Chapter 50: Lao Liu
Yao Bing and Rentou had a conversation, but because of the barrier of the container, the voices could not be transmitted to each other. I looked at it for a long time and found something unusual about it, the human head in the container couldn't read or couldn't receive the outside information at all. Regardless of whether Yao Bing used Japanese or gestured, the communication between the head and him was not smooth, and he was not even in the same rhythm at all.
The head says the head, and Yao Bing says Yao Bing's.
This phenomenon is very strange, and what struck me the most is that it seems to be an exchange between two worlds, a dialogue between life and death, and it is fundamentally a chicken and a duck.
Yang Muyun also saw it and asked Yao Bing to stop communicating. Just look at what the head says.
After looking at it for a while, Dr. Chan wondered, "His mouth seems to be saying the same word over and over again." ”
Yao Bing nodded: "Yes, he said the Japanese word for 'videotape'." ”
Dr. Chen touched his chin and suddenly came to his senses, "I understand. ”
"What's wrong?" Yang Muyun asked.
"Actually, this head doesn't think for itself," he said. ”
"But he did speak." I said confusedly.
Dr. Chan said, "Parrots can also talk, do you think they have the same consciousness as humans?" ”
One sentence said I was out of power. Yang Muyun was calm: "Tell me your opinion." ”
Dr. Chan stared at the container and said, "This head is kind of like a tape recorder. He paused, then organized his language and said, "The electric stimulation is equivalent to powering this tape recorder, he just said something according to the pre-programmed program, and the head itself does not think." ”
Yao Bing looked at the head and did not speak.
I asked, "So we can't communicate with him?" ”
Dr. Chen nodded: "I can probably guess a thing or two about the mechanism." The human head speaks, but under the stimulation of electric currents, his nerves and muscles vibrate according to a specific program, forming a mouth shape and transmitting information. Even if we plugged in the sound output device, we couldn't hear him, and there was no larynx or vocal cords at all. ”
Yang Muyun smiled: "Little Japan can really figure it out, as for whether it is so complicated, it is not enough to write it directly into a document." ”
I suddenly realized: "Uncle Yang, the 'videotape' that the head said is the scene where the photographer went into the underworld to shoot?" ”
Yang Muyun frowned, and then slapped his thigh: "It must be." Does the tape still exist? Be sure to find it. ”
"Wait." Yao Bing waved his hand: "Look." ”
The head in the container suddenly changed its mouth, and instead of repeating the "videotape", it said something new. This sentence is particularly long and contains a lot of vocabulary. After saying a word, there were more and more bubbles in the liquid, and the expression of the human head also changed drastically, and the muscles trembled very much.
"What did he say?" Yang Muyun asked anxiously.
Yao Bing looked intently: "'Soul', 'brain', 'matter' ......"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Yang Muyun looked very anxious.
Yao Bing waved his hand and motioned for him not to speak: "Wait, there are other words, this sentence is more complicated." ”
The man said the whole sentence word by word, his mouth kept opening and closing, and the liquid "gurgled" down his mouth and came out from under his neck. The blood vessels on the face are swelling more and more, like purple earthworms, which is particularly scary. It makes people unbearable and disgusting.
Yao Bing took out a pen and paper and wrote down some words from memory. After reading it a few times, he said, "If I am right, this sentence should be something like this: 'The greatest defect of the soul is the inability to use its physical brain.'" The soul can use the brains of living people, but the consciousness interferes. This is a pure soul receiver. ’”
As soon as this sentence came out, several people present were silent.
Dr. Chan asked slowly, "What does it mean when this sentence says, 'This is a pure soul receiver'?" What does 'this a machine' refer to? ”
I pointed to the human head, and suddenly I felt a shudder, and stumbled and said, "It's talking about itself." ”
Yang Muyun analyzed: "Is this not just a tape recorder, but also a receiver? ”
This conclusion can be called incredible, Yao Bing stared at the piece of paper in his hand and was silent.
"If this were a receiver, I would have an idea." I say.
Yang Muyun looked at me.
Recently, I've been a paddling and soy sauce player, and I'm a little embarrassed to be reluctantly called to a high-level meeting. It's not that I don't want to contribute, it's that everything that's happening now is like a dream, it's beyond my scope of cognition, and I can't put forward constructive suggestions at all.
Now I have an idea, I have the intention of being pretentious, and I also want to find a sense of existence.
I said, "The monkey's symptoms now are very similar to those of evil spirits, and I don't know what is possessed." Since this human head is a soul receiver, we might as well take it to the monkey and see if we can receive anything. ”
Yang Muyun said that you can try.
He arranged for someone to bring the monkey. At this time, the monkey was sleeping, and there was no such terrible expression on its face, as if the possessed thing had gone.
Everyone in the tent looked at each other, how to try this thing?
Yang Muyun asked the bodyguard to put the head in the container and the battery next to the monkey, so that the face was facing him. We sat around and waited.
Minutes and seconds passed, and there was no change in the human head. Yang Muyun made a gesture: "Increase the current and try." ”
The bodyguard twisted the button a little bit, and the muscles of Mizube Kishijiro's face trembled and intensified, and his expression became very weird, as if he was smiling but not laughing, as if he was angry but not angry, and his whole head seemed to be expanding.
Yao Bing said: "It can't be bigger!" He couldn't take it anymore. ”
Yang Muyun motioned for the bodyguard to stop. A strange phenomenon immediately appeared, although the current stopped, the expression of the human face did not recover, and the muscles still maintained a very large angle.
The whole face looks very paradoxical, as if the muscles on the face are completely frozen in the most exaggerated moment.
We looked at each other, and none of us wanted this to happen. Dr. Chen subconsciously reached out and patted the glass surface on the outside of the container, and the human head with his eyes tightly closed suddenly opened his eyes and looked out viciously.
It is not an exaggeration at all, at that moment, I suddenly felt the temperature in the entire tent drop sharply, and I felt an inexplicable chill all over my body. Out of pure instinct, I grabbed Dr. Chan and pulled him aside.
The facial expressions of the people in the container began to change, the corners of the mouth turned up slightly, and the mouth slowly opened wide, forming a huge black nest. The two eyes were deeply sunken, and a large amount of fluid actually seeped into the corners of the eyes, and the eye sockets looked like two black holes.
The liquid in the container is like steaming boiling water, and bubbles are tumbling and "gurgling" up from the mouth and two eye sockets of the human head.
Yang Muyun was shocked: "This expression! Isn't it the expression of a dry corpse wearing a helmet underneath? ”
I hurriedly said, "This receiver has worked, it must have received something brought out by the monkey." ”
The scene is filled with an indescribable atmosphere of horror, and what happens seems to be between science and metaphysics. The human head specimen, which was preserved by scientific methods, actually received a mysterious and terrifying ghost message.
The human head became more and more terrifying, and the eyes and mouth were completely three black holes, and the strange visual effect was really creepy.
These are not the most terrifying, I looked at this face, and shivered all over, and a stream of cold air rushed through my body like an electric current.
I've not only seen this face, but I've seen it many times. Distant memories began to revive, and I thought of many, many things from before.
The first time I saw this face was in the Yin-Yang view of the garden complex building, where there was a huge curtain that hung from the ceiling to the ground. There are a lot of grimaces drawn on it, similar to the pattern of a scream, which is the face in front of you.
The second time was when Brother Peng was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital, and the cause of this was that he painted all the walls and floors of his house with black paint, and the face was also painted on it.
The third time was in Hong Chen's ancestral hall, when she told us that this thing was called the Three-Eyed Ghost King.
I stared at the face in the container, and everything around me seemed to be gone. This face took up all the space in my mind, and it seemed as if the world I was in had disappeared.
In the dark, I suddenly had a strange idea that was extremely unreasonable. I don't think it's an accident that this face appears, it's like a sign that runs through my entire recent life experience. Someone seems to be using this method to imply something to me.
I pondered it and felt that this idea was too idealistic. There is a mental illness in psychology where the sick person thinks that the whole world is born because of him and extends because of him. I have some of these delusions right now. The world I live in now seems to confuse the logic of reality with the logic of thinking. In layman's terms, everything I have experienced seems to be an extension of my thinking.
This idea was not a temporary idea for me, but it was born very early. I always feel that what I have experienced is a sense of contradiction with the logic of reality, because many details and developments are not very reasonable, very bizarre and bizarre. To use a metaphor that is not quite appropriate, I feel like a character who has been created in a story.
It seems that when this expedition is over and when I get home, I will have to find a psychiatrist to adjust it. In this way, I feel a bit of a precursor to schizophrenia.
Just as I was deep in thought, suddenly the head of the person in the container moved, and he was slowly turning his head.
This sudden change pulled me into reality. Looking at these real people in the tent, I was thrilled and said that this is my world. Actually doubting the real world, is this a sign of mental illness? A cold sweat broke out on my head.
At this time, all the people in the tent were staring at the container. The human head is full of electrodes, and there is no neck strength to support it, so it is determined to die wherever it is headed, how can it be rotated? But now it's happening!
The head, which started with the monkey at first, is now slowly turning to face us.
His mouth moved, as if to say something.
Yang Muyun patted Yao Bing: "Quick, what did he say?" ”
Yao Bing read slowly, puzzled: "It doesn't seem to be Japanese, what he said is 'Lao Niu' and 'Lao Niu'?" ”
I chuckled in my heart, and at that moment my brain felt like it had been hit by a heavy object, and the whole thing went blank. The human head said: "Lao Liu." ”
