Chapter 252 Ignorance is not in danger

[Let’s talk about the named person first. Do you know why the named person is called the named person? ]

"Because the name of the person who signs it has special magical powers." Xia Shou stated the common sense that Alice had mentioned.

[Yes, the term "named person" is very easy to understand. It refers to a person with a name, while most ordinary people do not have a name. What we are called a name is actually just a wishful self-identification, just like your name is Xia Shou, I can also be called Xia Shou, and everyone else can be called Xia Shou.

The name of the nameholder not only contains these functions for distinction and self-identification, it itself has the ability to connect things. This is why many vampires and demons in horror stories are afraid of revealing their real names.

The names are connected with curses and power. Their names are given by God with the effect that "whoever can pronounce their names can punish them", so demons and vampires dare not reveal their real names. If demons reveal their real names, they will be cast into hell, and vampires will become slaves of those who recite their names.

On the contrary, positive applications can also be seen everywhere, such as the holy names of Taoism, Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun, Fu Sheng Wuliang Tian Zun, and Jesus of Christianity. These names once possessed powerful power. Only by reciting them, devout believers would obtain the power bestowed by the named person.

Regardless of distance, time or space, as long as the name is recited, the person who named it will be able to hear someone calling his or her name.

Likewise, those followers are equivalent to servants of the Named One, carrying out his will and plundering his desires.

But now I am not talking about the named person, but something similar to the named person.

Some beings can know where you are just by calling out your name, while others can find you through a piece of information.

For example, the Moonlight Retrievers of the waning moon will retrieve leaked secrets for their owners. They can smell whose memory or mind holds the secret that the owner wants to keep secret, and then ignore all obstacles, come to that person through the moonlight and deprive the memory from the other person's head.

In this world, knowing more is not necessarily better, and ignorance is often not an obstacle to survival. The purpose of human development of materialism and scientism is to curb the infinitely expanding curiosity that humans are born with, and to compress human's desire for knowledge and exploration into a limited set of rules.

Why do you think ordinary people turn a blind eye to abnormalities? For individuals, it may be an obstacle, but looking at this trait at the level of the race, it is probably the greatest and most powerful ability in all human evolution.

So, I advise you to curb your curiosity.

Of course, the decision is yours, whether or not to continue investigating is also up to you. I am just a notebook, and I can only choose to answer or not. 】

Looking at this attitude, I don't want to say anything about taking notes.

"Isn't this the first time I've been summoned to this world? Have I been here before?"

[How is that possible? You have a very rich imagination.]

"One of the previous notebook holders has the same name as me. This can't be a coincidence."

[I don't know about this. I don't know much. The reason why I advise you not to dig into it is because your current mentality is very similar to mine back then. And you have seen what happened to me. I have now become a notebook.

You also know the characteristics of the Death Note. It will collect the soul of the deceased holder, and the abnormality level of the deceased holder must be higher than the level of the soul in the note before it will be collected.

Do you know how high my abnormal level is? The pocket watch, the notebook, and the House of Merlin were once my strengths, and my trump cards are far more than that, but now I am in this notebook, and the reason for all this is just my curiosity.

I have encountered many abnormal events, many of which are enough to overturn some of the rules of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am one of the founders of the current stable life, but this does not mean that I am so great, because there are many people like me. The natural disasters that destroy the world do not happen by chance, but happen frequently, and there may be hundreds of them in a day. It's just that they are all blocked by people like me, so the world is stable. In a hundred years, there may be one event that cannot be stopped in time and is recognized by the lowest mortals, so the person who solves this matter at the last minute becomes a great man who creates the world.

There is nothing great about saving the world. The world itself is a glass ball that is constantly tossed around by circus clowns. If it falls to the ground accidentally, it will be game over, and the history of destruction will be included in the seven-branched history tree.

Once you climb high enough in the tree, you'll realize that world destruction is the norm, just like when you keep restarting a single-player game.

As for me, I can be considered a strong person, at least stronger than anyone you can come into contact with now.

People like me also became notes out of trivial curiosity. Now think about yourself, do you still want to know those secrets?

If I tell you a secret, something you can't understand will find me, and then you will be in trouble.

Some anti-memes cannot be spread, while others destroy those who know about it, so I won’t tell you.

Take one step at a time, don't think too much, don't delve into the doubts in your mind, the more stupid you are, the longer you will live. 】

Xia Shou was silent. The notebook had said so much, but it also said nothing.

But he did know of one antimeme that destroyed those in the know, and the Heavenly Choir was one such anomaly.

But is it really necessary to suppress one's curiosity, ignore things that are obviously very suspicious, and live in confusion?
As if noticing Xia Shou's dilemma, a line of scribbled words appeared in the notebook again.

[Since you are so curious and don't believe me, I can give you a test to let you experience the harm of knowing taboos. This method allows you to read something that has happened in the past. The price is the lightest of all the secrets, which is that from now on you will no longer be able to eat ordinary food, and you can only eat abnormal bodies to fill your stomach.

How to transform abnormal bodies into food ingredients, how to obtain abnormal bodies at a high frequency, and how to avoid being discovered this secret.

And whether you can tolerate all ordinary food becoming tasteless, when you are really ready, then I will tell you something. 】

Xia Shou didn't say anything.

He had to admit that he was scared off. Although the words in the notes could not be fully trusted, perhaps they were half true and half false, or perhaps they were completely made up, but they could indeed be true.

The note did not intend to give up, and continued:

[Besides, even if I don't say anything, someone will come to you soon.

Some people have already noticed you. I guess it's probably because of your high frequency of using Self-Destruction. They know you better than you do.

The same thing is much safer when spoken from their mouths than when written on this piece of paper. 】
