Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 245 No trace
Zeus looked at Ash, then turned to look at Gaia.

Ash is the person Monica relies on the most. She always calls Ash sister and wishes she could hang around her every day.

Gaia is Monica's best friend. Although they are always making explosives and blowing up toilets, they bring a lot of vitality to the territory and many people like her.

And now, when Zeus looked up at the two of them, he felt a cold hand slowly grasping his heart.

"Neither of you remember Monica?" Facing Xius's gaze, the two nodded at the same time.

Zeus swallowed hard and tried to get his brain working, trying to understand what was going on.

Monica, that little girl, just disappeared from everyone's memory like that?

Even familiar tribesmen and best friends are completely gone?

If it weren't for Zeus, no one would remember her, and no one would know that she disappeared without a word.

Like water leaking out of the ocean.

No one remembers what happened beneath the calm sea surface. Only when the sea is about to dry up do people realize that something is wrong, but it is already too late.

and many more!

He mentioned Monica by chance today. Could it be that more people and more things disappeared silently without him even noticing?

A creepy feeling ran up my spine.

Calm down, calm down, Xius took a few deep breaths and forced himself to start thinking.

Suddenly disappeared from memory. Xiusi suddenly remembered a word, sinking memory.

That was the secret history Chloe told him, which would be automatically ignored by the brain and could not be remembered.

Could it be that the story about Monica has become a secret history?
No, that's not right. Sunken memories are just hidden deep in the memory, not completely forgotten. If Monica's name became a sunken memory, then the two of them should have remembered it the moment he mentioned it.

But the two people in front of me obviously don’t remember the existence of Monica. Why is that?
Is she not on the island, but outside?
The body of the worker Zeus was left outside for some reason, so would the same be true for Monica?
But even if he's not on the island, he won't be forgotten, right?

"Gaia, do you remember Ken?"

Gaia was stunned for a moment, then her expression became panicked, and she stuttered a little: "Ken, Ken he went out, what happened?"

"Don't worry, she's fine. Ash, do you remember Jeremiah?"

Ash nodded doubtfully. She had caught a glimpse of Jeremiah at the manor dinner party. He was a pirate captain with a big beard.

Well, it seems that the problem is not the isolation between the two sides.

Now Zeus was a little confused. Why did Monica disappear from people's memory inexplicably?
Where is she now?
In the ancient palace, Zeus opened his eyes on the golden throne. After glancing around, he began to search his memories.

After a long time, King Xius raised his head with a gloomy face.

"no problem."

"My memory is intact, and there are no signs of tampering. I must have known the banshee named Monica. This part of my memory is not false."

"But why has she been forgotten by others?"

He had called many people to confirm, and no one, from ordinary islanders to the extraordinary beings of the Fire Moth, remembered anything about Monica.

This matter is becoming more and more confusing. How could a person be suddenly forgotten by everyone?
He went to ask Richard, but he didn't know much about this. According to him, everyone in the Fire Moth would choose a direction to study in depth. After all, knowledge is endless, and the arrogant pursuit of all knowledge will only lead to sinking forever in the sea of ignorance.

Richard's research interests are related to medicine and biology.

Secret history, soul, and memory are among the most dangerous types of knowledge, and few people would choose them.

For example, Chloe. Since the investigation of Gem Bay required knowledge of this area, apart from Chloe, the remaining people studying the secret history were also on the airship, so Zeus really couldn't find anyone for a while.

So he could only try to find the direction himself.

Zeus' first choice was naturally to come to this palace and see if he could recall anything else.

"Well, it seems my memory hasn't been tampered with. It means that others have forgotten Monica. What's so special about Monica?"

"Well, now there's an easier way."

Zeus turned his head and looked at the body of the worker Zeus. If Monica was outside, there should be threads related to her.

Monica is a banshee, a sea creature. If nothing unexpected happens, she should still be in the sea water. There are not many silk threads in the sea.

Xiu Si made up his mind, his eyes fell on the worker Xiu Si, and soon, the worker Xiu Si raised his head and gave him a slightly shy smile.

Everything went dark before his eyes, his soul felt like it was falling, and then Zeus slowly opened his eyes.

Still in the deep sea.

Xius sighed, summoned his abilities, and tried to find Monica's thread.

"Thread. Ocean, huh?"

His hand quickly stopped. There were only a few silk threads in the sea. After careful inspection, he found that there were only two.

Ken and Jeremiah.

All but two of them left the sea.

Xius took a deep breath and a sip of water. Now he really had no clue at all.

There was no trace of Monica either on the island or in the sea outside. She was like an illusion, existing only in Hughes' memory.

If he also forgets, perhaps no one in the world will remember this name, remember this little banshee.

"This is trouble," Zeus muttered to himself. He connected the links of Jeremiah and others and sat quietly on the seabed to think.

fries:"!!"

French Fries: "Hey everyone, the connection is back! I thought I couldn't connect anymore!"

French Fries: "Hahaha, that's great. By the way, sister Gwen, you're still alive. Are you okay?"

French fries: 『@Gwen』

In the church on the Rhine, Beatrice's eyes flickered. She was now standing in front of a nun veiled in black, holding the Pope's scepter and posing.

"Slightly lift your chest and relax your right hand. Hold this position and don't move."

"How long do I need to maintain this posture? Even though I'm a transcendent, I can't hold it for too long. Four at most."

Hela lifted the black veil covering her face. Before Beatrice could see clearly, a strong light flashed, and one of Hela's eyes shone as bright as the sun.

"All right."

“Ugh!?”

"Your portrait is finished, Your Holiness. I will present it to you later."

"So fast?"
