Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 151 Sunken Memory
"The Church of Poseidon."

Chloe said the word without hesitation.

Before she could transport the body, Xiusi found her.

After listening to Xiu Si's description, she immediately said this word. After hearing it, Xiu Si suddenly felt as if a series of memories were activated and instantly appeared in his mind.

The Church of Poseidon was one of the churches that had been expelled. Chloe once told him that this name could not be remembered, it would only gradually fade away and then disappear from his memory.

In the end, it became this weird state of "I remember this thing happening, but I can't remember what it was."

"Wait, how do you remember it then?"

Xiu Si suddenly discovered the blind spot.

"It's very simple. You've seen tattoos, right? It's just putting ink into the skin. If our memory is like writing on paper, then remembering things like this requires a tattoo, like using a needle to penetrate the memory deeper, so that no matter how it is washed away, it will not be easily forgotten."

"And this needle is will."

"Use your will to pierce the barriers of reality, engrave the memory on your soul, and you will never forget it."

Chloe said with a smile, she looked around the underground palace curiously. Although she had come across many banshees, this was her first time here.

"Using willpower to penetrate reality? Why does this sound so much like cognitive interference?" Hughes frowned. "Is this safe?"

"Of course it's not safe. Anything that causes turbulence in reality could lead to contamination. Cognitive interference is just that. Therefore, it requires a tempered will to achieve this—to resolutely and decisively penetrate reality and send memories deep into the soul. Any secret teachings."

"Okay, let's not talk about how to remember these things for now. You probably understand what we're facing now. Do you think these things are...?"

"We call it sunken memory."

"Okay, is it possible that some of the memories about the murlocs have become submerged memories, preventing us from correctly understanding what they did?"

"From your description, it does seem very similar, but unfortunately, I have no way of judging." Chloe shrugged and sat down on a rock. "The most troublesome thing about sunken memories is that they are forgotten unconsciously. How do you know what you have forgotten?"

"."

You are so right. The biggest trouble with forgetting is that you don’t even notice that you have forgotten it.

In other words, the Banshees might even have known something before, but unconsciously forgotten it?

This is troublesome.

“Will it work if I write it down on paper?”

"OK."

"So simple?" Zeus was a little surprised. "When you heard you talk about piercing reality with your will, I thought it would be very troublesome." "It's simple, but it's not reliable. You remember this line when you see it, but after turning a few pages, you might forget it. It depends on how deeply the memory has sunk. In short, if you don't engrave these memories on your soul, you will find it difficult to use them."

Xius was silent for a while, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

If Mind Link is like a chat software, can it be used as a NAS?

NAS, which stands for Network Attached Storage, is simply a storage space that can be connected to the Internet, and its functions are similar to various network disks.

If the mind link is a kind of network, then he can store the sunken memories in the mind link, just like storing chat records. Is this possible?
However, this kind of thing generally requires a server. Corresponding to the mind connection, he needs to find a way to find someone to engrave the meaning in the soul, and then when other people want to call it, they can call the memory engraved in the soul at any time.

Well, that feels good. Using a mind link to store memories, if it really succeeds, then he will have a database that can be shared with the banshees.

Speaking of mind links, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a mind link on the Golden Throne, but he didn't know the specific frequency and couldn't enter it. Could there be a database storing sunken memories there?

"However, silent memories are not completely unrecoverable. All memories leave traces, it's just a matter of depth. Perhaps at some point, your will will accidentally penetrate the barrier of reality and bring back some of the lost memories."

Xius blinked and said, "Speak human language."

"It's possible that the scene brought back memories. You don't remember the Church of Poseidon now, but once you enter the Temple of Poseidon, maybe you'll be able to remember everything—if you can really find that place."

"In other words, even if a memory has been lost, it may be suddenly recalled?"

"It's just a possibility, don't expect too much. By the way, the architectural style of your palace is quite nice." Chloe looked at the palace in the distance with great interest. After a moment, she spoke softly, "But I still suggest you be careful. The deep sea is almost a forbidden zone for transcendents. I don't know how your banshees avoid pollution, but pollution is something that no transcendent would underestimate."

"Do you know anything else about the deep sea?"

"Not many left. I haven't even heard of murlocs. The church evacuated the coast long ago. Most extraordinary people won't even board the ship—otherwise, the church would have exiled those workers here. They don't really care about this island at all. I've been at the church for so long, and no one has ever come to check on it."

Zeus frowned, but then he was relieved. The sea was full of pollution, and the Fire Moths came here to avoid being tracked down. No wonder the Empire had not given him any news about the murlocs before. Perhaps not only them, but even the Candlelight Society did not have much relevant information.

"Lord, what do you think?" Nini and Ash asked in the group chat.

"There's still too little information." Zeus shook his head. "Ash, if we want to form a team, break into the murloc settlement, confront that strange, polluted snake, and then retreat, is that possible?"

"It's not a big deal. About twenty Banshees should be enough, and with two more teams to support us, I'm confident we can get everyone out." Ash thought for a moment before replying.

Now many of the fishmen on the periphery have been killed. They already know that there is an enemy. There is not much point in continuing to hide. Instead, taking the initiative to attack can get more information and catch the enemy by surprise.

Zeus raised his head and saw the banshees around him looking eager to try.

"Get ready."
