This timbre ......

Unique electronic sound texture.

Hugo was so familiar that he knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

A great presence in the Hall of Mysteries.

Mr. Truth.

She looked up in surprise.

This was the first time she had perceived Mr. Truth outside of the Hall of Mysteries.

……

Hugo is not a Secret Person, and she doesn't know much about the Secret Person's knowledge of contact with ghosts and gods.

Some ghosts and gods in the deep layers, because they have the autonomy to want to float, will take the initiative to establish contact with the secret people through some methods.

The Hall of Mysteries, in Hugo's view, is such a means of connecting with 'Mr. Truth'.

In addition to this, there are shrines that have disappeared for a long time.

Both of these methods require their own side to take the initiative to carry out complex rituals.

And Mr. Truth took the initiative to deliver the message to her.

This is the first time.

……

"Mr. Truth? Mr. Truth? ”

Hugo gave it a try.

No response.

It doesn't have the same conversation as in the Hall of Mysteries.

Is it one-way?

Or is it difficult to get a message from the deep sea?

Hugo began to analyze the information he had gotten.

In a word, one coordinate.

The coordinates are nearby.

One sentence is: the ignorant are spying on the mystery of truth.

The meaning is obvious.

You need to do something yourself.

Hugo blows the bubble gum out of his mouth and picks up the hanger of the Frankenstein doll.

……

Akihabara, the roof of a commercial building.

Su Qi pinched the small piece of sheepskin with the teleportation ritual array drawn into a ball and stuffed it back into his pocket.

The single array really has a large error and is not very stable.

The third drop is to drop where you need it.

But the message should have arrived.

You should be able to understand what you mean, right?

Su Qi stood on the edge of the roof and looked at the Akihabara business district below.

Not far away is the Cyber Electronic Video Store.

……

"What is the pattern of the appearance of this 'ghost'? Why do some thrones have ghosts and some don't? ”

Tomoya asked.

"How do I know, I'm here for the first time too."

Su Qi said casually.

"Where did you know these coordinates?"

"I found some clues when I was investigating a shrine before."

"What shrine?"

"It's like enshrined a god called Tokyo Shinjo...... Why do you ask so much! ”

Su Qi looked like he was 'talking by himself'.

Tuyumen Tomoya is also proud in his heart, his own words are still very powerful, this person is really hiding a secret.

Su Qi couldn't be happy in his heart, this tool man was simply too conscious, and before he had time to dig the pit, he ran over and stepped on it.

……

Here's where it goes.

Su Qi's purpose has gradually become clear.

He kept in contact with Tomoya and handed him some information cryptically.

I just want to use the constant misleading hints to let Tomoya Tomoto, a tool man, help him spread a message.

A legend he made up of the 'Ghost King'.

Ninety-nine-eighty-one 'ghost kings'.

……

That's right.

Not only did Su Qi not plan to find a way to eliminate the legend of the 'Ghost King's Resurgence'. It is also intended to add fuel to the fire.

Make it 'real'.

……

In fact, Su Qi did think carefully about how to eliminate the rumors of the 'revival of the ghost king' at the beginning.

Because this rumor was accidentally created by him.

So even if no one else knows, even the people of the Black Gate are not sure if this is true or fake.

But Su Qi himself knows it very well.

This is a false rumor, because of the collective panic, it is gradually becoming 'true'.

Everybody knows.

The best way to suppress the rumors from coming true and the ghost king from really appearing is to crack the rumors.

But is it really possible?

……

Rumors stop at the wise.

And in this world, the wise will always belong to the minority.

Anything, once it enters the mouth of the 'group'.

and it will never be the same again.

This is the power of the 'rabble'.

……

There is a book in the Black Gate Club.

A psychology book.

The Rabble

When Su Qi first went to the Black Gate Club, he saw the book and put it on a woven rattan chair.

……

A controversial psychology read.

It may be that the readings that analyze social psychology are prone to controversy, or it may be that Le Pen's words are too sarcastic about the 'ignorance' of the masses.

It can even be interpreted as containing the emphasis of capital and the naked debasement of the spiritual aristocracy.

……

Social psychology.

There is one peculiarity of this science.

It's very contemporary.

People of different eras have different modes of thinking, and it is impossible to generalize.

For example, the ancients thought that if a woman wore a short skirt and showed her legs on the street, it would be immoral, and this kind of remark was obviously unreasonable now.

This is the epochal nature of social psychology.

In other words, this thing may become obsolete and outdated very quickly, and many ideas may not be applicable after a few years of changes in social production relations.

……

The book "The Rabble" is different.

It has been more than a century since the book was written.

But it's hard to imagine that many of the ideas mentioned in a social psychology book from more than a century ago are still visible in this day and age.

The reasons for this are manifold.

Written after the French Revolution, "The Rabble" experienced the horrors of the Jacobin dictatorship and has unique characteristics of the times.

The social organization relations of that period were so close to the present that they gave birth to some social psychological concepts rooted in human nature.

……

In "The Rabble", there is such a passage:

The masses have never thirsted for the truth, and they have turned a blind eye to unpalatable evidence.

If they are tempted by fallacy, they are more willing to worship it.

Whoever provides them with illusions can easily become their master.

Whoever destroys their illusions will become their victims.

……

Why didn't Su Qi try to debunk the rumors?

Because he learned that the psykers of Tokyo had experienced a ghost disaster ten years ago, a ghost disaster that had made fear deeply sink into their minds.

He knew that it would be impossible to debunk this rumor.

For 'the masses have never thirsted for the truth, and they have turned a blind eye to unpleasant evidence'.

Everyone knows that the ghost king is coming.

You jump out and say it's fake.

Will anyone believe it?

The fear that had accumulated ten years ago had made the psychic people in Tokyo prefer to believe that ghosts really exist, and prepare for possible crises with all their might.

You say there are no ghosts, no need to be nervous?

That's trying to harm them! It's distracting people's hearts!

……

So Su Qi directly passed this method.

'If the fallacy is tempting to them, they are more willing to worship it.'

He switched to another approach.

Since you don't want the truth?

Then I will give you complete error.

Su Qi began to prepare, and began to spread more rumors, embedding his ninety-nine-eighty-one in the rumors of the 'revival of the ghost king'.

Ten years ago, you faced ten ghost kings?

Inadequate.

This time, I'll give you ninety-nine-eighty-one.

……

When Su Qi was solving the ghosts and gods of transfer students, he used the method of 'making locks' to solve the problem, and this time it was similar.

Your group is so panicked, instead of using it to create ghosts, it is better to use it to anchor my ninety-nine-eighty-one.

At present, the rumors have just arisen and are still taking shape.

At the stage of everyone's 'working together' to make up for it, I took the initiative to hint, mislead, and lead the anchor to 9981, so as to stabilize.

'Whoever provides them with illusions can easily become their master'.

Su Qixin said that this kind of opportunity is like entering a green leek field.

At a glance.

A handful of leeks were waiting for him to cut.
