"This..."
Listening to Lu Xin's answer, Xia Chong suddenly didn't know how to answer it.
She is an honest girl, she doesn't know how to answer, she just looks at Lu Xin and she can't go back.
Dr. An, who was standing aside, watching with interest, glanced thoughtfully towards his office door.
He nodded, then gently stepped forward, held Xia Chong's arm, and said with a smile, "In the abyss, there are ever-changing things, and it is normal for some unexpected things to happen. You go and accompany the people in Qinggang first, and I will do the talking."
"Yes!"
Xia Chong agreed, then glanced at Lu Xin, turned and left the office.
This time when she opened the door, there was no such insect on her body, and the door she opened was an ordinary door.
And that Dr. An came to Lu Xin with a smile, leaned down gently, and raised her red lips slightly:
"Do you see clearly?"
"See clearly..."
Lu Xin replied subconsciously, and suddenly reacted. "See what?"
Dr. An just looked at him and smiled, folding his hands on his chest, making him look fuller.
"The source of pollution."
She whispered, "It can also be said to be the hometown of Mental Monster!"
"..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin raised his head sharply and looked at her.
The female researcher seemed to have some emotion on her face and said softly:
"As someone who has seen the abyss for the first time, your reaction is relatively calm."
"As for the others, except for some people who were born to be chosen and protected by the monsters in the abyss, after they see the abyss, they have two endings. One is to go crazy, and the other is to desperately want to stay there."
Lu Xin was silent for a while before asking, "So, what exactly is this abyss?"
"You haven't heard a word?"
Dr. An looked up at Lu Xin and asked with a smile, "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you!"
Lu Xin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the culture of the civilized era knows this sentence.
"This sentence can help you better understand the abyss."
Dr. An said softly, "The abyss, you can understand it as a collective subconscious ocean-like existence. Everyone has his own spiritual power and his own spiritual radiation. These radiations are intertwined and connect mankind into a whole."
"It is a projection of our spiritual world and an intertwining of our desires and emotions."
"Each of us is a drop of water in this ocean, and this ocean will always be related to each of us."
"..."
"Collective subconscious?"
Lu Xin frowned slightly after listening to her words.
In the past, in order to study what kind of disease he had, he read many spiritual books.
In this book, I have naturally seen this type of concept.
Speaking of which, this should refer to a psychological term, which roughly refers to a kind of spiritual deposit that is commonly possessed and inherited by human ancestors during the evolution process, and is at the bottom of the human spirit.
Although this world of collective subconsciousness is just a conjecture, it is manifested in human culture all the time. Religion, mythology, and art are all related to this.
"The abyss you mentioned should only be a symbolic existence..."
Lu Xin was a little clumsy, trying hard to express his point of view, looking at Dr. An: "But what I just experienced seems to be real... Moreover, even if there is such a collective subconscious ocean, all human thoughts and emotions will be projected here, intertwined into another level of the world, then it should also project evil thoughts and good thoughts. How is it possible, only negative?"
"..."
"Oh yo..."
Dr. An looked at Lu Xin with some surprise and said, "You gave me a little surprise."
As she said that, she bit her lip, looked at Lu Xin with soft eyes, and laughed softly, "Little brother, in this era where civilization is almost broken and everyone only knows how to eat and sleep with women, you are able to raise these questions. Your performance is unexpected."
Lu Xin suddenly felt helpless.
I rarely discuss academic issues with others in such a serious manner.
Why did this woman's words sound a little inappropriate at this time?
"You're right."
Dr. An chuckled softly, "In the world at the bottom of the spirit, there should be evil thoughts and good thoughts, negative thoughts and positive thoughts. It is even said that good thoughts should always be higher than evil thoughts. Only in this way can human beings survive and move forward."
"Even the name abyss refers to the fact that the evil thoughts in the lower spiritual world outweigh the good thoughts."
"If the good thoughts there outweigh the evil thoughts, it should be called the Kingdom of Heaven."
"..."
As she spoke, she held the cigarette between her two fingers, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the light smoke.
This woman actually learned to smoke in such a short period of time!
"We have speculated that before Crimson Moon incident occurred, a terrible change occurred in the old civilization."
"Because of this change, the evil thoughts of everyone in the world have overwhelmed the good thoughts, and reached a terrible proportion, which almost led to collapse. Therefore, the spiritual world not only formed an abyss, but even almost overflowed into the real world."
Dr. An continued speaking in a soft voice, "It is this phenomenon that led to the occurrence of Crimson Moon incident."
"..."
"The collective evil thoughts outweigh the good thoughts?"
"Is it serious?"
Lu Xin listened, surprised and confused. "How could such a thing happen?"
"I don't know."
When Dr. An talked about this issue, Leng Yan's face seemed to be covered with a shadow:
"It may be that due to some external reasons, the spiritual underlying world has changed."
"It may also be that some things in reality caused everyone in the world to have endless evil thoughts at that time, causing a serious imbalance in the underlying spiritual world. It is more likely because..."
"The existence of human beings and the accumulation of desire and malice would have led to such a situation..."
"..."
At this point, she sighed softly and said, "Research Institute knows many things, but there is no answer to this matter."
"In any case, it can be determined that it was the imbalance between evil thoughts and good thoughts in the underlying spiritual world for a certain period of time that led to the occurrence of Crimson Moon incident, which then led to the end of the old civilization. In the end, what we just saw, the abyss became a reality..."
"And, it's already peeking into the real world!"
"..."
Lu Xin fell silent.
He still felt a little weird.
Why Crimson Moon appears has always been a topic that has troubled everyone.
Whenever someone talks about how good Old Era civilization is, how orderly it is, how rich life is, and how bright the sun is, it naturally leads to another topic: How did such a good world become like this?
Everyone knows that it is because Crimson Moon, Crimson Moon is in the sky.
But where did Crimson Moon come from?
No one knows.
Now, according to what this female doctor means, it is not because of the appearance of Crimson Moon that people's evil thoughts overwhelm their good thoughts.
Is it because people's evil thoughts overwhelm their good thoughts that the moon turns red?
If this is the case, what is going on that causes people in this world to have so many evil thoughts at once?
"No matter what the truth behind the destruction of the world is, Crimson Moon has appeared after all."
"Then the abyss is the most serious problem we face."
"Just like under Crimson Moon, people's evil thoughts or other negative emotions can turn into Pollution Source and part of Mental Monster. The abyss is such a similar place. It can be understood that it is an unprecedentedly huge Pollution Source..."
Dr. An did not need Lu Xin to ask, so he continued speaking softly, "Many people intuitively believe that Pollution Source is Crimson Moon."
"But the moon is lifeless, and no one has ever detected spiritual radiation in the moonlight. Therefore, Research Institute has long speculated that Crimson Moon might be just a feature, the source of pollution, the source of all pollution, actually somewhere else?"
Having said this, she flicked the cigarette ashes. "With the discovery of Abyss Team's ability user, this question has gradually been answered."
"Abyss Team's ability users are relatively rare. Moreover, the ability users in this group are often dominated by strong malice, or have a strong desire to commit suicide. Therefore, it is not easy to find them at first. Many of them are immediately eliminated as Pollution Source."
"But once one or two more stable ability users are discovered, this problem will be solved."
"We confirmed the existence of the abyss through Abyss Team's ability user."
"..."
Dr. An said, his face became more serious, he looked at Lu Xin and said:
"Pollution, or the Mental Monster we usually clean up, actually has two types. One is naturally born among the crowd. Maybe someone will collapse due to various emotional problems, causing mental disorder, forming pollution, or Mental Monster."
"The other kind is the one that has penetrated our real world from the abyss..."
At this point, her expression could be called serious, "There have been many gaps between the abyss and the real world."
Listening to her words, Lu Xin remembered the mysterious organization called Hometown Association.
There was a question that bothered him and the drunkard at that time, that is, where did the Mental Monster they controlled come from?
Now, suddenly I got the answer.
"Because of the existence of the abyss, many problems become complicated."
Dr. An was using his slender fingers to gently pinch the center of his eyebrows and said:
"One of the biggest problems is the increase in pollution."
"And it's not just ordinary pollution, there will also be some Mental Monster in the abyss..."
"Such as the one you two met just now."
"They would have been in the abyss, just like in a nightmare, and would not have appeared in reality."
"But the power of the abyss is getting stronger and stronger, and they have come from the bottom spiritual world to the surface, and even reality..."
"..."
"You can understand it this way..."
She spoke slowly and paused slightly, as if she was thinking about how to make Lu Xin understand better:
"The real world and the abyss originally covered and overlapped each other."
"In the past, there was an invisible wall between them. This wall was very strong. Occasionally there would be a crack, and the things that came out wouldn't be that scary. But when the cracks in this wall get more and more big, it becomes scary."
Lu Xin nodded hurriedly.
As there are more and more cracks, more and more things enter the real world.
Same thing, getting more and more scary.
As a member of Special Pollution Cleanup, he thought of a question very professionally.
Doesn't this mean that you are cleaning a pool and making the water in this pool clear, but there is a hole where it is connected to the pool next door, and dirty water keeps flowing in, so when will the cleaning end?
"With more and more cracks, Mental Monster and pollution entering the real world will undoubtedly become more and more terrifying."
As the female researcher spoke, she suddenly looked at Lu Xin and said, "But have you ever thought about what is the scariest thing?"
Lu Xin's head changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
His expression suddenly became a little stunned.
Dr. An nodded. "Yes, the most terrifying thing is not how many cracks will appear. But, in terms of pressure characteristics, if the pressure in the abyss is not reduced, then after the first crack appears, there will only be more and more cracks, and the opening will get bigger and bigger."
"It's like a thousand-mile embankment that collapses in an ant nest."
"No one knows whether this 'wall' will suddenly collapse completely one day..."
When she said this, her face became slightly solemn.
"When this wall completely collapses and the abyss completely pollutes reality..."
"What will our world become?"
