Chapter 64 Professor Marlowe’s invitation

The layers of meat slices are stacked into pillars and grilled till they are fragrant and brown. They are slowly rotated on a one-meter-long iron rod. From time to time, the waiter pours out ice-cold licorice juice from the huge copper pot next to the counter and delivers it to the guests' tables. .

At noon, the Turkish restaurant was almost full.

The chef's skills at this restaurant are indeed good. Zhu Mingyao picked up a piece of dolma from the plate and took a bite, feeling the slight acidity of the fermented grape leaves blooming on the tip of his tongue, which just diluted the greasy feeling brought by the mutton particles. Mixed with rice, it turns into an alluring sweetness that keeps reverberating in the mouth, making people appetizing.

Picking up the black tea in the cup and gargling his mouth, the boy enthusiastically opened the lid of the small earthen jar in front of him, paired it with a crisp and refreshing vegetable platter, and launched an attack on the pulpy beef stewed with enough spices in the jar. .

Except for a few polite words when he entered the table, Zhu Mingyao did not even raise his head during the whole process, focusing on the food on the table. Even Professor Marlowe made a few insinuations to lead the topic to mysterious and supernatural events. No interface at all, and a look of no interest.

Rushing is not a business! Zhu Mingyao understood this very well. The other party was obviously somewhat doubtful about his identity as an exorcist. It was not good for him to be too positive at this time.

It's just that he can sit still, but some people can't.

While Marlowe was chatting with Charlie Dalton, he frequently cast his eyes on the boy across the table. He himself didn't really believe in ghosts. As a psychology expert, he believes that he can reproduce the little tricks performed by psychics on TV, such as guessing card colors and reading minds, as long as he is fully prepared.

In fact, this is also the mainstream understanding in society. Today's era is in a period of spiritual silence. The extraordinary power is not too active, but the population has increased exponentially compared to ancient times. One decreases and the other increases. Under the deliberate cover-up by the authorities, most people will never come into contact with any supernatural beings throughout their lives, or they may come into contact without knowing it.

Therefore, at the beginning, the exorcist was not part of Marlowe's experimental plan. This was research on psychology, not a supernatural reality show on a television station.

However, Clay, who had just experienced a curse incident, tried his best to persuade him. He swore that he and his fiancée had witnessed the existence of evil spirits and exorcists with their own eyes, and told him to be careful and not regard the haunted house as just a legend. Professionals are on hand just in case.

After Clay's repeated persuasion, Marlowe's position inevitably wavered.

Although he still had doubts about the existence of supernatural powers, he still trusted the character of his disciple and current assistant. When he heard that he was willing to sacrifice his reputation and swear that everything he said was true, Maro felt too much. It wouldn't be a bad idea to pay some money to have a so-called exorcist go with you.

Anyway, the expenses can be reimbursed in the name of the volunteers participating in the experiment. As long as academic results can be produced, Southern Golden State University is relatively tolerant in budget approval.

It's just that this exorcist is a bit too young. Maro looked at the young man who was feasting, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Forget it, just think of it as one more experimental control sample.

He coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Milhaud, Professor Charlie and my assistant Clay both highly respect you...

Well, I am going to organize a psychological experiment recently, which is about how the terrifying environment of the outside world affects the psychology of human beings.

The venue for the experiment is a manor in the mountains with rumors of being haunted. As a professional, can you give us some valuable advice for those of us who are about to go to such a place? "

You put it so tactfully, why are you still here to get Joe?
  Zhu Mingyao calmly sipped the black tea to moisten his throat. "This kind of thing is more complicated to say. The phenomenon of the departed souls lingering in buildings and causing harassment and even harm to the living can only be generally referred to as a haunted house in the eyes of ordinary people."

"But in the eyes of professionals, from the different causes to the severity of the consequences, it can be divided into many situations."

“To put it simply, the least harmful one is that the location of the house, the spatial distribution and furnishings inside it happen to conform to certain concepts in occultism.

To use our Eastern terminology, it means that the feng shui is not good. People living there are prone to feel the reverberations left by the deceased, and suffer from insomnia, visual and auditory hallucinations and other phenomena. This situation can usually be effectively resolved by simply changing the environment inside and outside the house. "

"The above situation is that there are indeed ghosts in a broad sense, but it is mostly just a memory with strong obsessions. Apart from making some noise, it is basically impossible to cause any harm to healthy humans. Please A real psychic can communicate with it and resolve the obsession and it will automatically dissipate."

"The most serious one is when a special soul retains a relatively complete sense of self due to various coincidences, but due to unwillingness to die or being tainted by evil forces, it degenerates into hatred for the living. The twisted evil thing.

The wisdom of this kind of existence is not even inferior to that of ordinary people. They will build the place they occupy as their own nest, continue to kill for a long time, and absorb the essence and soul of living people in order to evolve to a higher level. At a high level, this situation must be resolved by one or more capable professionals. "

“Of course, it’s more likely that there is nothing at all, just rumors that the locals scare themselves.

All in all, we cannot generalize, but analyze specific issues in detail. "

Maro nodded slightly. Although this guy looked a little younger, his words and deeds seemed to be quite reliable. Regardless of whether the explanation of the haunted house above was true or false, at least it sounded serious.

He took the opportunity to continue chatting along with the voice. "Don't laugh at me, everyone. Let Mr. Milhaud say this. I'm really worried about this upcoming experiment. I don't know if there will be any danger..."

"Oh! Look how confused I am." He slapped his forehead exaggeratedly.

"Isn't there a ready-made expert sitting next to you? Mr. Milhaud, I sincerely invite you to participate in the psychological experiment that will be carried out at Corian Manor in a week.

Of course, I am a bystander rather than an experimenter. I wonder if you will be able to spare the time to go there? "

"Although hundreds of years have passed, the original owner, textile tycoon Hugh Crane, has long since died.

However, the local town government has been sending dedicated personnel to perform basic maintenance on this mountain manor, so that people today can have a lucky glimpse of the luxurious life of the upper class at the end of the 19th century.

You can think of it as a short getaway, and we'll offer you a suitable fee as a small compensation for taking up a few days of your time. "
