Wang Ruoxiang's' cleansing reaction 'was the most intense among all 530 members.
She only used her hand to press on the Ancient Seal stone and she was hit by a level 10 pain. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She had not even started to sense it yet.
This gave Peacock and Malachite quite a fright. It only lasted for 5 seconds before Gu Jun pulled her away.
No matter how strong one's willpower was, one's body had its limits.
On the bright side, Wang Ruoxiang did not show any signs of brain haemorrhage or cardiac arrest. She did not scream about the King in Yellow or Carcosa either. This proved that her mind was clear and the video did not appear so crazy to the judges.
"Gu Jun …" Wang Ruoxiang's breathing was uneven but she said stubbornly, "Do whatever you can, I'm not afraid of pain …"
"I know, there's no rush." Gu Jun comforted her, "Monitor, this is a special case for you, take it slow."
The first round of cleansing proved Wang Ruoxiang's uniqueness. Gao Yi and Zhang Zuodong, who were also at the fifth chapter, not only did not have such a strong cleansing reaction, their mental state also improved after the cleansing. Wang Ruoxiang, on the other hand, probably needed more cleansing and a longer period of mental recovery than others.
3 days after the first round of cleansing, the second round began.
This time, Tong Ye, Cai Zixuan, Wu Shiyu and the rest who had not reached the third chapter had their hands pressed on the Ancient Seal stone.
Peacock and Wu Shiyu communicated with the stone, this was a form of inspection. The stone did not glow, so their mental state was indeed 'clean'.
After the second round, Xue Ba and the other cultivators of the third secret were all cleared.
…
For the past few days, Gu Jun did not go to the clubhouse. He was not only busy with cleansing treatment at the Spell Department.
He communicated with Prof Jiang about the R'yleh Cult and the Dreamlands.
He also participated in the autopsy of Zheng Jialiang and Mr. Wang Erde. Stepping into the autopsy room again after so many days, smelling the pungent smell of formalin, holding a scalpel to dissect the various tissues of the cadavers … He felt a sense of belonging.
However, after the autopsy, Mr. Wilde was confirmed to be a human. Some of the mutations and deformities were within the range of current medical understanding. His height of 115cm was due to dysplasia, and the scars on his strange face were caused by repeated scratching. He was not a mutant, nor had he transformed into one.
Zheng Jialiang's corpse was even more ordinary. There was not even a normal mutation.
But this also highlighted their mental madness.
…
Another three days later, the third round of purification was over. Gao Yi and Zhang Zuodong were basically clean, but Wang Ruoxiang had not made much progress.
Gu Jun had a new diagnosis. It was important to know that his own mental corruption had reached 49% at its peak. His body was abnormally paralyzed, and his consciousness was almost annihilated.
Later, when the stone was purified at 24%, it was reduced by 3%.
Gu Jun had personally participated in all 3 rounds of purification. Each time, it was reduced by 2%. Now it was less than 1%. Gu Jun felt refreshed.
Based on Gu Jun's diagnosis, this meant that when Gao Yi and Zhang Zuodong lost their minds, the corruption was around 10%. However, Wang Ruoxiang's condition was similar to his. She only lost her mind after her corruption reached 20% or 30%. That was why she was showing signs of improvement.
Because the three rounds of purification only reduced her corruption by 3%, there was still 17% to 27% left.
He knew that the higher the corruption, the harder it was to reduce it. If not for the Nightmare Wonder and the sweet dream bubbles, he would not have recovered so quickly.
If he had used the same method as Wang Ruoxiang, the effect would have been even worse than Wang Ruoxiang's.
"When the corruption rate is low, the earlier the Ancient Seal Stone is used, the better the effect will be.
"Everyone's mental corruption threshold for 'madness' and 'rebellion' is different."
Gu Jun wrote these two points in the report. He wrote more about the second point.
This was probably related to a person's mental power, spiritual knowledge, willpower and so on.
It might also be related to the source of corruption. Wang Ruoxiang's corruption rate came from the King in Yellow, the power of the Yellow Brotherhood; Gu Jun's corruption rate came from the Nightmare House, the unknown power of the zombie cult and the R 'yleh Cult's Cthulhu.
Whether there were different critical points for different corruption sources was a question mark.
For example, would he go mad after he was corrupted by 10% of the King in Yellow's power? 50% of Cthulhu's power?
Based on the diagnosis and Gu Jun's report, the Spell Department had more work to do.
For now, the Spell Department's main focus was to build a stable and effective 'new S Value Assessment System' to ensure its continued operation.
"Ah Jun, the situation is serious." Tong Ye had told Gu Jun earlier, "If we cannot find a way to monitor and control it, the Spell Department will be suspended. Phecda needs a controllable power, not a bunch of madmen, traitors and villains. "
Obviously, the new S Value was made up of three parts.
The first part was a comprehensive rating based on a person's various attributes.
The second part was the range of the individual's madness threshold when faced with different abnormal powers.
The third part was the number and source of the corruption rate, a real-time status that could be monitored.
For example, Wang Ruoxiang was Grade A and Gao Yi was Grade B. They were both corrupted by the King in Yellow's power, her threshold was at 30% while Gao Yi's was at 10%.
Therefore, even if Wang Ruoxiang's corruption rate was at 10%, her new S Value would not be that high; Gao Yi's corruption rate was at 7%, his new S Value would be crazily high.
"Only then will we be able to form a proper assessment system." Half of Doctor Shen's hair had turned white over the past week. His gentlemanly face was haggard.
Aptitude Rating, Crazy Critical Point, Real-Time Erosion Rate, how should these three values be monitored? And how was he going to define them?
Doctor Shen and his subordinates were at their wits' end. This might be achievable with super technology like the Ancient Seal Stone but it was beyond their capabilities.
However, to search for science in spells, to find a foothold in a supernatural realm unknown to mankind, this was something that they had to do even though they knew it was impossible.
Gu Jun had asked Peacock and the rest but they said the land's travellers did not have this problem.
This was because they did not practice other spells, they only selected those with the highest mental power to be the Phecda Warriors. This way, the rating and the madness threshold would be the same. The real-time corruption rate was based on experience. Normally, the Phecda warriors would have to sacrifice themselves or use the Ancient Seal Stone when the corruption rate was still low.
This was a good solution but Gu Jun knew it was not suitable for Phecda and this world.
If they only selected those with Grade A talent, there would not even be enough manpower for a city. Any city here already had millions of citizens.
Furthermore, wasn't the reason the land's travellers could not develop so well because this method was too rigid?
Technology, super technology … Gu Jun believed the answer lay in the Pnakotic Manuscripts.
