Chapter 77 Four Letters

In addition to the pistol, there are some things.

Following Karina's memory, Yao Yan took out some letters from the drawer that looked like they had been written but had not been sent yet.

Just look at the time of the envelope, the earliest letter envelope, which is a year ago, is the content inside Yao Yan:

[Dear Mrs. Ergon:]

[Good morning or evening, I'm not sure when to greet you, but I've come to this manor town as per your order.]

[It is a very boring town as you described. Although there are bars, it is not as rich as fishing catches and wines as Shirata City.]

[It's so boring here, but, I promise, madam, I will be able to find what you want according to your order.]

The first letter seemed to be just a letter expressing determination, and the content was not long.

After confirming that there was no special information, Yao Yan stuffed it back into the envelope and opened the second one.

[Dear Mrs. Ergon:]

[Good morning, although I was still very excited in the morning. You must not believe what I found?]

[This town really has magical powers.]

[Although I have used my gun to open my brains to several priests and gentlemen, and their holy Lord has not saved them, I can guarantee that what they find in this small town will be considered a demon.]

[It's just that, I'm sorry, I don't have enough accurate and exciting words to describe that thing, maybe it should be said to be a cat?]

[Really! Madam! I swear, I really saw that strange thing.]

[The rings you are looking for may be related to them!]

[But, I'm sorry, I'm the only one, I can't get rid of these dirty muddy guys quickly and find what you want. They're so annoying because I'm a foreigner and I'll keep staring at me.]

[For the sake of the incredible weird cat, I let them go.]

[But I swear, I will find it!]

The second letter contains a lot of useful information.

In addition to the shallow information that is easier to detect but useless than Mosenke, who has killed people, is not religious, and is sought after and despised the lower class, which is more obvious than the shallow information that Yao Yan is more concerned about "cats" and rings.

The latter, the thing Mrs. Ergon was looking for was a ring.

The former, the text in the specific letter describes that there is something incredible in this town, and it is described in a recent way in the image of a "cat", and that those priests who died under his gun would regard this thing as a demon.

Since realizing that his ability is essentially "rumor", Yao Yan will occasionally discover various related things from his memory that may lead to the generation and spread of rumors.

The "comparison" mechanism rooted in human identification ability is the most core rumor-making machine.

After a certain feature is "same" or "similar" in some form, humans will fit both sides.

For example, a person who has never seen other four-legged mammals except cats will say "a creature that looks very much like a cat" when seeing a dog.

By comparing these characteristics "walking four feet, having a tail, and ears on the top of the head", the two are compared.

Then, describing "The cat has a beard, but this animal does not, and it is bigger than a cat", can allow the communicator to roughly clarify the similarities.

Can humans clearly and quantitatively realize how many details there are between cats and dogs?

If he asked in his lifetime, the answer was basically "having", and it would be fine to compare it everywhere.

However, the problem is not here.

The problem is that human identification mechanism will be judged as "similar" when the same points reach a certain point.

What is the difference between "same" and "exactly the same" in the general sense?

If a person judges a and b as similar because of 50% similarity, then when he tells the second person this message, if the person's judgment on similarity is "60% identical", then what information does he get?

a and b are 60% similar.

What's worse, however, is that the person is not sure where the 60% of the similarity is.

If the weight he judges is "the whole body is the same as the outline", while the weight he judges is "the various characteristics are the same"...

For example, if the "same point" of the former does not include the feet, and the latter does not obtain this information clearly, then the feet will be judged as the same element.

During the transmission, his description may lead to the inadvertent bias of the parts he values.

Then, when he retells...

Before actually confirming the target, Yao Yan was quite taboo about descriptions like "like a cat".

Even he could not avoid such descriptions.

Because his language, his communication words, his conceptual expression, generation, effect, change, and his logical thinking are all based on this comparison mechanism.

The most common and common method of explanation used by humans is to use analogies and metaphors.

The easiest and most common place for rumors is also used as an analogy.

If this Mosenke focuses on certain characteristics, such as color, then this "cat-like" thing is an approximate color.

Even some people accidentally insert cat characteristics into it, unconsciously write this thing with cats, and then suffer a great loss or even die.

After deeply thinking about the birth and dissemination mechanism of "rumors" closely related to him, Yao Yan could not have noticed the possible risks here.

For example...

What information will be obtained and what information will be missed if others see and hear this in the previous paragraph?

Have others understood everything he wants to express?

Did someone come up with something he did not express or something different from his meaning?

At least, in his consciousness, the emergence of rumors is already quite common. He often finds that, but cannot do the "gray rhino" that he is completely guarding against at all times.

I can only hope that I will not suffer any losses in my own way.

Yao Yan suffers from rumors?

This is not a strange thing either.

Before his death, before the disaster came, one rumor was defeated by another rumor, and one poison eliminated another.

He also covered the second letter and stuffed it back to the envelope. Yao Yan took out the third letter, skillfully disassembled it, and pulled it out:

[Dear Mrs. Ergon:]

[Good evening.]

[I seem to have provoked a guy who is not kind.]

[It's not a cat.]

[Cats don't eat people.]

No, cats can eat people, and many people eat their owner's corpses.

Yao Yan turned his gaze indifferently:

[Someone has been eaten.]

[I, I'm also targeted!]

[No, I don't want to die!]

The short lines of poetry are like lines, but the content is not wonderful.

Yao Yan seemed to have thought of something, and reached out to take out the last letter and opened it.

[Dear Mrs. Ergon:]

[Good morning, William was eaten.]

[I'm getting eaten.]

The very short sentences have no exclamation marks, which seem to be very calm, and the sentences that are difficult to directly connect directly from grammatical perspectives have reminded Yao Yan of a question:
