Half For Each

"Are all of these a person's memories?"

Black was stunned for half a minute before he asked.

"All of his memory? No, this is only a small part of it," Mr. G said. "What you see is less than a week's worth at most. It's not easy to find the particular memory we need to modify. We need to constantly fish in the sea of memories. Most ordinary people do not have any patterns in their memory storage. Moreover, sometimes we have to distinguish between the target's imagination and reality."

As Mr. G spoke, he pointed to a screen. There, Mr. G was kneeling at the feet of the middle-aged man, begging for the latter's forgiveness with tears in his eyes. "See? This is his imagination. He's probably dreaming about this day. Unfortunately, he's now lying in my memory coding room."

Black also noticed the five people lying on the ground nearby. He initially thought they were all corpses but realized that they were merely unconscious when he walked in.
