Memory inheritor

Chapter 185 Anchor Point

Chapter 185 Anchor Point (Part 1)

Wei Hongsi suddenly opened his eyes, feeling his heart pounding violently. The sound traveled from his chest to his skull, sounding like a drumbeat in his ears.

The blood vessels at the back of my neck expand and contract with my heartbeat, bringing waves of throbbing pain. This sensation radiates to my head, causing a throbbing pain in my temples.

He was breathing heavily, and after a while, his heart rate gradually calmed down.

He slowly sat up from the bed, feeling extremely tired, as if he had just run 20,000 meters. His cotton T-shirt was completely soaked with sweat.

It was still dark outside the window, with only the dim yellow glow of the streetlights.

He got out of bed, took off his clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

As the warm water poured over him and the steam gradually filled the bathroom, the scene of the murder in the bathroom involuntarily surfaced in his mind. The whole process was crystal clear, and he could even vividly recall the posture of the victim when he fell.

Wei Hongsi's body trembled uncontrollably. He felt a wave of dizziness and thought he was about to fall. He quickly reached out and braced himself against the tiled wall in front of him.

A line of text emitting a green glow suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Strive to become someone who contributes to humanity!

Upon seeing this line of text, Wei Hongsi was momentarily stunned.

Since the "system" was first upgraded, this line of ghostly text that had accompanied him for many years had never appeared again, and seeing it for the first time gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

As the ghostly writing disappeared from his sight, his mind calmed down, his body stopped trembling, and his spirits improved considerably.

After taking a shower and changing into some dry, comfortable clothes, he filled a cup with warm water in the makeshift kitchen and added some sugar and a pinch of salt.

The sweet and salty water tasted a bit strange, but it could quickly replenish his electrolytes.

After finishing his water, he sat down at the corner table and looked at his phone on the table. It was 4:20 a.m. He had slept for almost eight hours.

Seeing the metal whistle on the bookshelf, he couldn't help but smile wryly. This skill was definitely worth the investment; the amount of information he gained was almost frightening.

But fear solves nothing, and it's impossible to pretend nothing happened.

Clearly, from the beginning, things came to him, rather than him going out of his way to get involved. That's why the "system," or rather his second personality, guided him to investigate the relevant matters; there was no point in trying to avoid them.

Wei Hongsi woke up his computer, created a mind map template, and then wrote down the first question on it.

Did Uncle Zhang recruit me into the Light Guide Society?

The answer should be no. The recovered memory fragments contained no symbols of the Light Guide Society, no creed-like statements, and absolutely no information related to the Light Guide Society.

Does one's own brain have a "circuit breaker mechanism"?

The answer is still no. Otherwise, it would be impossible to type these words on a computer; the "circuit breaker mechanism" would prevent any form of leakage of critical information.

However, Wei Hongsi believes that something like a subconscious firewall must have existed in his brain.

Only in this way can we ensure that even when he is talking in his sleep, he will not reveal the things that Uncle Zhang told or did to him.

This thing probably doesn't exist anymore, and it's hard to say exactly when it became invalid.

It was possibly when the "system" first appeared and displayed ghostly text. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old then, practically an adult, and according to Uncle Zhang's words in the memory fragments, he could begin to integrate those experiences.

It could also be from when I met that energetic older man last month and heard him blow his whistle. Perhaps that was what Uncle Zhang meant by "guidance"?

It's also possible that it was after redeeming the whistle skill yesterday.

Although things like the "system" and skill exchange are just information exchanges between him and his second personality, it cannot be ruled out that this is an effective way to bypass the subconscious firewall.

If that's the case, this method could be used to break the "fuse-off mechanism" of the light guide association.

Wei Hongsi wrote down this idea and then wrote down the third question.

Who exactly is Uncle Zhang, and is he connected to the Light Guide Society?

No matter how you look at it, Uncle Zhang doesn't seem like a good person. Who teaches a child how to kill someone from behind? Especially in Country C!

This is clearly an attempt to train him to be an assassin or spy, with extremely malicious intent and sinister motives, and it seriously affects the healthy growth of the nation's youth.

This person possesses similar methods to those of the Light Guide Society, enabling him to implant memory fragments into the brain, which he calls "life experiences."

The strangely shaped chair seen at the end of the memory fragment, even if it is not the "cabin" in Mu Jie's dream narrative, is a device with similar function.

Previously, the task force and experts were misled by the "soft and flawless white light" in the dream narrative, thinking it was the light emitted by the "pod" during operation. In fact, that light only existed in the consciousness of the person being indoctrinated, rather than being an externally presented state.

Wei Hongsi recalled that the day after witnessing the mentally ill man's death in a car accident, he dreamed of Uncle Zhang wearing a fisherman's hat. The dream was very vague and contained very little information, but the scene in the dream should be the environment he saw when the memory indoctrination ended.

So there are probably two possibilities.

Uncle Zhang is a member of the Guiding Light Society, but he harbors ulterior motives and is secretly cultivating his own power.

This possibility likely exists. Even with the Light Guide's tight control over its members, oversights are not insurmountable. This might also explain why Uncle Zhang suddenly died in a car accident; it's highly probable that the Light Guide discovered his presence and eliminated him.

But Uncle Zhang is definitely not alone, because there are many things he cannot do alone, and he must have accomplices.

For example, the mentally challenged Uncle Han Tao's appearance was supposed to take over Uncle Zhang's task of awakening or guiding, but for some reason, he had an accident that caused his mind to become impaired.

His fate was the same as Uncle Zhang's, which further proves that both of their deaths were intentionally planned by the Guiding Light Society.

Uncle Zhang is not a member of the Light Guide Society; he belongs to another organization.

This possibility is clearly greater, and more terrifying. If such an organization exists, its methods and technologies are in no way inferior to, and may even be more advanced than, the Light Guide Society.

The thought that he had been targeted by this organization since childhood and had come into their sights made Wei Hongsi feel a chill run down his spine.

If it weren't so early, he would have called his parents to ask how they were taking care of the child, and how they could let their child go to other people's houses to play.
