Chapter 43 The invisible hand of fate

"Modify memory!" Xing Tianyu immediately felt a little alert when he heard this word. In his opinion, memory represents the value of a person's existence. It can be said that human existence is composed of memory. If memory is modified, then the whole person will be completely different from his previous self.

If you forget your true past and your mind is filled with a bunch of fictional memories, then are you still yourself?

Thinking of this, his eyes immediately became more hostile when he looked at Song Leshui.

However, he did not show it immediately. Song Leshui would say this idea directly, and there must be his explanation.

"Your tone sounds like this is a good thing. Let's talk about it, why should I modify my memory?" Xing Tianyu asked calmly, but Song Leshui still instinctively felt a little pressure.

He hurriedly explained, "It can't be said to be a good thing, but for you, you have more choices. Didn't you want to strengthen your emotions before? This kind of thing is impossible under normal circumstances, but now it seems that you are really likely to achieve your ideas. Human emotions come from what happened in the past, that is, memory.

For example, if you were born and died on the battlefield in the past, killed countless people, and were used to life and death, then you can be naturally full of courage.

But if you have never encountered any danger in the past, have never seen blood, and have never walked around at night, then you are naturally susceptible to fear.

Although we can use psychological reflexes to awaken a memory to gain an emotion, this kind of awakening is actually very limited. Think about it, in the memory you were looking for just now, you just muster up the courage to fight with two little punks and save a girl. Do you think this behavior is very brave? Yes, when you were young, this behavior was almost considered a warrior, but for you now, can you still think so? You should know that the two little punks won't really do anything to you. It's just a beating you.

Even if I set the trigger switch for you, the courage you bring to you when you awaken this memory emotion is very limited. I don’t know why you want to awaken your emotions, but judging from the requirements you gave, such courage does not seem to meet your expectations.

But if we re-edit your memory, replace the two little gangsters with a group of gangsters, or even a group of professional killers, give each of them a submachine gun, replace the little girl with your relatives, and then in this memory you kill these guys alone and save your relatives, then when you awaken this memory again, the courage you can feel will be far more than the original memory."

Xing Tianyu was shocked when he heard this. What Song Leshui said made a lot of sense, but he just wanted to learn self-hypnosis. Why did he make so many tricks in one go?

"So will this kind of modification of memory have an impact on my personality?" Xing Tianyu asked without comment.

Song Leshui nodded, "That is very likely. Human character is created by past experiences. Once your memory is modified a lot, it will naturally affect your personality to a greater or lesser extent. So I did not directly modify your memory just now, but awaken you first to seek your opinions. After all, this kind of thing depends on the wishes of the customer."

And you should not take this influence too seriously. People’s memory itself is easily affected. Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I especially liked to eat an instant noodles. In my memory, this brand of instant noodles has a very special fragrance, but this instant noodles gradually became less sold, which made me very regretful.

A few years ago, I found that this brand of instant noodles was still being produced online, so I immediately bought a box online. After I sent it, I found that it was very unpalatable when I ate it again. It was completely inferior to the taste of the mainstream brands, and it was not as fragrant as I remembered when I was a child.

Later I went to consult and asked them why they wanted to change the recipe. No one has eaten it now. As a result, what do the workers say? They said that the recipe for instant noodles has never been changed, exactly the same as that of the past. So the question is, why did the instant noodles I ate when I was a child have completely different tastes? I think you must have encountered similar things."

Xing Tianyu nodded. Indeed, many childhood memories often find some changes when revisiting them. "What do you mean is that many things in our memory are exaggerated by some of our emotions?"

"That's right, that's it. Our memories will deceive us. The beautiful girl in your memory may look like an ordinary little girl. The tall buildings in your memory may be just a five or six-story residential building. The terrible monster in your memory may be just a dirty wild dog. The memories will gradually change over time, and it is precisely our brain that promotes this change.

So look, changing memory is not as scary as you think, because our brains often modify our memories. At most, what we do is to increase this change. Of course, I suggest that you modify your memories because you want to strengthen your emotions. If you don’t let me edit your memories and just reflect your psychological reflexes based on past memories, you will not be able to gain much emotional enhancement. If you are not urgent about this need and are afraid of the side effects of modifying memory, just pretend I didn’t say it.”

Song Leshui looked clear of his tone, but Xing Tianyu was so excited that Song Leshui must have wanted to do such an edit. He guessed that for Song Leshui, his situation was probably very rare.

Song Leshui analyzed the interests of the matter very well, and it did not seem to be very scary about memory modification. Although there were some hidden dangers, the benefits brought were huge.

If you add four new paragraphs to your memory to strengthen your four emotions, then Xing Tianyu is almost confident of exerting the power of spiritual magic to the greatest extent. In that case, the threat of the Nightmare King seems to be solved in an instant.

However, Xing Tianyu still instinctively wanted to refuse. Xing Tianyu was worried that changing memory is different from having a dream. Things you saw in the dream will quickly dissipate, but memories will accompany you for the rest of your life. What if you go crazy because of this?

Those lunatics in the asylum kept saying that they had seen aliens and monsters that did not exist. Isn’t it very likely that the memory was modified by emotions?

What if I became such a lunatic?

He opened his mouth, and his cautious personality once again played a role, instinctively trying to refuse. However, this time, he did not say the words of rejection, but fell into deep thought.

He was wondering why he fell into such a strange situation again and why this entangled mentality seemed to be acquaintance.

He recalled silently, and from when he didn't know when he felt that there was always an invisible hand of fate that was driving every move. When he lived peacefully, a will from Daqingshan appeared. When he refused to enter the door, Xiao Zhen instigated Qin Ming to open the door. When they agreed that each person would only summon it once, Qin Ming had an accident. When he finally finished everything in Daqingshan and felt that he could live a free life, Qin Ming died.

When he finally escaped from Yequan Town alive and felt that he could finally live a peaceful life, the Nightmare Universe had a mess again.

Every time he faces a life-and-death moment, he always chooses the safe and reliable option as much as possible, always wants to stay out of it, always wants to solve all problems once and for all, but every time, he is always dragged into the water again.

It was as if the more he wanted to get rid of all this, the more the crisis would come to him. At this moment, he had a strong premonition that if he refused to use this method to improve his strength, if he left this room, danger would come to him again.

He could even almost infer what would happen next.

First of all, because of my cautious personality, I am afraid that editing memory will bring danger, so I refuse to edit memory and choose to leave.

Then, when he returned to the hotel to rest, he entered the nightmare space because he could not bear the sleepiness. He met the Nightmare King and was locked in his position by the Nightmare King.

Then he had to run back, and in order to face the upcoming pursuit, Song Leshui asked him to edit his memory.

What if I chose to edit my memory?

Then it is very likely that I will survive the pursuit of the Nightmare King and may even get rid of this crisis, but there will definitely be more accidents in the future, which will never be able to calm down. This accident is caused by editing my memory, and then in order to repair my memory, I will face more difficulties and choices.

This feeling came to his heart for no reason and could not be gone.

He did not agree or refuse immediately. Looking at Song Leshui, Xing Tianyu asked the doubt in his heart: "Doctor Song, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever felt like this? You know that something will happen soon. Although there is no reason or any sign, you just know that something will happen."

Song Leshui thought for a while and nodded: "What you mean is the 'subconscious alarm'. Your subconscious mind has discovered a problem, but your subjective consciousness has not yet discovered it. So your subconscious mind will give your subjective consciousness some reminders. Sometimes you will dream of something about to happen, or suddenly have a strong premonition. This is the subconscious mind that is causing trouble. What you premonition may really happen, because the human subconscious mind is much more sensitive and smarter than the subjective consciousness."

He suddenly smiled bitterly when he said this, "It's like me, when I gave a patient a hypnosis treatment, I felt something might be wrong. I could have given up that treatment, but I always felt that things were not as likely to be so coincidental," he spread his hands and got to this point.

After hearing this, Xing Tianyu couldn't help but feel confused. It's really possible that such a hand of fate is playing with his own voice? So what should he do? Go with the flow or disrupt this cycle?

He thought to himself, and subconsciously raised his own question to Song Leshui, "Do you believe in fate? Do you think that all our actions are actually at the mercy of an invisible hand of fate?"

Song Leshui shook his head this time: "You are called 'dulgence of being murdered'. You think that more than 6 billion people in the world will always encounter some very coincidences and incredible things, and then start to doubt life. This kind of thing is very common. However, if you really doubt that you are being merciless by the hands of fate, just test it out."

Xing Tianyu's eyes lit up after hearing this. Yes, he really needs to test it.

But he came up with an idea.

"I will not agree to you for the time being, nor will I refuse you, because I want to leave. I may be going home, or just going out for a walk, maybe I will come back tomorrow, or maybe I will come back soon."

Song Leshui was confused when he heard this, but Xing Tianyu smiled mysteriously, turned around and walked out of Song Leshui's house, and walked straight towards the hotel when he came. He walked very slowly, observing the surroundings while walking and observing the surroundings. He was searching for a sign.

Xing Tianyu found that every crisis he experienced in the past seemed to have a pattern. Before every time a mixed [event] really happens, there will always be a sign, telling himself that an [event] is about to happen, and this [event] has both benefits and risks, but at the same time there will be a clue, reminding himself that if he wants to escape this [event], he may encounter worse results.

If you want to find out whether this is a suspicious person or if you really have a hand that cannot be seen clearly, just see if there will be so-called signs.

However, it was quiet at night, and there was no one on the street, and the signs seemed to be of no intention to appear.

The difficulty is that I am really delusional? Seeing that I am about to return to my hotel, Xing Tianyu was a little disappointed, but he felt relieved.

Just when Xing Tianyu felt a little funny about his suspicion, the ringtone of his phone suddenly rang.

Xing Tianyu answered the phone, "Hey."

"Hey, Brother Viking, it's me, Death Wings." Death Wings' voice on the phone was trembling, and seemed to be very frightened.

"What's wrong with you? It sounds very nervous?"

"I'm dying, I'm dying. It's a hell. I tried to resist entering the Nightmare Space again and again, but I couldn't help it. As a result, I was suddenly found by the Nightmare King. Although I woke up immediately, I felt that the Nightmare King had already set his sights on me. I'm going to be finished. I called to remind you, don't enter the Nightmare Space, don't!"

Listening to the warning of Death Wings, Xing Tianyu was completely stunned.

"Thank you, I'll be careful."
