a step back, Shinji didn't act rashly again.
"What to do?"
He thought for a moment, then suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, thinking of pyroxenes (glow stones).
Every time Mumei marked a person with 'Yachihoko', a pyroxene related to that person would be generated, and the pyroxene recorded all memories of Mumei with that person.
And among all pyroxenes, there must be one belonging to Mumei herself. As long as he could find that pyroxene, Shinji could retrieve that missing memory of Mumei.
With an idea, Shinji instantly activated 'Shadow Clone Technique', creating many shadow clones to search for the place storing pyroxenes in Mumei's mental world.
Not long after, one of Shinji's shadow clones opened a large door and found the pyroxenes stored by Mumei.
Looking at these countless pyroxenes floating around, flickering with faint halos, Shinji was stumped at once.
There were at least tens of thousands of pyroxenes stored here. Checking one by one, God knows how much time it would take.
Strolling in the ocean of pyroxenes, while pushing aside the pyroxenes floating around him, Shinji analyzed secretly: "Mumei's own pyroxene should be her most precious and important pyroxene, so it must be hidden in the deepest part!"
"Not these..."
"Not these either..."
"None of these!"
Shinji pushed aside the pyroxenes in front of him one by one, striding forward.
At this moment, countless streams of light, countless images, countless memories flashed past his eyes like a revolving lantern!
One must know that pyroxenes stored memories. Every time one browsed a pyroxene, the browser would be affected by the memories in the pyroxene. So browsing a large number of pyroxenes continuously also carried the danger of causing schizophrenia and losing oneself.
Only Shinji could do this. If it were someone else with a weaker consciousness body, they probably would have to stop and rest after rummaging through just a few pyroxenes.
Going all the way forward, Shinji finally arrived in front of the last pyroxene.
Shinji's expression condensed.
The pyroxene in front of him emitted light far surpassing other pyroxenes. Anyone could distinguish its uniqueness at a glance.
"Found it!"
Shinji turned to joy, reaching out one hand towards the pyroxene.
He wanted to check what incredible memories were recorded in this pyroxene, making Mumei cherish it so much even in her subconscious, hiding it deeply in the deepest part of the pyroxene sea.
Soon, the pyroxene was opened by Shinji, and the scene in front of him changed abruptly.
"This is..."
In his perspective, he seemed to be curled up in a dark deep pit. The entrance of the pit seemed to have been dug open by something, then a familiar figure appeared at the entrance and reached out a hand to him: "Don't be afraid, I'll pull you out!"
Shinji was stunned.
Because the figure reaching out to him in his field of vision was none other than himself!
"Is this Mumei's perspective?" Pausing, Shinji looked incredulous: "This pyroxene hidden in the deepest part of the pyroxene sea is... is my pyroxene?"
Undoubtedly.
This pyroxene flickering with the brightest light, hidden in the deepest part, was not Mumei's own, but Shinji's.
Recorded in this pyroxene were all memories of Mumei meeting and knowing Shinji. The scene Shinji saw just now was exactly the scene of him undoing Mumei's seal and rescuing Mumei from the deep pit!
Shinji turned his head to look at the pyroxene sea in front of him, smiling helplessly: "What a dummy. Like this, how can I find your own pyroxene?"
He really didn't expect his own pyroxene to be the one Mumei cherished most. In this way, the pyroxene belonging to Mumei would be hard to find.
Suddenly, a tremor appeared under Shinji's feet.
His expression became solemn. This was Mumei's mental world. Sudden tremors undoubtedly indicated that the loss of Mumei's inner heart was intensifying.
"Time is running out!"
Shinji's brows gradually knitted tight.
The most precious pyroxene here was actually not Mumei's own. With so many remaining pyroxenes, Shinji had no way to start searching.
He suppressed his impatience again and analyzed: "If Mumei's pyroxene were here, her memory wouldn't be missing. So her pyroxene is not here! But if not here, where could it be?"
The ground under his feet shook again, more violently this time than just now.
"Not good, Mumei's spirit can't hold on!"
Shinji hurriedly took the pyroxene belonging to himself and rushed back outside Mumei's prison cell.
Inside the cell, Mumei was still holding her head, murmuring to herself: "Who am I? What exactly is my name?"
Shinji shouted: "Mumei, look at me!"
Mumei in the cell was stunned, slowly looking at Shinji.
Shinji grasped the iron bars of the cell with both hands, trying to pull them open.
Mumei exclaimed: "No, you will get hurt!"
"Dummy, don't let yourself be trapped by this kind of ghost thing!"
Letting the flames rising from the iron bars burn himself, Shinji roared and pulled the bars.
Creak...
Under Mumei's surprised gaze, Shinji tore the iron bars apart fiercely, rushed into the cell in one step, and placed his pyroxene in front of Mumei: "I don't care who you are, nor what your name is, I only know the memories between you and me are real!"
Staring blankly at the pyroxene in Shinji's hand, reviewing the bits and pieces of memories with Shinji, the confused look in Mumei's eyes gradually became clear.
At this time, a broken pyroxene flew out of her body.
As this broken pyroxene flew out, a scene appeared simultaneously in front of Shinji and Mumei. In the scene, a pair of parents looked lovingly at their child: "Hikari... your name is Hikari Uchiha!"
