Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 608 Highly Condensed Information

Xia Shou lay on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and then a shadow fell over his head.

Xia Shou tilted his neck and saw Shangguan Yan, wearing a windbreaker, standing in front of him, bending down to observe him.

I'm back?

Xia Shou turned over on the grass and saw the library. He had just been lying under a landscape tree outside the library.

"Are we going to the woods?" Shangguan Yan squatted down and asked.

In the distance, other people also ran over.

The analysts in white clothes asked questions one after another, describing various phenomena for Xia Shou to choose from.

"What do you see? A red earthworm or a big dog like a watermelon worm?"

"How many fingers do I have now? Also, what's your name?"

"Stick out your finger and take a blood sample."

Shangguan Yan took the blood collection device from the analyst, took Xia Shou's hand, completed the blood collection in one go, and then answered a few questions for Xia Shou.

"He encountered [Moonlit Woodland], and I will be responsible for him from now on." Shangguan Yan said.

When the people in white coats heard the name, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts and ran to other places.

"Get up."

Xia Shou stood up on the grass, holding on to the tree trunk. Only then did he see clearly what was happening around him.

More than half of the library had collapsed and turned into ruins. A little ahead of Xia Shou was a huge pit with a radius of several dozen meters.

Standing at the edge of the cave and looking down, you can see several underground floors. There are broken and bent steel bars in the concrete of each floor, and the edges of the damaged buildings are covered with signs of explosion corrosion.

If you look closely, you can still see some broken human tissue, but the large pieces of broken limbs and arms have all been cleaned up.

"Many anomalies were out of control, but except for a few that were not re-contained, all others have been stabilized.

But it's not just the anomalies that are out of control, there are also phenomena.

Moonlit Woodland is one of them, but there is no detailed record of this anomaly, and it is only passed down verbally by those who have experienced it.

You must not report anything you encountered during this anomaly to anyone, just keep it to yourself.

Although we can't discuss the specifics, it may be helpful to talk about other things. After all, I have been to that woodland."

Xia Shou glanced at the other person.

So, the minister also eavesdropped on God's conversation?

Shangguan Yan said: “Generally, people who have never studied history will have some interesting ideas when they study it, such as why the more distant the era, the vaguer the historical records are, the simpler they tend to be, and some are even very fantastic.

Even secular history is like this. Many historical records during the Yellow Emperor period are myths, the stories are very simple, and the number of character names is very small.

In later dynasties, the content tended to be more detailed, and works such as "Records of the Grand Historian" also provided more nuanced descriptions of the experiences of historical figures, such as the Hongmen Banquet and the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

These stories are extremely detailed, with more twists and details than the myths from the time of Emperor Huangdi, and in modern times, historical records are even more detailed.

Some people think that the more distant the time is, the fewer documents are left, but this is actually only a small reason. The more important reason is that the amount of information humans can accept is limited. How long does it take to finish reading the "Zizhi Tongjian", a set of history books? And how long is the history recorded in this set of books? "

Hearing this, Xia Shou understood what Shangguan Yan wanted to express. The value of a text is to be read by people. To describe a period of history, one can spend a lot of ink and paper, but if one wants to describe the entire long history, then no one can browse all of it in detail.

"Extraordinary knowledge, the amount of information far exceeds all existing knowledge in the secular world. The Control Bureau once studied a ritual related to time, and this ritual was described in only a few sentences in that book.

Timing, astrology, shooting down the Silver Weeping Moon, and offerings, along with three other rituals.

The method sounds simple, right? But among the three rituals, the one that has been studied by the Control Bureau and written in a language that ordinary people can understand has 300,000 words of operations.

While the star sign encompasses another stargazing technique, the Silver Weeping Moon involves a cyclical history.

Adding in the sacrifices and all the learning costs, a person would need to study independently for two hundred years to understand the operating procedures of this ceremony.

But the existence of knowledge is not just to be understood. The more important role of language itself is to convey. If a teacher needs thirty years to fully explain a theory, then this theory will be extremely easy to be discontinued.

Therefore, there are all kinds of words with condensed imagery. In extraordinary learning, there are all kinds of confusing words that are completely incomprehensible.

If you want to convey a huge amount of information in a very short time, then what you want to convey cannot be the information itself, but only the clues to find the information, like a treasure map. "

Xia Shou's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand what Shangguan Yan meant.

So...what the gods said was actually very important information, but because time was limited, all the words they said had been processed in various ways and were highly condensed.

Indeed, if the animals explained in detail all the strange terms in the conversation, the conversation would probably not be able to continue.

Shangguan Yan continued, "Many people have been to that woodland, and many of them have created many miraculous careers, but everyone only mentions that woodland and will not talk about it in more depth."

"Then..." Xia Shou wanted to ask more questions, but he was not sure about the scale of the question.

Shangguan Yan saw Xia Shou's concerns and said with a smile, "Start with the simple things. The simpler the things are, the greater the impact will be on the present."

As an eyewitness, Shangguan Yan understood very well how great an impact the conversation he heard in the woods could have on the lives of the people involved.

If she had not entered the forest that year, she would not have been able to find a way to stop her ascension, nor would she have been able to retain her humanity and stay in the world.

Xia Shou frowned, almost not caring about anything in the outside world. He kept recalling the first few words he heard, which were the easiest to understand.

The most critical names have already appeared.

The red horse specifically mentions Bai Ge, emphasizing that Bai Ge could not refuse his sister's request and could not kill the painter's painting.

Painter's paintings...

Kill the painter's painting?
The Golden Retriever said that the painter was closer to the magic poem, and the Red Horse even compared the writer and the painter.

If I remember correctly, Edward said that the [Writer] was the quasi-ascender selected by Book Eater and one of the main participants in this turmoil.

And the Duke's daughter mentioned by the mandrill, is she Su Yue?

Xia Shou also heard about the second birth mentioned together with the Duke's daughter from Edson. It was related to the umbilical cord and the fake blood god, and also to the present Yi Lei.

It is obvious that Yi Lei's target is Su Yue, so the Duke's daughter mentioned by the mandrill should be Su Yue.

So, what are they talking about?
