'There's a change in their thinking? ' Gu Jun felt unsettled, "What's going on?"
"It's mainly a change in their preferences." Wu Shiyu studied the cloud of cotton candy on the stage. "For example, they used to like cotton candy but now they like sticky candy. We from the Recreation Department know this very well. Oh, there's another similarity, they like the color yellow. "
"Yellow? The color of the soil? "He asked. There had to be a reason why the spell book was called the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan.
"That's what Phecda came up with as well. Yellow soil, I sensed they had an additional smell of mud. But their personality did not change much, they were still the same. "
"Is there any thought disorder?" Gu Jun asked, "Thought deprivation and thought insertion?"
He explained to her that these were all in the realm of psychiatry. Thought deprivation was the feeling that one's thoughts were suddenly taken away by some external force, and thought insertion was the feeling that some thoughts that did not belong to one's mind were forced into one's head.
Both were not controlled by one's will and were common in schizophrenia. Did their personality change fall under this category?
He had asked Kathlyn and Tom before. After the birthday party, other than hallucinations, they also occasionally suffered from this kind of thought disorder.
As for himself, he had the experience of having his thoughts implanted when he was in the passage between the two worlds.
He had no idea whether that was relevant or not.
"The psychiatrist from the Medical Department also diagnosed it as schizophrenia." Wu Siyu thought for a moment before answering, "But they don't have any other symptoms. Their bodies are very healthy, so the bureau has labeled this as' Seven Cryptical Book of Hsan Syndrome '. For now, we don't know if there are any dangers. Oh, right. "
She also said that another symptom was that they said they dreamt more and their dreams became more vivid. The Spell Department and Angell's Order had done research on this but they could not find any similarity. Therefore, the diagnosis was that their subconscious had become more active.
"Hmm …" Gu Jun thought about it. Other than the mind, there should be some changes in the body as well. He had studied the first chapter so he knew about this but the changes in the structure of the neural network were harder to detect.
"Dirty-minded Yu, where are you at now?" He asked.
"The second chapter. Hmm." Wu Shiyu shrugged. "I'm more than halfway done. I'm still far from the third chapter."
"For now, you might be blessed with laziness," Gu Jun said darkly, "Even spells have side effects, and Phecda has yet to deal with this book …"
"It's really not that I'm lazy, it's just that I didn't really like that scripture before. I feel like it killed you."
"No, if we didn't have it, we wouldn't have won."
Gu Jun felt like the spell book was a double-edged sword. It could defeat the enemy, but it could also hurt him. At that time, he had tried so hard to get her to bring the Seven Cryptical Book of Hsan back, so he didn't think that everything would be fine as soon as he got his hands on it. He definitely wanted Phecda to study it and figure out how to use it.
Wu Shiyu said that for the past half a year, the bureau had been studying it, from its paper, its deformed Chinese characters, its meaning, and so on.
If taken as a photograph, the text on the book would be blurry and meaningless black blocks, but that was how it was physically. But when a person looked at it with their eyes, they would develop a kind of 'compulsive thinking' and associate it with the content. Compulsive thinking was a kind of mental association disorder, it was more common in patients with schizophrenia. It referred to the feeling that the brain was forced by an external force and did not belong to one's self. This was part of the learning syndrome.
"Those associations are not just the words." She said, "There are also feelings. You've read it, you know that. But when you write the same content on a normal piece of paper, you won't have that feeling. Therefore, Phecda deduced that part of the content is mental and cannot be expressed in words. You have to read it to understand it. "
For that reason, the book was still unique, it could not be duplicated, not even duplicating the black blocks on the pages.
Every member of the Spell Department had to read it at least once before they started to study a new chapter or else they would not be able to find the door.
In reality, the Spell Department still had this kind of comparison experiment. One group read the original book while the other read the copy. The latter group did not make any progress.
Currently, the Spell Department only knew up to the fifth chapter because the most powerful members were still at the fifth chapter. If they did not finish, they would not be able to associate the content. Just like how she could not understand the third chapter. Other experiments, Wu Shiyu did not know. Her rank and position did not allow her to participate.
Gu Jun knew that with her talent, if she was willing to work hard, she would definitely be at the top of the group.
Wu Shiyu counted the people she knew. Cai Zixuan might not be talented enough in this area, he was still at the second chapter; Tong Ye was old, he was also at the second chapter.
Xue Ba was at the third chapter, Lou Xiaoning was at the fourth chapter; but Wang Ruoxiang was stronger. She was talented and hardworking. She was at the fifth chapter and according to rumors, she was almost done.
But talent alone was not enough. Every member had to go through a series of procedures such as application, review and approval to unlock a chapter. The first chapter to the second chapter was very strict. Currently, there were not many who had the authority to study the fourth and fifth chapters, there were only about 10 of them.
"There are only 3 who have reached the fifth chapter. Ruoxiang is the first. Everyone says it's possible for doctors to learn spells. "Wu Shiyu said.
Gu Jun's heart sank. The class monitor was a straight-A student. She was always so competitive, but the current situation …
"Has there been any change to the monitor?"
"Yes. My synaesthesia with her has faded. The smell of formalin has faded and the smell of mud is heavy. "
Gu Jun asked about the other two members of the fifth chapter. They were not newbies or from a school, so they were not suspicious. But since no one was suspicious, it meant everyone was suspicious. The anxiety in his heart intensified. The fifth chapter again … the only one in the Spell Department, did the rebellion have anything to do with it …
He then asked about the use of the chapters and whether the Spell Department had tried them before.
"This question has been bothering Tong Ye and the rest." She sighed.
Gu Jun had reported about the concepts of 'sacrifice' and 'mental corruption' before. The experiments conducted by the Spell Department also confirmed this. After using the first chapter, the 10 members of the Spell Department experienced different degrees of decrease in their S value. In more serious cases, they suffered from migraines and seizures.
The first chapter was about summoning.
"So, the summoned thing is the giant bat that Chen Defa summoned when we were in the cave. Phecda has named it 'Nightingale'. They speculate that it is some kind of low-level mental entity that can be controlled. Those nightingales are highly aggressive and should be quite destructive. Many experimental animals have been scared to death. "
Wu Shiyu said. The second and third chapters had nothing to do with summoning. They were related to communicating with the earth to strengthen one's mental state. According to the fourth chapter, it was about deeper communication while the fifth chapter was about summoning. However, no one had tried it yet, so no one knew when the experiment would start.
Tong Ye and the rest were worried that the person would go crazy after using it once.
"That's possible …" Gu Jun thought about it. There was a price to pay for using spells. When he used the first chapter, his mental corruption rose to 10%.
But he had not learned the second, third and fourth chapters, perhaps it would not be so difficult? He would have to ask Peacock and the rest later.
But there was one possibility. The land's travellers were no match for the Ossarians and the normal people in this world could wield powerful firearms. Therefore, Gu Jun believed that regardless of whether there was an external organization involved, the rebellion would know that they could not use brute force.
But he had no idea what kind of goal they had …
His mind was in turmoil. Dirty-minded Yu's information was lacking and the call had been going on for quite some time.
"Shi Yu." Gu Jun could not show himself so he could only use his serious tone.
"For now, do not trust anyone. Do not say anything when you return to the headquarters. If they ask, just say you don't know anything and let the suspicious person surface themselves. On that basis, try to understand the situation. Who has received the signal, who has mastered the third chapter and above, the fourth and fifth chapters … Compile a list of these people. If Elder Tong insists on doing the fifth chapter experiment and entering your dreams, and you object, say it's just a feeling … I will try to summon you into my dreams without the use of a phone, but I will contact you at night. "
"Okay." Wu Shiyu nodded. His expression was serious. "I understand. Then the Problematic Team has been officially resurrected? "
"They never died." Gu Jun said, "Then that's all for now."
"Hey, wait." Wu Shiyu stopped him. His eyes looked around the theatre and he smiled. "Dirty-minded Jun, I'm really glad you're still alive."
Gu Jun's heart warmed. "Me too."
