Krafft's Anomaly Notes

"Wake up!" Kraft caught up with Martin, and shouted at the crowd who were extremely excited or depressed by the campfire, and pulled up those who bowed their heads and hugged their knees one by one.

It is no longer easy to judge whether this is a natural emotional expression, a change after being affected, or both.When awakened, they appear in a somewhat trance-like, distracted state.

As a matter of urgency, Kraft did not hesitate to use his family's first aid on the battlefield. The traditional and effective physical stimulation of the facial peripheral nerves quickly brought back the consciousness of the delirious, whether it was grief or joy or tucked up. , all returned to reality after two slaps.

He grabbed the subordinate who had just been pulled up, and raised a finger to observe the convergence reflection and follow-up movement of the opponent's eyes, "Did you see anything? A large spot of light, or a double image?"

"I seem to be a little dazzled." The servant freed one hand from covering his face to rub his eyes, and it seemed that his vision was not affected much.

"You, and you?" Kraft asked one by one, and the answers he got were "dizziness" and "glare".

Instead, after a violent emotional outburst or depression, they feel mentally exhausted and realize that they have been too immersed in emotions just now, so that their energy cannot be sustained.

Those feelings are inflated, extremized, and beyond words, so that people who have been tested in battle cannot control themselves. Not only are they catalyzed by the panic caused by the attack of extraordinary things, but they also let consciousness flow freely in a state similar to drunkenness.

Coupled with the faint spots of light floating in front of my eyes, I feel like I am in a dream, and my words have a psychedelic lightness.

Baro took off his helmet, shook off the compacted hair a little annoyed, retched twice, and said uncertainly: "Honestly, I feel...a bit crowded?"

Looking at the broad camp that was mostly demolished, he shrank his shoulders and gave up this action because his armnails got stuck.

"I know it's weird, but really, it feels like it's filled in."

This kind of statement was echoed by many people. Several people who had just shrunk their bodies said that they felt that way, but this kind of feeling was too strange and abstract to express.

The surrounding area is obviously empty, but I still feel blocked mouth and nose, chest tightness, and a lot of things are stuffed around, oppressive, people instinctively want to curl up to escape this discomfort.

From the perspective of outsiders, their breathing is normal, although it is slightly faster due to the influence of subjective feelings, in fact, the ventilation is smooth and the chest movement is gentle.

In the absence of a stethoscope, Kraft could only put his ear against the chest wall, and as expected, he did not hear any obvious rales.He is more inclined that this is a confusion caused by synaesthesia. As for what caused the synaesthesia, it is still a question.

Therefore, we can only give some empirical suggestions at this time.

"Don't fall asleep, hold on for a while, the sun will come out soon."

After thinking about it, just in case, and thinking it was better than nothing, he added: "If, I mean, if you find yourself falling behind, separated from your companions, and appearing in places you don't know, don't yell, Find a place to hide."

It was already the middle of the night when the first scream sounded, and after they survived the fierce battle with the horrifying thing, they woke up from the emotional wreckage with lingering fear, and the night had unknowingly entered the coldest and darkest time period.

That's not a bad thing, the chill will lift your spirits and it means the long days of summer are just around the corner.

They sat looking at each other for a while, and finally someone couldn't bear the background sound of the raw bacteria's body scratching the soil endlessly, and chatted about the usual boring life topics to resist fatigue.

Training and food, even the seldom-mentioned family relationships.Most of the people here are a small noble lineage, because they have no inheritable property and status, they were sent to the castle to find another way out.Self-awareness belongs to the upper class, but in fact there is no qualitative difference from ordinary people, and it is even worse than some merchant families, which is an embarrassing position.

At this moment, some subtle changes have taken place in the mentality, and the content that is usually quite taboo seems to be no longer valued so much, and can be used as a pastime for conversation.

The object of their complaints has shifted from poor board and lodging to cold-blooded old men who are stingy and eccentric. They are unwilling to separate a little more from the industry, and they have found a consistent common language here.

The topic quickly spread to the guy who had it all because he was born early, and the smaller and more favored children, unfair treatment, and what he should have been given.

The talk, full of grievances and vibes, made the speeches active, and the time passed quickly.

Kupp listened to their world with great interest, and imagined how much he could share with his younger sons from the property if he became an "old man" in the future. Money comes.

Kraft is quietly timing, feeling the changes.He has no sympathy for these things.

The effects, which are most likely mediated by mushroom spores, are visibly diminishing.The light spots are reduced, the ground no longer seems to be caressed by a layer of carpet, and the non-existent mushroom mold spots quietly dissipate when the attention is removed again and again.

【illusion】

But it’s too real, and the two layers that don’t distinguish from each other overlap unstable in the eyes.And the "crowded feeling" that has been mentioned many times, although weak, has not completely dissipated.

It is not the narrowness that is gained and lost when the spiritual sense is disconnected, but the kind of reality that can be intuitively imagined. Those polymorphic light spots seem to be turning from virtual to real, squeezing his breathing space.

And the biggest part of his attention is always on those fixed bodies.

When they reach a certain point in time, they slow down in a highly synchronous manner, and the mycelium mixture of muscle bundles, which is so tense that it is about to tear itself and bones, relaxes, and the mushroom head crown hangs down.

The chatting crowd was frightened by this familiar change, and quickly got up to prepare for another wave of attacks.

Even if there is no spiritual sense, when the scale reaches this level, the residual connection with that side can make Kraft vaguely aware at this moment that something has been pulled out of the body, and there is some kind of indescribable "activity" contained in it. dropped sharply.

A kind of active and small thing sneaks into the vegetation and underground, and "transmits" in everything that hides the mycelium, just like the neural electrical signal animation that I have seen.

【conduction】

It couldn't even be called a "thing," but a signal on the carrier, a cluster of small individuals between matter and nothingness, faintly sensed as pieces peeled away from their shells.

He even thought he saw the spots on the swollen roots move, and the flora in the shadows swayed slightly.Kupp subconsciously raised the soles of his feet slightly, as if avoiding the rabbits that jumped under his feet.

An upright colorful body appeared in the forest, and the crossbowman struggled to turn the winch to wind up, aiming in that direction for warning, but it just stood there silently.

As time passed, the drooping crown and the arrow on the chest were seen clearly, and they realized that it was a shell nailed to the tree trunk, revealed layer by layer from the darkness by the gradually brighter light.

The sky above the head, which was cut and broken by the branches and leaves, quietly had a layer of imperceptible gray light, and it would take a long time for the forest to be moistened.

Dawn has come.They waited for a while, but no more bodies came from the direction of the village.It's over, at least temporarily.There is a sense of unreality, even with the evidence of the surrounding corpses, it still seems to wake up from a nightmare and return to reality.

"Let's take a break, we'll go to the village to deal with the rest of the matter later." Kraft stood up, moved his joints, and looked at the terrified person without any distraction.

"Don't go and deal with them all now, so go back and wait for the rest to catch up tonight? Or who thinks they can walk out of this forest overnight?"

This reasoning is convincing, if there is another Fright Night, no one here can go out.The best way is to go back, return to the village at the source, take advantage of the temporary retreat of the power driving the body, and smash the things it can control into pieces.

"This time I'm in charge of guarding, hurry up, it's best to leave before noon."

……

……

"Professor, are you really okay?" Martin confirmed to Kraft, who was not tired, with a rather awe-inspiring attitude before starting off.

"Better than you think. You know, if people are used to working all night, sometimes the next morning is better than just waking up."

This is indeed not a brazen statement, he has sufficient experience of turning day and night upside down, but the current state does not seem to be explained by the experience of staying up all night.After those effects subsided, what he felt was not bone-deep exhaustion, on the contrary, like waking up from a light sleep.

The strange feeling returned to the left arm, floating in the embedded body, which brought Kraft back to the uncomfortable daily life.Subconsciously, there is a little nostalgia for the previous feeling, the body is also calmed down, and a certain peace of rest is obtained, and there is a slight deviation in attitude.

The psychological repulsion to influence is lessened.Rational logic tells the consciousness that something is wrong, but the psychological predisposition to a more comfortable state cannot be changed by denial, like the irresistible sense of openness of the mental senses.

【influences】

This is also influence, and the influence of the mind works on the body, and the influence of the body can also work on the mind.

Kraft wanted to roll up his sleeves to have a look, but he suddenly realized that he hadn't checked his left arm for some days.The dense sight around him made him give up this idea.

"Let's go."

The team followed the path again and returned to the village where the mushrooms flourished.

This time, he set foot on that path.The thick soles of the boots didn't seem to exist, and the comfortable and disgusting soft texture spread from the soles of the feet to the body along with the trembling.

There have been a lot of gaps in it, making it look no longer perfect, and it seems like an invitation to someone to fill in these gaps.

The sounds of breaking and falling came from the four directions of the house, it was the rest of the people who were dealing with the remaining shells, they poured all the accumulated fear and anger on these things, and avoided this road intentionally or unintentionally, And the center to which it foreshadows.

Kraft climbed up the stone steps with his hands behind his back, and the ring with the broken stone brick facade hung high on the arch. There were two inconspicuous areas of different colors on both sides. Something had hung here for a long time, leaving Photocopy.

"Orthodoxy?" Resting his chin in thought for a moment, he reached out and pushed open the unlocked door.

The structure is similar to other churches, the straight aisle between the rows of chairs in the main hall leads to the place where the worship is, and the end can be seen at a glance from the door.

The noon sun from the broken window illuminates the tall, wingless ring, and there are many suppressed and ferocious devils and evil spirits painted below, which are not as expressive as the scales and half claws seen outside.

The side angels guarding the main symbol have been tampered with with much newer paint than the base color.

The image of a benevolent face has been smeared out and replaced with an aperture larger than the body. The facial features have been displaced, with multiple arms and multiple feet, fingers and toes are spread apart, and they are bent, twisted, and twisted like boneless.

Affected by the H3N[-] epidemic, the workload has more than doubled recently, and the night shift is difficult, so I may not be able to update in time_(:[-]⌒)_
