Academy City's Puppet Master

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 all the life experiences of the boy Ling Xingye in his 17 years.

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 a cosplay.

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, memory is visualized 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!"

===Chapter 54 Memory Recovery===

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

"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, every two weeks we will be like you. In this way, each other backs 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. listen."

"Can you still do 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 Bar?"

"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?"

"Yes."

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.
