Chapter 7 Thou shalt not look directly, thou shalt not speak, and thou shalt not resist

Ghosts......

Savoring the word repeatedly, Yue Zheng looked at Deputy Lieutenant Tiger and quietly waited for the following.

"Ghosts and gods are our collective term for those things. ”

In the dimly lit cell, Deputy Lieutenant Tiger's voice was differently low:

"They are a kind of existence that completely subverts the human imagination, there is no fixed image, no fixed name, and even does not exist in reality, but their very existence represents the evil, distortion, and madness that human beings cannot bear.

The horror of ghosts and gods is that they cannot be named, cannot be looked at, and cannot be resisted. The vast majority of human beings who encounter ghosts and gods will cause a collapse of their mental sanity for no reason, and even worse, it will cause physiological aberrations, making people alienate and deform into irrational crazy monsters. ”

Will you go crazy when you encounter it?

Yue Zheng's eyelids jumped, and he immediately thought of some myths of the earth in his previous life:

"In other words, these ghosts and gods will sneak into their sleep and attack humans, turning them into madmen and monsters?"

"Boy, you're thinking too much. If the ghosts and gods took the initiative to attack people, I am afraid that the people of the entire new country would have become crazy and monsters long ago. ”

Deputy Lieutenant Tiger laughed at himself and shook his head:

"It's not that ghosts and gods sneak into dreams to attack humans, but that humans encounter ghosts and gods in their sleep!"

"Dreams are like the deep sea, and the dreams produced by human beings in their sleep are the intersection of illusion and reality, and it is also an endless ocean, and ghosts and gods exist in the depths of the sea of illusory dreams. There are very few inspired human beings in this world, who will break through the deep dreams for some unknown reason in their sleep, fall into the deep sea of nightmares, and thus see ghosts and gods! And once they see ghosts and gods, human beings will have a spiritual breakdown without resistance and become crazy and monsters!"

"Almost all of the horrors caused by loss of control and mutation are simply because someone fell into the deep sea of dreams and saw those unspeakable beings. And we demon slayers mainly deal with these unfortunate people who were originally human, but were polluted into crazy monsters......"

That's how it is......

It's horrible and unreasonable......

Finally understood what had happened to his predecessor, and Yue Zheng's heart throbbed.

Thou shalt not look at it, nor shall it be named, nor shall it be resisted...... He really didn't expect that the so-called ghosts and gods in the mouth of Deputy Lieutenant Tiger were so terrifying, and the demons and monsters he originally envisioned were nothing compared to them!

He froze and thought of something:

"So, if the ghosts and gods are so terrifying, why don't they take the initiative to attack humans?

"I'm afraid no one can answer you. ”

Deputy Lieutenant Tiger sighed faintly:

"You know there's a bunch of little ants somewhere, and you're going to trample them to death? Maybe it's because of some limitations, maybe it's because humans aren't small enough to get their attention, but it's foolish to speculate on those terrible beings that are subversive to the human mind. ”

Yue Zheng was also speechless for a while.

Indeed, as Deputy Lieutenant Tiger said, in the face of such an unreasonable and grotesque existence, it is extremely ridiculous to use human cognition to judge the behavior pattern of the other party.

Just thinking of the indescribable, invisible, and irresistible terrifying nature of ghosts and gods, his heart was cold for a while, and his understanding of the strangeness and danger of this world was also raised to the top.

What disturbed him the most was that if he sank into the deep sea of dreams again and encountered these terrifying beings, what should he do to resist them?

Thinking of this, Yue Zheng continued to ask: "Deputy Lieutenant Tiger, since people who face the existence of ghosts and gods in the deep sea of dreams will go crazy, how did I escape the catastrophe?"

"That's where you're lucky, too. ”

Deputy Lieutenant Tiger pondered:

"I've consulted the internal files, in fact, there are cases like you that can get away with being polluted by ghosts and gods, but it's very rare, and the parties involved are basically demon slayer masters who have cultivated the breathing method to an extremely advanced level, under normal circumstances, you should not be spared.

The deeper the dream is in the sea, the more terrifying the hidden ghosts and gods become. I'm guessing you just fell into the shallow depths of the deep ocean and caught a glimpse of the ghosts and gods without confronting them directly, so you survived. ”

Is that so......

In fact, he was not spared, because the original owner was already dead......

Silently slandered in his heart, Yue Zheng said in his heart:

"In other words, are master-level demon slayers capable of resisting the pollution of ghosts and gods in the deep sea of dreams, and what level of breathing practice have they reached?"

"All I can say is that there is a precedent for that. Moreover, practicing the breathing method itself also has the effect of stabilizing the mind and reducing the probability of falling into the deep sea of dreams. ”

Looking at Yue Zheng's shining eyes, Deputy Lieutenant Tiger smiled:

"As for the Demon Slayer Master, they are already strong people who have entered the seventh stage, and I am still 108,000 miles away, so don't think about it for you, kid. ”

And the seventh paragraph?

The intermediate breathing method I upgraded to corresponds to the second stage of breathing, which does seem a bit far away......

After getting this information, Yue Zheng's mind spun rapidly.

According to the common sense memory of the predecessor, the practice of the breathing method is divided into ranks, and the three stages of the basic breathing method include the elementary, intermediate and high, which correspond to the first three realms of the breathing method, and there is indeed a distance of 108,000 miles from the master of demon extermination.

But as if thinking of something, Yue Zheng then asked with some confusion:

"And what about the Ghost Fang who escorted me here?"

"Devilfang, did you see him for real?"

Deputy Lieutenant Tiger raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and said in a low voice:

"You're mistaken, he didn't encounter a ghost in the deep sea of dreams. Rather, two years ago, when we were fighting a powerful mutant who was completely out of control and distorted, he was contaminated with a large amount of mutant blood, which led to the contamination and invasion of the power of the ghosts and gods. ”

Yue Zheng paused, not knowing what to say.

Regarding this point, there is also a memory of the predecessor, that is, in the face of anyone who is out of control or abnormal, try to avoid direct contact with the other party's blood, otherwise there is a risk of losing control.

Even a master like the Demon Slayer who was far beyond ordinary people was not spared, and he really couldn't imagine what kind of danger and pressure ordinary people would have to bear in the face of such a monster.

"Okay, that's all for the ghosts and gods, whether it's falling into the deep sea of dreams or seeing them is a very low probability, you don't need to worry about it, after all, it's useless to be afraid. ”

As if he didn't want to mention this matter, Deputy Lieutenant Tiger waved his hand:

"Boy, you should know how lucky you are by now, right? There is no doubt about the horror of ghosts and gods, no matter what, there are very few people like you who can still come to their senses after being polluted by ghosts and gods, and they deserve our attention. I asked directly, are you interested in joining our Demon Slayer Hall?"

Join the Demon Slayer ......

Yue Zheng, who was prepared, was not surprised, he came back to his senses and quickly weighed it, and asked calmly:

"Deputy Lieutenant Tiger, if I join the Demon Slaying Hall, what will I gain and what will I bear?"

"Very sober boy. ”

Deputy Lieutenant Tiger smiled, his eyes appreciative:

"The Demon Eradication Hall is subordinate to the Demon Eradication Association, and it is an important organ that is directly responsible to the Lord of the Kingdom. We are the guardians of the city in the night, and we have a great special right to act and mobilize all personnel if necessary. For individuals, after joining the Demon Slayer Hall, the official Demon Slayer's monthly salary is 200 silver dollars, and even the reserve has 100 silver dollars, which is far higher than the 30 silver dollars you have in the Night Watch. ”

"What's more, the breathing method is the most effective means to strengthen oneself and fight against pollution and mutation, and the Demon Exterminator Association has a huge reserve of cultivation resources, all kinds of high-level methods and schools after the basic breathing method is advanced, as well as a variety of secret techniques and killing moves, and even senior masters to guide the practice, which are all superior conditions that outsiders can't ask for, and only formal demon exterminators can enjoy. ”

A higher-level breathing method, a variety of secret techniques?

In an instant, Yue Zheng was attracted by the two points that Deputy Lieutenant Hu said.

In this world, he knows very well that money, honor, and power are just foreign things, and only his own strength is the basis for a better life. And for him, who has an auxiliary panel and can be upgraded with one click, these two things are undoubtedly more exciting.

"People are good at practicing in the public gate. Boy, although the mutation in your body is only slight, but you don't know when it will recur, your top priority is to do everything you can to raise to the advanced stage of the basic breathing method as soon as possible, otherwise once the mutation revives again, it will be a big trouble for you!

Yue Zheng was still thinking about it, and Deputy Lieutenant Tiger looked at him with burning eyes, and paused:

"Of course, with convenience and rights, there are also corresponding responsibilities and obligations. The responsibility of the demon slayer is to deal with all the horrors caused by the contamination of ghosts and gods in the area in charge, which also leads to us often facing all kinds of unknown dangers, and may even encounter misfortunes like ghost fangs. ”

I can tell you unequivocally that the death rate of demon slayers has always been not low, and in the last year alone, the mortality rate of our demon slayer in Huaran County has exceeded one-fifth, which is much higher than the night patrol team you used to stay in, and it can be said that it is a real high-risk profession. However, risks and opportunities always coexist, and the benefits of joining the Demon Slayer Hall are not the only one, so I suggest you think about it. ”

"Of course, when it comes to fate, you don't have to answer me right now. According to the rules, you will also need to stay in the observation room for three days, after which you will need to be fully examined again, and if there are no problems, the physical restrictions on you will be lifted, and you can tell me your options at that time. ”

"Thank you, Lieutenant Tiger, for answering so many questions for me, but I don't think I need to think about it for so long. ”

As soon as Deputy Lieutenant Hu's words fell, Yue Zheng raised his head and smiled, his eyes calm and determined:

"Rights and obligations are reciprocal, and that's fair. I choose to join the Demon Slayer Hall!"

In fact, almost when Deputy Lieutenant Tiger had just proposed it, Yue Zheng had already made a decision in his heart.

It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, this world is so grotesque and dangerous, the organization of the demon slayer undoubtedly has a very strong strength and heritage, and it also has many conditions that are very attractive to Yue Zheng, how can he retreat because of the slight danger that may exist with him?

On the contrary, the past life cannot be traced, and without knowing whether he has a chance to go back, he has already made up his mind to use all the ways he can use to strengthen himself, so as to better live in this dangerous world!

Obviously, he didn't expect Yue Zheng to be so decisive, and Deputy Lieutenant Hu's rough face was quite surprised.

He just looked at Yue Zheng like this, and then slowly showed an appreciative smile:

"Good!"
