Chapter 37 Memory (2)
“… … erased?”
Queenie spread the fan.
It was a posture for boundaries. At first glance, this man is not friendly. Most of all, the memory was ‘erased’. As if this man had intentionally erased his memories.
Regardless of whether Queenie herself has really erased her memory, if she tries to erase someone’s memory, what else is wrong with her intentions?
“What do you mean? There is no problem at all in my memory.”
“Ahahaha. That’s the weird thing about humans. It’s geared toward thinking there’s no problem, rather than solving it. If you were in the past, you would definitely know. There is a serious contradiction in your appearance now.”
“… … Is it me from the past?”
When Quinier asked, the man nodded.
Queenie couldn’t tell what kind of face was behind that mask.
“okay. You were 13 years ago.”
The voice was clearly lowered.
Queenie felt a slight chill and shut her mouth for a moment. The lips that opened again trembled slightly.
“… … then.”
“okay. The day your ‘corpse horror’ began.”
This man knows Quunier’s past and weaknesses. In other words, it is highly probable that this man also wrote Constell’s magic script.
But now, more than that, the man’s words could no longer be wasted.
“I mean, it’s weird. How do you carry those wild beasts with you, who became terrified by the ‘event’ of that day?”
“… … wild beast? I hope you.”
“okay. Cora.”
Cora, why Cora? Why is the child’s name appearing now?
What did Korra have to do with the events of that day?
“I mean, it’s weird. Queenie.”
said the man.
“You saw him commit a genocide right before your eyes. At the age of six.”
“… … !”
“When you saw the people around you being torn and killed equally, seeing the corpses scattered all over the floor, and seeing the funny thing with the upper body here and the lower body over there, did you get scared of the corpse?”
“… … don’t bullshit I got my phobia because of the wolf that attacked the mansion.”
The man laughed at Quinier’s objection.
“okay. That’s how I remembered it.”
It’s like that. or what
Cora kills people? genocide?
That, that kind of bullshit, I
Tatata that-!
Then I heard footsteps running towards Quunier’s room.
The sound of footsteps too frequent for a person to run. This.
“Oh, perfect timing.”
The man spoke, and Quinnier turned around and shouted.
“Do not come! Cora!”
Bump!
The door opened, and Queenie looked at the window again. Obviously, I thought the masked guy was aiming for Korra.
But the guy wasn’t there.
“uh?”
The man must have escaped, and no one could be seen outside the window.
“Are you okay with Queenie? Who came?”
Cora came over and asked.
Quunier nodded, and Cora wrinkled her nose as she looked around.
“There was an unfamiliar smell near Quunier’s room. It smells bad. I created more stench to cover up the stench. It is difficult to take in at first, but after you notice it, it smells very disgusting.”
Cora stuck her head out the window and looked around. But even with his extraordinary eyes, he couldn’t seem to find the man.
Quinn looked at him silently.
‘Kora committed the massacre?’
Did I have a phobia because of it?
I can not believe it. Of course it’s a lie.
… … However, the memory of that event is clearly vague. It was clearly depicted in his head as being attacked by a wolf.
The image is a white-haired, four-legged beast, with red eyes… … .
“Queenie?”
“… … !”
Queenie opened her eyes in surprise at Cora’s voice. Cora looked at her worriedly.
“Queenie, where are you hurt?”
“Oh, no. it’s okay.”
Quinier looked at Cora.
13 years ago. memory is dim Was it faint, or was it really erased as the man said.
… … It’s not Cora. I can’t.
Quinn’s head was pounding.
* * *
“Hmm. You don’t even remember me.”
The masked man stood on the tip of a tall tree branch. Balance with one foot on a pointed branch. It looks like it’s comfortable.
“I erased Quinnier’s memories of me, but in the process, it seems that the memory of the incident has also changed. Interesting.”
The man murmured as if studying.
Today, I came to reconfirm that Quinier remembers who he was at the time of the incident 13 years ago. Even though the memory was erased, from the point of view of Quunier, it was a shock so strong that it may not have been erased.
However, I discovered an unexpectedly interesting fact.
After taking out his own memories that exist in the incident, Quunier’s memories were readjusted, perhaps to hide the contradiction in the void.
“Of course, it was surprising that even Cora was deleted from that memory.”

No wonder. I thought it would be weird to have Cora by my side. If you do, your plans will be disrupted.“You have to get rid of Korra first.”
It’s not that difficult.
We just have to repeat 13 years ago.
“It’s time, Queenie. It’s time to step down from your position.”
The man was waiting for this period.
This is the time when Quinnier revives the family again and stabilizes the relationship with the neighboring families.
“The life of oblivion is exhausting.”
Mumbling, the man jumped from the tip of the branch to the branch just below it.

Now, if we get rid of Cora and everything goes according to plan.The Viet family becomes his.
“yes?”
Suddenly feeling his gaze, the man looked to the left.
cack-
There was a crow.
The crow looked at him and tilted his head to the left and right, then flew away.
After looking at it for a while, the man smiled brightly at the Viet family mansion again.
“Then, see you at Constell. Queenie.”
* * *
[He was a bad guy.]
“Yes.”
I heard about Quunier’s situation from the crow sitting by the window.
While teaching Selena an ancient language, an idea struck and hurriedly assigned Gregory the job.
The harvest could be enough.
“… … Remember.”
It seems that I can erase the memories of the few others. I’m not sure exactly what conditions are required.
‘It seems that the speculation is correct.’
I don’t know the character ‘Kora’. Despite being such a rare beast, I’ve never seen or heard of it.
But if that’s already the existence of ‘Kora’ has been erased from within the game.
Since it disappeared from everyone’s memory, if it wasn’t even mentioned in the game from the beginning.
‘The main character, Aster, has a proper contact with Quunier after graduation.’
In other words, if Korra is forgotten by everyone before then, of course, the player will not get any information about Korra.
So no one knows about Korra’s existence. even the players.
[He seems to be trying to kill Cora.]
“I know. It seems that it is possible to just erase an individual’s memory, but it seems that the condition of killing is necessary in order to erase that existence from everyone’s memory.”
The crow shook his head at my words. My eyes couldn’t tell if it was Gregory doing it or the crow’s reflex.
[Erasing a memory is a tremendous ability, but you want to erase that person’s existence from everyone’s memory? No matter how ‘murder’ is attached, is that possible?]
That’s it.
I sympathized so deeply with Gregory’s words that I pressed myself into the chair.
And muttered like a sigh.
“So God.”
[god… … . Does that mean he has powers?]
I nodded.
Even if it causes the loss of individual memories, does it remove existence from everyone’s memory?
There is only one thing that I know of that is possible.
“Goddess of oblivion, Lethe. Maybe it’s her divine power.”
[Lethe… … . Is that Lethe from ‘River of Lethe’?]
“okay. It is said that if a person drinks the river of Lethe before reincarnation, he will forget all the memories of his previous life.”
It’s only in the game, that is, in this world.
When a dead person drinks the river of Lethe, it means that he will be forgotten not only in himself but also in the memory of everyone else.
The so-called ‘second death’. It means that the dead disappear from the memory of the living.
So even a dead soul needs more than a hundred years to reincarnate. Drinking the river of Lethe, so that the gap between people living in the present life does not widen even if it is forgotten from everyone’s memory.
[Then that masked man kills people.]
“okay. You use your divine powers to make them drink from the river of Lethe.”
[It is a terrifying divine power.]
“Still, there are weaknesses. It’s a limitation rather than a weakness.”
[what?]
“The river of Lethe does not work for humans who are too famous.”
[famous… … ? Ah, right.]
An achievement to the extent of being passed down as a folklore, an achievement to the extent of being recorded in the literature, and a heroic narrative that marks a mark in history.
They do not disappear from people’s memory no matter how long time passes. It becomes more beautified and sacred, and its existence becomes stronger.
When people forget their memories, the records and evidence of history do not disappear. Rather, only splendid and exaggerated records remain, making the hero stronger.
“That’s why the heroes can’t even be reincarnated. Have you ever heard of things like ascending to the throne of God or becoming a constellation?”
[right. You mean ‘Zodiac’?]
The 12 human weapons designated by the Terst Empire, the Zodiac.
Right now, they are simply referring to the 12 most powerful people in the Empire, but their name originally meant that they were destined to rise to the constellation after death. Because they have some achievements.
“But now, neither me nor Queenie nor Cora have any achievements.”
[You can’t stop it at all.]
Yes.
If the masked man is aiming for Cora, it will be dangerous not only to Cora but also to Queenie. When Cora dies, it will be forgotten from our memories, so Quunier will be the next target without realizing anything unusual.
‘But Queenie definitely exists as a character.’
If a man killed Quinnier like Cora, of course, it is normal that I should not have known both characters. Both should have been deleted from the game.
In other words, in the original world, men succeeded in killing Cora, but Queenie failed.
… … if not.
‘He didn’t intend to kill Queenie in the first place?’
[So what are you going to do with him? He was wearing a mask, but he remembered his size. It will appear where it will appear, but if you know it, you can estimate it from the public eye.]
“It’s obvious where it will appear. It’s Constell.”
In all probability, he is a student of Constell. Or pretending to be a student.
He must have used Cora’s babblings to target Queenie and spread rumors, so she must have approached Queenie like a normal person.
[Then we can ask Quinier tomorrow. He must be close to her.]
“You said He can erase his memories. Even after talking to Queenie, she may not remember herself.”
[You’re an annoying guy.]
I thought for a moment.
The guy is definitely a nuisance. If you take a wrong step, you can forget the memory of the guy and go back to the beginning.
Having made up my mind, I picked up the sage phone.
First of all, let’s set up some insurance.
I texted Queenie.
[senior. Please bring your glasses. I can always check the time.]
