Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 255 One hundred and seventy. Sanity more dangerous than imagined

  Same as last time, the sanity test is still a lot of Tesla talking about.

  Tesla motioned Lu Li to touch the dark branch again, his fingertips touched, and the inspiration accompanied the homologous object into the void, the cold and maliciousness around him appeared for a moment, and disappeared when Lu Li retracted his palm.

  Swish——

   There was a sound like leaves blowing around the dining table. Under the watchful eyes of the two at the table and the Alliance staff who were wiping cups at the bar not far away, scratches suddenly appeared on the surface of the dark branches, more scarred than last time.

   After a few seconds, the sound of the leaves blowing disappeared, the dark branches no longer added scratches, and the pitted branches were even worse than the one gnawed by Hades.

   "Your problem is more serious..." Even if he was prepared, Tesla still frowned tightly when he saw it, and his eyes fell on Lu Li: "But you seem to be fine."

   "I can't feel any other changes except for the more frequent hallucinations." Lu Li replied, looking down at the milk, but didn't move.

  What Tesla perceives: "What's wrong with the milk?"

   "If you see a fluffy intestine swimming around in milk, you don't want to drink it either."

"It can be imagined." Tesla's brows gradually stretched, and Lu Li's calmness infected him, he picked up the coffee cup that was no longer hot, stopped suddenly when he put it to his mouth, raised his head and asked, "Is there an illusion in my coffee? ?"

  Although you can't see it, it's still a little uncomfortable to drink a cup of illusion.

"No."

  Tesla took a sip with confidence.

   "Where is my first stage?"

   Just put down the coffee cup when he heard Lu Li ask.

  Tesla looked at the jet-black branches on the dining table that had no longer released their breath and turned into ordinary tattered branches, and replied: "The degree of transition from the mid-term to the late-stage."

   After digitization, it will be between 70 and 80, and if it is below 70, it will transition to the second stage.

  The reason for the decrease in Sanity and a large factor is related to the return of the dead. He stayed there all night, although his Sanity dropped slowly while on the boat.

  Tesla's warning suddenly came from the opposite side: "You must pay attention to your sanity, it is very dangerous now. I will apply to the committee later, before your sanity recovers-"

   The voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly thought that all Lu Li lost was his true sanity, and it was impossible to recover.

   "You can pretend you don't know anything." Lu Li calmly looked at Tesla's brown eyes and said.

   "I'm the head of the Belfast region."

   Saying so, Tesla hesitated.

   There is no doubt that Tesla, as the regional head, is responsible for all investigators in the region. When an investigator's physical and psychological condition is no longer suitable for the job, he will make arrangements for the investigator.

   But as an "elder" who is optimistic about Lu Li, Tesla clearly knows that Lu Li is doing something important to him, and even ignores his own sanity.

  Like Lu Li's confusion when faced with weirdness, this kind of confusion Tesla can feel right now - he doesn't know which choice will hurt Lu Li.

   or both.

   "I understand that the group of illusions in the second stage of Sanity will see me, is that so?"

Lu Li's inquiry sounded, and the topic changed abruptly, but Tesla was relieved that he didn't have to decide, and reminded: "Yes, but the word 'phantom' is no longer strict, another word is more suitable Describe them: 'projection'."

  Projection, generally speaking, is to project the appearance of a certain existence. It certainly seems more real than an illusion.

   "Because they are more real to me." Lu Li asked.

   "Yes, you can even 'interact' with the monsters in the inner world"

   Interaction here is by no means a fancy word.

   "Then will they hurt me?" Lu Li asked again.

Tesla thought for a while and replied: "If someone else was asking this question, I would say yes. Although the projections of the inner world cannot directly harm us, the breath and indescribable form they pervade will make People are close to collapse. Especially the former, most of the countless excellent investigators did not die in the incident, but the breath released by the world illusion projection after the Sanity value decreased. "

   This is an unsolvable problem, just like becoming a resentful spirit will inevitably become an evil spirit, the Sanity value will continue to decline due to the atmosphere of the world when it drops to the first stage.

Usually at this time, there are only two choices for people waiting for the exorcism: the real sanity value does not drop much, because the rest, the sanity value returns to normal, and then continue to work or retire; the real sanity value drops a lot, even after the rest, it does not recover Normal, desperately watching the sanity value decrease day by day, the illusions become real day by day, and finally fall into madness and die miserably.

   No matter how determined the exorcist is, he can't resist the invasion of true sanity.

   Too many good exorcists have died because of sanity.

   "But you are different. You can't perceive those breaths, and you can't feel the most terrifying scene brought about by the decrease in sanity. It's just that I can't be sure, can you still be immune to these in the second stage?"

  Lu Li was thinking of other questions: "If I enter the second stage, will the existence of the world surround me because they see me?"

   He imagined a scene surrounded by layers of pitch-black ghosts, and if this was the case, it would be difficult for him to do his own thing.

   "Not so exaggerated."

As if seeing what Tesla was thinking in Lu Chen's heart, he said: "The inner world is not one layer, it is an overlapping space formed by countless strange worlds stacked together. They do not always overlap with the human world, but will be FM interleaved like a radio station. You often come into contact with homologs, and you should have found that there is sometimes a lot of malice in the surrounding void, sometimes very little, sometimes new ones appear, and sometimes they disappear."

  Lu Li nodded, the vision he was seeing now was close to this. They appear unexpectedly from time to time, and disappear after a brief period of time.

   solved the doubts, and Lu Li was about to leave the base.

   "What are you going to do next?" Tesla looked up at Lu Li who stood up and said.

"make money."

  Tesla was silent for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although I don't know what you want with so much money, I wish you an early fulfillment of your wish."

"thanks."

  Lu Li nodded to him, walked around the dining table, and walked towards the pipeline passage behind Tesla.

   let out a faint sigh, Tesla picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

   At this moment, the sound of the distant footsteps suddenly returned.

  Tesla tilted his head, stared strangely at Landing and returned, took his glass of milk and drank it, then left again.

   This time he really left.
