A dark oak branch the length of a palm was placed on the table.
The last sanity test was a leaf, this time it was a branch.
Lu Li vaguely guessed the shape of the evil spirit: "Is this part of the evil spirit that can manifest the sanity value?"
An indescribable and obscure aura emanated from the branches, and its appearance was somewhat familiar to Lu Li.
Hades seems to have a branch, but the breath on it is almost exhausted, and Hades only uses the branches as ordinary cognate parts: gnawing.
"Yes, it's called the Tree of the Soul. The ritual is to absorb the words of those who come into contact around it and lift the veil of the mind of the contactee. But the human mind is too fragile to bear its breath, and often suffers from talking around its body.
Going crazy. It wasn’t until the first generation of demon slayers, Isaac Einstein, began to study and analyze evil spirits, testing them with the branches and leaves of the tree of the mind, and finally found a way to limit the sanity value.”
The knowledge that Hades would charge thousands of shillings was downplayed by Tesla.
"Evil spirits have real bodies?" Lu Li asked. Tesla's words were somewhat different from what Lu Li knew.
[Evil spirits do not have entities. To a certain extent, they are everywhere, rather than having entities like resentful spirits... It is not that they have no entities. It is too specific for me to tell you——]
The words of the seeker come to mind.
"Trees must have roots, and water must have a source." Tesla chuckled and replied: "But the body and consciousness of most evil spirits are not together. Their consciousness comes and possesses them everywhere, and no one knows what their body is.
Wherever it is, that’s why it’s so difficult for us to completely get rid of the evil spirits.”
"It's really pessimistic to hear such words from a professional like you." Old Pique, who was holding his arms beside him, snorted. "We have to face reality." Truss showed his helplessness and continued to talk to Lu Li.
: "So there are very few evil spirits with the consciousness of the Tree of Mind. If all evil spirits were like this, we would probably be out of a job."
"So there are more and more evil spirits?"
Lu Li can always capture some key information from his words.
Teslan did not answer immediately. As if it was a habitual action, he turned the ring on his index finger and slowly said: "Old Pique told me about your answer when testing the sanity value. I want to know why you have such an idea.
?Pessimistic and vigilant.”
Lu Li did not continue to answer, and Terrance continued to speak.
"When I was your age, I was not afraid of anything. I was positive and not afraid of anything. At that time, even if an evil god appeared in front of me, I would dare to swing it with a stick. But you were as cautious as me.
I know an old guy who has retired from being an investigator because of his age. He is one of the few men in the organization who managed to survive until retirement."
Terrance stared at Lu Li, waiting for his answer.
The old man next to him stood up and left his seat, coughed and said, "Go on, I'm going to the toilet. I always pee more as I get older."
"If you don't come back in five minutes, I will ask Pique to go to the toilet to get you." Terrance waved his hand at him.
Waiting for Old Pique to leave, Lu Li looked away from the crowd at the tables around him.
"From what I saw."
he replied.
"The world is becoming unlivable at a speed that is visible to the naked eye."
Terrance puzzled: "You became an exorcist not long ago. According to our investigation, you came to Belfast a month ago and became an exorcist a few days later. Well... Hades is the guide.
Man, I know him. He is an exorcist with a bad reputation. He is willing to do anything as long as he has money. This makes him a very suitable guide."
"So as a new exorcist, how many supernatural events have you experienced in this month? To be honest, your heart is very firm. I don't think one month is enough to make a person with a firm heart become so pessimistic."
So Lu Li told all his experiences after coming to this world: "Dark night disaster, a dozen ghosts, two resentful spirits, two evil spirits, one may be an evil spirit, fighting with the hurricane in the Shadow Swamp
A day spent in the middle of the day, and two things that are not suitable to be mentioned now.”
"It sounds really..." What Lu Li said surprised Tesla. "It's quite unlucky."
"But maybe what you have experienced is the original true appearance of this world? Before this, you were an ordinary person, and there was a high chance that you would not have access to these things."
"If it had always been like this, human civilization might not have been able to develop to this level." Lu Li shook his head. Tesla's statement sounded reasonable, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny. "The Night Disaster appeared a few months ago, and the hurricane was raging.
The traces of the aftermath have not disappeared from here.”
"Well, I thought I could fool you."
Unexpectedly, Tesla frankly admitted Lu Li's point of view: "In fact, our world is indeed becoming... dangerous."
"Is it bad?"
"It's not bad, it's not very good either." Like Lu Li, Terence remained calm about this desperate topic. He chuckled and said, "But this way, what we do is more meaningful, isn't it?"
Confirming his inner guess, Lu Li stopped talking about this topic and instead asked, "Why don't we start the sanity test?"
"It's already underway." Terrance pointed to the dark branches on the table. "We can just communicate around the branches of the tree of the soul."
"The sanity test is said to be a test. In fact, those questions are used to evaluate the tester's personality and examine whether the tester is suitable to join the three major organizations. If you join the investigator, the sanity test questions after each return from exploration will be based on
In your heart, you know that a low sanity value can cause a drastic change in a person's temperament."
This explains why in the first sanity test, the questions were like psychological test questions.
"What if you lie?" Lu Li asked.
"Nothing will happen. The tree of the mind can tell the difference between truth and falsehood."
Terrance added: "I'm very optimistic about you, so if your answer satisfies me, even if your sanity is seriously in question, I will consider giving it a go."
Lu Li nodded: "Then continue."
Terrance's two mustaches swayed, showing a long-awaited smile: "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Just as Lu Li likes Terrance and knows everything about him, Terrance also likes Lu Li's character, which makes him see a little bit of himself.
Calm, calm, smart, and similar to himself...pessimistic.
Pessimism may make people cautious and timid. But at some point, its role can be combined with calmness and intelligence.
Pessimists tend to minimize their psychological expectations for an event, which means that when something terrible happens, they will be more prepared.
