Han Yu filled pages with analysis.
Techniques based on bodily transformation remain usable.
Techniques dependent on comprehension disappear.
Physical alterations preserved.
Mental inheritances lost.
Then came the question that bothered him.
Where were memories stored?
Brain?
Soul?
Both?
Han Yu sat in his laboratory staring at several corpses.
He began thinking.
If memories were only in the soul then corpses should be empty. If they existed in the brain then fresh corpses should retain them.
Han Yu immediately tested it.
He selected a corpse that had died recently.
Only a few hours old.
He occupied it.
The moment he entered…
Fragments appeared.
Broken images.
Voices.
Fear.
Pain.
Family.
Han Yu instantly exited.
His eyes widened.
"Fresh corpses retain memories…"
The theory shifted.
He repeated it.
Again.
Again.
The fresher the corpse…
The stronger the memory residue.
Older corpses became emptier.
Months old corpses barely had anything left.
