Bab 414: Gathering clues
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the nonsensical meeting was done, Baiyi shooed the Voidwalkers away, leaving only himself and Lady Assassin Walker behind. Should one forget that Soul Armatures were armor sets, without reproductive organs, they would have expected something naughty to go down between the pair.
Baiyi sat at his desk, flipping through files as he began mapping out a plan. Lady Assassin Walker sat beside him, resting her head on her propped knees, which had her arms wrapped around them, as she watched Baiyi scribble on his papers.
Every time Baiyi stopped for a bit to check on her, she would chuckle. The laugh sounded so dumb, it seemed capable of lowering the IQs of whoever heard it.

KafkaOfTheRubbles [1] It's a common idea that people become hyper-competent autobiographical retellers of their memories under "hypnosis", but that's nice fictional stuff.
What really happened was that the person "under hypnosis" is being encouraged/persuaded/suggested that they are now in a "different mental state from normal", where they subconsciously say certain things that *comply with the story the one performing hypnosis would want to hear*. A lot of stories get spin while under such sessions, you see, and as a person tells them and thinks of them as "really happened", they reshaped their actual memories to reflect on the changes... That's far from the whole "perfect recount under hypnosis" trope and more "planting new ideas into someone's head through hypnosis" trope.
But you see, with or *without* hypnosis, human memories are susceptible to suggestions, influences, and revisions (like addition and deletion) every time we retrieve those memories back up. There are, of course, individual nuances to this, so it's really a case-by-case basis to establish how reliable a witness' memories are. Why is that? Because memories are not meant for past recollections, but as a reference for making present and future decisions!
Yea... It's already murky without the whole pseudoscientific hypnosis trapping. It's fascinating, fantastic stuff on its own! There are so much more to talk about...
Also, yea. Kafka is a nerd who mused about memories while translating a fiction. Now you know; You're cooler than at least one person for sure, True Believers! Haha!
[2] Nooo! Black Mirror Season 1 ep 3, "The Entire History of You"! Bad idea!
