Plague Doctor

Wang Ruoxiang's "purification reaction" was the most severe among all 530 spell practitioners.

Just by pressing the old seal stone with her hand, she felt a huge pain that was like ten-level pain. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she hadn't even sensed it yet.

This shocked Peacock and Mo Qing, and it only lasted for five seconds before Gu Jun pulled away from her immediately.

No matter how strong your will is, there is a limit to what your body can bear.

On the bright side, Wang Ruoxiang did not suffer from life-threatening conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage or cardiac arrest, nor did she shout delirium such as King in Yellow or Carcosa. This shows that she is sane and the surveillance video will not look so crazy to the judges.

"Gu Jun..." Wang Ruoxiang couldn't breathe smoothly, and her voice was still very stubborn: "If you have any idea, just do it, I'm not afraid of pain..."

"I know, there's no rush." ​​Gu Jun just reassured her, "Squad leader, you are in a special situation, take your time."

The entire first round of purification really proved Wang Ruoxiang's specialness. Gao Yu and Zhang Zuodong, two mature men who were also at the fifth secret level, not only did not have such a severe purification reaction, but their mental states also steadily improved afterward. Wang Ruoxiang may need more purification times and a longer mental recovery period than others.

Three days after the first round of purification, the second round of purification takes place.

This time, Tong Ye, Cai Zixuan, Wu Shiyu and other personnel who had not yet entered the third secretariat had no reaction when they pressed the old seal stone with their hands.

The peacocks pressed the old seal stone at the same time to communicate. This was also a detection method. If the old seal stone did not light up with white light, their spirits were indeed "clean".

After the second round, practitioners of the Third Secret like Xue Ba were also clean.

…

He still hasn't been to the club these days. Gu Jun is busy in the spell department with more than just purification treatments.

He had communicated with Dr. Jiang and others about Dreamland and the Raleye Order.

He also participated in the autopsies of the two corpses of Mr. Zheng Jialiang and Mr. Wilde. After a while, he stepped into the autopsy room again, smelled the pungent smell of formalin, and took a scalpel to cut and separate various tissues of the corpse... He really felt a sense of belonging.

However, after an autopsy, it was confirmed that Mr. Wilde was still a human being. Some of the mutations and deformities were within the limits of current medical understanding. The 115cm height was caused by stunted development, and the scars on the strange face were caused by repeated scratching injuries. They are not alien, nor have they transformed into aliens.

Zheng Jialiang's corpse was even more ordinary, without even ordinary mutations.

But this also highlights their mental madness.

…

Three days later, the third round of purification ended. Gao Yu and Zhang Zuodong were basically clean, but Wang Ruoxiang had not made much progress.

Gu Jun had a new diagnosis. He had to know that his mental erosion level reached 49 at its highest, his body was abnormally paralyzed, and his consciousness was almost annihilated.

Later, the first purification of the old seal stone was done at 24:00, and it faded by 3%.

He personally participated in these three rounds of purification, three times, and each time he was able to drop 2. Now the total has dropped to less than 1, and he feels refreshed.

If calculated based on his curative effect, it means that Gao Yu and Zhang Zuodong lost their will and the erosion level was around 10 when they rebelled. However, Wang Ruoxiang may be in a similar situation to him. Her erosion level may have reached 20 or 30 before she lost her will. Therefore Only now are there symptoms of poor efficacy.

Because these three purifications may have only dropped her by 3, but she still has 17-27.

He knew that the higher the erosion level, the harder it would be to come down. If he hadn't encountered the nightmare spectacle and had the bubble of sweet dreams to support him, how could he have recovered so quickly.

If he had also used the treatment method of old seal stone purification at the beginning, the curative effect might be even worse than Wang Ruoxiang's.

[The lower the mental corrosiveness, the earlier the old seal stone is used, the better the effect will be. 】

[Everyone’s critical point of mental erosion of “madness” and “rebellion” is different. 】

Gu Jun wrote both of these judgments into the diagnosis and treatment report, and wrote more about the second point:

This is probably closely related to each person's mental power, gnosis, will and other various conditions.

It may also be related to the source of erosion. The erosion rate of Wang Ruoxiang and others stems from the "King in Yellow", the power of the Yellow Brotherhood's belief; while his mainly stems from the Nightmare House, which is an unknown entity believed in by the Ghoul Sect. Power, and related to the "Cthulhu" of the R'lyeh Order's letter.

Whether different sources of erosion have different critical points is still a question.

For example, will he go crazy after being eroded by 10% of the power of the King in Yellow? 50 of Cthulhu's power makes you crazy?

Based on the diagnosis and treatment situation and Gu Junzuo's report, the Curses Department undoubtedly has more work to do.

The biggest focus of the Curse Department now is to establish a stable and effective "new S value test system" so that it can continue to operate.

"Ajun, the situation is very serious." Tongye had told Gu Jun a long time ago, "If we can't find a way to monitor and control, the Curses Department will be suspended. What the Tianji Bureau needs is controllable power, not Turn your own people into a bunch of lunatics, villains and traitors.”

Obviously, the new s value consists of three parts:

The first part is a rating that combines various traits and attributes of the individual.

The second part is the range of madness that this rating corresponds to when faced with different anomalous forces.

The third part is the numerical situation and source situation of the individual's mental erosion, a real-time state that can be evaluated and monitored.

For example, Wang Ruoxiang is A-level, Gao Yu is B-level, and they are also affected by the King in Yellow

For power erosion, her critical point is 30, and Gao Yu's critical point is 10.

So even if Wang Ruoxiang's current erosion degree is 10, her new S value will not be too high; but when Gao Yu reaches 7 erosion degree, her new S value will be almost crazy high.

"Only in this way can we form a test system." Dr. Shen has lost half of his hair in the past week, and his elegant middle-aged face is haggard.

How to monitor these three values: qualification rating, critical point of madness, and instant erosion? How to define it?

Dr. Shen and his subordinates are at a loss. This may be possible with super technology like the old seal stone, but it is beyond their capabilities.

But looking for science in spells, and finding a foothold in the extraordinary realm unknown to mankind, this is something that is done knowing that it is impossible to do.

Gu Jun had already asked Peacock and others, but they said that the Earth Wanderers did not have such a problem.

Because they do not practice other spells and only select those with the highest spiritual qualifications to be the Heavenly Warriors, this way the qualification ratings and the critical point of madness will be consistent. The real-time erosion degree is based on experience, and usually one has to sacrifice oneself to death, or use an old seal stone when the degree is still mild. It is clear whether it is clean or not.

This is a method, but Gu Jun understands that it is not suitable for Tianji Bureau and this world.

If we only select people with A-level qualifications, there won't even be enough manpower for one city. There are millions of people in any city here.

Besides, the Land Wanderers have never been able to develop. Isn’t it because this method is too rigid?

Technology, super technology... Gu Jun thinks the answer lies in the "Nakter Codex".

Love the Plague Doctor.
