"Simply abandoning the physical body certainly cannot achieve such a thing. The Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection can do this, of course, by relying on the power of the Remembrance Aeon, Fuli. I told you before, Fuli is the Aeon who presides over Remembrance. The people of the Garden of Recollection, furthermore, are able to abandon their physical bodies due to Fuli's power, and travel through the universe in a more free form of memes. And at this time, if someone has the concepts of the Remembrance Aeon and the Garden of Recollection in their mind, the Garden of Recollection can then potentially create a teleportation channel at this person's location, arriving before them," Takagi explained.
(Yae Miko: That's truly astonishing, as long as there are related concepts in the mind, can they come to the side of the relevant person?)
(Alhaitham: We also received knowledge about the Remembrance Aeon and the Garden of Recollection, could she also come to our side?)
(Kaveh: I suddenly feel so nervous, are we Teyvat the first to be discovered by the Remembrance Aeon?)
(Beidou: If Lord Takagi wasn't Akivili, it is indeed possible for us to be discovered by the Remembrance Aeon.)
(Neuvillette: Will being discovered by the Remembrance Aeon be a good thing for us?)
(Mountain Shaper: The power of the Remembrance Aeon is very likely capable of removing erosion, which should be beneficial for long-lived species.)
(Zhongli: Based on universal rationality, if Teyvat is noticed by the Remembrance Aeon, then the time when other Aeons notice Teyvat is probably not far off.)
(Venti: If Teyvat is next targeted by the Destruction Aeon, or the Elation Aeon... I dare not imagine what kind of ending Teyvat will have afterward.)
(Mountain Shaper: ...)
(Zhongli: Let's focus on the matter at hand. The sudden appearance of the Garden of Recollection, and their attention being placed on Nahida, I wonder what caused the Memokeeper to target her.)
(Ningguang: It doesn't seem to be about Takagi's Light Cone... Speaking of strange, the Messenger from the Garden of Recollection and Lord Takagi don't seem to know each other, so where exactly did Lord Takagi's Light Cone come from?)
(Scaramouche: Could it be that the Garden of Recollection lost them, and then Takagi picked up these Light Cones?)
(Yae Miko: If it's that easy to pick up, why don't you show me a performance of picking up a Light Cone?)
(Scaramouche: ...Hmph!)
"To be able to teleport so easily, that's truly interesting." After Lisa heard what Takagi said, she walked over with a curious expression.
The Messenger noticed Lisa's gaze and shook her head somewhat helplessly. "Sorry, I don't want unrelated people to have my memories. So I can only temporarily seal your memories." The Messenger's shoulders drooped, and she said with a sigh.
(Grand Sage Azar: She wants to erase the memories of everyone present!)
(Furina: She has this kind of ability?)
(Zhongli: Based on universal rationality, it is impossible to seal the memories of everyone present.)
(Venti: Yes, being invisible so that people other than Lord Takagi couldn't see her is somewhat understandable. But the matter of specifically sealing others' memories, it's impossible to do that so easily, right?)
(Arlecchino: Even not including Lord Takagi, the memories of Himeko, Dan Heng, and others wouldn't be so easy to seal, right?)
"You want to seal our memories?" Nahida frowned, staring intently at the Messenger as she spoke. No matter who it is, no one wants someone to tamper with their memories. As a clone of the Irminsul, Nahida is even more so.
"Sorry, I also don't want anyone to tamper with my memories." Dottore's mouth curved upward, and he said to the Messenger cautiously.
"Please don't say such dangerous things, if you don't want to witness what a shattered star looks like." Welt Yang pushed up his glasses, and a small black hole appeared in his hand.
"Hmph, I advise you not to act rashly. Uncle Yang is very powerful. Things like the Doomsday Beast from before, Uncle Yang can easily defeat them. And we also have Takagi here, be careful he doesn't beat you up." March 7th put her hands on her hips and said to the Messenger seriously. As someone who had lost her memories before, she certainly didn't want her memories to be tampered with by others again. Even though Takagi had mentioned before that Fuli, whom the Messenger believed in, might have protective actions towards her.
(Zhongli: Does this Welt Yang actually possess the power to easily defeat the Doomsday Beast?)
(Venti: That black thing in his hand, I always feel it's a bit dangerous.)
(Ei: There isn't a single simple person on the Astral Express. It seems Himeko also found it inconvenient to use large-scale weapons at the Space Station before, which is why she couldn't repel the Doomsday Beast.)
(Mona: If it happened suddenly, it might be possible for this Messenger to seal the memories of others, but now that everyone has noticed her, can she really seal the memories of Himeko and others?)
(Alhaitham: Given Nahida's characteristic as a clone of the Irminsul, sealing her memories wouldn't be a simple matter, would it?)
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I won't do anything unnecessary. It's just to make some of you forget my existence. Your other memories will not be affected." The Messenger said, her body suddenly emitting a blue light that spread towards everyone present. Of course, Takagi was also among them. The light came quickly, and everyone didn't have time to react. They were already enveloped by the light.
"Alright, that's settled." The Messenger said, and was about to leave. However, Takagi directly raised his hand and pressed down on her shoulder.
"Where are you going, Messenger?" Takagi asked.
"What?!" The Messenger looked at Takagi in horror: "You, why are you able to grab me? And why do you still remember me? Shouldn't I have already sealed away your memory of me?"
Takagi's mouth curved up, and he said: "If your method of sealing others' memories is just suggestion, it's useless against me; I'm not afraid of suggestion." Not to mention that Takagi has Kafka's Spirit Whisper, which is similar to the suggestion the Messenger used earlier. Just the Imaginary Energy Takagi himself possesses is enough to directly crush the Memokeeper's suggestion. As for grabbing the Messenger, that was even easier. Although the Messenger has no physical body, she is also a form of energy. Since she is energy, Takagi naturally could grab her by using Imaginary Energy.
"Takagi, who are you talking to? Speaking of which, why are we gathered here?" At this moment, Himeko's somewhat confused voice came from the side.
"Strange, what are we gathered here for?" March 7th tilted her head and said somewhat strangely.
Nahida, Dottore, Cloud Retainer, Lisa, Dan Heng, and the others also had confused looks on their faces. Welt Yang, on the other hand, was frowning tightly, looking strangely at the small black hole in his hand that hadn't dissipated yet.
"Could it be that there is someone present in front of us? Just in an invisible state, and... They also tampered with our memories?" Welt Yang raised his head and looked in front of Takagi, saying. Welt Yang understood himself. If it weren't for an unexpected situation, it would be impossible for him to summon a black hole.
Takagi nodded slightly, raised his hand, and using Natasha's template, cast unbinding skills that landed on everyone present. In an instant, the seal the Messenger had placed on the memories of the people present earlier vanished completely. Immediately after, Takagi used powerful Imaginary Energy to envelop the Messenger's entire body, making her figure reappear before everyone's eyes.
"You are... the Messenger of Remembrance! You actually sealed our memories?" Dottore looked at the Messenger who reappeared before him, and the memories in his mind simultaneously surfaced.
"Only the part of the memory where we saw her earlier temporarily disappeared..." Nahida said, staring intently at the Messenger.
"You really don't want us to remember you, do you?" Welt Yang said with a frown. After experiencing the process of having their memories sealed, the expressions of Himeko, March 7th, and the others also became increasingly serious.
(Alhaitham: It seems the Memokeeper's power is even more special than we imagined. Is there no way for Nahida, Himeko, and the others to resist?)
(Venti: How surprising, even Nahida couldn't withstand it. Then if we stand beside the Messenger, wouldn't she be able to toy with our memories however she wants?)
(Yae Miko: This is truly terrifying.)
(Dehya: But according to what Takagi said earlier, the Garden of Recollection shouldn't be some strange organization. How is it that now they look like bad guys?)
(Sangonomiya Kokomi: Could it be that the Garden of Recollection is good overall, but not everyone within it is necessarily good?)
(Ningguang: There is indeed such a possibility, but no matter what, it is certainly not a good thing for the Messenger, who can freely seal the memories of Himeko, Nahida, and others, to notice Teyvat.)
(Keqing: I certainly don't want anyone to be able to toy with my memories as they please.)
"Lord Takagi standing before you is a very remarkable person. I think you must have fully felt it as well. So, it's better not to try sealing our memories again," Himeko said to the Messenger with a light chuckle.
"I can see it, he is indeed a very remarkable person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to resist my seal on memories. He can even release the seal I placed on some of your memories." The Messenger nodded, carefully observing Takagi before her for the first time.
Suddenly, her body trembled, and she looked at March 7th standing next to Takagi with extreme surprise. "You... what's with the Light Cone in your hand?! Why did you get this Light Cone? Wait, is it because of Takagi? He, he has the power of 'Akivili'? No, not only that, you have also attracted Fuli's attention..." The Messenger said with extreme surprise, but Takagi's brows furrowed.
"That's enough, Listen to me, you are not allowed to read the memories of everyone present." As Takagi's Spirit Whisper power activated, the Messenger's body suddenly stiffened. The power related to memory that she originally used freely seemed to be sealed, and she could no longer mobilize it. Despite this, the Messenger was not afraid; instead, she looked at Takagi with even more excitement.
"You, you are indeed special. Are you a Pathstrider of Trailblaze? Or are you truly Akivili that is recovering? You have even attracted the attention of the Remembrance Aeon, Fuli! It's... truly too shocking. Um, I have an impolite request, may I witness the memory of your growth?" The Messenger said excitedly to Takagi.
Although it was only for an instant, she had indeed read records from the scattered memories of March 7th and Nahida earlier, which suggested that Takagi was possibly the recovering Akivili and that Fuli had once gazed upon Takagi. Coupled with the physical power Takagi displayed, how could this not make the Messenger care about Takagi? Originally, she came for the Stellaron, and after noticing Nahida's uniqueness, she then set her sights on Nahida. She never expected that there would be an even more special existence on the Astral Express. What could be more important than witnessing the memory of a possibly recovering Akivili who possesses powerful Trailblaze power? Even if Takagi is not Akivili about to recover, just his identity as a Pathstrider of Trailblaze is worth the Messenger's attention.
It's just that unfortunately, Takagi did not nod in agreement to the Messenger's request.
"Let's talk about why you set your sights on Nahida first," Takagi shook his head and said to the Messenger.
"Nahida, that's this person's name, right?" The Messenger said, looking at Nahida as she spoke: "I noticed that she is a Pathstrider who has embarked on the Path of Remembrance. And I sensed a unique power related to memory within her. It's as if she herself can store memories. That's why I noticed her existence." Out of respect for Lord Takagi, the Messenger directly answered Lord Takagi's question.
Lord Takagi: "So, you want to record Nahida's memory?"
The Messenger nodded and said: "Yes! I think there might be precious memories in her mind. But please rest assured, I will not demand these memories for nothing. The Garden of Recollection has strict laws, and I am willing to obtain these memories through trade. As for the trading item... I think you should need Light Cones, right?"
La Signora: "Light Cones?"
Dottore: "As expected of someone from the Garden of Recollection? To actually be willing to exchange Light Cones for memories?"
Himeko: "Lord Takagi, could it be that the Light Cone you took out was exchanged from the Garden of Recollection using your memory?"
March 7th heard this and also looked up at Lord Takagi curiously.
"Could it be that the Light Cone in her hand was given to her by you? Have you already reached cooperation with other Messengers?" The Messenger looked at the Light Cone in March 7th's hand, then looked at Lord Takagi and asked.
"This is a secret, I don't want to reveal it for now. Also, I temporarily don't want the world where Nahida and the others are located to be exposed to too many people's sight. The same goes for your Garden of Recollection. Therefore, I must refuse your idea of wanting to trade Nahida's memory," Lord Takagi shook his head and said.
(Ningguang: As expected, Lord Takagi does not intend to agree to the Messenger's request.)
(Alice: The current situation of the universe is unclear, and Teyvat is too fragile compared to the universe. It is indeed inconvenient for Teyvat to be exposed to too many people's sight right now.)
(Zhongli: From a universal perspective, that is indeed the case! Although the Garden of Recollection does not seem as dangerous as the Antimatter Legion, her behavior of arbitrarily sealing others' memories is truly not commendable.)
(Tartaglia: But, this Messenger is willing to exchange Light Cones for memories. If you can get powerful Light Cones, it's not a big deal to let her know some irrelevant memories, right?)
(Arlecchino: If it's just irrelevant memories, I imagine it will be difficult to get powerful Light Cones from her. Moreover, if we agree to her, what kind of memories will be demanded is probably not something we can be sure of.)
(Mona: That's right, after all, we don't have the power like Lord Takagi. If she doesn't want us to see her, she could even follow us for a long time.)
"How, how could this be!" The Messenger's words revealed poorly concealed disappointment.
"The Light Cones you can provide are of no use to me. I can also obtain sufficiently powerful Light Cones through my own means. It's not strange at all that I would refuse." Lord Takagi shook his head and continued: "And you said that your Garden of Recollection has strict laws binding you. But as far as I know, even so, many people from the Garden of Recollection are very dishonest. Among you, there are also memory Snatchers, aren't there."
Hearing this, the Messenger's body stiffened again, clearly somewhat embarrassed.
Lisa: "Memory Snatchers? What is that?"
La Signora: "Just by the name, you know they are not good people."
Cloud Retainer, Nahida, and even Dottore all nodded slightly. This made the Messenger even more embarrassed. However, she did not intend to give up. After all, Lord Takagi in front of her was too attractive to her.
