After the Strange Talk Prevails

Chapter 12: The connection between body and spirit

   The first mission to perform left a huge psychological shadow on Zhou Ming. Although he didn't feel strange during the day, the hand feeling and the roar of the experimenter were like a brand, which lingered in his mind.

   He had a nightmare that night, dreaming that he had become the person imprisoned by the subject.

   At three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ming suddenly woke up and found that he was lying on the bed coldly, and the air temperature around him seemed to drop below zero.

Zhou Ming soon realized that the low temperature was not an illusion. He opened his eyes, and the moonlight reflected outside the window illuminated the hoarfrost on the ceiling. The soft ice crystals were like pale mildew attached to the four corners; thin ice. The layer covers the entire bed, and the icicles on the edge of the bed hang down to the ground, sticking to the ice blanket on the floor.

   And he himself, like a cold-treated corpse lying on a frozen bed, with the palms of his hands embedded in the ice, the cold sweat on his body has been frozen into ice beads.

   "Call—"

   "Call—"

   Zhou Ming panted, struggling to break the ice and free his hands.

   Although the ice cubes were cold, long-term contact with ice cubes did not cause him any tingling or discomfort, as if he was already familiar with such low temperatures.

   Zhou Ming's gaze slowly swept across the frost, his expression gradually changed from surprised to calm.

   This ability to freeze should be a spell.

   Incantation is the product of the accumulation of curse power in the human body. It is the only supernatural power that can be mastered by humans and is the closest to weird supernatural power, similar to supernatural powers and spells.

   This kind of power cannot be mastered through learning, nor is it the innate talent in the novel. It is not so much a special ability, but more like a symbol and warning.

Once mastering the spell, it means that the person concerned has crossed the boundaries of normal people, the body has been unable to dissolve the incantation power invaded into the body, and the deposit of the incantation power begins in the body. From then on, the person's mental state will only change. With the passage of time, it gradually deteriorated and can no longer return to normal.

   "Damn it!" Zhou Ming cursed and got up from the bed.

   First, he took the ice sheets off the bed and moved them into the toilet, broke the ice cubes and soaked them in the water, and took a hot bath by himself.

   He has been wrong all the time. He is too optimistic about his current situation, completely unaware of how bad the situation he is facing.

   The mess left by the original owner is not only the identity of the criminal suspect, but also the severely alienated body.

   He should have been aware of the mutual influence of body and spirit. He should have noticed it when he was in the air-raid shelter. Even if his psychological quality in his previous life was better than that of ordinary people, he was definitely not the kind of person who could cut off a woman's foot without hesitation.

   He can carry out that cruel act without hesitation. The only explanation is that the body affected his mind, and the alienation of the body led to the alienation of the spirit.

  Although Zhou Ming is still sober now, as time goes by, he will gradually become like the original owner. As for when he will go completely crazy, he has no idea at all.

   "I'm really a lunatic." Zhou Ming sneered at his forehead.

   After taking a shower, he returned to the bedroom. The ice on the ground had already melted. Zhou Ming was lost in thought looking at the red lines and photos on the wall.

   When he just crossed over, he noticed this strange wall.

The pictures on the wall are pinned to the world map with pushpins, and a note is hung on the cap of each pushpin, which reads-[Bermuda Triangle: Ghost Islands], [Sakura Country, Kyoto: Hyakki Night Walk], [Yan Country, Kunlun:? ? ? 】...

The name of the place is written on the    note, followed by the name of the strange phenomenon, and the serial number and date are also marked in the corner.

These photos are scattered on the map and connected by red lines. The red lines between some photos are straight, and the red lines between some photos are zigzags. The red lines outline a winding trajectory on the world map, like a zigzag course in the center of the ocean. After a circle, every section of the length will be fixed with pushpins, and a note with the date will be hung up, which looks a bit like a traveler’s itinerary.

   Zhou Ming sat down in front of the computer again and started it up.

   He didn't turn on the light. The blue and white light from the computer screen was the only light source in the room.

   He stared at the screen blankly, his face was photographed blue and white, like a wax figure fixed in front of a computer desk.

   As soon as I turned on the computer, an email popped up. The sender was Wang Siyan. The email asked him when he would return to school, saying that someone from the relevant department would come to the school to recruit people soon, so he went back quickly.

   Wang Siyan is one of the few people Zhou Ming is very familiar with in this world. She is Zhou Ming's childhood sweetheart.

   In addition to Wang Siyan, Zhou Ming also has a best friend named Zhang Wei. The three of them grew up together, and they were all in the same class in the original middle and high schools of the world. They didn't separate until university.

   But somehow, in this world, they went to the same university.

   Zhou Ming's fingers flicked on the keyboard and typed a line of words: [I will go back soon in a few days. 】

   Press the Enter key, send the email, and then open the document to start browsing.

   A few seconds later, an interesting title suddenly jumped into Zhou Ming's sight. The name of the document was "Masked Ball", and there was an asterisk sign next to it representing important.

   Zhou Ming opens the document:

[The other me, what I want to say to you next is very important, but I’m sorry I can’t elaborate because I’m not sure if you will actually come into this world. If you don’t come, this article will be seen by others. Not a good thing.

   What I want you to do now is very important, it's about whether you can keep yourself in this world.

You have to do this every day. The specific method is to keep yourself awake during the process of falling asleep and maintain a feeling that you will not be asleep. At the same time, imagine yourself in a lively and luxurious hall. A masquerade is being held.

  You have to keep imagining like this. Although this kind of imagination can't bring you anything, as long as you succeed once, you will know what I am talking about now, and then you will know more important things.

   Remember, keep imagining and keep trying! Never give up! this point is very important.

   Your time is running out. If you can't succeed as quickly as possible, you will be like me. 】

   So far this article is over. There are three paragraphs in total, which is the shortest document left by the original owner.

   Zhou Ming stared at these lines and read it several times, his eyes fell on the last sentence-"If you can't succeed as soon as possible, then you will be like me..."

   will be like him...

   Zhou Ming's heartbeat started to speed up, and he suddenly realized that the original owner had already known that he would go crazy if he crossed over.

   In the videos and counseling materials left by the other party, except for the mental disorder in the first video, in all the remaining video materials, the other party's performance is very normal.

   Those videos have been professionally edited, and unnecessary clips have been deleted.

   So the first video is actually a crazy show that the other party deliberately gave him, the purpose is to tell him that if he can't do what he said, he will be as crazy as him!

   Zhou Ming sat in silence for a while, turned off the computer, and climbed back onto the bed, planning to make the first attempt.

   The craziness of this world is the biggest problem that the global government cannot solve, but Zhou Ming feels from the message left by the original owner that the other party seems to have a way to curb such craziness, and the premise of curbing is to have a lucid dream.

   Zhou Ming closed his eyes and recalled the way of falling asleep written in that document.

  The way of sleeping is very similar to the lucid dreams known by Zhou Ming. This kind of dream is a strong representation of the brain's subconscious mind. When the brain is obsessed with certain things, it will take over the dream from an unconscious chaotic state to a semi-conscious state.

   In this state, people have the ability to think and remember when they are awake in their dreams, and some people can even make their dreams feel the same as in the real world.

   Zhou Ming once tried it out of curiosity, and succeeded several times by accident, so he is also experienced in this kind of attempt.

   If he is lucky, it may not take a few times for him to succeed.

  ...

   The morning sun crawled to the edge of the curtains, ruthlessly piercing Zhou Ming's face, like a pair of invisible hands pulling his eyelids, but the strong light failed to wake him. The last thing that woke him was a phone call.

   "Buzzing—buzzing—"

   The vibrating mobile phone was about to fall from the bedside table. Zhou Ming grabbed it in his hand. The first thought in his mind was that he had failed in his dream, and he felt peacefully until dawn.

   He opened his sleepy eyes and saw an unfamiliar number without a name displayed on the phone.

   "Hello, hello." Zhou Ming got out of bed and walked towards the toilet, trying to make his voice sound more sober.

   "Well, yes, right...what? She's crazy?"

   "Okay, OK, I'll be over right away!"

   After a brief call ended, Zhou Ming looked in the mirror and was stunned.

   The relevant department told him that the woman he rescued yesterday and was sent there, did not sleep last night, went crazy early this morning, attacked the staff who served her breakfast, and tore off half of her palm.
