The range of the hand lamp is quite narrow, the street in front of the pier is not fully illuminated, and the hand lamp is hung in front of each store, the bright yellow light is not bright, but it gives people a warm feeling, however, in the alleys and corners where the light fades, and even beyond, the coldness brought by the darkness is even more profound. It was about half past seven, and the distance of the specific portable lamp was already in a deep darkness, which made people feel that it was so dim that even the sound had been sucked out. The illuminated place is one world, and the unlit place is another world, and the light source is so uneven, like dark dots, appearing in a warm picture.

Warm and cold, safe and dangerous, relatively contradictory feelings, just like that, appear in this small town. If there is an exotic atmosphere, then it is, but this kind of scene also makes people feel nostalgic for places with portable lanterns, and they refuse to leave the range of light from the bottom of their hearts.

Dr. Ruan Li and I went out of the store, and it was clear that it was not yet time for the cold air to go south, but the atmosphere of this town had a gloomy and cold feeling, perhaps it was from the darkness that the lights could not shine on.

"It's an amazing place." The fitness instructor tied his hair with a rubber band and sighed, "However, people who like warmth and comfort definitely don't like it here." It's not a good place to spend a night here. ”

"I think this kind of atmosphere is more appealing to those who like the atmosphere of mystery and those who are looking for a taste of horror." Said the soothsayer.

"There's an atmosphere, but nothing actually happens, right? Otherwise, it's not so peaceful to live here, is it? Mitsukasuka obviously spoke in an affirmative tone, but it made people feel that he was actually furious from the bottom of his heart, so he used such words to cheer himself up.

Truly. After experiencing the horror of the previous resting point, and after Dr. Ruan Li's explanation, I couldn't help but feel that the murderer who had not yet revealed his true face would jump out at any time. Although my perception of the truth about "murderers" is different from theirs. In the information I know, there is no such thing as a specific individual murderer, the so-called "murderer" is just a collective concept of a situation, and the previous encounter is nothing more than a chaos caused by the interaction of multiple forces. In reality, there is no such thing as an action against us, but we are threatened and are still in danger today. This alone is also similar to the situation of "there is a murderer lurking nearby".

Whether you interpret it as "the chaos caused by mystery" or "the murderer lurking around", the impact and danger caused by it will only intensify in the future. The symposium will consist of three sessions: presentations, presentations, and study tours, and will include most of the activities in addition to collating their own publicly available research results and communicating with other participants. It will all revolve around a local psychiatric hospital. Whether it's the villa we're going to live in, or this mental hospital. Its biggest sponsors and developers are all pharmaceutical businessmen named Dallas. The center of the activity, the psychiatric hospital, has a long history in the local area, initially as a monastery, and then was successively taken over and transformed into various social welfare institutions, including "orphanages", "hospices", "hospitals", etc. It is not the first time that it has been used in a psychiatric hospital.

It is said that the reason why it fell from a monastery to the point where it was sold several times is because it was built with some improper shadows, and it is necessary to say what it is. While I was waiting to board the ship, I heard rumors like this:

At the beginning, the monastery was a place to hide filth, or rather, in order to hide filth and filth, and to preserve some unsightly things, customs or behaviors, so that under the guise of a monastery, such a building was built, which was still very small at first, but the filthy acts brought improper money, and then used some improper methods, intermittently annexed the surrounding land, and gradually built a number of outbuildings, and when the monastery was changed hands for another way, its area was already very large. Its fame has spread even further than the town. There are different theories as to whether the monastery had to be closed and sold because of the discovery of those dirty and dark things, but the locals believe that the mastermind managed to escape and take away the belongings. The reason for this is simply because, although it is rumored to be a place where filth and dirt are hidden, it is said that when the monastery was transferred, there was no suspicious place, but even if it is rumor, it cannot be completely fictitious, and everyone is more willing to believe that it is true than the monastery being slandered, but the actions of the people behind the scenes are strict and meticulous enough, so there is no evidence at all.

Not only me, but also Dr. Nguyen Lê himself, other experts are still very interested in these rumors, and whether they believe it or not is another question, but at least it is good to listen to them as entertainment. Among the experts, there are very few people who are as cautious as our team, and only we have a mysterious incident among the passengers of the three buses, and it seems that only Dr. Nguyen Le has said the guess that "the murderer is around us".

With the exception of the passengers of our bus, who were still unable to completely let go of the absurdity, weirdness and death of the last mysterious event, everyone else treated the seminar as a special trip - I felt that way.

So, they would joke with the locals about the monastery without any fuss, and of course they would inevitably talk about the recent conversion into a mental hospital. The locals seem to have learned the identity of our rare group of tourists from other people, so it doesn't seem wrong to ask the guests about it, but even if the asylum was and is famous in the local area for its legendary rumors, not many people can say anything special about what the asylum is like.

"It's just an ordinary mental hospital." Locals said: "There are some elderly people, dementia patients, but I rarely hear of those who will attack people and transfer them in." I don't remember, huh? He asked, and the other locals echoed.

"Still. In order to prevent the child from running to such a place. You know, that kind of place doesn't feel very auspicious anyway. He drank the rest of his beer, rested his glass on the table, spat out his wine, and said with a red face: "Our attitude here - whether it is a convent, a serious hospital, a hospice, a mental hospital or a brothel - haha. I don't think of it as a serious place. Therefore, some stories will also be made up to scare those disobedient children. This kind of thing, from my grandparents' grandparents, basically, if you hear any weird legends, it's basically made up by the people in this area, and when the children get married, they will still be notified of the event. Make up a catchy story about that place to participate in the judging. Isn't it interesting to sort out a good story and add a little spice, you know, after a few years and decades, it becomes a weird story? At this point, he paused and said to the surroundings, "Hey." I didn't reveal anything bad, did I? The locals around burst into laughter, obviously. They weren't surprised that people knew about it.

In the eyes of others, this is similar to a community event, and the act of spontaneously growing in order to connect with the people around it has probably become a custom in the surrounding area. Lots of fun, old enough activities, no matter how weird. All have a very strong vitality. It is not a particularly strange activity to create your own strange stories about this area with the land around the monastery as the core, and to pass on the strange stories after participating in the selection.

But. In my opinion, if there is no "mystery", it is not a strange thing that in the world of "mystery", spontaneously brewing and sorting out strange stories will lead to the occurrence of real strange stories. Especially when the core of these strange stories is cohesive enough and long enough to occupy a large part in people's hearts, the possibility of becoming real strange stories will also become relatively large. I can't help but guess that although there are many ways to create a temporary hedge space, and a specific electronic demon messenger can even easily create an inherent realm, just like the scope of the monastery in people's minds, as long as there is a gray mist, and even without much adjustment, it can spontaneously form a temporary hedge space with strange tales as the core content.

And when the specific electronic demon messenger unleashes the inherent enchantment in that place, will it be affected by these strange information, and the inherent enchantment will mutate, and even put himself in danger? I've thought carefully about the inherent enchantment of specific electronic demon messengers, and according to what I know, people with psychological problems, or those who are more mentally extreme, are more likely to become specific than ordinary people after obtaining electronic demons, and now, that place full of rumors has been converted into a mental hospital. In fact, when Dallas invited Dr. Nguyen Li, he had already made it clear that he would carry out research on a new project in that psychiatric hospital - whether it was Dallas's identity or the reason why Dr. Nguyen Li agreed to join, it was enough to prove that his research direction must be quite extreme and full of mystery, and the psychiatric patients who were used to study guinea pigs must be very dangerous, not to mention the aggressiveness for the time being, and it was possible to try to make them become special electronic demon messengers at the right time.

It is absolutely impossible for anyone to know more about the mysterious power of the electronic demon and to fully grasp its secrets. However, based on my speculation about the origin of the electrodemon, it is probably impossible to understand it deeply or even control it. Because, in order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to face the monster in that nightmare, and even the alienation of Youjiang, and the Nazi organization, the actual owner of this repeater world, which is not something that ordinary people can defeat.

Therefore, unless there is a sufficiently powerful alien occult in its own right place - such as the NOG, and of course, the best option is the Doomsday Shinrikyo based on the current distribution of power - all those who try to penetrate the electronic demonic system will end up with a tragic result.

If Dr. Nguyen Le wants to go deeper in this regard, I intend to stop her, but Dr. Nguyen Li's peculiarity now can also ensure her own safety to the greatest extent. I think it's better to wait and see what happens.

I know a lot of people who are bound by electronic demons, and there are not a few people who are mentally challenged, and they all meet the requirements of the subjects of Dallas's research. The cooperation between Dallas and Dr. Nguyen Le and other elite experts and scholars has achieved something. Wouldn't it be helpful for others who are subject to the Electro Demon as well? Perhaps, it is precisely because of this idea that NOG will let Dallas act. So far, Dallas-related seminars account for more than ninety percent of the activity. Dallas can already be considered to be the moderator of this seminar.

Outside of Dallas, there must have been a lot of people in the workshop, but they should be doing more behind the scenes than Dallas, and they can't take the lead in Dallas, unless Dallas fails and dies.

Let's be honest. I'm also very interested in what Dallas plans to do and what he can research, and whether Dr. Nguyen Li will realize the reality of the "mystery" in Dallas's research plan is also a matter of concern - if Dr. Nguyen Lê recognizes the mystery in the real yàn, then. The actions of the entire workshop can be considered the actions of the intruders "against the mysterious inhibitions". It doesn't matter if they know the key to success or not.

Don't know how. But I felt it, I did it according to my feelings, and so I somehow succeeded - "Mysterious" could have done such an incredible thing.

Compared to the mysterious events in the rest area, the strange things that happen in the mental hospital will be more frequent, and maybe even more weird.

Therefore, it was known in advance that the locals were rumored. The strange stories in the area of the mental hospital, and the reason for these strange stories, are still very happy.

Everyone can get some information from the locals, and how much it depends on the individual's communication skills. Even if I didn't come forward and ask. Just by listening to those who are open, you can know and you will know everything. In such a small town, the people's ability to keep secrets is still very strong, and of course they know what they can say and what they can't say. If someone says the wrong thing or does the wrong thing, even if it is a misunderstanding, it will make your position troublesome and embarrassing.

So, I don't think that the locals are telling the story of the local area, and I don't think that they can be allowed to tell them what they shouldn't be saying just because of a few drinks.

The news that could be obtained from the local population while waiting for boarding was quickly repeated. From the friendship with the locals to the repetition of the topic at the end, it feels like a group of people talking to the NPC over and over again in a role-playing game until the NPC's conversation repeats several times.

There are no shows in the evenings in this town, and the men in the store play games in the bar. However, it should be reminded that this restaurant is not a pure bar, and its main business during the day is fast food and coffee.

After the talk about the psychiatric hospital ended, in addition to those who had already mingled with the locals, the experts gathered again to talk about the seminar and the information about the psychiatric hospital. Until a person in charge ran in to inform everyone that it was time to board the ship.

The crowd poured out of the store, and we mingled in it, except for the people on our side, who were either silent or a little nervous, and everyone else around us seemed more excited.

The night breeze blew the hand lanterns, and the wind chimes under the eaves also came with a crisp sound, and in the eyes of the locals, we gathered and led the person in charge to the docks, and from time to time the experts came out from both sides of the road to join our team. Obviously, it is completely impossible to find them without dividing the troops, although the darkness is terrifying, and the streets illuminated by hand-lit lamps are full of warmth, but there are people who like to explore those things that are obviously fearful and exciting.

I think that in order to find people who don't know where to run, it's impossible not to use "mystery". Therefore, the enlistment of sparse members in the army proves the ability of these responsible persons themselves.

In front of the dock, the three people in charge also arrived and checked the number of people. There are forty-nine in all, one is not much, and one is not many. The fitness instructor and Mitsukasuo were finally able to look at it openly, and I felt that this was their intention to catch a certain "murderer" from the team by just observing it.

The ferries had been urgently cleaned by the crew during this time, but they could still smell a faint fishy smell, and the captains of the two ferries knew at a glance that they were a pair of brothers, about forty years old, each commanding three crew members to take care of chores and prepare to set sail. The person in charge shouted at them, and they put down the sampan from the ship, the style of the sampan and the way of boarding the ship are very old, but the space in the ship is quite large, and there is a roof on the deck to cover most of it, and under the night wind, the flag on the side of the ship is hunting, which makes people feel that the wind on the river is stronger, coupled with the clearer sound of flowing water, the sound of the river beating against the embankment and the hull, and suddenly there is a very strong, erosion from nature.

Ten minutes later, the hull of the ship left the dock and slowly sailed towards the middle of the river, a vague outline could be seen in the distance, and when there was still daylight, it could be seen that it was a sandbar with sparse trees at the edge, but at night it felt like a monster crawling in the water. The course of the ship seems to go around from the right. There were many people like me, leaning on the handrail of the ship's side, looking back at the town, and the lively street of the pier seemed to have become a lot quieter at this time, and soon only a dim light remained, as if the previous bustle was just a mirage, and there was a strange atmosphere.

I pulled out my phone and confirmed that the signal was still working. Then I took a photo, adjusted the scenery with a filter, and sent it back to the whisperer headquarters as a tourist souvenir.

The speed of the river was not rapid, and the size and shape of the ferry boat made it easy for people to stand on it without feeling too shaky, but shortly after the departure, some people got seasick. Fortunately, there were many experts on board, including several medical professionals, and after the initial diagnosis and medication, a storm came to an end.

"I feel a little dizzy, too." Mitsukasuo suddenly said to us, "Should I also go and ask for a medicine?" ”

"There's nothing to be ashamed of seasickness." The fitness instructor shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why do you even ask about such a thing?" ”

"I don't know......" Mitsukasuka hesitated for a moment and tried to explain: "I think it may not be seasickness, this dizziness is caused by other factors. However, it is difficult to tell because they are on the boat, and among those people, there are people who are really seasick, but I wonder if there are people who are just like me......"

"Like you, don't think it's seasickness?" Said the fitness trainer.

"Yes." Mitsukasukao replied affirmatively, as if he had made up his mind: "Is there any way to tell if you are seasick or not?" ”

"You're worried about the effects of drugs again?" Dr. Ruan Li asked, and immediately said, "You really need to pay attention, if you want, I can test your blood, urine and saliva." I had reached out to a couple of friends who had brought a portable analyzer that I was going to promote as a product. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry for you." The dark clouds on Mitsui Tsukafu's face suddenly dispersed a little, although others felt that they were a little suspicious, but, as Dr. Nguyen Li said, it could not deny the risk that "the murderer is on the boat and starts a new crime". In this state of mind, we accompanied Mitsui Tsukao to take samples for testing, and then asked the crew for a single room, of course, Dr. Nguyen Li also borrowed the analyzer, and the experts who made this portable analyzer and planned to sell it at the seminar also followed, a total of three people, all Russians, and they even brought quite a lot of reagents, solvents and reactants, which seemed to be researched by themselves, and presumably on the market, there are specializations in some targeted reactions, and the portable analyzers they designed and manufactured, which can achieve some special effects.

I don't know much about the technical terms in their mouths, except for Dr. Ruan Li, everyone else is also confused and doesn't know how to pretend to understand, but from the smiles in the eyes of the two experts, I know that the other party has actually seen it. When Dr. Nguyen Li communicated with them in Russian, there was a very strong professional aura, which made people with little knowledge subconsciously want to retreat, but because of this, it gave people extra confidence that they would definitely be able to come up with a credible result.
