Chapter 594 "Silence!" 》

"Didn't they already die in the 'disintegration field'?" Owen asked attentively, "A distress signal? What kind of signal? The revelation of the remains of the deceased is one of the common occult phenomena. If it is just similar to folklore rumors, If it’s something like channeling resentful souls—"

There was a click.

Lasus leaned over and opened a hidden compartment on the wall beside his knees, and lifted out a huge thing equipped with a large number of gears and turntables.

An old projector.

Judging from its awkward texture and size, it is the style of the 90s when it was first put into commercial release.

The popular movable movie projector on the market today is the product of engineers who have continued to optimize it for more than 20 years. Its portability has been improved a lot, but the old-fashioned projector in front of you has its own special feature: the mystery of being hewn on a red lacquered wooden box. Texture, as well as several steel rails and countertops that extend out and can be placed on candles.

Then, Lasus took out a box of nitrate film packaged in blue and black.

The "Joint Council of Tioleon City Colleges" stamp on the film label indicates that its actual place of origin is the Guidance School, while the trembling black writing on the inner packaging film is the name of the school's instructor, "Carmen Leon."

"The dream images recorded by the Guidance School using the 'Incinerator'?" Owen frowned as he looked at the stack of films.

The associated phase of the remains of the "Incineration Furnace" of the God of Instruments is "Candle", and it is contained in the "Spark Field", the secret realm of migration of the Guidance School. Its main purpose is to observe and record mystical phenomena.

In the mysterious side, which is centered on hidden knowledge and inspiration, this use is extremely important. The first thing for the newly promoted high-ranking members of their school is to arrange to enter the "Spark Field" in dreams, use the "Incinerator" to observe the image of the Huita from a distance, and enhance their understanding of the path of ascension.

And another use of "recording", to put it more bluntly, is "shooting"!

The technology of capturing images of the waking world is already available in modern times. However, do you want to record someone else’s dream or moving images for another person to see? From a practical perspective, it may be nonsense.

But it is possible if supplemented by the occult.

All normal materials on the surface of the world are sinking infinitely, and its wreckage is like a huge "signal radar" that can continuously burn those abnormal and mysterious factors into floating and rising smoke. Through "decoding" Hidden messages can be obtained from the light, shadow, smell, and shape of the smoke - this is probably the principle that outsiders understand.

Currently, in the entire mysterious world, only P. Boulez, the president of the Guidance School, has achieved this by relying on the remains of the "Incinerator".

He often obtains some unexpected information while dreaming, records it and brings it back to the waking world, and shares it with other official organizations on a limited basis.

"boom."

Lasus turned off the carbonized lamp in the room and placed the slender orange-red candles in specific positions one by one to light them.

Then put the first piece of stacked film into the read-write slot.

In the silent conversation room, the projector creaked, projecting a screen of light with jitters and noise onto another wall.

""Silence!"?"

Looking at the blood-red title with the same trembling posture that appeared on the wall, Owen first repeated it strangely.

Lasus immediately raised his finger:

"Don't make a sound while watching. This tape recorded by the Guidance School is a bit evil."

The title disappears.

The first scene seems to be the process of a "photographer" from lying down to sitting up. Logically speaking, it should be the "mirror perspective" or "observation perspective" of P. Boulez in his dream. Um? Could this be a moving image of where He Meng was before? .Owen felt a little strange.

Because the camera pans to the left, it shows an indoor scene.

Apart from being strange, old and narrow, there is nothing special about it.

It's just that the "photographer"'s poor camera shake makes people feel dizzy. It's similar to the uneasy feeling of the world's surface being damaged, permeating from every corner.

After watching it for a few more seconds, Owen felt that the quality of this image did reveal an indescribable weirdness, but compared to the various illogical dreams he had witnessed when he experienced Yiyong or Huita, for the time being, there was still A certain distance.

Soon, the camera included the figure of a tall, stiff man holding a silver cane.

He Meng, this person should be He Meng. Although his face is as blurry as in a dream, Owen feels that all the characteristics are him.

In the next period of time, He Meng made a series of anxious, abnormal, and generally unclear body movements in this small room, including using a cane to pry the window - looking into the outside world like a dangerous building. The crowded crimson ruins; kicking the wall violently with your feet - masses of gleaming unknown substances seeped out from the cracks; mumbling words and writing on the walls and cabinets - these places already exist A lot of densely packed words in mixed languages; moving carefully in various squatting or sideways ways - as if there were many other people in this room blocking his way

Suddenly, He Meng turned to look at Owen and Lasus, grinning half-smilingly.

Owen's scalp went numb and he almost jumped up, but then he realized that he was just looking in the direction of the "camera".

"Silence! 》The screening ended so abruptly.

"You can speak now," said Lasus.

"Do you recognize what kind of place this is?" Owen asked first.

"At least not in the waking world." Lasus shook his head.

"Finally he seemed to have discovered P. Boulez?"

"It seems so, but theoretically it shouldn't be. Boulez just 'transcoded' some of the abnormal smoke and light and shadow received by the 'Incinerator' wreckage into the form of an image."

Owen fell into thinking after hearing this.

what's the situation?

Do people go to such a place after death? Similar to the "underworld" or "hell" in the ignorant's concept? But this is not in line with the basic laws of occultism. There is no "underworld" or "hell" in the world. There are only moving boundaries that drift infinitely downward and far away. The "grid" of the dead will gradually lose their uniqueness during this drifting process. Sex becomes fragmented and mixed with each other.

He Meng's death - let's call it "death" for now - must have had some kind of particularity, way, location, or abnormal external interference.

After a moment of silence, Owen asked again:

"Why couldn't you speak just now? This video does look evil, but it only gave me the feeling of being 'trapped'. Why did you say you received their 'distress signal' before? Is this a more precise inference?"

"Better not, because"

Lassius took a deep breath.

"It seems like they can hear you."

"There have been several people from the official organization who spoke up during the screening, and after a while they received messengers from them!"
