#16 Overlook (Medium)

This is...... What's the situation?

Looking through the crowd that was not very dense and numb, I could see that the girl, who had been like an angel descending before, was now distorted and collapsed in a burst of red and white liquid, face down, only a long brown hair mixed with blood.

In the blink of an eye, there was such a huge contrast in what I saw that I couldn't react for a while. Jump? Blood mixed with brain pulp splashed all over the ground? Well, I'll admit that I've seen such scenes from some curious anime and CG, but it's the first time I've seen a three-dimensional girl fall from the upper floor and turn into a puddle of blood and strange meat.

I even began to wonder if I was hallucinating.

Soon, the scream of an unknown girl woke everyone present from their surprise, and of course I was also awakened. I saw that the people in the square seemed to see a demon, and immediately screamed and scattered in a mess. In the midst of the chaos, a large open field was quickly cleared.

Only a little girl fell into it and was overwhelmed, but was quickly picked up by her family. In the huge square, only the distorted corpse of the girl was particularly eye-catching.

We were standing at the entrance of the mall, far away from the jumping girl, so we didn't need to move much. But the crowd gathered around us, many with horror written on their faces and eyes widening to repeat a few words.

"Focus! Concentrate ......"

Of course, there are also some people who seem to be used to this kind of thing, and they are talking to themselves with lingering feelings.

"It's good that the fool jumped down from the stairs."

"Don't be stupid and don't affect us......"

"Those who always tout spiritual culture have a sick brain......"

……

Listening to the cacophony of words in my ears, I finally came back to my senses from this series of strange events. The palpitating conversations around me made me seem to understand something.

Uncle once said that spiritual culture will make human beings unable to control their own spiritual interference force field and go berserk, and what I just saw seems to be a living example.

Originally, I just thought that this society looked more plain, but the incident of the girl jumping off the building and the reaction of the people made me see something deeper in this society - ordinary people in this era seem to be tied to the arrow on the string, and everyone has been watching out for something.

Rather than being wary of the Demons we encountered on our return from Earth, these civilians who had never been to the battlefield seemed to be more afraid of humanity itself.

But I wasn't sure my guess was wrong, so I looked at Uncle Captain and saw that he was frowning at the girl's corpse with a sigh in his eyes. I tugged at his clothes and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"That girl's spirit was polluted, and the mental interference force field went away." The uncle sighed and said, "I didn't expect this sad thing to happen again just after returning to Flodia. ”

"......" I also bowed my head and observed a moment of silence for the girl. It's a pity that a girl who is in the flowering season lost her life because of such a thing. Looking at the reactions of the people around me, I can predict that similar things have happened many times, and everyone has already developed a way to deal with them, and it seems that they are used to it.

Moreover, everyone's reaction to the passing of such a life was actually cold and mocking, even disgusted. Looking around, except for the captain and uncle, I didn't see anyone feel pity for the death of such a young girl!

Such a world...... It's simply horrible!

I can use the phrase "It's not me who is wrong with me" to describe my current mood!

Even though I still feel like I'm in the middle school, I want to change the world more and more.

Gotta figure out how this happened! So, I pulled the corner of my uncle's clothes again, lowered my head and asked, "What is spiritual pollution?" Why is she mentally polluted? ”

I remember hearing the term "mental pollution" when I first woke up, but I didn't hear the explanation.

"Mental pollution?" The captain frowned, and explained like a textbook: "Regarding spiritual pollution, the official explanation of the Alliance Government is: because the human spirit has been invaded by illegal spiritual culture, it has lost itself and lost its humanity, causing its words and deeds to be strange and do all kinds of dangerous things, and endanger the clinical symptoms of society. ”

"It's good if you just say you're crazy......" That's how I understood that sentence, so I frowned.

"Madness is not contagious, but mental pollution is." The uncle frowned and explained: "The mental interference force field of people who are mentally polluted will be uncontrollably released, and not only that, but the strength of their mental interference force field will be many times stronger because of the pollution. The mental interference force field they emitted is the source of pollution, and anyone who is not strong or lacks strength within the enveloping of their mental interference force field will be invaded spiritually. ”

"People who are not strong in their will and lack strength will be invaded by the source of pollution, and they will hear or see something very inducing, until they lose themselves and lose their humanity, so that the next polluter will appear." The captain looked at the girl's corpse and sighed.

"Well, people who are mentally polluted...... What will happen? I asked, clenching my fists.

"It's related to the type of contamination received." Uncle Captain continued: "The lighter ones may just behave abnormally, dementia and stupidity, and they can be restored to normal through treatment such as brainwashing. But heavier ones...... It can wreak havoc and kill people...... Or suicide. ”

"Hiss......" I couldn't help but take a breath.

"The coalition government has a special organization to deal with those who are contaminated, and they will be subdued first. But if you can't subdue it, probably ...... I'll consider killing him. Speaking of this, Uncle Captain sighed again, and said with some palpitations: "I was also disturbed a little just now, it is really a powerful source of pollution." Fortunately, she jumped to her death, otherwise at least some people here would have been polluted. That's when it ...... Trouble. ”

"Will you jump off the building en masse?" I guessed boldly. To be honest, I also felt the girl's intrusive laughter, but it didn't have any effect after all.

"Yes. If the pollution she was exposed to would only make her unconsciously jump off the building, then the behavior of the other polluted people would be consistent with the source of the pollution. The uncle looked at the girl's body, and then at the building she had jumped from.

Suddenly, a bad premonition came up......

That is to say...... Maybe she wasn't the only one jumping down the stairs? I asked hurriedly.

"If there are other people who are contaminated, then theoretically...... That's it. ”

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the crowd: "There are still people on the roof, and they are about to jump down again!" ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked up. My pupils suddenly shrank, and I saw a graceful figure in a skirt standing on the edge of the roof on the building more than 300 meters high, slowly opening her hands.

It was a girl who was avant-garde for the people of this age - she had short fluffy hair in a shawl that reflected pink in the sun, she was dressed in a white plush coat, her plaid skirt fluttered in the air, and her black stockings outlined a pair of slender legs.

…… At this time, she opened her hand and leaned forward gently. Seem...... It is overlooking scenery to enjoy.

But this seems to us...... It's suicide!
