novelModifying Little Deeny's Memories
| ← Ch.438 | Ch.440 → |
Even though Su Yang was very interested in that method, he still wanted to reconfirm since it would involve Little Deeny."Will it affect you in any way?"
Little Deeny shook his head."No, it won't. It's like a computer's virtual machine. I'm only adding a new set of systems to my "program". In fact, I'm the 1 handling all the operations."
Su Yang pondered for a while but did not understand.
'Anyway, if Little Deeny says that it's fine, then it's fine. '
With that thought in mind, Su Yang said to Little Deeny, "Let's get started then."
Little Deeny rolled over on the bed, went to the window and sat down. 'Well... Luckily she's wearing pants, otherwise it would have been awkward. '
After sitting up, Little Hong walked to Little Deeny's side from the door. Then, Little Deeny's eyes slowly turned blue and a stream of data began to flash inside.
Very soon, the stream of data in Little Deeny's eyes disappeared and she said to Su Yang, "All done. Master, you can control Little Hong's memory now. I have transferred all my memories from yesterday into her head and turned her into an independent virtual machine."
Su Yang asked, "In that case, would she be able to speak or give any reactions?"
Little Deeny shook his head."She won't be able to neither react nor speak. However, I'll be able to check if you would like to know whether the memory modification worked."
Su Yang nodded his head. 'That's interesting. '
He picked up the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] and tapped it 3 times with his fingers. Immediately, a notification popped up before him. [Are you sure you want to use the Memory Master ability?]
[Yes]
[Please choose your target. ]
As the notification popped up, time suddenly stopped like someone had pressed the pause button!
Everything in the room was still. Even Little Deeny, who was looking at Su Yang curiously with her head slanted, lost the focus in her eyes.
As time stopped, Little Deeny and Little Hong each had a light icon on their bodies. Obviously, Su Yang could now adjust their memories.
Su Yang clicked on Little Hong's icon and a notification popped up in front of him. [Are you sure you want to select this?]
Su Yang confirmed.
A moment later, another notification popped up before him. [Doppelganger with no independent consciousness detected. The target will automatically be transferred to the real entity. ]
Su Yang's surroundings suddenly turned dark followed by the notification and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only Su Yang and Little Deeny at where they stood.
A screen filled with images appeared before Su Yang which looked like an editing station.
Another notification popped up in front of him. [Advanced Film And Television Post Production Ability detected. Obtained Level 4 clearance. ]
At the same time, something that seemed like a badge appeared before Su Yang.
The badge was made of bronze and looked like a police badge. There was a Roman number I on it, following that, there was the sound of metal clashing. The Roman number I on the badge instantly shattered, followed by the number II and III appearing and shattering as well until finally... the number IV slowly formed on the badge.
'IV, that means Level 4.
'I wonder what kind of authority this level has. '
Su Yang clicked on the badge and a description appeared in front of him. [For every level increased, you will have an extra 12 hours of memory that can be edited, 1 hour of memory editing, 1 chance of memory recovery and 5 memory storage spaces. ]
It was a simple explanation, but it was clear.
Su Yang did some calculations. 'Right now, I have Level 4 clearance. I can edit Little Deeny for 4*12 hours, which gives me a total of 48 hours. In other words, I'm able to edit 2 day's worth of anyone's memory.
'Other than that, I have 4 hours of memory editing, 4 memory recovery opportunities, and 20 memory storage spaces.
[Memory Editing] would refer to the total time that Su Yang could use to edit someone's memory. Within those 2 hours, he could edit countless people's memories or just 1 person's memory.
As for [Memory Recovery], If Su Yang had edited someone else's memory and regretted it, he could choose to recover that person's memory.
20 [Memory Storage Space] can be used during [Memory Editing]. If there was a particular memory or memory fragment that Su Yang wanted to preserve, he could place the memory into the [Memory Storage Space].
Since a person's memory is based on a first-person perspective, they would not be able to see themselves, so the memories that were placed in the [Memory Storage Space] could be used on others to give them false memories.
Generally speaking, it was a very powerful and awesome ability. As expected of an ability that was on a Godlike level!
'There are many ways to edit a memory. It can be inserted, replicated, cropped, or even edited. All in all, it's no different from the core of the [Film And Television Post Production Ability]. '
Su Yang looked at Little Deeny's memory and scrolled through it as he prepared himself to give it a try. As he had the [Memory Recovery] function, Su Yang was not worried about any irreversible consequences. After all, he could recover Little Deeny's memories after the experiment.
As he scrolled through her memories, Su Yang realized that Little Deeny's memory material was really huge. She had 7 doppelgangers, 8 including herself. Those 8 bodies had different memories every minute and second. Little Lu had even accidentally caught Little Hus secretly taking some meat from the fridge.
'But... Why's Little Hus taking meat out of the fridge? It can't even eat... '
Putting that thought to the back of his mind, Su Yang continued to flip through the pages. Little Deeny's 8 bodies had really done a lot of things. Some were patrolling the courtyard, some were studying, some were researching and some were dealing with disputes between the monsters. In any case, they were extremely busy.
As someone who only had 1 brain and could not multitask, Su Yang really could not understand how a person could control 8 bodies and handle all kinds of things separately. 'Could she really be controlling it like how I'm controlling my limbs as she said?'
After some thought, Su Yang still could not understand what was going on. 'In the end, I suppose I can only draw 1 conclusion... Little monsters can't be judged through common sense. '
As Su Yang lamented, he scrolled through the memories that were as long as half a month. After flipping for a while, he saw... Little Deeny taking a shower.
Little Deeny had walked into the bathroom after removing all her clothes. Then, she slowly slid into the bathtub...
Su Yang was startled.
Su Yang felt awkward when he saw that scene!
He swore to God that he did not want to see this part of his memory!
Who knew that the memory would appear before him so coincidentally?
'However... It seems like this memory has the least effect on Little Deeny.
'Should I try using this memory fragment for my experiment?'
With that thought in mind, Su Yang finished watching that part of the memory and began [Memory Editing].
He first cut out Little Deeny's memory from the moment she entered the bathroom and then placed it in the [Memory Storage Space]. Then, he pieced together Little Deeny's broken memory and added a transition effect. As a result, Little Deeny's amended memory would be of her walking to the bathroom door before she stopped and left.
After doing all that, Su Yang looked at the countdown timer on the upper right corner of the screen which showed [186:13]. 'Have I taken 1 hour for the [Memory Editing] unknowingly?'
Su Yang thought about it. 'I should've been using most of my time to scroll through her memories. I suppose that's understandable. '
Without wasting any more time, Su Yang exited the [Memory Editing] mode.
As Su Yang exited the [Memory Editing] mode, everything else returned to normal.
Little Deeny said to Su Yang, "Master, don't worry. Changing Little Hong's memory won't affect me."
Su Yang coughed twice and said, "It's already done."
Little Deeny was surprised."You're done modifying it?"
Su Yang nodded."Yes."
Little Deeny's intelligence was getting higher and higher, and she immediately reacted."Time stopped, am I right?"
Su Yang nodded again and explained, "Not only did time stop, I've even managed to trace back to the source this time."
"Trace back to the source?"
"That's right. What I meant is, since your doppelganger isn't an individual entity and doesn't have an independent mind, I've been able to edit your memory directly since you're the main body."
Little Deeny said in surprise, "Then, has my memory been altered?"
Su Yang nodded."Yes, your memory has been altered."
Little Deeny blinked, and then her eyes turned a deep blue. Numerous codes ran up and down her eyes. After a moment, she said in surprise, "Master, you've erased the memory of me bathing?"
Su Yang was shocked!
"How did you know?!"
Little Deeny looked at Su Yang weirdly and explained, "Master, my memory is different from normal being. Normal beings might have blurry memories, but mine is full of data, so I can look through it at any time. That's also why I'm able to learn things so quickly."
Su Yang glanced at Little Deeny."Then, how did you discover that something was wrong?"
Little Deeny said, "Because in my memory, I thought that I was going to take a shower before I went into the toilet. Then, I thought that I had taken a shower after I came out. However, I'm missing the part where I was actually showering. Therefore, I've been able to easily conclude that the part of me taking a shower has been deleted."
Su Yang rubbed his chin and pondered. 'If it's so easy to be discovered, wouldn't this ability be a little useless?'
Perhaps noticing Su Yang's confusion, Little Deeny said, "Master, you don't have to worry. My memory is different from normal beings. Why don't you try calling it yourself? You've been playing with Chu Xia in the villa for a whole day today. Can you really remember how many sentences you said or everything that you've done?"
Su Yang tried to recall. Even though it had just happened, Su Yang could not remember it clearly. Or rather, he could not remember what had happened in detail.
'If someone had actually done something to my memory such as deleting a part of my memory, I probably wouldn't notice it or probably even think that I had remembered wrongly.
'This... Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.
'I guess this ability does seem really scary to other beings besides Little Deeny... '
Just as the 2 of them were chatting about the new ability of the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass], Little Deeny suddenly raised her head and said to Su Yang, "Master, Sanque is back."
'Sanque has returned?'
Su Yang looked at the time. 'It's only 8:30 pm. There's still time before I go to Tang Jing's place. So... It seems I'll be able to give Sanque the [Bronze Ability Enhancement Voucher]!'
