Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

Green's condition suddenly deteriorated, like a stove fire swinging without wind, and the gloomy shadow created by the gloomy light on a rainy day shrouded his face. Although he concealed it well and adjusted quickly, the subtle changes did not escape Kraft's observation.

So the answer is yes, those voices have found him.

"It seems the situation is more complicated than I thought." The doctor changed his sitting posture, "Can you tell me what it is like?"

Green was holding hot tea, his eyes wandering behind the mist, and his focus moved around the room.

Clean cabinets, corners away from the windows, and slightly wider brick gaps on the wall are all places where you can see the bottom at a glance. Perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they are subconsciously hiding places for something.

"It's almost the same as what's described in the brochure." It can be noticed that the priest is deliberately resisting the urge to distract, and the result of the conditioned reflex training is that he can never relax and is always ready for something that may appear from any angle. things react.

"But the experience I encountered was far worse than described."

"How to say?"

"A voice, but much more than that. A simple voice cannot drive people crazy. You can clearly feel its presence, a very weird feeling, as if there is a person or something like a person suddenly somewhere. .”

"Then there was the sound. It was quite clear. You could tell it was a human voice, at least intuitively."

"Do you think it has meaning? Could it be a language."

"Unlikely, the timbre and pronunciation are different every time, very vague." The tea finally cooled down a little, the mist was dissipating, but the fog in Green's eyes was far from dissipating, "But it is directional, you can feel it. What comes to you is the vibration on an invisible rope, coming from the other end.”

Kraft points out the contradiction: "You say it's clear, and you say it's blurry?"

"What's clear is the sound, what's vague is the meaning. Yes, what's the meaning?" The fog in the priest's eyes gradually turned into a look of thought.

He looked as if he had stuck his upper body into the mouth of the well, heard a signal below that was not an echo, and subconsciously continued to lean in, trying to figure out what it was.

"Stop, stop, why don't you stop thinking about it first." Kraft didn't intend to let him go in. Most of the time he wouldn't get the answer, and the small number of people who really wondered what was going on would only make the situation worse.

"My suggestion now is to immediately grab your ID and money bag, pack a few sets of clean clothes, go downstairs and take the side door. The carriage that brought me here is still there. Get on it and find a high ground to live in the suburbs. Stay there until there is no sound anymore."

"Escape is not a virtue." This is obviously not a constructive opinion and does not meet the expectations of professional standards.

"I don't think it's considered brave to face being sick, right?"

From Kraft's point of view, deep-seated effects actually have something in common with many diseases, and tertiary prevention will never go out of style.

The first level is to stay away from risk factors and prevent the occurrence; the second level is to "early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment" in the preclinical stage to curb the progress.

Green currently belongs to the second stage, and early diagnosis can be made: there is a clear history of contact, and the symptoms are not typical but basically consistent.

Early treatment is often very simple, and the trend can be reversed without the need for strong medication. However, because of its simplicity, it is often underestimated and the disease is allowed to progress.

For example, people like Green seem a little scared. When they really want to take measures, they will immediately tell themselves things like "In the end, it's just auditory hallucinations", "It's just a few dreams", "It's not like they haven't faced entities directly" and so on. excuse.

So it was pushed to the third level and has entered the clinical course. In order to prevent it from entering an irreversible vicious circle, thunderous measures are inevitable.

So he sincerely suggested: "Really, just try it for a few days, make a note of it when you hear the sound, and then count the number of times every day. If there is a downward trend, it means I am right."

Kraft held the tea cup and looked at Green, hoping that he could see his sincerity.

The two parties have been cooperating for a long time, and it can be considered a friendship of fighting side by side; on the one hand, he does not want the other party to suffer any irreversible mental or physical damage due to completely avoidable reasons.

On the other hand, he will still be the one to take action at that time, so even if it is to avoid increasing the workload and shortening the life expectancy, he should give more advice.

"Seriously, I think it's worth considering. You've done enough, just treat it as a rare day off. Even if the Father created the world, he would have a day off." Wading was persuaded first, but he was more Knowing that it would be impossible for Green to leave everything behind, "I will send new paperwork over every day."

"This is indeed a solution, but we have to trouble Wadin." Under the pressure of his friends and Kraft, the priest finally wavered. "I have to explain to my superiors why I have to leave the city during the restricted movement period."

"I am glad to."

Vadin's face said "If you are willing to give up temporarily and continue to waste time on these things, I can save you from the trouble", but he wisely did not mention it. The two maintained a surprisingly tacit understanding and sent Green out first.

"But..." Seeing that things were about to succeed, Green had another turning point.

"No but, the most important thing now is to deal with your condition. Putting a mentally ill priest in the post is also disrespectful to Heavenly Father." Kraft tried to interrupt him from the church's perspective.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Green drank all the water in the glass, "I have an idea."

"Professor Kraft, you think the distance may be too close and that thing is still exerting an influence on us, is that right?"

"That's right."

"You gave me a small bottle before, with a salt inside, called 'black salt'. It will melt when that kind of thing is close." The priest opened up a certain idea, opened the drawer, and pulled out a wax-reflected bottle from the top. A sealed metal vial that is glued on.

"Since that thing can already affect people, can it affect black salt at this distance?"

"Huh?" Craft almost forgot about this thing. After all, actual combat has proven that the effect is extremely limited. When he can remember to shake it and hear it melting obviously, he can find the problem without using it.

He was really confused, like being asked by a patient from an angle that he had never thought of during ward rounds. He was trying hard to organize the information in his mind to answer, "Theoretically, I am not sure about the impact of black salt on people and how it affects people." Whether the impact is of the same kind.”

"Even if they belong to the same species, the impact on people's spirits should be far less than the power to create unnatural phenomena. The changes in black salt may not be enough to make the sound of shaking the bottle different."

"So is there a way to observe such subtle changes?" Green, as a layman, put forward new functional requirements, "So maybe we can directly 'see' its impact?"

"It makes sense, I have to think about it."

I would like to recommend the group friend's "Cosmic Survival Guide" again, because I have finished reading it and want to read the follow-up.
