"If I'm really stupid enough to accidentally lose my memory completely without preparing any other means to save the situation - I don't want to look back on such a stupid life." Troy's expression looked quite serious, although he said
This is a ridiculous statement, but it makes people feel that it is completely from the bottom of his heart:
"Although I have lost my memory, my personality will not change. From my past perspective, I can only conclude that it is [I want to experience a new life] as my motivation."
"Okay..." Zhang Ke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There is really only a thin line between genius and madness, and then asked, "So, you entered Ye Suling's university and became a doctoral student under Professor Yuan?"
"Of course, it wasn't easy to get in right away. I also went to various places. Finally, I got a recommendation ticket, so I became Professor Yuan's favorite student and began to explore the Chinese cultural relics that I was particularly interested in at the time...
"
"By the way, why do you suddenly have such a strong interest in historical archaeology? Doesn't it have nothing to do with the field you were good at in the past?" Zhang Ke asked strangely.
"Who said that liking and being good at are the same thing? Maybe I just got tired of studying in the scientific field, so I wanted to change my taste." Troy said, "There was nothing to talk about for a long time, it was just a peaceful college life.
, Ye Suling should have told you a lot, until Chunshen ruins started to be excavated——"
Zhang Ke sat up straight, knowing that the important point was probably coming.
"Do you still remember what I told you about the tripod I held in my hand when I escaped from the cave? I checked the information afterwards and found that I woke up from the Chunshen ruins, and the thing I took out was probably
The sacred object of the Qingtian Sect at that time was the Lingtai Kongming Cauldron." Troy said:
"I guess this is a hint left by my past self to me now, asking me to spend more energy exploring that site and finding the secrets about this tripod. So after hearing about the excavation and mining project of Chunshen Ruins, Yuan
When the professor team fully cooperated to support me, I was very happy and worked hard."
"It's a pity that a subsequent explosion ruined the efforts of many people, and even the Lingtai Kongming Cauldron disappeared." At this point, Troy shook his head and sighed. Zhang Ke understood that this naturally led to Yuan Qiushi's final disappearance.
That explosion.
"But fortunately, my research on the Lingtai Kongming Cauldron has already produced preliminary results, and through it I have discovered the deep hidden secrets of this world. Although it is still far from the core of the truth, it is just trivial, but once it is published, it will be
It’s a statement that is enough to shock the world.”
"What is that..." Zhang Ke couldn't help but ask curiously. Although he knew that Troy said this deliberately to whet his appetite, his strong curiosity still made him take the bait.
"The specific conclusions are kept secret for the time being. It will not be good for you to know too early, but I can show you one of the finished products I created based on these research results."
Troy stood up and pointed at the device that looked like a VR experience machine in the corner of the room.
"I named it the Dream Sea Submersible Device. Put on the hood and start the preset program. It can help you immerse yourself in the memories of the past. Even the details are meticulous. No less.
It’s a common experience to go back in time and witness it firsthand.”
His smile suddenly became a little evil, like the snake that seduced Eve into swallowing the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden:
"How about it, haven't you always wanted to retrieve your past memories? Do you want to try it yourself?"
"Memories of the past..." Zhang Ke swallowed unconsciously. He had to say that Troy's words really hit his mark, "Is it really so... magical? Even the things that I can't recall at all.
Can memory also be explored?"
"Of course, as long as these memories still remain in your mind, whether it is temporarily unable to be remembered due to pathological or mental problems, you can use its power to review them again." Troy's smile became brighter and more evil.
, "The reason why I brought it is because I thought you might need it."
"But - didn't you say that you no longer want to live your previous life, so you no longer study brain science? Why are you still building this kind of instrument?" Zhang Ke asked strangely, "And the Troy in Yuan Mengmeng's memory is obviously the same person as me.
As a biology exchange student in the same major, this is no match for you to become Professor Yuan’s doctoral candidate in history.”
"Before I went to Professor Yuan, I studied in your major. After all, if I have to rely on excellent results as a springboard, is it most convenient to use my best major?" The reason Troy gave sounded far-fetched:
"As for why I returned to my old career now, it's because after obtaining some secrets through the Lingtai Cauldron, I realized that I had to resume my past research. This is related to a more confidential reason, which I can't tell you yet -
—So what do you think, come and try it quickly."
"Try...then try it."
Rather than exploring the relationship and experiences between Nangong Xihe and Troy, for Zhang Ke, what he cares about most is always his lost past, memories that he can't recall anyway, and any other topic, no matter how important or disturbing it is.
No one can be astonished as the desire to retrieve memories.
"Okay, then put on this helmet and mask first, and I will start to debug the data for you." Troy seemed very excited, his expression was like seeing a volunteered guinea pig.
"But, are the memories I watch regular? Should they be played in first-to-last order, or should they be played back first from the place that I subconsciously want to know the most?" Zhang Ke asked.
"Actually, it's not." Troy smiled, "It's completely random. With my current technology, I can't do something as precise as fixed-point playback. But although I can't anchor a specific memory fragment, at least
Being able to see the important memories that are more impressive - okay, now get rid of all the distracting thoughts in your mind, and we are going to start."
"Wait a minute, I still have questions..."
"Let's ask again after everything is over. The MR-647 fuel has been input, so the countdown is three, two, one. Start now!"
Putting on the mask, Zhang Ke's eyes flashed with a dazzling brilliance, and then he felt a little light and airy, as if his self-consciousness had traveled through the long river of time, and finally fell into one of his countless past selves:
——This was an ordinary midsummer afternoon, so ordinary that Zhang Ke could no longer remember the month of that day. He only vaguely remembered that it was a day during the summer vacation of his junior year.
Because he had to stay in the laboratory every day and record experimental data results, he did not return to his hometown during the entire summer vacation. Therefore, in addition to going back to his dormitory to play games and sleep, hanging out in the electronic markets around the school was his most commonly used entertainment method.
