When the wind in Hollow Zero once again blew through Trigger's scattered hair, the five figures she thought about day and night had disappeared without a trace.
The dead cannot be resurrected, Trigger naturally understands this truth.
Trigger was also shocked by another thing at this moment - she finally understood what Griseo meant by 'drawing it out'.
Yes, Griseo is not resurrecting anyone, she is just painting with the paint called 'emotion'.
"Griseo... Thank you for giving me a chance to say 'goodbye' properly."
Trigger smiled.
Although the only relic left by the old friend is the harmonica in my hand, I can see my old friends again and listen to the captain's teachings with my own ears.
She felt that everything was worth it.
Of course, this is what Trigger thinks. If it were just that, Griseo would not be allowed to use the power of the three Signetss.
Griseo closed the drawing board, walked to Trigger, and handed over a painting.
"Sister Trigger, you're welcome. I just drew your colors."
Trigger raised her head, and the indicator light on the mask turned soft yellow again. She took over the painting, which was about her and Lila Squad teammates.
Just like a group photo.
"Is this...?"
"Sister Trigger, if you want to see sister Charon and the others in the future, you can come to me with this painting."
"???"
"I can't make Sister Trigger summon it yet... After all, the power is too little and the paint I can use is too little."
"????"
Big sister, do you have many question marks?
Yes, this is the current state of Trigger. Listening to Griseo's words, she was like, "I'm so confused, open the door for me--I'm so confused that I'm home."
What I experienced tonight... is it true?
In fact, the principle of generating Ethereal in "Zenless Zone Zero" is exactly the same as the generation of monsters from earth veins in "Genshin Impact".
Whether it is a living thing, or an inorganic object such as a machine or stone, its existence itself means a 'soul obsession' or a 'memory fragment'.
After Ether Energy erodes all things, it will generate the corresponding type of Ethereal based on the host's 'information'.
In layman's terms, it goes like this - when the concentration of Ether in a certain area reaches a critical value, the Ether particles in the range will gather with each other and collapse.
Ether Energy will blend into the surrounding organic life and inorganic active compounds to form a "core" for storing information.
And Ethereal are those creations with "cores" - their appearance characteristics and combat behaviors are all derived from the information in the "cores".
(The detailed explanation of the above settings comes from the blogger Luo Nan of "Zenless Zone Zero". Readers who don't understand can go and take a look.)
In the same way, the principle of Griseo painting for Trigger is also the same.
Those relics contain memories between Trigger and his old friends. Griseo used his special ability to control Ether Energy and blend the 'memory fragments' into the paint.
But just like this, the figures of old friends summoned by the paintings are no different from puppets after all.
Therefore, Griseo relied on the power of the two Signetss [Discipline] and [Wisdom] to turn the sincere emotions Trigger poured into "Homecoming" into another kind of paint.
At this point, a painting depicting Trigger's old friends was born.
No matter her demeanor or personality, they are exactly the same as what she remembers - of course, that's only what she remembers.
Some people may say, isn't this also a kind of addiction to the past?
But for those who have truly experienced the pain of a broken heart - isn't this a good medicine?
Trigger put away the painting that Griseo handed her, and listened to the other party's explanation of how to use it and the precautions... The stone on her chest that had been pressed for many years became much lighter.
If the encounter with brother and sister Phaethon is the light in the darkness, then the gift of Griseo is the warmth that comforts the soul.
Trigger never thought that the little girl in front of her would give her such a heavy gift.
She was glad that she did not use common sense to evaluate Griseo. If she had regarded the other party's request as a joke, she would have missed this gift today.
Of course, excitement and joy did not swallow up Trigger's sanity.
She looked at Griseo solemnly and said, "Griseo, this ability of yours will be very dangerous! At least don't reveal it again until you have enough power to protect yourself."
Trigger's advice is not unreasonable - such an ability is so outrageous that even if it is leaked just a little, it is enough to attract the most greedy malice.
Finally, Trigger and Griseo stayed in Hollows for a long time, until a glimmer of light showed through the gray-purple sky.
Before leaving, Trigger picked up the harmonica and played a new tune.
There is no name, just a beginning.
Griseo listened quietly and recorded the color of the melody in his mind
If the first ray of gold shows through the dark blue, it is the quietest moment before dawn.
Time returns to the present, video store, studio on the third floor.
When Trigger finished eating a Red Bean bag again, Griseo once again handed the painting to her.
"Sister Trigger, the paint has been replenished. In addition to the previous method of use, it can now be used outside Hollows. When sleeping, just use Dreamscape."
As time goes by, Griseo becomes more and more powerful.
During the trip to Weifei Land, Griseo gained a new level of understanding of death, which not only increased the number of uses for Trigger, but also gave him new inspiration for Griseo.
"Okay, thank you Griseo!"
Trigger took the scroll. She was no longer surprised by this incredible function and was used to it.
Otherwise, why do you think Griseo's paintings sell so well?
Remember, in New Eridu, a happy family is the luck of a few people.
But if there is a painting that can help you see your loved ones in your memory again, or allow you to often meet and say a few words to your departed family members in your dreams--
Will you buy it or not?
Of course, unless Griseo does it deliberately, under normal circumstances, there are very few paintings with this effect.
Because the required 'pigment' is not only special, but also extremely 'expensive'.
"Griseo, have your abilities become stronger again?" Trigger felt the breath of Ether Energy in the scroll and asked doubtfully.
"Well, now outside Hollows, I can use a little more power."
Griseo raised his hand to call out a ball of Ether Energy, and the ball of light immediately dissipated in the air.
Pure Ether Energy is extremely unstable outside Hollows and needs to be converted twice before it can become a usable energy source.
This is also the reason why Ethereal only exists in Hollows.
Seeing Griseo's operation in front of him, Trigger didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.
Since she didn't know how to evaluate it, Trigger simply ignored it, so she looked at Griseo and asked, "Griseo, can I ask you a favor?"
"What?"
"This is the next Outer Ring investigation. Can you ask to go with Manager Ling?"
"Sister Trigger wants Brother Zhe..."
Before Griseo finished speaking, Trigger nodded crazily, his eye mask flashing pink hearts.
She has already made 10,000 date plans.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
