Chapter 53: memory construction
Misaka Mikoto originally thought that Shiranui-senpai would be hit hard, but when she turned her head to look, she found that the expression on the senior's face was very calm and calm, without any wavering.
Misaka Mikoto couldn't figure out what that meant for a while—Senior Shiranui was probably more sad than herself, right? After all, I and these two boys just know each other, and the senior seems to be in a relationship with Xingye.
"By the way," Misaka Mikoto looked at Doctor Frog, "Just now Doctor Guta said that you can use superpowers...I..."
For a moment, the always bold and generous Electric Shocker showed a tangled expression, and then took out the phone with a "go all out" attitude as if determined: "I can only ask her, as long as I ask in person, she will never Refused!"
At this time, a white hand suddenly stretched out beside her and stopped her.
Hitomi Shiranui pressed her phone: "There is no need for 'psychological mastery'. After all, I am a powerful 'memory builder'!"
"The two of them are in a similar situation. They are both physically damaged brain cells. To be honest, it is almost impossible to restore the original state." At this time, Doctor Frog reminded, "Even if you rely on superpowers...according to my judgment , even that level 5 'psychological mastery' is difficult to achieve."
Hitomi Shiranui stepped forward: "No, it may be difficult for others to say, but for Xingye, it's absolutely fine."
She looked back at Dr. Frog and Misaka Mikoto, showing a soft and confident smile: "I will definitely help Xingye recover her memory!"
Kamijou Touma also ignited his confidence, and watched carefully with his eyes wide open—if Ling Xingye can really be cured, then it must also be able to help him recover his memory!
Shiranuo Tong came to Ling Xingye's side and sat sideways on the hospital bed, a pair of pupils that seemed to be able to shine reflected the boy's face.
"I won't waste any more time introducing myself." Hitomi Shiranui's words carried out a certain degree of firmness, "Anyway, Xingye will remember soon."
Ling Xingye found himself relaxed and let the girl approach him unsuspectingly, and couldn't help being surprised by this strange sense of familiarity and trust. He closed his eyes and thought.
"I see, does my mind still have this kind of setup...then please."
Ling Xingye nodded, sat up straight and leaned forward slightly.
Shiranui Hitomi also leaned towards Ling Xingye as if hugging her body. Indeed, she hugged the boy's head with both hands, pressing their foreheads tightly together.
There seemed to be a brighter brilliance in the eyes, and then the girl also closed her eyes.
The real world around them receded like a tide, and all senses were cut off and stripped away.
Their brain waves, or "souls," establish the most direct connection.
Following the skin-to-skin contact position of her forehead, Hitomi Shiranui pushed open the "gate" that only existed in imagination, and "walked into" Ling Xingye's spiritual world—a "memory palace" built by herself for Ling Xingye.
Listening to the name, it is not difficult to imagine that from the perspective of spirit or memory, Ling Xingye's mind and spiritual world are indeed presented in front of Shiranui Tong as a tall and majestic palace.
Shiranuotong knew that every brick and tile of this palace was Ling Xingye's "memory". The palace itself is a concrete presentation of the boy Ling Xingye's seventeen years of life experience.
This is the first "memory palace" built by Hitomi Shiranui, earlier than the one she had in her mind.
Three years ago, she was only a level 3 powerful user. It was precisely because of the successful construction of this "memory palace" that she was truly upgraded to a level 4 "memory construction"!
As a builder, Shiranui Tong is even more familiar with this palace than Ling Xingye himself. That's why she dared to guarantee that Ling Xingye's memory could be restored.
Entering the palace, Hitomi Shiranui changed his avatar into the image of a "construction worker". He was dressed in brown-gray rough canvas overalls; his waist-length black hair was coiled up and covered under his work cap; Put on the labor protection gloves woven with white thread.
But this is just the image that Hitomi Shiranui "made up" by himself, and she is a beautiful girl with extraordinary beauty, so this dress is more like it.
Immediately, Ling Xingye's avatar appeared beside her, wearing a hospital gown just like the "outside".
The scene inside the palace is a huge library, with countless books extending from the floor to the ceiling. Just looking at it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
- These are all Ling Xingye's memories.
Now Ling Xingye also saw the scene in the palace for the first time, and looked up: "It's really spectacular!"
"This is Xingye's own memory, don't be so surprised." Hitomi Shiranui began to take out books from his pocket and said, "And there are more books in my palace!"
"It's no wonder, after all, you have absolute memory ability."
"Oh?" Hitomi Shiranui smiled, "Remember the 'knowledge' about me?"
Because he couldn't accurately grasp the relationship with the girls around him, Ling Xingye seemed a little at a loss.
Noticing the subtle distance between the two, Hitomi Shiranui sighed slightly.
"I will definitely restore your memory!" She pursed her lips tightly, took off her overalls and picked them upside down.
Immediately, countless books poured out of the pockets on both sides like flowing water, and quickly piled up at her feet.
And there was a steady stream of books falling down.
The girl didn't seem to think it was fast enough, she shook impatiently.
"What are you doing?" Ling Xingye asked proactively, unable to understand the girl's miraculous behavior, and to resolve the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
"This? Construction materials." Hitomi Shiranui said without raising his head, "Xingye, you lost your memory due to physical damage to your brain. The corresponding manifestation in this palace is structural damage to the building, and then the relevant books are lost. "
"Oh..." Ling Xingye nodded with a vague understanding.
"This is the memory palace of the starry night, so of course, the material to build this palace is your memory. In our original setting, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com memory is embodied in the form of books. "
"us?"
"Yes, us. Xingye and me!" Hitomi Shiranui emphasized word by word, "This is the first palace I built. Thanks to Xingye's help, I was able to successfully advance to level 4. .”
"Really?" Ling Xingye felt as if he was listening to someone else's story, "But when it comes to memory, the first thing that comes to mind is books."
"That's right, that's what Xingye said back then!"
As more and more books were poured out, gradually covering the floor of the hall, Ling Xingye and Shiranui Tong kept shifting their positions in order not to be overwhelmed by the mountain of books.
In the process, I finally saw the damaged part of the palace-that is the long corridor behind the main hall and leading to the apse. Half of the main structure of the promenade has collapsed, and the dark and deep void and chaos can be seen outside.
Books are like bricks and tiles. After everything was ready, Hitomi Shiranui put on her work clothes again, rolled up her sleeves and started working.
Fortunately, this is Ling Xingye's "mind" - a world of memories, so it is not necessary for two people to act as coolies to move bricks.
Hitomi Shiranui wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, raised his white-gloved right hand and swung vigorously.
The books covering the floor of the hall followed the trend, and flew to the corridor behind one by one, and then automatically stacked them neatly.
"These books are the materials used to repair my memory palace?" Ling Xingye asked suddenly, "but what is lost is my own memory?"
"That's right, these are Xingye's memories." Shiranui Hitomi smiled proudly, "These are Xingye's memories of the past three years! Except for the last two weeks, all the memories are here!"
