Chapter 45 Induction Training (4)
"Lesson 3 - How ghosts affect people." Qian Xiaoyi took a sip of tea and said: "Normally speaking, ghosts will affect people." People generally have two ways. Let's talk about the first and most common way first - establishing contact. Heitaro, have you noticed that if the ghosts you encounter want to directly hurt people, they need to It must have been a foreshadowing, instead of just popping out and killing people like in Western slasher horror movies."
Heita Inuyama heard this and said thoughtfully: "It seems...not really. I have encountered such a situation. The imps were able to hurt Harada because Harada whipped them many times and they established a connection through the wicker. Other than that, they really didn't seem to take the initiative to attack people. In other words. , only when a connection is established can ghosts have an impact on people? But why do I feel obvious discomfort every time even if I accidentally encounter a remnant soul?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "It's very simple, because you have already seen it~ As long as you see it, it is equivalent to acknowledging its existence subconsciously. This is already a very deep connection."
"That is Said..." Inuyama Heita's face dropped: "Are we psychics born to be connected with them and then affected by them..."
Qian Xiaoyi rolled his eyes and said matter-of-factly: "Shouldn't I have known this a long time ago? But I was not born with it, I was born with the eyes opened by my master in the acquired stage. But it's okay, just treat us as It would be nice if all these people who can see ghosts are mentally ill with the same hallucinations. "Isn't it too much to say that they are mentally ill?" Inuyama Heita complained.
“If you look at it from a normal person’s perspective, that’s what it is.” Qian Xiaoyi spread his hands: “Monsters that do not exist objectively only exist in people’s cognition, and their images are based on human culture. It can’t be made out of nothing, and only people with abnormal mental states can see these things. Isn’t this a mental illness?”
Inuyama Heita looked very sad and muttered to himself. Said: "I am mentally ill...I am mentally ill..."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "The same is true for those spells in religion. They can only be used under specific circumstances and cannot affect the real world. , otherwise if ghosts and magic really exist objectively, I would not be in Japan now, but in a national secret agency, stabbing the president of the United States.”
In Inuyama Heita's mind, there was a strange scene of Qian Xiaoyi with two candles tied to his head, a look of resentment on his face, pricking the scarecrow with a flowing yellow wig, and muttering: "I curse you, I curse you, idiot..." "This scene made Heita Inuyama tremble uncontrollably, so he quickly shook his head and wanted to forget this scene.
Qian Xiaoyi said leisurely: "But don't worry, if there are all crazy people around, then the only normal person will become abnormal. And just like not only patients with depression can be depressed, ordinary people They can also be depressed, so they occasionally get involved in ghost-related incidents. At this time, professionals like us need to appear... Ahem, the topic seems to be a bit far away, where did I just say it? "
Inuyama Heita thought for a while and said: "In order for a ghost to have an impact on people, it must be in contact with the target."
"That's right." Qian Xiaoyi said: "No matter how it is The connections made, such as seeing a cursed video tape, entering an abandoned house, picking up a weird doll, hearing a certain urban legend... As long as it is a method that can make people 'recognize' ghosts, it is to establish ghosts. An opportunity to connect with people. That’s why I said that as long as we talk about ghosts, we will definitely come back to the topic of cognition.”
Heita Inuyama thought thoughtfully, and then asked: “However, I was lucky before. How come the little ghosts from the mutual aid association can affect the people around their owners, making them unlucky and then benefiting themselves at the expense of others? Those people shouldn’t have the corresponding understanding of these little ghosts, right?”
"Yes, it is true." Qian Xiaoyi explained: "So at first, the little ghosts affected not those people, but their owners. Because of the rhetoric of transshipment, the little ghosts made their owners become sharp, confident, and The inner aggression is stronger, which in turn affects the people around him. This is an indirect effect, so the little devil can only attack his master, or that idiot Harada. ""That's it." Inuyama Heita suddenly realized: "Then if we reverse the situation and cut off the connection between ghosts and people, can their influence be eliminated?"
Qian Xiaoyi praised: "You are very talented. Heitaro, there are many ways to remove ghosts based on this idea, but this is a course for the future. It is too early for you now, and I have already said that establishing contact is just the first way for ghosts to influence people. It's just a way. "
Inuyama Heita asked curiously: "Then what is the second way?" He couldn't think of any other way to achieve this effect besides establishing contact.
Qian Xiaoyi glanced out the window. The originally dazzling sunlight was now a little dim. So Qian Xiaoyi patted the snack residue on his hand, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then stood up. Said: "The second way... the time is just right, why not let you actually experience it, Heitaro, you should have nothing else to do today, right?"
Inuyama Heita nodded: "No, I haven't been to Shanwai Building in the past few days. I asked for sick leave."
"Very good." Qian Xiaoyi said: "Then, let's go out for a walk. I'll take you to an interesting place."
"Where?" Inuyama Heita asked, following Qian Xiaoyi out.
Qian Xiaoyi smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when we get there."
Inuyama Heita was a little nervous, not knowing what terrifying place Qian Xiaoyi would take him to, and where he would be There are some scary ghosts.
Qian Xiaoyi first took him to the station. The two took the tram and passed one stop after another. The tram was very quiet along the way. Everyone lowered their heads and checked their mobile phones without talking. There was a strange silence, but it was nothing. A strange scene, the unspoken rules of Tokyo trams are like this. After sitting for a while, Inuyama Heita discovered that not only did they not go to any remote place, but the scenery outside the window became more and more prosperous.
Just when Heita Inuyama dozed off in his seat, Qian Xiaoyi woke him up: "Hey, don't sleep, we're getting off at the station."
" Yes~" Inuyama Heita yawned and followed the crowd of people out of the car.
In front of a huge intersection, the crowd is like a dense swarm of ants, passing through the intersection to the rhythm of the traffic lights, like a machine that operates with precision and never stops. Looking at the crowds of people coming and going, Inuyama Heita looked at Qian Xiaoyi with strange eyes: "So, the interesting place you mentioned...is Shibuya?"
