Before The College Entrance Examination, 20 Years Later, I Sent A Text Message

The Internet is indeed a good thing.

Almost everything you want to know can be found on the Internet.

Chen Yu found several mnemonics when he searched online.

And one of the memory methods called "Memory Palace" attracted his attention.

Through relevant information on the Internet, he gradually understood that the core of this "memory palace" is to convert words or numbers into corresponding images to deepen people's memory impressions.

According to the elaboration of this memory method, the human brain will have a deeper impression of various images, and the memory of words and numbers will be much worse.

Moreover, this "memory palace" also has a very effective trick.

——That is to convert the words or numbers that need to be remembered into corresponding horror images. The principle of this trick is that images with horror elements can greatly stimulate the human brain, and then leave a deep impression on the brain. The impression, once remembered, will last forever.

but……

The information on the Internet also mentioned that this trick of the memory palace is a big challenge to the user's psychological endurance.

Because images with horror elements will also stimulate the viewer's psychology a lot. For the timid, the more horror pictures you remember in your brain, the greater the psychological pressure will be, which may lead to frequent nightmares at night. , and even serious sequelae such as long-term insomnia, neurasthenia, and even mental confusion.

The information warns learners to use this trick with caution.

However, when Chen Yu saw this unique trick of the memory palace memory method, he was moved.

He has always considered himself to be very courageous and not afraid of pictures with horror elements.

Without much hesitation, he began to try this mnemonic method to memorize the answers to the upcoming reexamination questions.

First, he searched the Internet for a large number of pictures with horror elements, and from these pictures, looked for those pictures that frightened him the most.

For example: a picture of a zombie with half its head missing.

For example: pictures of demons eating people.

For example: the picture of the prisoner Ling Chi.

and many more.

When he found enough scary pictures, he began to convert the English letters in the English test paper answers - A, B, C, D, etc., into numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.

Use the number 1 to correspond to A; 2 to B; 3 to C; 4 to D.

He converted a string of English letters in the answer into a long string of numbers.

After that, the initial establishment of the memory palace began.

He squinted at a terrifying zombie picture with only half a head on the computer, and glanced at the first number "3" in the string of numbers he had just converted.

Squinting at the zombie pictures, he began to try to imagine a grand and simple palace in his mind.

He walked into the palace step by step and pushed open one of the doors in the palace. After the door was opened, he immediately began to imagine that in the room behind the door, there were three half-headed zombies who heard the sound and looked at him.

In order to deepen his impression, he tried to imagine every detail of the three zombies.

The zombie on the left is bald, probably caused by the use of Bawang shampoo.

The female zombie in the middle has a big belly. Which crazy guy doesn't let go of zombies?

The zombie on the right is a gray-haired old man with almost all of his teeth falling out, but he is holding a large sugar cane in his right hand. Can he eat it?

...

In order to deepen the impression and remember it firmly, Chen Yu can be said to use his imagination to the best of his ability, regardless of whether the details he imagined are logical or not.

Not to mention, the more outrageous the picture he imagined, the deeper the impression.

After confirming that the image of the three zombies in his mind was very clear, he began to glance at another number "2" in the answer.

Glancing at this number, he began to imagine that there were not only three terrifying zombies in that room, but also two corpses with very miserable deaths on the ground.

In order to deepen his impression and remember it deeply, he imagined the two corpses, one as a kid with green faces and fangs, and the other as a zombie in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty.

He kept imagining every detail of the two corpses, until the appearance of the two corpses was very clear in his mind, and he began to transform the third number in the answer into a terrifying image. ...

Time passed little by little.

Chen Yu didn't realize it, as he imagined more and more terrifying characters and ghosts in his mind, there was an obvious fear in his eyes.

His face was already pale.

On his forehead, he also unknowingly, there was a layer of fine sweat.

The pressure he was under was getting bigger and bigger, and he felt that there were already a group of clearly identifiable ghosts in his mind.

But he persisted.

Because although he was getting more and more fearful in his heart, he felt more and more that this memory method was really useful, but as time passed, he did not forget the content he had just memorized.

Incredibly clear.

It's like when you read a document report and forget it all in a blink of an eye.

But after watching a horror movie that almost scared you to pee, chances are you're dreaming at night with every detail of the movie clearly in your mind.

only……

It's useful, but it's really scary.

...

It was past ten o'clock that night.

Chen Yu finally ended this self-hypnotic memory.

All day, apart from going to eat and go to the toilet, he spent the rest of the time in his bedroom, using the memory palace trick to memorize the answers to those exam questions.

Results?

Brilliant!

Turning off the computer, turning off the mobile phone, he closed his eyes, and the answers to the English test questions sent to him by his future self emerged clearly in his mind with terrifying images one by one.

At this moment, the two palace rooms he imagined were very clear in his mind.

Including the pattern on the door of each room is very clear.

These are all imaginary by himself.

A group of ghosts and monsters in one of the rooms represent the answers to the English test questions.

The ghost in the other room represents the answer to the math test.

He felt that it would be hard for him to forget it for the rest of his life.

This made him, who had just finished his memory, regret that he had not learned this memory method a few years earlier.

Otherwise, his academic performance may not have been so hip.

but……

Time can't go back, regret is useless, everything should look forward!

I am only 17 years old now, and there is still a lot of time for me to work hard in the future.

It's just that in tomorrow's re-examination, he still lacks the comprehensive examination papers and answers for Chinese and liberal arts. Therefore, if he wants to pass this re-examination, the ruthless move that should be released will start immediately.

No more delay!

Having made up his mind, he got up and came out of the house by himself, and began to run along the road in the village, running faster and faster until he was covered in sweat and soreness, and then he came home panting and staggering.

After returning home, he didn't take a bath or wipe off the sweat on his body, but went straight to his bedroom, turned on the air conditioner in the bedroom, and turned the temperature of the air conditioner to the lowest.

Then he left the bedroom again, went to the kitchen to get a plastic basin, scraped a layer of frost from his own refrigerator, put it in the basin, and brought it back to his bedroom.

He came to the air-conditioning vent where the cold wind was blowing down and wiped his body over and over again.
