"Strange perception is also called supernatural perception... or inspiration. It is not like the sanity value that can be realized in a stage. It is just a concept, so we usually only describe it roughly."
"The higher the inspiration, the easier it is for people to discover the truth hidden under reality, such as the weirdness around them. The good news is that they can have a certain degree of perception without using homologous objects, but the bad news is that they are more likely to be invaded by weirdness.
dye."
Lu Li does not think that his inspiration is very high. He can rarely discover the strange things around him without touching the psychic gun: "Is it possible that inspiration is acquired, for example because of a decrease in sanity?"
Tesla looked thoughtful: "The possibility is very high. The decline in sanity will affect inspiration, and your sanity is indeed in the second stage."
"So I will extend the time for your regularization event to arrive. During this time, you can have a good rest and relax, and try to restore your sanity as much as possible."
Lu Li was asked about the details of his sanity value. The information he has received so far about his sanity value is roughly the same, but there is a key contradiction: whether his sanity value can be restored.
Lu Li learned from Hades and night watchman Joel that the decrease in sanity was irreversible. And after contacting the investigator, a few words revealed that sanity could be restored.
Lu Li needed to know accurate and true information.
"In fact, we usually divide the reduction of sanity value into two types, the normal reduction of sanity value and the reduction of infected sanity value. The former is caused by emotions, and the latter is caused by weirdness."
The first type of sanity value is close to the literal sanity value, so it can also be said to be the mood value. It is linked to people's emotions and environment. Emotions such as sadness, gloom, pain, darkness, terror, loneliness and other environments will all reduce the sanity value.
, various phobias are also included.
This decline can be restored by relatively positive emotions and environments. For example, emotions such as warmth, happiness, love, etc., and environments such as bright, lively, and noisy.
This kind of recoverable sanity value will not be called a special name, it is called sanity value.
The first type of sanity value will be irreversibly reduced only in one situation: the person concerned is violently and continuously immersed in negative emotions and environment.
For example, all family members die suddenly, or family members die one by one.
This will permanently reduce the person's sanity value, or the threshold of sanity value. For example, from the original full sanity value of 100 to 90, or 80. Even if it recovers later, it can only return to 90 or 80.
To put it in a simpler and easier-to-understand way of describing it: if a person is in negative emotions for a long time or suddenly suffers unbearable great pain, even if that person recovers, it will be difficult for him to be as cheerful as before.
Except this person is an indifferent person.
So at this point, the first type of decrease in sanity points varies from person to person. A person with photophobia may have sanity points continue to decrease due to exposure to the sun, and a mentally ill person may have sanity points decrease due to laughing out loud after the tragic death of a family member.
No change.
The second type of sanity value is treated equally.
Regardless of whether you are male or female, old or young, rich or poor, noble or beggar, exorcist or slayer, as long as you come into contact with it, your sanity will be irreversibly lowered.
It's often called true sanity, or otherworldly infestation.
"It's a bit absolute to say this, but unfortunately, we have not found a way to restore the true sanity value." Tesla sighed and said, because of the true sanity value, how many outstanding investigators have been forced to retire and become destitute.
Madness——
Tesla's words suddenly stopped. He realized something, and his eyes behind the lenses looked at Lu Li across the table in surprise.
Lu Li was calm and collected, and no emotion could affect his heart or expression. Neither happiness nor fear had ever appeared on this man.
And this also means that the sanity value he has lowered so far...
All are real sanity values.
Crunch——
The sound of the wooden chair moving back quickly sounded and then stopped. The cane Tesla picked up was held by Lu Li.
The delicate silver chain hanging down from the monocle swayed, and Tesla quickly said: "Your current situation is very dangerous. Most investigators are already preparing to retire when you are in this situation."
Lu Li looked at Tesla, his dark eyes as deep as a ghost story: "You also told about most of the investigators."
"The few that are left are dead or crazy!"
"I'm not going crazy."
"But your sanity will be reduced."
"I will stop immediately when I think it is dangerous."
"..."
Tesla and Lu Li looked at each other, their striking black eyes filled with calm as always.
This is not the look of a person who has made a crazy decision.
"This is not in line with your character." Tesla slowly put down his cane, and Lu Li's palm also loosened. "What drives you to insist on joining the investigators and dealing with weirdness even if your sanity is reduced..."
"A true understanding of the world, and money."
In the distance, one of the wooden doors opened, and a tall figure leaned out half of his body: "You seem to be having a dispute. Do you need my help to ease the atmosphere?"
"Go away big guy," Tesla said angrily.
"All right."
Tristan retreated behind the door again.
Tesla sat back in the wooden chair and smoothed out his dress that had become wrinkled from standing up in excitement.
"I don't agree..."
He looked at Lu Li with tiredness and some confusion in his eyes.
"But I can't seem to change your mind."
…
"I don't agree either!"
Anna slapped the dining table hard, but there was no sound.
After Lu Li returned to the detective agency and told Anna about today's experience and decision, she was even more excited than Tesla.
"reason."
Lu Li took a can of cane sugar from the kitchen and walked out. He sat behind the desk and poured some sugar into the milk with a spoon.
The milk was a jug that Tesla asked alliance personnel to prepare for Lu Li. It wasn't a lot, but it was just enough for Lu Li to drink it before it went rancid.
"It's just...it's just too dangerous!"
Anxious Anna couldn't find a suitable reason to refute for a while.
"I will stop in time when I think it is dangerous." Lu Li said this again.
Just as Anna was about to defend herself, there was a knock on the door.
The postman delivered today's newspaper that Lu Li ordered.
Anna hid her figure while Lu Li opened the door and took the newspaper.
"Wait a mininute."
Lu Li stopped the postman who was about to leave.
"I have a letter to write, can you send it for me?"
The postman pulled out an envelope from the dark green linen satchel and said with white-gloved hands, "No problem, sir, where do you want to send it? The current fee for neighboring counties is 5 cents for stamps, and for other counties it is 10 cents for stamps, but it does not go out.
Principality of London Peninsula.”
"Alenbedshire."
After Lu Li returned to his desk, he picked up a pen and wrote the recipient's name on the envelope.
