"Can you be more specific?" Lu Li did not answer the question immediately.
This kind of information was exactly what Lu Li wanted to know.
"These things are not free." The old man noticed Lu Li's thirst for knowledge and chuckled, saying what only Hades could say.
"What do you want?" Lu Li asked calmly.
"I don't want anything, I just don't want to help others solve their problems." The old man showed a bad character.
"..." Lu Li looked at Old Pique.
"I don't know much." Compared with him, Old Pick, who has an equally weird personality, seems so friendly. "I can only tell you what I know. The evil spirit system is ghosts, resentful spirits, and evil spirits. They are human souls.
Or other souls. The evil god system is evil gods. They are born naturally or through sacrifices. The evil spirit system, uh... I forgot, they are too mysterious, and it is basically difficult to encounter them. The weird system is the same as the evil spirit system.
The most common existence. They generally have entities, which are some kind of living things or non-living things. Most of them have a bad appearance that can be seen at a glance, or a shape that is incomprehensible."
"Won't."
"What?" Old Pique was stunned.
Lu Li said: "The answer to the question just now."
Swamp Mother can correspond to the evil god, will the bloody tentacles and doors be weird...
"Okay, I'll continue." It took the elderly Piqué a few seconds to react. He glanced at the old man sitting sideways again and asked downwards: "Someone has given you a commission fee to ask you to
Will you agree to kill a living person for him?"
"Won't."
"Someone threatens you with the safety of your family and asks you to kill a living person for him. Will you agree?"
"Won't."
"Why?"
"I have no family."
"..." There was an eerie silence for a few seconds: "Your friend."
"Won't."
"Why is this?"
"I have no friends."
Old Pique pursed his lips, his wrinkled old face twitched, and continued: "What is your definition of human beings?"
Lu Li noticed that the question was gradually deviating: "This cannot be answered with yes or no."
"It doesn't matter, it's listening." Old Pique knocked on the table, indicating something.
Lu Li thought for a few seconds this time: "Having a sense of human identity."
The old man and Old Pique looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Old Pique sat up straighter: "Can you tell me more about it?"
"Here?"
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked around.
Residents talk loudly, and there is always a sense of unreality and contrast when talking about such topics in a shop that is as noisy as a tavern.
"Here."
Lu Li did not answer and continued to ask: "Can these questions determine the sanity data?"
"Everyone does it." Old Pique replied.
Lu Li noticed that he did not directly answer his question: "So?"
"No." The surprising words came out of Old Pique's mouth.
Before Lu Li could respond, Old Pick added: "But you can please the evil spirit and get its evaluation of you."
"evaluate?"
Lu Li felt like he was getting to know the evil spirit.
"It's the evil spirit that will manifest your sanity value."
Lu Li asked again: "What else?"
Old Pique paused and looked at Lu Li in surprise: "Did you see it?"
This sentence almost confirmed Lu Li's previous guess. He nodded: "Your problem tendencies are too obvious."
"We still need to find suitable members." The old man answered for Old Pique. His attitude was no longer casual, but he looked serious: "Boy, are you interested in joining us?"
"Who are you?" Lu Li asked.
"Demon Slayer Association, Night Watch, Investigator, Alliance, you can call us whatever you want."
This answer made Lu Li slightly startled.
But the truth is not the "three major organizations forming an alliance" as Lu Li imagined. Except for the investigators and the Night Watch who cooperate closely due to their official background, the Demon Slayer Association has always remained mysterious.
The old man is a member of the "Alliance", a peripheral organization born out of the three major organizations.
They travel between the three organizations, delivering information and resources to them, and providing help to the exorcists.
A auxiliary, loose organization focused on serving the three major organizations, it doesn't even have its own name.
But it's better than a loose exorcist.
The Sanity Testing Center, disguised as a laundry, is one of their achievements.
Lu Li looked at Old Pique questioningly. The old man was a member of the alliance, but what about old Pique?
Old Pique replied: "Don't think too much, I'm just an ordinary person."
The Alliance proactively contacts laundries, and then cooperates with laundries that are interested in cooperation - the laundries are not affiliated with the Alliance, but only provide a place for people to test their sanity.
The cooperation with Lao Pi Ke Laundry dates back to fifty or sixty years ago, when Lao Lao Pi Ke was still young.
"But why? Because of my answer?" Lu Li wanted to know the reason why the old man invited him.
The old man waved his hand: "The answer is not important, it is just fodder for the evil spirits. It is not that I am interested in you, but because you saw through the truth and got this invitation."
Sanity test questions are jointly provided by the Exorcist Association, Night Watch, and Investigators. They bury some loopholes in the questions to screen out exorcists who find loopholes but do not belong to the three major organizations.
Lu Li is the guy who found the loophole in the problem.
"Tell me your sanity first." Lu Li neither agreed nor refused.
"Can."
The old man took out a leaf from his pocket and placed it in front of Lu Li's desk.
The obscure aura in Ming Ming's perception suddenly became stronger as the leaves appeared. The next moment, the leaves turned yellow and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tear--
A tiny crack like a knife appeared on the dead leaf.
The old man explained: "The more cracks it has, the more holes you have in your psychology and the lower your sanity value."
Tear-tear-
A jaw-dropping scene occurred. The cracks on the dead leaves increased rapidly and spread all over the entire leaf in the blink of an eye. Just as a cold wind poured in from outside the door, the dead leaves that barely maintained their shape turned into a pile of debris and were blown away by the wind.
"What does this mean?" Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at the frowning old man.
The old man exhaled a breath and stared at Lu Li as if he had seen a ghost: "The test failed... Your sanity level is very low?"
"Maybe so."
"There is nothing I can do, I'm afraid there is only a more detailed test... I can apply for an opportunity for you to enter the three major organizations to test your sanity. Which organization are you more interested in?"
Lu Li was aware of his situation, and the broken leaves were unexpected but reasonable.
He didn't answer Old Pique's question immediately. He took out a flashlight and put it on the table: "Have you seen this before?"
The old man showed an expression even more surprised than when he saw dead leaves falling into pieces: "How could you have such a thing??"
"Given by someone else."
The old man showed a clear look and looked intently at the landing's exit.
"It seems that someone has already chosen it for you."
