Chapter 132: Shark Targets the Doctor

The originally whole soul, under the influence of the outside world, was torn apart by itself and turned into two independent but entangled and connected individuals. Although the newborn one is still immature, it is full of madness due to the cruel treatment of the outside world, and the influence of the sea cells from the deep-sea hunter's body makes this madness more inclined to bloodthirstiness and killing. It seems that with a little guidance, relying on the deep-sea hunter's powerful physique, the girl in front of him will become the craziest and most terrifying meat grinder on the battlefield.

However, under the guidance of Kal'tsit and Skadi, what is revealed at this time is another part of the original appearance of the deep-sea hunter named Laurentina. Although this part has lost its original memory, it still retains its own rationality with the help of the outside world, and buries the madness brought by years of experimental life in the deepest part of its soul.

In the original history, it was not until the Fool's Ship incident at the end of 1998 that Ghost Shark recovered his past memories with the help of Gloria and reached a reconciliation with himself, accepting his past self and his Ghost Shark self completely, allowing Ghost Shark to turn back into Laurentina.

And what Ark has to do now is the same. He will use the sheep spell to operate on the soul to awaken the ghost shark's original memory, and then use the power of the tiger spell to restore the originally severed soul to its original state. Although the effect will be slightly different from the ghost shark's own memory recovery in the future, it is not a big problem. Just rest for a while, let the past personality digest the current self, and let the current soul accept the past memories.

Fang Ark gently took his fingers away from the ghost shark's head, looked at Kal'tsit and nodded.

"There is a way?"

"Yes, it's very simple from my perspective, but it requires a period of rest after treatment to give Miss Ghost Shark some time to recover. After that, I believe we will be able to see a... ummm, a Ghost Shark that should be familiar yet unfamiliar to Skadi."

Ark's words made Skadi have a question mark on her head, while Ghost Shark showed a curious look.

"Familiar yet strange? What does that mean?"

"Oh? Doctor, are you saying you have a way to turn me back to my old self?"

The killer whale and the shark asked their own questions at the same time.

"It's not about returning you to your old self, it's just about bringing back your past memories, and the experiences you had during the time you lost your memories will not be forgotten.

That's why you need to rest after treatment, because it requires the present you to accept your past self, and the past you to understand your present self. It feels like asking two strangers to merge into one, and it takes time for you to accept it."

The ghost shark thought for a moment, seeming to understand what Fang Ark said but not yet fully understanding it.

"Or we can take another approach. I will release your past memories in batches, allowing you to slowly recall your past. Although this treatment cycle will be longer, the impact of restoring your memories on your personality will be much less severe."

When the second option was proposed, Ghost Shark fell into a brief period of thought, with a faint gleam in his empty eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of the two options.

At this time, Kal'tsit raised her wrist and looked at the watch on her wrist, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

It's beyond normal time.

As for Operator Ghost Shark, out of caution, the medical department has measures to monitor this room at all times. Although after a period of treatment, she has been able to remain rational and mentally stable for a long time.

However, this value remains constant for a long period of time. After repeated observations, it is mostly stable at around four hours.

Afterwards, she would fall into a state of deep prayer. If you approached her at this time...

Mon3tr has dealt with this kind of situation many times, and the medical team related to the ghost shark has been replaced several times. Those people are almost tight-lipped about the existence of the ghost shark, especially what the ghost shark looks like when it goes crazy. But at least because of Mon3tr's timely rescue, there have been no deaths so far.

But now, the ghost shark has remained rational for longer than this time. It is now around 12:40 noon, and the ghost shark regained its sanity at 8:32 in the morning in this round, which has exceeded the current longest rational record of eight minutes. The ghost shark in front of him still looks rational and talks to the people present.

Kal'tsit didn't know if the treatment had made progress again during this period or if...

There are other factors.

As her eyes swept over the Ark, Kal'tsit felt relieved. If it was him, it wouldn't surprise her. She had seen enough magical things, so this one wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, they can travel through time and space, so it is not surprising that a patient with schizophrenia and mania can calm down.

However, the rationality of the ghost shark is now much clearer than in the records. In the past, the so-called rationality was at most not to attack people, but its reaction to the outside world was also quite mechanical. Now, the ghost shark can not only communicate more with the outside world, but also respond to other people's problems in a timely manner.

"Then I'll choose the second option."

Ghost Shark looked at the Ark behind him with a smile.

"Ghost Shark..."

Skadi looked at her compatriots and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she swallowed the words she wanted to say back into her stomach.

To be honest, today's communication with Ghost Shark has given her a lot of surprises. After all, even if they met in the past, Ghost Shark would not talk so much. He would only give some simple responses to Skadi's questions or greetings, or even no response at all.

She attributed all of this to Dr. Kel'tsit's treatment of Ghost Shark over the past period of time. After all, such a long period of time should have yielded some results. The current situation was in line with her expectations, and this sudden appearance of Doctor...

Although the conversation between the two in the tower last night gave Skadi a preliminary understanding of this man, and she got news about the second captain and the captain from her, she still had concerns about handing over the only compatriot she had received to someone she had only met twice.

"It's okay, Skadi. I trust this doctor. He was brought here by Dr. Kal'tsit. Dr. Kal'tsit didn't object to his request for treatment. This at least means that no matter what the final result is, my personal safety will not be threatened. In that case, there's no harm in giving it a try."

Ghost Shark's reason made Skadi unable to refute it. It was indeed true. She might not trust Ark, but Kal'tsit would still trust him.

Although Dr. Filin usually doesn't speak human language, he always shows his reliability at critical moments. In Skadi's opinion, he is the same as a blood demon doctor in the hematology department.

Oh, no, remembering that the blood demon doctor had given him two hundred doses of anesthetic, Skadi silently drew a big cross on Warfarin's portrait in her little notebook.

Dr. Kal'tsit is much more reliable than her. Of course, it would be better if this doctor could speak in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"But is restoring memory such a simple matter? Ghost Shark has been on Rhodes Island for quite some time. If memory restoration is possible, why didn't Dr. Kal'tsit do it? Is it medically prohibited?"

Of course, trusting her doesn't mean that Skadi will turn a blind eye to her doubts.

Seeing Fang Ark so effortlessly mention the memory restoration plan, Skadi wondered if it was a bit too easy. If memory restoration was so simple, then why hadn't Dr. Kal'tsit, who, in her eyes, was considered one of the best doctors in this land, gone for it?

"Because restoring memories is indeed not an easy task for modern Terran medicine, but it is not for me. You can regard my method of restoring memories as a special Originium skill. Emmm, since Originium has not been used much in the development history of Agor, so perhaps the term Originium skill is unfamiliar to you?"

Skadi shook her head slightly.

"I know about Originium techniques. They're techniques used by people on land to manipulate reality using the internal energy of Originium, creating objects from thin air or altering the physical and chemical properties of certain substances. Some of these techniques also involve the human spirit."

Is it hard to believe that the person in front of you is really the happy little killer whale that looks silly in the game?

"My intuition tells me that you are thinking of something very rude again. I have been on land for many years, so I naturally understand some common sense.

I've learned about Originium, Originium craftsmanship, and the development of industries related to Originium. Although Agor doesn't have Originium, at least he came to land for a better life. I've learned about some of these things that are common sense to land dwellers."

But, Originium skills involving memory? It sounds really magical.

But since it can help people restore their memories, does that mean that this Originium technique can also delete a certain part of a person's memory?

If you think about it this way, it seems a bit scary.

Our understanding of the world itself comes from repeated attempts, and these attempts are stored in our brains as memories and experience to better understand the world. If these memories can be modified or deleted...

Doesn't that mean that people who possess this kind of Originium skill can manipulate other people's lives at will?

He blinked and threw out of his mind those things that looked and sounded very profound.

Skadi felt that she was not suitable to think about these profound philosophical questions, but she remembered that Ghost Shark and the second captain seemed to be more inclined to dabble in this area. When Ghost Shark recovered his memory and found the second captain, perhaps she could throw this question to them and let them think about it.

What, Captain?

Skadi's captain's words...

The killer whales didn't think the humpbacks would be good at answering that kind of question.

"Actually, Amiya, you can do this too. The power from the Demon King allows you to manipulate people's minds, but you haven't mastered it very well yet. Once you become more familiar with it, you'll be able to solve amnesia cases like Miss Ghost Shark's by yourself."

Hearing this, Amiya subconsciously glanced at the ring on her finger, then looked away.

The Doctor says this every time, as if the power of the devil is something omnipotent.

Last time she said that she was exploring spells, so she asked herself to go to the Demon King to find the big banshee who had served as the Demon King to gain the power of spells.

And this time, he said that he could use the power of the devil to cure some people's amnesia. Obviously, all he can do now is to sense the emotions of the people around him through the devil, and he can't control it very well.

"Shall we try the first treatment now? The time is now twelve forty-one, so we still have plenty of time."

"It would be great if I could experience the treatment the Doctor mentioned right now. After all, I'm quite curious about how the Doctor is going to help me restore my memory."

Ghost Shark said this, then leaned back on the sofa with a comfortable look on his face, while Fang Zhou repeated his old trick, came behind Ghost Shark, stretched out two index fingers of each hand and pointed at the former's temples.

Under the gaze of Skadi, Kal'tsit and others, nothing happened around them. Everything was just the same as before. All they could see was Fang Ark pointing his finger at Ghost Shark's temple, while Ghost Shark sat on the sofa with a calm and peaceful expression, his eyes closed, as if what happened before had nothing to do with them.

Of course, this is just what we see from the outside. What is really happening inside the ghost shark is not that simple.

From the perspectives of Amiya and Kal'tsit, Ghost Shark quickly fell into a peaceful sleep under the Ark's actions.

But from Ark's perspective, a vast sea of ​​memory was surging in the ghost shark's consciousness.

This vast sea of ​​memory is exactly the forgotten memories of the ghost shark.

At this moment, they are gathering in the deepest layer of his sea of ​​consciousness. They seem turbulent on the surface, but they cannot cause the slightest ripples on the ocean of consciousness.

What Ark has to do now is to take a scoop of memory from the sea that wants to surface again, bring it up, and put this part of memory into the personality of the ghost shark that now dominates the body, so that it can retrieve the forgotten past in small amounts and multiple times. This way, it will not cause the sudden awakening of huge memories, and the impact on the personality will be much lighter.

It will also allow the two ghost sharks to integrate better.

Judging from the game text of his world, after returning from the Fool, although Ghost Shark regained his past memories and seemed to have returned to his original self and would not go crazy in battle like before, some operators' eyewitness records still contain statements that Laurentina's behavior logic on the battlefield suddenly became completely different from before.

I don't know if it was because of the leeway of that crazy personality or because Laurentina wanted to find the crazy inspiration that existed in her mind when she lost her memory and deliberately imitated it.

If it is the former, this problem will no longer occur. If it is the latter... I can only say that as long as Shark is happy.

After probing his soul into the surging sea of ​​memories, Fang Zhou searched for memories that would be suitable for the current Ghost Shark to recall. As he thought about this, he watched the final picture of the memory freeze on a picture of the Ghost Shark's childhood.

Perhaps this is just right. After all, everything needs a beginning. Recalling the life of a deep-sea hunter named Laurentina from when she was still a baby is a good starting point.

After selecting the target, Fang Ark moved his fingers and used the magic power of the sheep talisman to condense into tentacles and probe into the surging sea of ​​memory. The vast sea of ​​memory came into Fang Ark's hands along the tentacles of the sheep talisman magic that probed into the sea, and with Fang Ark's guidance, it entered the upper part of the sea of ​​consciousness.

The ghost shark on the sofa frowned slightly.

Amidst a sound like the tide, Ghost Shark felt herself sinking into the depths of darkness. In that darkness, she saw some different scenes.

Led by her parents, the little girl with white hair and red eyes walked into the splendid art gallery. That was the art of Agor...

Agor?

Oh, Skadi told her that was their old country.

Ghost Shark's memories surged, and the moment she recalled Agor, something deeper and darker began to taint her memory.

But there was no pain in her expression. Those were things she had long been accustomed to, from the painful memories she had experienced there.

On one side is Agor's childhood shrouded in the glory of art, and on the other side is surrounded by the Deep Sea Church and injected with Originium concentrate directly into the spine. The beauty and pain are intertwined, making the ghost shark's empty eyes shine.

But that was not the brilliance of reason. The main tone in his eyes was occupied by madness. However, in the next moment when this emotion was about to spread, peaceful Buddhist chants filled the ghost shark's mind.

"...I usually use malice to disturb others, but this experience of being able to remove that malice is quite novel."

The crazy emotions were pulled away by some force, and some of them were reversed and re-entered into consciousness, calming the ghost shark down.

When she opened her eyes again, Ghost Shark's eyes were still empty, but the flash of light in them seemed to prove that she had regained some of her past self.

"So, my name is Laurentina?"

first name.

In that memory, the man and woman who were unfamiliar to me looked at me and called out this name.

Laurentina, is that your name?

"You remembered?!"

Skadi looked at Ghost Shark in disbelief, and the latter poured a bucket of cold water on Skadi's expectant eyes without hesitation.

"I remembered some things, but only some. I remembered my name, my parents, and...Agor's beautiful art."

Although he remembered some things, Ghost Shark's tone was still rather empty when describing them. After all, they were memories from his childhood, and the time difference between them and the present was too long, so they did not play much of a role in mobilizing emotions.

However, this is also Fang Zhou's purpose. Excessively intense emotional mobilization may aggravate the sense of self-fragmentation, unless all emotions are recalled at once, allowing the original self to instantly dominate, which is the first solution proposed at the time.

After the ghost shark woke up, Fang Ark also withdrew his hand.

"That's all. Just take it slow from here on out. I'll let your memories slowly progress from childhood to adulthood, then to becoming a deep-sea hunter, and then to the present, one stage at a time. In this way, after you've collected all your memories, I can guarantee that your split self will be reintegrated to the greatest extent possible."

"Is that so? Thank you very much, Doctor."

The ghost shark looked at the Ark with its rose-red eyes, flashing with some strange colors.

——————————————————————————————————

Chapter 133 Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?!

When she left Ghost Shark's room, her eyes were fixed on Fang Ark, and the expression on her face was very strange, which made Amiya feel a little uncomfortable.

That look was too aggressive.

It's like a predator eying its juicy prey.

However, looking at Skadi, who was in a much better mood and even smiled because of the improved condition of Ghost Shark, and Ark and Kal'tsit, who seemed not to notice Ghost Shark's gaze or seemed to notice it but didn't care, Amiya thought for a moment and decided not to mention it.

"Well, Dr. Kal'tsit, the Doctor, and Amiya, thank you for your dedicated treatment of Ghost Shark. If you need anything from me in the future, please let me know. Of course, if possible, I would prefer solo missions."

Skadi was halfway through her speech when she suddenly remembered that she was still being chased by those ghosts in the sea, so she added that sentence at the end.

She was willing to follow the other party's assignment out of gratitude. If her fault caused the mission entourage to be attacked by those guys and injured or even killed, Skadi would feel very guilty.

After receiving affirmative answers from Ark and Kal'tsit, Skadi separated from them here.

After all, Skadi was a social black hole. She preferred to stay in her room alone or curl up in Rhodes Island's bathtub, which was a bit small but better than nothing, to stare blankly or fall asleep.

The remaining three people were also preparing to go up, after all, there were still many things to do.

Ark's job was the easiest. Thanks to Ark's powerful computing power, he had completed all of his work at Rhodes Island in less than a minute. By the way, he also finished all of Amiya's work.
