Chapter 310 Parasite (4K [-]-in-[-])

The dripping of blood, the change of taste, the excitement of appetite, the pleasure of touch. The clear liquid stained with red ink, pouring up the checkered floor tiles of churches and corridors, is like pouring deep water into a swimming pool, like irrigating clear springs into a dry well, like Let the birth rate surge in the unpleasant areas in the market.
The above-mentioned haunted phantom, which cannot even be defined by sight or smell, made Fanning move his feet reflexively, and immediately changed from this compartment to another compartment.

"Miss Scarlet" is still hanging on the stone wall in front of me.

The scene was repeated several times while the soles of the feet were tossing and turning, and Fanning realized that this was an infection mainly at the intellectual level.

Hidden dangers have both instantaneous impact and continuous follow-up pollution.

Talking about the former alone, when some dangerous hidden knowledge is accepted, people's cognition is like being thrown down from "high to low", which is why those who are too high or completely subvert the existing cognition The reason why the unknown knowledge will instantly smash a person's mind to pieces.

And one of the most effective ways to avoid harm is to find a padded high ground that "has some understanding", so that the "height difference" or "impact" of cognition falling to the ground is not so strong.

As a result, Fanning did find it.This is not the first time, he has seen the portrait of a woman in this painting, in a dream that he had already partially forgotten.

Transcendental Enlightenment from "Incinerator"!
That night in the "Spark Field" of the Guidance School, I saw the revelation pictures related to Qiyuan God one by one.

The first is the revelation of the "black and white poster" related to the "catastrophe", then immediately there is the portrait of a woman in front of the red church arcade background, and finally, there is the Qiming Church, which I have visited the most.

Is the painting "Miss Scarlet" related to the Lord of Witness "Red Pond" and the Pleasure Listening Session?
Perhaps it is the resistance effect of the "gel membrane", or perhaps it has found a cognitive buffer. When the sense of uncertainty covered by the shady disappears and the intruding unknown image can be understood preliminarily, the painting also disappears, at least Gone for a while.

Then, according to the basic principles of the mysterious field, don’t over-examine and think for the time being. If a strange thing is gone and you still worry about why it left, then there is a high probability that you want it to come back to find you.

So Fanning saw that there was an extremely complicated blueprint hanging on the wall. After a few seconds, when his attention was completely withdrawn from the horror, he found that these compartments were still full of various animal and plant specimens , instruments and machinery, bottles and jars and books and paper.

"The secret research site of the Harmony School?"

The situation seemed to be similar to that in the circular building before, but as Fan Ning looked closer, he found that the two were completely different——

The objects in the circular building are old and severely weathered, without any substantial material residue or clear text carrier, but here is just the opposite: there are too many books and papers, too many weird storage materials, and too much information. It's so big, and the content is so complicated that I don't know where to start reading!

This is not a bad thing, because what Fan Ning is most eager to know right now is where the migration and return paths reserved by these esoteric believers are.

This information is of a public nature, so it is definitely not a core secret. At best, it is mixed in these complicated things. It may take some time for people who are not familiar with it to find it, but it is better than being completely barren, and everything depends on guesswork. and run around.

"Consumable supplies entry and exit records?"

Fan Ning picked up four or five notebooks in succession. The paper did not show any obvious traces of age. The writing was in ancient Hoffmannian and Turangalian. He even saw the unit symbols of "pound", "shilling" and even "pence" in succession.

Obviously, whether it is an official organization or a esoteric group, its development and operation cannot be separated from the real society, but this sense of misplaced reality still gave him the illusion of looking at the company's financial statements.

"Why is there still a unit of 'person'?" Fan Ning turned over a few more pages of this so-called consumables record book.

After pondering for a moment, he put it down.

Need to find some key information that outlines the key points.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Fan Ning still took a few steps forward and cast his gaze on the huge complex drawing on the wall.

Plan out the dense text and symbols around the surrounding area in my mind, and the remaining main frame is a right triangle ⊿.

"Map?" His eyes lit up first, and then he revealed a thoughtful look.

It is undoubtedly a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional layout of the current site, but only the right-angled trapezoid in the middle and lower half of ⊿ is marked with detailed functional areas.

And the smaller triangle in the upper half was circled by red ink with a warning effect, and nothing was marked in the drawing.

Since Fan Ning knew in advance that there were traces of activities in this place during the period of the third history and the secret religion of longevity, it undoubtedly makes people think that the Harmony School just built a lower and wider layer under the earlier and smaller ⊿-shaped building above. In order to facilitate research, and the original narrow space at the top, they seem to be afraid to go up.

Fan Ning recalled the overall view of the building when he first entered the platform. The upper narrow floor corresponding to the position of the red ink in the illustration had been immersed in the green haze of the night sky due to its high altitude.

"Is there something that the Harmony School dare not touch?"

Not necessarily, the red ink circle does not necessarily indicate the "unknown forbidden land" that is completely inaccessible, it may just indicate the space above, ordinary esoteric believers are not qualified to understand and enter, for example, there are some The Fountain in the Picture” remains something more closely related.

Time was running short, so after doing some rough analysis, memorizing the locations of several "up and down stairs", and paying attention to several "key areas" diagrams that might have reentry methods, Fan Ning further accelerated his investigation progress.

As more and more compartments passed by on this floor, he found that although these building stones and design styles were weird and old, the specific items displayed inside were not too old.

Since the way to enter this secret realm is not the conventional "dream entry", but a gradual transition from the real channel, there are many daily life items displayed in it, and its style is from the second half of the last century.

There are many compartments, and he saw that many workbenches were displayed in a state of "temporary departure", and some documents and books were poured into the stove in baskets, but most of them were intact, and only a small part was taken away. It was lit, and it was not completely burned.

As if from a certain moment, these people hurriedly evacuated?
Fan Ning went up the second floor from a long, narrow and steep black-blue stone step, which is nearly 20 meters above the ground of the platform. The honeycomb-shaped building is hollowed out and there is no concept of windows. The green water mist in the outer sky brings The unclean breath poured in, making a disturbing whimper.

The long stone table in front of you is spreading the canvas. At first glance, there is an adult-sized creature lying flat on it, but in fact it is only half the thickness. The unrestrained lines and colors on the painting have been glued to his body. Further up and away from the higher part of the canvas, there are actually various colors of paint that have been air-dried.

In another long sink space similar to a public pen sink, a small wooden chair is placed against the wall, and a humanoid creature in gray linen pants is sitting on it, starting from the crotch upwards, and his body is amazingly stretched , A large tree with a height and width of more than five meters bloomed on the stone wall behind him.

His brain was depicted in a wrinkled gray-and-white tone at the top of the tree trunk, the lungs and intestines in the middle were thickly coated with ultramarine and indigo, the crimson stripes of the ribs stretched long out of the wall, and the two arms-like The thick branches are painted with fluorescent light colors like fungal spores, and a child-like figure is sitting on it and looking at himself.

As Fan Ning went up to the higher places of the ⊿-shaped building layer by layer, his figure became floating, the night sky outside was getting higher, the green water vapor was getting heavier, and the area of ​​each floor was getting smaller. Looking around, there are countless such paintings.

They vary in shape, content, and size. The largest piece of work occupies an entire stone wall about ten meters long and three meters high. The color and composition are extremely bold, the brush strokes are extremely thick, and the displacement and reorganization of organs are extremely imaginative...

Just like a large "art workshop".

As for the pigments used in painting, each layer has more fixed "sampling points". Fan Ning has been to several places to inspect, and it is those cochlear-shaped tubes that grow densely on it that can be seen from the exterior of the building. The "spout" here still retains its vibrant color and texture.

Fanning could not help thinking of the pipes of the paint factory of the "Langefni" almshouse.

And those unidentified black holes that absorb human tissue seen at the scene of the subway accident in the imperial capital Santa Rambana.

He followed the instructions on the blueprint all the way up, and gradually approached the top of the marked area, and then went up to the red warning area.

Finally, he frowned and picked up the notebook in the stone cabinet in front of him.

"How to give the feeling of 'meeting minutes' or 'discussion notes'?"

These records are segmented, scribbled and colloquial, and each paragraph is preceded by the format of "name + colon".

Moreover, it seems to be a protracted debate.

"Jiwayawei: The meaningless elixir experiment, the "Gate of the Seven Lights" is just a perspective of understanding. In the final analysis, the understanding of the image of the holy spring is insufficient, and the conception is not thorough. No matter how many enthusiastic acquaintances No real connection with Him."

"Traye Xiyawei: The tendency of the reentry passage is getting higher and higher. Every time it is a test of life and death. Stay here until 900 years in the new calendar at most. If you still make no progress, you will have to find another way to see the holy spring."

"Sahayawei: Today's efficiency is abnormal, extremely low abnormal efficiency..."

"Sahayawei: The actual abundance of transmutation and transformation is only less than 20% of the theoretical consumables. If you don't find out where the other 80% went, then it will not be enough to contact you with five times the acquaintances of the workhouse The great work of the Holy Spring."

"The reentry channel is more and more active? 900 years in the new calendar?" Fan Ning frowned and looked at the writing on it.

This time is already the age of his own life.

What's more, it's actually not right. At that time, the Turner Museum of Art had been established for ten years, and Vincent had sealed the entrance for ten years. These people of the Harmonization School probably didn't stay until 900 years.

Further back, the time of the private residence of Viern?Later, it was temporarily transformed into a workhouse hospital, and when it was relocated in a farce-like manner?
All kinds of clues can be matched.

As for these specific discussions on esoteric rituals, Fan Ning was at a loss at first, but after quickly reading some auxiliary materials around, he probably deduced what these people were talking about.

In the final analysis, the esoteric topics studied by the Harmony School should fall into two categories: what is the true image of the "Fountain in the Painting"; how to describe, approach, restore, and even become His true image.

So specifically in practice, a series of divisions of labor have emerged. Apart from the minutiae, the core is the following categories: responsible for "theoretical research" and putting forward various ideas for the image of the holy spring; responsible for "calling acquaintances", that is, going to the workhouse or other places in the city to preach the teachings; responsible for the "spirit potion test", making these found consumables into transmutation pigments; responsible for the practical operation, that is, trying to have a mystical connection with the "fountain in the painting" mainly through painting .

Due to the unsatisfactory progress of their great achievements, these people in charge of different sections often pointed out their own problems and expressed dissatisfaction in the seminars.

The minutes of the meeting had come to an end, and Fan Ning didn't have the leisure to help clean it up. He threw it on the ground behind him, and then took out the second and third volumes from the stone cabinet that was taller than himself...

First, the row that is at the height of my chest, then the upper row that needs to be reached on tiptoe, and the rows below that need to be squatted and groped...

These people seem to have extremely high energy, they are conducting discussions on the secret of the holy spring all the time, and the process of discussion is full of books after books.

No sleeping, eating, or any other relaxation.

According to Fan Ning's rough statistics, they put forward at least 200 ideas about the image of the holy spring, among which have been widely recognized, including "take out the eyeballs of all human beings and dump them at the mouth of the river, and the collective image seen is It is a holy spring", "all the guide tubes for transformation, from the imperial capital to here, and all over the land of the cities, are themselves huge holy springs" and so on.

In addition, they also compiled more than 40 words of "handouts", "tantric scriptures" or "records of knowledge and experience", left more than 2000 kinds of elixir formulas to "return the human body to reality", and carried out more than [-] "drawings". , close to, restore" process.

Judging from the remarks, there are still some people discussing and discussing when they get interested, they use themselves to do experiments, and they have never seen this name speak since then.

"Bang." "Clatter..." "Patter."

The notebooks were gradually thrown all over the ground by Fanning.

After sweeping the stone wall and the table, he stretched out his hand and twisted the wires wrapped around the rows of brackets, and picked up more books one after another.

All kinds of weird knowledge bombarded the mind in turn, that is to say, those with knowledge at the limit of high ranks could read it. He resisted the discomfort and skimmed quickly.

The "return channel" was not found, but Fan Ning found that as the protracted discussion continued, everyone's disputes or doubts gradually focused on one thing or link:
They found that the reality of "transmutation conversion abundance" is too far from the theory.

Or in other words, after they finally put a group of "acquaintance consumables" into the pipeline, they originally expected to get 100 units of transmutation pigments, but in fact they only got 20.

The other 80 did not know where they went, and no reason could be found.

One link after another, this naturally seriously hindered the progress of their great achievements.

Of course, such a profound topic of evil gods has nothing to do with Fan Ning. He just cares more about the information about the "reentry channel", especially what these people mean by "the tendency of the reentry channel to become more and more active".

Due to the ⊿-shaped cross-sectional structure of the building, the floor area at this height is already small.

"The last record."

The progress was not very clear, Fan Ning shook his head, took a deep breath and opened the book. It was still a passionate discussion, but it came to an abrupt end after turning a few pages of records.

blank page...blank page...blank page...

It seemed that the latest record was reached, and Fan Ning continued to flip through the paper unwillingly. Finally, he saw a small cluster of messy words at the end of the page.

"Sahayawi:
The other 80% was eaten...by something...the one above...

parasitic! !The Holy Spring...was parasitized...

Retreat...all now"
