On the first page of Lu Ran's new notebook, he wrote a [Different].

"Of the events you have dealt with so far, the two types of 'non-human beings' you have dealt with are far from being called 'different'...... If it's similar, the first puppet is relatively close. Because the main body of this sub-line puppet is a "strange"! He once disguised himself as a puppeteer and secretly controlled the entire town. ”

"Every seemingly normal resident of the town is actually a puppet controlled by her...... The puppet you killed was one of the people in the town, and the total population of the entire town was 6,000...... Moreover, the whole town, under the control of this "puppeteer", pretended to deceive us for eight years before it was revealed because of a mishandling of one thing. ”

"This ......" Lu Ran was speechless in surprise.

"Before we talk about "otherness", let's talk about anomalous humans, who have a direct connection with the formation of "otherness"...... Headquarters and its various offices are assigned to some low-level staff or ordinary human detectives to do a basic job - to monitor anomalous humans. ”

Lu Ran nodded: "Hmm!" I've seen the archives of [anomalous humans]. ”

"These anomalous humans all have a certain potential to evolve into "other" ...... According to their degree of abnormality, they are divided into five levels: [Worm], [Rat], [Snake], [Jackal], and [Tiger]. ”

"We will directly find a way to 'deal with' anomalous humans when they meet any of the following conditions: (1) Obvious suicidal tendencies. (2). The degree of abnormality increases suddenly, and the personality changes dramatically. (3). The degree of abnormality is greater than or equal to [jackal]. ”

"Processing?" It was difficult for Lu Ran to understand these two words.

"You can think of it as 'excess'. There is a very small chance that these dangerous humans will become "alien" after death...... And our treatment can just rule out this small probability. But...... Humans with a greater degree of anomaly than [jackal] are quite cunning and will try their best to hide. ”

"Why not strangle it from the root?"

Lu Ran's meaning is that when human beings initially show abnormal states, they will control or deal with the target.

"The fundamental purpose of our firm and its headquarters in this world is to deal with 'supernatural events' or 'high-level events' that ordinary people cannot reach, and strive to achieve peace and stability...... If you directly attack a suspicious target that is likely to get better, the 'butterfly effect' will have a bad social impact. ”

"Indeed." Lu Ran nodded.

"Next, we will continue to say that [human alienation] is the fundamental source of "alienation".

"Once anomalous humans die under certain 'special conditions' and have a small probability of 'sublimation', they will become an existence with extremely high social danger, an existence that surpasses ordinary humans...... They cannot be called 'new humans' or 'new higher beings', because their existence is absolutely detrimental to the development of the world. ”

"What is different from man, what is heresy. They're just a bunch of dangerous aliens! When Yan Musen said this, his tone was obviously aggravated.

"What's the difference between them and people?" Lu Ran asked.

"They have lost their [human form] and can never exist in human form without the help of external objects...... They have different forms, and they are very similar to the monsters in some movie games, and even more drawn. ”

"Loss of human form" Lu Ran hurriedly wrote down this key word.

"Isn't it easy to spot if there is no human form...... Or can they attach to humans? Lu Ran speculated on the "different" lifestyle with his experience of playing games.

"No, they can disguise themselves as human beings, even though they have lost their human form...... It was possible to do it thousands of years ago. ”

"Camouflage? How? ”

"[Human skin], by stuffing flesh into human skin for camouflage, when the 'Silk Road' was built, the human skin market was not only limited to the country, but also became the world's largest dark trade."

"Most of the 'heterogeneous' can be changed at the level of form, and can be perfectly camouflaged through a single piece of human skin. Whether it is body movements, eye changes, or even changes in posture as you get older, you can imitate them. ”

"Human skin!?" Lu Ran's back was inexplicably filled with a chill.

"In the hidden black market, there are a lot of human skins of varying quality, and high-quality human skins can be sold for very high prices...... The reason why I will tell you so much today is because there may be such a "stranger" in the 'Niu Da' you are about to study, and with your current level of strength, it is impossible to fight against it. ”

"Detective Yan, what do you mean, let me find out about it?"

"That's right, that's your first job...... As a student, confirm the true identity of the "strange" lurking in Taurus University. ”

Lu Ran swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to ask, "Since their disguise is flawless, how can I tell the difference?" ”

"Remember what I'm going to say next."

"Okay."

"The difference between human beings is not only the difference in form, human skin can only disguise their 'form', but cannot disguise their 'behavior'...... Each "strange" has a unique 'idiosyncrasis'. ”

The key word "heterophilia", Lu Ran quickly wrote it down.

Yan Musen continued:

"Unlike our human fetishes, this kind of 'heterophilia' is often mad, and it is not something that ordinary people do."

"For example, I like to drive nails into my tongue, I like to collect bugs as snacks, I like the pain of tearing off my fingernails, and I like to glue off the skin of my body...... Wait a minute. ”

"This!" Lu Ran was taken aback.

"'Anomalism' is often related to the formation of 'abnormality', and once it is detected, even if it is disguised with 'human skin', it will not help...... Your job this time is to collect evidence of the 'pew', or to confirm the identity of the 'peek' in a more intuitive way...... Don't be impulsive, once you are exposed, the mortality rate is as high as 95% or more. ”

"Got it!"

Yan Musen patted Lu Ran on the shoulder:

"Don't worry too much, Taurus Middle School is an international school. Now things are getting bigger, and it's not just our office that is staring at the school, but other people are also staring at the school. According to our investigation, this "anomaly" should have just been formed and belongs to the lowest level...... When your cousin had a horrific experience, he hadn't reached that level. ”

"The lowest?"

"The lowest level of 'often different' is more sloppy in the cover of 'heterogeneity'...... But remember, even the lowest is enough to leave you dead in a short period of time. Remember, you're just gathering evidence of your "fetish", don't rush it and get caught on fire. ”

"Okay."

Yan Musen looked at his watch.

"That's all for tonight's conversation, there's more information about the World Framework and more about the Other, and we'll talk about it when you're done with that."

"Detective Yan, what is the time limit for this work?"

"Considering you're new, three months! Provide sufficient evidence within three months, if you do not complete it successfully, it may affect your regularization. ”

"Okay."
