Infinite Talent Reset Life Episode 78
”Haha. Anyway, listening to songs from that era causes various hormones to be released in the brain, which helps alleviate Alzheimer’s, right?”
‘Huh?’
‘Oh.’
Johann and Professor Richard look at Jack Walter with surprised eyes.
He summarized it well.
This means he understood the previous explanation to some degree.
“To summarize, yes, you could say that.”
“Wow! That’s amazing!”
Many things have been introduced as helpful for preventing and alleviating Alzheimer’s. From brain-healthy vegetables to board games like chess that exercise the mind.
“But most of them are hard to stick to.”
“You’d have to say they’re hard to maintain consistently.”
“…Anyway.”
Hahaha!
“But you can just listen to music!”
“Not just any music. It’s most effective when patients listen to songs they heard from their teens to their thirties.”
“Why is that?”
“Hmm. That part is still under-researched.”
The elderly veterans at the Veterans Home whose brain waves were most active when listening to swing, jazz, cool jazz, bebop, rock and roll, and blues.
There wasn’t enough time to conduct research.
“It’s probably because people don’t actively seek out new songs after their thirties.”
People’s gazes turn back to Johann.
“They don’t seek out new songs after their thirties? Why do you think that?”
“Because it’s exhausting.”
From your thirties onward, you’re a full-fledged member of society.
But humans usually start experiencing a sharp decline in physical strength from their thirties.
“After being pushed around all day, where would you find the mental energy and physical strength to seek out the latest songs?”
If you’re single, you’d try to forget stress through exercise, drinking, or eating good food, and if you have a family, you’d have no time for leisure while spending time with your family.
“And at that age, most people become independent, so they inevitably hesitate to spend money on music.”
Because the latest music doesn’t occupy a large portion of their lives.
“And if you try to listen to songs from when you were young again, you already remember them all… well, something like that.”
In other words, Johann’s explanation was that the music most humans remember is merely what they listened to from their teens to their thirties.
“It feels good to listen to songs from when you were young after a long time, right? Maybe that’s why it’s most effective?”
“…Wow.”
Professor Richard also crosses his arms and nods, finding it reasonable.
“What’s your IQ, by any chance?”
“I haven’t been tested yet, but my ability to speak this coherently is all thanks to the proper discipline and education from my guardians and school.”
“How about we make a show out of testing this kid’s IQ later?”
The director silently gave a thumbs up, and the audience burst into laughter again.
“To summarize this too, we should say that the veterans’ Alzheimer’s was alleviated because of the songs from that era that you performed?”
“Probably?”
Honestly, it’s hard to believe, but both today’s appearance and the ‘neurologist’ he’s absorption reading say so.
Jack Walter grins at Johann’s shrugging gesture and looks at the audience.
“Ah, I’m late with introductions. This smart child having an in-depth conversation with Professor Maxim here today is the 11-year-old genius Johann Jefferson who performed the show that turned back time for the old soldiers!”
“…Woooooow.”
The audience claps at the staff’s encouragement, but they’re wondering if it’s really true.
Jack Walter is thinking the same thing inside.
“Jefferson, if it’s not too much trouble, could you perform the piece you played that day again?”
“Of course.”
That was exactly why he appeared on California Evening today.
Johann was slightly surprised when the curtain on one side of the studio opened to reveal a piano and session musicians, but immediately stood up.
“Ooh! Everyone please give him a round of applause!”
“Woooooow!”
Clap clap clap clap clap!
It’s just a performance by an 11-year-old.
Warm and proud gazes poured down, and Johann closed his eyes and accessed the library.
“Check reading list.”
Johann pulled out ‘Neurologist’ and ‘The One Who Became a Star’ and stared at the figures recorded at the top.
“As expected, this would be better to start with.”
[The Architect of Rock and Roll, Richard Wayne Penniman]
Rock and roll rather than jazz.
-Rock and roll?
‘This person is at it again.’
A fiery person who says he wants to perform, wants to have fun – Little Richard.
Even the color of his orb is bright red like that passion.
He really likes that.
“Shall we go?”
Johann opened his eyes and faced the session musicians who were looking at him proudly, then struck the keys.
Tiddy din dang dang dang dang tiddy din!
The session musicians’ eyes widen.
They laugh as if incredulous yet delighted and pluck their instruments.
A performance that instantly harmonizes and races forward.
Johann smiled brightly and opened his mouth.
“Wow, golly! Miss Molly sure likes to ball!”
Everyone in the studio’s eyes widened.
“Woooooow!”
‘My goodness.’
Goosebumps are rising.
“Li, Little Richard…?”
The architect of rock and roll, Little Richard’s Good Golly, Miss Molly.
Could there be an American who doesn’t know this song?
Even the vocal style is similar.
However, it’s not just powerful like his, but has a touch more appeal.
“My goodness! My goodness!”
Jack Walter, who had stood up at some point, began swaying his body, and the audience who had been watching him also couldn’t contain their excitement and started moving.
With the architect of rock and roll descending upon the studio, they couldn’t help but sway.
Baaaaam!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
After swaying for a while, the song had ended before they knew it.
Johann stands up as if asking why they’re disappointed and grabs the microphone.
“Hello! Billboard Singles Chart 101st place, Johann Jefferson who sang ‘Dream – Journey on a Ship’!”
“…Woooooow!”
“Then shall we continue diving into the world of rock and roll?!”
“Yeaaaah!”
“Alright! Tutti Frutti! Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam! Tutti frutti oh rooty!”
“Aaaaaaaah!”
“…You’re insane.”
I called him a genius to give him courage, but he really was a genius.
Jack Walter let out a hollow laugh and surrendered himself to rock and roll again.
The audience and Professor Richard felt the same way.
* * *
‘Robin’s fragment affected my voice.’
A fragment of ‘dropout’ Robin Joel subtly mixed into ‘the architect of rock and roll, Richard Wayne Penniman’.
Because of that, a touch of sexy appeal was added to the intense powerfulness.
That alone made the song feel richer.
What would happen if I absorption read both beings at once?
Johann was very much looking forward to that moment.
“Wouldn’t it be better to watch and listen to this kind of performance rather than just listening to songs?”
In the waiting room after filming ended.
Johann and Professor Richard continue the conversation they couldn’t finish during the performance.
Jack Walter sits between them, hugging a bag of popcorn.
“Isn’t watching a performance more thrilling and enjoyable than simply listening to songs?”
Singing my favorite songs together with countless others, breathing in the excitement.
“I haven’t experienced it myself, but according to people who have been, it’s so good that your mind goes completely blank.”
There’s a reason people chase after performances and concerts.
“…I’m not sure.”
“Haven’t you been to performances?”
“Studying was more fun than performances.”
But there’s merit to it.
The most dramatic reaction occurred after watching Johann’s performance.
“And how about not just listening to songs, but matching the surrounding environment to that era too?”
“Surrounding environment?”
“Wait, Jefferson. Are you saying we should change things like radios and TVs too?”
Johann nods at Jack Walter’s words.
“Programs from that era, news, advertisements, shows, as well as wallpaper, sofas, clothes, food – matching everything to that time period.”
“Enough to make them think they’re really living in that era?”
“Yes.”
Alzheimer’s was alleviated just by listening to music from the era they wanted to return to, the time they always longed for.
If even the surrounding environment changed to be like that time, more dramatic changes might occur.
“When you find something you used to use as a child, it makes you happy and excited for no reason.”
This means hormones are being released.
The ‘neurologist’ was also saying it had sufficient validity.
‘Hmm. I think there was someone among the beings I read who lived in Longevity Village.’
A village where not only did all residents exceed average lifespan, but there were extremely few Alzheimer’s patients.
‘What did those people mainly eat…’
It seems I need to check my reading list again.
“The era they want to return to… Heh!”
A thrill runs through him.
If Johann’s hypothesis is correct, Alzheimer’s research might reach a turning point.
It sounds impossible, but it was definitely worth researching.
Professor Richard’s eyes sparkle again.
“I’ll write you a recommendation letter.”
You just need to write one paper.
“No, you don’t even need to write it. I’ll put you as second author on this research.”
“It’s okay.”
If I was going to college, I would have gone long ago.
“I like how things are now.”
Playing with friends like Emily and Flash is fun right now.
Although freedom of movement is restricted, this moment flowing slowly yet quickly is very precious.
“Won’t you be unable to communicate with them?”
“I have no intention of teaching my friends.”
Geniuses who skip grades and enter college face one common problem.
Unconsciously imposing their own standards on their friends around them.
Even though their intelligence is high, they’re still mentally immature, so it’s difficult for them to recognize or correct this behavior.
So they force what they believe is right onto their friends, and when their friends don’t comply, they become disappointed. And as this repeats, they eventually grow distant from their friends.
Gradually becoming isolated, they eventually seek people who match their conversational level and enter college early.
“Just watching them is fun enough.”
“Ugh. A kid like you should come to graduate school…”
“I’ll pass.”
Graduate school, which turned Ada into a morning sleep witch.
I had no intention of going.
Johann, who was smiling, suddenly remembers something.
“Are you perhaps short on research funding? I’d like to sponsor you.”
Flinch!
‘As expected. Otherwise, there’s no way he’d appear on this kind of broadcast with a research project that just started.’
With the economy like this, even Stanford Medical School seems to have become quite poor.
Johann nodded as if he knew this would happen, and Jack Walter stuck out his tongue watching such Johann.
“Jefferson, could we exchange contact information?”
“Of course.”
Jack Walter wanted to exchange contact information with a future star, no, a genius who might become anything in the future.
‘No, if today’s broadcast airs, he’ll become a star!’
Jack Walter could guarantee it.
“Whew!”
That was fun.
‘Songs really should be sung in front of an audience.’
The concentration of dopamine and endorphins is different.
“Rick, I didn’t make any mistakes, did I?”
“None at all.”
It’s not just that he didn’t make mistakes.
“Johann was truly born to be a star.”
“Hahaha! Thanks for saying that.”
“Not at all. We’ve arrived.”
“Thank you for your hard work. See you this evening!”
Johann got out of the car and quickly entered Rocky Management.
“Jo, Johann!”
“Yes?”
The reception desk staff whose face had turned pale for some reason.
“Po, police came.”
“Why?”
“To arrest you…!”
“…What?”
Johann blinked his eyes.
* * *
“He should be arrested by now.”
The charge is assault.
They falsified a medical report claiming his son Eric was beaten by Johann, and also pulled strings with the LAPD.
There was no way for Johann Jefferson to escape.
“Still, detention will be difficult.”
That’s because Johann is a minor.
Even if he gets arrested today, he’ll be released after a brief investigation.
“Didn’t I say that doesn’t matter.”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”
Johann just needs to be investigated by the police.
In America, a minor’s wrongdoing is the guardian’s responsibility.
“Ada Wong, one of Johann Jefferson’s guardians, will have to take responsibility for failing to control the Wolf Boy’s savagery.”
That responsibility means stepping down from this case.
“We just need to avoid Ada Wong.”
“You’re saying the other lawyers at Lewis & Boris are fine?”
“They’re fine.”
Lewis & Boris has a total of four senior lawyers.
He’s confident he can beat the other three, or rather, lead them to a settlement.
“Still, you should prepare at least 3 million dollars.”
“I’m prepared for that much.”
He had fallen out of favor with Mr. Kellner.
He needed to show at least some sign of remorse.
“You thought well. Now let’s launch a public opinion campaign.”
Both men twisted their lips into smiles.
* * *
“They’re not here.”
Johann’s lips curl into a twisted smile.
The guys who tried to extort money from Mason and ended up getting Mason caught up in the kidnapping.
Since coming down from the forest, he’s used direct violence exactly twice.
Once on Flash, once on those guys.
Flash wouldn’t file charges, so the culprits could only be those guys, and as if confirming his suspicion, both of them are absent from school.
“Sh-should I try calling them?”
When Adam Kellner, Mr. Kellner’s son who was once part of their group but has now cut ties, takes out his mobile phone, Johann shakes his head.
“Don’t bother.”
They won’t answer anyway.
“I’ll see them next time.”
Pat pat. Johann pats Adam Kellner’s shoulder and turns around, while Emily, Flash and the others grit their teeth.
“Should we release the kids?”
They could find out where those guys are within 10 minutes.
Those guys who reported Johann claiming they got 3 weeks of medical treatment when they barely got hit.
Even though he wasn’t dragged to the police station, the fact that he was investigated by police makes his anger rise to the top of his head.
“S-sorry, Johann. Because of me…”
“If you’re sorry, make some Korean food.”
“…Th-that’s all it takes?!”
“More than enough.”
“Then I want braised short ribs!”
“Bulgogi! Japchae!”
“I want soy sauce tteokbokki!”
“Huh? Huh?”
Mason is confused.
Seeing his friends talk about food they want to eat first when their friend might get arrested, he wonders if they’re crazy.
“Hehe. It’s okay.”
“Right. If it’s Johann, he definitely won’t go to prison, right?”
Why is that?
It feels like Johann will easily overcome this crisis.
“Right?”
“Yeah. Those guys dug their own graves with their own hands…”
“Johann!”
Lucy urgently holds out her mobile phone.
Wolf Boy! Bites Human!
Crack!
“No, they’ve crossed a river they can’t return from.”
Johann’s eyes sink coldly.
“Johann, how many days until your police station appearance?”
“3 days.”
It was quite a coincidental date.
* * *
Three days later, late evening.
Johann, Larry, and Ada enter the police station lobby.
“It’s better to receive this kind of investigation late, right?”
“That’s right.”
Delay as much as possible, and it’s better to have the investigation time in the evening.
That way they can reduce the investigating officer’s concentration.
“Timing is important for this.”
They need to hit the perfect timing between when drunk incidents occur and after dinner time.
“Being a lawyer really isn’t an easy job.”
“There’s no easy job in the world, Johann.”
“That seems right.”
“More importantly, there really is no evidence, right?”
“Yeah.”
As Ada had advised before, he hit them in a place without CCTV. Even if there were scenes of them being dragged away and coming out, there were no scenes of them getting beaten.
“Well done.”
Johann nods and checks the time.
“Let’s go.”
‘It should be ending soon.’
They entered the police station.
“I’m telling you I didn’t do it!”
“Be quiet!”
A space filled with criminals shouting that they’re innocent and detectives pressing them.
Ada approaches a nearby detective.
“We’re here to see Detective Smith. Could you tell us who he is?”
“Detective Smith? Oh, there he comes! Senior Smith!”
“What! Huh?”
The detective walking out of the conference room looks back and forth between the conference room and Johann.
Johann and Ada’s gazes also turn toward the inside of the conference room, which is clearly visible through the glass walls.
More precisely, toward the TV inside the conference room.
‘As expected!’
“Huh?”
Larry and Ada’s eyes widen.
Johann is appearing on TV.
‘Ah! California Evening!’
Ada urgently looks at Johann.
‘If this goes well?’
Ada’s lips tremble for a moment before she approaches the detective and extends her hand.
“Are you Detective Smith? Nice to meet you. I’m Johann Jefferson and lawyer Ada Wong, here for questioning regarding today’s violence incident.”
“Ah, yes. I’m Smith, but…”
‘This kid committed such violence? A model student like that?’
His eyes seem to ask exactly that.
‘He saw it after all.’
Johann tugged at the edge of Ada’s sleeve.
“Ada, get ready.”
To prepare a lawsuit regarding false accusations.
“Yeah, we should.”
Sparks flew from Ada’s eyes.
