Listening to Charles' words, Anna stood there staring at him blankly. "Forget you completely?"
Charles clenched and unclenched his hands, licking his dry lips nervously. "Yes, that's right, forget me completely. Only by completely forgetting me can you get rid of this trouble outside. It shouldn't exist."
Anna blinked, her expression twisted slightly, and her voice trembled. "Is there really no way? You will disappear completely this way."
Charles nodded his head slightly, and after a slight twitch of his mouth, he revealed an ugly smile. "I know, I know. Although you may not remember it in the future, I still want to say that when I am gone, you and Shanshan will be well. And Anna, I love you."
Hearing this, Anna clenched her teeth tightly, and her voice trembled a little. "Think of a way, Charles, there will always be a way. After all these years, are you going to die here?!"
"I want to go out, too, but this time is different from any other time. I've become it."
"I am aware of my existence at all times. If I want to get out, I must not be aware of my own existence. This is impossible. Only when my consciousness completely dissipates like the second mate and the others..."
When Charles said this, his speech slowed down. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes, which were filled with death, gradually brightened.
He looked at his lover next to him, and said with a hint of excitement on his face: "Anna, I need you to help me get something. With that thing, maybe I can really get out of this predicament!"
Anna immediately knew what Charles was going to do, and her eyes widened to the maximum. "Really? Are you sure?"
"Let's try it first. If it's about that relic, maybe it really can work. Besides, there's no other way now, right?"
Anna seemed to want to say something, but the mirror in front of her began to ripple, Charles in her mind was dissipating, and her abilities began to fail.
Seeing this scene, Anna's face changed. She turned around and quickly retreated to the back, disappearing in front of Charles.
Not long after, she came back again, this time holding a palm-sized purple pyramid in her hand.
That was James's relic, given to him by Charles when they were exploring the ruins of the third laboratory.
The ability of this relic is simple. It can exchange intelligence for powerful physical strength. The greater the strength, the lower the intelligence.
For Charles' current situation, its side effects are stronger than its positive effects. He wants to use this relic. When his intelligence drops to a certain level, he will not be able to sense his own existence. At that time, he will be completely out of trouble.
Moreover, this side effect does not cause any harm and will recover after a period of time.
"Catch it, I'll throw it over." Anna stretched out her hand and threw it lightly, and the purple pyramid flew into Charles' hand.
But when the two intersected with each other, the relic went straight through Charles' body and gradually disappeared in his eyes.
He now "does not exist" to the outside world, and he cannot interact with anything except Anna, who can remember him.
"Is this method not feasible?" Charles' heart skipped a beat.
"It works. I'll figure it out." Not long after Anna finished speaking, three mice came to Charles carrying the pyramid.
Anna copied that memory into the brains of the three mice, so they were also assimilated into "non-existence", and they came to Charles with the pyramid.
Charles bent down and took the pyramid from the mouse's hand. He glanced at Anna in the distance and began to recite in his heart, "I am strong, I am strong, I am strong."
Charles's face, as huge as a round table, was now full of dullness. He stared blankly at the pyramid in his hand, not knowing what was in his mind. His extremely low intelligence made him unable to figure out what to do next.
Although Charles' intelligence is now very low, it is not low enough. He can still sense his own existence. As long as he can sense his own existence, he cannot escape from the current state of "non-existence".
Anna, who was standing by, also noticed Charles' situation and couldn't help but become anxious.
"Charles! Charles! You have to keep going!! Keep getting bigger so you can get out of it!"
When Charles heard the voice, he looked at Anna blankly, and his wooden eyes gradually showed a hint of emotion.
The next second, the mirror in front of Anna suddenly broke, and Charles completely disappeared in front of her.
Looking at the barren Gobi desert all around her, Anna shouted anxiously, but no one responded.
She felt the memory of Charles in her mind gradually fading, diminishing irreversibly.
"No, it won't, this is impossible!" Anna used her ability to frantically fill in the lost memories, but no matter how fast she filled them in, they could not disappear as fast as they did.
Everything the two had in the past was slowly being eroded. Anna held her head with a ferocious expression. Her skin cracked and black scaly tentacles emerged from it, lashing around randomly.
"Why! Why am I still not strong enough? Why on earth!" Anna knelt on the ground and screamed loudly.
Without Charles, Anna would cease to exist completely.
As a member of the Diva tribe, Anna's disappearance can lead to only two possible outcomes. One is to return to the original monster, and the other is to think and create another different personality.
"I... I won't give up!" Anna's face cracked and transformed into its original form, with its wriggling tentacles constantly waving on the ground.
Just as Anna's consciousness was about to fade away, a ripple was heard in the air, and Charles, who was more than 30 meters tall, suddenly appeared in front of her.
The huge Charles had a dull look in his eyes, and transparent saliva slowly slid down from the corners of his mouth. After swaying slightly from side to side, he leaned back.
"Boom!!" The ground shook violently. The fall of Charlton, a man of this size, was no less severe than the collapse of a house of the same height.
With Charles' return, Anna's physical abnormalities gradually disappeared.
Twitching her tentacles, Anna came in front of Charles. Facing Anna's shouts, he now had no reaction.
He did it. He succeeded in making himself unaware of his own existence.
Charles, whose intelligence is close to zero, has forgotten how to move his limbs, how to understand language, and he has even completely forgotten who he is. Now there is nothing in his mind, just an empty shell.
