The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 44: memory palace



"Are you okay?" Ling Xingye was still very worried, staring closely at the eyes of the girl in his arms.

Hitomi Shiranui blinked mischievously at him, and quickly regained her vitality: "It's okay, I have sealed the information in isolation, there will be no risk at all."

At this time, Teacher Xiaomeng still worried: "Is there really no problem? It's better to go to the hospital for an examination. Although the teacher doesn't understand what the magic you are talking about, even if it is the memory of ordinary people, It's not something that can be read casually...Prying directly at other people's memories at will may have a negative impact on one's own memory and even personality..."

Her words are by no means alarmist, but the "lessons learned" from the ability development of Academy City.

Hitomi Shiranui thanked the teacher for his kindness: "It's okay, I won't have any problems. Because mine is 'memory construction'!"

Steele yelled: "Enough is enough, your farce should be over. Facts have proved that scientific means are meaningless, let's go!"

"Wait, who said it's useless?" Hitomi Shiranui interrupted his words sternly.

"Is there a way?" Kamijou Touma asked hastily.

Hitomi Shiranui said: "This child is called the Catalog of Prohibited Books. I can understand that the Puritan Church used its absolute memory ability to build her into a humanoid library. Originally, I planned to help her sort out the books and materials in her mind and build a library of her own. Her own memory palace... but it doesn't seem feasible right now.

"Her brain has been tightly protected in a way that I can't understand, and she can directly attack people like me who try to read the memory."

"That's the automatic book, the 'shackle' set up to protect the list of banned books." Kanzaki explained.

"Anti-virus software and a firewall?" Misaka Mikoto said in a way she understood.

"It makes sense." Kamijou Touma nodded repeatedly.

"Isn't there still no way to do this!" Stiyl looked at her angrily.

Hitomi Shiranui raised her head and looked directly at the other party: "I just can't solve the problem. But the cause, I have already found it!"

"What is the reason!" Kanzaki heard the words, excitedly pushed the sprite away, and tightly grabbed Hitomi Shiranui's shoulder.

Stiyl snorted disdainfully, but still unconsciously glanced this way from the corner of his eyes.

Shiranui Hitomi broke free from Ling Xingye's arms, her bright eyes were shining, she looked straight at Kanzaki very seriously: "The conclusion is that the cause of disease you mentioned just now is basically a fallacy."

"What?" Kanzaki didn't react for a while.

"If Kanzaki-san hadn't lied to us just now..."

"How is it possible!" Kanzaki scolded excitedly, "How could I make fun of Index's matter!"

"...then there is no doubt that you have been deceived!" Hitomi Shiranui calmly concluded.

"Hey, do you know what you're talking about!" Stiyl's suppressed angry voice came from beside him, and the temperature around him suddenly rose, as if a flame could be ignited at any time.

Sprites silently stepped forward and stood in front of Hitomi Shiranui.

"Everyone calm down, listen to Shiranui-san's explanation first!" Kamijou Touma jumped out quickly, pointing his right hand in the direction of Stiyl, ready to intercept his flames at any time.

At the same time, Kamijou Touma looked hopefully at Hitomi Shiranui: "Hurry up and explain it! As long as you know the cause, it will not be difficult to find a cure!"

Hitomi Shiranui just paused for a moment, and was not affected by Stiyl. So she continued: "First of all, your description is full of loopholes and contradictions. The 103,000 magic books stored in the memory occupy more than 80% of the brain's capacity... The remaining 15% of the capacity can only Store a year's worth of memory?"

Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Kanzaki couldn't help repeating: "As I said just now, Index is a person with absolute memory ability, she will never forget, so everything around her will be taken care of by her in every detail." keep in mind..."

Hitomi Shiranui raised her hand to interrupt her: "No need to explain, I know what is the absolute memory ability—because I am also an absolute memory ability!"

"What!" Except for Ling Xingye, Yueyong Xiaomeng, and Index who was in a coma, everyone else present exclaimed at the same time.

"So, I can tell you with certainty that the statement just now is simply nonsense!"

"Your ability is absolute memory?" Kanzaki asked, still unable to believe it.

Hitomi Shiranui shook her head: "No, I'm a level 4 powerhouse 'memory builder', and absolute memory is my inborn trait, and it's not really a super power. You know, although it's rare, there are always absolute memory abilities in the world who?

"—occasionally known as 'hypermemory' patients with a brain disorder."

"Do you have any evidence?" Steele asked.

"That's right, Shiranui does have absolute memory ability, and he is also an expert in memory. He often gives lectures to introduce ways to exercise memory." Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng stood up to testify, "Teacher also learned a lot from your lectures. Things, your courses are very popular among our teachers circle."

Indeed, the adults in the city's schools are ordinary people without superpowers. In this case, first-class memory is probably the "ability" they are relatively easy to master. Many teachers will intentionally exercise their memory skills - which can be regarded as a kind of brain development.

Hitomi Shiranui smiled slightly, looked around the room, pointed to a book on the small bookshelf and said, "I happen to have read that book before, do you want me to retell a passage? You can choose chapters at will..."

Kanzaki stepped forward and took out the thick blue publication—it was a rather unpopular academic monograph~www.NovelMTL.com~something that almost no one except professional researchers would read.

Kanzaki, who is a magician, of course couldn't understand what was said in it.

But she opened a page at random, and after reporting the page number, Hitomi Shiranui was able to recite it immediately, and the content was exactly the same!

Even if you have read this book specifically, you will not remember it so firmly.

After reciting a few paragraphs, Shiranui Tong looked back at Ling Xingye, who was stunned for a moment, and then continued to recite—also accurately!

"Wait!" Misaka Mikoto yelled, "Could it be that Xingye also has absolute memory ability."

Kanzaki and Stiyl looked at him strangely, and suddenly felt that this absolute memory ability is too cheap...

"No," Ling Xingye stopped, shook his head and denied, "My memory ability was acquired through training—specifically, it was the memory palace that Tong helped me build."

"Memory Palace?" Kanzaki and Stiyl asked.

"It's a method of memory, the trick." Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng explained, "It probably means to build your own 'palace' in your mind, abstract the information that needs to be remembered, and turn it into a three-dimensional graphic, as a building. Materials to build a palace. Afterwards, analyze each brick and tile, and you will be able to read the content of the original memory."

"It is said that building a memory palace is also the special skill of Shiranui-senpai, and many people in our school are trying to learn it." Misaka Mikoto also said.

Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl no longer doubted - after all, other than Kamijou Touma had no reason to deceive them.

In this way, it seems that this girl named Shiranui really has the same absolute memory ability as Index!
