?Chapter 447
Carlisle and Gareth chatted and drank as time slipped away quietly. Before they knew it, it was 2:00 am.
Gareth hadn''t had his fill. He intended to drag Carlisle to a bar to continue drinking, but Carlisle declined, stating he had school tomorrow.
Gareth was disappointed that he had to go to the bar alone.
The next day, after hepleted his morning run and freshened up, Carlisle went to school.
On the way to school, he received a phone call from a stranger.
"Hello... Hello, may I know who this is?"
"You called me, yet why are you the one who''s asking?" he trailed off.
Carlisle stopped mid-sentence and looked at the caller ID. Sure enough, it was the number he had textedst night.
He quickly said, "My name is Carlisle. I''m a businessman from Rivend, and I''d like to hire you."
"You''re just starting out, right?"
"Yeah!"
"I''ll switch jobs for a sry of 500,000 dors a year, but I''ll need three years'' sry in advance."
"Sure!" Carlisle answered without hesitation.
The person on the other end of the line had 20 years of headhunting experience. Carlisle could gauge Anthony''s age from his voice. Yet, Anthony didn''t question Carlisle, indicating that he had his own opinions on this matter.
"My name is Anthony Swanson. I''m currently the HR Director at Wick Group."
"When are you avable in Rivend?" asked Carlisle.
"I''m actually on a business trip in Rivend. Let''s set up a meeting to chat!" Anthony replied.
"Let''s meet at 7:00 pm at A1 Seafood Restaurant."
Meanwhile, in Yorksle, at a psychiatric rehabilitation hospital hidden deep in the forest, Wanday in an extremelyplex sleeping pod. Various data cables were attached to her body.
Outside the sleeping pod were over a dozenputers. An elderly man in a whiteb coat sat
before theputers.
At that moment, Wanda felt both nervous and excited. Noel Dolton, the chief psychiatrist, had just informed her that as long as she cooperated with the treatment in the sleeping pod, she would soon bepletely recovered. She would then be able to meet the person she wished to meet.
"Wait for me, Carlisle," Wanda thought as she gently closed her eyes.
Noel looked at the time.
He then said slowly, "Let''s begin."
His assistant pressed the green button on the sleeping pod. The ss cover of the sleeping pod turned green.
Various neuron connection patterns immediately appeared on theputers outside of the pod.
These neurons were extremelyplex. The neurons disyed on the tenputers were merely a fraction of the entire thing. These neurons were distributed in the temporal lobe and hippocampus and were mainly used to generate memory responses.
The stronger the connections between these memory-storing neurons, the deeper the memory. The neurons for some insignificant memories would gradually loosen, eventually leading to a tenuous or even broken connection. That was why people had blurry memories or forgot certain events.
Theirtest device could sever some of the neuron connections using ultrasound, thus achieving the effect of erasing memories.

Following Noel''smand, audio recordings of the news reports about Wanda''s kidnapping began ying in the sleeping pod.
Wanda''s eyebrows instantly furrowed. The scenes of her kidnapping resurfaced in her mind.
Meanwhile, a staff member stared at the screen disying the abnormally active neurons and said, "Noel... We''ve found it..."
Noel''s lips curled into a faint smile.
"Activate the ultrasound disconnection!"
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, Wanda slowly opened her eyes. Her previously unfocused gaze was now exceptionally clear.
She squinted at the ss cover of the sleeping pod and murmured, "Where am I?"
The pressurized door opened with a hiss. Noel approached the sleeping pod with a stack of photos.
He first showed Wanda a photo of Shein and asked, "Do you recognize him?"
Wanda nodded.
"He''s my father!"
Noel then took out another photo.
Wanda spoke softly, "She''s my mother."
