Chapter 111 Prisoner Theory

Feng Hongtu thought for a moment and then said:

"Brother, I have learned about the process of how you became a Feng Guiren."

While we were talking, someone had already used the video footage from the monitoring equipment to add the information about your process of becoming a "sealed ghost" to your initial review file.

Since you previously said you were willing to join the Bureau of Strange Events, we will have a special booklet called "The Rules of the Strange" about knowledge about the supernatural, which we will distribute to you later.

Our intranet, the Bureau of Mysteries, will also allow you to verify your identity.

Of course, if you have any specific questions you'd like to ask, feel free to ask me now.

Through previous tests, Feng Hongtu witnessed the bizarre abilities wielded by Hou Wenjie.

From Hou Wenjie's previous account, he also learned that Hou Wenjie was born with a very strong spirit.

Feng Hongtu deeply understood what a strong spirit meant! It meant a greater control over the supernatural! It also meant being able to live longer under the influence of the supernatural.

Therefore, Feng Hongtu was willing to give Hou Wenjie some preferential treatment.

Hearing Feng Hongtu say this, Hou Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "Brother Feng, what are your plans to do about the strange thing in Wang Ming's body?"

Hou Wenjie recalled how easily he had entered Wang Ming's spiritual platform and captured the strange phenomena within.

At the time, I didn't understand anything, I didn't know any strange knowledge, and I didn't think anything of it.

But now that the old story is brought up again, thinking back to when he controlled the strange entity to enter Wang Ming's spiritual platform, why didn't he feel the spiritual platform's restraint and turned back so easily?

Does this mean that at that time, one's mental state far exceeded the level of F-level eeriness to some extent?

In the blink of an eye, Hou Wenjie had thought of many things.

Upon hearing Hou Wenjie's question, Feng Hongtu replied without much thought, "We don't need to worry about it!"

Firstly, because the Lingtai acupoint is essentially a seal, and the spirit within it has already disappeared.

The Lingtai acupoint sealed the strange object inside, forcing it into a deep sleep.

Our current method of imprisonment, as Ye Feng has explained to you before, involves using terracotta figurines, which, in essence, use the Lingtai acupoint as a sealing vessel.

Secondly, Wang Ming's body had already been cremated, and his acupoints (Lingtai) were nowhere to be found.

Upon hearing Feng Hongtu's last sentence, Hou Wenjie couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'the Lingtai acupoint has disappeared'?"

Feng Hongtu considered for a moment and said, "According to Dr. Yang Ning's research at the Academy of Strange Things, the human body is like a big tree, and those acupoints are like the fruits growing on that tree. Among them, the Lingtai acupoint is the most plump fruit at the top of the tree."

These fruits can usually contain the spirit, but only the Lingtai acupoint is the true dwelling place of the spirit.

These fruits and the tree itself do not exist in the same space; or more precisely, the tree exists in the real world, while the fruits exist in a dimensional space. The two are connected through both physical and spiritual means.

When a person dies, it signifies the death of their spirit, but the body can still barely sustain the fruits of their labor.

Once the flesh has decayed, all the fruit will fall and become difficult to find.

Hou Wenjie nodded. Combining this with what he saw of the Lingtai acupoint through internal vision, the theoretical description was indeed very vivid. He thought for a moment and asked one last question:

"Previously, Ye Feng told me some knowledge about F-level bizarre invasions of the human body."

One point he mentioned was that when an F-level supernatural entity invades a human body and causes the person to become mentally ill, the supernatural entity itself will be bound by the Lingtai acupoint, and its activity frequency will decrease.

I don't really understand this. Logically speaking, even if the supernatural is bound in the spiritual platform, it can still become stronger by eroding the spirit. With the other side gaining and losing, it should become stronger and stronger.

Moreover, for the same reason, I am also puzzled about what the future holds for the Sealed Ghosts.

Feng Hongtu said: "This point is actually mentioned in the 'Strange Rules'."

It is the "Prisoner's Dilemma".

The Lingtai acupoint is not only the abode of the spirit, but it can also replenish the spirit when it is depleted.

For the supernatural, the Lingtai acupoint is a prison, and the spirit is the warden.

In the mental patient's spiritual realm, although the warden is inactive and even suppressed by the supernatural, fortunately the spiritual realm suppresses the supernatural, only allowing it to receive a small amount of mental replenishment.

This spiritual replenishment is only enough to offset what is needed for the bizarre to maintain the most basic state.

In a way, this is actually the most perfect seal.

For those who seal away the supernatural beings, they must both imprison the supernatural beings and utilize their power.

Once the strange power is borrowed, the person who seals the strange will be tainted with strange characteristics, both physically and mentally.

As I mentioned before, the Lingtai acupoint is maintained through both physical and mental processes.

In this case, Weird, who was originally a prisoner, is gradually stealing the warden's authority.

When a person's spirit is tainted with strange qualities, it gradually becomes strange as well, and various negative emotions are amplified.

Therefore, once a certain critical point is reached, we must consider sealing this strange phenomenon!

Sealing this strange entity is not difficult, but the transformation of people into strange entities is irreversible.

At times like these, one needs to find something that can suppress the previous eerie strangeness and seal it into one's own body.

But this is essentially like drinking poison to quench thirst, equivalent to using a second cup of poison to counteract the poison of the first cup.

Once a new, eerie ability is used, the person who seals the eerie entity is essentially tainted by a new eerie entity.

After several such incidents, the Sealed Ghost Man will become a truly bizarre, stitched-together monster.

This is also the peak of power that Feng Guiren can achieve.

Then, either the sealed monster actively separates itself from the sealed entity before it goes out of control, or it completely loses control and becomes a monster.

This is the fate of all those who seal away the supernatural.

At this point, Feng Hongtu's words were filled with solemnity:

"We not only have to face the coming, potentially more intense, and bizarre waves, but we may also have to face our former comrades-in-arms who have now become bizarre allies."

The eerie cannot be eliminated, nor can the seal on the terracotta figurines last forever.

The most severe test has arrived.

All of us who are sealed away will face a war in which no one will survive.

Once we become part of the Sealed Ghosts, we've cut off all our escape routes; there's only one path left to take.

"Strive upwards, become a hero, there is no other choice."

As Hou Wenjie listened, he was moved by the emotions in Feng Hongtu's words. He paused for a moment before saying, "I want more information about Luomen Temple, and I also want the latest news about Ye Feng."

Feng Hongtu thought for a moment and said, "I will have someone transfer the information about Luomen Temple and Ye Feng to your account at the Bureau of Mysteries later. Wait a moment!"

Assistant Zhang should bring you your police ID, the USB drive for logging into the intranet, and that book, "The Rules of the Strange," soon.

After a pause, Feng Hongtu said, "You're a newcomer. Over the next week, you'll need to learn more about the supernatural. Then, the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs will assign you appropriate tasks based on the situation."

So, what are your plans for the future?
