Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 915 Ximen Qing's Confession (Part 3)

“Harriet learned forbidden knowledge that she shouldn’t have, and she came to me, asking me to come to the modern world to continue her research.”

“Wait, you’re from the old history, but you’re very young, and you haven’t even lived your whole life yet. You shouldn’t have a complete life memory, right?” Xia Shou noticed the suspicious point.

"Yes, I've already passed through it. I was supposed to die, but I feel like I've died once. I've lost consciousness."

But Harriet brought me back to life. She revived me shortly after I lost consciousness and restored my body to its youthful state. In the end, I took her place and came to the modern era.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that I wanted to replace her, it was that she made me do it. She hoped that I could take over her theory and continue the research. She felt that only I could perfect that theory, and at that time she didn't have much time left to be lucid.

So I need to find that dog, and find how it uses its ability to stitch its own time into other people's personal time.

Xia Shou's eyes lit up under the hood. His first reaction was that this was impossible, and his second was that he might not have understood the other person's meaning.

"What did you say? You mean...?"

“Do you know that dog’s abilities? It can enter anyone’s personal time, truly appear in a person’s past life, and change the present by altering that person’s real past,” Ximen Qing said.

“You seem to know a lot about that dog, and you also seem to know a lot about the Scar Era,” Xia Shou asked cautiously.

He had been suspicious of this for a long time.

The Bureau of Control is particularly familiar with the Scar Era because of Zhang Heping, but Sparrow and his team do not have direct, firsthand information, nor do they have the Bureau of Control's ability to investigate the local customs and culture of the Scar Era in such a short time.

But they knew the Scarred Age very well; their plans to steal from the palace and use history to plot against Sprite were far too detailed.

Sparrow's intelligence must have come from Ximen Qing. Judging from Sparrow's words and reactions on the ship, one would know that this was the case.

But where did Ximen Qing learn all this from?
"Where did you learn all this from?" Xia Shou asked.

Have you ever heard of the Six-Eyed Cult?

"Have not heard."

"In modern times, the Six-Eyed Cult is a sect that believes in the Horse in the Forest. They often appear beside the people involved after a major event has ended, asking about the details of the event."

They remain uninvolved in any events, only appearing after everything has settled down, recording everything that happened, and simply recording without publicizing it.

This sect has existed for a very long time, and I was once a member of it.

Mr. Faust, do you know anything about the anonymous?

Xia Shou nodded: "I know."

“That’s good, then it’s alright.” The other person said, “Mr. Faust, now that you know about the Nameless Ones, have you ever thought about who the Nameless Ones of the Age of Scars are?”

“I’ve considered the possibility of Nameless Ones, but even if there are, I assume they won’t be involved in this,” Xia Shou said. Xia Shou first learned about the concept of Nameless Ones from Glendale, then from Rosa, and finally understood the entire mechanism of Nameless Ones when the Death Record Notes explained the functions of the Jade Division.

The nameless are those who have the potential to create adequate supplies of desire for the gods, but are currently unable to do so, much like an apprentice whose work is not ideal but whose potential is limitless.

Although Natsumori did not inquire about the more specific details, according to the description in the Death Record Notes, the Nameless Ones do not necessarily appear in every cycle of history.

The masterpieces of the proxies are all refined by the Ink Jade Division, while the semi-named authors with potential in their works are also given the opportunity to continue their efforts and become anonymous.

However, those who are anonymous cannot arbitrarily change the history they live in or destroy the beauty of the work. That is why they need to use the Truth-Delusion Syndrome to recruit disciples in the present world in order to gain recognition in this world.

Of course, not every special history is a work created by proxy. Some are created for special reasons, and the specific reasons are varied and countless. The Death Notes once gave a rather extreme example: if the number of semi-named persons qualified to be named in an era is too exaggerated, then it will also be made into a cyclical history.

Such history is not for viewing, but for preserving the potential of precious works.

Such history does not follow the usual cyclical patterns of history, and often involves major battles between various anonymous entities.

In short, it is normal for there to be unnamed individuals in a historical period, and it is also perfectly normal for there to be none. Moreover, since unnamed individuals generally do not affect the historical cycle they belong to, Xia Shou did not pay much attention to them this time.

But since Ximen Qing brought it up, it means the situation isn't that simple.

Xia Shou found it hard to imagine that there were nameless people with such a long time span. The time from the Scar Era to the present day is not measured in millennia, but there are long gaps in between, so the specific time difference cannot be determined.

Can someone who has been anonymous for so long really influence the present world? Do the gods allow it?

If this is allowed, wouldn't the indirect impact of the countless anonymous people accumulated over the long years on the present world be ridiculously large?

But he didn't think it was that exaggerated. The recent case involving an anonymous person was also a Blood Mother Cult incident orchestrated by Glenn Doyle.

Oh right, I almost forgot. Only those with Abyss Syndrome are qualified to become disciples, so the number of disciples is extremely rare compared to the number of Nameless Ones accumulated in the past. If a Nameless One can snag even one, they're already considered incredibly lucky.

Of course, once you have a disciple, the rest becomes much easier, because a disciple can recruit disciples, and under the guidance of an older disciple, a new disciple can more easily overcome delusions and establish a connection with the mentor.

“There were anonymous individuals in the Scar Age, but no one in the sect knew their names or their genders. Even if someone did know, that person would certainly be lying and claiming ignorance.”

The members of the Six Eyes Cult, including myself, actually didn't know the purpose of their leader. I think such a leader is very rare among the Nameless Ones, which is why so many people have submitted to him.

We disciples don't have to do anything, and we don't have any instructions to help with the naming of the world. We just need to keep observing the world, keep learning about what's happening in the world, and be a quiet observer. That's fulfilling our most basic duty.

Observation... Observation is also necessary for my research. At that time, I was constantly thinking about the way to rise in the Origin Sea, because if you want to go upstream, you will suddenly enter unfamiliar sea areas that you have never been before. In the process of going upstream, time seems to break.

I thought... if we could find a pattern, going up wouldn't be so difficult, so I started analyzing the possible changes in the sea area during the ascent process.

My nameless mentor gave me a lot of inspiration, and everything I know about the Scar Age came from him. The Six-Eyed Cult of my time was rewriting the history of the Scar Age.
