"Two hundred years old...... Can a person live that long? ”

"Her ghostly relics, 'Crazy Wonderland' and 'March Rabbit Pocket Watch', can stop her time and age."

Andersen took two wallpaper knives and gave one to Su Qi.

"You'll have to help us unpack our luggage, the Tokyo branch of the Kuromon Club, which has just been rebuilt in the past few days."

"Reconstruction?"

Su Qiyou was listening carefully to what Hans Christian Andersen said.

"In the year the Fukushima incident broke out, the Tokyo branch of the Kuromon Club was wiped out in order to re-sink the 'Radiant Master' that had surfaced."

"Annihilation...... I got it right......"

"It's all dead, at the hands of ghosts and gods."

“……”

"After the collapse of the Tokyo branch, it was idle, and it was only recently that we were deployed to rebuild."

Andersen opened the cardboard box and looked at it, and pushed it to Su Qi and pointed it.

"These books are stacked on the shelves over there."

"What the hell is the Black Gate Club?"

Su Qi asked suspiciously while stacking books.

He thought it was just a club of superpowers, a mystical research organization, or something.

But now it seems that this is clearly not the case.

"The duty of the Black Gate is to maintain human order."

"Huh?"

Su Qi pondered, did the meaning of this be similar to the meaning of maintaining world peace?

"This ...... Not a safe thing to do, right? ”

Su Qi's heart suddenly felt a little empty.

Andersen suddenly told him that "the Tokyo branch in front of the Black Gate has fallen", which frightened him.

Do you still want to join this organization?

"Are you safe now? People who can see ghosts and spirits can't say that they are safe. ”

What Hans Christian Andersen said, Su Qi had nothing to refute.

That's right, this world is dangerous for him to see ghosts and gods, where can he talk about safety.

"The Black Gate was built with a mission."

Andersen said as he stuffed the book in his hand into the shelf and threw another notebook over.

"Let's start at the beginning, welcome to the circle of the mysterious world."

……

Su Qi flipped through the notes Hans Christian Andersen had given him.

Page 1, three words.

Inspiration, psionics, divinity.

Inspiration: The ability to recognize ghosts and spirits.

Psionic energy: The power possessed by ghosts and psionics.

Divine objects: that is, relics of ghosts and gods.

On the second page, there are still three words.

Idealism, Esoterism, Mysticism.

Idealism: The supernatural and indescribable existence of human thoughts, beliefs, natural phenomena, etc.

To put it simply, the Idealist represents ghosts and gods.

Esotericism: A person who communicates with idealists and believes in gods, so as to obtain the "spiritual energy" shared by ghosts and gods.

To put it simply, a psyker like the Witch Goddess River is called a Secret Person.

Mysticism: represents the acquisition of knowledge, cognition, divinity from the hidden, from the unnamed.

To put it simply, people like Su Qi and Hans Christian Andersen who have "inspiration" and can perceive ghosts and gods, but do not have "spiritual energy", are called mysteries.

"The Spiritual, the Secret, the Mystery......"

Su Qi looked at the contents of the note.

These are the three cornerstones that make up the "mysterious world".

"People like us are mysteries?"

"That's right."

Andersen nodded.

Su Qi continued to flip back.

The next page reads: The Deep Sea.

……

The mystery of the world is that man is in the deep sea.

The deeper you sink.

You can get a glimpse of the mysteries of the world.

Until lost.

……

Su Qi immediately understood what he was talking about, he would sink into the deep sea every night in his dreams.

The deeper he sank, the more ghosts and gods he encountered.

"Everyone has their own deep sea."

Hans Christian Andersen said.

"The deep sea is inspiration, and the deeper it sinks, the stronger the inspiration and the stronger the ability to see ghosts."

……

Su Qi looked through his notes, and within the occult system, deep-sea research was divided into levels.

illumination layer, sea surface up to 100 meters.

Low-light layer, 100 m to 500 m.

Matte layer, 500 to 2 km.

Abyssal layer, 2 km to 20,000 m.

Moho layer, 20,000 to 50,000 meters.

Gutenberg layer, 50,000 to 3,000,000 meters.

The core layer, the Gutenberg layer downwards.

……

That's a lot of depth.

Su Qi calculated his depth.

5 km, in the abyssal layer.

And, according to my own sinking speed without brakes, it is estimated that it will not be long......

Up to one month.

I may be about to sink to the Moho layer.

Mr. Andersen just said.

Alice Governor's deep sea, close to the Moho Layer.

……

Su Qi swallowed his saliva and asked:

"This ...... What happens if it sinks too deep? ”

"The deeper you go, the more unsafe it is, especially if you can't handle it on your own.

There are many accidents that happen, such as being found and eaten by ghosts, which is the most common. ”

"What other dangers?"

"You may get lost in the deep sea, and the whole person will go crazy, deformed, and lose control in the chaos of mental disorder and transform into an idealist, that is, a ghost."

"Huh?"

Su Qi looked stunned.

"It's not uncommon for mystics to get out of control, and many people dive too deep and never come back."

Hans Christian Andersen turned out a few cases for Su Qi to see.

"How deep have you sunk? Don't tell me how many meters there are, tell me which layer, just blur it.

To anyone, don't reveal the specific depth of your deep sea, the ability of ghosts and gods is unpredictable.

The number of meters in the deep sea is a secret that can never be spoken.

Once you tell your true specific depth meters, it will attract unspeakable extreme terror. ”

Su Qi nodded cautiously.

"I've sunk to the abyss......"

"Abyssal Layer?"

Andersen's brow furrowed.

"Your deep sea is deeper than I thought."

"Am I in danger right now?"

Su Qi was a little apprehensive in his heart.

He was fearless before, thinking that he would be safe by hiding from ghosts and gods. However, I never expected that there would be a word "out of control".

"Am I going to lose control?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to predict the loss of control, have you ever felt that you often forget things recently, and when you come back to your senses, you don't remember what you did."

You're not talking about Alzheimer's?

Su Qi thought about it and shook his head.

"Nope."

"That should be fine for the time being, but it can't be kept like this forever, this depth is too dangerous.

You'll need an anchor in case you get lost. ”

"Anchor?"

"It's written in that note."

Su Qi flipped through his notes.

Anchoring, a bond that holds the mystic together with the world of the "sea", spider silk, fishing line.

It includes gratitude, faith, trust, bonding, etc., complex thinking behaviors, and conscious behaviors.

Here's an example.

When people believe in God and religion, they are anchored.

The believers on the sea are the anchor of God.

"Does that mean I'm going to make a religion to make people believe me?"

Su Qi looked confused, this is impossible, this is the Internet era.

"Building your own anchor from scratch is the most complex and difficult way to do it.

In the previous era of ignorance when information was not developed. It may be possible, but it is almost impossible in modern times.

Anchoring is not something that can be formed by a momentary heat, it requires a lot of opportunities, it needs to echo faith and manifestation at the same time, it needs enough deep sea depth, and so on

This is a complex operation, and it takes a long time to accumulate, and it requires the right time and place coincidence.

There are only a handful of mysteries I know of who have anchored myself. ”

Andersen shook his head.

"However, the occult school has long ago developed a shortcut."

"What shortcut?"

"It's hard for us to build anchors on our own, but there's a lot of anchoring that has existed in history."

Hans Christian Andersen picked up a book, and Su Qi saw that the title of the book was "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales".

"The original owners of these anchors have passed away, but the traces related to them still exist in this world in the form of ghosts and gods, in the form of divine objects.

We can make ourselves into them through the divine objects, and take over their anchorage little by little. ”

Hans Christian Andersen held a red gravel in his hand and held Su Qi's hands.

"Come into my deep sea and tell you what anchoring is."

Su Qi felt that his eyes were dark.

Tremendous water pressure hits.

……

Su Qi sank into the deep and lightless deep sea.

The depth ruler is not visible.

This is not his deep sea, it is Hans Christian Andersen's.

Su Qi raised his head.

He saw Hans Christian Andersen floating in the sea.

And......

A huge twisted corpse 100 meters tall in the deep sea.

Behind the huge twisted corpse.

Countless bright lines glowing with white light connect the sea.

The white lines are dense like a curtain of light.

Like the wings of light behind the huge corpse, pulling the corpse and anchoring it tightly above the sea.

You won't get lost in the depths of the ocean.
