Chapter 15 Investigator-Shaun [Additional updates for the leader of the alliance]
Inside the high wall.
Xiao En now has to work two jobs, because he also has to take Lolis’s job.
Ms. Hecate is still not here today. The ghost maid brought two books to Xiao En, namely "Super Magic Skills of Spellcasters" and "Crazy Stance of Evil Things".
This mysterious knowledge is already a bit too much for Xiao En, but Ms. Hecate seems to want him to memorize it by rote first.
"You are contaminated."
When Xiao En returned to his residence, the butcher's deep voice sounded.
He was still concentrating on chopping meat. There was a pillar of decomposed flesh and blood beside him. He said solemnly: "Tomorrow I will send you back to the real world in advance."
Xiao En was stunned when he heard this. land.
The butcher continued to swing his knife and said calmly: "You don't feel fear, that's because you don't have fear."
"But His existence has entered your spirit."
"You will always remember Him."
Xiao En hesitated for a moment, and the weird and huge monster flashed in his mind , whispered: "What is that?"
The butcher hung the heavy pillar of flesh and blood on the iron hook covered with dirty blood, and said slowly: "The orphan of Kirishima."
"That's what we call Him."
"Indescribable ancient existences, heirs of the past, some other worlds call beings like them ancient evil beings."
Xiao En continued to ask: "Am I contaminated?"
"Why don't I feel anything?"
The butcher decomposed the pillar of flesh and blood like a butcher unloading a cow, and said in a deep voice: "There are still many things you haven't felt, and mental pollution will not happen all at once. It’s a slow process to take effect.”
“But when you see His existence, you have to endure His madness.”
Xiao En frowned and whispered: "Is there any solution?"
The butcher split the pillar of flesh and blood in half, took out the spine, and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Hecate can help You remove the pollution, but she won't come back in a short time."
"Another way is to forget it over time and survive the stage when his mental pollution takes effect on you."
Xiao En seemed to understand.
He suddenly thought of the dark red leather book he had read today, and said in a solemn voice: "Crazy gesture?"
The book says.
As long as you see the crazy posture of the evil thing, you will be infected by the madness and continue to lose your rationality. If you cannot survive it, you will slowly enter a staged state of madness.
The Butcher turned his head and glanced at Xiao En, nodded and said: "You can say that."
"But his ability is even more terrifying."
Understood.
Because Xiao En glanced at him, he has now been put into a continuous negative state, and his sanity will continue to pass over time. If he cannot survive it, Xiao En will have mental pollution and break out. First, he will have intermittent seizures. In the end he became a complete madman.
Ms. Hecate can remove this negative status, but she is not here now. It seems that there are other important things.
"Is SAN worth it?"
"Do I have to rely on myself to survive the time when the crazy posture takes effect?" Xiao En said to himself.
He looked at the butcher in front of him and said solemnly: "How long will it take for me to get over it?"
The butcher thought for a while and said, "I don't know."
"As little as seven days, as long as half a month."
"If you don't have any effect for half a month, then your rationality I'm afraid it's stronger than others!"
"I will send you back to the real world tomorrow."
"It will be less affected there."
"When you get through this period, Ms. Hecate should be back."
Xiao En couldn't help but think of Lolis. Was she sane or crazy in the end?
Today’s dinner is grilled fish, mashed potatoes, and mushroom soup. Xiao En suspected that the mushrooms grew in the mausoleum because he had eaten mushrooms several times.
Butcher is still completely vegetarian.
After Xiao En returned to the room, he picked up the heavy iron hook and hung the pillar of flesh and blood.
"Why are you here?" He asked towards the empty place beside him.
After a moment, the butcher said in a deep voice: "I know, but this is the only way to send him back to the real world in advance, where it will be safer."
"Everything will wait until Ms. Hecate comes back. .”
A brief silence.
The butcher lifted the heavy meat hook and said murderously: "It's the Whisperer."
"Only they can plant spiritual hints without anyone noticing."
Night falls.
Shaun had a very real dream.
He dreamed of the endless fog, the reflected giant wandering in the fog, weird murmurings whispering in his ears, and from time to time, there were baby-like cries. I don't know if it was because he had no fear, but Xiao En was not that scared. On the contrary, he was very curious. When the fog emerged, he had already realized that he was dreaming.
He saw an island, deep in the sea.
A black, bloated, sarcoma-like organ seemed to be an embryo, spreading on the ground, beating slightly. Under the cover of the mist, a black hand with sharp claws tore open the placenta, and his rickety figure slowly Climbing out, dragging the long umbilical cord, the filthy blood spread along the ground. Finally, countless umbilical cords swayed like roots. They were entangled together and turned into three pairs of angel wings that spread like seaweed.
Finally, He slowly opened his eyes. His dark eyes had no pupils, and he looked through the fog to where Xiao En was.
Ah!
Xiao En woke up.
He felt his heart beating faster and he was sweating profusely. However, after he woke up, his mood gradually calmed down.
"Has it started yet?"
Xiao En's condition is not that bad, he just feels tired and mentally lazy. He kind of suspects that the others are scared crazy.
But he has no fear now.
If it was just this level of mental pollution, Xiao En felt that he could resist it for a long, long time.
Just a real nightmare.
"No more sleep!" "Cultivation!"
Xiao En had no intention of continuing to sleep. He began to look through the knowledge he had memorized today, looking for the secrets behind the madness.
“Mental pollution first begins in dreams.”
“In order to resist mental pollution, some people begin to resist sleep, but as their energy becomes worse and worse, they begin to appear during the day Hallucination.”
“The first stage of madness is mental sensitivity and neurosis.”
“The second stage of madness is mental disorder and deviations in self-perception.”
“This effect is constantly strengthening. , when the third stage begins, the polluter has already shown a certain state of madness. "
No longer cultivates immortality, and continues to sleep.
After Xiao En read through the knowledge memorized in his mind, he simply fell asleep.
The sky is bright.
Xiao En heard the sound of the butcher chopping meat. He got up and put on his clothes. The butcher was already waiting for him outside.
The real world.
Xiao En's expression was a little excited, because in his memory, the real world was a normal place.
The butcher patted him on the shoulder and said: "Come with me."
"Before you leave, there are some things you must know."
"First, do not reveal anything related to this place in the real world."
"Second, do not reveal anything related to this place in the real world." Easily using supernatural powers will attract law enforcement organizations, and I don’t want to hunt you down."
"Third, obey the laws of the ordinary world, which is the cornerstone of the real world."
The butcher led Xiao En through the winding corridors. There seemed to be corridors everywhere. Going down the stairs was a corridor, and walking through the dark room was also a corridor.
Xiao En hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Can you tell me why?"
The butcher instantly understood what Xiao En meant and said in a deep voice: "A kind of protection mechanism."
" When ordinary people don’t believe in supernatural abilities, most people’s cognition will not touch the taboo, and it will be harder for them to see the indescribable horrors.”
“ Just like the confusion in you.”
"If you don't know, you won't be so scared."
Understood.
The more you know, the faster you go crazy.
If you don’t know anything, it is the best protection.
The butcher took out a certificate and a nice-looking wallet, handed it to Xiao En who was standing aside and said, "The identity I arranged for you is that of an investigator. Here are your certificates."
“But you don’t have to do anything right now, just rest and recuperate.”
“Remember to do more things that make you feel relaxed, happy, and happy. This can help you regain your energy.”
“ This is money.”
“I have given you one month’s salary in advance.”
There is a stack of banknotes in the wallet, which looks like a lot, but I don’t know what the purchasing power is.
After walking for more than half an hour, the butcher took Xiao En to an ancient gate with many mysterious symbols that Xiao En didn't recognize engraved on it.
The butcher bowed his head respectfully and said: "Mr. Door."
In Xiao En's surprised eyes, the countless mysterious symbols on the ancient gate in front of him began to change, and the last one An old human face emerged. It slowly opened its eyes, looked at Xiao En in front of it, and said solemnly: "What is the meaning of life? The soul of another world!"
A bit abrupt. question.
The butcher stood aside and said calmly: "You can answer whatever you want. Mr. Men always asks this question to everyone he meets."
No matter who passes by here, they will be asked the same question.
Xiao En hesitated for a moment, looked at the butcher beside him, and asked carefully: "Then what is your answer?"
Is there any metaphor for this question?
The butcher said nonchalantly: "Responsibility."
Is the meaning of life?
Are you asking such a profound question right from the start?
"Life is meaningless." Xiao En thought for a while and said: "If it is meaningful, it is that I have been here."
Mr. Men said nothing.
But along with the heavy sound of the door opening, a faintly glowing light door appeared in front of Xiao En's eyes.
The butcher stood there and said calmly: "Go."
"There is someone outside to pick you up."
Xiao En took a deep breath and stepped into the light door in front of him.
The world is spinning.
After a moment of dizziness, Xiao En's eyes flashed with light. He saw the towering pendulum clock in the distance, buildings in the modern style appeared in front of him, and there was the roar of trains in the distance. He was sitting very high and could see the ant-like crowds at the train station.
On the right is a residential area, with small villas and private courtyards. It seems to be a wealthy area. On the left is a busy market, with people coming and going, and you can even hear the noisy voices and Shouting.
"Are you the investigator - Sean?" a gentle and polite male voice sounded.
A slender young man appeared at the top of the stairs. He had a handsome face and a high nose. He looked like a sculpture from the Greek era. He was dressed like a gentleman, wearing a straight suit and a high hat. Wearing a tall top hat and holding a black umbrella in his hand, he looks very decent.
I saw him taking off his top hat and making a friendly gesture: "I am Benjamin Tillion, and I will be responsible for arranging your vacation."
Xiao En subconsciously moved and was confused.
This time, he saw nothing.
