Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

Loki's optic nerve was showing images, and he used his consciousness to check the subsequent speculations about collective amnesia.

Psychologists say that their thinking and memory are suggested by an unknown phenomenon, collective thinking, so that their memory of general information is complete, but some key memories are intentionally skipped and deleted. ignored.

There may even be barriers set in that key memory.

Because human memory exists by association, and if the connection in the memory is cut off, then even if the memory exists, it is as if it has disappeared.

As for who did it, causing every local resident to lose a memory, psychologists are also puzzled. He said that some psychologists may make people forget certain memories through suggestive hypnosis such as language, gestures or objects. But asking so many people to forget a specific memory at the same time, or even make the memory disappear completely?That is not something humans can do.

Psychologists speculate that this may be due to a natural phenomenon that cannot be explained by science, some strange magnetic field, or gases produced by mineral mining.It is always an unsolved mystery even now.

Loki checked back again, but that show hired some psychics and shaman-like liar experts to scaremonger the incident, so it didn't have any reference value.

A kind of psychological suggestion, a large-scale psychological suggestion to the extent of causing "collective amnesia".

Loki ruled out some unrealistic conjectures, and this was a more reasonable answer.

As for why Loki himself didn’t lose his memory?

He attributed it to the quantum biocomputer, which made his memory thinking very different from that of ordinary humans. His memory recall method relied entirely on simple systematic extraction rather than direct contact with imagination.

Silent Town is not as simple as it seems, but this is collective amnesia, which is not enough to scare away this bold half-elf boy.

'Bang, bang...bang'

At this time, Loki's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a series of knocks on the door, and his eyes suddenly became suspicious. He experienced a strange phenomenon of collective amnesia, and he had to be more vigilant.

He quietly took out the crossbow and strung it, then he quietly walked to the door with the short-arm crossbow in hand.

Loki lowered his body to the floor and quickly looked at the situation outside the door through the gap under the wooden door.

nobody?There was an empty space under the door, so he immediately stood up and quickly opened the door.

There was no one in the corridor, and apart from the series of knocks on the door, the sonic hearing system didn't detect any other people's sounds. It was really strange.

There was a series of small footprints hanging in the dirt on the floor of the corridor, the same as the one seen last night, and they seemed to be left by a six or seven-year-old child.

The footprints had disappeared when they reached the stairs. Even Loki, who had basic tracking skills, could not find any other clues.

Loki asked the owner of the Annunciation Bird again about this matter. Old Mandel said that this was just a trick of naughty children. Some children in the town like to run hide and seek in the hotel and often make the place dirty. There is nothing strange about it.

The half-elf boy was not easily dismissed. He pestered Old Mandel to chat again, asking about some local things in detail, and often asked about trivial details, even the privacy of the hotel owner, with the intention of asking for details.

Old Mandel Bird soon became impatient and had no good temper towards customers. In the end, he didn't answer anything and went downstairs with an angry look on his face.

These questions are actually not difficult to answer, such as: What year is it today?you

What are the names of your parents?What do they do?How was the Annunciation Bird Inn established?Since when did it start operating?Who painted that ugly sign?

Although these questions were relatively rude, while Old Mandel was angry, he really had no relevant and accurate memory. Even the simplest names of his parents could not be clearly stated. He only remembered that they also had the last name of Annunciation Bird.

Something like Alzheimer's disease...

But Loki's tendency toward innkeepers is collective amnesia.

Because he later verified with the tavern owner and some small town residents that everyone had a similar situation, with memory loss and no recall at all.

Loki gave up the idea of ​​staying in the Town of Silence forever. He planned to take a good rest before leaving this strange place...

After returning to the hotel, the boss's anger had not subsided, but for the sake of money, he still prepared a delicious meal for him.

During the day, some residents of the friendly town were offended by the outsider's strange questions, and now no one looked at him favorably.

Loki didn't care. After dinner, he returned to the room. His vigilance increased little by little, as if he had returned to the dangerous Forest of Secret Whispers.

The crossbow string was placed on the machine gun, and the crossbow arrows were also loaded. Short-edged weapons were all within easy reach, and the dog-legged knife was stuffed under his pillow.

……

The night passed quietly like this. The town was still so peaceful and peaceful, but it was a bit strangely peaceful.

The beautiful weather woke him up in the morning, but Loki was not in a good mood. The Annunciation Bird boss looked at him going downstairs with a surprised look on his face.

Obviously, the hotel owner didn't remember him again, so Loki spent a lot of time and asked the Santa Claus owner to happily prepare breakfast for him.

Sometimes Loki really wanted to knock this old fool on the head.

But using such crude physical methods will probably not help the collective amnesia.

Loki planned to use the morning to find another famous outsider in Silent Town - the trainer Barney Longbow. Not only did he want to ask for advice on learning some martial arts or skills, but he also wanted to know about Lao Ba. Does Nigeria also have a case of collective amnesia?

He had found out clearly at the tavern yesterday that old Barney should be resting at home right now, and Loki planned to go directly to visit him. He couldn't wait any longer.

There is a two-story wooden house in the south of Silent Town. After asking around halfway, Loki identified the trainer's home. This former adventurer was said to have no children and lived alone in this big house.

After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was a strong and tall old man. Looking at the half-elf boy at the door, he frowned.

"Child, was it you who knocked on the door? I don't seem to recognize you."

Old Barney Longbow had a scar on his face, and his gray hair was meticulously combed into a back. From his appearance, he did not look like a former adventurer, but more like a stereotyped conservative aristocrat. According to the tavern owner, Old Barney is a passionate and stern man who is not easy to talk to, otherwise he would not be charged agency fees.

Loki nodded slightly and said calmly: "Yes, Mr. Longbow, I'm here to find you."

"Boss Barrel once introduced you as not only a respected trainer, but also an adventurer with world-famous experiences. He said that I could introduce you to you, but I think it's better to come and visit yourself."

These words were very helpful to Old Barney, and the scars on his face were no longer so hideous.
