Chapter 26: Sometimes I have to play Sherlock Holmes
Before the two souls were fused, either out of hobby or grandfather's threat, they both had a certain understanding of calligraphy in alphabetical languages. Long-term active or passive practice made this new soul familiar with various writing techniques. The difference is becoming more and more sensitive.
Kraft mobilized his consciousness and entered a state of meticulous observation and photographic memory. He forced himself to ignore the vague and strange feeling coming from his intuition and devoted himself to analyzing the papers on the floor.
The weight of the strokes and the stability of the strokes will significantly affect the thickness of the strokes, which reflects a person's state when writing. The continuous strokes between letters mean the fluency of writing, familiarity with words, and overall Grasp the relevant points. Although it can be added after writing, it is also possible to distinguish the unnatural points of the transition and transition.
And if the words were written in similar conditions, the handwriting is mostly similar. In the records of this place, they can be roughly classified into three categories.
The first is a category that takes the professor's letter to himself as an example. The writing content in this part well reflects the professor's attainments in this area, highlighting a kind of "impractical magnificence".
These coherent and smooth lines are actually not obtained by writing quickly, but by reducing the strength at the end of the stroke and gently pulling it to the position of the next letter, forming a continuous stroke. In actual writing, this kind of Not only is writing inefficient, but it is also easy to make mistakes due to hand shaking.
But the lines that go back and forth will make the written words have a sense of integrity and beauty. Coupled with the professor's good control over line spacing and letter size, on paper without auxiliary horizontal lines, it still maintains machine-like neatness and precision. .
The professor must have been in a good state of mind when writing these words, so that he had the energy to pursue an almost extreme level of delicacy and beauty in his handwriting.
The second font should be used when faster speed is required.
Most of the strokes in these fonts are slightly thinner, and when you pick them up and look closely, there are fewer burrs caused by the ink bleeding, which means that the professor writes quickly and stays for a short time.
There are often sudden breaks in these contents. The continuous writing of the text suddenly gets stuck where it should be, leaving a broken head or a stuck ink spot. It seems that the words were paused and considered during the writing. The original The train of thought was interrupted and continued, which somewhat disrupted the rhythm.
After continuing to write, the professor casually added a stroke and reconnected the disconnected parts. Because it was a newly added part, it was not as natural as continuous writing when examined carefully, leaving Kraft with the possibility of discovery.
As for the third type, it is the best one to pick out. It is obvious that the writer's mind is not on the hand when writing such notes. The thickness of the strokes is uneven, and the coherence and integrity are poor. Often the letters within a page are different. There is a difference in the degree of tilt, which is rare for a person with a fixed writing habit.
In this type of record, there were at least half more words that neither Kraft nor Lucius knew than on other sheets of paper, and as many as half a page even contained completely unreadable information.
Uppercase and lowercase are mixed with each other, and parts that do not conform to writing standards can be seen everywhere. They are separated from each other by indistinguishable punctuation. They look like clerical errors but cannot be deduced from the original meaning.
In the most serious pictures, the gaps between the letters are broken, crowded and stacked, and they would rather squeeze into a ball than expand into the blank space next to them. The level is comparable to Kraft's level before he practiced calligraphy, and the recognition level is infinitely close to zero.
There are also a handful of awkward characters that Kraft has no clue about and do not conform to any writing method. Some are drawn against the normal direction. After finding that there is not enough ink, they are drawn in the same position several times until the paper is destroyed.
The surface fibers were hard carved with traces.
"Are you really sure this is the professor's handwriting?" Kraft picked out the third priority and asked Lucius, pointing to the strokes that pierced the paper on one of them.
This way of writing is not only ugly, it will also cause great damage to the pen tip and make a harsh friction sound when writing. Imagine a needle scratching across sandpaper full of small bumps, causing an uncomfortable sound as it scratches the eardrum.
, an irregular tremor is transmitted to the fingertips holding the penholder.
Transposing this action to the tip of the pen, at least Kraft is consciously intolerable, and can effectively treat hypotension symptoms at the moment he sees it. Judging from others, normal people are unlikely to like this kind of operation, so
For example, humans will instinctively reject the ultimate noise of scraping an iron pot with a spatula.
Lucius took a closer look and gave a definite answer: "I happen to have some impression of this, and it was indeed written by the professor. Because it was a note taken just before leaving, and it looks special, so I can be sure."
Kraft frowned, folded the piece of paper on top, and brought it to the window to try to understand the professor's meaning again.
Many people may have their own special way of writing, and they will twist into a ball when they write fast and don't pay attention. But this is different. He can be sure that this is definitely not a special capitalization of any letter.
Using the pen in reverse, the pen tip scratched the paper fibers, and it took several strokes to "carve" the symbol. The ink was sometimes more and sometimes less, and was scattered among the damaged fibers, turning a line into lumps and irregular dots.
A string of rosary beads.
Kraft's consciousness absorbed its shape and matched it with the lesions formed by tuberculosis in narrow tube lumens, like a rosary of tumors and cysts. The disgusting outline was the result of the distortion of an ordered thing.
The sharp and retracing ink lines passed through the surroundings and concentrated on another symbol, like a skinny hand with slender nails digging into the disease. The long and narrow letters were as chaotic as a swarm of flying flies surrounding them, and the arranged trajectory was like a circle.
It is also like a square shape, and if you look at it for a long time, you will have the illusion of movement and deformation.
He has never seen such words. No, he should not use words to describe such unnatural things. People who still have sense should not and cannot erase such things.
If that was the record left by Professor Kalman, Kraft would rather believe that an evil spirit really took over the professor's body, deceived everyone, and then wrote the worst joke it knew.
"No, there must be something wrong." Kraft threw out his conclusion and looked away from the paper. It is not easy to gather the consciousness after it diverges, and the mind is filled with inevitable associations, which are pulled out of the memory.
The most unappetizing or profound things are combined into the current content and become the product of nausea.
The feeling of nausea forced him to stay away from the papers as quickly as possible and put them back into a closed container that could not be seen.
"I think I've found some clues. Let's separate them first."
"Okay, you have the final say when the professor is not here." Lucius followed suit and took out a few pieces of wood to use as bookmarks.
So Kraft spent some time sorting the three types of records and put them back into the boxes, separated by wooden pieces to facilitate further subdivision and sorting next time.
With two more clicks, the lid of the box was closed again, and the room returned to a tidy and comfortable state. Kraft breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief. But the matter was far from over. The secret laboratory that did not know what it was like,
Now I'm waiting for them to deal with it in medical school.
It's impossible to build a gas mask, and it's not reliable to just cover it with a wet cloth. You have to think of other ways.
If there is any way, there is indeed no way. Kraft thought of the equipment that often matched the black doctors in the Middle Ages-the beak mask. It does exist in this world.
He really didn't know the specifics. His knowledge of this was limited to some popular science articles from unknown sources, which said that the bird's mouth was stuffed with cloth bags filled with spices and herbs.
It seems to make some sense, right? But it also seems to make no sense at all.
"Lucius, I would like to ask, are there any masks here that are worn when meeting plague patients? The kind with a pointed beak." Kraft clasped his hands together in front of his mouth to make a bird's beak.
Look.
"Is it really necessary?" Lucius couldn't understand. Today he was exhausted physically and mentally by Kraft, and his enthusiasm for the experiment was drained a lot. "Even if it is really poisonous, we only drank the diluted sample."
He's unconscious."
For a moment, the thought "It seemed that I was really too vigilant" took over, and Kraft quickly got rid of it. Before, because the professor and Lucius often did experiments, he opened the door for ventilation every day; now this
It’s hard to say what will happen if the laboratory is closed for a week if it is really volatile.
If you prepare too much, you will only waste a while. If you don't prepare, you will probably waste all the rest of your life. He can calculate this account clearly.
