When Shen Yan opened the door of the warehouse again, he felt less afraid of experiencing such an encounter.
Fortunately, Ding Ding is still there, and he is not lacking.
There are no sequelae.
Then continuing the topic just now, Shen Yan told today's experience one by one.
Zhao Kuo frowned.
"Old documents suddenly appeared and then disappeared without a trace after being infected?"
Shen Yan nodded quickly: "It's like someone deliberately left old documents at the door for me to pick up, and then erased the evidence after I was infected."
Old documents will not grow on their own, there must be a pair of hands arranging all this.
"But...why?" Shen Yan asked doubtfully again.
His circle is very small, he has only been in the Mercenary City for a short time, and the only people he knows are members of the Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group, so it is impossible to offend anyone.
Zhao Kuo pondered for a while and said: "Your accident is very similar to the infected people who have recently appeared in the city."
They were all infected for no reason and without any warning, and the source of infection could not be found, without any clues.
Shen Yan muttered: "Am I one of the unlucky ones?"
If this was the case, he would be the only one among these unlucky ones to survive, and it could be inferred that the source of infection that could not be found in these cases in the city might be the old documents Shen Yan saw today.
Thinking like this, Shen Yan wanted to scold her: "Why are you throwing old documents around when you have nothing to do?"
How dark a person's psychology is before he can spread mental infection to the detriment of others without benefiting himself.
Zhao Kuo kept frowning and said nothing.
Some people collect old documents as priceless treasures, and some people try every means to get rid of them like hot potatoes. But I have never heard of someone using them to randomly infect people, breaking everyone's bottom line.
What does the other party want to do?
The clues seemed to hit a dead end.
At this time, Shen Yan suddenly had an idea and said, "Have you heard of the second law of pollutants?"
Zhao Kuo: "?"
Seeing Zhao Kuo's expression, Shen Yan knew the answer to the question directly and said: "The second law says that the source of pollutants is conserved. Every time it infects a person, its pollution capacity will decrease. The reason why Such a pattern cannot be clearly found because the pollutants themselves are constantly absorbing pollutant elements in the air for replenishment, creating an illusion that they will never be consumed."
At this time, Shen Yan mentioned what he had read in his diary about the second law of pollutants developed by "Giant" because he suddenly thought of a possible motive for the murderer.
Shen Yan continued: "Do you think it's possible that the other party wants to study old documents, but is afraid of the infection ability above?"
"So the old documents are used to infect people at will, and when the infection power of the old documents weakens to a safe range, before it has replenished enough pollution elements from the air, the purpose of research can be achieved with confidence... …”
Following Shen Yan's voice, Zhao Kuo's brows furrowed. He couldn't help but think of what the little old man Kriti had mentioned, that all cities had been secretly studying old documents recently.
At that time, he still wondered how these people could avoid the unknowable, unpredictable and nameless dangers of old documents.
If what Shen Yan said is true, this is a possibility of committing a crime, and the cases in the city will continue to develop.
I couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Are you sure that the second law is true?"
Shen Yan shook his head: "Then I'm not sure."
After all, it was just a sentence mentioned in the diary about the research results of the "giants".
Whether it was true or false, Shen Yan didn't have the conditions to verify it.
Because he is the victim, he can think about it more immersively and with more brain cells, and it is not in vain that he watches so many detective TV series.
Zhao Kuo thought to himself, I really dare to think that if this second law is proven, I don't know how much chaos will be caused.
Don’t doubt that some people, in the face of profit, use this law to decipher the desire of old documents. The old documents are treasures of inestimable value, hiding secrets about sacred vessels and relics. If you don’t read them before, Because there is only one fate for those who read it, and they must die of madness due to strange reasons.
Zhao Kuo reminded: "Don't mention this law to anyone in the future."
Shen Yan nodded, the law is not guilty, it is just the established law of all things, but the human heart cannot be controlled. For example, he is the victim of this incident. If this law is really confirmed, or someone tries to prove it, it is conceivable that what will happen What a disaster it caused.
Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous sentence in an old diary might bring unpredictable disasters to this world.
As the saying goes, anyone who studies the past is seeking death.
Chen Yan suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart. He saw the second law of pollutants from the diary. So, has the murderer who owns this diary deciphered the meaning of this sentence?
Moreover, is the incident of infected people in the mercenary city a process that he is verifying?
It's scary to think about it.
Shen Yan's body felt exhausted for no reason. Perhaps it was because he struggled too hard during his "attack" today and consumed too much energy and energy.
When Zhao Kuo saw Shen Yan's appearance, he didn't ask any more questions and left Shen Yan to rest on the bed.
Lying on the bed, everything became quiet.
Only then did Shen Yan feel scared about his encounter. He saw Zhao Kuo as soon as he woke up, and those fears seemed to be temporarily hidden.
Now it is quiet and all sense of self is back.
It is said that when Zhao Kuo came back, he was holding a large handful of nails and was about to stab himself in the eye. He could not remember the scene clearly.
But now he can still remember the indescribable pain that felt like his brain was about to burst out.
It was an unspeakable torture to the soul and body. In that case, the body instinctively and uncontrollably went to extremes.
Even just thinking about it makes me tremble.
The "curse" in the old documents is so terrible that anyone who reads it will die.
Moreover, the page of the diary that Shen Yan saw could not be regarded as the original old document. Its content only talked about the research of "giants" in the second era, and it only touched the taboo.
The real ancient documents are the direct research documents about the First Age in the giant ruins high on the mountain.
How terrifying that would be.
Fear kept Shen Yan awake. The more he feared something, the more he would think about it involuntarily.
For example, as mentioned in the diary, the giant ruins on the high mountains, the extremely cold nights, and the alternation of day and night seem to have become less regular. Where on earth could such a place be?
For another example, what does the bronze gate of the giant ruins that the owner of the diary saw look like? It actually blocked the progress of a team, and what does the huge eye pattern on the bronze gate represent?
Eyes are the window to observe the world and the embodiment of great wisdom. Are they the totem of the "immortal giant"? Or does it contain other mysterious and unknown meanings?
Also, the diary mentioned that the owner of the diary seemed to have been mentally infected, which led to the emergence of prosopagnosia. What happened to his sequelae?
What was the fate of the entire team? Did they finally open the door and enter the city of ruins, and did they escape from there alive?
It is estimated that even the owner of the diary did not expect that his trivial diary could actually hide so many secrets and unknown things.
It is considered top secret when it comes to the old days.
Shen Yan vaguely remembered the strange and mysterious sounds he heard in his ears when he was infected and fell into madness. What did the phrase "Damon's Gate" that finally came together mean?
Are the visions he saw of the crowds without features and hair really the immortal giants on the mountain top? What are they forging in the illusion?
Or maybe these sounds and visions are simply meaningless.
In the chaos, I don't know how long it took before Shen Yan fell asleep.
This sleep was as deep as ever, and when I woke up, it was already dark outside.
The mercenaries were lighting kerosene lamps and polishing wood, and Aunt Dong was also leading people to prepare the ingredients that would be used in the stall tomorrow.
After experiencing fear, seeing such a small life makes me feel extremely warm.
Shen Yan walked out, and the first person who came over was Jiang Yu, who said mysteriously: "How did you survive the mental torture?"
With Shen Yan's strength, being directly infected by the old documents, he could still survive. It is a miracle, and it seems that there are no sequelae.
The sequelae are actually a compensatory behavior caused by being exposed to unbearable pollutants but luckily surviving.
Whether it was Jiang Yu or Uncle Guo's sequelae, it was all caused by this reason.
Shen Yan's face couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't help but boil the pot.
Even Zhao Kuo next to him looked a little unnatural on his face.
Shen Yan was stunned. What was Zhao Kuo's reaction? He shouldn't know what he was thinking at that time, right?
Impossible, Zhao Kuo must not have imagined those scenes. Those scenes were caused by spiritual infection and were not his own subconscious thoughts. Shen Yan tried to convince himself.
At this time, Zhao Kuo said to Jiang Yu: "Go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow and ask for news about the infected people in the city."
Jiang Yu nodded: "Ji Zhuo is at the Public Security Bureau. I will go to him tomorrow to get some information. They are all good brothers. He will still help with this small task."
Ji Zhuo is the shy, tall and thin young man who brought fruit to Jiang Yu that day.
Shen Yan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yu and thought to himself, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are also good brothers, but they are not like you. Why does Shen Yan know Ji Zhuo's name? Because this young man comes to the noodle stall to see Jiang Yu every day, which is called diligent. He also helps serve noodles to the diners. He doesn't regard himself as an outsider. He doesn't think he is a family member. After going back and forth, Shen Yan becomes familiar with him. .
Shen Yan couldn't help but ask: "Security Pavilion? Isn't the mercenary city managed by each mercenary group themselves?"
Zhao Kuo and Jiang Yu couldn't help but look at Shen Yan. Sure enough, they had just arrived here not long ago and didn't understand the most basic system of the mercenary city.
"The Mercenary City not only has security booths, but also training camps, medical camps, etc."
"It's just that they can't control the mercenary group, even if they want to."
"Usually, they maintain basic order in the upper city area and rarely come to the lower city area. But on the surface, the entire mercenary city still has a management agency."
Shen Yan: "..."
It's such a strange and complicated power structure. There is a management organization on the surface, but it doesn't care about anything and can't control anything.
Well, just mind the assholes.
"However, they are fairly well-informed, and they can get some information first-hand."
…
At night, Shen Yan called out Li Sanniang and Mr. Sun Ci.
This is also what he gained from experiencing a revelation ceremony that was beyond his ability to bear.
He can call two heroic spirits at the same time, and each heroic spirit can stay for almost a quarter of an hour.
It seems that the time has doubled than before. Of course, this is the reason why the base of his soul power is already small.
The sound of the pipa washed away Shen Yan's soul. He used to just think that the pipa played by Li Sanniang was pleasant, but this time he could clearly feel the power of soothing the soul in the beautiful sound of the pipa. Perhaps it was his spiritual talent. It is only after experiencing torture that the power of soothing and repairing becomes so obvious.
No wonder the mercenary longed to hear the singing of the wandering poet. This feeling of soothing the restless soul was so comfortable.
Next to him, the old doctor was pricking Dad Dong's leg with a needle.
The rows of silver needles are scary just looking at them.
Locust Cub and several other children, their necks curled up every time they saw a needle being inserted, and they straightened their necks only after each needle was inserted.
This heroic spirit of Shen Yan is really strange. What happened to Father Dong’s legs?
Dad Dong's expression was very surprised. His legs felt numb, as if blood was flowing inside, and he felt very comfortable.
It seems to be working.
At night, the night fell silent.
Almost everyone in the warehouse was fast asleep.
Shen Yan may have slept too much during the day and couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned and touched his penis a few times to make sure there were no sequelae. Jiang Yu said just now that a revelation ceremony that exceeds the ability to bear will probably make people feel a little different. , so Shen Yan still has lingering fears.
At this time, something seemed to come from my ears.
Like the sound of chewing something.
I couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, which was outside the window of the warehouse.
Is it a bug?
However, when Shen Yan turned his head and looked over, his whole body went cold and goosebumps stood up all over.
He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, which made his teeth sore.
Someone, someone is at the window, a vague old man with wrinkled pale skin, whiter than the moonlight. There are only three ounces of dry hair on his head, which sticks to his scalp. His face is weird and he keeps talking. Chewing quickly, making strange incomprehensible sounds.
Shen Yan's whole body felt bad.
Fortunately, it's Datongpu.
If they were in a separate room, seeing such a weird scene would probably scare people crazy.
Shen Yan didn't know where to find the strength to turn over and crawl towards Zhao Kuo. Originally, he had wanted to avoid Zhao Kuo recently to avoid embarrassment.
"Zhao Kuo, wake up."
Shen Yan could hear his nervous heartbeat and swallowing of saliva.
In fact, when Shen Yan stood up and approached, Zhao Kuo opened his eyes.
Shen Yan whispered: "There is someone at the window, um, maybe a person, and the voice is very strange."
Zhao Kuo looked over and said doubtfully: "There is nothing, but there is a bit of sound, like wind."
If someone was really close to their residence, there was no way he wouldn't feel it.
Shen Yan was stunned and ran away?
I couldn't help but turn my head and look over.
Hiss, no, the pale old man was obviously still lying on the window, smiling horribly at him.
