Ten Days End

"What?"

"I'm afraid my memory will disappear." Aries said, "I've never had this feeling before. I just gave myself subtle hints day after day, but now I'm a little scared... I have a lot of things I can't forget, and a lot of people I have to remember..."

That familiar feeling came again... Aries began to say something that I needed to understand carefully.

"I don't quite understand... Brother Yang." I said, "You are now a "earth-level zodiac"... It stands to reason that there is no possibility of "amnesia", right? In addition to continuing to "promote"... it's..."

"Destroyed into ashes" I couldn't say it, but Aries could definitely guess it.

"What if I want to become something other than a "zodiac"? "Aries asked, "I'm really a little scared... Yan Zhichun, I'm walking a road that no one in this world has ever walked, and I don't know what's waiting for me ahead of this road. ”

“I, I understand…”

Lu Xun said that there was no road in the world, but when more people walked, it became a road.

But if there is only one person walking in the dark in a dark direction… is it still a road?

“So how can we make memories engraved in our hearts?” Aries asked again.

“Brother Aries… you ask me this question… isn’t it a bit…”

“No, I think you can help me answer it.” Aries said, “You once solved a huge problem for me inadvertently.”

“I…?” I didn’t quite understand. The only time Aries needed my help was to find a “face”, but that “face” was not found by me.

“Yes…” Aries stretched out his white-haired hand and pointed to his temple, “That is the “storage of knowledge”. ”

I was slightly stunned: "You should have more knowledge than me now... but those are all from your own reading..."

"But you told me a simpler way to remember, which is to organize and summarize with the names of various effects and theorems, so that I only need to remember a few words to read the entire chain of knowledge."

I think Aries takes me too seriously. Even if he really doesn't know the names of those effects and theorems, it doesn't prevent him from thinking of these knowledge by himself.

"So do you have other simple ways to store memories?" Aries said, "Similar to effects, laws, and theorems, keep important memories through small things. ”

“This…” I thought about it carefully, and I seemed to have consciously learned how to remember things.

But my starting point is really different from Aries’… Because I didn’t have a good memory when I was a child, which led to poor academic performance, so I took the initiative to learn how to improve my memory.

But does Aries really need these memory methods?

“Brother Yang… I don’t know if you can use it…” I whispered, “If you want to remember something important, you can use the “anchor memory method”, which is to associate something else when you experience something important. In this way, when you see those things, it will trigger the memory of that time. ”

“Other things…?” Aries looked at me, “For example?”

“For example…”

I looked around for a long time and found that there seemed to be nothing in the room that could be used as an example.

I suddenly thought of something, so I reached out and knocked on the table in front of Aries.

“Dong Dong Dong”!

Aries was obviously stunned when he heard this sound.

"For example, this kind of sound." I said, "You can knock on the table when you feel it is important, so that the next time you knock on the table, you will remember what you were doing the last time you knocked on the table."

"So this is called the "anchor point memory method"..."

Aries nodded after hearing this. He didn't look like he had learned new knowledge, but more like he knew the name of a piece of knowledge that he had been using all the time.

"Brother Yang... have you been using this method for a long time?" I asked.

Aries didn't answer, but just sighed and said, "Yan Zhichun, what if I don't have anything to use as an "anchor point"? What if I can't even knock on the table?"

"This..." I thought for a while and said, "Under what circumstances do you want to establish an "anchor point"? "

"For example, in a dream." Aries said.

In a dream...?

"In fact, imaginary associations are also fine."

"Imagined?"

I turned my head and found that there was a cartoon lamb pattern on Aries' table.

"What is this...?" "I picked up the cartoon lamb and found that it was made of cloth.

"A "customer" left it here. She said she found it on the road and thought it was suitable for me, so she gave it to thank me for saving it for her."Aries said, "I don't like such a boring way of expressing gratitude. She might as well stay alive here."

I shook my head helplessly, moved the cartoon lamb forward, and inserted it into the chest pocket of Aries' suit.

"What?" Aries frowned at his suit.

I have to say... Aries's cold face with this cartoon lamb, the picture is indescribably weird.

"Brother Yang, you and this cartoon lamb don't match at all." I said.

"Do I need to say this...?" Aries asked in confusion.

"So this can also be regarded as an "anchor point." I said, "I don't know if you can understand this example. You don't usually wear clothes with cartoon patterns, but one day in your dream you suddenly find yourself wearing a shirt or suit with cartoon patterns, and you will immediately find that "something is wrong" or something like that..."

"Oh...?" Aries narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, and then nodded, "Any other examples? ”

“Uh… and…” I really don’t know how to give an example, “Brother Yang… what do you need to remember? I think we should analyze it according to the specific situation.”

“I…” Aries paused and said, “I need to remember a flawless symbol. She appears with “Summer” and disappears with “Summer”. She is pure white, quiet, and perfect. Her appearance will lead us to see the end of everything.”

I showed an embarrassed expression after hearing this. Aries’ statement was a bit too abstract.

What is he trying to remember?

It’s actually a flawless “symbol”…?

“At first, I want this symbol to lead me forward courageously, then I want to use this symbol to make myself fall into despair, then this symbol will make me feel that “something is wrong”, and finally she will lead me to the end.”

After Aries finished speaking, he looked at me and said, “How can I accurately and separately remember the different states in different time periods? "

Oh my god... Does Aries really not think highly of me?

This is obviously not a question I can answer. Aries seems to have revealed part of his plan to me, but each link is very abstract!

But I don't know why... I always feel that the situation he described is something I have seen in a book.
