Chapter 238 Popular Science
The other church officials present did not dare to say anything. Only Milo and Investigator C chatted the whole time.
"Why does it have to be me? Can't you persuade the law enforcement system to massacre an entire village? It shows that you are not lacking in fighting ability."
Milo put his hands in his pockets and pulled My own wet underwear.
"That's just an example. In most cases, we reject genocide." Investigator C tried his best to clarify the incident.
"If there had been people like you in the Severn Valley who were not affected by dreams, we wouldn't have been so decisive."
"What do you mean, a person like me." Milo whispered. He muttered, then suddenly took a breath and made a "hiss~~" sound.
“What’s wrong?” Investigator C was stunned for a moment.
"It's okay, I pulled my own hair." Milo waved his hand and motioned for the other person to continue talking.
“That must be painful.” Investigator C nodded and continued:
"In fact, as long as you are a normal person, I am talking about an adult with normal psychology and physiology. After he has experienced enough strange things, he will inevitably fall into a dilemma. This is what many of my predecessors have figured out. As a rule, many well-known investigators at Miskatonic University suffered from various mental illnesses in their later years, of course, provided they survived into old age."
"I know this, try to understand the occult. This is basically the fate of everyone." Milo shrugged.
He already knew this.
In fact, he himself was once one of the victims.
Everything is linked to spiritual vision. Without high enough spiritual vision to forcefully try to understand the mysteries left by the old gods, the only outcome is to fall into the abyss forever.
Insanity is just one of the reactions. The physiological functions of people who fall into the abyss will gradually deteriorate until the end of life.
Ethan Field, who degenerated into a disabled monster in the church's secret room, is the best example.
......
“No, I’m not just talking about this.”
However, Investigator C kept shaking his head:
"You are talking about those people who have studied the occult in depth. What I want to say are ordinary people who have no concept of occultism at all. San value, maybe you have not heard of this concept, but in my school, this is a human being It is a level of human concern, which is related to the physical and mental health of every worker, and even life. If a person is often exposed to things that he cannot understand, his sanity will be continuously reduced in a subtle way. And when the sanity value reaches a certain level, he will fall into madness."
"..."
Milo blinked.
Investigator C’s words might be considered gibberish to anyone else, but from Milo’s perspective, they are completely understandable.
"Well..." He pondered for a while and then asked:
"I once took over a case where a serial murderer's daughter... tore his wife to pieces at home. Since then, this person has fallen into a state of madness and continued to cause murder. Is this the situation you mentioned? ""That's the case!" Investigator C nodded wildly: "Don't think it's just a matter of pure excitement or inability to accept reality. From a professional point of view, it's actually a case of madness. It’s the murderer in your mouth whose sanity has been reduced and his original will has collapsed, so he needs to find other ways to maintain his thinking, such as killing.”
Milo couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the sewer pipe network. Robben held his daughter who had turned into a mummy, softly comforting her, as if his daughter was still alive...
"I understand. "Yes." He nodded, took his hand out of his trouser pocket, shook it in the sun, and then asked: "So what you are looking for is, like me, who has seen too many weird things, Is san worthy of standing tall?"
"Yes, I have learned about some characters similar to you from the notes of some seniors, but such people are rare. I have been in this country for more than ten years. I haven't seen it in years, and I finally found it in Nanwei City today." Investigator C became more and more excited: "If you are interested, the investigator team welcomes people like you to join!"
"Stop, stop." Milo waved his hand: "I just want to understand the situation. In fact, I am not very interested in your school."
"I don't expect you to agree immediately. Of course, you still If you want to know anything, I will tell you the truth, as long as I know it." Investigator C is not wary of Milo at all. It seems that he already knew Milo's position well during the battle on the canal.
"I want to know if the law enforcement officers who were in charge of the Severn Valley case were..." Milo raised his eyebrows.
“Nearly 30% of law enforcement officers committed suicide, and the rest are now placed in lunatic asylums in the Miskatonic Valley.” When Investigator C talked about this past incident, his originally cheerful face obviously dimmed. Quite a few.
"Then why are you not crazy?" Milo asked in a very conventional way.
Investigator C immediately rolled up his shirt sleeves to show the dense knife marks on his forearm: "Sometimes the pain caused by the damage to the skin is not entirely due to resisting Meng Yin."
"Nan There are several good tattoo shops in Weicheng. Maybe you can choose some good patterns to cover these scars, otherwise it will easily scare the children." Milo muttered nonchalantly.
Investigator C smiled freely: "Your suggestion is quite good, but I think I may have to wait until the day I retire to consider this matter. After all, these wounds need to be constantly updated, right?"< br>
"That's right." Milo shrugged. He suddenly thought of Charles and asked, "Do you remember Charles Winton? The young man who cooperated with you to trace the family members, he later ran away. Go to the Severn Valley and be caught by you, forcing him to participate in the massacre plan."
"Of course you remember, Charles, is he okay?" Investigator C nodded.
"That's what I want to ask. Didn't you say that the law enforcement officer in charge of the Severn Valley incident died crazy? Will Charles also..." Milo spread his hands and asked.
"It shouldn't happen. He only participated in the final finishing work and did not participate in the first half of the eradication plan. It may have a slight impact, but he will not go crazy. His sanity value is still within the normal range. , Of course, there may be some changes in personality, which is inevitable," Investigator C said lightly.
Milo glanced sideways at Eric's shadow.
The latter nodded towards him to express his gratitude.
Milo also nodded lightly.
...
While he and the investigators continued to blow water, the water in the canal at the bottom of the Church Bridge suddenly began to boil.
