Chapter 1184 The Regain of Forbidden Knowledge

"So, Alice, you used to possess forbidden knowledge, but you've forgotten it now?"

Xia Shou pondered carefully.

It wasn't unexpected that Xia Shou would forget the forbidden knowledge. After all, even someone like Jin Fenglong, who had a name, would fall and need to relearn the forbidden knowledge, so it was only natural that he would forget it.

However, there should be a difference between someone who has learned the forbidden knowledge but later forgot it and someone who has potential but has not learned it.

Xia Shou immediately used written explanations to search for new information, and soon all the research notes he had previously recorded on forbidden knowledge appeared in great detail.

“When a knowledgeable person forgets the forbidden knowledge, there are various methods to recall it, depending on the degree of forgetting.”

The first method is to reread books related to forgetting forbidden knowledge. Without thinking, one can quickly understand the knowledge that has been understood before, and thus quickly recall the forbidden knowledge.

The second type is influenced by extraordinary forces related to the forgetting of forbidden knowledge. As the influence accumulates, breaking through a certain limit will suddenly bring back the forbidden knowledge that was once mastered. The more similar the influence of the extraordinary forces, the faster the accumulation.

If the forgotten forbidden knowledge acts directly on oneself, one can completely master it in an instant.

The third type involves individuals who continuously use similar non-forbidden powers, and gradually awaken them over time.

The fourth type is inspiration... Places, scenes, and similar events that were previously associated with learning about forbidden knowledge will gradually awaken the forbidden knowledge.

Xia Shou recited the instructions slowly, then smiled with delight: "There are so many methods!"

Although none of the information inside can be taken out, this black jade door is truly a treasure trove of information, even more convenient than the Bureau of Control's database. Just by using the text description, a large amount of relevant information will emerge.

However... my head is a little tired.

Xia Shou rarely uses his supernatural abilities and has almost no need for magical power, but in this place, the intense use of written instructions has made him feel fatigued from the depletion of magical power.

He had already noticed that both methods involved calling text, but the same number of characters consumed different amounts of spell power.

Especially when you've just looked up information about Alice, if the wording in the text is closer to modern times, then the consumption of magical power is very small. But once the text mentions a more distant era, then the consumption of magical power will increase dramatically.

In other words, the earlier the traces you want to find, the greater the consumption of your magical energy.

This room is like an endless garbage dump. People have been throwing garbage into it since the distant past, one piece of garbage after another. The older the garbage, the deeper it is buried, and naturally, it takes more effort to dig it out.

"Hoo—" Xia Shou took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and continued to look up the information.

He quickly figured out how to restore Alice's forbidden consciousness.

"okay."

Although we cannot take the information out directly, we can write down a plan and take it out.

In this way, even if something goes wrong outside, it can still be fine-tuned by reviewing it again here, and it's only a matter of time before Alice regains her forbidden knowledge.

Just as Xia Shou was feeling tired and preparing to retreat, he suddenly saw two small characters float past above the candlelight—"Xiao Yan".

The words "nothing of substance" seemed to strike a nerve when they caught Xia Shou's eye, instantly piquing his interest.

He immediately used those two words as keywords to search, and then excerpts from his diary appeared one after another...

……

……

Coming to his senses, Xia Shou stood outside the black jade door, his mind blank. His first reaction was that he was suddenly very tired, feeling as if all his magical power had been drained.

"It's coming out now?"

Xia Shou subconsciously looked at his arm, and sure enough, there were words written on it: [Don't try to lift the restriction and go back to talking to the Death Note about this.] Hmm?
What does it mean?
Xia Shou frowned, finding the message incomprehensible.

Alice, standing nearby, discreetly glanced at her palm and saw a line of small print: "Lord Xia Shou is ashamed to mention that kind of service; you need to observe carefully before taking the initiative."

Alice, do you have any clue?

"No, nothing happened." Alice snapped out of her daze, shook her head in denial, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Although Alice didn't remember what happened inside the door, she had a pleasant feeling, an inexplicable joy.

Xia Shou looked at the words on his forearm again and sighed, "Forget it, I'm tired too. I'll rest tonight and talk to that guy about it tomorrow."

"Are you going to rest? Will Lord Xia Shou rest at Merlin's House? I've arranged a bedroom for you here; it was just recently set up," Alice asked.

"Oh! Right, now that you've turned human, I can come and go from Merlin's House anytime, which is like having a portable storage room and place to live! That's pretty good." Xia Shou became interested, but quickly realized another problem, "But can we connect to the internet here?"

"This won't work."

"That's really... a bit of a shame. Let's head back first, since it's a special time and other people in the department might need to contact us urgently."

"Yes." Alice hid her regret and nodded in agreement, "I'll see you off."

As Xia Shou returned to his dormitory to rest, just upstairs in his dormitory, Jiang Wengao, having finished working overtime, dragged his tired body back to his own dormitory.

He struggled to take off his clothes, took a shower, and finally lay down on the bed. He closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.

My body is very tired, but my mind is still in a state of inefficient excitement.

"Damn it, has working overtime ruined my brain?"

Jiang Wengao picked up his phone, opened the group chat and glanced at it. No one was talking in the casual group, and there were only a few consecutive files in the work group, which no one dared to accept.

He put down his phone, closed his eyes, and pondered the future, as well as his romantic future.

He likes the female protagonists in the game, but he also likes Miss Xiao.

The female characters in the game are amazing. He had a wonderful adventure with them in the game before, which makes him look forward to meeting them again in fifty years. But if he can't stay young forever, he will be old by then.

Ah, no, that's not the problem.

The problem is that games are virtual, but Ms. Xiao is a living, breathing person.

Miss Xiao is so gentle and kind. She's also beautiful, the kind of beauty he really likes—very understated. He feels that if he were with her, he would definitely be taken good care of.

Hmm...it's that kind of very maternal quality.

Thinking about this, Jiang Wengao felt that he might be lacking in love.

But he genuinely felt that being in a relationship with Miss Xiao would be a wonderful thing.

It was during his time with Miss Xiao that he suddenly realized that some things are more important than appearance, ability, or material conditions.

That is the need of the soul.

but……

"Ugh……"

Let’s go to bed first.
