Crow's Paradise

Yao Yan's words, descriptions, and actions all touched the scorpion man Danian.

She certainly knows the history.

The development of art is of course inseparable from history.

In art, the roughest classification is "art for art's sake" and "art for life's sake".

Early art was for life, and most of it was practical. These details in life had a purpose. After losing this purpose, when these details were not displayed for this purpose, it became suspended art.

If people who study art do not study art history, then there will be some deviations in their knowledge reserves and the formation of artistic thinking——

We don’t understand the reasons for its creation, and we don’t understand its structural basis. We show it for the sake of showing it, and we express it for the sake of expression.

In this era, there are very few people who create art for simple purposes such as practicality.

In today's era, most creators create for the sake of creation and express for the sake of expression.

Naturally, they all have a purpose, and they all express and create art because they want to express something.

Of course Danian knew this, so she was aware of the problem when the other party described the "writer".

"The person who wrote the pen" originally thought in her consciousness that it had little to do with herself, but was someone that only those technology developers needed to pay attention to. At this moment, it had some connection with herself.

At this time, she heard the other party's voice again:

"The Age of Paradise, the Age of Darkness, the Age of Sacredness, the Age of Ghosts, the Age of Resurrection."

"The era when consciousness transfer technology began to be applied on a small scale was the ghost era. Only a few people could transfer between different bodies like ghosts."

"However, it can be traced back to the time when countless humanoid and non-human races were born. In that era, there was a creature called a 'ghoul'."

Yao Yan fully used his imagination on the element of "eating corpses" and combined it with the "ghoul" race that has disappeared in history, or it is unknown whether it really existed:

"Originally, the race of 'ghouls' could obtain memories by eating the corpses of humans or other races."

As he spoke, he turned to the corpse again, stretched out his hand to touch the harpy's head, and guided the other person's line of sight:

"According to what I know, ghouls can gain memories by eating brains."

"But, at this time, something happened -"

He turned his attention back to the scorpion man Danian:

"Some people who died were 'resurrected'."

"resurrection?"

The fixed, immobile pure black eyes on the head of Scorpion Man Danian looked straight at Yao Yan.

Looking at the claws placed on the head of the corpse, she seemed to understand what the other party meant.

"The dead are resurrected in the body of the 'ghoul'."

Yao's tone was calm, but his words made Danian the Scorpion unable to calm down.

In this regard, Yao Yan naturally had no apology at all. Regarding the stories he arbitrarily added and fabricated based on fragmentary historical fragments, he did not stop continuing to spread rumors, but stared at the Scorpion Man.

Needless to say, when it comes to this, no matter how stupid, naive, or without thinking too much, you will unconsciously apply the same experience to yourself.

Are you a "ghoul"?

Danian, the scorpion man, unconsciously raised his pair of large pliers, and his eight eyes cast their sights on the pliers.

Yao Yan also continued to make up stories and create a network of rumors that could justify himself:

"The predecessor of the 'Church of Bones', a group of humanoid races who often come into contact with corpses, discovered the existence of 'ghouls', and discovered that after they devoured the corpses of other people, they would have a probability of being occupied by the memory of the deceased, and regarded themselves as The condition of the deceased."

“The original Church of Bones recorded all of this and informed future generations or those close to them through written or oral means.”

Yao Yan learned about the reasons for these things and quietly patched them up. However, he also knew that this kind of thing should not be taken too seriously and he needed to divert his attention immediately with other topics.

As for how to divert attention, Yao Yan also had an idea:

"However, in the age of ghosts, things about ghouls have become a thing of the past."

"More and more races are able to carry out 'consciousness transfer', and there is no need to transfer consciousness by eating corpses. The destruction of family and parent-child relationships will cause the natural trust relationship of family ties to disappear. About ghouls , and almost disappeared.”

"And in the Holy Age, with the establishment of the Holy Church, the era came when all churches were forcibly dismantled. The technology of consciousness transfer was completely controlled by the Holy Church. The matter of ghouls was even labeled as heresy and blasphemy. It’s slander and malicious slander.”

Positioning yourself as the victim first is a panacea for defense.

Even the biggest and most effective counterweight to rumors—evidence—can be dealt with.

No evidence?

Because evidence was destroyed, because of suppression.

In the classification of "rumor", the structure of "conspiracy theory" allows it to resist the natural flaw of rumors requiring evidence.

Sounds reasonable, right?

Yao Yan glanced at the scorpion man Danian with an unchanging expression, and when he saw the other person's silent and absent-minded state, he was about to stop his narration.

After saying the last paragraph.

"Just think of this as a story. Ghouls are just ancient legends. No one can prove whether they really existed. Even if they do exist, they have no meaning."

"We are not the ones who write the rules. We can only abide by the rules, but we cannot dictate them."

Yao Yan used the last two techniques.

Self-denying desensitization and a sense of threat.

There is a general category of rumors called caring rumors.

Taking advantage of human beings' instinct of self-protection and preferring to trust their actions and not trust their reactions will allow them to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages on their own.

Under the standard and fuzzy judgment mechanism, once it happens or encounters a suspicious situation, they will attach it to it.

Moreover, because of the social nature of human beings, they will describe and spread such threats to those close to them, and spread these rumors of safety risks in the form of caring reminders.

It is hoped that this Scorpion man can become a sufficiently qualified source of rumor contagion, allowing people from all walks of life to find for him "a 'writer' who can lead the rules."

Afterwards, he did not continue these topics, but continued to talk about the school. Even if the scorpion lady mentioned ghouls, Yao Yan also used some obvious ways to avoid and change the topic, causing the other person’s attention.

"He's hiding something, he's avoiding something."

Curiosity is the best bait.
