The so-called memory seller is a profession that specializes in buying and selling people's memories.
They use instruments to take out a certain memory in the human brain, give it a corresponding price, and then store the memory like a computer program, and then sell it at a high price to those who need it, and make a profit from it.
Time determines the quantity of memory, and the content determines its quality.
And the price of memory is also different, some are worthless, and some are sky-high, just like Barrick, a financial tycoon two years ago, sold his memories of the first 30 years of his life before his death, and the price was as high as 10 billion, which is the highest memory so far.
Xiao Mu is a memory peddler, he is 25 years old this year, he grew up in an orphanage, was admitted to Xinkong City University of Technology in high school, and then graduated and worked.
However, he only has memories from childhood to the age of 20, and his memories from the age of 20 to the age of 25 are blank, and the rest is the three-month memory of his time as a memory seller.
One morning three months ago, Xiao Mu woke up in his rented room, and found that his memories from the age of 20 to the day before were blank, and he remembered in his mind that he was a memory seller, and there were many memory sellers' equipment in the rented room.
In this way, he began to live as a memory seller, he thought that his life was ordinary, an orphanage, a university, and then the identity of a memory seller, he thought that these were himself, until a woman appeared, he began to discover that he had so many terrible secrets in him.
The morning of May 25, 2055.
Xiao Mu worked in his studio as usual.
His studio is near the rented house, it is the 33rd floor of an office building, as usual, he is waiting in the studio to see if any customers come to the door, but the whole morning is deserted, he is not surprised by this, the memory seller industry is similar to the antique industry, three years without billing, bills for three years.
It was almost noon, and he was about to go downstairs for lunch, when suddenly a woman appeared at the door of the studio.
"Are you a memory peddler?" The woman asked.
Xiao Mu knew that business had come to the door, so he invited the woman in and poured a cup of tea.
It was a beautiful woman, who looked to be in her twenties, tall figure, long black hair, a delicate summer dress, white high heels, very white and tender skin, delicate facial features, and the most enviable thing was her charming eyes, like a demon fox transformed into a thousand years, cold and charming.
Xiao Mudu had to admit that this woman was an out-and-out beauty.
"Beauty, do you want to buy memories, or sell memories?" Xiao Mu asked as usual, and the woman took a sip of tea very elegantly and said, "I'm a memory creator, I want you to help me find a memory that I sold before."
The so-called memory creator is an industry derived from memory sellers, when memory trading reaches a certain level, memories are in short supply, and there are some people who use their own time to study, read books, create some targeted memories, and sell them to memory sellers, and later it becomes a profession, called memory creators.
When Xiao Mu heard this woman say that he wanted to find memories, he felt that he had no business to do, he had been a memory seller for three months, if he bought this woman's memories, he would definitely remember them, but he had no impression of this woman at all, and he definitely had no memories of her.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any memories of you here, you can go find another memory seller!" Xiao Mu said, a bit of an eviction order.
And the woman seemed to know that Xiao Mu would say this, so she was not in a hurry at all, and said lightly, "You can help me find the memory, and I will pay you accordingly."
"If you want someone to help you find something, you better go to a private detective! They are professional in finding things" Xiao Mu didn't hesitate at all, feeling how much money a memory creator could give! Besides, he knew he was the worst at finding things.
"My memories are in the hands of one of you memory sellers, so it's better for some of you to find them faster!" The woman said that Xiao Mu ignored it, feeling that this woman was here to make trouble.
"Or else!" Seeing that Xiao Mu didn't answer, the woman continued, "If you help me get my memories back, I can pay you a million."
Hearing one million, Xiao Mu was stunned, he usually does memory trading, it is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, at most hundreds of thousands, and the profit from it is even less, now you can get one million by looking for a memory, which is simply sky-high.
He immediately sat down on the couch with a smile on his face and said to the woman, "Okay, now let's get started!" ”
Maybe it was because Xiao Mu's face changed too quickly, the woman looked at him with strange eyes, and said with a little disgust, "Your face has become too fast!" When I hear about money, it's like a different person."
And Xiao Mu didn't mind at all, he still smiled and said, "Don't care about this kind of detail, tell me, what memory are you looking for?" ”
The woman seemed to be very disgusted with people who were greedy for money, and looked at Xiao Mu with disgust, but at the same time she was talking about her own affairs; Her name is Murong Wen, she is 25 years old this year, and she sold her memories from the age of 20 to 25 at the end of last year.
In the notebook, she said that she had a good boyfriend, and then she couldn't figure it out, so she wanted to get back the memory of the sale.
For Murong Wen's situation, Xiao Mu has seen a lot, some people who sell memories, because they have some sad past, they decided to sell their memories and forget the sad past, but after selling it, they felt that there was nothing in this memory, and they wanted to buy it back, but the funny thing was that they couldn't bear the sadness when they bought it back, and they wanted to sell it again.
This is often repeated, infinite loop, it can be said to be endless, it is a dead knot, how can the lyrics say "the day does not understand the darkness of the night" can only understand its torment if you bear the pain.
Xiao Mu originally wanted to persuade Murong Wen, but he thought that this woman was now in the "daytime", how could he persuade him? What's more, if you persuade it, then your one million will be gone, so I dispelled this idea.
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "It's just looking for a boyfriend!" I also sold my memories of being 20 to 25 years old, maybe I happen to be your boyfriend? ”
Xiao Mu was joking, who knew that this woman didn't laugh at all, but looked at Xiao Mu with a cold and contemptuous gaze, and retorted, "This is absolutely impossible"
"Why?" Xiao Mu asked.
"You're not my type of person" Murong Wen said, "My boyfriend must be a tall man, calm, atmospheric, and handsome, how can it be your obscene dead house"
Xiao Mu almost jumped up, he said it so absolutely, it was all hard injuries, but thinking about what Murong Wen said, it was right, such a big beauty must be worthy of being rich and handsome.
Then Xiao Mu had nothing to say, who knew that Murong Wen would even make up the knife, "There is one more point, my boyfriend will definitely not be like you, seeing money"
Xiao Mu suddenly felt that his chest was stuffy, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, this was definitely an internal injury, an internal injury that shattered his internal organs.
Xiao Mu didn't dare to talk about this topic, so he had to ask Murong Wen, how did so many memory sellers find themselves? Murong Wen said that she had never found any memory sellers before, and she found Xiao Mu's address yesterday.
A memory creator generally has a lot of contact information for memory sellers, usually to compare prices, but Murong Wen does not, Xiao Mu thinks there are two possibilities.
First; It was Murong Wen who was a newcomer to a memory creator and had not done business with many memory sellers.
Second; It is the memory dealer who usually erases the other party's amnestics of himself when making a transaction, which may avoid unnecessary disputes.
And Murong Wen is obviously the first type.
In the end, Xiao Mu and Murong Wen discussed, Xiao Mu helped her find her memory, she gave a reward of 1 million, if she couldn't find it, she would also be paid 100,000 yuan for hard work, and in the process of finding her memory, all the expenses needed were paid by Murong Wen.
And Murong Wen also agreed to erase her memory of Xiao Mu after the transaction was completed, Xiao Mu felt very good, and erasing the memory could avoid future troubles.
After discussing it, Murong Wen asked for a contract, Xiao Mu felt that it was not necessary, but Murong Wen insisted that Xiao Mu, who had no choice, had to make a contract.
When Murong Wen checked whether there was a problem with the contract, Xiao Mu snickered on the side, and said in a mocking tone, "Actually, the contract is not necessary at all, if I want to do something, you have no room for legal resistance."
Murong Wen looked at Xiao Mu coldly and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Xiao Mu showed a squinting smile and said, "For example, I will close the door now, press you to the ground, do whatever I want to you, and forcibly erase your memory after the robbery, and you don't remember anything afterwards, you think, is this a very terrible thing?"
As soon as Xiao Mu said this, Murong Wen immediately stared at him with the eyes of the embankment, without the meaning of joking at all, as if he didn't understand that Xiao Mu was joking.
"I'm joking" Xiao Mu hurriedly explained, seeing that this and the woman didn't mean to joke at all, he was worried that his one million might fly, so he quickly explained, "I'm joking, I can't do that"
Murong Wen was still not at ease, Xiao Mu had no choice but to stretch out his wrist, there was a black bracelet on it, and he said, "With this thing, it is absolutely impossible for me to do anything to you"
Murong Wen looked curiously at the bracelet on Xiao Mu's wrist, black, simple spectrum, no different from a normal bracelet! Then Xiao Mu began to explain the bracelet to her.
Since the advent of the memory dealer, the secret service department has also set up a memory bureau, which is a special service department that specializes in managing memory trading, they control the buying and selling records of each memory dealer, and also let each memory dealer carry this transmission location bracelet, so that every transaction record of the memory dealer is transmitted to the memory management bureau.
This bracelet is made of special materials, and it is generally impossible to take it off, if it is taken off, or if something unusual happens to the memory seller, the secret service will immediately hunt down the memory seller.
This thing can be said to protect memory sellers, but it's more about monitoring and preventing some unscrupulous memory sellers from doing things that harm others.
Three months ago, Xiao Mu woke up to find that he had this bracelet on his wrist, which was also the symbol of a memory seller.
"What does this have to do with the contract?" Murong Wen was relieved after hearing this, and asked rhetorically at the same time.
And Xiao Mu was angry, "Just kidding, don't you understand!" It's really incomprehensible, besides, this is to retrieve the memory, we only sign the contract when the customer sells the memory, implantation is generally not used, anyway, the money is in your hands"
Murong Wen didn't speak, and continued to check the contract, Xiao Mu secretly scolded this woman for not having any humor at all.
In the end, Murong Wen saw that there was no problem with the contract, so she signed her name on the contract: Murong Wen
Xiao Mu looked at this somewhat martial arts name, and he couldn't imagine that the secret behind him started from this woman.
