Chapter 106: The Ghost Box
It's just that he didn't expect that he actually had a relationship with Dr. Yukichi Fukurai, who is a leader in the study of RB supernatural phenomena, and it seems that he is not an ordinary person.
"That...... By the way, I also helped you find out the data of Furai Yukichi, which is just behind. Yumi saw that I didn't speak, thinking that I was angry, and her tone couldn't help but soften.
I nodded, and began to ramble through the information of the famous doctor, and suddenly, I was stunned!
Two names appeared in that data, one was Lu Ping and the other was Li Shuren, both of whom were Chinese scholars who followed Fulai Yukichi to study superpowers at that time.
Of course, I am familiar with these two names, and I will never forget them for the rest of my life.
More than 10 years ago, Lu Ping spent a lot of money to overhaul the construction of the town where I lived, and even built six iconic buildings.
But I don't know what his purpose was, he actually arranged them in the shape of a white pentagram, and in the building in the middle of the pentagram, a total of more than 130 people died tragically, and that is where I found the first black box.
And Li Shuren's guy is even more strange!
He always looks like he is in his twenties, and it seems that he can never grow old or die, and it is because of my strong curiosity about him that I will find the second black box, and I am also unlucky to be cursed, and I have to drag the bed all day and night to a position where I can use my feet towards the door, otherwise I will have nightmares when I sleep, and I am terrified every day, afraid that one day, the dream demon in the dream will sneak out and cut off his head......
I once sneaked into my cousin Yefeng's office and checked the autopsy report of Li Shuren, which mentioned that Li Shuren was at least eighty years old, but I didn't expect that not only Li Shuren, but even that Lu Ping could not grow old or die.
I counted as I snapped my fingers.
RB's Meiji period began in 1867 AD, and the two of them have been following Dr. Tomokichi Fukurai since the 33rd year of the Meiji era, which means that their age has already exceeded 100 years old!
Oh, my God! What happened during that time? Could it be that they are also superpowers?
Also, what do those black boxes have to do with them?
I feel like the main line of the black box has gradually been touched by me, but that is only a very vague concept. I had gathered so little information that I couldn't make a judgment.
I thought for a moment, then turned my head and asked Yumi, "How much do you know about superpowers?" ”
"It won't be more than the average person." She recalled slightly, "Although many people now believe that the onmyoji of the Heian era, Apei Harumi, is a superpower. But if you want to talk about RB in modern times, there are only two people with the most famous superpowers, and they are all women.
"One is Chizuruko Mifune, who was born in the 19th year of the Meiji era, and is said to be a person with special functions of perspective. In the summer of the 41st year of the Meiji era, she used her brother's induction hypnosis experiment to find a gold ring that fell into the sea by using her clairvoyant superpowers, and since then she has become famous, and then won the title of "Clairvoyant Thousand Cranes". At the time, some people even believed that she could talk to sea monsters.
"The second is Ikuko Nagao, who was born in the fourth year of the Meiji era, and it is said that she is the first person in RB who can use special functions to project images and words in her mind onto image negatives."
I nodded, "I know very well about the two of them, but these two strange people have a miserable end.
"The reason is that they have all met the superpower fanatic Dr. Yukichi Fukuraichi. In order to prove the existence of special abilities in the world, he did not hesitate to put effort into Chizuruko Mifune, using her as his best experimental trophy, making Chizuruko Mifune the focus of media attention.
On the 15th day of September in the 43rd year of the Meiji era, he summoned hundreds of scholars to conduct experiments and asked Chizuruko Mifune to pick three or five words from a thousand characters without being informed, and then compare them with the fifty constituents prepared by the scholars.
Mifune Chizuruko successfully used her perspective ability to successfully answer the word correctly three times, which made everyone at the scene dumbfounded, but because she was facing away from everyone, and those stubborn intellectuals suspected that she was secretly doing something, the next day's newspaper ruthlessly accused her of being a fraudster, and Chizuruko, who was only twenty-five years old at the time, committed suicide by drinking poison in anger because she couldn't stand the criticism of the media.
And Dr. Fukurai was very unwilling after the failure of Mifune Chizuruko's experiment, and in the 43rd year of the Meiji era, he found Ikuko Nagao, who was 39 years old at the time.
"Ikuko also showed many incredible special abilities in front of the media through Dr. Fukurai's various experiments, but in an experiment on January 8, Meiji 44, her methods were criticized, and in February of the same year, she suffered from heart disease, and finally followed in the footsteps of Chizuruko Mifune."
Yumi's expression darkened, she sighed faintly, and said softly: "Actually, they really can't blame Dr. Fukurai Tomokichi for their tragic deaths, it's because their own psychological tolerance is too weak to stand the suspicion of others and the accusations of public opinion." In fact, they are also victims of that closed era......"
"Who knows......" I sighed involuntarily, suddenly thought of something, and said: "I remember that in the "Chronicle of Superpowers" written by Takanagaoyoshi, it was vaguely mentioned that after the failure of the two successive experiments, Dr. Fukuraiyokichi had secretly conducted a third unknown experiment, and the subject was still a woman.
She is said to have the ability to display words on a blank sheet of paper with her mind, but her name is never mentioned in her book.
"Another thing I care about is that regarding the cause of Nagao Ikuko's death, Takanagao Yoshichi has always used an ambiguous tone, emphasizing that she did not die of a heart attack, but died suddenly. What exactly the reason is, he did not write very clearly, only that her death was full of mystery and seemed to be man-made......"
Yumi was surprised, "Is it artificial?" So what's going on? ”
I shook my head, "That seems to be related to the other two disciples of Fulai Yukichi, the Chinese scholars mentioned in the information you gave me, Lu Ping and Li Shuren. After thinking about it carefully, I said, "My purpose for coming to RB also has a lot to do with them. ”
"That's right." Yumi hugged me from behind, "Speaking of which, what are you doing at RB?" I asked you before, you didn't really insincere extrapolation that it was just for sightseeing, or that you filled my curiosity with some extremely stiff laughter, but this time you must tell me that you are not allowed to lie! ”
I turned my head to stare into her bright eyes, struggled inwardly for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth: "It's for the black box." ”
