Chapter 23: Identifying Poison
After deciding to attend the secret meeting, Dorothy has been facing a problem, that is, if she really meets someone she wants the secret teachings from, what kind of chips should she use to exchange for the secret teachings? Although Dorothy believes that she has some money, she is not sure whether that little money is really enough for the secret meeting.
So, Dorothy thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate to exchange extraordinary items for extraordinary items. The only extra extraordinary items she had were those spiritual fingers. Dorothy could keep one to charge the corpse ring and sell the remaining two. After all, one finger could be charged three times, and the total could keep the ring running for a long time.
However, if one wants to use spiritual fingers to exchange things at the secret meeting, one will encounter another problem. That is, there are people from the Red Communion at the secret meeting. If one does not sell their things, it will definitely attract attention. It will be troublesome if people from the Communion come to the door after the meeting. So how to deal with the people from the Communion who follow after the meeting is another problem.
Dorothy's way of dealing with this problem is to... make full use of the fact that she still looks like a child, and pretend at the party that she was instructed by others. After all, not many people would believe that an innocent child would come to such a secret party on her own.
Dorothy then performed a double act with her own corpse puppet, making the trackers of the Red Communion believe that the corpse puppet was the mastermind behind Dorothy's operation, successfully shifting their target of pursuit to the corpse puppet. Then, she used the corpse puppet's own characteristics to jump into the river to shake off the pursuit.
Finally, they used the crow corpse puppets that had been used for surveillance to identify the pursuers and tracked them back to their base.
Now, Dorothy only needs to find a way to reveal some information to her brother and report to the Security Bureau, so that she can take advantage of the situation again to wipe out the Red Communion's stronghold.
But Dorothy didn't plan to do that now.
"This place is unlikely to be the headquarters. At best, it may just be a contact point. If we just want them to lose a contact point, there is no need to move for the time being..."
Dorothy took a sip of the extremely sweet coffee and murmured softly that for her, it didn't make much sense to attack the Holy Communion's stronghold now, as it would only alert the enemy at most.
She now needs to wait for a more appropriate time, a time that can deal a greater blow to the Holy Communion.
After taking another sip of coffee, Dorothy took out a thin old book from the small bag beside her and placed it on the table. This old book was the secret book she had bought from Gray Hill before, "The Exploration of Dreams". According to Gray Hill, it could teach people how to master dreams and enter the dream world.
"Is it a dream book? It's quite interesting. I wonder how much spirituality it contains..."
Dorothy was about to turn it over and take a look at it, but at this moment she thought of another thing.
That is, in the previous meeting, she repeatedly heard a word, that is, "knowing poison".
In the transactions between those people, many items are used to resist so-called drug-savvy people, just like the medicine scraps sold by the old woman at the beginning.
Dorothy was very curious, what exactly is the so-called cognitive poison? Why do those who believe in it look down on it so much? Is it a toxin? Then why would someone get poisoned by it?
Regarding this, the rich man code-named "Shepherd Dog" did give some clues.
He once declined to buy the secret teachings of Huiqiu. The reason was that he had just finished practicing the secret teachings he bought before, and was afraid that the accumulation of toxins would lead to contamination and loss of control if he practiced the new secret teachings?
In other words, practicing secret teachings will lead to being contaminated by some kind of poison?
Dorothy was suddenly shocked when she came to this conclusion, because she had already completed the study of the secret fragments of "Deconstruction of the Sacred Body". In this case, it must have been contaminated by the poison!
But the question is, why does she feel like there is no impact at all?
In her eyes, the fragments of "The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body" are just ordinary reference books with pictures and texts. It is refreshing to read, but the expressive power of pictures and texts is limited after all. In the end, it has not reached the point of spiritual pollution, right?
If this little trick is considered mental pollution, then what are those anatomy classes in medical school in the past life? What about surgery?
This is what Dorothy finds strange. Those women in the society keep saying that practicing secret teachings will lead to contamination by poison, and that various methods are needed to resist it, but why can't I feel it?
Maybe the amount is not enough? Or maybe I have been polluted, but I just don’t realize it, and my consciousness has been subtly rewritten?
Thinking of this, Dorothy shook her head. First of all, she felt that it was unlikely that she had been contaminated but had not yet noticed it. Even if she did not notice it, the people around her should be able to notice it, especially Greg. He was a team leader in the Security Bureau and he must have seen people who were contaminated by drugs and lost control.
Moreover, if the drug-sensing pollution is subtle, it will be impossible to detect it, and there will be no way to resist or guard against it. There will not be so many people seeking drugs to resist drug-sensing pollution in society, so drug-sensing pollution can definitely be detected by subjective consciousness.
Then it’s a question of quantity…
Thinking of this, Dorothy decided to do a little experiment.
After drinking her coffee, Dorothy went downstairs and took a carriage to a deserted suburban river.
In the afternoon, the sun shone on the grass by the river. Dorothy sat on the grass where the river breeze blew and took out "Dream Explorations".
She wanted to read the book here, slowly reading page by page, while paying attention to the changes in her mental state, to see if the so-called poison recognition really existed and whether it could have any effect on her.
If she feels uncomfortable, she will stop reading immediately.
