Chapter 39: Brief Omniscience

What is the deepest despair?

Peggy stared blankly ahead, and there was nothing in front of her, as if nothing had ever appeared.

She was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered for no reason that she could sense the ritual of the law of death so easily, perhaps because she had already died once.

When she crawled out of the graveyard soil, she remembered that the sky was overcast, as if it was about to rain heavily.

Her body was as cold as the dead, and her heart was overflowing with despair and hatred, as if the joy and satisfaction of the living could no longer be felt.

Fortunately, after the excavation, he met Asker, and after that, he was slowly freed from hell.

"So, where do you go to find the deepest despair now?" Peggy sighed faintly and took out her small diary from the drawer, "If you can't find it, won't you be able to complete the condensation ceremony?" ”

Let's listen to the captain's advice and try to turn to the study of the Plague Law.

In the Fire Island, Mi'er has recovered from a state close to losing control, and all the sequences converge in her body, gradually condensing into the bloodline of the "Destiny Archer".

The shooter of destiny.

In her sight, there were suddenly countless lines of the world, extending from this end of the unknown to the unknowable other.

She saw the fate of all of them, their threads intertwined, tangled and bound into a long rope, and then ......

At some point in the future, these lines.

In an instant, tears flowed down her cheeks.

No, it can't be......

Never...... How could it be......

Suddenly she came to her senses and saw that Nora had pressed her shoulder, and the others were looking at her with concern.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that Mi'er finally came to her senses, Nora finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in shock, "Just now, your spirit body suddenly disappeared!" ”

"Gone?" Mi'er said blankly, reaching out and touching her cheek, only to find that her face was full of cold tears.

"You just sat on the ground, motionless, tears falling down your eyes." Mia also had a frightened expression on her face, and quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

Mi'er silently wiped the tears from her face, puzzled in her heart: What did I see just now?

It seems like some kind of extremely bad fate, but I can't remember it now.

Damn it! She silently clenched her teeth, how could she forget?

"Go and take a break, your face is so bad." Asker said.

Mi'er nodded, and left with Nola's help.

The follow-up psychotherapy took about half an hour before Nora came back with a solemn face.

"What the hell is going on?" Asker asked solemnly.

In the original game world, he hadn't heard of any abnormalities in the mind that would occur after the bloodline of the "Destiny Archer" was condensed.

"I don't know." Nora shook her head, "Her memory seems to be missing, about twenty seconds, which coincides with the time she just sat and cried. ”

"When you say lack of memory, do you mean unconsciousness? Or is it a lack of authenticity? Medea asked, frowning.

"Lack of authenticity." Nora replied.

"Wait, what does it mean to be absent in authenticity?" Asker asked.

"That's right." Medea explained to everyone lightly, "Compare people's memories to a long painting, and different ** in the memory correspond to different patterns painted. ”

"Sometimes, human beings will enter a state of inability to remember, such as being in a daze, or sleeping, and then there will be a blank space in the corresponding position of the painting, which is called 'unconsciousness'."

"In addition, in rare cases, such as memory loss due to a heavy blow to the head, the corresponding piece of the painting has been cut off, which is a 'loss of authenticity'."

"In a nutshell." Aske concluded, "Is it understood that unconsciousness is normal without memory, and true deficiency is that there is a memory that was originally there but was destroyed for unknown reasons? ”

"It's not." Medea said, "True deletion refers to memory loss, and we cannot determine whether the missing part has a memory or is originally blank." ”

"So, is there a way to restore her memory?" Asker asked.

"Medea, the missing memory fragment, are you going to find it in the subconscious ocean?" Nora asked.

"Yes, but not necessarily." Medea pondered for a moment and replied, "It depends on the reason for the loss." ”

"If it is an external cause, such as the influence of a supernatural force, the fragment is estimated to have sunk to the depths of the subconscious ocean, and it will definitely not be recovered; If it's her own body's protective mechanisms, such as amnesia caused by excessive stimulation, then the fragments and her mind may have a chain of adhesion that can be traced. ”

"In short, don't hope too much." She sighed at the end.

"Well, that's up to you, Nola." Asker said. After all, a psychiatrist is also a kind of doctor, and of course it is most appropriate to leave the relevant work to Nola.

"Okay." Nora nodded tiredly.

"Next up is Eleanor's promotion, can you still hold it now?" Asker looked at her and looked a little bad, "Do you want to take a break?" ”

"It's fine." Nora shook her head, "Let's go on." ”

"Asker." Medea said suddenly, "I've heard that transcendental beings who are based on the 'luck' sequence occasionally enter some kind of short-lived 'omniscient' state in the corresponding bloodline or law stage. ”

"All-knowing?" Asker asked. He hadn't really heard of it.

"Yes, omniscient." Medea frowned slightly, "If that's the case, then Mi'er's abnormal performance does she see some bad fate in the future?" ”

"Do you believe in such a thing as fate?" Asker asked her rhetorically.

"If luck exists, why doesn't fate exist?" Medea also asked rhetorically, "Don't forget the old fortune teller from the land of dragons. ”

"That's good." Aske said, "I have a sword on my body, and if you were the prophet of the Dragon Nation, would you have predicted whether I would draw my sword or draw it first?" ”

"I can't." Medea simply said, "Because as soon as I tell the result, you will do the opposite." ”

"In other words, predicting fate itself will disturb future fate, isn't it?" "There's no fate that can't be changed, and you don't need to care too much about what Mi'er sees. ”

"Just do your best to do what you are doing in the moment."

Medea knew that Aske was advising her not to dig too much into the memories of Mi'er's heart. However, Miss Succubus was of course not a little girl who obeyed Aske's words, so she said with a smile at the moment:

"Okay."

Just keep it secret.
