Chapter 2 (2) Memory Warehouse

From the outside of the train, the sixth car is just an ordinary car, slightly longer than the others, and the special thing is that it has no windows. I would never believe that this carriage contained the memories of all the people who had passed away until I entered the interior. But once you enter this carriage, you will find that it has a special hole. When you open the door, you are greeted not by rows of seats resting, but by the universe. To put it more clearly, this is a dark space that stretches infinitely like the universe, and the lighting equipment is not electric lights or the like, but stars. Looking up at the sky, you can see an incomparably huge spiral galaxy, which is flat and bright white in the middle, and the stars with light blue and purple and white blending with each other are forming a vortex shape towards the foreign exchange, and there are countless relatively scattered small stars next to it, exuding a relatively faint light, and from time to time there are comets passing by. In this space there is a huge floating island made of stones, and on top of it stand countless bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of books, each of which is a person's life. Some books are very thick, and the life written should be colorful, some books are very thin, and some are even only the thickness of a piece of paper. In short, the length and excitement of life determine the thickness of the book.

It's not just me, Angelo, Phoebe, and Uncle Train to come in, but everyone else who works for the overalls imp can come in. To put it simply, this is a different dimensional space, with countless entrances, as long as you get the approval of the cargo pants ghost, you can enter. In addition to the Ariadne train, there are many other places in the world that have been set up specifically to fulfill wishes, whether it is a train like Ariadne, or a shop, a school or a studio, where people who work have a key to enter it. I don't usually like to go out, except for my colleagues and passengers on the train, the people I can meet here are the same people I meet who are called managers.

They call it the Memory Storehouse. The manager of the memory warehouse is a young man who likes to wear strange clothes, Roddy, with brown-black hair and brown-black eyes, and a face that has both Eastern gentleness and Western flamboyance, and is estimated to be a mixed-race child before his death. Alas, God is really eccentric, some people are born good-looking. He likes to make fun of pretty little girls, and he can tell me nonsense stories, and I was deceived by him more than once or twice when I first came, but he was a kind man. If you want to find someone to remember, just give him his name, personal information and photo, and he will tell you the location of the person's memory book after investigation.

"Chaoge, whose book are you looking for today?" He asked with a smile, not knowing what bad ideas he had.

"Zhen'er, a lovely fox demon lady." I handed him Zhen'er's message.

"Lovely Miss Fox Demon, I envy you very much."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, help me find it."

"Chaoge, let's change jobs!" He didn't care about my urging.

"No, you look bored here."

"Excessive!" He looked deeply hurt as he finally began to help me investigate Zhen'er's book, and after a few minutes, he found it, "Miss Kitsune's book is in the location of A-A1-18. ”

"Thanks, Roddy." I remembered something again and asked, "Roddy, do you remember your wishes?" ”

At that moment, he hesitated, but immediately replied with an understatement, "I don't remember", and then immediately resumed his frivolous attitude.

"Don't you really think about trading with me?"

I ignored him and turned to look for the book. A-A1-18 is located on the eighteenth floor of the A1 bookshelf in Area A. The reason why I asked Roddy if he remembered his wishes was because I found that in this world, in addition to those who run for the fulfillment of their wishes, there are also people who cannot say their wishes, and those who do not have wishes or who fulfill their wishes will disappear immediately, and those who cannot say their wishes are not without wishes, but have forgotten their wishes. Roddy forgot, Phoebe and Angelo couldn't say what they wanted, I couldn't figure out what I was looking for in this world, I met many people in the memory storehouse, all of them were just like me, they didn't have a clear purpose in life, and seemed to just "live" to kill time. So I came to the conclusion that the cargo pants imp did not choose his staff randomly, but chose those who couldn't even remember his wishes. Perhaps it is precisely because we have forgotten our wishes that we have no obsession and can realize our wishes for others without violating the laws of this world. I have no curiosity about what happened in my life, no matter how I think about it, I should be a useless waste material in my life, and my book of life must be thin and boring, and no one will want to read it. Thinking of Miss Fox Demon and those travelers who have been chasing on the road, I am a little incompelled and a little envious to be able to spend decades or hundreds of years for a person, one thing, and one dream. People are really amazing, if you don't believe in anything, you can't live without relying on anything, you don't have the courage to live. Once the belief is too deep and becomes an obsession, it will take a lifetime, even if it is dead, it is still impossible to completely forget, and it is still driven by it to be persistent, to fight for it, and to dedicate its noble and humble soul to it. Thinking of this, I suddenly like my job a little bit, and I have a lot of respect for the people of this world.

After searching for more than 20 minutes, I finally found the bookshelf where Miss Fox Demon's books were located, and all the book covers on this bookshelf were a little fancy. I still don't know how the books in the memory repository are sorted and categorized according to what criteria, not chronologically, not by "species". I also don't understand how Roddy was able to find the book he was looking for with a single form, though he said it was an ability given to him by the overalls imp. While I was thinking about these things while looking for a book, I suddenly caught a glimpse of an acquaintance.

"Yo, Uncle Train." I greeted the conductor and said that the conductor was also unkempt today.

"You are?" He had the image of seeing a stranger.

"I'm Chaoge! We're colleagues. "Is this uncle's memory the memory of a fish?

"Oh, it's Chaoge, I haven't seen you for a while, and I don't remember it." He smiled sheepishly.

It is true that although we work on a train, we see each other very rarely, and he generally stays in the seventh carriage, which is constructed in the same way as the sixth, but the books in it are not memories, but the wisdom of the world.

"Uncle, is there anything you have come here for?"

"Investigate something." He pushed the vintage glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Come to the Memory Warehouse to investigate?"

"Hmm."

"You don't want to abuse your power to check your memories, do you?" I'm kidding.

"No, I'm not interested, and I'll disappear if I see it."

"Is that looking at our memories?" We're talking about me, Phoebe and Angelo.

Uncle suddenly fell silent, wouldn't he? I'm just saying it casually...... In the future, please call me a thunder expert......

The atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, and I was a little uncomfortable with the silence.

"By the way, uncle, I've been here for so long, I don't know what your name is?" I digressed and tried to break the silence.

"Aizawa," he said slowly, "Yuji Aizawa." ”

"Oh, it's a Japanese friend. Is Aizawa-san human? I continued to ask, and since I knew that the people around me were witches, I began to care about the identities of various "people".

"I'm human, and I've only been here for seventy years."

Seventy years is a long time, okay? I secretly complained in my heart.

"You're also hired by the overalls imp?"

"Cargo pants imp? You're talking about the gods, right? ”

Judging from his cultural circle, he should indeed be called a god. Phoebe is called Lucifer because she believes that it was the fallen angels who led humanity out of the Garden of Eden and then led humanity against God's rule. This is the same story described in the later English writer Milton's "Paradise Lost". So in my cultural circle, should I call the overalls ghost "heaven"? Or "God"? It's a little strange, it's better to call it Brother Xiaotian...... But when it comes to the Garden of Eden......

"What's wrong?"

Phoebe told me that the people living in the small town are people who did not enjoy life well in life, so the greatest wish after death is to live an ordinary life, and they come together to form a city and a small town, where they can fulfill their wishes that they could not live with, and there is not even a language barrier between people, so it is like ...... Just like the paradise described in religion, the little imp in the cargo pants seems to be the god who created the paradise......"

"Mankind was expelled from the Garden of Eden," he said, "but it was man who created God, and in the myth of man's creation, man was expelled by God and expelled God above himself, and in the end he was creating a faith for himself." Human beings have never had a paradise, this is all their own imagination, there is no paradise in the world, if you want a paradise, it is impossible to succeed just by looking for it, perhaps it is because of this insight that human beings will create paradise. The formation of this world was not created by God, but by human beings themselves. However, it's not a paradise either. ”

"What do you mean?" I don't understand what it means.

"Chaoge, you've never been to a small town, have you?"

"Well, it's usually Phoebe who goes, and I don't really like to go out."

"Then when you're done with the matter at hand, let's go to the town with Phoebe to see if this is a paradise."

I nodded, and at the same time, I also found Miss Kitsune's book.
