People are in Xingtie, and I am their dead white moonlight?

"Ahahahahahahahaha, that's right, that's the expression~ Does a self-proclaimed omniscient "genius" also have moments of confusion?"

"Compared to the you of the past... the expression you have now is more interesting~"

"Think about it carefully. I'll tell you when I figure it out. How about it? Hahahahaha~"

The crazy laughter echoed in the office again, and Heita frowned, wondering what was wrong with his memory.

"Ms. Black Tower, I have a guess."

At this moment, Ruan Mei, who had been silent for a while, tilted her head slightly, her blue eyes looking at the black tower seriously, and then she asked softly:

"Have you ever... done anything to your memories?"

"What have I done with memories? No, I never do such things. The only time was when I made this slice-"

Having said that, Heita's face suddenly froze, and a look of disbelief flashed in his crimson-purple eyes.

"You mean—"

"That's right," Ruan Mei nodded slightly, then raised her head and continued to look at the picture on the screen.

"Perhaps... the method of making this strange object is not 'copying', but 'excision'."

Chapter 30 Black Tower: You are right, but can you delete my photo first?

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving the clothing store hand in hand on the screen, Ruan Mei said softly:

"From a biological perspective, there are only two ways in which memory can be lost."

"One is that some extreme emotions activate the brain's self-protection mechanism, automatically isolating the memory that caused the extreme emotions and causing memory loss."

"The other method is something that only those who believe in Memory can achieve. Memory's memory storage technology and the special abilities of the Incinerator..."

After saying that, Ruan Mei looked at the black tower beside her and said softly:

"Ms. Black Tower, although I can't make any definitive conclusions about your past, judging by the process of cooperation within the 'Simulated Universe'... the first scenario shouldn't happen to you."

"So, the only possible scenario now is the second one... For some reason, you found Yi Ting and collaborated with them to create this amazing artifact, the 'Kaleidoscope of the Genius' Childhood.'"

Having said that, Ruan Mei paused for a moment, took the kaleidoscope from Heita's hand, weighed it in her hand, and then continued:

"On the way here, Estelle told me... this is the first time you've used this magical item since the space station was built."

"Combining all the previous inferences, I have come up with a more reliable statement."

"Perhaps you encountered something at that time that made you intend to erase the past memories from your mind, but for some reason, you ultimately chose to let go and preserve them, and thus this strange object came into being."

"And now, due to some special reasons, this memory has found you again and reappeared before us in this way."

After hearing Ruan Mei's explanation, the Black Tower fell into a long silence, as if it was trying to retrieve fragments of memory about the past.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard this genius tried, the fragments in his mind could not be pieced together.

It feels like a puzzle that is missing the middle pieces; even if it is put together, it is not complete.

After many unsuccessful attempts, Heita finally gave up and let out a long sigh.

"...I understand what you mean," Heita said, then raised his head and looked at the screen in front of him again.

"In other words, if you keep reading, you'll understand why my past self chose to give up this part of my memory, right?"

"What kind of thing would make me choose to give up this part of my memory?"

Perhaps he had caught the "new question", the confusion and hesitation on Heita's face were instantly swept away, and replaced by "curiosity".

At this moment, she really couldn't think of anything in the universe that was worth her doing this.

And it is precisely because of this inexplicable "sense of contradiction" that Heita's interest in this matter has grown increasingly strong, and it can even be said that it is higher than the idea of ​​using Jiang Mo to expand the "knowable domain".

Almost at the same time, Ahana's laughter that had been echoing in the office finally stopped, and was replaced by a somewhat...melancholy sigh.

"Hey... Ah Ha said it at the beginning, this is just Fu Li's little trick, what does it have to do with me?"

"I just wanted to have some fun with this thing. If you want to settle the score, go find that glass-headed person. It has nothing to do with Aha~"

At this moment, Aha's tone was very normal, so normal that it surprised the two geniuses present.

However, the sea is always calm before the storm, and this sentence also applies to Aha, the god of fun.

"Ahahahaha~ Congratulations! This is truly great! 'Black Tower Actor', you finally discovered the compensation 'Director Aha' gave you~"

"You believed it, you finally believed that this was your memory. This was so hard to come by!! Ah Ha is about to cry... wuwuwuwuwu..."

Listening to the crazy sounds of crying and laughing, Heita rubbed his temples with a headache, and then sighed softly.

"...Now there are only two questions left - first, why did I give up this memory; second..."

As Heita spoke, he looked towards the figure standing in the blue light circle and whispered softly:

"If all this is true, then why is he here?"

"How could he, who's not even a Destiny Walker, survive to this day? And why did he appear in the space station? And why—"

"Ms. Black Tower."

Ruan Mei gently patted Heita's arm, interrupting Heita's barrage of questions, and then said calmly:

"Everything will be known as long as we keep watching. Be patient."

Hearing Ruan Mei's words, Heita bit his lower lip lightly, then nodded.

"...I see. Let's wait and see."

"but..."

As Heita spoke, he turned to look at Ruan Mei, who had an indifferent expression beside him, and said seriously:

"Before that, you have to delete the photos you just took secretly."

"I just..."

"Delete."

......

After leaving the clothing store, Jiang Mo took Heita to a random restaurant on the commercial street and sat down.

It seemed that because Heita rarely went out, Jiang Mo was responsible for communicating with the waiters and taking orders.

Heita, on the other hand, held his chin with one hand, quietly watching Jiang Mo who was communicating with the waiter about the specific requirements for the appetizers, and a strange thought flashed through his mind.

"I always feel like... if he's here, I don't have to think about a lot of things myself."

"It seems that from the moment he started to control my clothes, he was no longer just a tutor..."

Thinking of this, Heita was slightly stunned, as if he suddenly realized a more critical issue.

Why was Jiang Mo willing to give so much to me? Was it just because I treated him as a fellow human?

Although judging from the current situation, if the two of them continue to stay together like this, it would be an excellent combination that is mutually beneficial.

Jiang Mo can help her deal with the trivialities of life like today, and can help her do more research...

She could help Jiang Mo achieve higher academic achievements, even to the point where he could be remembered in history...

But Heita still wants to know what kind of motivation drives him to do so many things beyond his "duties"?

Thinking of this, Heita raised his head slightly, and waited until the waiter left before slowly asking:

"Jiang Mo...why do you do so much for me? Is it really just for credit points?"

Chapter 31 Black Tower Behavioral Researcher

Jiang Mo was stunned when he heard what Heita said. Just when he was about to say something... the red light curtain appeared in front of him again.

[Faced with the key questions of the Black Tower, as a "home tutor", your choice:]

1. Express your feelings freely and unrestrainedly: I miss you.

[2. Normal expression: Because I want to possess you, I want you to be my dressing doll, my toy!]

3. Riddler's rhetoric, implicit expression: Those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand don't need to understand. You will understand it yourself after "day"

Looking at the options in front of him, Jiang Mo's mouth couldn't help but tremble.

No pigeons, didn't I just mock you once? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill me right here?

Is it really that difficult? Did you know that the only difference between your normal expression and speaking your mind is the number of words?

Do you know what it means to truly speak one's mind? Truly speaking one's mind is—

Ahaha! I made you!!!

Jiang Mo was madly condemning Ah Ha's possible ancestors in his heart - even if they didn't exist, he would make one up for Ah Ha.

But soon, Jiang Mo sighed helplessly, and then wavered between choosing "obscure expression" and trying to go against the option for the first time.

However, at this "life and death" moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Jiang Mo's mind.

Why did he have to go against Aha's choice? Couldn't he just half obey and half disobey?

Anyway, Ah Ha is like that masochist, and he finds it amusing when others exploit the loopholes in his options, so it should be okay for him to do so now...

Right?

Jiang Mo shook his head slightly and chose the "normal communication" option without hesitation. Then he slowly raised his head, looked directly into those crimson purple eyes, and said softly:

"The reason is actually very simple~ because of you, Black Tower."

"Because... me?"

Heita looked at the calm-looking man in front of her in some surprise. At this moment, she didn't know how to continue the topic.

She only felt that her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated again, and the temperature on her cheeks was also rising at an unusual rate.

However, Jiang Mo didn't seem to care about this. He imitated Heita and supported his chin with one hand, looking at the girl in front of him quietly.

"To be honest, I originally became your tutor...actually I wanted to be able to use your family's connections in the future, but..."

"But after the night you told me the definition of 'the same kind', my thoughts have changed, Black Tower."

"It's okay for you to call me a kindred spirit, because I was in the same predicament as you when I was a child."

At this point, Jiang Mo paused for a moment, "How does that sentence go? 'Because I've been caught in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for those who have been through the same thing.'"

"Because of this, I plan to stay with you for a while longer."

"not to mention..."

As Jiang Mo spoke, he lifted up the bag containing the maid costume and shook it, then said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"What's more, while I'm helping you alleviate your loneliness... I can also get a dressing doll that listens to me and is my own. Why not?"

"Oh, yes, if I were to do academic research... I could get the results much faster, which would be relatively hassle-free."

"..."

Heita stared blankly at Jiang Mo who was smiling in front of her. She was a little dazed for a moment, as if she had never thought that Jiang Mo would give her such an answer.

She imagined that Jiang Mo chose to "stick to her" because it would make it easier for him to achieve academic success, and she also thought that he stayed because he "coveted" her...

But she never thought that he would stay because of the combination of these two factors.

Thinking of this, Heita slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath and whispered:

"...Is what you said true?"

"More real than Ding Zhen."

"?"

Heita glanced at Jiang Mo with some confusion as he suddenly said a new term, but soon, when she noticed Jiang Mo's extremely serious eyes... she chose to ignore it.

"Huh... So, this is the main reason why you brought me to the clothing store today? Just to let me act as your... 'changing doll'?"

Heita deliberately emphasized the last four words, as if he was teasing, but also seemed a little... dissatisfied?

It seemed as if she was somewhat dissatisfied with the name Jiang Mo gave her.

"Not entirely. This time, I'm mainly looking for custom-made suits. God knows how excited those guys at the Boshi Society will be if the "Solitary Wave Algorithm" is cracked."

"But the only thing that's certain is... we'll have a lot of meetings to attend later."
