Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

While everyone was still guessing what this thing was, Chen Xi had already finished looking at the contents of this part of the mural.

"Is it a specific upgrade method? Or something else?"

Yang Wei asked curiously.

After all, Chen Xi is currently stuck at the upgrade stage.

"No." Chen Xi shook his head. "The hyperthymesia recorded here is about its abilities."

"ability?"

"Isn't ability just about recruiting people?"

"So the information on this stone slab is essentially useless?"

The principal asked in confusion. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, as the only person present who witnessed it, he still had a lot to say.

"It doesn't say 'recruiting people' here," Chen Xi said slowly, his expression somewhat puzzled, as if he were recalling something.

"If it's not a reflection, then it must have some other effect?"

"Is hyperthymesia really that amazing? Besides reflecting this incredible ability, what other powers does it have?"

The squad leader exclaimed in surprise, "Although hyperthymesia is currently only at level I, its effects are too strong. In addition, with Chen Xi's infinite lifespan and infinite psychic power, anyone he pulls out, as long as they are not level II superhumans who would be killed by the identity curse, can activate the infinite firepower mode."

"Yes, it does have other effects, one I'm unaware of."

Chen Xi put his hands in his pockets, shifted his gaze from the mural, and looked straight at the rock wall, his eyes calm as if he were contemplating something.

"The effect here is not a specific ability that can be used; simply put, it should be considered passive."

"A passive ability that I don't have."

"Record!"

"As you all know, hyperthymesia allows me to record every single person and thing I've seen since I was four years old in great detail."

"But that's not what's written here. The description of hyperthymesia here is, all of it!"

"all?"

Chen Xi nodded and uttered the most crucial sentence about this passive ability:

"All cycles of reincarnation!"

"I should remember everything that has happened from the cycle where I had hyperthymesia until this very moment!"

"Based on our current information, at the beginning of each cycle, the first person on the pseudo-human side to awaken is 'hyperthymesia'!"

"And the last of the extraordinary beings to awaken was the 'Emperor'."

"These are all recorded answers, which can also be understood as..." Chen Xi said, glancing at Yang Wei, whose eyes were full of wisdom, "...the truth of history!"

"Therefore, these things cannot be wrong."

"Then we can conclude that hyperthymesia exists in every cycle of reincarnation!"

"According to the description in the third mural, hyperthymesia is hereditary, but I don't know what happened in the previous reincarnation?"

"Why did it stop here of all people? Or did it stop a long time ago?"

Chen Xi muttered to himself. In his view, there were only two clues, one of which was before he was four years old.

Although her mother kept Chen Xi by her side, nothing happened. She simply wouldn't grow up. Until she woke up one day, Chen Xi didn't think anything special had ever happened to her.

Then something must have happened to me before I was 4 years old!

Another issue is the timing of awakening. I wasn't the first pseudo-human to awaken, which is quite strange.

Strictly speaking, this can also be attributed to the first point: perhaps it was something that happened back then that led to me becoming the way I am now.

"Boss, since it's a legacy, could it be that you haven't awakened yet?"

"For example, does one need to have Stage II hyperthymesia to have this ability?"

Yang Wei scratched his butt and speculated.

"It's a pity." Chen Xi shook his head, "The inheritance of this ability doesn't have an awakening, because it's never broken."

"The only conclusion I can draw for now is that someone severed this memory!"

"Severed?" Chen Qiaowei's mind raced, and she suddenly realized something. "Was it the Dawn Sword that cut it?"

Chen Xi glanced at her: "Can you understand this pattern?"

"Um... I don't understand, but when you say 'cut off,' that's how I naturally made that connection."

Chen Qiaowei playfully stuck out her tongue.

Chen Xi didn't say anything, but looked up again and pointed to the thick solid line:

"I can't understand what this thick solid line is, but I can understand the text below it. I can confirm that it is hyperthymesia."

"As for why it's represented by a thick solid line, I don't know either. Theoretically, something like hyperthymesia shouldn't have a physical form."

"Okay." Chen Qiaowei had wanted to make a contribution, but it didn't work out.

"Let's go, Principal, to the fourth mural."

"Alright!" The principal, like a tour guide, continued to lead the way.

He's a bit like someone who has some gaming talent, goes to a professional training base for tryouts, and then, after gaining experience and knowledge, completely gives up on that path.

The fourth mural was quite far from the third. Chen Xi had seen all the scenery along the way and wondered if any other murals had been erased in between.

Before long, they arrived at their destination.

This time, the mural is also in the form of pictures and text.

However, Chen Xi recognized the pattern on it at a glance.

Graveyard Giant! ?

The audience and the principal had both mentioned that there were murals of giants here. Chen Xi had previously asked the principal what the giants looked like.

From Chen Xi's perspective, he had only ever seen one giant, the Graveyard Giant, and wanted to make a comparison.

However, the principal immediately rejected Chen Xi's answer.

"He has a pair of eyes," was the second thing the principal said at the time. The first thing he said was that he was very big, which could be seen from the fact that the reference point was a mountain.

But now that Chen Xi has seen it with her own eyes, she is stunned.

Isn't this the giant of the graveyard?

The overall design is exactly the same, and there is even an axe next to it. Although the axe is only outlined with a few lines, Chen Xi can tell at a glance that it is the axe that it used when it fought the snake man.

The only difference is that he has an extra pair of eyes!

The giants of the burial mounds at that time were formless.

The mountain behind the giant, used as a reference point, should be the burial mound!

Unfortunately, there's no trace of the giant dome here.

"Damn it!" Chen Xi frowned. "It messed up at the crucial moment. I can't even understand the following text."

Chen Xi was also shocked. To be honest, he didn't recognize any of these words along the way, but he could still see them.

Why is it that I suddenly can't understand this passage?

"What kind of script is so mysterious that even a 'scholar' can't understand it?" Chen Qiaowei muttered. "Could it all be misspelled?!"

"What kind of scholar status?"

Chen Xi was a little confused for a moment.

"It's serial number 334, 'Scholar,' right? Didn't your teammate say you can use the powers of all identities?"

"Didn't you use the extraordinary ability of a 'scholar'—reading—to decipher these texts?"

"When I was on the run, I met a 'scholar' who said his extraordinary ability was [reading]."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi understood immediately and realized what Chen Qiaowei had misunderstood:

"You're mistaken. Reading isn't some extraordinary ability to decipher words. It's about taking the essence from a book and discarding the dross, then feeding that essence back into yourself, thus making you stronger. It's a passive ability."

"Furthermore, 'scholars' also improve their progress through reading, which can be considered as achieving unity of knowledge and action with their extraordinary characteristics."

"However, the process of upgrading to 'scholar' is far from as simple as it seems. It requires continuously increasing the depth of reading to keep pushing the limits."

Simply put, you must constantly surpass yourself in the field of knowledge.

"Unless one has a natural talent for studying, it's impossible to advance from 'scholar' to 'magician' in this lifetime."

Just like Yang Wei, if he hadn't met Chen Xi, with his vocational school education, it would have been almost impossible for him to become a lawyer.

Another interesting point is that the previous identity of the "scholar" was serial number 333, "madman"!

I wonder if there's any connection between these two identities?

"Then it seems that the identity of 'scholar' is quite suitable for me." After hearing Chen Xi's explanation of "scholar", Chen Qiaowei felt that she could do it too.

"It is indeed quite suitable." Chen Xi did not deny it, because Chen Qiaowei was indeed a person who was both literate and martial.

It can both commit murder and arson, and also quietly read books!

Immediately, Chen Xi's gaze returned to the mural, trying to discern something.

Just as he was wondering if he wasn't strong enough, Yang Wei suddenly nudged Chen Xi's shoulder:

"Boss, I have something really scary to tell you."

"Is my zipper down?"

Chen Xi immediately thought of it and then lowered her head.

"He pooped!"

"But that's not the point!"

Yang Wei, perhaps nervous, swallowed hard.

"It's really strange that you can't understand this text."

"But what's even more terrifying is..."

"I can understand it!"
