At this moment, Fan Ning suddenly recalled a sentence in Teacher Anton's diary, "Why did they come out?"
Moving creatures, this should be some kind of terrifying and indescribable thing, right?
Whenever Fanning thinks about it, he thinks of the tragic situation of Professor Lorraine Browne in front of him.
"A migratory creature wants to be your partner?" His tone was very doubtful.
Fan Ning's spiritual sense was fully activated, and when he scanned Qiong's body, he could not see any unusual colors in her etheric body, emotional body and astral body.
But this does not rule out the potential risk of distortion and loss. I also examined the "translator" during the party, and found no abnormalities except for some agitated light and shadow interpretations.
Qiong looked directly at Fan Ning's oncoming gaze with a slight smile, and gradually returned to her usual lively and cheerful voice: "I know that place in Yiyong is chaotic and dangerous, because I have experienced it, and it was the purple bean cake that saved me. It
It’s different from those unknowable things dormant in the dark.”
"Then how did you encounter it?" Fan Ning asked.
“My ancestral home is located in the small town of Watznay on the outskirts of Uvranser. Every year when I go back to my hometown for vacation, I like to practice the flute in the attic of my ancestral home because I find that I can always get endless inspiration there.
Solve technical or emotional problems. Two or three years ago, when my inspiration reached a certain level, I discovered an unusual entrance in the dream. Then I arrived at the migration and received the hidden knowledge about the phase of the 'key'.
Become a knowledgeable person.”
"I can't remember clearly what happened next. Anyway, because there were no road signs, I ended up in a very scary place. Fortunately, Purple Bean Cake helped me find the way back to the world when I woke up."
After hearing this, Fan Ning finally understood why Qiong didn't even know some common sense information from knowledgeable people.
According to the "Translation of the Collection of Seven Lights" I read during the day, the phase of "Key" may correspond to abstract concepts such as "matter, reason, insight, science, creation, dismantling, lightning". Study the phase of "Key"
Those with knowledge can better interpret and accept hidden knowledge, and have talents in constructing secret rituals, inventions, and dismantling seals. A small number of people may also gain the strange ability to control wounds or lightning.
The most suitable age for promotion to a knowledgeable person is actually between 20 and 35 years old. At this age, the personality tends to be stable, the character becomes mature, the resistance to the pollution of hidden knowledge is relatively stronger, and the body functions have not declined, and the spirit is in the world.
The reliance on appearance still has abundant vitality.
When Qiong was promoted, she was really young enough, at the level of a genius, and her personality was too innocent. Fortunately, no bad consequences occurred.
This can be regarded as my selfish choice to help her resist risks. Sooner or later, I will need to form my own extraordinary power and a symphony orchestra.
"So what happened to the purple bean cake? It sounds like an accident from your tone, but it is still alive?"
"I can't remember this either clearly," Qiong replied.
Fan Ning widened his eyes in confusion: "Why can't you remember this? Aren't you personally experienced the time, place, and reason? Otherwise, how do you know that collecting the radiant spirit liquid can save it?"
Joan explained: "Based on my previous communication with it, it seems that it cannot clearly distinguish the concepts of 'living' and 'death', or it cannot use these concepts to describe their status at all. In their world,
Only to be 'remembered' or 'forgotten'."
Fan Ning fell into thinking. For some reason, he thought of a term in the implicit knowledge framework: "Secret History"!
Joan continued: "It must have helped me resolve some crisis later, and then got hurt. I began to gradually 'forget' it and things about it. This process was long and uncomfortable, because I didn't want to forget it."
"Have you ever tried some methods to combat forgetfulness, such as keeping a diary or something?"
"I tried it, but it didn't work. The feeling is not that you forget a certain sentence and you can recall it by re-reading your notes, but that when you read what you wrote the day before the next day and you think you remember it wrong, you just
Go to revise, and on the third day you feel that the previously revised content is still wrong. Time after time, day by day, your memory becomes more and more confusing, and finally your self-consciousness simply chooses to block them."
"What a strange experience."
"In the next two years, I collected as much occult information as possible, searched for ancient books and artifacts in every corner of the city, and asked Xilan to translate various documents. I wanted to know if there was any other way to save Purple Bean Cake."
"Is there a possibility that it is just a false memory in your brain?" Fan Ning put forward a guess, "If a knowledgeable person accepts implicit knowledge, it will be accompanied by various risks, cognitive collapse, and personality deviation.
, memory tampering may occur.”
Qiong shook his head: "I once thought so, but then I found a secret ritual related to the Lord of Witnesses, 'Winter Wind'. Each operation can restore a very small amount of my memory fragments, and therefore I received its weak
response, I was sure it was true.”
"The operation of this secret ritual requires a large amount of radiant spiritual liquid?" Fan Ning asked.
"Yeah, so it's difficult. My current collection progress and execution frequency can barely offset the speed of forgetting, and I'm starting to recover my memory very slowly. I can now remember its name accurately, and I remember that it likes to listen to me playing the flute.
, I remember that it first emerged from an abstract painting in the attic of my ancestral home. I still remember that it looked like a large purple ball of light in the astral world and in the migration, with only a pair of long arcs on the surface.
Green eyes...Also, I remember the warnings it gave me several times, and it told me: Be careful of the Harmony School."
"The Harmony School?" Fan Ning asked doubtfully.
It seems that this name does not exist in the school officially recognized by Tioleian. Perhaps you can look for relevant documents in the future.
Could it be that the Nehemiah family had entanglements with some secret organizations of knowledgeable people in history?
Fan Ning turned to look at the little girl shivering in the cold night, and finally understood why she "preferred to seek death" and took risks many times.
His tone was gentle: "Well, this can barely be considered as clarifying the ins and outs of the matter. I will try my best to help you with the matter of the radiant spirit liquid in the future. Maybe one day you can successfully rescue Purple Bean Cake."
"No, no, no, no." Joan looked a little embarrassed, "Caron, I can't repay you for the bottle you gave me before. Do you think it's okay to give you money?"
"Why are you so sure you can't repay it?" Fan Ning said with a smile, "Tell us about the abnormal area."
"I wrote a small note for you." Qiong's face turned a little red, but fortunately Fan Ning didn't notice, "It's just that I feel that the amount of information I have is far less than the value of your spiritual liquid. Well, then
I thought you were Mr. Mendeleev, a passer-by, and I didn’t think twice about you, so just be happy..."
Fan Ning couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
This girl used to think that she was being taken advantage of and was trying to plunder money.
"I haven't had time to read your note since I came out, so just tell me."
Joan nodded.
"Abnormal areas are a topic that the imperial authorities keep secret, and their coordinates are naturally kept secret. However, if you follow the official civilian map and go to the borders of the irregular closed curves, you can see the largest abnormal area. In addition,
There are also some uninhabited areas that are not marked on civilian maps, and it is likely that there are also small independent abnormal areas."
"Abnormal zones have existed for a long time. It is said that some of them have strange boundaries that are clearly visible, while others are not obvious. I have never seen it with my own eyes. At the borders of land or offshore, countries will advise police officers not to enter, but due to the area
Too big and most borders cannot be defended."
"So what happens if you go in? Can't you get out?" Fan Ning asked.
"No, in fact, judging from the known statistics, as long as the entrants do not sleep inside, that is, they evacuate before the limit of sleepiness, the chance of escaping is quite high... But after they come out, their understanding of the inside is very confusing, notes
It has also been repeatedly altered by myself, unable to bring out particularly meaningful information. Also, in these abnormal areas, existing communication methods and recording methods will fail."
"What's in this?" Fan Ning frowned deeply.
Qiong said: "No one knows. It is said that the Special Inspection Department has been secretly investigating the situation of the abnormal area. They have an internal classification of the abnormal area. I don't know the specific evaluation criteria. But I deduced one from the descriptions in some ancient documents.
, a somewhat scary conclusion.”
"A terrible conclusion?" Fan Ning looked stern, "What?"
