Chapter 187 Boarding the Car (4K [-]-in-[-])

Fan Ning is not very good at studying the mysterious properties of moving matter, so he still has to rely on Joan and the school's elixir Cyndia.

As time continued to move toward the night, it was often easier to determine the mysterious properties of pure and sufficient Extraordinary substances. Joan quickly determined that the flower-like substance and green crystals in the elixir indeed had the effect of assisting the slow recovery of the spirit body.

As for the separated "candle", because it comes from the pigment found on the wall of the underground building, everyone naturally guesses that it is a product of the human body's transmutation under the strange sacrifice—a kind of candle that can describe the "spring in the painting". "Extraordinary dye of the image.Following this guess, pigments of other colors may be extraordinary dyes that can separate out other phases.

What deserves the most attention now is the "derived" phase components similar to the radioactive substances in the previous life.

After a series of experiments by Joan and Cyndia, it was discovered that this extraordinary component seemed to have the property of "softening" the spirit body and then "softening" the flesh and blood structure.

This world also has a history of nearly [-] years of cultivating rats for experiments in anatomy, natural science and related mysticism. Several mice were fed different doses, and the light and shadow outside their etheric bodies became loose and swaying.However, after they were subjected to strong emotional stimulation or exercise coercion, their bodies began to show symptoms similar to those of laborers, such as internal and external bleeding, skin peeling, and disintegration of facial features.

"So, why are there no abnormalities in the two principals?" Joan asked doubts on the carriage home in the early morning.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's because they didn't use extraordinary abilities during this period of recuperation." Fan Ning said, "Its function is to 'soften' rather than 'destroy', it just puts the spirit body in a state that is more likely to be deformed or torn. Unstable state, for ignorant people with weak souls, as long as they are emotional or tired, it will immediately affect the flesh and blood level, causing a devastating impact... The soul and soul of the wise are independent, so they are not so fragile, but Once the extraordinary ability is used, I am afraid that as long as it exceeds a certain limit, some unexpected changes will occur... So I just immediately added another letter to Roy."

"Spiritual 'softener'... let's call it that. From the source, it can be seen that there is Rilatium Chemical Trading Company, there is a pigment factory in Langefni Workhouse, and there is also a wall in the underground building of the Alchemist Guild..." Fanning said to himself Thinking in general, "Either they come from the Harmonization School, or they are transcendental clubs that secretly have a relationship with them... What is their purpose? The huge profits of the watch factory are one of the reasonable motives, what about the other?..."

"Caron, I remembered a detail." Sheeran said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Do you remember the smell when we first stepped into the gate of the paint factory?"

"Smell..." Fan Ning remembered after a little recollection, "Plant aromatherapy and steam fan ventilation? I remember I asked him, and his answer was very calm. I didn't think his emotional body expanded and diverged towards the astral body. the trend of…"

The lies of ignorant people on major issues are difficult to hide from the "candle"'s spiritual sense, even those who have received professional anti-interrogation training.

They can control expressions, breathing, and heartbeat, but they cannot control the spiritual body, and cannot perfectly cover the fluctuations of the emotional body and the astral body.

Sheeran said: "Stanley explained the reason for the ventilation, because the paint manufacturing process smells bad, and he didn't lie, so you didn't see the difference."

"You mean..." Fanning reacted, "the smell actually means..."

Like the one behind the secret door, maybe it's the stench of the human body after transmutation?

It makes sense logically.The spiritual bodies of those who acted as sacrifices were first softened and then turned into pigments.

The weird sacrificial ceremony that took place at the hospital on the original site of the art museum more than [-] years ago is still attended by people?
"This may also have something to do with the door." Joan said, "I suspect that this is also a spiritual body experiment being carried out by the Reconciliation School."

"A spiritual body experiment related to the door? For example... the 'Gate of Seven Lights' that Benjamin said contains a lot of knowledge?" Hiran asked.

"Not only that." Joan's eyes were full of thought, "there are so many unknown doors in Huita, since the key to the doors held by each organization with knowledge is its core hidden knowledge, then Meaning, the quest for new keys is also one of the core pursuits of every organization..."

"One of the most common forms of the key is the 'self', that is, planing one's own spiritual body 'rough embryo' into the shape of a 'key' through various means-this is a delicate and dangerous transformation, slightly If the deviation is mild, it will become a lunatic, and if it is severe, it will die suddenly or become a monster piled up with blood and flesh."

".So I wondered if it would take...a lot of trying to figure out a way to achieve the transformation as expected? Perhaps the trying would be violent, or exhaustive, due to the chaos in the occult realm. of."

"...a guess with a very high probability." Fanning agreed with this very much.

The silver-white "derivative" phase substance is a kind of "spiritual softener" required by the front.

The purpose of the transmutation sacrifice may not simply be to please the "fountain in the painting", but also to use a large number of poor people and laborers to conduct spiritual body experiments, so as to screen out the correct way to shape the key...Of course, these two purposes may still be The same nature, the way to please him, is to pursue his knowledge.

The sacrifices in the workhouses and underground buildings were radical and crazy. As for the factories... the laborers may still be subjected to "mild dose tests" in order to obtain some auxiliary data through their physical changes.

"This method of obtaining knowledge in an inhuman way is really in line with the characteristics of the Harmony School..."

Even if the thoughts were a little darker.
Is the organization in this world that has done such things limited to the Harmony School?

"I think what I just thought was too hasty." So Fan Ning said, "Tomorrow, it is not a good idea for the Guidance School to dispatch the police and security bureau to seal the Langefni Workhouse. It's safer for Luo to come back from vacation."

Thinking of the investigators of the Special Patrol Agency being polluted, and even a high-ranking and knowledgeable person like Sternike being tainted, Fan Ning is now becoming more and more afraid of these lunatics.

"Take a good rest today. The train time is [-]:[-] tomorrow. You can still sleep in a little bit in the morning."

A few minutes later, the carriage stopped on the side of Lunwan Avenue. Fan Ning and the two girls said good night to each other and got off the carriage. They watched the carriage disappear at the end of the street leading to Lenia District.

After entering the apartment, taking off his clothes and changing his shoes, Fanning went straight up to the second floor in the dark, followed the raised metal pipe near the head of the bed with his hand, and turned the switch at the center of the grid on the bedside table.

The light of gas lamps illuminates the entire bedroom, with black wooden floors, an old-fashioned upright piano, a dilapidated and tidy single bed, messy scores on the piano, and musicians Gilles, Kashunich and others hanging on the wall. portrait and two other landscape paintings.

Since Sheeran was promoted a few months ago, he has lived in this apartment again, but with the Office of the Guidance School and the Permanent Command Office of the Academy of Music, the utilization rate here is getting closer and closer to the dormitory of the student days.

After Fanning washed up, he planned to practice the piano for a while, but the broken piano soon made him feel bored, so he turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

"During the trip to the imperial capital, I don't want to be meritorious, but I want to have no faults. Let's complete the performance task smoothly. It would be better if I can earn more money from the pre-sale of records."

In his sleep that night, Fan Ning dreamed of scenes that frequently appeared recently:

The refurbished Turner Art Hall opened, with a dazzling array of artworks and crowded galleries…

The steam train bound for Santaram Castle hummed, the scenery outside the window passed by at a high speed, and the carriage was full of passengers...

In the brightly lit concert hall, all the musicians of the symphony orchestra are waiting, and the gentlemen and ladies in the auditorium are sitting attentively...

At a certain moment, he will step on an invisible thing like a "switch" or "trigger", and then find that the eyes of everyone looking at him are as terrifying and extremely ancient as the "Gabra of Mantra".

And when using the dream control method to float into the next scene, the same thing will happen at a certain moment.

Because he felt too uncomfortable, he gave up exploring tonight after repeating it three times, and slowly controlled the scene to become blurred, gradually transitioning into a deep, dreamless sleep.

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

"Wow!—"

The body of the steam train bound for the imperial capital Santaram Castle was covered with carbon slag and black ash, billowing smoke spewed out, and its huge and lengthy steel body began to move inch by inch on the rails.

Lu directly booked the first four consecutive numbers of this train for everyone. Nos. 1 and 2 are first-class carriages, and Nos. 3 and 4 are second-class carriages. There is also a small unnumbered storage area in the middle for zooming in. pieces of musical instruments.

The first-class compartment is brightly lit and luxuriously decorated. Eight large red leather sofas that can be used for reclining are divided into four groups and placed in pairs. There are snacks, drinks and cards on the lacquered wooden table in the middle.The sofa is bordered by sliding door curtains of woven algae, all this time tied at the corners with gold drawstrings.

The four sets of seats in the No. 1 car were given to Fanning, Kaplan, Sheeran and Lu himself, and the No. 2 car was given to the voice chiefs.

In fact, each group of sofas is more than enough for four people, but like No. 1 car, it seems a bit too spacious for only one person per group, so Joan directly ignored her ticket at the back, sat next to Xilan, and began to enjoy refreshments .

"Good morning, everyone."

"Good morning, Mr. Fanning." "Good morning, Callon."

Fanning, who was wearing a neat black dress, greeted everyone after putting away his documents and belongings in his own place.

"How did you sleep last night?" Then he sat down opposite the two girls and asked softly.

"I slept well, but I had a bit of a nightmare." Joan sucked on the straw in the drink glass.

"You were quite full earlier, but you're just a little hungry." Sheeran deliberately imitated her words, and then replied seriously, "...However, I also had some similar bad experiences, which were vague, with only some feelings and emotions. Afterwards, the forgetting speed of the dream is unusually fast."

"Trigger sense? Watching sense?" Fanning frowned and spit out two phrases.

The two girls nodded, and Sheeran added: "...the invisible trigger, the unintentional gaze."

"After arriving in the imperial capital, be careful, and I will go and count the number of people again."

After Fanning finished speaking, he got up from the sofa, moved to the side aisle, and walked towards the rear of the carriage.

Roy, who was sitting on the sofa at the door of the No. 2 carriage, was flipping through a thick book "Reading Orchestral Scores". Location.

"Professor Fanning, good morning." Sitting opposite was another girl with long blonde hair.

"Edith, congratulations that you are now the real principal second violin." Fanning sat down and responded with a smile.

She was a year younger than Roy, and was one of Roy's previous recommendations, and she held the same position in the premiere of Fanning's "First Symphony".

"Thank you." Her voice was a little shy.

The three chatted for a few minutes.

"Miss Roy, how are the two principals?" In public, Fanning couldn't ask very carefully.

"I have received your work letters, two in a row," Roy said.

"You have some changes." Fanning nodded, then got up with a smile.

Roy, who was holding a coffee cup, blinked one side of his eyes slyly and triumphantly at him, then regained his expression, and looked around quietly.

Fanning began to count the number of people backwards.

The second-class carriages are covered with slightly dusty and old carpets, and there are narrow double sofas with armrests on both sides of the aisle, but only one musician or staff member sits in each row.

Kaprun has done an inventory in the waiting room and before getting on the bus. Fanning's main purpose is to communicate. He sits down and chats with everyone from time to time to understand their personal thoughts and psychological dynamics.

For Fan Ning, a permanent conductor and senior who is similar in age to them, people’s understanding of him has undergone a lot of changes during this period. He also tried his best to fight for the interests of everyone with the style of leading the group.

People who can only draw cakes will be secretly ridiculed in any world.

And although Fan Ning seems to be very strict in attendance, he never delays time.He has a clear rehearsal goal every day. As long as everyone starts on time and maintains a high degree of concentration in training, it is common to finish the task ahead of time and leave the show.Many musicians finally found that the overall time seems to be less than the rehearsals of "Grinding Foreign Works" in previous years.

Moreover, Professor Fanning is still of the same age, and there is no generation gap in the communication of various popular topics in the empire.

Many girls may want to add that Professor Fan Ning, as a young and handsome gentleman, is the best figure among the orchestra conductors of major schools!
Most musicians have regarded him as an object of worship and following.

This is reflected in the fact that every time he sits next to the musicians and chats, everyone's expressions are very excited and lively, and even the students who lead the seats will turn their heads, looking eager to join the chat.

"Everyone's mental state has not been found abnormal yet." Fan Ning has been in high spirits since the moment he went out today. After that, he reached the end of the No. 4 carriage.

This is the last section of the chartered car seats. Starting from the No. 5 car, it is the public car where the stranger is.

Although it is still a second-class seat, it is obviously not as relaxed as the half of the seats here. The top hats of gentlemen and ladies are high and low.

Fanning's conversation and counting work naturally ended here, but just before he turned around at the end, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face inadvertently.

The gentleman was sitting in the middle of the No. 5 carriage, facing himself, with half a pocket watch exposed in the upper pocket of the black thin jacket, and under the top hat, his features were short and gloomy.

Special Agents Investigator Joe Vassius?

Fan Ning's original intention was naturally to pretend nothing happened, and go back and report the situation to his own people first.

But the eyes of both sides have already met together, and the other side's face is paralyzed, and the corners of the mouth are slightly twitched.

So Fan Ning thought about it, and walked over calmly.
