Chapter 813 Terrible ability!
Vic did not use the methods familiar to this world to isolate himself from the Red Earl's detection. Instead, he used his mental power, which is a very mysterious force to this world.
Since he wanted to learn the unique methods of the Red Earl, he couldn't let him know that he was particularly resistant to him checking his memory, so Vic chose mental strength. Vic had practiced this power to a very strong level, and it could also block the detection of Observation Haki like the Conqueror's Haki, similar to the effect of Observation Killing. So the Red Earl sensed the obstruction, but didn't know what kind of power it was.
The Red Earl is a man who can check other people's memories and see through their inner thoughts, but he is also accustomed to the ugly hearts of people around him. As a result, he has a great aversion to people and develops a solitary personality.
This is also the reason why the Red Earl did not reply to Vic, but directly started to explore his memory. He can teach the method of exploring memory, but he must not pass it on to a person with an evil and ugly heart. Although Vic's breath gave him a good feeling, he still wanted to see Vic's memory, but was blocked by a mysterious force!
"Forget it. Seeing that your aura is peaceful and many of the things you do are to my liking, I can teach you the method of searching memories! Although the minimum requirement for learning is to have a strong observation Haki, I believe you have it!"
He is not called the Lone Red for nothing, there are few people in this world that he looks up to. Maybe that is why he hid in Impel Down, but Vic gives him a very good feeling!
He checked the memories of many people, including many in the Navy, and learned a lot about what Vic had done in the past, including what he did when he was young and in the Navy.
In his analysis, Vic is a person with a sense of justice, a kind heart, no fear of power, and the ability to empathize with the weak. This is the kind of person the world lacks the most. Even in the navy, there are not many such people. This is why he treats Vic differently.
Maybe Vic's soul comes from another world, and his values, outlook on life and values are very different from those of the people in this world. His attitude and style of doing things are also very different. This is why his soul can be highly compatible with that of the Red Earl, who has seen through people's hearts. Maybe the Red Earl yearns for a truly harmonious world!
……
"Mr. Redfield! We are leaving now. Do you really not need a ride?"
Three days later, Vic had learned how to view other people's memories and was preparing to leave here with Ace. However, after seeing that there were no ships around the island, he wanted to invite the Red Earl to leave this uninhabited island together.
"No need, I still have some things to take care of here, you guys can leave first, I didn't expect you to have such a strong learning ability, most people can't learn it without several years of hard work! We'll meet again if we're lucky!"
The Red Earl was truly amazed at Vic's learning ability, and was even in turmoil inside, but he did not show much on the surface.
Because it seems very easy to check the memory, just put the blame on the Observation Haki, and you can learn it quickly with the Observation Haki domineering?
In fact, this is not the case. To check memories, one does need the detection ability of Observation Haki, but Observation Haki is only a prerequisite. A person's memories are stored in cells in certain areas of the brain, but the storage method is not various images and fragments. You can't just watch them by releasing Observation Haki. That would take up too much brain capacity. For living things, this is not cost-effective and it is an incomplete evolution!
Memory is encoded and recorded by the electric charges released by neurons, which is somewhat similar to the programming language in the background of a computer - code. Editing and storing memory in this way can minimize the brain capacity required to store memory!
However, this form of code storage is incomprehensible to most people and needs to be translated into familiar text or images through an intermediate means before we can understand it.
The same is true for memory, which is recorded through the coding of electric charges. It is an unknown language similar to a code. The information in it is also obtained through various combinations of codes, and the Red Earl is the one who masters the means of translation!
He can see the translated images through the codes, just like a very good programmer who can know what the content will be after the codes are run by just looking at the codes, just like Charlotte Bling who ate the memory fruit and can directly pull out other people's memories from their brains to check.
This is because her fruit ability acts as a translator, directly translating those code combinations. This is done with the help of the power of the fruit. What the Red Earl wants to teach Vic is what the various combinations of charge codes represent. There are really a lot of such combinations, and they require a lot of memory.
The Red Earl's ability to see these things is innate, and is also given by his Observation Haki. He can naturally see the translated images through those codes, so he is very clear about what the codes represent. Even so, the Red Earl still needs to translate the code combinations to obtain those memory images. The more he does it, the more proficient he becomes. He can check a lot at a glance, and he can even save the time of translating code combinations!
But there is no need for Brulee to go through such trouble, as her fruit ability is more efficient. Apart from the two of them, everyone else has to start learning from scratch. There are so many coding combinations that most people cannot remember them all in a short time, let alone learn them!
It is normal to forget what you have learned before. Even if you are very talented, you cannot master it in a short period of time. Everyone's stored memories are different, and what they experience, see and hear are all different!
Even though the most complex and varied memories are made up of the most basic coding combinations, there are a vast number of those basic coding combinations. However, Vic learned it in just three days. He could learn each coding combination after being taught once, and after learning it, he reached the same level as the Red Earl. He could translate the coding combinations into memory images by looking at them!
Even if you replace it with someone with a photographic memory, you can't achieve this effect, because even if you completely remember the meaning of those code combinations, when you see the real code combinations, you still need to translate them one by one, and then combine them together to check, just like a newly hired programmer.
To reach the level of the Red Earl, it requires long-term practice. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, but Vic did it in just three days. His photographic memory was only one aspect, the other was that he was the god in charge of thunder and lightning!
Who let the memory be recorded by the electrical code of neurons, and just happened to run into Vic's domain, that's not easy to catch, so Vic has a better understanding of the human brain, he has a feeling that when he really understands his own brain thoroughly, he will become a true "God"! Rather than a god of law who controls the laws, but whose flesh is still fragile and mortal!
……
Vic did not continue to invite him. After saying goodbye to the Red Earl, he continued to sail to Titan Island with Ace. The Red Earl did not like to travel with others, even Vic was not used to it, and Vic knew this.
The days at sea returned to normal, and most of the time was still spent helping Ace practice in the illusion. However, because he had read Ace's memories, the illusion woven by Vic became more real, incorporating more things from Ace's memories. Even Ace, who knew that he was about to enter an illusion, couldn't tell the difference!
If the illusion woven by Vic started from the scene on the warship just a moment ago, then Ace would really be lost in the illusion, as long as the subsequent developments were not too outrageous.
When the scene changed, Ace thought he had woken up, but in fact, he might still be in Vic's illusion. Vic could even weave multiple layers of illusions, making Ace think he had returned to reality again and again, just like in Inception. That feeling might make Ace collapse!
Having learned how to check memories, Vic can now weave non-existent memories for people. Isn't that just charge coding? The Red Earl can't do it, but this is Vic's specialty. He has a thorough understanding of the laws of thunder and lightning, so these are all trivial matters!
Vic is really scary now. He can subvert a person's personality and world outlook at will by tampering with other people's memories. The memory is in Vic's hands and can be deleted or re-encoded and implanted at will!
This method is too terrible. If the Red Earl knew that Vic had this ability, he would definitely not teach Vic the method of checking his memory. Memory is the basis of high-level psychological activities such as thinking and imagination. It is also the basis of cognition and perception of the outside world. It is very important!
Subvert memory! Good people can turn into bad people in an instant, and bad people can turn into good people in an instant. If it is used on some big people, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes!
Vic has always wanted to pull the navy to the opposite side of the World Government, but he has not had a foolproof plan. There are also many people in the navy who are loyal to the World Government. Now that he has this ability, the navy can no longer escape from Vic's control!
