Chapter 22: The Coming Battle

Conrad Lorenz, a prehistoric and civilized animal behavior scholar, pointed out that animals such as wolves or ravens, which have strong lethal abilities and live in society, have a corresponding innate ability to avoid killing their species. This is known as attack suppression. On the other hand, species such as rats and humans do not have strong aggression, but due to the imperfect inhibition of aggression, excessive attacks and killings between the same species often occur. Therefore, if humans with PK ability want to continue to live a social life as a group, it is indispensable to provide strong attack suppression. ”

"But how do you suppress attacks?" muttered to himself.

"The only way to do this is to genetically engineer humans. Scientists have deciphered the DNA of wolves, unraveling the genetic sequences that govern attack inhibition. It's just that just directly introducing wolf genes is not complete. The strength of the attack suppression must match the attack power. ”

"In other words, the attack inhibition given to humans is far greater than that of wolves, is it something so powerful that it is beyond the table?"

"Because of the lack of corresponding data, we can only speculate on the actual operation of genetic subs. However, there are two structures that are intended to be programmed into the human genome. One is the same normal attack suppression as wolves. The other is something called a 'shame institution'. ”

It could be seen from their expressions that several imps felt a strong impact. Since the time of Heguiyuan, several people have been learning the word shame death over and over again, and this concept has been deeply imprinted in their consciousness. Shameful death is the last way for everyone to accept death.

"Originally, the 'conscience mechanism' was conceived to complete the attack suppression, and it was an internal brain mechanism that interfered with mental concentration when a person wanted to use PK to attack a person. However, the effect of the institution was not stable and ultimately failed to materialize. Instead, we have developed a very simple but decisive "death mechanism". The sequence of action of the 'Shame Death Organ' is as follows: Initially, when the brain recognizes that the body intends to attack its own kind, it will unconsciously launch PK to stop the function of the kidneys and parathyroid. This leads to warning signs such as restlessness, throbbing, and sweating, which can also be reinforced by learning, external motivation, suggestion, etc. At this stage, almost all people stop aggressively and if they insist on continuing to attack, they will have seizures due to hypocalcemia, eventually death by suffocation, or cardiac arrest due to a surge in potassium in the blood. ”

"This ...... How could it be ......?" said sadly.

If this is the case, what is it that we have trusted so far? We have been taught that human beings are endowed with divine power because they possess supreme virtue. Could it be that in fact, human beings cannot restrain their cannibalistic nature without the reins of death, and are far inferior animals to wolves and ravens? "Almost everyone's hearts are pounding and rolling wildly.

"That's all a lie! It's all nonsense! Truth said through gritted teeth.

"However, it makes sense." Instant whispered.

"Do you believe what it says?" Although Morning Ji asked, he ignored her for a while, and continued to ask about Mock White.

“…… Did the demons come after this? Hearing the momentary question, Zaoji frowned. Although their problem did start with this, what does the current pseudo-white words have to do with evil spirits?

"It's not. Demons, also known as Raman Culocchius Syndrome, have been around since before the collapse of prehistoric civilizations. In addition, Hashimoto Apelubaum syndrome, known as karma, is also presumed to have appeared during the same period. However, in the following era of chaos, dark ages, and wars, these two diseases did not receive much attention. ”

Yuan Tianhua was also pondering the reason for this, in an era when violence ruled the world, death and bloodshed had long been the order of the day, and their existence was not so conspicuous. It is quite possible that this explanation is the true case.

At this time, Yuan Tianhua's keen sense of hearing brought by his strong physical fitness brought a message, and other people approached, and suddenly smiled, knowing that it was the monk who came, and the upcoming foreshadowed scene couldn't help but make Yuan Tianhua feel excited.

In other words, it was only after the birth of our society that evil spirits and karmic demons began to become conspicuous? However, our social system is now almost as if it was built to guard against evil spirits and karmic demons. Instant asked in a shrill voice.

"I can't answer the question of the current social system because I don't have the relevant information."

"But why can the evil spirit ...... the disgraced death agency just mentioned?"

"Slow, slow!" Jue said in a panic, "He may know, but we can't keep up with the topic." Devil...... What the hell is that Kulokius or something? And then what's the difference between that karma and an evil ghost? ”

"Raman Cullokius Syndrome, as its nickname suggests......"

A few imps were listening, but they never heard the following.

The tiger crab that was holding it was suddenly enveloped in a whirlpool of white-hot flames.

They hurriedly dodged without thinking and watched the course of events. Even the first-class stubborn tiger crab let go of the mimicry white and wanted to escape from the flames. Although it slammed forward with its large pincers, its body scraping against the ground, the supernatural flames did not abate in the slightest. The tiger crab made a sound like scratching glass, and its ten feet shrunk into a ball, and its whole body turned over, gradually unable to move.

Pseudo-white twisted desperately, secreting a large amount of foaming slime to extinguish the flames, but in the face of the karmic fire of hell, it was all in vain. Many of the tentacles were scorched and shrunk by the flames, turning black and charring. The rubbery skin that covered the whole body had many cavities under the high heat, and it burned out as I saw it.

After that, a strange figure appeared above the burning pseudo-white white.

It is the figure of a mother holding a small baby. It turned out to be a stereoscopic image. The mother looked at it with tears in her eyes and pleading. Several people, including Yuan Tianhua, became breathless, and then their bodies stiffened, and they couldn't move at all.

Incredibly, after the mother-child image appeared, the flame disappeared. However, it may be too late for this final trump card to be white. The image shimmered with a wonderful light, slowly dimmed, and finally disappeared completely.

Soon, like the tiger crab, they couldn't move. Its surface is charred black and emits a foul-smelling white smoke.

"Who ......," Satoru said hoarsely, glancing around us.

"Which who?" The dumbfounded Truth Ya asked rhetorically.

"Everybody saw what just happened. That way of burning is too out of the ordinary, and someone can only use magic to start the fire. Who did it! ”

The answer came from behind, and everyone was startled.

"It's me."

Looking back, there was a monk-like figure standing behind him. He was surprisingly tall, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. The top of his shaved head was blue, and his oval forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"It's a demagogic monster that is a delusion, and once discovered, it must be eliminated with fire. What the hell are you doing here? ”

"We are ......" I wanted to answer, but I didn't know how to answer for a while, and I was speechless.

"It's a summer camping trip back to the Tone River." Truth Asia came to the end.

"Did you get permission from the school to come this far?"

The monk-like man clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his expression became more and more grim. If you lie, things should get out of hand.

“…… Sorry, not licensed. We came here by accident without knowing it. Momentarily said cautiously.

"I see. Did you accidentally get here? Then, when I caught the crab to play, I accidentally caught this youkai, and finally unknowingly listened to the bewitchment of so many demons? ”

No one answered. In this situation, there is no excuse.

"I am the Lichen of the West Hall of the Pure Temple. I know very well about you. ”

The West Hall was the highest position of education in the temple, and I suddenly thought of the scene of this monk named Lichen sitting next to the Venerable Master at the coming-of-age ceremony of the Seisheiji Temple.

"You guys come with me to the temple. You can't go back without the instructions of the Venerable One. ”

"Wait, wait a minute. Before that, tell us one thing. Instantaneously pointed to the white wreckage.

"Is everything that guy says a lie?"

The other people were sweating for a while, so why do they have to ask such questions...... Sure enough, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Dust Master.

"You think it's true?"

"I don't know. It's so far from what we learn in school. But it's also very integrated. ”

The momentary words revealed our true thoughts. However, honesty is not necessarily a virtue in this context.

"You came here in violation of the rules, and you have listened to the devil's words. That alone is a grave sin, but that's not the problem. ”

The voice of the Dust Collector chilled our hearts.

"You have violated the 10th of the 10-fold precepts, which are the most fundamental ethical provisions: not to slander the Three Jewels. Listen to the voice of the devil and preach the teachings against the Buddha. That's why I have to freeze your mana. ”

Lichen took out what looked like a stack of papers from his bosom, and those were dolls folded out of two and a half sheets of paper. He took out five of them and placed them in front of everyone.

Seeing Sanskrit and other strange characters written on the head and body of the doll is reminiscent of the rituals at the Pure Mosque. The moment when the Master of Sight sealed his mana.

No, a couple and a half years old thought. Only the loss of mana is absolutely not necessary. The feeling of powerlessness and emptiness that everything was empty before graduating from Heguiyuan, and I don't want to face it a second time. However, there is no regret pill in the world.

"From now on, seal your mana in this puppet!" So declared the Dust Leaver.

"Set up your own dolls."

Morning Ji stood up the doll in front of her, and suddenly, a stream of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Aonuma instant! Akizuki Maria! Asahina Satoru! Mamoru Ito! Watanabe early season! The Dust Leaver let out a sound like a mountain and a river.

"Your mana freezes here!"

Countless needles were released from the hands of the dust master. The needles seemed to form a colony of red sparrows, flying precisely towards the five figures, piercing the head, torso, and limbs.

"Burn everything...... Troubles are ruined...... Ash ...... to the boundless wasteland," the Dust Master whispered a incantation, and the five puppets burned up and disappeared in an instant.

"Deceptive. This is just a hint. There's no way you're just going to be unable to use mana. The hint used to take effect because I was too young to control my mana. Mana is entirely mine now. How could anyone take it away! ”

Early season tried his best to think like this to drive away the hints. However, the Dust Leaver's freezing ritual is not over yet.

"You must remember the matter of taking refuge in the gods and Buddhas in the Pure Mosque and giving up your mantras. The infallible mantra of the Venerable Master who bestowed upon you the proof of the great day of mercy has summoned a new spirit and granted you spell power once again. The voice of the Dust Master became deeper and deeper, and even brought an ominous voice that penetrated the bottom of his heart.

"However, the elves have turned away from you, and the mana has disappeared. Remember, and you will not recall the truth again. ”

I'm afraid that during the coming-of-age ceremony, a mechanism of suggestion has already been planted in everyone's subconscious. When accepting new hints, you can use this mechanism to manipulate people's minds freely.

For the children at that time, it had a magical effect. The mantra that had occupied the center of consciousness until a moment disappeared cleanly.

Early Season looked at everyone as if looking for the last straw, but they also fell into the same situation. Jue's expression twisted and he shook his head at her, as if he was about to cry.

"Alright, let's go." The Dust Master glanced at a few people with the eyes of a domestic animal.

"Don't be slow, you have to get to the temple before sunset."

And Yuan Tianhua continued to perform a stiff crying expression, with the meaning of looking at a dead man in his eyes, looking at the dust teacher, "What a poor person, what a pathetic person." ”

and an excited thirst for the upcoming battle.
