The real world.

Kigoro's body twitched slightly, his muscles tensed, and the nurse hurried over to help him wipe the sweat droplets off his face.

The world of consciousness.

Kigoro burrowed into the palace of consciousness of the little raptor and was stunned.

His palace of consciousness was staggeringly large, and the space where Kigoro stood alone was the size of a large basketball court, with irregular circles in all directions, like a huge dome.

It looks like he's modeled after an ant, or a mole, and the earthy brown walls are covered with dense pits, and Kigoro gets goosebumps layer after layer when he sees it, and he feels a chill all over his body.

These craters look so deep that they lead to distant and unknown places, and if you count these dense tunnel spaces, they are even more magnificent than a world-class metropolis.

Hehe.

Kigoro smiled bitterly in his heart.

Old man Watanabe, are you just a thief, can you make your memory palace so magnificent?

I'm so worried, where can I find this?

Kigoro was lazy, swaying around, checking a dozen holes, and finally it was determined that Watanabe-Tai's memory palace was built based on "space", sometimes a city, sometimes a small town.

The nearest cave was built on the basis of the retirement home where he now lives.

Most people's memory palaces are built on a time-based basis, and all memories are built on a linear timeline.

Watanabe, on the other hand, obediently grouped his memories according to the city, and then established a linear memory timeline in those "caves" based on the "city".

And he's been to so many places in his life that his memory palace looks like a beehive or an anthill.

What a twisty guy. Kigoro complained in his heart.

However, I finally found a pattern.

Onitoro simply lay down and looked at the craters in the dome - sure enough, as expected, they were of different sizes and depths.

The entrance to the cave is large, and it is a metropolis, and because I often live there, the cave is even deeper.

Some small and shallow ones should be small villages and towns that I have been to occasionally.

Most of the potholes are located in the same way as the distribution of towns in Japan, and some are far away from the pothole clusters, which is probably a memory module formed when traveling to some cities abroad.

Looking at the number of these potholes, it feels like he has stolen every household in Japan.

The security facilities of Japanese police stations and prisons, including access control and safes, are specially provided by three security insurance companies, Edo, Kataoka, and Sakamoto, which only serve the government and large enterprises.

As a result, there is very little information about the safes produced by these three companies, and it becomes very difficult to crack them.

Lin Xiaohu had tried to hack into the databases of three companies, including Edo, and look through the procurement catalogue of the Yokohama Police Headquarters to determine the model number of the safes — but several attempts failed.

It can't be accurate to a specific model of safe, however, it can't copy too many memories, firstly, Xie Lingyan will be difficult to control, which is more likely to cause schizophrenia, and secondly, there are too many copied memories, and she will not be able to use them proficiently in the short term, after all, it is not her own memory.

Kigoro has a copy of Watanabeta's memory copy list in his brain, which is an execution plan based on Watanabe's criminal record.

The first choice, of course, is his escape from prison, and the memories of his training for the police department, which are of the highest utility.

The target was Abashiri Prison in September 1989, June 1996, June 2015, and April 2021.

A prison in Tokyo, April 1990.

A prison in Yokohama, April 1999, July 2011, July 2018.

The above is the time and place when the little raptor Watanabe escaped from prison eight times.

The Raptor voluntarily surrendered in 2029 and later became a special adviser to the police, and in July 2031 and October 2033, he did anti-theft training for the Yokohama Police Headquarters, and there was training content for opening the safe with his bare hands.

The second is Watanabe's memories of stealing confidential files of some large multinational companies in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kagoshima, and the safe that holds these files is likely to be the same model as the safe at the Yokohama Police Headquarters, and Onicoro chose 50 of the cases in which the exact time can be checked.

Onitoro pulls up this "Watanabe Tai Memory Copy List" and unfolds it in Watanabe's memory palace like a real paper list.

In this way, he walked around Watanabeta's memory palace, like a family cook with a purchase list and shopping for goods in a big supermarket.

Sensitive and elegant, Kigoro shuttles lightly through various passages of time and space, looking for the memories of Watanabe's theft and committing crimes, and carefully collects them.

Memories related to prisons and police stations, as well as his memories of committing crimes at 26 companies in Yokohama, have been collected.

In Tokyo, 11 companies have been collected, and there are still 6 companies left.

Although he is a thief who shocked the world, he is really easy to get along with. From time to time, Kigoro let out a sigh.

Because his previous work objects were all the chaebols of the Yamamoto Consortium, all of whom were humble gentlemen and fair ladies who behaved in public, but once they got involved, they were more perverse and meaner than the other, even if they infiltrated their memory palace, they could feel a strong arrogance and indifference, which made him very uncomfortable and full of depression.

In Watanabeta's memory palace, it is incomparably indifferent, free and easy, full of human touch and warmth.

This guy gave most of the money he stole to the homeless orphans and the elderly who had no one to support them. This is quite similar to Wei Qingyun.

Although he was stealing other people's memories, Kigoro felt a different kind of relaxation and happiness, which was the happiest nerve infiltration he had in more than ten years.

The memories of the 28th company have also been collected, and Onitoro let out a sigh of relief and exited the time period where the memory was located.

He retreats into the cave of "Tokyo" – you can call it the Corridor of Time. It is a long cave that uses a linear timeline as a clue to store Watanabe's memories of the city of Tokyo.

Kigoro glanced at the memory collection list, found the point in time where the next target was, and continued to walk towards the depths of Watanabeta's memory, carefully retrieving the time code of each memory.

"Hey, hey—"

"Hey, hey—"

A few children's laughter was heard.

Kigoro "heard", this is in Watanabeta's memory palace, and the sound in his memory will be directly transmitted to Kigoro's auditory nerves, forming the effect of "hearing the voice".

Kigoro looked around and didn't find anything, maybe it was Watanabe-Tai's memory fragments that just floated over and affected him.

"Hey, hey—"

"Hey, hey—"

"Play with me, okay, uncle, play with me."

Onitoro stopped, and there was a chill behind him.

In the real world, Kigoro's body temperature suddenly plummeted, and bursts of cold sweat broke out, soaking through his clothes.
