This question stumped both Xinghe and Mubai.
Mubai closed his eyes to think. ”Memory lineage you say?”
Xia Meng nodded. ”That's right.”
Mubai retorted immediately, ”Even though there are scientists working on this brain technology, no one has achieved success yet.”
This was because this was a complicated subject to research. The difficulty was akin to prehistoric man researching genetic engineering.
Although that might not be exactly true, after all, it would be easier for modern man to achieve breakthroughs than prehistoric man.
Xia Meng nodded again. ”Yes, theoretically speaking, no one should have achieved success in researching this technique yet… but someone definitely did. Isn't this situation the best proof?”
Xinghe frowned while concentrating. ”In other words, you used this memory lineage technology on me? My memory is passed on to your brain and yours mine?”
Xia Meng was surprised she caught on so fast.
She nodded slightly. ”That's essentially it. We've only exchanged our memories, so in truth, you're still you and I'm still me. Or stated otherwise, you would think you've become me but that's not entirely true. It's because my brain has too much of your own memory that it overshadows my original memory, it gives the illusion that you've become me, but we didn't actually become each other. Hopefully, that's not too confusing.”
Xinghe nodded. ”I believe I get it. After all, there are ways to make a person believe he has transformed into another without the use of future technology. As long as his memory was somehow exchanged with someone else's, he could be led into believing he was someone else. It's kind of like hypnosis, just more scientific in nature.”
”Yes, it has everything to do with a human's memory and consciousness, but the memory lineage technology is more seamless than that because the memories stored in the brain are real and have actually been experienced. So, with the memory's compulsion, even the person's conscious and subconscious thinking process can be mirrored into someone else's.”
