Chapter 309: Hyperthymesia

In this manner, Chen Chen conversed with X-112 while waiting for the sound of the thudding to begin again.
However, as time ticked by the minute, the sound never resumed. It was not until four o’clock in the morning the next day that Chen Chen sank into sleep again.
When Chen Chen opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
After a night of sleep, Chen Chen’s head finally did not hurt as much as it did yesterday. Although there was still a slight ache, at least it was within a tolerable range.
“Sir Commander, after you fell asleep last night, the sound didn’t start up again and the Black Knight in the other room didn’t experience any strange phenomena.”
X-112 reported.
“Then what about the two Black Knights guarding the group, have they encountered anything unusual?”
Chen Chen sat up, rubbed his temples, and asked.
“No. Everything was as usual.”
“In that case, it’s likely that the problem is with me...”
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen’s expression suddenly sharpened. “Although the Black Knights don’t have a brain, no matter what, they are still living beings. If even I were infected by a mysterious phenomenon, it doesn’t make sense that the Black Knights wouldn’t be infected, unless these mysterious phenomena can distinguish between normal humans and controlled humans?
“So, it must be because I did something in that room before that the Black Knights didn’t, which led to the mysterious phenomenon only infecting me, but not the Black Knights.”
Thinking of this, Chen Chen began to recall everything that happened yesterday. What he had done was simple — he had gone to the room next door and touched the dent of the impact. At that time, he had gotten white plaster all over his hand.
“Is it because I touched the marks left by the thuds?”
Chen Chen was not sure about this.
After putting on the PK Armor again, Chen Chen led the Black Knight out of the room and came to the hall of the teaching building again. After a night of being supervised in a group, the expressions of these survivors were a little haggard. After the group was captured, their mentality had changed.
“How did they behave last night? Is the situation still stable?”
Chen Chen observed everyone and suddenly asked.
“It’s fairly stable. In truth, several of these people had plans to escape or even fight back. After all, they are people living in a doomsday, so they’re not averse to taking risks. However, the Black Knights are too good at keeping watch and this group of people never found the opportunity to do so.”
X-112 replied, “But these people definitely don’t know that, even if they are whispering, every word can be clearly heard by us. Last night, I heard the team leader making quite a few offers to Yoru Kamidera such as promising that he’ll no longer be their slave and will instead, become a full member, and other arrangements with food and living facilities.
“Again, Yoru Kamidera didn’t agree right away, but replied that he had to think about it.”
Hearing this news, Chen Chen nodded. Sure enough, Yoru Kamidera must have some specialty that was extremely beneficial to the team. Otherwise, the team leader would not possibly risk offending Chen Chen by trying to get Yoru Kamidera to stay.
“Yoru Kamidera, what have you decided?”
As soon as he entered the hall, Chen Chen immediately asked Yoru Kamidera.
“Your Excellency, I’m willing to go with you.”
Yoru Kamidera immediately replied upon hearing this.
“Very good.”
Chen Chen nodded. “In this case, come with me to locate the military base now.”
Although Yoru Kamidera was a little puzzled about Chen Chen’s objective in finding the military base, he did not say anything, only stood up and walked to Chen Chen’s side.
At this moment, the Bugatti Spaceship arrived, driven by X-112, and landed in front of Chen Chen.
Following Chen Chen’s directive, Yoru Kamidera boarded the spaceship with a lively expression. Then, Chen Chen and the three Black Knights went in after him. When the gull-wing door closed and the Bugatti Spaceship took off, the group in the teaching building seemed to awaken from a stupor and sighed in relief.
Both Chen Chen’s arrival and departure had happened so quickly without any warning signs. They felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Fujiwara Aoki tapped his plaster cast with his right hand as he stared after the departing spaceship with a complicated expression. If it were not for the hostility of his team yesterday, they would not have suffered a double loss.
Of course, Chen Chen would not be concerned about the thoughts of a group of bugs. After only half an hour of journey, under Yoru Kamidera’s guidance, Chen Chen finally located the North American military base stationed in the East China Sea Continent.
As a country that was defeated in World War II, the East China Sea Continent did not have the right to form an army, only the right to self-defense. Therefore, there was a large number of North American military bases in the East China Sea Continent.
The reason Chen Chen wanted to find this place was for the sake of tracking down Gantz’s technological information.
In Chen Chen’s view, it was very likely that humans had not fully grasped the technology given to them by the alien civilization and could only create machines far beyond human cognition through blind imitation, such as the Gantz sphere. Nonetheless, this was also enough.
This was because if humans could replicate the Gantz black sphere, then as long as the methods were not too unreasonable, perhaps in reality, Chen Chen could also achieve mass production of the Gantz sphere.
If this was the case, then Chen Chen would essentially have a super army that could shuttle around the world at any time, coming and going like phantoms. It would not be like before when they had to rely on international flights to carry out activities all over the world.
Although this kind of military base might not necessarily have the technology of the Gantz black sphere, Chen Chen could find more clues about the black spheres through the military base, thereby resuming the investigation and greatly reducing the time taken to find the needle in the haystack.
Perhaps because it was Yoru Kamidera’s first time in a flying vehicle like this, for once his eyes were shimmering with wonder throughout the entire journey. Only then was there a trace of naivety, unlike his previous self — evidently a youth, yet with dull, dejected eyes as if he cared for nothing in this world.
“This is it. This is the port of Yokohama, on the west coast of Tokyo Bay in central Honshū. It’s also the largest seaport in the East China Sea.”
Currently, Yoru Kamidera pointed to a position on the holographic screen and said softly, “Because this is the largest port in the East China Sea, it was regulated by North America. The Yokohama North American military base in the East China Sea was established here.”
“You seem to know all this very well.”
Chen Chen asked reflexively, “Is that your specialty?”
“No, my specialty is very simple, it’s just a kind of hyperthymesia.”
Yoru Kamidera shook his head. “It’s what people also call a photographic memory. I can remember everything that happens each year, month or day, every hour, minute, and second. The scene of any day can be rewound like a cassette tape and reconstructed in my mind.”
“Hyperthymesia?”
Chen Chen was startled. Did this not mean that Yoru Kamidera could even remember things like the Basilisk patterns?
