Secret Dice

Chapter 566 Laughing wildly

As he spoke, Zhugesang drew a simple diagram on the blackboard.

"[Supernatural] ghosts can be roughly divided into four types."

"The first type is called Shun Ling, generally referred to as Ling. It is usually a soul that fails to dissipate after death due to regrets during life or due to the influence of some abnormal forces. Strictly speaking, this kind of soul is , it cannot be considered as the scope of ghosts, because they still retain their living The person's previous personality and appearance, and the spiritual power is generally relatively low, can only have a very limited impact on reality. Generally speaking, the spirit is considered harmless, and will dissipate as long as the obsession in life is completed, even if left alone. , will become weaker and weaker over time, and eventually disappear.”

"As for the second type, they are ghosts in the conventional sense. Such spirits are usually the incarnations of the deceased who harbor resentment. They have been distorted to a certain extent due to negative emotions. Although they still maintain the basic form of their lives, their personalities have suffered. When it comes to destruction, in addition to strong resentment, there is almost no memory of life, and there is a lack of reason. The appearance will be more terrifying. Ghosts are full of resentment towards human beings. Their spiritual power is stronger than ordinary spirits and can have a considerable impact on the real world. As long as conditions permit, they will try to cause harm to people, even if they are not subjective. The intention to do harm, just lingering around someone, can also cause them to become physically ill.”

"The third type is called a fierce ghost. This variant of ghost is generally formed after the death of a person with great resentment, or it is formed by ordinary ghosts devouring each other. It is a kind of ghost with stronger power. The ghosts with greater resentment have more twisted and terrifying forms. The difference between ordinary ghosts is that most ordinary ghosts are like beasts and only rely on resentment and instinct to act. However, fierce ghosts are not only more powerful, but also have intelligence that is not inferior to humans. They can even retain most of their memories during life and are more cunning. , the behavior is more unpredictable.”

Having said this, Zhuge Suang drew a big circle on the blackboard to frame all three kinds of ghosts together.

"The above three types are all spirit ghosts. Regardless of their strength or shape, they are invisible under normal circumstances. And these spirits also have a common characteristic, which is that they are invisible to those who have not observed them. People cannot take the initiative to cause harm.”

"Why is this?" a student asked on the spot.

"This has not yet been determined." Zhuge Suang shook his head: "The more likely speculation is that if the spirits in the [supernatural] world want to have a direct impact on living things, they need to establish some kind of connection, and the key to the connection is to The creature is aware of the spirit's presence."

"Using this rule, the simplest and best way to deal with the above three types of spirit ghosts is to ignore them." Zhuge Su said: "If it is not necessary, no matter how scary the ghosts you see are Wandering nearby, pretending not to see..."

"Wouldn't it be better to just turn off the vitality vision?" Another student asked.

"I suggest you not to make this attempt." Zhuge Suang shook his head: "First of all, because the solid body realm strengthens the body's functions, the practitioner's perception is far stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if the vitality vision is turned off, the You can detect the presence of ghosts to a certain extent. If you establish contact in this unclear state and meet the conditions for ghost attack, it will be more dangerous. "

"Secondly, turning off your vitality vision can hide you for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. If you can't see ghosts at ordinary times, and you suddenly turn on your vitality vision, you may be frightened because you don't adapt to it, and your flaws will be exposed. If you happen to be surrounded by many ghosts, you will also be swarmed. And attack..."

"Also, there are not only spiritual ghosts in [Supernatural], but also polluters. If you don't turn on your vitality vision, you are likely to be attacked by polluters."

"In addition, in addition to the above three types, there is a fourth kind of ghost in [Supernatural]. To deal with them, you still need vitality vision to distinguish them."

As he spoke, Zhuge Suang wrote the words soul and body on the blackboard, and then drew a circle to frame it.

"A normal life must be composed of two parts: body and soul." Zhuge Suang said: "The body without the soul is just a corpse, and without the body, the soul cannot even exist alone."

"Even under the special world rules of [Supernatural], the ghosts turned into souls and resentments will not be able to exert their full power due to the lack of physical support. Therefore, although the first three kinds of spirit ghosts are troublesome, they are not suitable for experienced exploration. The threat is not that big, the real threat is precisely the fourth type!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Suang wrote the word "entity" on the blackboard.

"There are some ghosts, for various reasons, who have the physical body as a carrier." Zhuge Suan introduced: "Some are possessed, some are fused, and some even rely on dead objects... No matter what the reason, those who have obtained the physical body Although ghosts have lost their ability to be nihilistic, their influence on reality has been qualitatively improved. This kind of monster is collectively called an 'entity'."

"In addition, only powerful enough spirits can forcibly occupy the physical body, so the power of 'physical' monsters is far greater than that of ordinary ghosts, and they pose the greatest threat to us! Moreover, their methods are also extremely cruel. The explorers in our hands all end up miserable..."

After hearing what he said, all the students who had never been to [Supernatural] couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Some people looked at the students from Puhua Mountain. These local top students have basically been to [supernatural] internships, so they should be more experienced.

"Don't look at us!" Zhuge Lan admitted generously: "The entity is indeed very ferocious, and we don't have a good way to deal with it, but the number of such monsters is very small, and we should not encounter them."

"Should?" Ouyang Yu frowned and said, "That's too vague, what if we encounter it?"

"Why, do you have to pee your pants when I meet you?" Zhuge Lan didn't give any face: "We are originally determined to be explorers, risking our lives to face monsters from other worlds, isn't this commonplace? Master Ouyang, isn't it? Do you think that just like ordinary work, you can complete your work just by sitting in the office? "

Ouyang Yu's face turned red because of her retort, but he didn't know how to refute. He could only open and close his mouth continuously without making a sound, looking like a goldfish jumping out of the fish tank...

"Xiaolan, pay attention to your attitude!" Zhugesu scolded, and Zhugelan calmed down: "I know, third brother..."

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Third Brother in the workplace!"

"Okay...I know Professor Zhuge..."

Zhuge Suang's expression softened a little and he looked at the others: "Don't worry too much. Although physical monsters are powerful, because they can be seen by ordinary people, they usually cause considerable commotion before they are discovered by us. We When facing physical monsters, we were prepared in advance, and the casualties were not that big..."

"Compared to such rare monsters, I think everyone should pay more attention to those fierce ghosts." Zhugesuan said with a smile: "Although they are called ghosts by us, these spiritual monsters are not the same as the ghosts we usually understand. Exactly the same."

"Most of them are indeed relatively conventional, just terrifying spirit monsters, but there are also some that are extremely concealed and even have the ability to escape the detection of vitality vision and appear in the form of some weird phenomenon that makes it difficult for people to guard against. This kind of thing is It’s a difficult problem we often encounter in our daily work.”

With that said, Zhugesang picked up a piece of information: "For example, the test questions for the final stage of this exchange meeting."

"Laughing wildly!" "Our Puhua University is located in the western suburbs of Zhonghuangquan City in the [supernatural] world. 'Laughing wildly' is a strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared not long ago. It is currently only spreading in Huangquan City."

"The specific manifestation is that a person will suddenly burst into laughter. Due to the violent laughter, the corners of the mouth will be cracked, the lungs and trachea will be damaged, the spine will be broken, the ribs will be broken and other serious injuries, and eventually they will die painfully while laughing."

"Most people who have witnessed this phenomenon will suddenly laugh and die within seven days. According to our current investigation, those who have witnessed the phenomenon of laughter but have not yet had an attack will subconsciously believe that, If you laugh, you will definitely die from laughing uncontrollably, and you will have a strong fear of it, so you will not dare to laugh again. "

"But no matter how controlled they are, within seven days, these people's laughter will become lower and lower, and eventually they will laugh for some inexplicable reasons. Just as they worry, once they laugh, they will trigger a state of crazy laughter and eventually die painfully. ”

"Professor Zhuge, you just said most of it..." Lao Miaomiao raised her hand and said, "What about the rest?"

"The rest committed suicide in advance because they couldn't bear the fear of the crazy laughter." Zhuge Suang said.

"Then what is the attitude of the world's governments and police towards this unusual incident?" a student asked, raising his hand.

"After all, this is a world where supernatural forces exist. The government here is also aware of the existence of spirits and ghosts. The government has specialized organizations and will train practitioners to investigate and deal with related incidents." Zhuge Suan explained: "But just like 99% of the practitioners in [Martial Arts] are from the martial arts sect, almost all practitioners of [Supernatural] are from the illusion sect and the incantation sect, specifically to deal with spiritual bodies."

"Of course, the official agencies are unable to cope with the endless number of supernatural incidents. Therefore, the government often turns to some non-governmental organizations to help solve the problem." Zhugesang explained: "We at Puhua University have a special spiritual department. The Physical Research Center is also an officially registered private paranormal research organization, and the remuneration received from solving commissions is also one of the sources of funding for the Yuanxiu Society's operations here."

"In this case of the laughter incident, we received a commission to assist the official agency in solving the incident. After research, we have not observed any abnormal spiritual reactions in the witnesses of the laughter phenomenon. As for the case of the laughter phenomenon, in order to ensure that the explorers For their safety, we did not arrange direct observation, but used instruments to observe, and no abnormal reaction was detected. It is speculated that it is caused by a special ghost with strong concealment. "

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"What if we isolate all the people who may be infected with the crazy laughter phenomenon?" Luo Jun proposed a plan: "Let them laugh wildly to death when they are alone. In this way, there are no witnesses, and the phenomenon cannot continue to spread." "

Zhuge Suan nodded: "We are also implementing this plan, because so far, the phenomenon of wild laughter is spread in a small atmosphere, with no more than five witnesses at most, so the scope of the spread is not wide, and the number of infected people according to statistics is less than Two hundred people, we quickly cooperated with the authorities to control all the infected people, and the current results are good. As the infected people died laughing in isolation, there were indeed no new witnesses. "

"But the laughing phenomenon has been happening for more than a month, and coupled with its strong concealment, I am sure that there are more witnesses hidden in the city. Therefore, the final topic of this exchange meeting is to find out the hidden He was arrested and brought back to Puhua University.”

"The assessment period is seven days, because the supernatural door is only open for seven days at a time. The end of the assessment is set one hour before the supernatural door closes. From now on, there should be only six days and seventeen hours. The final assessment The results will be determined based on the number of witnesses brought back by each team. We will send the information to each team later, which will include information on all current infected people, which will facilitate everyone's screening of possible infected people."

"Do you have any questions? You can ask them now."

A student raised his hand and asked: "You just said that laughter is very concealed. How do we find infected people hiding in the city?"

Zhuge Suang nodded: "At present, we are indeed unable to detect the fluctuations of the spirit body of the crazy laughter phenomenon, but the infected people will have obvious abnormalities in their mental state due to subconscious fear. After research, we have found the unique emotions of the people infected with the crazy laughter. Fluctuations can be detected by instruments to distinguish infected people from ordinary people.”

"Moreover, we will install monitoring equipment on the instrument to record your entire mission process. If we find that there is intentional laughter to increase the number of infected people, in order to increase the points, the results will be canceled directly."

Another student asked: "Then if we accidentally witness a laughing incident during the investigation and are infected, are there any remedial measures?"

"At present, there is no precedent for an explorer to be infected." Zhugesang shook his head: "But as far as I know, a practitioner of the official [supernatural] world organization was once infected while performing a mission, and eventually died. Died of laughter.”

Hearing what he said, the students all looked worried.

"Of course, this infected cultivator is not very strong in realm or strength. He is only a mid-level agent in the organization. If he has stronger cultivation, he may be able to withstand the curse of laughter."

According to common sense, as long as the cultivation level is deep enough, one can indeed ignore all monsters and monsters. But the question is how deep? At least for now, there is a precedent of cultivators dying from infection. Which student dares to risk his own life to try the challenge?

"I have another question!" Luo Jun raised his hand: "If someone triggers crazy laughter, can we stop the spread of crazy laughter by killing him before he dies from laughter?"

"We have tried this before." Zhuge Suang shook his head: "It turns out that the moment the wild laughter is triggered, the spread has already started. Even if he is killed in advance, people who have witnessed it will still be infected. But this can indeed shorten the time The process of laughing wildly reduces the number of witnesses.”

"Then what is the standard for witnessing?" Luo Jun continued to ask: "It must be seen with one's own eyes? Does it count if it is seen through surveillance, live broadcast, video, etc.?"

"The standard of witnessing is to see it with your own eyes at the scene. If you see it through video, live broadcast, etc., you will not be infected. Even at the scene, if you only hear laughter and don't see it with your own eyes, nothing will happen."

Luo Jun nodded after hearing this: "In this way, we can at least guarantee that there will be no large-scale spread through electronic devices..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Suang's phone rang. After he picked it up and answered it, he was suddenly shocked: "How could it be? What's going on now... Okay... I know..."

After hanging up the phone, he frowned and looked at the students in the audience:

"I just received news that a quarantined person under official control accidentally escaped and was found in a bustling downtown area, laughing to death under the gaze of thousands of people..."
