Back at the institute, Mary skillfully operated the computer, using somatosensory movements to push and glue the images suspended in the air.

"No. 1386, No. 3695...... "Mary pulls the fragments out of the memory bank, first finding a blurred colored vase, turning it 180 degrees upside down and placing it in the center of the picture.

Then place another fragment of memory scattered by the flower behind it.

The next fragment shows a foot on a petal.

Mary is like a master editor, connecting the fragmented threads, and as more and more pieces are put together, the otherwise static images are assembled into a moving film, and the sounds, smells, and touches fill everything up little by little.

After more than an hour of polishing, adding and subtracting, a memory of the conversation between Lawrence and Sabrina appeared in front of Todd's eyes.

Freshly picked flowers, quietly sleeping in vases, the first rays of the morning sun shining into the room, casting a golden glow over the dewdrop-covered petals.

Unfortunately, this tranquility was completely destroyed by the angry owner of the room.

In the first view, the vase is violently thrown to the ground, and the flowers are scattered to the ground with a piercing cracking sound accompanied by flying debris.

An angry male voice rang out: "Sabrina, you said you failed, what's going on?!"

A young woman in a white robe from the workshop sat on the desk and stretched lazily: "Do you want me to say it again? ”

Clorence took two steps forward and stepped heavily on the flowers on the ground: "How is it possible? How is it possible?! I remember you said that you have mastered all the expressions and movements of this woman!"

Sabrina ruffled her hair and looked helpless: "This woman is Theodore's assistant, I have indeed observed it for a long time, and the week I first entered the laboratory was fine. However, the woman has a lover at the place of work. ”

"Lover?"

"An Etanian, good looks, good figure, good voice......"

Claurence, angrily yelling, "Sabrina!!"

The young woman tilted her head and said, "Impatient fellow, then I'll get to the point." One night, he came to spend the night with me......"

"You agree?!" Grass's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.

"I didn't want to make people suspicious, but honestly, I was a bit bored during that time. So, we went to bed......" Sabrina's expression became playful: "The trouble is that I know this woman's movements and expressions, but I don't know her position in bed. Maybe it was because of my wildness and heat that made that lover realize that something was wrong. ”

Clorence kicked the debris and petals off the ground and whispered, "What did you do?!"

"I killed him. ”

Sabrina shrugged: "That Etanian lay on the bed and pretended to be innocent, put on his pants and turned his face away from anyone, and threatened to denounce me to Theodore. I had no choice but to kill him. ”

Crørence slumped in his chair and shook his head and asked, "So, what did you know about Jerome during your week at Theodore's lab?"

"Not much, but it's critical enough. ”

Sabrina's words made Grassence instantly intrigued.

"Tell me about it!"

Theodore seems to have used a black liquid to heal the Inheritor's mutation. This liquid comes from a place in the north called the Land of Shadows. ”

Clawrence pondered: "The Shadow Country, I remember that it seems to be the Divine Domain in the mouth of the barbarians?"

Sabrina continued, "Theodore used this black liquid to try to heal the inheritors of multiple mutations, but the success rate was not high, and most of the samples still died. Even Jerome, who survived, was, in Theodore's own words, a result of a "failure". ”

Clawrence then asked, "What is the result of 'failure'?" did he say what it would be like if he succeeded?"

"He said that the species of the whole world will lead to a great evolution!"

The memory image is over.

Todd watched the screen turn black, and the words 'black liquid', 'Northern Divine Domain', 'Shadow Country', and 'Species Evolution' still echoed in his head.

Is the key to healing the heirs in the north?

Todd turned his face to Mary and asked again, "Is there anything else besides this memory of Theodore?"

Mary stared intently at the screen in front of her, and replied absentmindedly: "This section is the most complete, and the other memory fragments are too badly damaged to be spliced." ”

Todd leaned over to her and asked curiously, "What are you looking at, looking so seriously?"

On Mary's screen, there are several oil paintings with **.

Mary carefully distinguishes the names underneath the painting: "'Sleeping Venus', 'Susanna in the Bath', 'Danae'......"

Todd finally understood what was happening, when he was attending school activities in his previous life, he went to visit the World Oil Painting Exhibition one day, and he didn't remember anything else, except for the oil paintings of the female body, which were engraved in the subconscious of the brain, and now they were turned over.

He ran over, hurriedly covered the screen with his back, and smiled awkwardly at Mary: "It's nothing to look at, it's just a few oil paintings of the human body." ”

Mary said to him excitedly, "Your Majesty, who drew these?!"

The corners of Todd's mouth twitched and said, "These are the works of masters!"

Mary looked suspicious, stretched out her head and looked at the screen again, and said, "I have been exposed to countless paintings since I was a child, but I have never heard of these paintings! You said to me, these are the works of masters?

Todd didn't know until now that he could sweat like rain in the original soul space, and he desperately recalled: "I remember that there was one named Joel and another ...... called Ann."

Mary sank her face: "Your Majesty, no matter how noble your status is, you should not treat art so frivolously, I have never heard of these masters you said!"

Seeing that the explanation was not clear, Todd simply broke the jar and broke it, putting all the blame on the ethereal unknown: "I don't mean this place, but a more distant world." ”

Mary's eyes widened, she pointed to the sky, drew a cross reverently, and nodded slowly.

What Todd didn't expect was that Mary, who walked out of the soul space, relied on the ability of "super memory" to imitate and display the famous paintings she had seen one by one. This incident caused a ten-magnitude earthquake in the entire Twilight City art circle.

Mary was secretive about the provenance of the famous paintings, but vaguely pointed out that she had copied the collection of King Todd, which came from a much higher place.

Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.

Because, the first official exam in Twilight City officially kicked off.
