459: Chapter 457: mory Erasure 459: Chapter 457: mory Erasure Hua Shan City, Nanshan district, Coal Machine Factory Road, Building Number 24.
This is the southern urban area of Hua Shan City.
At this ti, all the major events of the Hua Shan City incident are unrelated to this place, so it appears relatively peaceful.
But the chaos caused by the parasitic millipede monstrosities still impacted the lives of the people here.
Wen Wen stood downstairs, clutching a thick envelope, straightened his black suit, and after a sigh, entered the building.
The prison guard’s wife and son were both dead, so the only person Wen Wen could compensate was their parents.
Wen Wen had checked the records; their parents were both in their sixties.
The old couple lived here, not wealthy, but not too strained either.
It was easy to leave the money behind, but the difficulty was how to tell the old couple the fact that their daughter-in-law and grandson were also dead.
Wen Wen knocked on the door, and after a long while, it remained unopened.
Though separated by a door, Wen Wen could not be deceived by what was happening inside.
The old couple were debating whether to open it or not.
Even though Wen Wen had given them a heads-up, they still suspected he might be a murderer.
This was a natural reaction.
In such a scenario, an insurance company’s employee coming to the door to deliver money did indeed seem odd.
However, using the Guile Tree Spirit’s abilities, Wen Wen easily persuaded them with a few words, convincing them of his identity and entered the elderly couple’s ho.
The furnishings in the ho were sowhat outdated, and in a prominent place sat a photo of the prison guard’s family of three.
When Wen Wen entered, the couple’s faces showed sadness, but they were still relatively composed because, for them, their son’s death had already happened several months ago.
Once Wen Wen had handed the money over to the old couple following insurance company procedures, he solemnly said, “The reason the insurance paynt has co to you both is that three days ago, your daughter-in-law and grandson, amidst this turmoil, sadly perished.”
After he finished saying this, the old woman fainted on the spot, and the old man’s face turned deathly pale.
Wen Wen infused each of them with a bit of energy, and the situation eased.
Facing the grieving old couple, Wen Wen found ti slightly hard to endure.
When he stepped out of the door, his depression was hard to dispel.
For the elderly couple, this was the worst day of their lives, and they were definitely not the only ones grieving due to supernatural powers.
Even Wen Wen himself was actually a victim of supernatural powers.
This suddenly made him feel a hint of disgust towards his own abilities and this twisted world.
Noticing this sentint, Wen Wen suddenly smiled ruefully, “I…
really have changed, huh?”
If it had been the old him, at most, at most, he might have just transferred so money to these two old people, but he definitely would not have personally gone to witness their desperate crying like today.
Nor would he have felt sorrow because of the old couple’s tears, and might even have felt like laughing.
Ever since he was chosen by the Sanctuary to beco a Containnt Officer, Wen Wen had truly changed a lot.
His physique and abilities were becoming less and less human, but his heart was gradually drawing closer to that of a normal person.
“The old would have never had these kinds of feelings…
but this sensation isn’t bad.”
Not having to cover up his true emotions with coldness and craziness made Wen Wen feel quite at ease…
…
Two days had passed, and within this ti, the Hunters Association conducted a carpet search throughout Hua Shan City.
Yes…
truly carpet-style.
Any carpet that looked a bit thicker had to be lifted and checked.
Any supernatural creature showing hostility was imdiately eradicated.
Even though new monsters continued to erge, they could not withstand the thunderous operations of the Hunters Association.
All the hidden centipede monsters were either made into specins or burnt to ashes, not one survived.
To prevent the appearance of a second centipede progenitor, the Hunters Association utilized special asures to completely eradicate the existence of these creatures.
Hua Shan City was now truly ‘clean’.
The next step would be to fabricate false mories for all the citizens, a process that would be tedious and drawn out.
If the ones needing mory erasure were only one or two people, or even several thousand, it would be rather manageable.
But altering the mories of hundreds of thousands of people in an entire city with mory Erasers beca a colossal task.
Any slight carelessness could lead to complications.
mory modification wasn’t as simple as turning soone amnesiac.
The broader the scope of the mories involved, the more operations needed, and the greater the likelihood of making mistakes.
Many people have experienced discrepancies between mory and reality, such as funeral ceremonies for historical figures who had already died being held again, or familiar statues in textbooks changing their poses, and so on…
The more widespread the mory discrepancies, the more likely it is that mory rebound will occur, causing so individuals to silently recover their mories and beco immune to further influence.
A significant number of Supporters ended up recruited by the Association precisely because their mories could no longer be modified.
Unable to live in the normal world, they had no choice but to join the Association.
However, the course of action that Wen Wen had anticipated did not unfold; instead, a new situation arose.
All the Rangers, Demon Hunters, Supporters, and the Federal Army who assisted in maintaining the situation were all reassigned away from Hua Shan City.
The True Order Ranger, along with Wen Wen and a dozen other Rangers, stood on a small hillside outside of Hua Shan City, overlooking the entire area.
Among the Rangers present, so looked understanding, while others, like Wen Wen, seed puzzled, anticipating sothing was about to happen.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, a transport helicopter brought over a silver tallic cylinder, one ter in diater.
The tal Frenzy stepped forward, countless tal fras flew up, dragging the silver cylinder towards the center of Hua Shan City.
Watching the tal cylinder, Wen Wen’s eyes widened in shock.
Because the design of that tal cylinder was very familiar to Wen Wen; it was just like the mory Eraser he had in his own hand!
Only, this mory Eraser was unimaginably larger.
The True Order Ranger at the forefront said solemnly, “So of you here may not have seen this before.
This is a city-level mory Eraser, a one-ti-use tool.”
“After a single use, it can reset the mories of all ordinary people within a certain range, and all the mories in the city are interconnected.”
“Using a large-scale mory Eraser can minimize the chances of complications occurring afterward.”
