Chapter 29: The “Levels” of Memory

"What? Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?"

A pair of hands slammed violently on the table, which symbolized the highest power on this planet. The owner of these hands could only be one person.

The Great Guardian Cocolia.

Cocolia looked at the report in front of her. She would rather her eyes were seeing things, or the intelligence officer in front of her accidentally filled in an extra zero for the number.

Just when she came back to deal with Beloberg's political affairs, just half a day later, an unprecedented riot of Rift Creatures occurred in the Iron Guard restricted area. This was a common occurrence, but another person and one thing in the report made her pay attention.

According to on-site tests conducted by explorers and intelligence personnel, Yaoluo's stunning blow changed the length of the map by a full five centimeters on today's Beloberg map.

According to Beloberg's map conversion system, the impact of this attack almost penetrated the entire Reverberation Corridor and approached the Eternal Winter Ridge outside the city.

Even Kokolia, who had long known about Yaoluo's incredibleness, couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw the data, making a contribution to Beloberg's climate warming.

"It is absolutely true, Your Excellency the Great Guardian. When we saw this scene, we also felt as if we were dreaming, but it is true. Your Excellency Yao Luo's actions have created great prestige within the Silver Mane Iron Guard. When we arrived there, a group of Iron Guards had already sent Your Excellency Yao Luo to a safe place and treated him with the highest standard of etiquette in the army."

The messenger who delivered the information wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. For a man who had seen many storms and waves like him, when he witnessed the scene with his own eyes, the fountain pen handed down from his ancestors for surveying and mapping almost fell to the ground.

"Get ready. I'm going to the camp to check out the post-war situation myself." After a little hesitation, Cocolia made a decision.

...............

In the darkness, glimmers of consciousness quietly awaken.

Yao Luo's spirit transformed into a fish swimming in the water and came to this space that belonged to him.

In the space, the fragment of [Memory] ability is located in the center of the space, emitting endless brilliance, illuminating the entire world.

Above the fragments, three golden lights were like the sun rising in the sky, which could be seen from afar but could not be touched.

Beneath the fragments, the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire and the Star of Eden stood guard on both sides.

In between the two, the faint pioneering destiny shines as a tiny star in the light, emitting its own light.

"I don't know when this space has become lively," Yao Luo sighed. Since coming to this world, many related scenes and memories have been recorded in his space.

In this space that belongs to him, he can look around and recall it at will, and even pull it out and ponder it over and over again like watching a movie.

"Liuguang Yiting is indeed a good metaphor." Looking at the memory space in front of him, Yao Luo made a positive evaluation.

The layers of crystal walls reflected Yao Luo's figure. When Yao Luo focused his attention, the picture appeared on the crystal wall.

Yao Luo waved his right hand to the left, and the memory crystal wall that served as the background replayed in detail the series of events that happened before he fell into a coma, just like turning the pages of a book.

Memory is the source of his power, and reproduction is the tool to turn it into a means. This replay and repeated understanding of memory can deepen his understanding of this ability and reduce its consumption.

Recalling the experience of coming to Beloberg, after the initial panic and confusion, Yao Luo did not actually encounter too much difficulty during this period. With the help of the Star of Eden given by Walter, the level of power he could mobilize could be said to have widened the gap with most people on this planet, resulting in no impressive memories worth Yao Luo's recollection so far.

On the contrary, it was the brief stimulation of the experience on the space station that enabled the then weak Yao Luo to develop and use his abilities in a very short period of time, creating many more memory light cones than he does now.

Yao Luo held his head in his hands, closed his eyes and thought about the cause of the matter. After floating in this space that belonged to him for a long time, "What I lack is the excitement and tension of the life-and-death situation before."

The area of ​​the human brain responsible for memory will periodically and at fixed points discard unnecessary memories like cleaning up garbage. Most things cannot occupy a long-term place in a person's memory.

What you eat in the morning or at noon, how many times you comb your hair, or how many times you drink water during the day.

And this kind of short-lived memory is considered "inferior" in Yao Luo's space.

When people experience things like car accidents, kidnappings, or some extreme sports, the high secretion of adrenaline and various hormones in the body will make the body remember the feeling, and the human brain will also work like never before in this situation.

What Yao Luo needs is this kind of "long-term memory".

As a technological entity, Beloberg did not far exceed Yao Luo's imagination. Whether it was the environment, art, or the people and things here, it did not cause much stimulation and impact on Yao Luo, who had just arrived. Here, what he thought about most was probably how to meet up with his companions on the train.

In fact, Yao Luo could completely stay out of the issue of the star core and quietly wait for the arrival of the Star Dome Train. After all, this city that has suffered from crisis for thousands of years will not be different because of the difference in one or two years. The people who died in this city have nothing to do with him. He does not live here, and he will leave the planet as soon as the matter is over. He can make some false efforts to win the trust and respect of the people and live a happy life while waiting.

But, is this really right?

He failed to live up to Walter's expectations, failed to live up to Cocolia's trust, and failed to live up to his own inner thoughts and will.

Yao Luo knew that when he did that, power would turn against him.

Yao Luo's conscience told him that a poor man should take care of himself, while a rich man should help the world. When he walked out of Xiluwa's mechanical house, he was already prepared, ready to fight the star core to the end.

He will crush the invasion of the Rift again and again and isolate the enemy outside the city wall. If it fails once, he will try it twice. If it fails twice, he will try it three times, until his will and strength are enough to crush the star core.

Yao Luo opened his eyes. He was ready.

What came into view was a familiar face, with golden hair hanging down gently and falling on Yao Luo's face, making him feel a little itchy.

Zi Zi's eyes were a little evasive, and he even swayed left and right in panic, not daring to look Yao Luo in the eye.

A jade hand reached out to Yao Luo's mouth, and a handkerchief dipped in water was moisturizing his dry lips.

Suddenly, the close distance between the two created an unclear atmosphere, making Yao Luo feel uncomfortable all over.

"Lord Cocolia, I have already submitted the damage report for the camp... um..."

A figure walked in hurriedly, with short dark purple hair, neat bangs, and round glasses that gave off a scholarly vibe. It was none other than Pella.

When she saw the situation of the two people, she was speechless for a moment.

"Um, am I here at the wrong time?"
