Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

"There is no moon, are you sure?" The possibility of not seeing it is not ruled out, but with such a large celestial body, the probability of not seeing it is too small.

Green did not answer immediately, but thought again, looking for the window in the dream, recalling the world dominated by the torrential rain that he glimpsed from it. I am afraid it is impossible to see the moon in such weather.

"No." He confirmed, "It rains heavily. I have been in Dunling for many years and I have never seen that level of rain."

"It shouldn't be."

"Why not?" The priest felt that this man was more nagging than him. The clergy at most had the power to interpret dreams, but this man could also control the weather in the dream.

That is of course due to rich practical experience. Kraft couldn't answer that, but he was sure that in his past experience, he had never encountered any weather changes on that side.

In my impression, whether it is Wendeng Port or Westminster, the deep zone always maintains a calmness like a faded oil painting before the real danger appears. That calmness has almost become the default rule, like a wax figure shaped after a real person. , no matter how realistic it is, it will not move.

Not to mention Westmin, which has a similar climate, even in Wendeng Port on the coast, no traces of weather changes have been found after passing there.

As for Dun Ling, he knew that the situation here was extremely complicated and there was no need to take risks, so he had not experienced it personally.

But someone had gone there for him.

He clearly remembered that in the pagan den of Westminster, he obtained a manuscript that was highly suspected to belong to Edward, the author of "The Structure of the Human Body", and the bacteria-speckled paper was still in his hands.

It perfectly restores how the recorder was locked by the creeping creatures in the deep layer, and how he happened to have a buffer time due to the terrain, and returned to the present world while looking directly at the celestial body above his head.

Finally there are Edward's characteristic cervical markings, which are very believable.

Considering that the manuscript also mentions compiling a monograph, it can be inferred that the time should be around the time when "The Structure of the Human Body" was written.

The completion and dissemination of "Human Structure" is basically recognized in Dunling, and the author is also considered to be a native of Dunling. It can be speculated that during the completion of the manuscript, there was no weather change in the depths of Dunling like other places.

If the deep creatures drag people there, it will be a rainy day, and the ending may be very different.

Kraft was a little unsure if Green's condition was what he knew, or if it was simply some form of post-traumatic stress disorder.

"There are documented records that in such dreams in the Dunling area, it will not rain."

"Documents? What documents?"

"It is an only copy, non-public information, and it is a case report, which is more empirical." Kraft explained that the people in the trial court did not know that this thing is good for everyone, "it is for reference only."

"How old is this document of yours?"

"Well, it must have been fifty or sixty years ago." Looking at a doctor based on a record from more than half a century ago is still hasty. The best way is to go down and see with your own eyes.

The problem is that he doesn't want to go down. The act of going down itself is a chronic suicide. If the situation goes wrong, it will become a real suicide.

Kraft was hesitant. After such a long time, something could have changed, or it could be that the period when the manuscript was written happened to be a period of stable weather in the deep Dunling.

A compromise is to leave Dunling temporarily and find a place far enough away to live for a while to see if there are any changes.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Green took down the pot holder from the fire, wrapped the handle with a wet cloth, filled the three empty cups with hot water, and motioned to Wading to close the door with his eyes, "There is a monk, His name is Sandor, you probably don’t know his name, but you have met him and we came back together before.”

"What's wrong with him? Did he also dream?"

"Perhaps, it's hard to say whether it's worse." Blowing away the foam floating on the tea surface, Green took a sip of hot tea. The hot liquid gave him some tingling warmth, driving away some of the pain from last night. Damp atmosphere.

"Drinking water that is too hot is not good for your mouth and esophagus." Kraft frowned and reminded him out of habit.

Green hesitated. He couldn't swallow the tea in his mouth, nor could he spit it out.

"Frequent burns to the mucous membranes may increase the probability of esophageal cancer. Sorry, I'm used to it in my profession. You can continue."

"He came to me last night. His condition was very similar to what he had after a close encounter with that thing in the tomb, or in other words, he was very similar to those pagans."

"Has it happened earlier?"

"No, to be precise, I'm not sure. We are temporarily restricted from going out. Apart from praying every day, I basically can't see him." Green was very confused about this matter, as if he found that the patient started to have fever and cough soon after being discharged from the hospital. family members.

I couldn't understand what was wrong, so I simply called the doctor to take a look.

"Shouldn't it be that things will get better if you stay away from those things?"

"It's really unreasonable." According to the performance in the mausoleum at that time, the monks who had cognitive abnormalities recovered quickly after leaving the source of influence.

Under normal circumstances, they should gradually get better until the scab from that experience heals and becomes a mental scar that they dare not touch.

"Can you leave Dunling? I suggest you find a place far enough away as soon as possible to observe changes in the condition. It is best to have a better environment." At this time, you can try empirical treatment to distance yourself from possible pathogenic factors. Can't go wrong.

The Notre Dame Cathedral is still not far enough from the Knights Island Mausoleum. Maybe that thing is still capable of affecting more sensitive individuals at this distance.

Changing to a place with a better natural environment will also help to stay away from the depressive atmosphere of Dunling, which is good for mental illness.

"In fact, that's what we did. Brother Sandor has been controlled and will be sent to a monastery for treatment in the near future." After receiving confirmation from professionals, the priest felt more at ease.

"But I can't go there yet. If this happens, there will be more trouble to deal with."

"Is there no way?"

Green's attitude was very firm, which in the doctor's opinion was a typical behavior when he felt his condition was not serious. "There are a lot of things to do."

"Well, keep in close contact." Kraft knew very well that he couldn't be persuaded, so it might be a good idea to stay within the scope of his help. "Is there any other information? For example, what did the monk say? "

Mentioning this, Green's sense of gloom became even stronger.

"It's pretty much what the pagans said, doors, an end to suffering, more people, and 'it's coming' stuff, wanting to send the whole city to hell to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the evil thing. "

"It sucks."

"That's not true." Green shook his head and sighed. Even though those who wavered seemed to him to have weak willpower and deviated beliefs, it was still extremely painful to lose each one.

He fell silent, sipping his cool tea, while Kraft thought about something else.

When the observed phenomenon is inconsistent with the theory, there are two possibilities: one is that the theory is imperfect, and the other is that the observation itself has limitations.

Under normal circumstances, Kraft is still more inclined to believe that theories derived from past experience are flawed, and tries to make adjustments based on the original basis.

However, it is also necessary to consider other situations.

It seems that they are far away from the source of the influence, but is it possible that it is not their problem, but that something is really approaching? On another level?

What does it mean if it really rains heavily over there?

He thought of the notes he had obtained in the mausoleum, and of the man who heard a certain sound on a rainy day.

"Green, have you had any auditory hallucinations recently?"

Thanks to "Niye" for the reward! (*°▽°*) But there is no need to specifically reward the author, the update is only related to the unstable rest time.
