Not long ago, in order to defend against the hallucinogenic reactions that may be preserved, we took drugs specially formulated for me, a mentally ill person, which were drugs that targeted nerves and hormones and were full of side effects on the body of ordinary people. Even if Dr. Nguyen Li preliminarily examines the individual's physique and makes targeted adjustments, it is impossible to completely eliminate those negative reactions that may exist, after all, no one will carry those bulky professional equipment on this journey, and it is impossible to achieve as objective verification as possible. Judging from the results alone, the medicine seems to be effective, not simply at the time, when the gray fog faded a little - the sight that, from the aftermath of the situation, is more like a trap - but because of Dr. Nguyen Lê's reaction.

Regardless of whether Dr. Nguyen Li is the embodiment of the "mysterious inhibition force" of this repeater world, her resistance to "mystery" is much stronger than others, and this conclusion is completely certain. When, like us, she felt the gray mist-filled dead silence at the beginning of the period, it proved that there was not only a "mystery" at that time, but, as guessed, a non-mystical hallucinogenic reaction interfering with personal perception.

So, after Dr. Nguyen Li took the medicine, the hallucinogenic reaction was suppressed, and she saw a completely different scene from ours. Although we have taken the same medicine, however, we have no resistance to the "mystery", so we still fall into the "anomaly".

This qiē is not a question of who is right or wrong between Dr. Nguyen Li and us. Staying in the same resting place, and still acting together, seeing different scenes, and being interfered with by what they see, but not by what others are in, just like "reality". It was cut in half at that moment. For human beings, the existence that can interfere with itself is "reality". It's just that in the circumstances of the time, "reality" can be seen as more than one, and I and others, including Dr. Nguyen Lê. Holding on to the "reality" that we can experience and feel is the source of our differences.

I can understand this situation, which is different from the "reality" for myself and for Dr. Nguyen Li. Even if you insist on your own correctness, you can't deny the correctness of the other person when you put yourself in the other person's shoes.

However, I have thought for a long time about the biggest reason for this disagreement, although I cannot deny that "mystery" has always been at work, even if it is the "reality" that Dr. Nguyen Le faces. There is also a kind of hidden "mystery" in itself, but what plays the biggest role in it should be the hallucinogenic reaction.

At that time, it was not possible to determine whether there was really a hallucinogenic reaction, and what kind of substance caused the hallucinogenic reaction, but it was only a hypothesis that was most acceptable to the people of the time. But after going through a lot more and looking back, what it really was back then. caused a difference between us, the only "illusion" that could be thought of. On the contrary, it was confirmed that it was stored in zài.

In many cases, "mystery" arises in the form of hallucinations. However, the concept of "mystery" and illusion in science is not the same in nature, and the illusion produced by "mystery". It can directly affect matter, but the concept of illusion in science can only affect people's actions from the side at most. When the "mysterious" is mixed with hallucinogenic reactions of normal scientific nature, then. After the hallucinogenic reaction is resolved, it often creates the feeling that "this is not an illusion" and strengthens the sensitivity to "mystery".

I also took the drug, and in the second mutation after that, the difference in the reactions of Dr. Nguyen Le and the soothsayer and others was here.

For the first time, we are affected by both hallucinogenic reactions and mysteries.

After taking the medicine, the hallucinogenic reaction was temporarily suppressed, but except for Dr. Ruan Li, everyone else still did not get rid of the "mystery", so the scene of the gray mist fading was not about to return to normal, but still in the abnormality.

At that time, we got together, we could see each other, and we heard the same gunshots. However, at that time, Dr. Nguyen Le was different from the "reality" we were in. Dr. Nguyen Li has returned to the normal world, and we are still in the temporary hedging space, although in terms of coordinates, we can be said to be "together", and we can even hold hands with each other and talk to each other, however, this is not a scientific theoretical problem of "time" and "space", but a mysterious conceptual problem of "reality" and "existence", which are not materialized by nature, but philosophized by consciousness.

This strange situation is the true embodiment of mysterious power.

Compared to the situation at that time, what I see now is a little different. I still vividly remember what I did before the situation became what it was - I took the initiative to jump into the deep rift, pursued by the Night Raven Quark, and carried out a high-intensity consciousness walk in three seconds, trying to use the power of consciousness to reach the source of the apocalyptic illusion structure retrograde, and adjust or eliminate the "mysterious" adjustment or elimination of the abnormal state of the guide resting point - I was not sure if I could do it at the time, but I had already expected that once I successfully entered this high-intensity consciousness walk, The details of what happened after that probably won't be remembered. In fact, the process of "adjustment" or "elimination" in the process of consciousness walking, and the process of tracing the origin of the construction of the apocalyptic illusion, is completed in a state of "unconscious" nine times out of ten.

Now, all I remember is that I pushed open door after door, and when I was a little conscious, I was already standing in the corridor that was full of gates on both sides. It was a dangerous place, and terror was chasing me. When I escaped from the corridor, I saw the scene at this moment: the gray fog was completely gone, and although the moonlight was repeatedly obscured by the fast-moving clouds, it was cleaner and clearer than the "normal" that I saw after taking the medicine, and I felt a very profound feeling of waking up from a nightmare.

At night, I don't know what time it is, there are sounds everywhere, not only the sound of the wilderness, but also the sound of cars starting, and as for people's activities, they are even more frequent. I didn't even need to turn my head to see the lights on the roadway a hundred meters away, which stood out in the shadows of the night.

The clean world, without a trace of fog, seems to have begun to fill the fog before the gray fog is generated. Just an illusion.

I'm also not sure if the fog that was generated before I was swept into the temporary hedging space was an illusion, and if it was, it was. Everyone who was at the rest point at that time must have fallen into a hallucination, so they didn't notice it. Moreover, it must be a simple effect of hallucinogenic reactions, because Dr. Nguyen Le also experienced the same weather.

It is possible that, as Dr. Nguyen Le and the others guessed, the initial mist was filled with hallucinogenic substances, which led people to do so at that time. hallucinations, and then they were involved in the "mystery". The whole mystery of the event has a not-so-clear vein.

When I entered the consciousness walk, I wanted to do something that was "to solve the mysterious events that enveloped the entire resting point", so in theory, including the temporary number jù hedging space, the Night Raven Quark, and the alienated Youjiang who didn't know where to hide, were all within the scope of the target. But. It really amazed me that I could do this kind of thing.

There is no doubt about the strength of the alienated right river. Due to its peculiarity, even when I decided to do a high-intensity consciousness walk, I didn't think about the chances of banishing it.

Nowadays, all the "mysteries" are gone, and the mysteries are no longer there. In this way, the solution was completely solved at that time that had already existed zài. And all the potential troubles - whatever the man behind the scenes wants to continue to do here, when the means he uses are "mysterious", he has already failed.

This is a violent purification that can only be accomplished by good luck. In my opinion, it's the best choice. But. Thinking back to the situation at that time, I also sweated for myself. Even now, my intuition tells me that a qiē has returned to normal, annoying opponents, cunning black hands, and mysteries that have been deepening have all been banished. However, emotionally I still find it unbelievable, and intellectually, because there are still many doubts, I can't completely believe that this is the case.

When I stepped on the ground, there was always the illusion that it would become slimy in the next moment—it should be just an illusion, because it was impossible to create a "mystery" of the original intensity without pre-arrangement. Now that all the "mysteries" have been expelled and all the arrangements for the "mysteries" have been abolished, the enemy must find another time if they want to reappear. And we, at the slowest of all, will leave here after the sun rises.

I think that if there are still people seeing "anomalous things" at this time, then it can be simply assumed that they have not yet escaped the hallucinogenic reaction.

As for the whereabouts of Night Raven Quark and the Alienated Youjiang who have never appeared, I don't want to pay attention to it for the time being. Anyway, judging from their mystery, it should be impossible to kill them with a mere high-intensity consciousness walk.

As long as the two did not attack this place in the first place, it can probably be considered that they have given up.

As for the reason for the renunciation, it doesn't matter for the moment - if the renunciation is still for a longer-term plan, then sooner or later, it will involve me again.

Before that day comes, it's better to assume that you have achieved a phased victory. When I told myself, my heart warmed up again, and the unknown future, in the known clues, had begun to show its teeth and claws, making people feel a terrifying inevitability. When I think about the enemy I have to face, I can't help but feel that I am not unprepared, but that all my preparations, in front of it, have become so pale and weak. In such a situation, only a staged victory, even if it is only a trivial victory that depends on luck, can prevent people from completely despairing.

Shinrikyo Doomsday, the Nazis, and other occult organizations must be hurrying to unfold their plans while I'm relaxed. The interlocking conspiracy will never stop here, and I can only passively meet those storms. But even so, I don't use fatigue as an excuse to turn my back on them.

"The ability is still lacking, but it's okay......" I clenched my fists, very nostalgic for the days when I had a sword-like critical weapon in my hand.

Ahead, in the crowd that seemed particularly excited because something had happened, there were Dr. Ruan Li and others. It's late at night, but how many people can sleep soundly in the hotel? From time to time, people leave the crowd of onlookers and walk towards the parking lot, which has already been departed by cars, and it seems that they have decided to hit the road overnight. I observed the details, including the expressions on people's faces: anger, confusion, horror, worry, obviously. What has happened is unsettling.

Should these people be equally immersed in the displacement reaction and the "mystery", is it the after-effects of that time?

Dr. Nguyen Li and the others had already lost track of me when I confronted Night Raven Quark. It was reassuring to see them unharmed now. On the other hand, they can't help but wonder, do they remember that they were involved in a mysterious event?

I stepped forward and patted Mitsukasuo on the shoulder. He was nearly killed by Night Raven Quark. Even now, I can be sure that the anomaly at that time was caused by the fragmentation of "personal reality", but I still can't guess the whole situation and the cause from my own perspective. It is difficult to describe the mystery that arises only because of the difference in the "observer" itself. I didn't notice it at first glance that it was Night Raven Quark who attacked. I don't feel the need to worry about it.

However, it was precisely because he didn't realize that the opponent was Night Raven Quark at the first time, so whether it was Mitsui Tsukafu, who was selected as the target by it, or Dr. Ruan Li, who paid attention to it in his own reality. These are extremely dangerous situations.

The wound I was cut from by it has not fully healed until now. It launched a surprise attack with a quick sweep. It almost disemboweled.

When Mitsukasu looked back at me, his gaze was a little glazed, but it was soon filled with extremely strong feelings.

"It's you, Takakawa, you're finally back!" He punched me in the chest with no heaviness.

Others also reacted - fitness trainers, soothsayers, and Dr. Nguyen Lê, the expressions on these faces. It all made me feel that I had done nothing wrong.

Even Dr. Ruan Li was visibly relieved. I don't know, it's only time for me to face off against Night Raven Quark, what it looks like to them. What is the situation?

"What the hell is going on? The strangely dressed assailant ......," the soothsayer asked.

"I don't know the guy." I shook my head and didn't say anything about the situation of the Night Raven Quark, because its existence involves many secrets, and these secrets are just nonsense in the eyes of many people, and even if you take the time to explain it, there are probably very few people who can really understand and believe it. I have written about the topic in my diary, and Dr. Ruan Li has read it, but I don't think it's true. The others probably reacted in the same way, even though they did encounter an anomaly and almost died at the hands of something inhuman.

"What's going on here?" I didn't want to talk too much about the Night Raven Quark, so I shifted the conversation to the scene.

As far as the eye could see, someone was packing something like a corpse into a black plastic bag. It should be that someone died, and after experiencing such a strange situation before, the appearance of the dead was expected. However, the person who is doing the work is not a police officer at all, and he has no intention of protecting the scene of the murder at all. There are a few people who are very familiar with each other, and they should be from the town around the rest point, and the shop pù of this rest point is run by them.

Some of the onlookers were pointing at them, listening to their words, and there was not much condemnation, but they were worried for some other reason. People who are really afraid because of the murder have already planned to leave. Some of the experts invited to the seminar also planned to talk to the driver and the person in charge, but no one saw where the two had gone. As to who the murderer was, these experts also divided into several opinions.

"That should be a repeat offender." The fitness trainer voiced his opinion: "I mean, serial killers. ”

"If it's a serial killer, it's a happy criminal." Mitsukasuo asked me, "Takakawa, do you know what a happy prisoner is?" Probably because he had returned to his normal environment, his emotions were quite excited, and his brain and mouth became more neat. I don't know what kind of situation they were like when they returned to normal from the anomaly, but they seemed to think that I had experienced it myself, so there was no need to explain it.

"I can't remember the specific concept, but I guess it's someone who can feel joy from crime, right?" I replied calmly.

"Almost." Mitsukasuo nodded and said, "The murderer's dress and killing methods have extremely rich personal styles. Transvestism is also a very common trait among serial killers, but the use of hallucinogenic drugs to create a hunting ground is quite special. Ms. Nguyen, you've done some research on this as well, right? ”

Dr. Nguyen Le glanced at him and said, "In the cases I have studied, there have indeed been psychopathic murderers who injected their victims to death, but it is indeed extremely rare to attack a group of people at the same time. From this point of view, it is true that he is different from other patients who kill people with drugs, but this does not mean that the murderer this time is a mental patient, a happy criminal who loves to commit crimes. As for the evidence, I don't have it, but the key to the inference is that the drug he used - the hallucinogenic reaction was so strong that it seemed that the prisoner was not as crazy as he seemed. ”

"In other words, because of the excellence of the weapon, the murderer decided to attack a group of people at the same time?" The soothsayer said, "It makes sense, but I still don't think it's appropriate." ”

"It's all about the medicine." The fitness coach suddenly interjected: "Maybe, the other party is just a mad scientist, want to try a newly invented drug, how far can he go?" ”

Mitsukasuka looked at the fitness instructor with an exaggerated expression of shock and said, "Are you sure that this scientist is not a mental patient?" ”

"Actual combat testing of new weapons, and illegal clinical trials of new drugs, is what happens all the time in this world." The fitness coach said: "I am very sure that the person who chooses to do this is not a mental patient, but just a person with a wrong outlook. ”

Dr. Ruan Li very much agrees with the fitness coach's statement: "If it is a new drug invented by oneself, but there is no way to carry out formal clinical practice, the risk of treating passers-by as experimental subjects is also a problem, especially for those who are desperate and have invested a lot of effort in their own research, only the last step can not be completed, which is the most fatal blow, so it is very common to turn into criminals." ”

"I really haven't heard of any psychedelics that can do this." The soothsayer said, "There is a great possibility that it is a new medicine." White Claudia? ”

"Maybe." Dr. Nguyen Li glanced at the plants in the plastic bag where the zài was kept: "No, I can't draw conclusions yet." However, I think the seminar will be happy to help with this. ”

"So everyone's conclusion is unanimous?" I couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of the strong hallucinogenic reaction that caused the current situation?" ”

"To be precise, it was a serial murder after a strong hallucinogenic substance was introduced. The prisoner has a clear purpose in his actions, but the victim is probably not specific. In other words, it is not entirely specific, and in the course of the operation, it is likely that the target has been changed many times according to the actual situation. He may have mental problems, however, it is not yet certain. After we took the medicine, because of the different physiques, the effect was not the same, and the hallucinations were not completely eliminated. Obviously, even if it was such a strange situation at the time, once the matter was over, it was still possible to find an explanation that was more in line with their common sense after the fact.

I don't think there's anything wrong with them doing that. It doesn't matter how you want to understand your situation now, because the "mystery" here has disappeared for the time being.

It is very normal to be in a normal world and look at things with normal thinking.

However, in my eyes, there is no place where there is no "abnormal" and "mysterious". I can't go back to my old routine like they did.

"Of all, yours has the strongest hallucinogenic reaction." Dr. Nguyen Le said to me, "What did you see when you left? ”

She asked, presumably when I was quarantined and fought Raven Quark alone. Before that, could they still see me from the back of the convenience store? (To be continued......)
