Chapter 305 - Viewing & Editing

"You want us to kill a cursed child like you? Do you think we are stupid? Killing you will obviously harm whoever does it…" a stubborn looking middle aged man replied to 'my' protest as if he was stating the obvious…

"Exactly, we did our best to drive you away, but you are too optimistic for a child, you always hung on to the little good things, causing the current situation to take place, you should have simply left and died somewhere else…" another aged man frowned as he said…

'This…'

Recalling what Sprout said before, it wasn't hard to deduce what was currently happening, but it felt a bit inconceivable…

The hateful stares that came from the men and women who acted on such words and seemed to believe that this was common sense to the point that they didn't even try to hide it, trying to drive a grown child away through an angry crowd after all their despicable ways failed to achieve their target… they really looked like they were monsters in the skins of humans…

'Was this how it started…?'

If this was the trigger that caused Sprout's corruption later on, then even if it seemed wrong, it at least made sense, the despising feelings that felt like they were welling in me was enough of a proof as to how far did Sprout hate these people and even wish to tear them to shreds…

"I see, it was all my fault then… is that what you want me to believe so I can commit suicide? Do you also think I'm the stupid one? Alright then, I will leave, but I'm not giving up just yet! I will find a way to obtain the power to destroy you all, till the last living person!" the body I was currently in replied in shouting as he started running and running away from the crowd and the village that they were currently standing at it's gate.

The rain fell as the somewhat child-like body of mine gave up and fell, before everything turned blank…

'Is this the end of this part...?'

Finding that my view has finally returned to normal as the broken memory seemed a bit less scary, I realized that I really did go though a part of Sprout's life.

'But why? It shouldn't be that easy to read memories…'

I honestly couldn't tell as to why I was able to read the memories just by approaching them with the intention to implement a part that I would like to add, the only reasons that I could come up with were either because Sprout's conscious was weak or it being a side effect of the de-demonification that Sprout went through earlier…

The normal process would have been only me being able to add the suggestions thanks to my superiority in mental energy without actually accessing his memory this way...

'Well, let's just add my suggestions for now…'

I would naturally still have to add in some parts to a few other memories so I didn't mind it anyway, I already had the intention to try that back then, but I held back due to the implications that followed the mind reading process, but since I was forced to go through this if I wanted to implement my suggestions anyway, it would be better to look carefully so that I could possibly find the moment he was corrupted at or something similar…

'Done.'

Removing a part of that hellish experience, I added in some attachment to Green Earth Village instead, which was needed to form the whole structure of my planned full suggestion.

'On to the next one…'

`~~`~~`~~`

"You… why did we give birth to you… all this suffering is because of you, why don't you just go and…" a haggard looking middle-aged man said to me with a distorted expression on his face…

"It's mother's fault, it's all my fault, I…" another haggard middle-aged woman said before grabbing a rope and… Omitted.

"It's all your fault, they did this to me because of you! You are really cursed like they said, I should have never tried to talk to someone like you!" a young girl said to me with an extremely despising look on her face…

As I went through several distorted parts in Sprout's mind and edited in certain suggestions, I could truly feel how miserable his life had been as a human, which seemed to be happening because he simply had the dark attribute?

This level of dscrimination seemed to be severely overboard, Sprout's whole childhood was totally ruined and destroyed to bits, the villagers all seemed to have lost their mercy when dealing with him, it was especially heartbreaking and even I sympathized with him as I experienced these parts from his own point of view…

I could finally somewhat understand the distortion in these parts were what seemed to have been keeping Sprout at the normal level of sanity, which were slightly unlocked with my interference, but I had mostly removed most of the hateful parts.

This wasn't a very easy mental energy task but it was actually very helpful as I already felt that my suggestion method was becoming more and more accurate with every change made, it was simply a great exercise.

Of course, after seeing all of that miserable past of his, I naturally changed my light suggestion plan and went into heavy editing mode, even if he did join the demons' side, it was apparent as to why he did so, his life wasn't worth remembering, I only needed his still hidden memories from his demon life but I had no use for his torturing experience so I found it good enough as a reward for his help to give him a really better past and have him enjoy what he didn't at the Green Earth Village…

'Almost done…'

Having gone through the whole distorted net of memories, I finally reached the core which seemed to be the most distorted yet also the biggest and the most intact one, I really hoped it would be the one with information about Sprout's demonification...
