white night syndrome

Chapter 216 184. The Spider Silk of Hell (Please order in full)

"You don't have to pretend to be stupid in front of me. I know everything about you." The female voice seemed extremely calm, completely different from her previous attitude. "What's going on with that photo? Why don't you kill them?"

"I'm under no obligation to answer you."

The man's voice was as calm as ever, and slightly sinister.

Li Ming squinted his eyes, opened the door to the archives room a crack, and stared straight out the door with his sharp eyes.

"You are really unethical, Mr. Shanshi. You should have guessed by now that your employer is——"

As if sensing this gaze, they suddenly lowered their voices, and Li Ming could not hear what was said next.

interesting.

Li Yan opened the wooden door and rushed to the two of them as quickly as possible. Their voices stopped suddenly. They would not mention the content of the conversation just now. Li Yan looked at the two of them with eyes that could see through their hearts. The two people who were stared at became even stiffer and vague.

After returning to the archives, Li Yan reopened the page of the spell book, and his intuition told him that there must be other clues that he had not found.

"One of you is undercover."

The last page of the spell book reads like this. The handwriting is very graceful and angular. At first glance, it seems that it was written by a highly educated person.

What does it mean to have an undercover agent among you?

Who wrote this sentence on it?
Li Ming couldn't think of it and had no time to think about it. When he saw most people going out to look for new clues, he immediately put the spell book into his large and deep pocket.

It is said that he has searched for many clues and put them all in his pockets. This is theoretically unreasonable, because the pockets of the coat can always be filled, but I don’t know why those pockets always follow It's like a bottomless pit, no matter how much you put in it, it won't make waves on the surface.

Going out from the north door of the exhibition hall, you will come to the outer corridor, which is consistent with the style of the facilities of the Sanying University Research Institute on the ground.

You can see the word "Exhibition Hall" written on the bronze plate on the back of the door when you come out. If you take two steps, you can see all the maps of the signed research association.

There is also an office door opposite the door, with the words "Administrative Office" written on a bronze plate.

Walk about 100 meters to the left and you will arrive at a door that looks like an exit to an underground facility. On the right is a long corridor about 200 meters long. There are electronically locked doors on both sides. It looks like an office or a research laboratory. The sign is holding numbers.

To the right of the shot of the door is a door with the same decoration as the showroom, with the word "Meeting Room" on it.

When you open the doors of other rooms in the corridor, you can see piles of corpses killing each other inside, including students, teachers, and more people who look like homeless people.

Li Dang narrowed his eyes. These homeless people were the same ones who had disappeared before.

Turning his attention to the exit door again, Li Dang realized that he had been separated from the team for a long time, but he ignored it.

The exit door is a very compressive iron door with an electronic lock on it. It seems that an employee's magnetic card is required to pass through.

Li Dang compared the map and found that this door was the only exit to the outside.

It seems there is no other way to leave.

Pushing open the door of the administrative office, everyone discovered that although the door was equipped with an electronic lock that required a magnetic card to pass through, it did not appear to be locked.

Unexpectedly, the interior of the administrative office is a place decorated very simply, elegantly, and modernly like an office.

The non-heavy carpet and wallpaper are just the right light goose yellow. It is very spacious and comfortable, and it looks like an office space for someone with a higher status.

The room is equipped with mahogany desks, bookshelves, a tall display cabinet, and a coffee table in the center of the room.

The mahogany desk is a desk that looks expensive but is full of design. There are some neat documents arranged on it. There is a well-decorated photo on the desk in a conspicuous place. It seems to be a woman in her sixties. A photo of professors and students.

Opening the drawer, there was Mihe Takei's employee card written inside the drawer. His title seemed to be professor and head of the research society.

Comparing the documents in the archives, it seems that the woman in the group photo is Takei. Among the young students, the one closest to Takei is wearing a doctoral graduation dress. A young black-haired girl with a calm expression is smiling confidently at the camera.

Li Ming found that her face was exactly the same as Maria's appearance in Shanshi's photo. Behind the photo, Li Ming found the people's surnames "Zhujing" and "Mizuno".

"This is Mizuno Maria's..." Yuan Qingyu was thoughtful, but stopped talking.

"I really want to show her this photo. I think it will definitely arouse different reactions." Jiang Wenkan smiled and did not continue talking.

The careful Mikka Kurosawa expressed her opinion at this time: "Although the appearance in the photo is basically the same as that of Mizuno Maria, there are still some clues. If I guessed correctly, These should be...twins, or even more outrageously, they could be clones."

"Are you so sure that these two people are not the same person?" Li Ming looked at the girl beside him with interest, his attitude full of playfulness, "What do you rely on? What gives you enough confidence? "

"The sixth sense, of course."

Kurosawa Mitsuka did not continue talking, because she knew that basically no one would believe this kind of feeling. Sometimes it was really a strong premonition, and she didn't know where the premonition came from.

Li Ming smiled and turned his gaze to the pile of documents in front of him.

He found some strange photos and documents. The photos were printed. When he looked carefully, he found several pictures of bright red magic formations, which made people feel very strange.

Each one seems slightly different.

Paired with it was a document in a familiar format, and Li Dang squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully.

[Document: Investigation report on two mysterious magic arrays]

"I. Overview

The main purpose of this investigation is to study and analyze two mysterious magic circles, one from an exhibition hall and one from a secret door.

By comparing photos and on-site observations, it was found that the two magic arrays have certain similarities and differences. Next, the characteristics of the two magic arrays and related magic spells will be introduced in detail.

[-]. Red six-pointed star magic circle (soul-binding spell)

特征
The magic circle is a six-pointed star circle drawn with unknown red material.

Through comparison, it was found that the structure of the array was exactly the same as that in the showroom.

However, the color of the array in the showroom is dull, which contrasts sharply with the bright red glow in the photo.

Introduction to spells
According to the document accompanying the photo, the spell used in this magic circle is called "Binding the Soul."

This spell consumes one-third of the magic power, and its effect is to transfer someone's consciousness to a place other than the physical body.

The steps to perform the spell are as follows:
Let the subject stand in the drawn magic circle;
Prepare the container;
Cause the subject's physical body to die;

Just recite this mantra correctly.

However, the conditions for implementing this spell are very stringent.

According to the description of the document, this may be a spell that can only be used on hopeless madmen.

Risks and Limitations

If the subject still has "sanity" left, then after the consciousness is transferred to other places, the body left behind may become "diseased".

Due to insufficient experimental data, no human being yet knows what the physical body will become.

[-]. Gray broken magic circle (unknown spell)
特征
The second magic circle is a huge magic circle drawn with some strange gray powder. The shape is very weird. Whenever you see it, you feel like your mind has been pulled away, and your whole body is filled with a very unpleasant feeling.

Through comparison, it can be found that this magic circle has the same structure as the magic circle behind the secret door, but it seems to be a little different.

Introduction to mantras
The document that goes with the photo contains a long list of incantations written in a language that no one can understand.

It reads below: "Attention! If the drawing of the magic circle is incomplete, the summoning may be delayed or invalid."

This means that correctly drawing the circle is key to performing the spell.

Risks and Limitations

Without understanding the meaning of this spell, it is difficult to assess its risks and limitations.In actual operation, extreme care should be taken to prevent accidents from happening.

[-]. Conclusion

In this investigation, through comparative analysis of two mysterious magic arrays, we learned about their characteristics and corresponding magic spells.

It should be noted that both spells have certain risks and limitations. In actual operation, they should be treated with caution to avoid unnecessary losses and injuries.

It is recommended that these two magic circles be further studied to reveal the mystery and potential value behind them.

Five, reference materials

(Traces that have been altered)"

These documents look like documents created by researchers to alert future generations or to remind future generations to continue investigating.

Bind the soul...

Is there any hate relationship here...

There are such vicious spells...

Turning your attention to the wooden bookshelf with double doors, there is a huge collection of books stacked inside, most of which are related to folk history and archaeology.

In a small part of the lower left corner of the bookshelf, which seemed to be a library corner for students, everyone found several well-thumbed novels with Mizuno labels on them.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a detective novel published by a writer named "Maria Mizuno".

Mizuno Maria......

Li Ming narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, a somewhat tired "Excuse me" came to everyone's ears. They followed the sound and saw that it was Mizuno Maria, followed by Mr. Yamashiki. The two looked like they had been friends for a long time. It returned to its original state in an instant.

Just when everyone was confused, Maria said "It's so nostalgic" when she saw those books, squatted down and read the books intently, and she actually shed tears while reading them. .

A folder was found in the bookcase, containing interesting contents.

"This page contains a photo of a female high school student. The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is cute and cute, with dazzling brown hair."

This child has no doubts about my words, at least he can verify the authenticity of the spell.

Her spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and it seemed that an important person had committed suicide.

I convinced her that there was a way to be resurrected.

As for the results, I didn't lie.

If they could really turn back time, maybe the two of them could be reunited.

Unfortunately it was a complete failure.

It's an evil god's spell that doesn't matter at all. It's really boring.

The whereabouts of the child were never heard again.

But those mortals without talent will most likely die.

"There is a photo on this page. The photo shows a strange device covered with sand. Everyone found that the device inside the blue kimono doll is very similar to the one in the picture."

This must be destiny.

It is my destiny and my mission.

If there is a God, it must be He who is inspiring me.

Although I had talked about the great race Yis, I never expected to find their time and space transfer machine in the Australian desert.

But there seems to be something wrong with this thing.

The functionality doesn't look right.

Moreover, how to transfer human will into it.

More experiments are needed.

Mitsuru Takei
On X month X this year, two months ago
"There are no notes on this page, only printed information about a strange cult."

The cult planned to summon the mythical creature Shoggoth to learn more about the Cthulhu civilization.

The Order is everything, and the Advocate at the top of the Order is the Son of God.

No matter what the cost, even if it means burning the lives of yourself and your loved ones, you must complete the goal of summoning the Shoggoths.

Today is X month X day this year
Everything is ready.

My students and colleagues must also be prepared to die for a great cause.

The people in that religious sect should be used as my stepping stones.

All the troublemakers have been dealt with.

Mizuno, the cute and smart child, will also become the container of my dreams.

Miracles are always full of randomness.

Therefore, I had to record it all as an observer.

How many people will be able to witness reincarnation and spiral, and the eternity that stretches away.

……

And, a little book.

The short story "Spider Thread" written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa has yellowing pages, at least it doesn't look like it was printed in the Heisei period.

The torn corners of the book were repaired several times with transparent glue.

There are some kana phonetic notations on it, and the ballpoint pen writing is very classical and elegant.

"Sakyamuni was grateful that the sinner Gandota in the blood pool of hell had released a spider before his death, so he dropped a spider silk from the Paradise to hell.

The overjoyed Gandado quickly tried his best to climb up, only to find that there were other sinners struggling like ants behind him.

Gandado was afraid that the spider's thread would be torn, so he rebuked them loudly and asked the sinners to return to hell.

At this moment, the spider silk broke and Gandado fell into the blood pool again. "

Interesting clues.

It seemed that their current situation was like a spider's thread. Li Min pursed his lips, and the fragmented feeling gradually faded away. Now he only felt that this white dream was just a little chaotic.

It can’t be called a good dream, but it can’t be called a bad dream either.
