6. Patients

Use the rumored evil spirit as a tool.

The first generation of demon slayers are legendary beings that are as terrifying and powerful as evil spirits in every sense of the word.

After several generations of improvements, the sanity value test has been divided into two forms: a written test and a physical test. The former assesses mental status and only requires sitting at a table to answer some questions and then wait for evaluation. The latter is to determine the sanity value threshold and requires contact

Those weird ones.

Currently, some of the existing demon slayer organizations mostly adopt the former. They are relatively loose and only need to determine whether the mental state of the joiner is normal.

The latter is common in well-organized organizations, such as night watchmen.

"You already know what sanity points are used for. Next is the second thing I want to say: why sanity points are needed."

The original demon slayer suffered a lot from dealing with the weirdness of the world, even though Einstein had already proposed the theory of sanity value in the early days.

Because no one knows what exactly affects them, most events are resolved as follows: the slayer rushes to a weird location, the slayer solves the weirdness, and the slayer goes crazy.

And gradually, they began to know that those weird things were like contagious sources, and getting too close to them would drive them crazy. They began to know that when whispers started to vaguely ring in their ears, they were close to the critical point of collapse. They began to know that weird things

It is different from weird. It is a branch extending from an evil ancient tree that exudes a malicious atmosphere.

It was an era where mist was dispelled step by step by piling up life.

This kind of exploration continued until Einstein perfected the theory of sanity value and successfully produced a sanity value test.

Demon slayers can finally have a relatively systematic understanding of their own physical conditions and rest or retire - this will undoubtedly keep the flame of the slayer burning.

But in essence, the human living environment has not improved as a result - the demon slayers still have not found a real way to deal with these endless weirdness.

The sanity value will still decrease after contact with weirdness, and this decrease is almost irreversible. A slayer whose sanity value reaches the critical point needs to rest for a long time.

They have nothing to do with your emotions - no matter who you are or your personality, they treat everyone the same.

This is very disappointing.

When a lone boat sailed on the sea, the long-suffering survivor finally had a torch that could dispel the fog around him. He raised the torch high, only to realize that the tentacle he had been fighting with all his strength was just a huge outline.

One of them, there are thousands more hidden around it.

The rest of the story has nothing to do with sanity, and Joel continues telling it just to make the end of the popular science less abrupt.

The third-generation slayer organization split and was divided into slayers and exorcists. They were scattered to establish their own organizations or to be alone. The slayers dealt with strange events and ensured the stability of the region. The exorcists dealt with ghost incidents and protected ordinary people.

People are safe.

Joel stared at Lu Li: "This is why there is such a saying, the more you know, the faster you will die."

"What will happen if the sanity value decreases?" Lu Li asked immediately, as if he had already prepared the question.

"It starts with auditory hallucinations. When whispers start to echo in your ears, you have to pay attention. You are approaching the critical point. Then comes hallucinations. You will see some projections from the other world, even if you don't have the illusion of breaking the candle.

Observe them. Need me to explain the otherworld and delirium... Oh, it seems you know, very good. Then you become more serious, and you will find that the projections of the otherworld can detect you and start to move towards your position.

move--"

Joel stopped talking. The fear deep in his eyes caused a slight fluctuation in his sanity, but he continued. "Most people go crazy at this stage. What will happen next seems to be

No one knows, just like no one knows what exists thousands of meters deep in the ocean."

Lu Li was thoughtful.

The sanity value mentioned by Joel has little to do with the door, but it is consistent with the psychic gun to some extent.

The reduction in sanity is completely consistent with the side effects of the psychic gun.

So when Lu Li took off the holster from his waist and put it on the table, Joel's eyes showed admiration: "Yes, the standard equipment of exorcists and slayers; a homologue with weird properties - it

It will also lower your sanity."

Lu Li was ahead of Hades on this point. Hades only knew that being exposed to the flintlock gun for a long time would cause him to fall into the other world, but he didn't know why he would fall into it.

Lu Li took back his flintlock gun and said, "Where am I going to test my sanity?"

"Go find the Exorcists, or join the Night's Watch."

Joel had good senses about Lu Li, which was why he said so much. But Joel didn't want to waste any more time. He left his seat, walked to the door, opened the office door, and called Deputy Sheriff Valentine.

The two whispered something at the door, then turned to look at Lu Li in the office: "Let's go and see the victims."

The three of them had no choice but to come inside the police station. An iron door leading to the basement was open.

Joel walked down the steps and found Valentine still following behind. He tilted his head and asked strangely: "You want to go down with us too?"

The fat on Valentine's face trembled, as if this decision was very difficult for him: "They are my subordinates, I can't ignore them."

"Then come with me." Joel nodded, took the gas lamp handed to him by the policeman at the iron gate, and continued down.

Although the police station has electricity, it does not mean that it can be used at will, especially in the basement where prisoners are held.

As the three of them walked down the steps, wailing sounds echoed, faintly reaching their ears from the depths of the damp corridor.

"Try not to communicate with them, and don't listen carefully to their nonsense. It will affect your sanity." Joel remembered something and reminded the two of them without looking back.

"Why are you putting it here?" Lu Li asked.

Joel sighed: "We don't want to either, but this place is hidden enough and closed enough."

After walking up the last step, countless hysterical roars crowded together and echoed in the small space, making it feel like being in hell.

These patients screamed tirelessly, with veins all over their foreheads and distorted faces.

Joel looked at the figures who were fixed on the stretcher behind the iron bars, and turned his head to glance at Valentine, who looked pale and regretted following him, with a hint of ridicule: "This is what we have to face all the time. Otherwise, you think

Why do I, an ordinary member of the Night Watch, have a higher status than you?"

He looked at Lu Li again: "You are very calm, and most importantly, very smart. Because you know what you need to know and what you need to avoid. Are you interested in joining us?"

"No……"

The sound stopped. Lu Li's eyes passed through the iron bars and fell on a patient who was struggling like a fish on the beach.

Perhaps out of sympathy, or perhaps wanting to leave a way out for himself who was being targeted, Lu Li changed his words.

"Not yet."
