Chapter 4 Three Hypotheses, Music Box

Time always flies fast when swimming in the ocean of knowledge. In his past and present lives, Wang Xiaoming has never been like this. Learning is like drinking water. He can feel his knowledge improvement every moment.

If everyone can become a generalist, maybe everyone has already driven a spaceship to escape from this planet cursed by the supernatural.

Suppressing the desire to continue reading, Wang Xiaoming looked at his watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. It was just right to go to other laboratories to use the identification spell and then go off work.

Overtime? That's impossible.

He is not the workaholic he used to be. The combination of work and rest is the kingly way.

In addition, the new knowledge he learned just now did not bring him any feedback from the potion, but Wang Xiaoming was not in a hurry. He thought that this was because the new knowledge he learned was not enough, or there were some unclear reasons.

But he knew that as long as he persisted, he would definitely gain something.

According to the order, he came to the No. B laboratory, first passed through a dressing room, put on a relatively heavy protective suit, and then walked through the corridor to enter the No. B laboratory. Several experimenters were working seriously, also wearing protective suits. Among them, the short Chen Wei was checking the data seriously.

Without disturbing them, Wang Xiaoming looked in the direction of the golden glass. The layout here was similar to that of the Class A laboratory. There was a fierce ghost in the observation room behind the golden glass that was not imprisoned in the golden box.

The reason for this is that its horror level is not high, and the killing pattern has been figured out. It was transferred to the laboratory in the hope that new things could be studied from it.

In the observation room, the fierce ghost appeared in the shape of a human palm, dry and black, with slender fingers and sharp nails.

The whole was firmly fixed on the test bench by a golden chain. The instrument next to it that could prevent the erosion of the supernatural was operating at high power, emitting invisible rays to the dry arm.

However, under this high-energy ray that can kill an elephant instantly, the dry palm is only slightly red, without any damage, as if nothing has happened. Only the gold chain fixed next to it shows signs of melting and deformation, which proves the power of the ray just now.

When the gold chain was found to have some changes, the ray instrument had stopped working, various detection equipment started, and the computer on the workbench instantly displayed a waterfall of data.

Then the data was compared, the supernatural body changed, the air changed, whether supernatural substances appeared...

This is their experiment, which is repeated and exhaustive, tedious and boring, hoping to find a way to restrain the evil spirit through scientific experiments.

Having read the original novel, he clearly knew that this was impossible. Only ghosts can deal with ghosts. Until the late stage of the novel, Yang Jian also used supernatural power to end the evil spirit.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaoming tapped his cheek twice through the protective suit and turned on the spiritual vision.

The changes in front of him were shocking. The observation room seemed to be occupied by darkness. The aura of the evil spirit was like a dark abyss, which made people feel inexplicably fearful. The constant sense of danger from the spirit made Wang Xiaoming take a step back.

Looking at the dry palm again, the horror feeling just now was gone. In the observation room, the aura of the dry palm turned into a dark cloud, filling the space, and the dry palm in the middle of the aura emitted a strange black light, which was very strange.

In the dark aura, there was still a black light...

Until there was no new discovery, Wang Xiaoming closed his spiritual vision, pressed the identification spell close to his skin with his other hand, mobilized his spirituality, silently recited the spell, and used the identification spell.

Hiss...

The spell began to heat up, and energy was transmitted from the spell into the body. Wang Xiaoming's eyes glowed again. He looked at the strange dry arm and used his identification ability.

‘Unknown extraordinary substance…’

‘Unknown extraordinary energy…’

‘Unknown rule fragments…’

Three pieces of unknown information appeared in his heart, and he began to feel a little sore in his eyes. The energy of the identification spell was rapidly consumed. Just when Wang Xiaoming thought that there was a problem with the identification, a complete message suddenly appeared-

‘The spiritual weapon that fell into silence contains the curse rule that will kill you if you touch it. It will strengthen its own rules as the curse kills and revive. Long-term use will corrode the body of living beings. ’

Wang Xiaoming slowly tasted the last information that appeared. At this time, the talisman in the protective suit had lost its energy. It did not last for a minute, but lost its power after identifying a spiritual thing.

Wang Xiaoming compared the information in the spiritual file and found that this identification was very successful. The killing rules of the dry arm were identified.

As for the growth with killing, he also guessed this in his heart, and this time it was completely confirmed.

It was just that the naming of the spiritual weapon surprised him a little. After all, these spiritual things are walking ghosts in the eyes of humans, and can be regarded as a kind of strange life. Why are they considered weapons in the identification?

Or is the name of weapon more in line with his cognition? After all, the information from the appraisal emerged from the bottom of his heart.

It is a pity that the appraisal did not tell him the source of the supernatural. It is impossible to discover the biggest secret of this world with only the ability of Sequence Seven.

However, he also has many guesses about the source of the supernatural in this world, whether in the past life or this life.

For example, he once thought that the supernatural in this world is like the devil fruit in the world of One Piece. The supernatural is the fruit that grows from a tree. When the fruit is ripe, it will appear randomly anywhere in the world.

If you want to completely solve the supernatural, you have to form a team, travel around the supernatural land, find the magic tree that breeds the supernatural, and knock it down.

This was an idea in his previous life, a supernatural version of One Piece.

Another is that there is some advanced civilization behind the supernatural, and the supernatural is the rule-based robot they made, which is very consistent with the supernatural weapons given by the appraisal.

The earth is actually an alien experimental field, used to test the power of rule weapons.

It’s just that some parts of this idea don’t make sense. There have never been aliens in the original work, and there were no aliens messing around when Yang Jian became a god in the end.

There is another conjecture that is most likely, that these supernaturals are part of the real ghosts and gods, and when all the supernatural puzzles are assembled, the ghosts and gods will revive.

This is the idea of ​​most book friends.

This conjecture began to sprout in Wang Xiaoming’s heart after he obtained the old inheritance, because the supernatural and extraordinary characteristics have many similarities, and they also have the ability to be immortal, and they also have the characteristics of gathering and finding puzzles. Digesting extraordinary characteristics or controlling supernatural ghosts will gain extraordinary power.

While gaining extraordinary power, they all face madness and loss of control.

In short, there are many similarities between the two, which makes Wang Xiaoming somewhat suspicious that there are old-time-level horrors entrenched around the Earth.

It is useless to think too much. Wang Xiaoming cut off the spreading thoughts and put his perspective back to the present. At least he knows the plot of the original work and has the old heritage. He is full of confidence in the future.

Finally, after taking a look at the dry palm, Wang Xiaoming left Laboratory B and came to Laboratory C. Like Laboratory B, an evil ghost was also being experimented here. It was a dark paw, and the killing rule was to step on the shadow.

The experiment here was quite noisy. The experimenters used a drill made of gold to try to destroy the body of the evil ghost. The whole laboratory was filled with the friction between gold and the evil ghost.

No problems were found. The experimenters were working very seriously. Wang Xiaoming did not waste the identification spell here and turned to Laboratory D.

Unlike the previous laboratory, the supernatural here is an item, a shabby wooden box, which is the music box that appeared many times in the original work. As long as the music box is opened, a strange music can be heard. As long as the music continues, there will be no death.

Of course, the so-called immortality is only relative. According to the original work, it is only the strength of Yang Jian's sixth-level ghost domain. It will not work when it reaches the seventh-level ghost domain.

There are very few experimenters here, only two. Because it is a special supernatural object, the experiment here is very gentle, without high-energy rays, high-voltage current and other things.

In the isolation area, in addition to the music box, there is a little white rabbit. It is still alive and kicking. It is locked in a small cage. Food and clean water are put in from time to time.

The music box is in an open state. It seems that the little white rabbit opened it... Haha, of course not.

Supernatural objects are only relatively safe, not without danger. If there is no gold suppression, when a creature approaches, the music box will open by itself. The protection consciousness is just the embodiment of the music box protecting food.

This laboratory mainly tests the changes of creatures during the protection period of the music box, and how to snatch life from the hands of the music box.

However, the experiment has been carried out for more than a dozen rounds, and only tested that the limit of the protection time of the music box does not exceed ten days. Once the time is up, the rabbit will die. There is no way to guarantee that the rabbit will survive.

And as the music box was used, it became more and more weird, and the red paint on it seemed to turn into blood.

Holding the bronze talisman in his pocket, Wang Xiaoming looked at the music box and chose to use it again. A familiar scene appeared, and he entered the state of identification again.

‘A supernatural weapon that has fallen into a dead state, a music box containing cursed music, will be protected by the curse when hearing the music, and will destroy the remaining consciousness after the music disappears. It can be revived by exercising the rules to enhance its own rules, and long-term use will erode the body of the living being. ’

‘At this time, the music box is exercising the rules. ’

“Dead... The so-called supernatural items are just dead ghosts, and they will be revived sooner or later.” Wang Xiaoming recalled the results of the identification just now.

"If that's the case, then those ghost riders who control dead ghosts are actually controlling a supernatural object."

"Is there any difference between silence and dead?"

He tapped his cheek to open his spiritual vision and looked at the music box. He saw that the originally worn-out music box was emitting a strong blood-red light, like a dazzling ruby. Unlike his dry palm, he did not see the aura of the music box, only the light emitted by spiritual power.

No, it should be the light emitted by supernatural power.

"It seems that this is also the difference between them. Even if the silent ghosts have not revived, they will affect the surrounding environment, while the power of the dead ghosts is completely restrained. It will only affect reality when it is used. I just don't know what the fully revived ghosts look like in the spiritual vision?"

Wang Xiaoming saw some differences. He could feel that what he saw now was just the tip of the supernatural iceberg.

He then looked at the little white rabbit next to the music box. Because it was a living creature, he clearly saw the different colors emitted from the little white rabbit.

The most conspicuous one was a bloody light in the brain. As the little white rabbit moved, Wang Xiaoming found that it was a ring emitting bloody light, which was the same as the light observed on the music box.

"This should be the curse of the music box." Wang Xiaoming thought, "It's just a little unclear. It would be better if I could see it more clearly."

Just as his mind moved, Wang Xiaoming was surprised to find that the super vision brought by the Secret Peer was combined with the psychic vision. Everything in front of him was magnified. He saw the true side of the blood-colored ring, which was composed of countless notes, constantly rotating and jumping in the brain of the little white rabbit.

After reading the real curse of the music box, Wang Xiaoming did not immediately exit this special state, but was obsessed with seeing more.

It was just that the speed of spiritual consumption made him overwhelmed, and he reluctantly exited this state.

Wang Xiaoming did not expect that the ability of psychic vision could be combined with the super vision of the Secret Peer to produce a more powerful ability. No wonder the Secret Peer sequence is said to be able to peek into the truth.

I really can't imagine how powerful the Secret Peer Eye will be after this sequence.

Back to the present, Wang Xiaoming began to recall the information about the music box.

According to the description of the music box in the original novel, when the music stops, the host will die. Now that he can see the curse directly, he has the opportunity to see how the music box erases the host's consciousness.

But how to determine the time of the little white rabbit's death?

"How long has the music box been open?" Wang Xiaoming asked the experimenter beside him.

"Professor!" The experimenter stood up quickly, then looked down at the record, "The music box was opened for two days, eight hours and seventeen minutes."

After that, the experimenter handed Wang Xiaoming a tablet-like object, "Professor, this is all the experimental data of the music box."

Wang Xiaoming took the tablet and checked the death record of the experimental subject, the little white rabbit. The probability of death within two days is 77%.

The probability of death within three days is 95%.

"It seems that the time of this little white rabbit is coming soon." Looking at the data in front of him, Wang Xiaoming made a judgment in his heart, and then returned the tablet to the experimenter in front of him, "You are busy, don't worry about me."

After seeing that the laboratory returned to its original appearance, Wang Xiaoming sat in the rest area, which was similar to the rest areas of other laboratories, and there were also sofas and coffee tables here.

Taking out a pen and paper, Wang Xiaoming wrote on the paper what he wanted to predict - the little white rabbit will die today.
