Chapter 960 The Unknown (III)
Seeing this, everyone probably discovered that cousin Idong is not an ordinary person.
Although this is not a game world, the reality outside the realm of innocence is not necessarily realistic.
After all, there are too many things in this world that are difficult to explain, but most of the things that are not very realistic often hide themselves under this simple reality.
Maybe it’s for social stability, maybe it’s to make a living, maybe it’s to avoid being arrested and sliced, maybe it’s to punish rape and eradicate evil and support justice. In short, in most cases, these are unrealistic and illegal. Ordinary people cannot see or even detect everyday things.
Even if ordinary people see it or notice it, they will probably not see it or notice it.
Although these contents are not very related to a book about online games, and the share of appearances is destined to not be very large, it is indeed part of this worldview.
Unscientific things do exist.
Unrealistic things do exist.
As long as these things exist, they will definitely leave clues. No matter how vigorous the aftermath is, it will never be completely clean and traceless.
For example, in an old power plant in City B three years ago, Mo Tan was almost killed by an unknown object similar in nature to an electric mouse, and almost had three minutes of his memory wiped out by a security guard.
The reason why I say it was close is because he neither died nor was his memory successfully erased.
To be more precise, he was indeed erased at that time...or he forged his memory, but the real memory was recovered at the moment of passive personality transformation.
To this day, all the details of those three minutes are firmly engraved in Mo Tan's mind.
[Kehalet - Glow]: Snap fingers, three groups of irregular geometric figures, golden, can illuminate and warm.
[Xun·Li——Xiao Linghuo]: Raise your left hand, step and slap, spiral flame, cyan, can be used to hurt the enemy.
[Xun·Gen·Qian·Kun—The Four Gates Taiyi Lao of the Day After Tomorrow]: The cursive script that appears directly in the air is used for sealing.
[Gen·Kun - Resculpting Clay Buddha]: A strange technique that can regenerate a broken pillar.
[Parasitic Thunder Glue Demon]: An unknown slime-like creature. It should be some kind of very weak monster, but it can still kill a healthy adult. After being sealed, it will be turned into beads.
[Big Demon]: It seems to be a hierarchical term for the above-mentioned creature.
[Demon Realm]: A professional term that seems to be able to be ‘monstered’? ’ used, meaning unknown.
[Senior Nifeng]: A middle-aged security guard with an unattractive appearance. He goes out to buy discounted food at night. His identity should be disguised. He has the same name as a well-known express delivery company in the city. His mobile phone is super antique. Theoretically, the Nokia 5300, which cannot even insert current phone cards, is very likely to be much older than it looks.
[Super Power Passerby Duan]: The young man named Duan is the descendant of Senior Nifeng. He has the ability to kill a 'big devil' on his own. Three years ago, he seemed to be working as a milk delivery boy,
[Good little card]: A prop that can at least eliminate and replace a normal person's memory for 191 seconds. The principle is unknown.
[Strongly pulling out fireworks]: It should be a product from the [Weird] store that I often frequent, but I have never seen it.
[Ferry Rice, Joe Rice]: A pair of British twins who look to be in their early twenties. They are the owners of [Weird and Weird]. They specialize in magic props and can produce ultra-powerful CUPs that are difficult to explain scientifically. , the main reason why I can compete with Futaba is because computers with CUP as the core also have a shop in the Innocence Realm.
[Marginal Man]: An organization that gathers all kinds of supermen. Whether it is [Senior Headwind] or [Superpower Passerby], he is a member of it. In addition, I met him in the game. The player 'Pomegranate' in the adventurer team [the fun-loving group] seems to have mistakenly described the person from the future who is said to be a marginalized person due to a slip of the tongue.
The above are most of the clues that Mo Tan could find, pointing directly to those 'unrealistic' and 'unusual' clues. He did not leave any written or paper information, let alone be clever. Instead of creating an encrypted file on your computer or writing a diary and locking it in a drawer at home, put it in the safest place, that is, in your own head.
It is difficult for anyone not to be curious about this kind of thing, and Mo Tan is no exception. In fact, no matter which personality Mo Tan is, he has a great interest in these unrealistic things. interest.
It would be okay if you didn’t know it from the beginning, but now that you know it, it is impossible for contemporary young people who have watched a lot of animations, movies, and novels since childhood not to be curious.
But Mo Tan did not take any substantive action, nor did he try to explore the clues that he had firmly grasped in his hands. Even under his unscrupulous "chaotic neutral" personality, he never Any attempt has been made.
It's not impossible. If Mo Tan uses all the resources in his hand and has mastered the above clues, he can actually follow the clues very easily. Even if [Weird Weird] and [Senior Nifeng] 】It is difficult to get started, but it is definitely not difficult to find a male student who was a milk delivery worker in city B three years ago and appeared in that old power plant at a certain point in time. You must know the hunting angel in his computer (half a year ago The hunting plate system (has been renamed hunting plate) is not only used to screen double leaves.
So, it is easy to find.
The problem is what should I do if I find out something?
A guy who can shoot flames casually and can make people lose their memory by just taking out a small card. As an ordinary person, what will happen if Mo Tan touches the world he lives in?
The answer is very simple and can be calculated...
Caught on fire!
Playing with fire and burning yourself!
Trapped in a cocoon!
A hundred harms and no good!
Even Mo Tan, who has a 'chaotic neutral' personality, is unwilling to play such an extremely unfair game. It is true that he is interested in everything that can make him happy, but pleasure does not mean self-abuse. It's not something he can do to challenge krypton gold players based on his identity.
And besides that, there is another very important reason...
That is, the one that Mo Tan knew has disappeared, but according to the current situation, it is very likely that he has appeared in Personality in the Innocent Realm.
That person who doesn’t want to admit that ‘it’ is his own personality no matter what.
It is not something that should exist. It is a mistake in itself. It should not even be called a 'personality'. In Mo Tan's eyes, it is simply something that can be equated with a demon. .
And those so-called [marginal people] seem to be engaged in the business of GANK monsters.
If I were just an ordinary person, or just an ordinary mental patient, I might not take so many risks, and there is even a high probability that I would just have my memory wiped or something, but...
[If I am targeted, if that existence that was once a part of me is discovered, will I be cleaned out by those fringe people like monsters? 】
Compared to the parasitic thunder glue that seemed to have caused trouble and hurt people in the old power plant, Mo Tan felt that 'that self' was more like a monster, a monster that even he could not tolerate. Can those 'supermen' really tolerate such an existence?
He didn't know and didn't dare to bet.
This kind of chip ratio is simply an unfair gambling table. Even he, who is 'Tan Mo' in the game, will not sit on it.
So, Mo Tan always carefully suppressed his curiosity in his heart, and was prepared never to act rashly before he was absolutely sure.
In other words, I plan not to touch those unrealistic things for the rest of my life.
After all, there is no such thing as "absolute certainty" in front of those 'supermen'.
The above is the known information in Mo Tan's hands and his views on these supernatural things.
What he didn’t know was that those ‘extraordinary’ things that he had been carefully avoiding were all around him.
A place very close to you.
How close is it specifically? Let me give two examples to illustrate.
First of all, there is a paper bird made of A4 paper sitting on his shoulder, and neither he nor Ito can see, touch, or feel it.
Secondly, seeing Yi Dongmi next to him, Mo Tan's best friend, his parents...or it can be said that his entire family, are all in the 'non-daily' realm that Mo Tan recognizes. Except for Yi Dong himself.
Yes, Yidong is an ordinary person, an ordinary young man who has been educated in materialist ideas for more than 20 years. In addition to being handsome, having a rich family, being brotherly and loyal, and having a mental illness, There is nothing special other than best friends.
But, only for himself.
Yidong’s father is not a normal person. Although he is indeed a human being, apart from the Little Smart Toy Company he runs on the surface, he actually has another unknown identity behind the scenes. Although he is not a "marginal person" as Mo Tan knows, his nature is similar and he is called a "spiritual medium".
Not the kind of psychic who pretends to be a god and deceives people, but a psychic who can truly drive ghosts!
By the way, Idong's grandfather who has passed away long ago, and his great-grandfather who raised Idong from childhood to adulthood and is still in good spirits are also spiritual mediums, and the ancestors above are also spiritual mediums.
And Yi Nan, Yi Dong’s father, is one of the most powerful spiritual mediums in the contemporary era.
As for Yi Dong’s mother, Gu Yanyue, the well-known COSER Gu Gu Jiang, who gave Mo Tan the nickname “Tan Jiang”, her family also used to be “spiritual mediums”. We are family friends, but a long, long time ago, because there was no business and I was about to starve to death, I left my motherland, moved to Japan, and even changed myself into a vest.
The name of the vest is——[Onmyoji]
Under this premise, whether it is Father Ito, the strongest spiritual medium in the contemporary era, or the past [ Gu Yanyue, who is an expert in the secret art of psychic mediums, now known as [Onmyoji], did not find anything wrong with her son, his best friend.
As for why it was said that it was 'not found', the reason is very simple, because the couple, like Gu Xiaole now, noticed that something seemed not right about the child Mo Tan, and wondered whether he was possessed by a ghost or something. I once checked him secretly.
The inspection result is - completely normal.
Perhaps, if Mo Tan had not almost cut off contact with Yi Dong in the years after leaving the orphanage, but had postponed his visit to junior high school to the time when he just left the orphanage. , Yi Nan and his wife might really discover something, but because of his caution, this did not happen after all.
Otherwise... this book will be gone.
Then let us bring the topic back and talk about Gu Xiaole.
Unlike Yi Dong, who was not trained in the direction of [spiritual medium] by his parents, but in the direction of a normal person... I mean an only son, Gu Xiaole, who grew up in a Japanese family, has been indoctrinated with a lot of supernatural knowledge since he was a child. From the moment he was born, he was a person in the 'other world' that Mo Tan knew.
There are three main reasons for this. One is that the Gu family did not participate too much in the major event that happened in the motherland that year, except for the water poured out by Yidong’s mother. , there is no need to have any taboos when training the next generation. On the other hand, Gu Xiaole is born with yin and yang eyes and can see ghosts since he was a child. If he is not trained to be an yin and yang master, it will not be perfect at all. On the contrary, it will easily make the child develop a mature worldview. I am frightened every day...
Thirdly, it is because Gu Xiaole is destined to commit the crimes of Mingchi, Jingji, and Quanyou. He is born to be a good material to be an onmyoji. Whatever he learns and practices, he gets twice the result with half the effort. Just like the fire mage with the fire element affinity talent in the Innocence Realm.
The fate of Sanshui Juexing is actually very bad. If it were placed on the children of ordinary families, it would be impossible to kill the whole family and themselves, and even become ghosts after death, but if If you put it in a family of psychics, it would be a treasure.
A few simple evil-fighting secrets, plus a large kettle filled with boiling talisman water, can suppress it.
This is also the reason why Gu Xiaole would hold a big water bottle every day when he returned to his motherland to play at Yi Dong's house.
To sum up, when the girl successfully evolved from a monkey...I mean from a wrinkled and ugly ugly lolita to a tall and graceful beauty, her attainments in the field of onmyoji have already It's quite in-depth. Although he can't control a Shikigami of the level of 'Tai Shang' in the game in real life, he will never be much inferior to Ito's parents at the same age.
So she was very confident in her Xiaoxue No. 1, the shikigami who had just been thrown out to check whether Mo Tan was really possessed by a ghost.
The girl was even confident that she could quietly kill those dirty things without eyes even when Mo Tan was possessed by a ghost.
Then...
Then there is no more.
What Yidong’s parents can’t see, Gu Xiaole, who is just ‘deeply accomplished’ in Onmyojitsu, naturally can’t see it. Even if her Xiaoxue No. 1 super-evolves, It’s useless to become [鸩].
That is to say——
"Sure enough, I am too worried."
Putting away the paper bird that quietly passed through the door panel, Gu Xiaole took a long step out. After taking a breath, he relaxed his body and slid down to the floor, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised——
"In this case, that reassuring aura that I felt just now was indeed Tanjiang himself, exactly the same as he was back then."
