"Rocca, Stuart, what are you doing?"
Sherra, who had been forcefully pulled out of the exhibition, complained. "I wanted to admire that work a little more … You're desecrating art!"
She was really angry. Her little face was flushed, and her eyes subconsciously glanced behind her.
It was as if that half-finished sculpture really had a great attraction for her.
'First stage, obsession!'
Fang Xian looked at this scene and suddenly thought of an investigator's case.
That was a real case that had happened in another city. Some ordinary items suddenly had a magical charm.
At first, people were just obsessed with them and were willing to pay a high price for them.
Gradually, the obsession deepened and turned into fanaticism. People were not willing to let them leave their sight for even a moment.
They were even willing to steal and kill for it …
If not for the investigator's quick action and destruction of those items, who knew what kind of mess would have happened.
And according to the investigation report, those items were very ordinary no matter how they were tested. There was even a stone from a cesspit!
'If I admire it for a while longer, I'll quickly reach the second stage — obsession, followed by fanaticism. I'll do whatever it takes to get it …'
Fang Xian shook his head and said to his two friends, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Let's split up first …"
"Rocca, you …"
Stuart looked at his good friend's back. He couldn't tell if he was touched or angry.
Normally, he wouldn't want Rocca to be a third wheel.
But now, Sherra's temper was a little bad. He couldn't handle it alone.
…
'Hmm … It's confirmed that the sculpture is a supernatural item. The effects vary from person to person. Stuart is obviously better …'
Fang Xian quickly walked into a small alley. After confirming that there was no one around and no one was following him, his lips curled into a slightly crazy smile.
'I can do it now, but I can't be too rational or too calm … Some things can only be seen and heard clearly if I lose my rationality to a certain extent …'
Thinking of this, he opened a secret compartment on his belt and took out a bottle of medicine.
Even though he was a probationary investigator, Fang Xian had received most of the resources that an investigator should be equipped with.
Hmm, he hadn't gotten a gun license yet, but he had gotten some psychotropic medicine a long time ago.
Among them, there were medicine to stabilize one's mind and maintain rationality, as well as medicine to quickly stop bleeding and suppress pain.
There were even 'forbidden drugs' that could cause one to lose one's sanity on their own!
These were all equipped to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.
In fact, even Fang Xian was very curious about the effects and ingredients of these small pills.
He guessed that although the investigators rarely used supernatural powers, this drug was obviously not something that could be produced in an ordinary laboratory. There must have been some unscientific ingredients added into it.
Fang Xian was too lazy to care. He only needed to know that the effects of these drugs were outstanding, and the side effects were not too big. That was enough.
At this moment, he poured out a white pill and swallowed it under his tongue.
Dong dong! Dong dong!
When the pill dissolved, he suddenly heard the sound of his own heartbeat rumbling in his ears.
The world around him began to rotate slowly. The white and gray, blue and green colors became even more vibrant and flamboyant. They began to mix and blend …
Even without looking at the Attribute Pane, Fang Xian knew that his Intellect had dropped quite a bit.
At this moment, he immediately began to recall the statue.
In this state, it was as if he was facing the strange statue. Even the fine lines on the worms that had turned into strands of hair could be seen very clearly.
…
"Hehe … Ugh …"
In the alley, Fang Xian kept panting. Suddenly, he pressed against the wall and began to vomit.
After the uncomfortable feeling passed, his mind became calm. This let him know that the effect of the drug had passed.
After all, it was a drug used by the investigators. It must have temporarily lost its rationality and immediately recovered after the incident.
He stood up, tidied up his clothes, and looked at the pen and paper in his hand.
On the paper, there were a few lines of scribbled short poems:
"This is a hymn to the giant worm."
"The worm turns into hair and fuses with you in the dream, making you hear the sigh of the night …"
"The crazy waves, the loud breathing, the body of the worm is torn apart. Because when one worm dies, another thousand worms are resurrected!"
Fang Xian silently recited it. He could feel the dark power contained in the short poem.
"Hmm, it's indeed different from the spells I obtained before … The life force in the darkness … This feeling … is a bit strange …"
He recalled the three spells he had 'created'.
Among them, the Immortal Poem was considered his own poem, but it was mixed with other powers. The effect was unknown, but it had been verified that it could release a special mind to attack the enemy.
And the Bird with Broken Wings needed to absorb pain in order to exert its power, transform the mind, and become sharp and full of attack.
But Fang Xian vaguely felt that the actual use of this spell should be summoning.
As for the last Worm Hymn, the casting conditions and effect were unknown, but he guessed that it should be related to life. Perhaps it was a healing spell?
"In fact, these dark spells are not good stuff. After using them for a long time, they will unconsciously change the mental state of the user and become a fanatic believer of some evil existence …
"I'm fine because my status is still there, and I can still suppress it … No wonder the other investigators don't recommend using spells unless it's necessary …"
He put away the note with the spells, walked to the street, and found a public phone booth.
After putting a coin in it, Fang Xian dialed a number. "I'm Intern Investigator Rocca. I'm looking for Investigator Lov."
At this point, he had already obtained the secrets of the worm. The rest of the supernatural cases naturally had to be reported to the investigators.
As for why he did not deal with it first and create later?
After all, the danger level of these dark things had not been confirmed yet. Lov might not allow Rocca to read them, so it was better to get the benefits first.
"Rocca, I'm Lov. What's up?"
A deep voice came from the other side.
"I think … I seem to have encountered a supernatural case!"
Fang Xian quickly told him about the sculpture exhibition.
"Damn it! Where are you? Wait for me, don't act on your own … "
Lov cursed and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Soon, an old car came and stopped right next to Fang Xian's feet. Lov cursed and got out of the car. "You brat … How can you encounter something like this when you're on vacation?"
"Actually, I really want to know …"
Fang Xian shrugged.
