musicians of old

At this time, Fan Ning suddenly recalled a sentence in Teacher Anton's diary, "How did they come out?"

Moving creatures, this should be some kind of terrifying and indescribable thing, right?
As long as Fanning thinks about it, he thinks of the tragic situation of Professor Lorraine Brownie in front of him.

"A moving creature, to be your partner?" His tone was very suspicious.

Fanning's spiritual sense was fully activated, and he scanned Joan's body, but did not see any heterogeneous colors in her etheric body, emotional body, and astral body.

But this does not rule out potential distortion and risk of getting lost. I also examined the "translator" at the party, and except for some emotional light and shadow interpretations, there was no abnormality.

Joan smiled and looked directly at Fan Ning's oncoming eyes, and gradually recovered 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's not the same as those unknowable things that lurk in the dark."

"And how did you come across it?" Fanning asked.

"My ancestral home is in the small town of Watznay in the southwest of Uflandsel. When I go back to my hometown for vacation every year, I like to practice 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 found an unusual entrance in the dream, and then I arrived at Yi Chung, and received the hidden knowledge about the aspect of the 'key', become wise."

"I don't remember the process clearly. In short, because there were no road signs, I fell into a terrible place. Fortunately, Purple Bean Cake helped me find the way back to the world when I woke up."

Hearing this, Fan Ning finally understood why Joan's cognition in the mysterious field was so unsystematic. On the one hand, he didn't even know some commonsense information from those who knew it, and on the other hand, he knew a lot of strange things.

According to the translation of the "Seven Lights Precepts" read during the day, the phase of the "key" may correspond to abstract concepts such as "matter, rationality, insight, science, creation, disassembly, and lightning". Study the phase of the "key" Those with knowledge can better interpret and accept hidden knowledge. They have talents in constructing secret rituals, inventing and creating, and dismantling closed objects. A small number of people may also obtain the strange ability to control wounds or lightning.

The most suitable age to be promoted to a person with knowledge is actually 20-35 years old. At this age, the personality tends to be stable, the personality becomes mature, and the resistance to hidden knowledge pollution is relatively stronger, while the body functions have not declined, and the spirit is in the world. Relying on appearance is still full of vitality.

When Joan was promoted, she was really young, with a genius level, and her personality was too naive. Fortunately, there were no bad results.

This can be regarded as my own selfishness in choosing 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 Purple Bean Cake? It sounds like an accident from your tone, but it's still alive?"

"I, I can't remember that either," Joan replied.

Fan Ning's eyes widened in confusion: "Why can't you remember this? Didn't you personally experience the time, place, and reason? Otherwise, how did you know that collecting the brilliance spiritual liquid can save it?"

Joan explained: "As far as I have communicated with it, it seems that it can't distinguish between the concepts of 'alive' and 'death', or it can't use these concepts to describe their state. In their world, Only to be 'remembered' or to be 'forgotten'."

Fan Ning fell into thinking. For some reason, he thought of a term in the Hidden Knowledge Framework: "Secret History"!
Joan continued: "It must have helped me resolve some crisis again later, and then I was hurt. I gradually 'forgot' about it and things about it. This process is long and uncomfortable, because I don't want to forget it."

"Have you tried some methods to combat forgetting, such as keeping a diary or something?"

"Tried it, it's useless. The feeling is not simply that you forget a certain sentence and you can recall it by rereading the notes, but that when you go to read what you wrote the day before the next day, you think you remember it wrong. Go to revise, and on the third day you feel that the revised content is still wrong, time after time, day by day, your memory is getting more and more confused, and finally self-awareness simply chooses to block them.”

"What a strange experience."

"In the past two years, I collected mystical materials as much as possible, searched for ancient books and relics in the corners of the city, and dragged Xilan to translate various documents, wondering if there was any other way to save the purple bean cake."

"Is there a possibility that it is just a wrong memory in your brain?" Fan Ning put forward a guess, "A person with knowledge accepts hidden knowledge, which will be accompanied by various risks, such as cognitive collapse and personality shift. , memory tampering, are all possible."

Joan shook her head: "I used to think so too, but I later found a secret ritual related to the Lord of Witness 'Northern Wind', each operation can restore a very small amount of memory fragments to me, so I received its weak Response, I'm sure it's true."

"The operation of this secret ritual requires a large amount of brilliant liquid?" Fan Ning asked.

"Well, so it's difficult. My current collection progress and execution frequency can barely offset the forgetting speed, and I'm starting to restore 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 came out of an abstract painting in the attic of my ancestral home, and I still remember that it looked like a big purple ball of light in the astral world and the shift, with only a pair of long arcs growing on the surface Green eyes... Also, I remember its warnings to me several times, it told me: Beware of the Harmony School."

"Harmonization school?" Fanning asked doubtfully.

It seems that there is no such name in the school officially recognized by Tiolein, maybe you can look for relevant documents in the future.

Could it be that the Nehemiah family had entanglements with certain secret organizations of the wise in history?
Fan Ning turned his head to look at the little girl shivering in the cold night, and finally understood why she "prefers to die" and has been in danger many times.

His tone was gentle: "Then, this can barely be regarded as the ins and outs of the matter. I will try my best to help you with the matter of the Yaozhi spiritual liquid in the future. Maybe someday you can successfully rescue the purple bean cake."

"No, no, no, no." Joan looked a little embarrassed, "Callon, I can't even pay you back for the bottle you gave me earlier, can you give me the money?"

"How can you be sure that there is no other way of compensation?" Fan Ning smiled, "Let's talk about the abnormal area."

"I wrote you a note." Joan's face was a little red, but Fanning didn't pay attention, "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 about you carefully, so just be happy..."

Fanning couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

This girl used to think she was being taken advantage of, and she was pulling wool.

"I haven't had time to read your note since I came out, so just say it."

Joan nodded.

"The anomalous area is a topic that the imperial authorities keep a close eye on. Their coordinates are naturally kept secret. However, if you follow the official civilian map and go to the borders of those irregular closed curves, you can see the largest anomalous area. In addition There are also uninhabited areas that are not marked on civilian maps, and it is likely that there are also small isolated areas of anomaly."

"Anomalous areas have existed for a long time. It is said that some of them have obvious and visible strange borders, while others are not obvious. I have never seen it with my own eyes. At the borders of land or offshore, organizations of knowledgeable people and the military in various countries will persuade curious people Do not enter, but most borders cannot be defended due to their size."

"So what happens when you get in? Can't you get out?" Fanning asked.

"No, in fact, according to the known statistics, as long as the entrants don't sleep inside, that is, if they evacuate before the limit of sleepiness, the chances of retreating are quite high... But after they come out, their perception of the inside is very confused, notes It was also repeatedly altered by myself, unable to bring out particularly meaningful information. Also, in these abnormal areas, the existing means of communication and recording will fail."

"What's in it?" Fanning frowned deeply.

Joan said: "No one knows. It is said that the Special Inspection Office has been secretly investigating the situation of abnormal areas. They have a classification of abnormal areas internally. I don't know the specific evaluation criteria. But... I deduced from the descriptions of some ancient books. One, somewhat dire conclusion"

"Terrible conclusion?" Fanning's expression froze. "What?"

Joan's next words made his eyes freeze.

"The abnormal zone is spreading."
