The alien space itself was not very strong and fell apart due to the loss of energy control. The dark corridors and the gloomy classrooms with gusts of cold wind turned into pieces like broken glass, and the scene around everyone changed back to the rooftop. At the same time as it appeared, those abnormal things quickly took shape in the air.
That is, the broken corridors and classrooms did not dissipate with the wind after being turned into fragments, but twisted and mixed together, and quickly formed new things: a utility knife several meters high, a huge compasses, a burning giant book, There are black ghosts and huge human heads rolling on the ground and continuously shedding blood. These images are made up of the fragments of the corridor. It looks like a mosaic of shredded newspapers wrapped in colorful colors. A nearly four-meter-long The compass passed by me, leaving scratches on the concrete floor of the roof that almost penetrated the ground, indicating that although these things come from illusion, they have the power to destroy reality.
Especially the crying and howling giant head with horrible appearance and disgusting appearance. I don’t know what kind of horror story this is, but its appearance of rolling and pus not only destroys the real space, but also destroys us. Everyone's mood—even the Skeleton Mage couldn't bear its disgust, and waved his staff to go to the barbecue.
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 belonging to the Salvation Army began to release dense bone The rain of spears and shadow arrows tore these weird things into shreds. The long sword in the hands of the death knight was flying, and cutting ghosts was like cutting melons and vegetables. Reimu and the three of them had been useless before, and finally found it at this time. I found a channel to vent, and started to spread the barrage, and I still had to tightly hold the big horn on the head of the watermelon next to me, no matter how the other party protested, I didn’t dare to let go: I’m really afraid that this powerful guy will tear down the building .
It seemed to be a huge force, but it was actually an easy battle in which a few crushed the majority. In just half a minute, as the huge head with unexpectedly tenacious vitality turned into a jelly covering an area of 20 square meters with a shallow cold snort, All illusions finally disappeared.
The wreckage all over the ground turned into black smoke and drifted with the wind, and there was no rebirth.
"It's done." Lin Xue patted Qianqian on the shoulder, signaling the latter to release her abilities. Immediately, the only remaining classroom wreckage 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 lacked energy, but after a few flashes, they disappeared.
A dozen male and female students in school uniforms were lying there unconsciously. Not far from them were flashlights that had long been extinguished and some scattered snack packages.
I didn't expect us to be so close to them. It seems that the ghost domain just now interfered with everyone's perception—of course, the lack of release of mental power is also one of the reasons.
"In the middle of the night, I climbed to the top of the teaching building where people died to tell ghost stories. The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds," Lin Xue muttered and walked forward, trying to breathe under a student's nose, "Finally alive."
As early as when we destroyed the ghost domain, the response personnel of the ability group were already on standby below. After Lin Xue sent the signal that the operation was over, someone immediately came up to rescue these students. At this time, I finally had the opportunity to ask What is Xue Lin's situation? She obviously knows more than me, but this girl just likes to tease people's appetites.
"Because the previous ones were just guesses. I never tell others the information I'm not sure about, because I'm afraid of interfering with other people's judgments." On the way back, Lin Xue explained to me with a happy expression on her face, "Those were the students who disappeared many days ago and were attending the holiday class. They were all boarding students. The surveillance in the school showed that they were all walking towards the teaching building of the junior high school, and then they didn't come back. The school couldn't bear it. Less fuss. On the third day after the disappearance, the unlucky teacher discovered the ghost domain, so I connected the two things together. I have checked several times in this school, and traced back to what happened in the teaching building of the junior high school. It was finally determined that those students disappeared after they decided to go to the rooftop to hold a ghost story meeting at night. This building once had two teachers and a student die of a heart attack in the same classroom, so many people It's rumored that there are evil spirits lurking here, maybe that's why those bad boys do all these things. You know, the holiday class is sometimes stricter than normal, they can't get out of the school, and nothing else To do things, besides hiding in the dormitory and surfing the Internet, there are all kinds of nonsense left."
I looked at Qianqian and smiled, and the two of them remembered the experience of coming back in the middle of the night in this school and turning on the lights to create haunted rumors.
"So you're sure those students are hiding in the haunted junior high 'seventh floor'?"
"It's not certain, it's just a guess." Lin Xue shook her finger at me. "First, our people have searched the entire school, and we really didn't find those students. Of course, it is the most likely to hide people. In fact, after summarizing so many supernatural events, I have already discovered some patterns, and now I have seen the scene of the supernatural events in this place... Well, especially those classrooms and compass books. , I am even more convinced... The so-called supernatural events are probably born from the heart."
Qianqian and I expressed the hope that Lin Xue could talk to us in Chinese.
The eldest lady gave the two guys who didn't want to use their brains a look, but she was in a good mood and patiently explained: "Simply speaking, the nightmare has come true. Remember the rules I said before, all Most of the haunted events happened in places where people gathered, and similar supernatural phenomena never occurred in no-man’s land, which shows that their occurrence is related to people. Then there is a rule for all the supernatural objects associated with the haunted events, that is Although they can survive independently after they are produced, at the moment of production, there must be someone beside them, such as the palm-sized Sadako and the pair of porcelain dolls, they were all produced when someone was around, and then despite Without that person, they can exist independently. And this large-scale ghost domain also confirmed this rule: it is not so much that the dozen or so students are trapped in the ghost domain, it is better to say that the ghost domain is beside the missing students It was born, and its form is also very interesting: large classrooms, mountains of textbooks, compasses, blood-red formulas, horror corridors and ghost images that are popular among students similar to the "unbelievable campus" atmosphere, these are the most frequently encountered by students , the most direct thing that brings them psychological pressure.”
"In other words, has the fear in my heart become a reality?"
Yuyuko, who had been quietly sitting in the back row of Seven Hundred Billion and listening to our conversation, suddenly spoke.
Although the plan to lead Youyouzi out to catch ghosts was useless, the other party was quite familiar with this aspect, and she explained the mystery in one sentence.
"It should be like this. To put it more succinctly, things come from the heart," Xue Lin nodded. "Things that people fear in the spiritual world appear in the real world. Although it sounds unbelievable, but..."
"I should have brought Hong here," I looked up at the sky, "to make that guy fully realize the horror of Chinese copycats: his whole life has been copied by a bunch of uncles, aunts and little kids."
Should it be said that copycats save the world? Such a brutal mass-produced fantasy is realized—I guess Heroic Wei Gongshirou-kun will definitely be deeply impressed after seeing the cruel pseudo-inherent enchantment-the second half of the third semester of junior high school. Touched, maybe one day I can see him like Hercules who was saddened by a popsicle a few days ago, looking at the class schedule of No. 2 City Middle School and crying.
"This is different... Forget it, say what you want," Lin Xue gave me a sideways glance, "Anyway, it is true that things in the human spiritual world are gradually becoming reality, and this incident has also proved that I am alone. Conjecture: The number of participants determines the scale of spiritual realization, and it is strengthened geometrically. One person can only create some supernatural items, at most one haunted room, but a group of people can create a whole floor of ghost domain, And it contains countless horror scenes. Of course, the price is quite high, they almost died in it... "
I have already understood what Lin Xue meant, but there is still one thing I don't quite understand: "You said that the 'fear' in the subconscious of human beings has become a reality, so how does the uncle who sells porcelain dolls explain it? He is not afraid at all. It looks like a ghost, that kind of cruel guy."
"But his wife is afraid." The eldest lady patted my head, "If my hypothesis is true, those two porcelain dolls are actually 'fantasy' made by that wonderful uncle's wife, and the uncle is just a handler. I'm going back to reorganize the parties in those cases, and then target their social circles... Ah, it's time to get off."
I parked the 700 billion on the side of the road, smiled and said to Lin Xue: "You don't come home until two or three o'clock in the evening after performing a mission, don't your parents ever doubt it?"
The eldest lady was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Since I was a child, I can't remember being able to be with my parents after dinner. Living in a home like a giant, there are many ways to make myself 'disappear' , not to mention grandpa helping to cover. Well, speaking of which, my dad is really very angry recently—Mu Mu, when my family doesn’t want me anymore, I’ll spend a long time with you.”
I wanted to say something, but in the end I still showed a faint smile like the other party: "It seems that you don't come to eat all day now. Go back and have a good rest, and see if the students wake up tomorrow, maybe everything will come to light .”
The action this evening caused us to return home after three o'clock in the morning, and the house was already quiet. After sending the yawning Qianqian back to the room, and at the same time paying a lot of promises to stuff Reimu, the guy who made trouble if he couldn't help, back to the shadow city, I came to the large cabinet in the living room.
An Weina usually doesn't need to sleep, but she will take a rest in the dead of night, just above the cabinet in the living room. I don't know how to describe this, in fact, the girl built a crow's nest on top of the cabinet, and the crow-ghost-holy trinity is really raising herself as a bird now.
With a light knock on the cabinet, the big black crow fluttered down and turned into her own pretty little maid in the shining of the holy light. An Weina raised her skirt in a hurry to salute: "Ah, master, you are back An Weina failed to greet her immediately this time, what a failure."
"Don't worry, keep your voice down, don't wake up other people." I let the ghost sit down next to me, and since it's already this time, I simply won't sleep today, "An Wei Na, there is something I want to ask you , about ghosts and stuff. Do you remember how you became like this?"
An Weina didn't know what I wanted to say, but she nodded anyway. The experience of becoming a ghost is definitely the most unforgettable in her life, including before and after death, although it was not a pleasant memory, but now everything has passed, and she can recall those times calmly.
"Ghost, it should be the process of mental power becoming a reality?" I looked at Anveena's body. Although she is a ghost, she can make herself appear in a physical state. In that state, apart from the very low body temperature, Besides, she is exactly the same as ordinary girls, um, soft, ahem...
"Well, it's a bit similar. The psychics of Azeroth explain the phenomenon of ghosts. 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. It's a process of stabilization, but in the final analysis, it is the spiritual power that gradually becomes a 'real' existence that can resonate with the outside world after leaving the body. I didn't know this knowledge before, this is what Lady Cirvanas told me when she came. Anveena's."
"So it takes a lot of power to become a ghost?" I organized my words to make my question as clear as possible, "Or something else, does it need a lot of power to transfer from the spiritual world to the real world? "
"It doesn't take much power to become a ghost. Did the master forget? An Wei Na was just an ordinary girl before she was alive. She lived in that small country place, and she didn't even meet a real magician a few times. Become 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 only 'appearance' is enough, it is also very easy when the conditions are met, like arcane magic Small tricks like illusions can make things in the spiritual world appear in the real world. It’s just that this kind of thing is still false in the final analysis, or it can’t last long, or it’s easy to destroy, or you can see the difference from real objects at a glance.”
Listening to An Weena talking about this knowledge, I gradually showed a surprised expression: "So you are so knowledgeable? This knowledge should not be a must-have knowledge in the maid's code, right?"
I absolutely do not believe that the nobles in Azeroth are so cruel that every maid raised in the family has reached the level of graduation from Dalaran!
The ghost maid just bowed her head slightly when she heard the words, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Master often goes out to fight, so I found some books about the world of Azeroth to read. Because my family was poor, although I could read, I didn't read it. How many books have you read? And when the master is away, I am always a bit lonely, so I need to find something to do."
The little maid said, showing a shy look on her face, as if admitting that I am afraid of being lonely is a shameful thing, I stretched out my hand and rubbed the other's smooth flaxen hair, thinking in my heart.
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 items, but just to make them appear in the real world, the power required is not strong, it can even be said that no power is needed at all, any ordinary person can do it arrive.
According to the data we have collected, ordinary humans in the Azeroth world are almost as strong as people on Earth in terms of spiritual strength, and it doesn’t stand out because the physical fitness of people in that world is generally broken. The "very easy" also applies to earthlings.
Now various supernatural events have erupted in the city and several surrounding cities. I have personally experienced three of them, and Lin Xue has been in contact with 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 spiritual power of human beings is that strong, but now it seems that the spiritual power of human beings is completely sufficient to produce this phenomenon. condition of the phenomenon.
Ghosts in the world of Azeroth are a common phenomenon, because there is a magic net 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 on the earth, it is just the opposite. This planet has no orderly supernatural power system, and there is no atmosphere for supernatural things to produce. So what makes supernatural events happen under such circumstances
An Weina sat quietly beside her, and sensibly adjusted her body to a low-brightness natural light state, allowing me to think about things at ease, although I really wanted to complain about this girl's behavior of measuring back and forth with a lumen meter while adjusting her brightness , I still refrained from making a sound.
After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. I was still confused about how a group of human beings living in an atheistic environment unconsciously produced spiritual illusions, but I seemed to want to understand another thing.
Why did all the supernatural events just escape the sight of our agents and Xue Lin
At the beginning, we thought this matter too seriously, and always thought that the unidentified "enemy" had power far beyond the intelligence department of the empire, and 'he' could even reversely perceive a prophet's prophecy to himself, but the real The situation is probably so simple that it makes people laugh: because the source of those supernatural events is too weak!
If the source of all supernatural events is the subconsciousness of ordinary people (let’s temporarily call this subconscious from ordinary people the source of occurrence), then these supernatural events are very easy to be interrupted when they occur. Psychic power can override this psychic process, just as stronger interference signals can override normal signals. And any agent we send out has stronger spiritual power than ordinary people on earth, and they will use a lot of detection equipment when performing tasks. What kind of energy interference will it be—countless supernatural events that could have happened In fact, he was suffocated to death in the womb!
As for the sight of a certain Miss Prophet, let alone, even if she spreads her power to observe the entire city, her mental strength is enough to strangle every haunting event. The ghost domain tonight is also an example: the ghost domain created by more than a dozen human beings at the cost of a deep coma disappeared in an instant after my mental power was released slightly. At the moment when the domain is happening, Lin Xue's sight is probably enough to destroy it.
As for the supernatural events that have "happened", that is, psychic items like porcelain dolls, they may have appeared in the real world and no longer need the support of human spiritual power, but they are not affected by this.
Straightening out these things is a bit rewarding. Looking at the clock on the wall, it's already past four o'clock. An Weina will start working again at this time, but she still cares about me first: "Master, don't take a break Is it really okay?"
"It's okay, you don't know my physique, it's okay if I don't sleep."
"That's not what it means," the little maid approached with concern, "Go up and see the little master of Mercury Lamp, she's probably still waiting!"
Me: "...you should have warned this earlier!!" RO
