Chapter 190： Magical Realism

In the box, Edith found a letter from a doctor. From the letter, it can be seen that Lewis has a serious mental illness, and the perspective also came to Lewis who was working.

At the beginning, the player only needed to operate Lewis to cut off the fish head with a machine on the assembly line, but as the doctor described Lewis' disease, the picture began to change.

On the left side, like ink dizzy in the water, there was darkness, and in the darkness, a small figure seemed to be walking in a labyrinth drawn by chalk.

Teacher Xiaosan played the game with the handle. The joystick on the left of the handle controls the action of the villain, and the joystick on the right lets Lewis continue to cut the fish head.

As you can see from the description, everything on the left is Lewis fantasies, but he can't ignore these fantasies and takes them very seriously.

The doctor was worried that Lewis had an accident on the job because he couldn't get out of his fantasy, and found his boss, but the boss said that Lewis had become a model employee of the cannery, methodical, tireless, and focused...

The fantasy world on the left has become more gorgeous, from a pure plane to 2.5D, just like the game industry has undergone a change in the screen.

The doctor thought that everything was going in a good direction, but the fantasy world on the left had spread, occupying half of the picture, and the little man had also walked out of the labyrinth and came to the outside world.

Lewis also told the doctor that he had found a new friend...

At the same time as this sentence was said, a white dog appeared in the fantasy world, and followed behind the little man with a bark.

Lewis said he met new friends on the fringes of a city he called it.

He slowly built the city brick by brick, then he made musicians, made songs for them to play, he said he was going to form a band, and he was always humming something...

In the fantasy world, there are musicians playing behind the villain, and some people are dancing, as if they are holding some kind of celebration, full of joyful atmosphere.

His imagination grew stronger, he became reticent in the cannery, but his work was as reassuring as ever, and then one day he suddenly understood...all the cheering crowd...even the stones under his feet...all that It's all his imagination.

He could do anything he could imagine, so he held an election for mayor and won.

The townspeople begged him to stay, but his mind was no longer here, and it had become a game for him.

In the fantasy world, the villain got on a boat and set sail. Following the fairway, he conquered one city and then immediately moved on to the next.

He began to slowly drift away from reality until one day, he forgot to come home from the cannery, even though his mother begged him, Lewis didn't fully come back to reality, a part of him was still wandering,

At this point, the fantasy world has almost occupied the entire picture, and only the guillotine cutting the fish head on the right side and the fish that are delivered from time to time can be seen.

But after a series of choices in the fantasy world, the ship arrived at a city. At this time, the fantasy world has completely occupied all the pictures, only Lewis's hands and one fish with its head cut off can be seen.

The fantasy world has changed from 2.5D to third-person 3D, and the picture quality has taken another leap.

Following a gorgeously dressed man, the villain passed through the tall door and came to a splendid palace.

Lewis feels like he's in a fantasy world and has become bigger than a king, which is irresistible to someone who has never been successful in the real world.

Then he suddenly realized that the Lewis who cut salmon in the cannery was not the real Lewis, and now the real Lewis is the one who has climbed the Golden Palace step by step.

As the villain passes through a door that appears to be made of gold, the perspective changes again, from third person to first person, and it can be seen that the villain is in the cannery.

It seems to be controlling the villain to continue to move forward. Teacher Xiaosan quickly saw a worker at work. After walking in, he found that the worker was like a machine, repeating the same "fishing". action.

"This is Lewis! What does this mean? Is the soul out of the body?" Teacher Xiaosan couldn't help asking.

"Take your thoughts away! Doesn't it mean that he has forgotten the original world, even himself?"

"It shouldn't be forgetting, but not acknowledging that reality is real."

"The polarities are reversed, right?"

The perspective goes beyond Lewis at work and onto a conveyor belt leading to a high place, as if walking towards the high throne, ready to be crowned king under the golden light.

The golden window opened, and the villain, or Lewis, came into the singing and dancing palace, which was crowded with his companions, all cheering for his arrival.

In the palace, you can even see a huge cat with a sign hanging around the cat's neck, and the name on the sign is "Molly"!

Before walking up the red-carpeted steps to the "Throne", Lewis only needs to bow his head and be crowned as the new king.

But the throne looks like a guillotine no matter how you look at it, and when Lewis bows his head, he can still see the yellow and black warning that is unique to the knife that cuts the fish head.

With the sound of the knife falling, the picture completely darkened. A paragraph of text also emerged - the rest I think you know. Mrs Finch, your son was a kind man and will be missed by all of us who knew him.

Teacher Xiaosan touched the back of his head and said, "The story is that... Lewis was mentally ill and couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy, and finally chopped off his head?"

"True Beheaded Emperor!"

"I'm going to start breastfeeding again, right!"

"The decapitated emperor is not only a family of Gaul."

"I didn't say who was breastfeeding, how can you tell the truth."

After leaving Lewis's room, Edith lay down on a bed and took out a journal to start writing about the last night, the night her mother took her out of the house.

That night, Edith's mother had a dispute with Edie because of the move, and Edith, under the guidance of Edie, found a diary, which recorded that one night, because of the biggest ebb tide in history, Edie Finally had the opportunity to go to the old sunken house that she was longing for.

It was foggy that night, and Edie finally came to the house. Everything was so familiar, as if it had never changed. Just when Edie looked up, she saw a window in the old house lit up. light!

But at this time, Edith's mother suddenly appeared and snatched Edie's notes, so that Edith could not see what happened next, and Edie died the next day, which made the secret of the old house completely a mystery .

After leaving the spooky house, Edith and her mother moved a few times, and soon after, Edith's mother died of illness.

Edith became the last living man of the entire Finch family.

In a purple space, accompanied by a sound similar to a heartbeat, the floating words converged into paragraphs of words, and Edith's voice also sounded, and it could be heard that she seemed to be giving the fetus in her womb, slowly Telling this story.

After telling the story, Edith expressed his hope:

"This diary was meant for you, but now, I hope you'll never see it, I just want to meet you and tell you all these stories in person, but I think if you're reading this diary right now . . . that means my wish has failed."

In the rapid heartbeat, Edith's child was born, and the picture also came to a notebook.

It reads Edith's last words.

This will be where your story begins.

I'm sorry I couldn't see it with my own eyes, and while I know it would be too much to ask, I don't want you to be sad about my departure, I want you to be amazed that we all had the opportunity to be here.

good luck. Edith

The notebook was closed, the angle of view moved slowly, and it landed on a tombstone. The name on the tombstone was EdithFinch, and the time was from February 14, 1999 to January 18, 2017.

When Xiaosan saw this, she suddenly realized: "It turns out that the game was not from Edith's perspective at the beginning was her child's perspective, but because she opened the diary, she changed to Edith's perspective, and with this A chain of stories!"

"I just realized that, I always thought the protagonist was Edith!"

"The protagonist was indeed Edith, and she just took everything she learned in a journal and handed it over to her children."

"No wonder the game is called "Memories of Edith Finch", that's what it means!"

"Poor Edith, she didn't escape the curse, she died at a young age, and it looked like she was still dying in childbirth."

"Gou Thief's brain circuit is becoming more and more non-human, and such stories can be thought of by him."

"The great thing is that so many stories are linked together to make everything seem so absurd and real."

"It's called magic realism!"

"No! This is the ninth art!"
