I travel through countless worlds at the same time

“Can’t we let Index know? But Index is the main person in this matter. I don’t think there is anything I can hide from her. Just tell her directly.”

Although Higashino Yu knew what she was going to say, it didn't stop him from trying to win Index's favor.

As expected, after hearing what Higashino Yuu said, Index's eyes became misty.

"Dongye...you are so nice..."

Kamisaki Kaori also understood the thoughts between the two, but this was her bottom line, so she was not prepared to back down at all.

"This is my only request. If after listening to you you still feel you can tell her, then I won't stop you."

"But I'm sure you won't do that."

Kamiya Kaori said with certainty.

"Ha! My greatest characteristic is that I like to say no to self-righteous people like you!"

Higashino Yu snorted without even thinking.

"Then come on."

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while.

Index finally chose to leave first.

"Anyway, Dongye, you will definitely tell me."

Index nodded vigorously, as if to encourage herself, or to cheer up Higashino Yu.

"Yes, this is the only thing that won't change. This is the agreement between us."

"Well, once we've made an agreement, it won't change."

Index nodded happily and left the basement.

Just as Higashino Yu was about to ask, Index suddenly poked her head out of the door again.

"Although it has already been agreed upon."

"But I can understand if Dongye feels he shouldn't tell me after knowing this."

"If it was you who decided this, you must have thought it was better that I shouldn't know about this."

"So I am willing to believe you, Dongye."

"Whether you are willing to tell me or not, I believe you."

After saying that, Index left the basement with a smile, leaving behind Kamijou Kaori who was looking at Higashino Yu with a complicated expression.

She had always known that Index was a very pure and good child, but she didn't expect that the two of them would have such a good relationship so quickly.

The real reason why the two of them have been chasing Index for a year, even though it is such an important matter.

Even though Index cares a lot about it.

But she still gave the choice to Higashino Yuu.

Whether Higashino Yu chooses to tell her or hide it, she can accept it calmly.

To be honest, one can imagine the emotions in Kamisaki Kaori's heart after hearing what Index said.

"I can sense that you felt very upset and a little bitter when you heard that child say that."

"You can even feel this?"

Kanzaki Kaori looked surprised.

"Of course, don't underestimate the Observation Haki that I possess while living in the Whitebeard Pirates."

Dongye raised his head.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business. The trick I just showed you was just to tell you, don't even think about lying to me, because I'm the best lie detector."

When the Observation Haki is practiced to a high level, it can be extended into many variations, such as Katakuri's ability to predict the future.

There are also people who can sense what others are thinking. For example, Princess Otohime was born with a strong Observation Haki. She used this ability to give a speech on Fishman Island, and the effect was immediate. In addition to Princess Otohime, Luffy and Roger's ability to listen to the sounds of all things may also be a kind of Observation Haki's inner reading.

In addition, there is distance perception, such as Usopp. He once accurately predicted the location of Sucrose from a distance of ten kilometers and hit her with one blow. This is a super long-distance observation Haki perception.

Kamiya Kaori nodded slightly, she already understood how powerful the other party was.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded and began to explain.

"In fact, we are not enemies with that child. Not only are we not enemies, we are her companions. We all belong to the Church of Necessary Evil of the English Puritan Church..."

As she spoke, all the reasons why she was hunting down Index were revealed to Higashino Yuu.

Because the brain capacity is insufficient, the memory must be cleared every year.

The two of them were very sad when they saw Index erase her memory, and they were unwilling to forget their friend even if they died.

This situation deeply hurt the hearts of the two people...

So the two of them decided that in order to prevent Index from suffering such harm again, they should simply not let Index have too many attachments to this world.

As long as there are no happy memories, there will be no sadness when we part.

So they disguised themselves as villains and chased Index all the way for a whole year.

After hearing what the two said, Higashino Yuu still looked at them with a weird expression even though he had already read the original novel.

"What do you mean there won't be sadness without happy memories? Are you stupid?"

"If you said that she wouldn't be sad when she leaves you, I can understand, but why do you think that she can't find happiness somewhere else? Index doesn't want to lose her friends, and she also doesn't want to lose the memories of being with you!"

"How important is human memory. Even if the past is destroyed, human memory can still create time again. Time exists because of human memory! As magicians, don't you know this?"

"In other words, if the person who is supposed to be by your side in the future doesn't even remember your existence, will you be happy?"

Looking at Kamijou Kaori, Higashino Yuu spoke in a serious tone.

"Hearing you say that makes me want to protect her even more, not because of anything else, but because it is the past that gives us hope."

"Hey! That bastard, what do you know? Do you think we are willing to erase his memory?"

"I clearly wanted to protect her, but I had to hurt her."

0.2 "We have to hunt that child down every day and watch him suffer. It hurts us to see it all."

"But what can we do? If we don't do this, she will die!"

Stiyl's voice came from the other side of the cubicle, and his tone was very sad.

"But if it was me I would rather die."

Higashino Yu casually destroyed the partition between the three people and said coldly to Stiyl.

"We all have memories, but what's important is not the content, but being remembered. Because if a person is forgotten, then she is equivalent to disappearing."

"So, for you to play with memory at will and erase a person's memory just because of something like that, I will never agree with that, because no matter how painful it is, I will never forget it. I believe Index thinks the same way."

444. Stiyl is stabbed in the heart

Looking at the two of them, Higashino Yuu thought of Kamen Rider Den-O. Memory is indispensable to a person. It is because of the memory that we can prove that we have come to this world.

Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori in the distance fell silent after hearing this.

They all just do things according to their own understanding.

As for Index's thoughts, he has never asked her, nor has he ever thought about what kind of life Index needs to live.

Is it going to be like this, like a library, deleting memories year after year?

So is she a person or a directory?

Just when the two of them were in self-doubt.

Higashino Yu's next words shocked them both completely.

"Even apart from that, you two are complete idiots."

"The idea that memory will make your brain burst is simply a lie to deceive children."

"The human brain's memory division and information storage division are two completely different areas. Even for those with complete memory, there is no such thing as bursting the brain capacity."

Hearing what Higashino Yuu said.

Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl were both completely shocked.

"What did you say?"

Stiyl shouted in disbelief, craning his neck towards Tou26 Yeyou, causing the chains on his body to rattle.

"What I'm saying is that even people with complete memory don't need to worry about their brain capacity bursting."

"But... the Supreme Leader did tell me that at the time. Maybe it was because of the magic book. After all, your science and magic sides are completely different."

Kamisaki Kaori's tone was hesitant. There was a voice in her heart reminding her to believe in Higashino Yu, but another voice reminded her that if she believed in Higashino Yu, it would prove that the Supreme Leader was lying.

“I don’t know where your data comes from, but the facts are the facts.”

"And think about it carefully, using your limited brain capacity. If a person with complete memory needs 7% of his brain capacity to store a year's memory, doesn't that mean that all people with complete memory will not live past the age of ?"

"But the age when Index memorized the grimoire and received the memory wipe should be after this. It's impossible that you knew that Index had the ability of complete memory as soon as she was born and asked her to start memorizing the grimoire."

Hearing Higashino Yuu's question.

Kamiya Kaori thought about it and nodded.

Higashino Yu's question was almost impeccable.

In particular, Kanzaki Kaori knew that Index was already ten years old when she started reading the original magic book.

If we really follow the Supreme Leader's calculation, and if one year's memory requires 15% of the brain capacity, then Index would not be able to live to the age of ten.

But there was no problem with Index at that time.

Seeing the two of them really start to think.

Higashino Yusai added.

"In fact, the ability of absolute memory is not uncommon in society. There are even several people with it in Academy City. They are all quite old. There are even examples of people with absolute memory living to be a hundred years old in the outside world. It is impossible not to find these if you are willing to look for them."

"What you said about too much memory causing the brain to explode has never happened. It is completely your imagination or fabrication."

The ability to have complete memory is not a superpower or magic, but a special physique.

So it is not uncommon in the world.

After hearing what Higashino Yu said, Kamiya Kaori, who had already believed it 70%, suddenly became gloomy.

"If what you said is true, then the information given to us by the Supreme Leader is completely wrong. They just want to ensure that the original text will not be lost."

Kamiya Kaori is not stupid. When she heard what Higashino Yu said, she immediately guessed what they wanted to do.

But Stiyl still didn't believe that the Supreme Leader had deceived them.

"If that's true then how do you explain the pain Index has to endure every year?"

This is because every time before her memory is erased, Index will fall into a painful coma.

That's why Stiyl believed the statement made by the Supreme Leader without a doubt.

If what Higashino Yuu said was true, then doesn't that mean...

Steele's face was gloomy and he didn't dare to think any further.

However, they were unwilling to think further, but Higashino Yu could guide them to think further.

"Have you ever heard of a time bomb? It will only be activated at a specially scheduled time. Before the time arrives, it is just an ordinary decoration."

"it is as expected!"

"That vixen!"

Stiyl said through gritted teeth.

Things have come to this point, with all the truth laid out before him, leaving no room for Steele to argue.

Moreover, if it was someone else, he might have been suspicious, but if the other person was Laura Stuart, he would not be surprised if she did such a thing.

After cursing angrily, Stiyl turned around and looked at Kamijou Kaori in the distance.

"If she really did it, doesn't that mean we did a lot of things that were unfair to that child during the time we were kept in the dark?"

"In fact, the child can live well without erasing his memory. Are we the real executioners?"
