The Puppeteer of Academy City

"That's right, these are Xingye's memories." Hitomi Shiranui pointed to the book that was poured out of his pocket, "These are Xingye's memories of the past three years—except for the last two weeks, all the memories are here oh!"

"How come..." Ling Xingye was surprised, "Why do you have my memory?"

"Because you haven't restored your memory, so I don't know..." Hitomi Shiranui explained with a smile, "In the past three years, since Xingye built a memory palace in your mind and mastered the absolute memory ability, we will be like this every two weeks Back up each other's memory data.

"That's why I can guarantee that I can restore Starry Night's memory, because I do save all your memories—of course, I can't do anything about it because I haven't had time to back it up in the past two weeks, but I can tell you about this part bit by bit. .”

"Can you still operate like this?" Ling Xingye was even more surprised, "So, I also have your memory here? Why didn't I see it..."

"Don't just spy on the girl's memory! There are scenes like bathing too!" Hitomi Shiranui said, "Because Xingye is not a real absolute memory user, the speed of retrieving the required information from the huge memory data is too slow , Usually your brain will subconsciously seal up most of the 'useless' complicated memories. You have to think hard to find the information you want."

Seeing that Ling Xingye was really thinking hard, the girl couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't waste your time. The memories we archive in our respective palaces are all encrypted—speaking of it, Xingye, you should still remember the password you set. ?”

"I should only set the same password..." Ling Xingye thought for a while, "If my habits haven't changed..."

Hitomi Shiranui sighed: "Didn't you tell me the password? But don't want me to tell you my password too~ Besides, even if you know the password, you can't just read other people's memories. Because we have a backup It is a complete memory—from another perspective, it also includes our personality traits. If you read it easily, it may cause your own personality to be polluted, personality split or mental breakdown!"

"So, this password is actually more like a firewall protecting the other party?"

"That's right."

While speaking, Hitomi Shiranui kept waving her arms like a band conductor, and the books around her flew up with her movements, filling in the damaged parts of the corridor.

Seeing that she was busy, Ling Xingye also calmed down and watched from the sidelines.

Although it is my own memory palace, this surreal fantasy scene still feels very subtle.

And Ling Xingye felt his memory carefully, but couldn't find any significant changes.

So he was really watching like an irrelevant person.

Shiranui Hitomi's "construction" went very smoothly. She had all the blueprints of the palace in her mind, and she was also the builder, so she acted without hesitation. Countless books turned into several "torrents", filling the palace accurately and quickly. above the hole.

After four or five hours, Hitomi Shiranui finally finished all the work.

"Okay!" The girl clapped her hands, looking like she was done, "Fixed! Next, as long as you open the seal of these memories, Xingye, you can restore them to their original state. Of course, I will make extra arrangements for the memories of the last two weeks. A copy is for you, because it is based on my memory, so there will be some omissions... Just pretend that your memory has not been very good in the past two weeks."

"It's amazing," Ling Xingye looked at the brand-new corridor in front of him, "If the scene just now can be photographed, it can be used as an excellent video material without post-production."

"Ah, Xingye, your side as a puppet master has not been affected at all."

Ling Xingye walked along the long corridor and asked, "But, can human memory be repaired so easily?"

Hitomi Shiranui hurriedly followed: "Of course not! Only you can do it to Xingye, because your memory palace is my best work, and I also have a backup of your memory here, so I can restore the memory by this method. Like Kamijou Touma, there is nothing I can do, I can only help him with some inducements, see if he can stimulate the fragments left in his subconscious, and then recover by himself... To be honest, my ability in this area is really not as good as that psychological mastery .”

Ling Xingye nodded, and then continued: "Actually, my question is, is the backup memory really the memory we used to have? Treating the brain like this is like operating a computer. I can understand it as converting the memory into" Knowledge' and 'intelligence' are stored, right? To be more extreme, just like the information stored in a computer, it can be converted into digital information of 0 and 1...

"Can this level of information really preserve the most important part of human memory?"

Hitomi Shiranui was stunned for a moment: "You mean... feelings?"

"Emotion," Ling Xingye nodded, "or in other words, it's personality."

Memory construction—Academy City's top memory master fell silent.

Indeed, she didn't know that Huotong was "memory construction", not "personality construction". All she can manipulate is memory...that is, information stored in a human's mind.

As for more abstract things such as human emotions and personalities, she can only indirectly influence them through memory as a bridge. In this regard, she is far inferior to Tokiwadai's "psychological mastery" Shokuhou Misaki.

For example, now, Ling Xingye's question is actually the ultimate question of human beings - who am I?

"It's okay." Hitomi Shiranui said loudly.

The girl's clear voice echoed in the corridor.

Ling Xingye turned his head and saw the girl's extremely firm eyes.

"Xingye is starry night, and this will not change! And this is Xingye's own memory," she opened her hands, embracing the entire corridor and palace, "Xingye's words will definitely be fully accepted and regain the feelings in these memories!"

Ling Xingye laughed, and then read out his usual password—the seal of memory was lifted.

"Don't be so nervous." After doing all this, he walked up to the girl. "I'm just putting forward a hypothesis like philosophy or psychology. Don't we often do this kind of discussion and brainstorming?"

"Xingye... have you recovered your memory!" The girl's beautiful eyes shone brightly.

"Not until just now." Because the password was not used to unblock it at that time, "But I think it will happen often between us, right?"

Ling Xingye came in front of Shiranui Tong, bent his body slightly, and their foreheads touched.

Opening their eyes, they "returned" to the ward.

Ling Xingye suddenly exerted force and gave the girl a big hug.

After a while, Shiranui Hitomi realized that there were other people beside him, and quickly broke away.

Ling Xingye didn't insist either, and after letting go, he turned to look at the clock beside the bed.

Less than two minutes had passed in real time.

"How? Does it work?"

"What happened just now!"

Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto asked questions at the same time.

Ling Xingye tilted his head and pondered for a moment: "My words should be regarded as restoring memory—the memories after coming to Academy City are all back."

"Really! That's great!" Kamijou Touma's eyes sparkled with hope.

Misaka Mikoto also had an excited expression.

"Super power is really unreasonable and convenient." Doctor Frog sighed with emotion, and then left the ward, seeming a little depressed.

Hitomi Shiranui said, "But sorry, Kamijou-san, I'm afraid I can't do anything about your memory."

"Hey! Why!" Kamijou Touma exclaimed.

"I was able to restore Xingye's memory because I stored a backup of Xingye's memory, and I just need to copy it. Moreover, Xingye has built a memory palace in his mind, which can easily achieve this level of operation... But Kamijou-san , both conditions are not met."

"This...I'm so unlucky!" Kamijou Touma didn't blame anyone else, he could only sigh habitually, "No, no, Xingye is too lucky!"

"Wait, wait!" Misaka Mikoto interrupted, "Senior, what's going on with you? What about the memory backup? Are your brains and memories connected!"

"You can understand that the two computers back up each other's data." Ling Xingye explained, "To a large extent, Tong's ability is to learn from the way of operating a computer to operate memory."

"Memory connection is of course impossible." Hitomi Shiranui also said, "It's just that Xingye and I will back up each other every two weeks."

"Of course, this is just an experiment to help me develop my abilities." Seeing the weird eyes of the other two, she quickly added an explanation, "And the memory of the other party is only stored in the form of data packets, and I cannot read the content. "

"Two weeks?" Misaka Mikoto suddenly remembered something, "So when was the last backup?"

"Exactly two weeks ago?" Ling Xingye replied, because now his memory was broken at that time~www.NovelMTL.com~ At that time...he didn't know me yet!

"What's wrong? Misaka-san? Your face is ugly." Kamijou Touma asked with concern.

...even this idiot doesn't remember me, so what am I here for?

"Hey, don't discharge in the hospital! Is it bad if you break the medical equipment?"

Kamijou Touma's familiar exclamation was a little far away.

"I'm going back first..." Misaka Mikoto suddenly seemed to be out of power, she lost her whole body, said goodbye casually, and slowly left the ward.

Well, buy a bottle of drink on the way back to calm down...

"Too bad," Hitomi Shiranui quickly understood, "You two have forgotten about Misaka-san, she is very disappointed."

"It can't be our fault!" Kamijou Touma said, "I really want to restore my memory too!"

Hitomi Shiranui thought for a while: "There is a limit to what I can do, but I can ask Shokuhou-san to help, she must be very happy to let me owe her a favor!"

"Shokuhou-san? Who is it?" Kamijou Touma asked.

"It's one of the strongest superpowers in Academy City, 'Psychological Mastery'. It can be said that she is the person most likely to cure you now."

"Really? That's really please!" Kamijou Touma knelt on the bed, a standard doge seat.

Because of the loss of memory, and Misaka Mikoto who just left is also a level 5 superpower, so in the concept of Kamijou Toumaji, it seems that it is not too difficult to move a level 5.

This level of etiquette should be enough, right? Kamijou Touma thought to himself, and then he became worried again, is his savings enough to pay the thank-you gift for the help?
