Chapter 140: Skinner's Box
Physiological and psychological torture.
Through cruel and horrific torture and killing, the victim is extremely frightened, thereby enhancing the activity of the mind and giving birth to ghosts and gods.
Su Qi glanced at the disgusting severed arms and stumps piled up in the cardboard box, and turned his face away with disgust.
"What's the point of doing that?"
"It's hard to say, it may be for some experimental purpose, there may be some conspiracy behind it, it may be some kind of ritual, it may be enjoying the pleasure of torture and killing, or even pure malice."
Yamaruzod spread his hands.
"If you stay in this circle for a long time, you will find that there are a lot of psychologically abnormal people here, who have a hobby of distorted aesthetics.
One of them has a special hobby for the human body, and highly recommends the use of human bones or organs to make luxury goods, such as human skin wallets and human bone watches.
This black industry chain is controlled by a notorious fashion designer, his name, the skeleton master.
The London branch of the Black Gate Club has been tracking down the skeleton for a long time, but it has always received great resistance. ”
"These resistance comes from his ...... Client? ”
Su Qi said, this is very easy to understand, the clown in front of the dignitaries, that little means may not be able to see the light of day, and it will be on the stage, but if you can please one person, you will have a job, especially this extremely private "special habit".
"His clientele is also among the upper echelons of the mystic circle, those who look great and upright, not necessarily any of them are sanctimonious and well-dressed beasts in human skin."
As he spoke, he poured fuel into it, took out a match, lit it, and threw it into a cardboard box of severed arm stumps.
Before the scorching smell of burning could be heard, the afterbirth ceremony had already covered and wrapped the entire carton until it burned to ashes and was ready to be cleaned up.
"This kind of ghost and god whose behavior depends on artifacts belongs to the ghosts and gods that are easier to deal with, as long as the artifacts to which it is attached are destroyed, its behavior will be destroyed, and it will disappear."
"Is it sinking? Or death? ”
Su Qi asked.
"I don't know, the argument of the majority of the circle is death, because after disappearing, even the mysteries of the deep sea will not be able to find them.
In addition, there is a very special argument, saying that according to some Oriental secret people, after the artifacts attached to the Fu Fu God are damaged, the Fu Fu God will return to the arms of the Great Ming God, which is the argument of the auxiliary ghost and god community theory, and the ghosts and gods produced by the large mystery will return to the large mystery. ”
What Shan Lu Zodd said later is the content that is more academic side, and Su Qi's current occult skills cannot be completely understood and understood.
……
The fire burned for a while, and the stumps in the box, along with the plate, were all burned, and Su Qi looked at it, and sure enough, there was no trace of the ghost and god, and it disappeared.
Only then did he remember that this plate was ruined, and he had to buy one to make up for it when he went back.
As for the fact that there are still so many old furniture in the class, what should I do with the funeral god on it......
Su Qi didn't have much say in this kind of matter, after all, the cultural festival ghost house was an activity for the whole class, and he couldn't say anything like furniture that couldn't be used, so he could only pay attention to the point and drag it out until the cultural festival was over.
However, nothing should happen, these Fu Fu Shen's deep sea is not shallow, and it will not affect ordinary people, he just needs to pay attention to his own safety.
Moreover, the ghosts and gods attached to the utensils are born with a greatly limited ability to act, and if he does not take the initiative to approach, the possibility of encountering danger is basically zero.
Let's do it for now, and be flexible.
Su Qi shook his head, thinking that after the cultural festival, he would find a way to see if he could dispose of those furniture.
……
After asking about the funeral god here, Su Qi found Director Alice and talked about today's main business.
"How do you know the Beyonder."
Sitting in a wheelchair, Director Alice is pushed out of the councillor's chamber by the Hatter.
"I may have seen it."
"Maybe, you're not sure, are you?"
"After the Tengu incident was resolved last night, I asked for the name of the person behind the scenes, a person named Waji, from the beheading cycle."
Su Qi sat down and talked about what happened last night.
"I later took the tram home and met this Washi on the tram."
"By chance, he came to you on purpose."
"I don't know, but I don't think it's like an accident, he was behind the Tengu incident, and at that time, in that place, he appeared for a good reason."
"What's going on."
"I got a glimpse of a large mystery that seemed to be on display, and then I almost fell out of control, but fortunately it didn't get out of control, he seemed to be planning to kill me at first, but I didn't lose control, he later mentioned the blood fairy worm or something, and he didn't kill me again."
"What does his mystery look like?"
"Kofun, a large number of kofun."
Su Qi took out the notes he had taken out of the notes he had taken from checking the materials in the library at noon today, and handed them to Director Alice.
"I speculated about his identity based on some clues I knew.
If he was a man who had lived for 1,500 years, and the funerary culture of the Kofun period was a mystery he created, I wonder if he would have been the envoy of the original Queen of Yamadai, Himiko. ”
"So you asked me about the time family."
Alice looked at the analysis diagram drawn by Su Qi and nodded.
"Indeed, immortality, the mystery of the times...... All behaviors seem reasonable when they are applied to transcendent people.
Although our knowledge of the transcendent only exists in the accounts of the Gold Rush.
But in the mysterious East, I think any bizarre possibility should be considered. ”
Director Alice bowed her head and pondered, the hatter went to the side to make black tea, Su Qi saw it, and said in his heart, no wonder he felt that something was missing just now.
In the absence of Mr. Andersen, Ms. Shan Ruzod is indeed not the kind of petty bourgeoisie who would think of making tea.
……
"Can I read the note that contains the Transcendental Man?"
Su Qi asked.
"No, it's not mine, it's not even in the hands of the Black Gate Club."
Director Alice said.
"But I've visited the second owner of that notebook, and I've read it, so I can tell you about it."
Director Alice said, taking a sip of tea.
"In fact, there is not much content, the main thing is that the first owner of the note recorded that he participated in the Oriental Gold Rush at that time, accidentally encountered an indescribable horror ghost, the team was destroyed, and when he was about to die, he was saved by a passerby.
This passer-by performed an extremely incredible trick at that time to deal with the ghosts and gods. ”
"Unbelievable?"
"There are a lot of blacked out parts of the notebook, and there are burnt marks, which shows that the owner has tried to write it down.
But the indescribable mystery cannot be recorded.
He couldn't write about what happened at that time, what the inconceivable means were. ”
Director Alice recalls the contents of her notes.
Then, he followed the Oriental Mystic for several days, and learned of the crown system and the existence of transcendent knowledge from the imprint on the ritual array.
After paying a lot of price, he got some information from this Eastern mystic.
First of all, the Eastern Mystic is the transcendent person of the crown system, with a lifespan beyond the times, and knowledge beyond the times.
Transcendent knowledge does exist, but it cannot be transmitted through mere knowledge teaching.
Only by becoming a transcendent person can we perceive transcendent knowledge, but not everyone can become a transcendent person. ”
Su Qi remembered what Director Alice said to him on the phone last night.
"The birth of a transcendent person requires the support of an era."
"That's right, that's what I said in my notes."
Alice nodded.
"Other than that, it's left a model."
"What model?"
"An obscure, indecipherable model, I don't know what it cost the first owner of the note to get it from the hands of that transcendent person in the East."
"This model is important?"
The notes say that in this model, there is a way to become a transcendent person.
The first owner of the note was troubled by the inability to decipher this mysterious model, and gradually became paranoid, but until he lost control and died, he did not decipher anything from it until the note fell into the hands of the second owner.
After the second owner got the notes and studied them, he deciphered a concept from the model and conducted an experimental case based on it, and named it.
This indescribable mystery can only be recorded after being encrypted by the transcendent person.
and then the interpretation and transcription of the second master, transforming the unspeakable mystery into an academic experiment and theory that human beings can recognize, so that it can be understood and learned by us. ”
Su Qi heard the strangeness in his heart and asked:
"What kind of experiment is this?"
"The second owner of the note is named Skinner."
Su Qi looked stunned.
"Skinner boxes?"
