Chapter 497 "The Whispers of the Inner Demon" Behind Super Memory
The man answered with almost no hesitation.
But it was this unthinking answer that made Jiang Qian feel deeply for a moment.
In Jiang Qian's impression, he didn't have much contact with his father, so that his concept of family affection almost entirely came from Teacher Tang, his sister and his aunt; especially after the "accident" that year, he had a lot of problems when he was growing up. The role of father is completely missing, and even his mother's participation is very thin.
Therefore, Jiang Qian maintains a certain degree of alienation and wariness towards any older men who appear in his life.
For example, his promoter Lan Junxian, the rebellious Bear Team, Ji Ming who got something for nothing, etc... He is good at doing superficial things and keeping a distance, but truly getting closer requires long-term observation and contact.
In contrast, the "remnant soul" in front of him, whom he had only met for a few minutes, gave him a special sense of intimacy.
This feeling made him confused and curious.
After a few thoughts rose and fell, he could no longer tell whether his judgment was objective enough.
"Are you satisfied with this answer?"
The man looked at the silent Jiang Qian, raised the corners of his mouth, and pointed at his empty wrist: "Pay attention to the time."
He was reminding Jiang Qian of the existence of the "countdown".
Jiang Qian suddenly came back to his senses. After taking a deep breath, he asked his second question:
"What happened in the God War thirteen years ago?"
What this question explores is still the deepest secret in the world. At the same time, it is also the only way for Jiang Qian to explore the cause of his father's death! Whether it's Jiang Xuesong or Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo.
"Haha, good question!"
The man sitting by the campfire clapped his hands and applauded. The smile on his face was like the warm sun in winter, but there was a sharp look in his eyebrows: "This is a long story, and it can't be finished in a few minutes."< br>
Jiang Qian was startled.
But the other party changed the topic and said with a deep smile: "In fact, I have told you the answer in advance, but you have never discovered it yet."
Already told me? I never noticed... Jiang Qian became more and more confused the more he listened.
Is this guy really talking properly?
"Don't believe it? Please recall carefully. Did you already have special abilities before entering the super-species world?" The man continued to guide.
Jiang Qian's eyes gradually focused: "After the accident that year, I did have some abnormal changes, such as... memory."
"Photographic memory." The man said concisely.
"It can be said that," Jiang Qian continued to recall, "not only my memory, but also my observation skills are different from ordinary people. In addition, I am also weak in the perception of emotions such as fear, sadness, and guilt, which makes me obviously different from children of the same age."
"Well," the man nodded thoughtfully, "under the premise of super memory, the lack of some negative emotions will make you highly focused, and the advantage of observation will naturally be reflected."
"Is there any problem with this?" Jiang Qian frowned.
He wanted to know what the other party meant by deliberately mentioning these things.
The man smiled freely: "This is my gift to you!"
"?" Jiang Qian was puzzled.
"Your ability to have a photographic memory comes from the 'Legendary Letters', a clerical prop that I collected. I used it to record the causes and consequences of the war between gods, and put it into your consciousness space, which is where you store massive memories. From then on From then on, you begin to bear the side effects of this item: you cannot forget anything that appears in your perception and imagination. ”
What? Is it true that my extraordinary memory is a side effect of the priestly items? Absolutely amazing. Fortunately, I am weak to fear, sadness, and guilt, otherwise I would have suffered all these years... Unknowingly, Jiang Qian had relaxed his guard against the man in front of him, and began to follow the information provided by the other party, and go deeper. Thinking:
"Wait a minute, you said it records the causes and consequences of the War of Gods, but wasn't this legendary letter already implanted in my memory before the War of Gods? It's understandable that it records the 'causes', but the 'consequences' are not Where did it start? ”
"You will understand after you have seen it."
"So, where did you hide it?" Jiang Qian became more urgent.
The man stared at Jiang Qian with his deep eyes: "Are you sure you want to see it? Knowing the truth will only make you more miserable."
Unfortunately...
Jiang Qian chewed these two words and inevitably felt a sense of separation. He never even felt that he had been "unfortunate".
Although he experienced a major accident when he was young and lost his father, he did not lack love and attention in his life.
The knowledgeable teacher Tang returned to his old career for him when he was old and was a strict parent who helped him understand the world and master the rules; the fashionable and adventurous aunt not only makes dark dishes, but also acts as a spice for the family atmosphere; Jiang Yang's disgust and oppression at every turn inspired his yearning and pursuit of power; his sister's gracefulness and agility broke his blind spot on the relationship between the sexes, and also soothed his extreme and violent temper...
Obviously, his life has not been smooth sailing, but it definitely cannot be called "unfortunate".
"I'm sure." Jiang Qian replied.
The word "unfortunately" was not enough to deter him from his determination to face his inner demons.
"Okay, it's your choice."
The man nodded slowly, with admiration and a hint of imperceptible regret in his eyes. Guidance:
"First, return to your conscious space, imagine your huge memory palace, try to visualize it, get close to it, and overlook the overall situation..."
Jiang Qian closed his eyelids, and while his thoughts went deep into his heart, his spiritual vision quietly opened to alert him to his own safety.
The process is effortless.
In fact, Jiang Qian often looks at his vast memory reserves from a similar perspective. The volume of his memory materials has long surpassed the concept of a "palace", and is more like a vast ocean that cannot be seen at a glance...
“What next?”
"Looking for the source of massive memories."
The man said:
"That is the memory area when the accident happened that year. It is your most vague memory. Lock it and the 'legendary letter' is hidden there."
Hearing this, Jiang Qian was overjoyed!
If he were to rummage through the vast amount of memories, it would not be something that could be done in a moment. His time did not allow it.
But Jiang Qian is always concerned about the areas in his memory that are not clear enough. As soon as there are clues, he will immediately retrieve them for comparison.
Just like the last time he experienced "Whispering Demons", he extracted his father's last words at the time of the accident in the "Decision" part of the film. Although the reliability of the last words still needs to be studied...
Time was running out at this moment, and Jiang Qian had it at his fingertips and quickly anchored the target area.
The concrete projection in the consciousness space is rows of tall and sophisticated file storage cabinets. All file cabinets are neatly arranged according to established coding rules, waiting to be retrieved at any time.
"I'm here, where is the letter?"
"You have to find it out by yourself. It's your consciousness space projection. I can only help you get here."
"On my own...what do you mean?" Jiang Qian couldn't help but frown.
Within the vision of the spirit vision, the man's smile was still calm and gentle: "It is hidden in a place that you would never notice in daily life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have discovered it until now. Don't stare at me, your time is limited. ”
Jiang Qian was stunned. Can the other party sense his spiritual vision?
This is understandable, after all, he knows very little about the Dragon God's methods.
"Let me think about it." No longer relying on external forces, Jiang Qian focused on the dense filing cabinets in front of him and began to concentrate on solving problems.
What would I never notice on a daily basis?
All the memories stored in this area are related to the vague memories from the accident that year. Most of the contents have been retrieved many times. If there were any doubts, I should have discovered them long ago.
But the "Legendary Letter" is hidden in it...
What else have I overlooked?
It is related to the vague memory of the accident, but also the memory that I have ignored for a long time and has never been doubted... There is it!
When Jiang Qian suddenly had an idea, he quickly landed in front of a huge locker and pulled out a pull box in the corner.
As the box was opened, the memory contents passed by like light and shadow, until the last page at the bottom recorded Jiang Qian's "fact of survival" - Jiang Qian survived the accident that year.
This was the only thing that, as "Jiang Qian", he had never doubted.
At least that was the case until today...
He grabbed it with a heavy heart and concentrated on it. The illusory light and shadow attached to the memory dispersed, revealing a thin blank piece of paper.
Jiang Qian tried to check its prop properties, but found nothing.
When I was confused, there were hidden words in the blank space slowly emerging, as if someone was writing a chapter——
……
"My son:"
……
Jiang Qian's breathing became heavier and he continued to read eagerly...
"When you read this letter, I will have been out of my mind for nine days."
"Rather than the name you are familiar with, I want to call you: Yunzhuo!"
"Yun Zhuo... This is the name your mother and I jointly chose for you. May you be able to love yourself and be as free as a cloud."
……
……
……
"You are my son. I have feelings for you, and it is difficult for me to have murderous intentions."
……
……
……
"I'm sorry!"
"This late confession is too late to tell you in person, I hope it's not too late now."
"Even if my fate is unshakable, I still deserve to die."
……
……
……
The letter is very long.
Jiang Qian froze in place, his eyes widened, and his pupils contracted from time to time.
In the process of extracting the content of the "Legendary Letter", his heart beat faster and his face became paler, until cold sweat seeped out from his forehead, and fine beads of sweat fell in strings, sliding down his face...
The content of this letter had a strong impact on and distorted his worldview!
He was deeply shaken by this and was unable to recover, so much so that he did not notice the update prompt of the hidden mission:
[Hidden mission: Explore "Screening Room No. 0" and complete the hidden viewing mission (3/3)]
[Task judgment: Completed. 】
The strange thing is that although the hidden mission has been judged to be completed, Jiang Qian did not receive a return command.
The only change was that the "countdown" device in his field of vision disappeared.
"Huh...huh..."
In the turbid vision, the bonfire not far away was still swaying, and the originally strong orange-red firelight had faded into a faint blue.
The man sitting by the fire remained motionless, looking calmly at the young man who was in a strong emotional reaction. After a long time, he said: "It seems that the truth has had a big impact on you."
Jiang Qian still lowered his head and panted, but did not respond.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the man asked tentatively: "Are you still conscious?"
Still silent.
"Okay..."
The man sighed, glanced at the bonfire that was about to go out, and murmured to himself: "This kind of thing does take some time to digest. I'll send you out first."
As soon as he finished speaking...
"Slow!"
At this time, Jiang Qian finally raised his pale face, his eyes were bloodshot and he was dripping with cold sweat. His condition was extremely bad, as if he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The man looked at Jiang Qian curiously, as if waiting for his next step.
The fire beside the two of them was still burning slowly.
"I remember... there is one last chance to ask questions."
The man was slightly startled, seemingly a little surprised by Jiang Qian's normal verbal logic and mental state: "After reading the content of the letter, do you still have any doubts?"
"Yes."
But I saw Jiang Qian panting while taking out objects from his arms: the "dream catcher" harvested from the No. 1 screening room, the "dagger" brought out from the No. 2 screening room...
When he took out the third object - a box covered with mysterious runes to store seven demon clones, the man's originally calm eyes suddenly froze!
This obvious change in expression was obviously within Jiang Qian's field of vision.
"My last question..."
