The alien space itself, which was not very strong, collapsed due to the loss of energy. The dim corridors and the gloomy classrooms with gusty winds turned into pieces like broken glass. The scene around everyone changed back to the rooftop, and when the normal night scene
At the same time as they appeared, those abnormal things also quickly took shape in the air.
The broken corridors and classrooms did not dissipate in the wind after being turned into pieces, but twisted and mixed together, quickly forming new things: a utility knife several meters high, a huge compass, a huge burning book,
Black ghosts and huge human heads rolling on the ground, constantly bleeding blood. These images are all made up of fragments in the corridor. They look like they are covered with a layer of colorful shredded newspaper puzzles. One is nearly four meters long.
The compass passed by me, leaving scratches on the concrete floor of the roof that almost penetrated the ground, which shows that although these things come from illusion, they have the power to destroy reality.
Especially the giant head that is crying and howling, and looks horrible and disgusting. I don’t know what kind of horror story this is, but the way it rolls and oozes pus not only destroys the real space, but also destroys us.
Everyone's mood - even the Skeleton Mage couldn't stand its nausea, so he stepped forward to barbecue while waving his staff.
Disgusting, weird, and extremely destructive, but that's all. Compared with a group of surreal special forces, these huge foreign objects are just living targets. Twenty elite skeleton mages affiliated with the Salvation Army began to release dense bone mage.
The rain of spears and shadow arrows tore these strange things into pieces all over the sky. The long swords in the hands of the death knights flew flying, chopping up ghosts and monsters like melons and vegetables. Reimu and the three of them had never found a place to use them before, and now they finally found it.
I had no outlet to vent my anger, and started bombarding the sky with overwhelming barrage. I had to tightly hold the big horn on the head of Ibuki Watermelon next to me, and I didn’t dare to let go no matter how much the other party protested: I was really afraid that this powerful guy would demolish the building.
.
It seemed huge, but in fact it was an easy battle in which a few crushed the majority. Just half a minute passed, and with a slight snort, the huge head with unexpectedly tenacious vitality turned into jelly covering an area of 20 square meters.
All illusions finally disappeared.
The debris all over the ground turned into black smoke and dispersed in the wind, never to be reborn again.
"It's done." Lin Xue patted Qian Qian's shoulder, signaling the latter to release his ability. Immediately, the remaining classroom debris in the ghost domain turned into scattered fragments, but these fragments were not the same as the previous corridor fragments.
They turned into foreign objects, as if they were lacking in energy. After flickering a few times, they disappeared.
A dozen male and female students in school uniforms were lying there unconscious. Not far from them were flashlights that had long been extinguished and some scattered snack packages.
I didn't expect that we were so close to them. It seems that the ghost realm just now interfered with everyone's perception - of course, the lack of release of spiritual power was also one of the reasons.
"In the middle of the night, I climbed up to the roof of the teaching building where people had died to tell ghost stories. The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds." Lin Xue muttered, walking forward and trying to breathe under the nose of a student. "Finally, it's okay."
Alive."
As early as when we destroyed the ghost domain, the response personnel of the supernatural team were already on standby below. After Lin Xue sent the signal that the operation was over, someone immediately came up to send these students to rescue. At this time, I finally had the opportunity to ask
What's going on with Lin Xue? She obviously knows more than me, but this girl just likes to titillate people.
"Because the previous ones were just guesses. I will never tell others information that I am not sure of, because I am afraid of interfering with other people's judgment." On the way back, Lin Xue explained to me with a happy expression of success on her face,
"Those were the students attending the vacation class who disappeared many days ago, and they were all students living on campus. The school's surveillance showed that they walked towards the teaching building of the junior high school and then did not come back. The school can't bear this.
Stop fussing. On the third day after the disappearance, the unlucky teacher discovered the ghost domain, so I linked the two things together. I have explored this school several times, and traced what happened in the junior high school building.
It was finally determined that those students disappeared after they decided to go to the rooftop rooftop at night to hold a ghost story meeting. Two teachers and a student once died of heart attacks in the same classroom in this building, so many people
There are rumors that there are evil spirits lurking here, maybe this is the reason why those naughty kids are doing all these messy things. You also know that the holiday classes are sometimes stricter than normal, they can't sneak out of the school, and nothing else
Apart from hiding in the dormitory and surfing the Internet, there is nothing left to do but all kinds of nonsense."
I looked at Qian Qian and smiled. At the same time, the two of them recalled the experience of coming back in the middle of the night to turn on the lights and spread rumors about being haunted.
"So you are sure that those students are hiding on the seventh floor of the haunted junior high school?"
"It's not certain, just a guess." Lin Xue shook her finger at me. "First of all, our people have searched the entire school, and they really haven't found those students. Secondly, if the haunting incident is connected with the disappearance of the students, the haunted scene
Of course, it is the most likely place to hide people. In fact, after summarizing so many supernatural events, I have discovered some patterns, and now I see the scene of supernatural events in progress here... Well, especially those classrooms and compass books.
It makes people even more convinced...the so-called supernatural events are probably caused by the mind."
Qianqian and I expressed the hope that Lin Xue could talk to us in Chinese.
The eldest lady glared at the two guys who didn't want to use their brains at all, but she was in a good mood and patiently explained: "To put it simply, it's a nightmare coming true. Remember the rules I said before, everything
All haunted incidents occur in places where people gather. Similar supernatural phenomena have never occurred in uninhabited areas, which means that their occurrence is related to people. Then all the supernatural objects associated with haunted incidents also have a pattern, that is
Although they can survive completely after being produced, someone must be around at the moment they are produced, such as the palm-sized Sadako and the pair of porcelain dolls. They were both produced when someone was around, and then
Even if you leave that person, you can still exist independently. And this large-scale ghost realm also confirms this rule: it is not so much that the dozen students are trapped in the ghost realm, but it is better to say that the ghost realm is disappearing
It happens around students, and its form is also very concerning: large classrooms, mountains of textbooks, compasses, blood-red formulas, scary corridors and ghostly images that are similar to the "uncanny campus" atmosphere popular among students. These are the daily life of students.
The things they come into contact with the most and bring them the most direct psychological pressure.”
"In other words, what you feared in your heart has become a reality?"
Yuyuko, who had been sitting quietly in the back row of Qi Qian Yi listening to our conversation, suddenly spoke.
Although the plan of leading Youyouzi out to catch ghosts didn't work, the other party was quite familiar with this aspect of the matter, and she revealed the mystery in just one sentence.
"That should be it. To put it more concisely, it comes from the heart," Lin Xue nodded, "The things that people fear in the spiritual world appear in the real world. Although it sounds incredible, but..."
"We should bring Red A here," I looked up at the sky, "to make that guy fully realize the horror of Chinese copycats: how his whole life has been copied in large numbers by a bunch of uncles, aunts, and kids."
Should we say copycats save the world? Such a brutal mass-produced fantasy materializes - I guess the Heroic Spirit Emiya Shirou-kun will definitely do so after seeing the brutal fake?
He was deeply touched, and maybe one day we can see him looking at the curriculum of the No. 2 Middle School and crying like Hercules who was so sad when he faced a popsicle a few days ago.
"This is different... forget it, whatever you say," Lin Xue glanced at me sideways, "Anyway, things in the human spiritual world are indeed gradually becoming reality, and this incident also proved that I
A conjecture: The number of participants determines the scale of spiritual manifestation, and it is strengthened in a geometric manner. One person can only create some supernatural objects, which can create a haunted room at most, but a group of people can create a whole floor of ghostland.
, and contains countless horrific scenes. Of course, the price is also quite high, they almost died in it..."
I already understood what Lin Xue meant, but there was one thing I didn't quite understand: "You are talking about the 'fear' in the human subconscious becoming a reality. How do you explain that to the uncle who resells porcelain dolls? He is not afraid at all.
He looks like a ghost, that kind of ferocious guy."
"But his wife is afraid," the eldest lady knocked on my head, "If my hypothesis is true, those two porcelain dolls were actually 'imagined' by that weird uncle's wife, and the uncle was just a handler.
I’m going to reorganize the parties involved in those cases when I go back, and then lock in their social circles...Ah, it’s time to get off the bus.”
I parked the 700 billion on the side of the road and said to Lin Xue with a smile: "You only come home at two or three o'clock in the evening to perform a mission. Have your parents never suspected it?"
The eldest lady was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Since I was a child, I have never remembered a time when I could be with my parents after dinner. Living in that kind of behemoth home, there are many ways to make yourself 'disappear'
, not to mention grandpa helping to cover him. Well, speaking of which, dad has really been very angry recently - Mu Mu, when I don’t want me at home, I will just stay with you for a long time. "
I wanted to say something, but in the end I gave the same faint smile as the other person: "It's as if you don't come here all day to eat. Go back and have a good rest. I'll see if any of the students wake up tomorrow. Maybe everything will come to light."
.”
As a result of tonight's actions, we didn't get home until after three in the morning. The house was already quiet. We sent Qianqian, who was yawning profusely, back to the room, and at the same time, we made a lot of promises to stuff Reimu, the guy who failed to help but caused trouble, back to the Shadow City.
After entering, I came to the large standing cabinet in the living room.
Anweina usually doesn't need to sleep, but she will take a rest in the dead of night, just on top of the standing cabinet in the living room. I don't know how to describe this. In fact, the girl built a crow's nest on the cabinet, crow-ghost-
She who is the Trinity of the Holy Spirit is really treating herself like a bird now.
With a gentle knock on the cabinet, the big black crow fell down and turned into her pretty little maid in the shining of holy light. Anweina hurriedly lifted her skirt and saluted: "Ah, Master, you are back.
.Anweina failed to greet her immediately this time, which is really a failure."
"Don't worry, keep your voice down, don't wake up other people." I asked the ghost to sit down next to me. Since it's already this time, I simply won't sleep today. "Anweina, there is something I want to ask you.
, about ghosts and the like. Do you still remember how you became like this, right?"
Anweina didn't know what I wanted to say, but she nodded. The experience of becoming a ghost was definitely the most unforgettable experience in her life, both before and after her death. Although it was not a pleasant memory, now
Everything has passed, and she can now recall those times calmly.
"Ghost, it should be the process of spiritual power turning into a physical entity, right?" I looked at Anweina's body. Although she was a ghost, she could make herself appear in a physical state. In that state, apart from having a very low body temperature,
Besides, she is exactly the same as an ordinary girl, um, soft, ahem...
"Well, it's a bit similar. The explanation of the ghost phenomenon by the psychics in Azeroth is that after the death of a creature, the soul fails to dissipate due to various reasons, and gradually reaches a new balance with the natural energy of the outside world, and finally
It is a process of stabilizing, but in the final analysis, it is also the process of mental power breaking away from the body and gradually becoming a 'real' existence that can resonate with the outside world. I didn't know this knowledge before. This was when Lord Sylvanas came.
Tell Anweina."
"So does it take a lot of strength to become a ghost?" I organized my words to make my question as clear as possible, "Or does it require a lot of strength to transfer something from the spiritual world to the real world?
"
"It doesn't take any power to become a ghost. Master, have you forgotten? Anweina was just an ordinary girl when she was alive. Living in a small rural place, she didn't even see a real magician a few times. Transformation
What ghosts need is to meet some conditions, not how strong the power is. As for making things in the spiritual world appear in the real world, if it only needs to 'appear', it is also very easy when the conditions are met, like arcane magic
Little tricks like illusions can make things in the spiritual world appear in the real world. But in the end, this kind of thing is still false. It either cannot last long, or is easily damaged, or the difference from the real object can be seen at a glance."
Listening to Anweina talking about this knowledge, I gradually showed a surprised expression: "So you are so knowledgeable? This knowledge should not be necessary knowledge in the maid code, right?"
I absolutely do not believe that the nobles of Azeroth are so cruel that every maid in the family has graduated from Dalaran!
Hearing this, the ghost maid just lowered her head slightly and smiled sheepishly: "Master often goes out to fight, so I found some books about the world of Azeroth to read. Because my family was poor, even though I was literate, I didn't read them.
How many books have I read? Besides, I am always a little lonely when the master is away, so I need to find something to do."
The little maid said, with a shy look on her face, as if it was shameful to admit that she was afraid of loneliness. I reached out and rubbed the other person's long, smooth flaxen hair, thinking in my mind.
To make things in the spiritual world appear in the real world, the key word here is the word "appear". It is not necessary to rely on eroding the real world to turn fantasy things into real objects, but just to make them appear in the real world, you need
The power is not very strong. It can even be said that it does not require any power at all. Any ordinary person can do it.
According to the data we have collected, the mental strength of ordinary humans in the world of Azeroth is about the same as that of people on Earth. It does not stand out because the physical fitness of people in that world is generally off the charts. So what Anweina said
The word "very easy" also applies to people on earth.
Now K City and several surrounding cities are experiencing various supernatural events. I have personally experienced three of them, and Lin Xue has been exposed to more. The latter's current guess is that things in the human spiritual world are gradually invading reality.
, I originally thought that the biggest doubt was whether the human spiritual power was that strong, but now it seems that the human spiritual power is completely sufficient to produce this phenomenon. What should really be explored is why there is such a thing on the earth that can satisfy this phenomenon.
conditions for a phenomenon.
Ghosts in the world of Azeroth are a common phenomenon, because there is a magic network in that world, and that world has a high degree of recognition of supernatural phenomena. This second point is very important. In a world where everyone believes in ghosts,
Ghosts are more likely to appear. But the opposite is true on Earth. This planet does not have an orderly supernatural power system, nor is there an atmosphere for supernatural things to occur. So what causes supernatural events to occur under such circumstances?
Anweina sat quietly next to her, and wisely adjusted her body to a low-brightness natural light state, so that I could think about things with peace of mind, even though I wanted to complain about this girl's behavior of adjusting her own brightness while holding a lumen meter to measure back and forth.
, I still held back and remained silent.
After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. I was still confused as to how a group of human beings living in an atheistic environment could unconsciously produce spiritual hallucinations, but I seemed to have figured out another thing.
Why do all the supernatural events just avoid the sight of the agents we sent out and Lin Xue?
At first, we took this matter too seriously. We always thought that the unidentified "enemy" had power far beyond the empire's intelligence department. 'He' could even reversely perceive a prophet's prophecy about himself, but the truth is
The situation may be so simple that it makes people laugh or cry: because the source of those supernatural events is too weak!
If the source of all supernatural events is the subconscious of ordinary people (for now, let’s call this subconscious from ordinary people the source), then these supernatural events are very easy to be interrupted when they occur, and anything beyond the source of their occurrence
Psychic power can overwrite this channeling process, just like a stronger interference signal will overwrite the normal signal. And any agent we send out has stronger mental power than ordinary people on earth, and they are even more powerful when performing tasks.
A lot of detection equipment will be used, and what a scale of energy interference it will be - countless supernatural events that might have happened were actually suffocated to death in the mother's womb!
As for the vision of a certain prophet lady, let alone it. Even if she spreads her power to observe the entire city, her mental strength is enough to kill every haunting incident. Tonight's ghost domain is also an example: more than ten
The ghost realm created by human beings at the cost of deep coma was instantly wiped out after my mental power was slightly released. This was still the materialization of the spiritual power that had already been formed. If the ghost realm was happening at the moment, I am afraid that Lin Xue would not be able to see it.
It's enough to destroy it.
As for the supernatural events that have "finished happening", that is, psychic objects like porcelain dolls, they may have appeared in the real world and no longer require human mental support, but are not affected by this.
Sorting out these things can be considered a bit of a gain. Looking at the clock on the wall, it is already past four o'clock. Anweina will start working again at this time, but she still cares about me first: "Master, why don't you take a rest?
Is it really okay?”
"It's okay. You don't know my physique yet. It's okay if I don't sleep."
"That's not what you mean," the little maid came up with concern, "Please go up and see the little master of the mercury lamp, she is probably still waiting at this time!"
