Red Moon Returns

"In this world, there is no strict boundary between disease and plague. Any contagious disease has the possibility of transforming into plague. Most of the plagues I have fought against before are of this kind. It is easier to breed, but it is also easier to deal with. Isolation , disinfection, and medicine, we can basically see hope. In the field of occultism, diseases and plagues are completely different. Due to the exclusivity of the concept, diseases are absolutely not contagious.”

Among the students attending the class, classmate Natalie Angel has quickly entered a semi-sleep state, classmate Judy is still distracted, and classmate Diana is making small movements and continues to play with her beautiful flaming red lips, reading room Here, only Leviv was listening carefully: "The exclusivity of the concept?"

"Yes." Ms. Nightingale raised three fingers. "What is this?"

"three?"

"Why question? You're not sure?"

"Well, it's three!"

"Can't it be four?"

"cannot."

"Why?"

"Huh? Because it's three."

"This is the exclusivity of concepts in the field of occultism." Nightingale explained, "A concept cannot be both three and four. It can only carry one definition, either three or four. Back to diseases, occultism The disease here is caused by the concept of disease or this power, rather than from an abnormality of the organ or from some external toxin. So according to the exclusivity of the concept, since the concept of disease is already present, it does not. There will no longer be the concept of infection, and it will not be able to transform into a plague on its own.”

Lin Qi frowned and thought for a long time before nodding lightly: "In other words, diseases in occult science are entirely conceptually defined. A person's illness is entirely due to being affected by the concept of disease, and there is no need for a cause. , and there is no cause at all.”

This has completely overturned Lynch's medical common sense in his previous life. It took him a long time to understand it before he finally figured it out.

"Yes, so diseases in the field of occultism are very troublesome to treat and cannot be dealt with by traditional medicine. But the good thing about it is that it is conceptually defined, so it can no longer be contagious."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "So, am I worrying too much?"

"No, exclusivity does not mean that there is no plague in the mysterious world. In fact, in 1227 of the Third Age and 896 of the Fourth Age, plagues in the field of occultism occurred in the ancient continent. The symptoms were vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, His body was covered with black spots, and he died tragically. The death toll was in the tens of millions.”

The corner of Lin Qi's mouth trembled, feeling that it was very similar to the Black Death in his previous life.

"Plague was born because the concept is not only exclusive but also superimposable. Simply put, several concepts can be superimposed together to create synergy."

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes and suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart. But he did not speak out in surprise, but listened patiently to Ms. Nightingale's explanation.

"It's just that the requirements for this kind of synergy are extremely demanding. Even if it is deliberately operated, it is difficult to meet the requirements, and it is absolutely impossible to meet the conditions naturally. First of all, not just any concepts can be superimposed. The superimposed concepts must The level is equivalent. To come from divine authority, both must come from divine authority. One cannot come from divine authority and the other is just a common concept.”

"Second, the concepts of superposition must also be coherent in time and cannot be separated by too long. Otherwise, they will be regarded as two isolated concepts and will not form a superposition. Generally speaking, there is a gap between the outbreak of two concepts. It cannot exceed one month, otherwise it will never be possible to form a superposition.”

"Third, the convergence in location. Because the concept of disease comes from divine power, its outbreak will also affect the whole world, but that is the scope of the effect, not the location of the outbreak. Two superimposed concepts, their outbreak locations They must be consistent. If one is in Norin and the other is in Rhine, they are just two isolated concepts, and it is impossible to put them together. Either they are all in Norin or they are all in Rhine.”

"And the fourth and most important point is that the core elements of the concept of an outbreak must be consistent."

"Wait a minute," Lynch asked, "What do you mean by core elements?"

"This is why we held the ceremony a few days ago, where you fought against the remaining will of the Ghoul King, because the core element that caused the outbreak of the concept of disease is you, and it is only useful if you participate. The human face fruit that you cultivate is needed It is also for this reason that it is needed to participate in the drug configuration instead of you as the core element. Only with your participation in the drug configuration can it have therapeutic significance for this disease. The core element does not have to be a person, it can also be an object, but if you want the concept to be superimposed, the core element. Must be consistent.”

Lynch slowly closed his eyes after hearing this. Ms. Nightingale's words not only did not make him feel relieved, but made him more nervous. Many things that he could not figure out before gradually became clear. The old woman was unaware of his psychological changes and continued to explain:

"After determining these four points, let's look at the specific situation. Based on the experience summarized from several occult plagues in history, at least three different concepts, or three different concepts, are needed to create a plague in the field of occultism. Power. The first is the disease itself, which is the foundation and must not be missing. The second is that if the disease wants to turn the patient from one to ten, it must be replicable and be able to replicate itself. The third is the transmissibility. It must be able to spread, that is, infect other people. None of these three concepts can be burned, and they must be detonated by you in the same area, and the time difference between them cannot exceed one month, so that there is the possibility of forming a plague. "

"Your worries are not unreasonable, child, because within a month after you detonated the disease power of the Ghoul King, you led the destruction of that mirror. The door of illusion and reality, an advent-level rare object, is hidden There is a trace of copied divine power, which can be superimposed. You have encountered both things. This kind of coincidence should not appear in occultism, so I believe in your judgment. Someone really wants to use your hands to create occultism. Plague. But you don’t have to worry. It’s just a superposition of disease and replication, and there is still a lack of transmission. As long as it persists for another month, the superposition effect will disappear naturally, and their conspiracy will fail..."

Ms. Nightingale stopped explaining because she found that not only Lynch, but also the police officer’s face turned livid, with surprise in her eyes.

Lynch leaned back on the chair and looked at the ceiling tiredly, feeling dazed for a moment.

Everything that happened after he woke up was now connected in his mind.

"Ms. Nightingale. Shortly before I destroyed the resurrection of the Ghoul King, underground at the Thorn Flower Club, I guided two evil gods to collide in my body. Both evil gods were crushed, and their divine power Theoretically, it was also leaked and had an impact.”

Lin Qi smiled bitterly. He finally realized that he had been involved in a huge conspiracy since the time travel. The people in the Shadow Alliance probably used him because they knew that he was the target chosen by his neighbors and that his true power was far more powerful than he actually was. Step by step against the evil god, it was almost impossible to detonate three kinds of divine powers in a short period of time:

"One of the evil gods is the Ancient Flicker, and its divine power happens to be spreading and spreading."

"It seems I'm not overly worried. The plague is coming."
