Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

Before the two souls were fused, either out of hobby or threat from their grandfather, both had some knowledge of calligraphy in alphabetic languages. Long-term active or passive practice makes this new soul more and more sensitive to the differences in various writings.

Kraft mobilized his consciousness and entered the state of meticulous observation and photographic memory. He forced himself to ignore the vague and strange feeling coming from his intuition and devoted himself to analyzing the papers on the floor.

The weight of the stroke and the stability of the stroke will significantly affect the thickness of the stroke, which reflects a person's state when writing. The continuous strokes between letters mean the fluency of writing, which is related to the familiarity and overall grasp of the word. Although it can be added after writing, it is also possible to distinguish the unnatural points where the transition begins and ends.

And if the words are written in similar conditions, the handwriting will mostly be similar. The records of this place can be roughly classified into three categories.

The first is an example of a letter written by a professor to himself. The writing content in this part well reflects the professor's attainments in this area, highlighting a kind of "impractical magnificence".

These coherent and smooth lines are actually not obtained by writing quickly, but by reducing the strength at the end of the stroke and gently pulling it to the position of the next letter, forming a continuous stroke. In actual writing, this kind of writing is not only inefficient, but it is also easy to make mistakes due to hand shaking.

But the lines that go back and forth will make the written words have a sense of integrity and beauty. Coupled with the professor's good control over line spacing and letter size, the paper still maintains machine-like neatness and precision on paper without auxiliary horizontal lines.

The professor must have been in a good state of mind when writing these words, so that he had the energy to pursue an almost extremely delicate and beautiful look in his handwriting.

The second font should be used when faster speed is required.

Most of the strokes in these fonts are slightly thinner, and when you pick them up and look closely, there are fewer burrs caused by the ink smearing, indicating that the professor wrote quickly and stayed for a short time.

There are often sudden breaks in these contents, and the continuous writing of the text suddenly gets stuck where it should be, leaving a broken end or a lingering ink spot. It seems that I stopped to consider the words while writing, and the original train of thought was interrupted and continued, which meant that the rhythm was somewhat disrupted.

After continuing to write, the professor made a quick addition and reconnected the disconnected parts. Because it is a newly added part, it is not as natural as coherent writing when examined carefully, leaving Kraft with the possibility of discovery.

As for the third type, it is the best one to pick out. This type of notes clearly shows that the writer's mind is not on his hands, the thickness of the strokes is uneven, and the coherence and integrity are poor. There are often differences in the degree of inclination of letters within a page, which is rare for a person with a fixed writing habit.

In this type of record, there are at least half more words that neither Kraft nor Lucius recognizes than on other papers, and as many as half a page is completely unreadable information.

Uppercase and lowercase are mixed with each other, and parts that do not conform to writing standards can be seen everywhere. They are separated from each other by indistinguishable punctuation. They look like clerical errors but cannot be inferred from the original meaning.

In the most serious pictures, the gaps between the letters are broken and they are crowded and stacked. They would rather squeeze into a ball than expand into the blank space next to them. They are on par with Kraft's level before he practiced calligraphy, and the recognition level is infinitely close to zero.

There were also a handful of awkward characters that Kraft had no clue about and didn't fit any way of writing. Some were drawn against the normal direction. After finding that there was not enough ink, they were scratched at the same position several times until the fibers on the paper were destroyed and traces were carved out.

"Are you really sure this is the professor's handwriting?" Kraft picked out the third priority and asked Lucius, pointing to the strokes that pierced the paper on one of them.

This way of writing is not only ugly, but will also cause great damage to the pen tip and make a harsh friction sound when writing. Imagine a needle scratching across sandpaper full of small bumps, causing an uncomfortable sound as it scratches the eardrum, and an irregular tremor is transmitted to the fingertips holding the penholder.

Transposing this action to the tip of the pen, at least Kraft is consciously intolerable and can effectively treat hypotension symptoms at the moment of seeing it. It is unlikely that normal people will like this kind of operation, just like humans will instinctively reject the ultimate noise of scraping an iron pot with a spatula.

Lucius took a closer look and gave an affirmative answer: "I just have some impression of this one. It was indeed written by the professor. Because it was a note taken just before leaving, and it looks special, so I can be sure."

Kraft frowned, folded the piece of paper on top, and brought it to the window to try to understand the professor's meaning again.

Many people may have their own special writing methods, and they will get tangled up when writing quickly and not paying attention. But this one was different. He was sure that it was definitely not a special capitalization of any letter.

Using the pen in reverse direction, the tip of the pen scratched the fiber of the paper, and it took several strokes to "carve" the symbol. The ink is sometimes more and sometimes less, and is transferred between the damaged fibers, turning a line into a rosary-shaped strip made of lumps and irregular points.

Kraft's consciousness absorbed its shape and matched it with the lesions formed by tuberculosis in narrow tube lumen, like a rosary of tumors and cysts. The disgusting outline is the result of the distortion of an ordered thing.

The sharp and retracing ink lines pass through the surroundings and converge on another symbol, like a skinny hand with slender nails digging into the lesion. They are surrounded by long and narrow letters that are like a swarm of flying flies. The arrangement of the letters looks like a circle or a square. If you look at it for a long time, you will have the illusion of movement and deformation.

He has never seen such a word. No, he should not use words to describe such an unnatural thing. People who are still sane should not and cannot erase such things.

If that was the record left by Professor Kalman, Kraft would rather believe that an evil spirit really took over the professor's body, deceived everyone, and then wrote the worst joke it knew.

"No, there must be something wrong." Craft concluded, looking away from the paper. It is not easy to gather consciousness after it has spread out, and the mind is filled with inevitable associations, pulling out the most unappetizing or profound things in the memory, combining them with the current content, and confusing them as the product of nausea.

The nausea forced him to get away from the papers as quickly as possible and put them back into a closed container that could not be seen.

"I think I have some clues. Let's separate them first."

"Okay, you have the final say when the professor is not here." Lucius followed suit and took out a few pieces of wood to use as bookmarks.

So Kraft spent some time sorting the three types of records and put them back into the boxes, separated by wooden pieces to facilitate further subdivision and sorting next time.

With two more bangs, the lid of the box was closed again, and the room returned to a tidy and comfortable state. Kraft breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief. But the matter is far from over. The unknown secret laboratory is now waiting for them to deal with it in the medical school.

It's impossible to make a gas mask, and it's not reliable to just cover it with a wet cloth. You have to think of other ways.

If there is any way, there is indeed no way. Craft thought of the beak mask, a piece of equipment often associated with black doctors in the Middle Ages, which indeed existed in this world.

He really didn't know what it was like. The understanding of this is limited to some popular science articles from unknown sources, which say that the bird's mouth is filled with cloth bags filled with spices and herbs.

It seems to make some sense, right? It also seems to make no sense at all.

"Lucius, I would like to ask, are there any masks here that are worn when meeting plague patients? The kind with a pointed beak." Kraft clasped his hands together in front of his mouth to make a beak. look.

"Is it really necessary?" Lucius couldn't understand. Today he was exhausted physically and mentally by Kraft, and his enthusiasm for the experiment was drained a lot. "Even if it is really poisonous, we only drank the diluted sample." He’s unconscious.”

For a moment, the thought "It seemed like I was really too vigilant" took over, and Kraft quickly shook it off. In the past, because the professor and Lucius often did experiments, the door was opened and ventilated every day. Now that the laboratory has been closed for a week, it is hard to say what will happen if there is real volatility.

If you make too much preparation, it will only waste a while. If you don't prepare, you will probably waste all the rest of your life. He can calculate this account clearly.
