Ye Feng laughed and said, "That's the mystery of the human body."
The conjecture proposed by the Academy of Strange Things combines the theory of acupoints in ancient medicine. They believe that there is a Lingtai acupoint in the human brain, which carries the human spirit.
Ancient medical texts state, "The inner workings of the body can only be perceived by those who look inward."
The gist is that when a person opens their internal vision, they can see all the acupoints in the human body. However, we know that modern anatomy cannot find any acupoints at all.
Therefore, most people only think that what is said in ancient books is just ancient people making a fuss and pretending to be gods and ghosts.
It wasn't until more than a decade ago, with the bizarre recurrence of the phenomenon, that the higher-ups realized that the world was far more complex than they had imagined.
The government ordered archaeological teams to excavate ancient ruins while searching for records of strange occurrences in existing texts in order to find ancient methods of dealing with them.
But during the war between the alien races hundreds of years ago, the mysterious group of Taoists completely disappeared, and all books about history were destroyed. All that can be found are the alien races' information about shamanism.
Shamanism believes in animism, and their so-called shamanistic rituals, in today's view, are nothing more than a way of using supernatural forces.
After failing to find a good solution to the strange occurrences in shamanistic texts, experts at the Academy of Strange Events proposed the Lingtai hypothesis based on theories about acupoints found in ancient medical texts.
They believe that acupoints are virtual spiritual spaces that exist in the human body but cannot be observed with the naked eye.
The most important of these acupoints is the Lingtai acupoint. The spirit resides within the Lingtai acupoint.
In the conjecture about the Lingtai acupoint, the ancients referred to internal observation as using the Lingtai acupoint as a dwelling place to observe all the acupoints of the human body with their spirit.
But what is the principle behind this bizarre intrusion?
The theory is that something strange invaded the Lingtai acupoint and eroded the person's spirit!
In this situation, the Lingtai acupoint will activate its automatic protection mechanism, trapping the strange entity.
The lowest level, F-grade, is extremely difficult to break through the Lingtai acupoint.
Two scenarios will then occur: one is that the will collapses under the strange invasion, and the person goes insane.
One type is where a person's spirit, aided by the Lingtai acupoint, temporarily suppresses the supernatural, thus becoming a "suppressor of supernatural beings."
"But level D and above anomalies can break through the limitations of the spiritual platform, completely destroying the spirit of an ordinary person, leading to their death."
Hou Wenjie was retrieving information from Ye Feng's words while analyzing Xiao Wang's past experiences.
Judging from Xiao Wang's bizarre death, the python at the time clearly did not meet the characteristics of an F-level bizarre creature, and was most likely a D-level one.
According to Ye Feng, the space he saw flowing with streams of memories was the Lingtai!
Therefore, the strange python trapped in Xiao Wang's spiritual space clearly does not match Ye Feng's description of a D-level strange creature's ability to break through the spiritual acupoint.
Could it be because this strange entity split into two parts, with one part entering the original owner's body and the other part entering Xiao Wang's body, causing the strange entity to drop from level D to level F?
According to Ye Feng, the F-level anomaly might be part of a split of some other anomaly. From this perspective, it seems quite possible.
Due to the unique nature of its recent split, this F-class anomaly also possessed some of the abilities of a D-class anomaly, ultimately leading to Xiao Wang's death.
If my speculation comes true, does that mean that the D-level anomaly does not possess human intelligence? Otherwise, why would it actively split and ultimately become trapped?
Hou Wenjie thought about it and shook his head inwardly. A single sample cannot prove universality.
Suppressing his thoughts, Hou Wenjie asked, "Then how should ordinary people deal with supernatural phenomena of level F or higher?"
Ye Feng's expression turned serious, and he said, "D-level monsters can directly destroy the mind and body of ordinary people, but they are like bosses in computer games, following unique killing rules. If ordinary people can avoid triggering those killing rules, they also have a chance to survive, although it is very slim."
"This is the kind of situation our municipal-level Bureau of Paranormal Affairs typically deals with. It's quite dangerous, but once we understand the strange patterns in the killings, we can imprison them."
"Detained?" Hou Wenjie keenly caught the word.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Yes, more than ten years ago, when the supernatural had just appeared, the people who sealed the supernatural did not know how to imprison them."
Most of the time, they used the strange abilities within their own bodies to consume the strange power, divide the strange, and then seal the strange into their own bodies or into the bodies of other volunteers willing to become "sealers." At that time, the casualty rate of sealers was quite high.
Until a scholar from the Academy of Mysterious Sciences discovered in ancient books that in the ancient burial system, terracotta figurines were not only sacrificial offerings to the deceased in place of living people, but also served to protect the deceased from evil spirits and prevent them from becoming evil spirits that would harm living beings.
This discovery filled the scholars of the Academy of Mysterious Sciences with anticipation, and they couldn't wait to try experiments to verify the authenticity of the ancient records.
Afterwards, in order to ensure the best success rate of the experiment, the Academy of Strange Sciences used terracotta warriors from the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and the result excited everyone.
The strange creature was actually imprisoned inside the terracotta warrior!
However, this confinement was not long-lasting, as the terracotta figures would also be destroyed by strange erosion.
Therefore, the terracotta figures need to be replaced regularly. This shouldn't be a problem in itself, but when we used modern technology to create identical terracotta figures to imprison the supernatural, it all failed!
After careful analysis, experts believe that ancient terracotta figurines may have had acupoints similar to those in humans!
Experts speculate that perhaps the ancient Confucian sage's saying, "Those who initiate such practices will have no descendants," hides an even more chilling secret.
Hearing this, Hou Wenjie couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. If the Lingtai acupoint really existed in the terracotta figurines, then the phrase "The one who first made terracotta figurines, will he have no descendants?" was truly a curse wishing that the first person to make terracotta figurines would be childless.
So, did the sage believe that the pottery maker had committed an act that angered both Heaven and man, and is it because experts speculate that the terracotta figurines contained additional acupoints?
Since only humans have the Lingtai acupoint, does that mean that the Lingtai acupoints in the terracotta figurines once belonged to living people?
The spirit resides in the Lingtai acupoint! So, where is the spirit of the people whose Lingtai acupoints were moved to the terracotta figurines?
If everything is as the experts from the Bureau of Mysteries speculate, then the so-called terracotta figurines may be even more cruel than human sacrifice.
Ye Feng continued to tell Hou Wenjie about the bizarre knowledge: "Above D level is C level. This kind of bizarre outbreak is more harmful and can easily cause regional cases."
The B-level and A-level supernatural beings above them have even more terrifying killing patterns. Even those who are not strong enough to be sealed as supernatural beings will be corrupted and turned into idiots just by looking at them.
I've covered all the basic facts about the supernatural. Now tell me about your aunt.
Your aunt, Tu Cuiyun, went insane and disappeared two years later.
For people like her who suddenly go insane for unusual reasons, the Bureau of Mysteries may outwardly ignore them, but they still track their movements.
This marker would trigger an unusual alert from the Bureau of Ghost Stories when she left the area.
At the time, the Bureau of Ghost Stories was short-staffed and only sent three ordinary police officers to conduct the investigation.
Based on the location information, the police found Tu Cuiyun at a noodle shop in Yangshan Town, Dachuan City, which borders our city.
According to the records, Tu Cuiyun had bright eyes, wore lipstick, and wore new clothes. She looked very beautiful and elegant.
Based on their years of experience, the police judged that this could not possibly be a mental patient.
After finishing her noodles and leaving the noodle shop, she asked a passerby for directions and then continued on her way.
Two of the police officers followed slowly from a distance, while one went to ask passersby about the situation.
After the police showed their identification, the passerby told them how to get to Luomen Village.
Luomen Village! Hou Wenjie appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was in turmoil.
In a strange forum, someone mentioned Luomen Village in Dachuan City! The few remaining elderly people in that village suddenly disappeared not long ago!
