Chapter 221: Using Technology to Fight Magic

Let me do it again?
After hearing what the Director of the Cleanup Bureau said, Director Aquarius couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt his brain really boiling.

If we were to rank the pains in this world in order of severity, the process of having one's memory read by a god-level brain-eating demon would definitely be one of them.

The thin and long tongue with purple-red tumor gently rubs along the grooves of the brain every time, squeezing out the memories therein bit by bit. In addition to the pain of the "self" being slowly lost, there is also real physical torture.

Going through the entire memory reading process was like being stepped on between the legs by hundreds of burning feet one after another, aiming at an important position in unison, kicking for more than ten minutes without stopping for a second. It was a pain that no human could endure!

"Impossible! I..."

"Sorry, since this matter involves the Watchtower Palace, please come again."

"What if we try again and it still doesn't work?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem this time!"

Looking at the veins throbbing on Director Aquarius' forehead, the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, who also understood how painful this process was, could not help but assure him with a slightly apologetic look:
"Before you woke up, Director Jinniu had already inspected the Dream Recall Furnace and temporarily repaired the corroded parts. I guarantee there won't be any problems this time!"

Taurus?
After hearing the assurance from the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, the anger in Director Aquarius's eyes finally subsided a little.

As a rising palace person who was chosen by the Watch Palace, there is no doubt about the character of Director Taurus. Even if she stood on the "opposite side" of herself, she would not do anything to shady things like this.

In addition, the real cause of the problem with the Dream Furnace might not be the stomach acid of the Brain-Eating Demon, but something wrong on his side. After all, the brain in his cranial cavity was not an original one, so it was inevitable that something might go wrong.

There is no other way. It seems I can only accept the read again.

Looking at the director who said sorry but had a look in his eyes that did not tolerate rejection, Director Aquarius did not make any more futile struggles. Instead, he took a deep breath and stood in front of the God-level Brain-Eating Demon with a gloomy face again.

……

When I decided to take action, I had considered the possibility of my memory being read and prepared a corresponding solution.

Although the memory reading of the God-level Brain-Eating Demon is irresistible, it still reads the memory through contact on the "physical" side, and does not involve any means of the soul. As long as you replace it with an identical brain, you can get past its detection.

In order to withstand the memory reading at the critical moment, he swallowed the water of the Twin Mirror Lake and created a clone of the same level. After killing it with the means prepared in advance, he directly took out the brain of his other self.

Next, just let this copied brain sleep and then create a dream that is realistic enough for it to create a nearly impeccable false memory.

If there is a real possibility that memory can be read one day, then we can use the brain-transplant surgery of the Korok Kingdom to temporarily replace a fake brain. Even if the final result cannot be 100% identical, a 95% similarity can still be achieved.

The only loophole is that the memory of the other brain comes from dreams, so the extracted memory is not real enough and is somewhat intermittent, which may be exposed if someone observes directly.

Fortunately, the Brain Eater will not give out the original memory directly, but will replicate it into a dream through the [Dream Furnace] and then take it out. Under the process of dream to dream, the last 5% of the shortcoming is made up.

After all, he is a real Aquarius director. Although his brain is not an original one, it is "his own" brain. The memories in his brain are exactly the same as what he said, except that it is a little fuzzy. It is definitely enough to get away with it.

As for why there is a problem now... maybe it's because it's advanced in time?
After glancing in the direction of the Gemini Branch Director and receiving the reply that no one had tampered with the device and that it was indeed a problem with the Dream Furnace, Director Aquarius could not help but sigh inwardly at his bad luck. When he had undergone brain transplant surgery at the Gemini Branch, the doctor who performed the surgery said that it would take about two or three days of adaptation for the new brain to be completely synchronized with the body.

However, due to the sudden appearance of the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, the questioning of him was brought forward by a whole day, causing his new brain to not fully wake up, so the memory reading was not in place.

Fortunately, I thought of this possibility, and the doctor from the Kingdom of Korok also gave a way to deal with this situation.

After secretly pressing the thin copper sheet embedded in the back of his head and slightly increasing the current used to activate the brain, Director Aquarius and his fake brain were once again completely submerged by hundreds of tumorous tongues...

……

Little Leon... We might be in trouble...

After reading the "partial memory of Aquarius Director" sent to him, the red-haired director couldn't help but sigh while looking at Leon who was talking to the director on the main stage. He crushed the ball containing the memory dream and silently said sorry to Leon in his heart.

Although the dream furnace suddenly had problems, resulting in only about 5% of Director Aquarius's memory being copied in the end, this 5% of memory was enough to see the clues.

In order to completely crush the Aquarius director in one go, himself, Beverly, and the Gemini branch chief who took the initiative to provide a lot of evidence after learning the situation, did a lot of investigations during this period of time, and it can be said that they have figured out 80% to 90% of his movements.

However, in this approximately 5% memory, Director Aquarius's actual actions were very different and completely inconsistent with the information summarized by himself and others.

So if my guess is correct, Director Aquarius must have prepared other backup plans in the past twenty or thirty years, and even found a way to deceive the god-level brain-eating demon.

Although he had successfully delayed the first wave of memory reading due to the sudden malfunction of the [Dream Furnace], after the inspection by Lord Taurus, there would definitely be no problem with the next reading. It seemed that he would definitely not be able to escape the memory reading, and even Leon would be affected.

Really... I was a little too hasty to initiate the inquiry. If I had been more prepared, maybe I wouldn't be so passive, at least I wouldn't have involved Leon...

……

"I just touched it, and it works perfectly fine!"

The red-haired director frowned, regretting his lack of preparation, while Leon on the main stage patted his chest and assured the director of the Cleanup Bureau with a confident look:

"After Lord Taurus inspected it, this thing is much more effective than before. There will definitely be no problem with normal use!"

"That's good. I hope it won't fail again this time."

After receiving assurances from two "professionals" in a row, the director of the Cleanup Bureau could not help but nod in satisfaction, without any suspicion that someone might have tampered with the matter.

Leon, who was standing next to him, switched to [Elite Performer] while looking at his expression, and said with eye drops at the right time:
“Speaking of malfunctions… Director, actually, when I first touched it, there was no problem with this thing, and it should be able to be used normally. Although the [Dream Recalling Furnace] is indeed a bit old, it has not yet reached the point of malfunction.

And I guess Lord Taurus probably thinks so too, but she probably hasn't found any other problems, and you don't have time to wait for her to slowly inspect it, so you can only temporarily conclude that the Dream Furnace is damaged."

Ok?
After hearing Leon's reminder, the director of the Cleanup Bureau was slightly startled. Then he looked at Director Taurus from a distance and found that she was indeed frowning and thinking about something. Then he said thoughtfully:
"You mean... the problem might be with Director Aquarius?"
