Chapter 565 Everyone, I need your help. (Super large chapter asks for a monthly ticket)

That distorted and crazy state instantly covered He Ao's entire sea of ​​consciousness.

He Ao calmed down his consciousness, emptied his brain, and then contacted these crazy consciousnesses from Jess' body.

The F-level to D-level secret medicines that Jess obtained all came from the mysterious person. The mysterious man added some unknown ingredients to these secret medicines, and did not tell Jess that he needs to fully grasp the power of the talent sequence before he can use it. Go to the next level with these hidden knowledge.

Judging from Jess' memory, the mysterious man even deliberately promoted Jess to be promoted without fully grasping the power.

This caused every promotion of Jess to bury hidden dangers. The further he went, the greater his tendency to be crazy, and those extra ingredients from the mysterious person's secret medicine seemed to be some kind of substance that could enhance inspiration.

Judging from He Ao's knowledge of mysticism, the more he tends to be crazy, the higher his perception of the mysterious world and the higher his inspiration.

Of course, the degree and direction of inspiration are not necessarily the same for everyone, but Jess's situation is obviously special.

Every time Jess is dominated by madness, coupled with the effect of the inspiration-enhancing substance in the secret medicine, his inspiration will reach a terrifying level.

Many problems that cannot be figured out when you are rational will be solved as if with the help of a god.

Although Jess thought back many times afterwards, he felt that his behavior in a state of madness was unreasonable and beyond common sense.

But Jess, who is in a state of madness, only feels the joy of spying on the truth of the world.

I feel that everything in the world is like this, just like God has cut open the essence of the world and displayed it in front of him.

In that state, the whole person will be in a state of trance and excitement, prying is unknowable, prying is unthinkable, all secrets seem to be invisible, and all difficulties will be easily solved.

The gods whispered in the ears, and time and space stretched before the eyes.

The world is as it is, as it should be.

Now, it was He Ao's turn to experience this feeling.

However, unlike the storm and sea waves that Jess formed in his memory, He Ao stood in the center of this crazy storm vortex, like a thousand-year-old reef, motionless.

Jess actually has very little memory about the crazy period. He can only remember what he did roughly, and he can only recall the feeling, but he can't remember exactly what happened.

The memory of the crazy period, like a dream, will gradually fade away like a drop of water that is gradually drying up during the waking period.

But He Ao is different, he has always maintained a certain degree of sobriety.

He raised his head and looked around.

At this moment, all kinds of chaotic ravings, like the background noise, were already appearing in his ears. These ravings were very similar to the ravings of the background noise he heard when the super memory was activated, but they were even more chaotic than the ravings. More polluted spirit.

There were also some changes in the scene in the field of vision, and some inexplicable, distorted lines echoed throughout the space.

There is great temptation rippling in these lines, as if they are the essential truths in this world. While watching these lines, He Ao felt some kind of restlessness in his body, and his flesh and blood began to slip out of his control. creep.

His body is trying to stretch to fit this unknowable nature.

He Ao subconsciously felt that this was all right, and it should be taken for granted.

But he still looked away from these distorted lines and looked at the surrounding lines.

His mutated body gradually returned to normal.

Although cognition has been affected to a certain extent, He Ao's rationality is still there. He is very clear that this kind of mutation that "fits the essence of the world" is completely crazy and alienated into a monster.

His state at the moment is like having a lucid dream, his logic is the logic in the dream, but he is very clear that he is dreaming.

In fact, in theory, with this degree of confusion, Jess should have mutated into a crazy monster long ago. After all, Jess doesn't have such strong pollution resistance as He Ao.

In fact, this is indeed the case, but Jess has something else, which has become the anchor point for him to maintain his humanity and final sanity, and that is the hatred for the mysterious person and the obsession with the death of his family.

I just don't know whether this anchor point was left on purpose by the mysterious person, or it was created unintentionally.

Behind these two situations, it represents the amount of mystic knowledge that the mysterious person has.

After all, strong emotions or obsessions can be used as an anchor point to locate one's own reason and humanity in madness. It is the conclusion that He Ao came to after he accepted Jess's memory.

There is no relevant information in the mystic knowledge he has learned in the past.

Before that, he had always believed that ordinary people would be irresistibly driven into madness after falling into cognitive errors or being polluted.

Jace's situation proved that even people who have stepped into madness may have a way to maintain their humanity and self-knowledge.

This may be knowledge that can only be understood at a deeper level.

But at this moment, He Ao didn't have time to continue to think deeply about this question. The purple patterns all over the walls, floors, and ceilings were caught in his eyes, and quickly combined in his mind.

His consciousness is like some kind of broken circuit reconnected, and all knowledge is unimpeded.

Just looking at these lines, he still needs to carefully analyze the functions of each part of the lines, and disassemble them as a huge magic circle.

At this moment, when he looked at these lines, it was like looking at Mengtong's math problem. The answer would naturally appear in his mind without any analysis.

At the same time, He Ao also felt that in this state, his soul power was rapidly depleting.

This kind of "inspiration" to pry into the essence in a crazy state is not without loss, he will greatly overdraw his soul.

And the weaker the soul, the higher the possibility of being devoured by madness.

To be precise, the causal relationship here should be that the erosion of madness caused Jess to see things that could not be spied on originally, and seeing these things would accelerate the consumption of Jess' soul and further accelerate the progress of Jess's madness.

This powerful 'inspiration' is just a by-product of crazy erosion.

This kind of inspiration is uncontrollable for Jess, he can only try his best to maintain his final sanity through hatred and obsession, but he can't control the progress of his madness, and he doesn't know when he will wake up after falling into madness Come.

But He Ao still has a little resistance to madness, this level of madness is not enough to erode his rationality.

So he can freely choose to let go of the state of madness, or suppress the state of madness, and turn the 'inspiration' brought by this madness into an active skill.

Of course, standing on the dividing line between madness and rationality, there will naturally not be as much inspiration as Jess's complete madness, but for He Ao at this moment, it is enough.

Before that, He Ao actually had other dungeon characters who fell into madness.

For example, the character Yezola in his novice dungeon is a priest of the evil god who has completely fallen into madness. When he asked his good friend for help several times before, he also accepted the pollution impact of his good friend, but those few dungeon characters did not get close to him. When insane, display this terrifying high inspiration.

Even with the added influence of the mysterious person, the inspiration shown by Jess is a bit too high.

Jess probably has something else special about him.

Howe raised the axe, and placed it on the lines that shone with purple light in front of the door.

At this moment, without any analysis and understanding, he can understand the function of the structure of these magic circles and know the purpose of each line.

The magic circle on the door is not integrated with the magic circle on the wall and the floor. The soul absorbed by the magic circle on the door is only used to maintain the integrity of this door.

This should be a structure designed to prevent the magic circle from being destroyed by opening and closing the door.

Although the magic circle on the door has fine lines connected to the overall magic circle, there are actually only a few lines that play a key role in communication.

He Ao watched the running lines of these magic circles, raised the bone ax in his hand, cut into the edge of the stone door, and cut on a purple pattern linking the door and the wall on the left.

The originally powerful and indestructible purple lines, which were unscathed by Alan Te's several violent blows, were easily cut off by him.

Immediately afterwards, he raised the ax again, and carefully cut off several other lines linking the door and the wall.

As the last line was cut off, the entire huge stone gate trembled, and the light on it dimmed a lot.

Then He Ao raised the axe, and struck the center of the stone gate with one axe, cutting off the two adjacent lines.

boom--

Accompanied by a violent tremor, the magic circle on the stone gate suddenly shattered after a dazzling flash.

The stone gate, which was hit by Allen just now and was full of cracks but still without any deformation, also shattered, and scattered rubble fell like a torrential rain.

A huge cloud of smoke and dust rose up, and He Ao's figure passed through the gravel and stepped into the door.

Then he stopped.

Behind the hazy smoke and dust, a bright pattern like densely packed cobwebs spread all over the entire space.

These lines are like the stars in the night sky, constantly shining purple light, even without any lamps, this space is as bright as day.

He Ao looked up at the surroundings. In the connected space of the upper and lower floors, there were no pillars except the surrounding walls. It was as empty as a dragon's cave.

Then He Ao stared at these flickering brilliance, he realized something, and briefly turned on Super Memory to look around.

Dense shadows spread from the ceiling above this space, blending into this huge space, blending into those flashing purple lines.

This entire space is a huge magic circle, a magic circle that is continuously running.

And those shadows should come from the mental patients upstairs. The upper part of this space is the sixth floor where the mental patients who seem to have lost their self-awareness are imprisoned, and on the ninth to thirteenth floors above, there are more 'psychiatric patient'.

The nurse said that the mental patients on the sixth floor are dangerous.

But judging from the state of those mental patients, and the secret thoughts that have been eroding He Ao since entering this building.

The patients on the sixth floor may not be dangerous patients, but patients who have been completely transformed and become suitable 'food'.

As for whose 'food'.

He Ao's eyes fell on those flickering magic circles.

The answer is self-evident.

The hidden existence in the deep sleep seems to be trying to assimilate the consciousness of everyone in this mental hospital.

As Allent said, this psychiatric hospital is a huge breeding farm, and the people living in it are 'livestock'.

Livestock that are not fully mature live on the higher floors, while fully mature livestock are moved below and locked up on the sixth floor to become 'food'.

At this moment, He Ao has been able to see clearly the operating structure of these magic circles to the greatest extent.

Whether it's the genetic medicine or the magic circle created by Jess' father, they all have one role.

That is to simulate, and try to replace the power-gaining ritual in that mystic knowledge.

And all rituals are exchanged at equal value.

If you want to gain power, you need to exchange that.

Judging from He Ao's observations, those who took the genetic medicine gave up their lives and souls without exception after death, and there is a high probability that the price they have to pay is more than that.

After all, the life and soul of an ordinary person cannot be exchanged for C-level power.

But no matter what, it was a genetic drug, and it needed a living person to use it.

The genetic potion is a simplified ritual, and the user is equivalent to the performer of the ritual. As a living being, he can naturally pay the price, even if the price is himself.

And the magic circle in front of He Ao is a dead thing, this magic circle cannot be born out of thin air with a price, without a price, naturally there will be no gift.

So someone needs to come as a 'price'.

And these 'patients' living in mental hospitals are the 'price' for being prepared to sacrifice.

He Ao stepped forward little by little, watching these flickering magic circles.

According to his observation, this magic circle seems not to be fully completed and has obvious flaws.

Because in the original mystic knowledge, the performer of the ceremony must be highly involved in the ceremony, so as to obtain the power of the gift.

Whether it is the magic circle or the genetic potion, it is a simplified ceremony that requires someone to operate, and that person is the performer of the ceremony and the final beneficiary.

For genetic medicine, it is the person who takes the genetic medicine.

But for this magic circle, it is a bit strange.

It is set to run naturally, and the mentally ill are paid in exchange for the gift, they are highly involved in the operation of the circle, but they are not the real beneficiaries.

He Ao's speed was very fast, he passed through the entire space in a very short time, and reached the innermost side of the space.

Here, there is a stone platform covered with purple patterns. On the stone platform is a long wooden box about one meter long. The wooden box is also engraved with dense purple patterns.

Although Jess's memory doesn't have the patterns that seem to have been created by Jess' father, he does have memories of the wooden box.

That was one time, when Jess went to his father's laboratory to get some materials, he saw this wooden box placed on his father's desk.

The wooden box exuded a vague allure at the time, attracting Jace to touch it, and Jace didn't know what it was then.

After learning some mystic knowledge, he realized that this wooden box might be made of some kind of extraordinary tree.

At that time, he didn't touch the wooden box, and his father who came back in time stopped him.

At that time, he also asked his father what it was, and his answer at that time was just 'a box that a friend left here'.

After that, Jace never saw the wooden box again.

He once investigated this as an important clue to investigate his father's accidental death, but in the end he didn't get any clues.

He Ao did not expect to see this wooden box here again.

The magic circle engraved on the wooden box has a very simple function, representing the performer of the ceremony and the beneficiaries of the ceremony.

In other words, this space, this mental hospital, all serve this wooden box.

It never occurred to Jace that the beneficiary of the ritual could be a dead thing before, because he didn't address the fact that the beneficiary of the ritual must be the performer, the main participant, of the ritual.

How can a dead thing dominate the ritual?

And Jace's father's magic circle seemed to solve this problem, but only half of it.

Judging from the wooden box and the surrounding textures, Jess' father constructed a magic circle structure using dead objects to simulate the ritual performer.

But Jace's father didn't solve another problem - the person performing the ceremony must be the main participant in the ceremony.

In fact, this is also the position of the price payer, which must be a living life.

And this is the flaw of this huge magic circle. On the edge of this magic circle, there are some 'patches' whose structure is obviously weaker than the original magic circle.

This 'patch' transfers the price that was originally required to be paid by the ceremonial host to the 'patients' in the mental hospital, and allows the wooden box in the position of the ceremonial host to obtain a 'gift'.

But this patch does not solve all the problems.

He Ao stretched out his hand to touch the wooden box, and the allure that attracted Jess at the beginning had completely disappeared, leaving behind only dense and constantly flickering lines.

This wooden box is indeed just a box, and inside the box is the 'gift' accumulated by this huge magic circle over the past ten years.

But this gift cannot be withdrawn.

Because the magic circle is not complete.

Sacrifice others to gain power without paying a price, this patched magic circle can't do that.

The things contained in this box should be related to that hidden existence.

The training system of this mental hospital called 'farm' should also be a part of this magic circle patch. The erosion of that hidden existence is actually trying to make the price converge to the 'beneficiary' contained in this box.

The mysterious man tried to disguise the price as the beneficiary, so as to meet the conditions for the ceremony.

This approach worked, but only half the battle.

He Ao spread some of his consciousness into the wooden box through his fingertips, and he sensed violent and powerful energy like surging volcanic magma in the wooden box.

As long as Ho Ao tries to open this wooden box, that powerful force will directly spew out, destroying everything nearby.

This proves that the magic circle is effective, and the things in the wooden box have indeed obtained powerful power.

But this power is uncontrollable.

Theoretically speaking, these powers would explode the moment they entered the wooden box and could not be retained, but the maker of this magic circle used an ingenious method to maintain the stability of the energy.

The magic circle on the surface of the wooden box flickered, which was not only a magic circle that made the wooden box the 'holder' of the ceremony, but also a complete ritual circle.

This kind of design cleverly made the power in the wooden box think that the ceremony was not over yet, and maintained the state of the ceremony running.

This magic circle maintains the stability of the energy in the wooden box, and controls the power in the wooden box so that it will not explode directly, but it cannot use this power either.

Unless someone can make up for the flaws of this magic circle, make the ceremony complete, and naturally introduce these powers into the wooden box.

He Ao stared at the wooden box. In theory, he should take the wooden box away.

Taking away this wooden box means that the huge magic circle will lose its holder, and the magic circle will collapse immediately.

Removing the casket will end the brutal rituals performed here.

He Ao turned on the super memory and looked back at the broken pieces of the door, looked at the part of the magic circle carved on the floor, and the shadow emerging from the floor, and he woke himself up from the madness.

After thinking for a while, he rushed out of the hall and jumped into the elevator shaft.

At the moment the elevator is on the first floor.

He Ao hung in front of the elevator doors on the first floor, pried open the elevators, and rushed out.

He saw the mental patients and nurses in the lobby on the first floor again.

"Everyone, I need your help."

He watched them.

For a moment, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

An eerie silence spread.

boom--

A mentally ill person twisted at a wider angle, so his head fell off and rolled to the ground.

The nurse next to him picked up the head blankly and put it back on the patient's neck. Everyone was staring at He Ao.

Their eyes are numb, just like those who were locked up on the sixth floor, fully assimilated, but not yet dead.
