Chapter 79 Ghosts and Monsters(1/2)
I pressed my fingers lightly on the page and started reading slowly.
"The emergence of ghosts mainly stems from the following points."
"First, ghosts and monsters need to be discussed separately. Because they are two completely different creatures."
"Second, the meaning of ghosts is that they are living entities that appear in a world invisible to humans and are essentially the same as humans. In addition, these guys have certain intelligence and can communicate with humans at the most basic level.
That’s why they are called ghosts.”
"Because of the existence of ghosts, it can also be proved from the side that this world is connected to multiple undiscovered inner worlds."
"In order to easily distinguish the types of ghosts and monsters, people later added an additional condition when customizing the definition of ghosts. If it is temporarily impossible to determine whether it is a ghost or a monster, and before the essence is explored clearly,
They are all temporarily called mysterious creatures."
"But as for the rules of ghosts' appearance and the characteristics of their formation, it is still not known yet."
"I don't have the slightest clue here."
"Third, the meaning of monster is the monsters that appear in unexplored and unknown areas."
"Or it could be said that there are monsters that breed in unknown areas on the planet, are uncommon, are aggressive, are not animal species, and have mutated characteristics. If the above points appear, they are called monsters."
"Perhaps this explanation will be more familiar and easier to understand."
"For example, bats are animals. There is nothing to explain."
"But if there are giant bats, then if you want to judge whether they are monsters, you have to look at the following points."
"Will it actively attack humans? Will it mutate and evolve again? Is it very uncommon?"
"In fact, it would be strange if the above three points are met."
"The emergence or reproduction of the unknown fields mentioned before are both sufficient and unnecessary conditions."
"That is, this condition can be regarded as part of the conditions for recognizing a creature as a monster, but it is not the key to determining whether a creature is a monster."
"A more abstract explanation is that A is the condition and B is the conclusion."
"B can be derived from A, but A cannot be derived from B, then A is a sufficient and unnecessary condition of B."
[The succinct explanations in this book actually made me feel like reading...
But if you put it this way, maybe the monster that ate my head that I saw at home was the so-called monster, right?]
Seeing this, I couldn't help but rub my head and let out a wry smile.
There are still many things I need to know, but it is obvious that the book in front of me does not have what I want.
Helpless, I could only get up again and look for the available books in front of me.
Suddenly, I was looking for books and suddenly saw a heavy book sitting on the bookshelf in front of me.
The title of this book immediately aroused my interest.
"The True Secret of the Paranormal Detective Agency"
"That's it."
After making the decision, I directly raised my hand to take the book and began to slowly browse through the books to search for it.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Due to the astonishing thickness of the book, it took me almost three minutes just to search through the catalog.
"found it."
My finger finally stopped on a piece of information in the catalog, and then I turned to the page where it was, and couldn't wait to read it:
"If a ghost or strange thing appears, law enforcement will name it a supernatural event. If many strange creatures appear and cannot be seen for a while,
If the truth cannot be solved or cannot be discovered, it is named urban legend."
"The so-called supernatural events are roughly divided into three types."
"The first type is man-made."
"The second type is made by ghosts."
"The third type is the blame for manufacturing."
"Fuck, isn't this nonsense?"
When I saw this, I couldn't help but curse and started complaining.
[Speaking of which, this book won’t be so deceptive that the whole book is full of slander, right?]
Thinking of this, I shook my head slightly and sighed helplessly.
"The causes of artificially created supernatural events are due to certain contradictions or are carried out on the premise of sudden whims. Of course, unintentional and coincidence are not excluded."
"In short, all kinds of things look like encountering ghosts, and they are easy and convenient to solve. When explaining, it is also a breeze."
"But the second and third types of ghost creation are a bit tricky."
"After all, with what we have now, there is no so-called otherworld detector, so finding hidden ghosts is also a troublesome thing."
"If you can't find it, not only will you not be able to solve the supernatural incident, but it will also affect the reputation of the detective agency."
"Of course, when a ghost is found, the first thought of all detectives is to hide their own powers and try not to expose them to ordinary people."
"Because in the propaganda of the law enforcers, although the existence of superpowers is not publicized, the law enforcers do publicize the dangers and appearance of ghosts."
"In other words, the Supernatural Detective Agency must solve monsters without revealing its own powers."
"Of course, through endless experience, they have also come up with new methods."
"The first point is to let the civilians leave the house as soon as possible and cast the spell alone to ensure that the superpower is not released from the source."
"Second point, if you are still accidentally seen by civilians with supernatural powers, you should come up with your own cool device."
"Cool devices: props that look flashy and whistle, but have no use."
"Whenever they are discovered by civilians, they use these as high-tech inventions to explain the superpowers they just released."
"Of course, the law enforcers also thoughtfully gave a lot of help to members of the detective agency. For example, based on their big data statistics capabilities, they officially announced many weapons that did not exist to appease the public's doubts."
[I didn’t expect...these law enforcers actually think so clearly, then I really underestimate them.
It seems that not all officials are ‘meat-eaters who are despicable and incapable of far-sightedness.’]
I sighed with some emotion, not only praising them as law enforcers for not having stupid ideas, but also feeling sad that the civilians were being deceived like pigs.
However, since the order of the world is like this, I won’t make too many comments.
Just when I was about to continue reading the next article, I heard footsteps going upstairs behind me.
I turned my head following the voice and glanced subconsciously defensively.
The person who went upstairs was indeed Feng Linwan, but I was still wary and stared at his steps, for fear that he would have murderous intentions towards me again.
I saw him rubbing his hair with a towel, looking at the book in my hand and asking: "I didn't expect you to read here, how about it? Did you find what you wanted to read?"
"Well, I've read a lot of related stuff. Generally speaking, it's quite practical."
I smiled and lowered my head to him, concealing my defensiveness towards him.
"That's good. This book is very difficult to get. You can't find it anywhere else."
When Feng Linwan said this, he slowly put down the towel in his hand and looked at me with a proud look on his face.
"I have something very curious. Can you please call me?"
I looked at Feng Linwan's proud face and couldn't help but slowly drag out the doubts in my heart.
"Okay, tell me. I will tell you everything you want to know."
Feng Linwan looked at me with a smile and a big belly on his face.
"I want to know. Ordinary people are obviously not allowed to know that there are people with supernatural powers in this world, so why do we create this kind of book? Aren't we afraid of leaking it?"
My voice was full of doubts and confusion, as if these questions had already caused me some distress.
"Because it's for you time-travelers."
Feng Linwan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and explained with a smile.
"Ah? Why do you say that?"
I frowned in confusion, and the word shock was written all over my cheeks: "Also, how did you know that I am a time traveler?"
"the reason is simple."
Feng Linwan wiped his hands with his own towel, with a calm expression on his face: "Because I discovered that your breath does not belong here. After I confirmed that you are not Inspector Yang, I discovered that you are not from this world.
people."
"Then what?"
I stood up with some vigilance, my body began to tense up, and my face was full of guard against him.
"ha?"
Feng Linwan looked at my reaction and couldn't help scratching his head: "You don't actually need to be so guarded against me. After all, you can be a person with super powers. But it's strange to say that someone like you, who has traveled to another world,
