The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Originally, your parents did not approve of my father's plan to join the Karasuma Group. Although it is normal to establish a good pharmaceutical company and make high-level investments in research and development, they believed that the Karasuma Group would enter the pharmaceutical field. This matter itself is very unreliable... Unlike my father, your father Ichikawa Karasawa is rejected by mainstream academic circles in terms of theoretical research, but both he and his aunt are very good neurosurgeons. Their advancement and madness will not affect their surgical abilities, and they are still recognized as first-rate in the medical community."

Having said this, Miyano Akemi tightened her fingers on the cup, and pressed her green-white slender fingertips hard on the porcelain cup.

"Later, more than a year after you and Shiho were born...my parents died in a laboratory accident."

Tang Ze let out a dull "hmm".

He had already known about the death of the Miyano couple, but for Miyano Akemi, who was already eight or nine years old at the time, it was undoubtedly a great trauma.

He stretched out his hand and covered Miyano Akemi's deformed fingers that were pressing on the outside of the cup, silently conveying comfort.

Miyano Akemi grabbed Karasawa's extended palm with her backhand and squeezed it tightly, as if she was borrowing his strength to gain the strength to speak. She continued with difficulty: "Originally, my aunt and uncle wanted to adopt Shiho and I after we lost our parents, but... During that period, Azhao was diagnosed with autism."

"...Autism?" Tang Ze opened his eyes wide, "Me?"

"Yes, when you were less than two years old... this incident dealt a heavy blow to my aunt and uncle. They couldn't spare the energy to take Shiho and I in, and instead took you around the world to seek treatment solutions. but……"

"But autism cannot be cured." Karasawa finished the last sentence for Miyano Akemi, who spoke very slowly.

After receiving this unexpected answer, the familiar feeling of losing control of his emotions hit his heart again, and Tang Ze, as if he had received a crucial answer, muttered in a low voice: " So that’s it, that’s it…”

Where did the Karasawa couple's research in psychology begin? Why did two top neurosurgeons suddenly turn to psychology more than ten years ago? Why is Tang Zezhao's memory state so special that Tang Zezhao gets his memory, but still acts like an amnesia patient who can't remember anything?

This is the node that changes the fate of this family, and this is the beginning of all changes.

Their child suffers from autism.

"Azhao..." Miyano Akemi looked at him worriedly.

Tang Ze raised his head, as if he couldn't feel the tears that kept falling, and continued: "Because of my autism, they urgently need to change the research field. Existing medical methods cannot treat it, so they want to challenge more cutting-edge , more pioneering theories and plans... They accepted funding from the organization and entered the Karasuma Group, right?"

Miyano Akemi put down the water glass and wanted to lean over to wipe the tears from Karasawa's face. Karasawa shook his head and avoided her hand.

This is not his emotion, this is the crying from Tang Zezhao, and he has no right to stop it.

"After learning that spectrum patients cannot be cured, my aunt and uncle cannot accept this answer." Miyano Akemi saw this, so she had to grab Karasawa's hand with both hands, trying to ease his emotions, "Although through long-term behavior With training, some of them can integrate into social life normally and take care of themselves, but this does not mean that they have been cured."

Just like the 52 Hz whale, the sounds they make cannot be understood by normal people, and they cannot receive the communication and expression of normal people.

Autism is the most appropriate term for this disease.

As for Tang Zezhao himself... Tang Zezhao has some guesses.

"Incurable autism?" Hoshikawa Teru, who had been listening to the story for a while, couldn't help but interject, "But Karasawa looks very normal now..."

Even with limited knowledge of this disease, Hoshikawa Teru also knows that it is difficult for people with autism to complete normal social interactions and communication.

But now Karasawa... Hoshikawa Teru swears that he has never seen anyone more social than him. He even had time to create several identities for himself, changing his voice and face at the same time, having a great time.

Compared with the current Karasawa, Hoshikawa Teru himself is more autistic.

"This is a bigger problem." Before Miyano Akemi could explain, Karasawa replied, "Originally, their psychological research only stayed at the theoretical level. It sounded too unreasonable. It was completely conjecture. The organization's funding for them Not necessarily that seriously, maybe more out of consideration for their medical and biological backgrounds... But one day, their only patient, their autistic child, recovered."

Miyano Akemi nodded, confirming Karasawa's statement.

“At what age did I recover?”

"Eight years ago, when you were ten years old."

"……really."

Tears were still falling all the time, but Tang Ze began to analyze rationally in his heart.

First of all, it is known that under the premise that there is a cognitive world, can people without awakening masks use special cognitive powers?

Of course it is possible. A typical example is Maruki Takuto in the royal version. Before awakening the mask, he had already unconsciously used his special power to distort the memory of his ex-girlfriend during the process of psychological treatment, making her forget the pain of her parents' tragic death. .

Even based on the example of Maruki Takuto, it is believed that people who study cognitive mysteries and have a deep understanding of cognitive concepts may be able to access and use this power more easily.

Could this be the case for Tang Zezhao and his parents?

Let’s talk about Tang Zezhao’s autism problem first.

From the perspective of Tang Ze, who has been living a normal life for more than thirty years, Tang Ze Akira's situation is indeed very abnormal. He suspects that Tang Ze Akira may be suffering from some kind of brain disease similar to hyperamnesia, because his memory is really So clear.

Forgetting is a self-protection mechanism of the brain. It will continuously delete uncommon and negative information and reduce mental stress.

Tang Zezhao has undoubtedly lost this ability.

His memories of negative scenes such as pain, sadness, anger, etc. are so deep and clear that every time those memories are awakened, Tangze, a well-trained professional, cannot control the impact of emotions on the brain. This is not the first time that I am expressionless and crying like this.

The autism he suffers from may be an isolation effect produced by his brain in order to protect the fragile consciousness of infants and young children.

As long as you don't understand those emotions, as long as you don't receive excessive emotions, even if you store excess information, the burden on your brain will not be too heavy.

"The cognitive world is a real world, not just some abstract concept. You two have seen and realized this." Tangze wiped away the tears on his cheeks and said calmly, " Do you think it's possible that my parents, while treating me, unknowingly corrected some defects in my soul and I suddenly recovered?"

After all, after turning ten, Tang Zezhao quickly returned to normal life order, going to school and making friends, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was an autistic patient.

Judging from Tang Ze's perspective, it was as if Tang Ze Zhao and his wife's treatment had suddenly taught Tang Ze Zhao a certain method of organizing memories.

He really couldn't forget. His brain had lost the function of forgetting, so he consciously sealed the memories in his brain into a certain "drawer" on a regular basis. Unless the correct "key" was used to trigger the playback of the memory, it would not be possible. See a specific memory.

...Thinking about it this way, what kind of civil science wizards are these big family members!

Miyano Atsushi and Miyano Elena, working on a dream medicine to cure death, came up with APTX4896, which violated the conservation of matter.

Ichikawa Karasawa and Leona Karasawa created the Phantom Thief of Hearts in order to treat their son’s autism through cognitive learning. Their logo is still engraved on the Shibuya subway.

Sera Marie really shouldn’t have gone to MI6 to work as an agent, what a waste!

If she went to study physics, there would be hope for a world with perpetual motion machines!

There may be one more, just in time for midnight snack
