Chapter 2916: Memory

【Prompt: You have obtained Sea Soul Stone x12 (This is a condensed crystal formed after a giant extraordinary sea beast dies in the deep sea, its soul subjected to the dual pressure of sea pressure and the power of the Magic Sea. Sea Soul Stones are favored by witches and nobles and are mostly made into extraordinary items or precious ornaments).】

【Prompt: Because this item was purchased with Magic Sea gold coins, this item has been notarized and can be taken out of this world.】

Su Xiao continued to look up at the prompts. Although he didn't obtain a treasure chest after wiping out that second-rate pirate group, he obtained 0.7% of the World's Source when killing that pirate captain.

In addition to the World's Source gain, Su Xiao also obtained 5 points of Legend.

The amount of Legend obtained was within the estimated range. As for the World's Source, it was less than imagined, possibly because there were many strong people in this world, and that kind of second-rate pirate group was as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

Now was not the time to reap benefits, but it was coming soon. Su Xiao took out a metal disc from his storage space. This thing was about the size of a plate. He took out a carving knife, and after injecting mental power into it, he started carving on the metal disc.

Opposite the table, Winnie had already calmed down. The more she thought about what had just happened, the more afraid she became. Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, she judged from the clues she already knew that she had actually taken the gold coins and obediently gone to buy the Sea Soul Stones?

Winnie took a deep breath. She started to pray secretly in her heart, praying that she hadn't told the other party how to use the Sea Soul Stones. That part of the memory was somewhat blurry; if she didn't use "Spirit Thinking," she wouldn't be able to remember it herself.

Spirit Thinking was Winnie's biggest secret. She suffered from a strange congenital disease: everything she saw, everything she heard, even touch, smell, etc., she would firmly remember in her mind, not letting go of any detail.

In fact, this was indeed a congenital disease called hyperthymesia. Patients would indiscriminately remember everything they came into contact with.

Hyperthymesia had many side effects. Winnie was lucky; she was discovered by a witch who helped her solve the hidden dangers of hyperthymesia, turning it into a powerful ability.

After that witch passed on knowledge to Winnie, she "sealed" a part of Winnie's brain.

This made Winnie's memory very poor. Sometimes it was comparable to a fish's memory. She would forget things she didn't care about after looking at them for a few seconds, while she could selectively remember things she cared about.

If Winnie used the Spirit Thinking ability, she could even recall the taste of breast milk, when she lost her baby teeth in childhood, or the appearance of some passerby from years ago, etc.

Winnie closed her eyes and started Spirit Thinking. Soon she felt that the memory of how to use the Sea Soul Stones was safe, as she hadn't recalled that memory for several years.

Confirming this point, Winnie regained her confidence in her heart. Although the other party had the Sea Soul Stones, how to use them still had to be asked of her. At that time, she could propose that she was willing to help the other party manufacture a container for the Sea Soul Stones for free, but that container would be temporary and would be destroyed after one use.

In this way, she had value. Only with value could she survive. This was the truth Winnie had concluded after drifting on the sea for many years.

Winnie didn't want to threaten, but to cooperate. Her mood was a bit complicated now. She was afraid to stay on the *Doom*, but she also didn't really want to get off the ship. This ship had too many secrets and would also come into contact with numerous extraordinary beings.

As a witch, how could Winnie not want to obtain stronger extraordinary power? Only by being strong enough could she protect herself. Simple avoidance was useless. Winnie had understood this point when she was 15 years old.

Staying on the *Doom* temporarily without signing a blood contract wouldn't result in being cursed. Thinking of these, Winnie's mind started to become active. Risk and opportunity coexisted, and she now had bargaining chips in her hand.

"I can help you manufacture..."

*Whoosh~*

A wave spread from the metal disc in Su Xiao's hand, and the aura of the Magic Sea permeated the air.

"What did you say?"

"I said... I am very good at cleaning ships. Your ship is so big, and the captain's cabin hasn't been cleaned for a long time either."

Winnie looked at the metal disc in Su Xiao's hand, her heart almost roaring. She really wanted to know how Su Xiao manufactured the container for the Sea Soul Stones.

Su Xiao controlled the metal disc in his hand, letting it settle down, just releasing the unique fluctuation of the Sea Soul Stones. He could easily do this: "Alchemy, Basic Volume, External Release and Consumable Use of Crystal Energy."

The problem at hand was that the range of the "Magic Sea Aura" released through the Sea Soul Stones was limited, with a diameter of about 1000 meters. After the Cursed Ones boarded the island, they could only move within the range of the "Magic Sea Aura."

Each Sea Soul Stone could maintain the "Magic Sea Aura" for about an hour. He could let Bubu Wang carry this metal disc and hide in the dark, following the Cursed Ones as they moved.

"Do you want to stay on the *Doom*?"

"Yes, I belong to this ship."

Winnie said words that made her conscience ache.

"As you wish."

Su Xiao stopped paying attention to Winnie. This woman still had secrets. When he used the Nightmare God's blood to influence the other party just now, the other party was like losing her mind, and her memory was only about 6 to 7 seconds. This was very abnormal.

If the other party's memory was very poor, how did she remember those inherited knowledge? Baja had asked about this aspect when the other party was in a daze, and Winnie's answer was very strange.

Her original words were: "I can't remember clearly, but I remember."

This kind of incoherent way of speaking was very much Winnie's style. The other party couldn't remember those inherited knowledge clearly, but the other party "remembered." This was very contradictory.

This feeling was very much like writing something in a notebook and then forgetting most of it. To recall it again, one needed to flip through the notebook.

If Winnie's brain was compared to a notebook, then Winnie had the ability to flip through the notebook—no, the ability to flip through her own memory.

But this had a prerequisite, which was to be able to remember everything in the depths of the brain. Otherwise, it was impossible to flip through one's own memory. Not using a "notebook" to write it down made it impossible to "flip through." This was common sense.

"Hyperthymesia must be very painful, right? Who helped you solve this problem?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Winnie's expression was somewhat confused, but at this moment, her heart almost stopped beating.

"The feeling of 'flipping through' one's own memory won't be too good. Compared to this, I'm more curious if you can flip through other people's memories."

Su Xiao's smile gradually became kind. Everything he said was a guess, but after he mentioned hyperthymesia and described the specific symptoms of hyperthymesia, Winnie's heart rate increased from "86 beats/minute" to "109 beats/minute."

She suppressed it very well, but she was still too young. The eyes were the windows to the soul, and the heart was the true embodiment of the soul.

"I... can!"

After Winnie said this, her fists under the table clenched. An inexplicable sense of stimulation appeared in her heart. She felt that from now on, she might become a bad person.

"Very good. From now on, you are responsible for the cleaning of the *Doom*. Clean up the food on the table."

"Okay."

Winnie rolled up her sleeves, tied up her golden hair, and started cleaning up the tableware on the table. Upholding the principle of not wasting, Amu had just eaten all the food on the table.

Everything was ready. Now he just needed to return to Minguang Island and inlay the curse stones on the 【Black Crow Ring】.

Baja hung a lantern on the bow of the ship. A dark vortex appeared in front of the *Doom*. The *Doom* sailed into it and returned to Minguang Island.

On Shipwreck Island, inside a castle that occupied a large area.

In the bright banquet hall, there was only the sound of tableware colliding. A man with a small mustache sat at the head. He was wearing noble attire. Although he was over thirty, he had the charm of an adult male. Every move revealed the elegance and strictness of a noble.

This man was named Hubbard Byrne, and more people called him Baron Byrne. Although the peerage system had long been abolished, the ancestor of the Byrne family, that is, his great-great-great-grandfather, was a baron.

That baron was once the deputy captain of the 15th captain of the *Doom*. Although he died of curse erosion in less than a month, he was still the deputy captain of the *Doom*. This prestige was enough to suppress many people.

Therefore, Hubbard Byrne didn't reject others calling him Baron Byrne; on the contrary, it sounded somewhat pleasant to his ears. After all, that was the glory of his ancestors. His ancestor was once the captain (deputy) of the *Doom*. This ghost name made Baron Byrne receive the awe of pirates.

Baron Byrne put down the dinner fork in his hand, somewhat worried. Shipwreck Island was his territory, and he had to offer 45% of the total income to the Great Pirate Duke every month. Recently, the Duke vaguely had the momentum to go to war with the Empire, which made Baron Byrne worried in his heart.

Once the two sides went to war, Shipwreck Island would become one of the three supply islands in the buffer zone. This was a very bad situation.

"Has the person you are waiting for not arrived yet?"

Baron Byrne looked at the two people on the right side of the dining table. These two people, one was wearing full-body armor, and the other was a young boy.

"He will appear soon."

The armored man spoke in a deep voice. The food in front of him hadn't moved at all, obviously not trusting Baron Byrne.

"The Duke is looking for you."

A cold female voice came from outside the door. The few people in the banquet hall looked at the sound. This was a woman wearing a white robe and a hood. She was the third assassin waiting in the Magic Sea.

The armored man stood up in silence and walked out of the banquet hall, leaving only the white-robed woman and the young boy.

What no one noticed was that a crow was landing on a tree fork in the courtyard. This was a crow with pitch-black eyes. ===== CHAPTER 2917 =====
