[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

It is not an easy task to convert black squares into white squares.

As I said before, the black square is the bad memory of the person being extracted, so if you want to successfully transform it, you must transform the bad memory into a good memory.

But—how is this possible?

Memory is a person's brain's memory, retention, reproduction or recognition of things that he has experienced in the past.And the past - as we all know, cannot be changed.

People have always imagined that they can travel through time, wrote countless novels, made many movies, and put forward many hypotheses, such as the famous "grandmother paradox".But... Compared with "immortality", you can also rely on imagination to find (think) a feasible way, no one has ever taken a single step in "time travel".Because, it is too difficult, too difficult, even "difficult as ascending to the sky" can only be said to underestimate its difficulty here, after all, human beings can "ascend to the sky" long ago.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to "change the memory" to transform the black square, but soon, Mr. Owl and Mr. Crow found another way.

"Changing memory" and "changing the past" are still different after all.

The past cannot (at least not currently) be changed, but memories can be distorted.Whether it is hypnosis, suggestion or other methods, we can unknowingly make one or some people's impression of the same thing become completely different from the reality in a very short period of time.

Memory is not reliable.This truth is very sad, but it is indisputable.Of course, it is precisely because of its unreliability that it has the operability of "changing memory".

After the memory is extracted, that person will become a dark shadow, known as the "big black" guy.Although it is surprising, under certain circumstances, Dahei will retain a certain amount of sanity.However, after all, there is not much sanity that Dahei can retain, and their purpose, in the final analysis, is only one, and that is to avenge the culprit who turned them into what they are now.

Of course, if they had other obsessions and were very firm during their lifetime, they would not forget them even after they became Dahei.

Although it is easy to say, we must not forget one thing: although memory is easily distorted, only some details can be easily changed, and generally it is difficult to change - of course, I mean using simple methods .

For Mr. Owl and Mr. Crow, they can use the power of Rusty Lake to immerse Dahei in his past, use "some method" to change the "past" they thought, and then change their memories to achieve their own goals. Purpose.

So, what is "a certain method"?

Hmm... This has something to do with "memory" again.In fact, in addition to black squares and white squares, other methods can be used to extract other types of squares, such as blue squares.

And the blue square can make people (big black) think (note the word) that they have "returned to the past".And people (Dahei) instinctively don't want to let the bad past happen again, and they already know how the "past" happened, so naturally they won't let them repeat the same mistakes.And when they do that...the black squares can become white squares.

Of course... If that person really fails, there is no way, anyway, it is memory, and it is completely fine to do it again.Anyway, in order to achieve their goals, Mr. Owl and Mr. Crow will be watching.

……

The last ray of sunlight also disappeared into the sky, and the sky completely darkened.

We know that this side of Rusty Lake, at a good point, is a paradise, and at a bad point, it is isolated from the world, the kind of rows of street lights, colorful neon lights, shining street signs... and so on, in this kind of Places are obviously impossible to exist.

People living in big cities have not had the opportunity to see the galaxy in the sky for a long, long time.Maybe occasionally when the sky is clear and cloudless, they can only catch a few solitary stars when they raise their heads.Anyway... the author himself can't remember at all, there was a time when he didn't see the beautiful Milky Way from TV.

For urbanites, "blindness" has never been possible under the cover of the sky.Even in the middle of the night, you can easily find your way home without using a flashlight.

Perhaps some people like this state very much, and there are other groups of people who can cite classics to explain the various disadvantages of this phenomenon. What do you think, everyone has a different opinion.

Logically speaking, after dark, the surrounding area of ​​Rusty Lake becomes a very suitable place for stargazing, but unfortunately... everyone here is very tired, and no one has the leisure to stay outside.In addition, for some unknown reason, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds... Even if someone wants to do this on a whim, it may not be possible to do so.

……

Yemengard walked into his room, turned on the light, and locked the door behind his back.

The obvious first thing a normal person does upon entering a hotel room is to unpack, get out all the necessities and rush to the bathroom to take a good shower and relax.But... we all know that Yemengard obviously cannot be counted among the "normal people".

She walked to the window and pulled open the curtains forcefully.

I don't know what it's like when you travel and live in a hotel, but I rarely draw the curtains.Privacy is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I feel that the curtains are probably not changed for a long time, and they must be dirty...

Yemengard's room is located on the third floor of the hotel. When looking out from here, the view is very good.But it was getting late, and there was nothing to see at this time.

Yermungandr lowered his eyes and looked down at the Rusty Lake.

The rusty lake seen during the day has rippling blue waves and clear water. Although it cannot be called "beautiful", it is not an exaggeration at all to be "pleasing to the eye".But now...

Although the light is dim (the only light source comes from the hotel), it can still be seen that the water of Rusty Lake is dark red.

It's like blood—thick blood, as if... Countless people were buried in Rusty Lake, and their blood stained the entire lake red.

Or maybe, this is not a metaphor, but real?The corners of Jormungandr's mouth curled up slightly, and it was hard to tell whether she was smiling or not.

Maybe, maybe not.

……

Jormungandr had seen countless deaths.

When I was a human being at the beginning, it seems... I saw a lot. After becoming SCP-722, many human beings were killed by her venom; in the world of Cthulhu (too lazy to type so many words) However, the fanatics who summoned her have never survived after seeing her avatar; after that... let alone.

Her experience can be said...unmatched by anyone, and it is precisely because of this that she is so indifferent when she sees all kinds of sensational events.It can't be said to be cold-blooded, but...it will indeed make other people who see it feel terrified.Of course, she herself would never care about this.

Human desires are terrifying.No one knows what unbelievable things they will do when driven by their own desires.Maybe not on purpose, but in some ways Jormungandr does understand human nature well.

Perhaps, it is precisely because she is not human that she can analyze rationally and objectively from the perspective of a bystander.

Maybe this is also one of the reasons why Nyarlathotep's tricks (Nia: Trick? Hehe...[Smile.jpg]) can succeed so often?

……

After looking at the scenery outside the window for a while (in fact, there is nothing to see _(:з」∠)_), Ye Mengjiad drew the curtains, sat on the chair, and did nothing.

After a while, she suddenly said, "Are you here for revenge?"

It was a single room, and there was no one in the room except her.Such "talking to oneself" should have been a bit ridiculous, but when she made it, it felt strange for no reason, and the temperature of the whole room seemed to drop silently following this sentence.

Ye Mengjia was very patient.In other words, she has no such thing as "impatient" at all.Just sat in the chair motionless for about 10 minutes.

"...Are you talking to me?" A voice sounded hesitantly.

"You are the only one who is sane here." Jormungandr's tone was very calm.

"And... I think it can be seen from the direction of my gaze," she added.

If an ordinary person stood here, he might not only be confused by Jormungandr's soliloquy, but might even be horrified.However, if a psychic or... other related persons (there are too many kinds to mention) are here, the truth will be detected immediately.

In this rusty lake, countless lives were buried.Like we said before.

After dying in such a painful way, how could the soul after death leave so peacefully without any abnormality?

However, Rusty Lake itself is also an unusual existence. These souls did not come out to cause trouble like a famous horror movie in a certain island country, and they did not even have any clear consciousness.

Of course, there are exceptions.For example, this dear friend who is talking to Jormungandr.From the actions of the other party, it can be seen that it is not only rational, but also patient, and those coquettish bitches... Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm interspersed.Anyway, you guys know what I mean, don't you?

"I don't care what you are here for, anyway... get out of here, the sooner the better, the farther the better!" The voice of this big black—yes, it is maintaining the shape of a big black—was a bit vague Clear, but it's nothing to Yemengard.
