Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Although Nan Zhubin's current reading speed is almost as fast as when he was in the court's document room, it's so fast that "reading ten lines at a glance" wouldn't be enough to describe it.

However, Nan Zhubin's current state is different from that time.

In the court's document room, Nan Zhubin only needed to glance at the documents, record the text into his Memory Palace, and then organize it later while sleeping, it was quite relaxing.

But at this moment, Nan Zhubin's focus is not on "memory," but on "information processing."

Back at high school in Jiangdu, when Nan Zhubin substituted for Teacher Xiao Zhao to teach a psychology class on the theme of "memory," he taught: Human memory is mainly divided into three types based on the duration, namely Instant Memory, Short-term Memory, Long-term Memory.

And now, under the push of the Flow State, Nan Zhubin's special memory module—Working Memory, begins to exert power.

Among the information imported from the outside, not everything needs to be recorded in Long-term Memory. Some information will be filtered out and forgotten at the moment; some information that doesn't need permanent memory but is useful at the moment will be transferred into Working Memory for appropriate processing to be useful in current work.

For example, when doing reading comprehension questions in exams, teachers will instruct students to "read with questions in mind," meaning to read the questions first and then look at the reading material.

At this time, those "questions" are stored in the student's Working Memory.

Working Memory is the foundation of almost all advanced cognitive functions. Information taken into Working Memory can participate in activities such as language comprehension, learning, reasoning and problem-solving, decision-making, attention control, execution, and so on.

However, usually, the capacity of Working Memory is limited. Therefore, when students do reading comprehension questions, they can only "carry one question to read the article" at a time; when they finish the first question and start the second one, they might need to go back and read part of the previous article again.

Even when reading too many articles, students might forget their own questions, requiring them to go back and read the questions again.

Unless they have exceptional talent and particularly strong Working Memory. Such students, when doing English fill-in-the-blank and essay questions, might suddenly recall "this word appeared in the previous reading questions," then track back to search, and thereby score points.

Just like how Micro-expression Analysis enhanced Nan Zhubin's observational and thinking abilities, the Flow State greatly strengthened Nan Zhubin's information processing in Working Memory.

Nan Zhubin's Working Memory has transcended the general realm of "exceptional talent."

I need to submit refuting evidence, so I need to find Wang Zhenhai's early work experiences... The fifth page of this stack of materials can fulfill this requirement, but it seems to overlap a bit with the sixth paragraph of the fourth page of the previous stack...

The sixth, eighth, and thirteenth pages of this stack can be used and are even better than before... Then extract those pages and reorder them...

In the eyes of the onlookers, Nan Zhubin's hand speed is almost dizzyingly fast.

However, it should be noted that Working Memory can be considered a special kind of Short-term Memory, so its capacity is limited. This is why some people forget what they are doing while they are working.

But this is not much of an issue for Nan Zhubin—as long as he processes all the information before it leaves Working Memory.

The documents Lawyer Zhan intends to use for the court session are visibly decreasing in number, while the materials Nan Zhubin uses as refuting evidence increase, decrease, get reordered, and then revert to their original state.

Due to the large amount of prepared materials, lawyers in court often bring a small suitcase, contrary to the common imagination of carrying only a briefcase.

And at this moment, these materials needing a small suitcase for transportation have been analyzed and sorted by Nan Zhubin in less than ten minutes.

He then condensed them into a thin little booklet based on his needs.

"Done!" Nan Zhubin exhaled deeply.

Unknowingly, Nan Zhubin found himself sweating profusely. The rapid intellectual computing was a massive strain on his body and mind.

Only now does he finally relax.

The fifth stack of documents I just looked at seemed to have an interesting section, I could look at it later, that was in... eh? Which page was it?

Nan Zhubin blinked, unable to recall.

Never mind, it doesn't matter, the core work is done anyway.

Lawyer Zhan grabbed the materials from Nan Zhubin's hands.

He was already in a state of admiration. He quickly bound these things into a booklet, and in the next moment this material was in the hands of the assistant with thick black frames.

Then—

With a "whoosh," the assistant with thick black frames disappeared.

Submitting materials, off to go through procedures.

Nan Zhubin glanced at the clock on his phone, letting out a long breath.

...

"The recess is almost over, the issue with the court debate in a moment is not significant. Once this is all over, this round is as good as ours."

The defense lawyer looked at the gang leader Wang Zhenhai, softly encouraging.

The two of them spoke in hushed tones, with the "backbone" of the other defendants standing several meters away.

The bailiffs stood even further, unable to hear their conversation.

The right to private conversation during the recess is also an important guarantee of the defendant's basic litigation rights and the lawyer's defense rights.

Thus, the defendant and defense lawyer can discuss subsequent moves without much concern.

Perhaps noticing an unusual state in the leader, the defense lawyer gently encouraged, "Usually, the second trial doesn't change much. We can aim for the best-case scenario we planned, don't be nervous."

"I'm not nervous, everything is going according to plan, isn't it?" The leader took a deep breath, involuntarily refuting the lawyer.

But perhaps realizing his tone was inappropriate, he softly added, "Sorry... Regardless, I'm very grateful to you. If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have thought of today's defense strategy."

The leader looked at the defense lawyer, speaking very slowly, "I'm very thankful, and I will continue to 'thank' you, I promise..."

The defense lawyer paid no mind to the attitude of the leader; he cared about the things hinted at in the leader's words.

The defense lawyer smiled with satisfaction, "We help each other. This trial is pivotal, now we're just a step away, just pay attention in the following debate round, and follow the plan..."

The leader nodded, taking a deep breath to adjust his mindset.

Dong—dong—dong—

The sound of leather shoes tapping on the floor could be heard, as the clerk appeared in the defendant lawyer's line of sight.

Just as the defense lawyer was tidying up for the court, he heard the clerk say, "There's a procedure we need to synchronize with you—the prosecution submitted two new pieces of evidence just now during the recess. Because they submitted them quite late, to ensure the right to examine evidence, the court has decided to extend the recess by 1 hour."

Seeing the defense lawyer suddenly stiffen, the clerk continued, "You can come with me now to retrieve the evidence copies, and utilize this extended recess time to verify relevant situations with the defendant."

"... Cough cough."

The leader, who was taking deep breaths to adjust his mindset, choked.
