Chapter 89: 5. Sanity value

   Chapter 89 Five. Sanity

   "From what they brought back that night."

  Joel added, the eyes on the hooked nose appeared to examine again, trying to see something from Lu Li's face.

   "What did you bring back?" Lu Li was thoughtful.

  Valentan was about to say something, but Joel raised his hand to stop him, his tone was stern: "If he doesn't know and you say that, you're hurting him."

   This sentence made Lu Li think of the door: "Why do you say that."

"You do not know?"

  Lu Li said truthfully, "It's been less than half a month since I became an exorcist."

   This made Joel frown slightly. In fact, the first time he saw Lu Li, he thought that Lu Li would be a good exorcist: "Who is your guide."

   may refer to the person who taught Lu Li.

  Lu Li said a name: "Hades, he helped me a lot."

   "Hades... This guy. You must have been defrauded of a lot of money by him." Surprisingly, Joel knew Hades, even the exorcist who had money in his mind. "Then has he told you that knowing too much is not a good thing?"

  Lu Li nodded: "He reminded me to remember that the more I know, the faster I die."

   Curious people don't live long -- at least for them.

   "So." Joel spread his hands. "If you want to know, I can tell you, because I was sent to Watch Town to help them solve this matter. But you are ready to lower your Sanity. Do you know more details?"

   "Sanity?"

  Lu Li noticed that this special word sounds like a certain threshold that affects mental health.

   "You don't know? Oh, I almost forgot, that guy Hades is not qualified to have access to this kind of information." Joel shook his head, staring at Lu Li with brown eyes and said, "So I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

  Lu Li wanted to know.

   Sanity seems to be somehow related to doors. Knowing Sanity might give him a side view of the mechanics of the door.

   "What if I'm willing to help you?" Lu Lei said.

  Joel shook his head slightly, rejecting Lu Li's proposal: "I'm sorry, you can't help with this—"

"I have contacted Richard, and if he hadn't run very fast, I would have dealt with him." Lu Li interrupted Joel's words, his voice was still steady, without a trace of eagerness to know the truth: "I think this is my advantage."

  Joel and Valentine looked at each other, the former rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

   "Well, like you said, we can try." Joel raised his head and agreed with Lu Li. "I'll tell you Sanity, and you'll go see those people with us later and help as much as you can."

   "This doesn't seem to conform to the rules." Valentine suddenly said, not wanting to let an outsider from Lu Li get involved.

  Joel sneered and leaned back in the chair: "He is helping your subordinates and helping you not to fall from this position. Are you still concerned about the **** rules at this time?"

  Valentan's face changed for a while, and finally a twilight appeared: "You are right."

   "Now I'm going to tell our Mr. Exorcist what sanity is, Deputy Valentine, please leave for a while."

   Valentine was stunned: "Even me..."

  Joel spread his palms: "If Sanity points are harmless, why don't we tell everyone?"

  Valentin couldn't refute this sentence, he gritted his teeth, left his seat, and walked out of the office.

  Only Lu Li and Joel were left in the office.

  Joel looked away from the door and landed on Lu Li: "Are you sure you still want to know?"

   "Do I look like I want to leave my seat?" Lu Li asked back.

  Joel stared at Lu Li for a long time, and said slowly, "A person like you won't live too long."

   is not a malevolent curse, but a statement of a fact.

   "Better than dying without knowing it."

   Lu Li replied to this sentence, which also seemed to confirm this sentence.

  Joel smiled and quickly moved away. He sat up straight, with a solemn look on his face: "Listen, I have to remind you of some things first. When you know your sanity, you will inevitably set foot in the real area of ​​the world. Although we do not prohibit sanity Spread, but everyone who knows sanity is taking a risk. So if you want to let other people know — you first make sure other people want to know, as I did with you.”

"clear."

   Sanity, or Spirit.

   It has been circulated for a long time. It has been so long that the night watchman has not been formed in this world, and that the first generation of the Demon Slayer organization has just been born.

   It originally meant a person’s mental state—and of course it does now.

  Diving, staying in a dark room, fire scene, being frightened, and the death of a loved one will all affect a person's mental state, and the earliest sanity value also refers to these.

   Until people gradually get rid of ignorance, the long-masted sailboat sails away, explores outward, and begins to contact the farther world, the mysterious and grotesque real world.

   But the world at that time was not as dangerous as it is now, and there were only a few people who encountered weirdness, but without exception, most people who came back alive after encountering weirdness showed a kind of madness. If the situation is better, the temperament will change greatly, and it will be full of negative emotions. Slightly less straight out of madness.

   This led the first generation of demon slayer organizations to conduct research. The first to put forward the theory of true sanity value is the first generation of demon slayer: Isaac Einstein.

   He believes that everyone's sanity value is different and will be affected by personality. For example, people who love making friends and people who are indifferent at the same time hear about the death of their friends, and the decrease in Sanity value is not the same.

   Sanity value will be reduced due to negative emotions, and naturally it can also be recovered through positive emotions, such as happiness and joy.

   This is the most basic character composition: the lower the sanity value, the darker the person's character, which is close to unreasonable.

After   Einstein constructed a normal person's sanity value model, he proposed a new theory: continuous and rapid negative emotions in a short period of time will permanently reduce a person's sanity value threshold.

   For example, family members die in a short period of time.

  Einstein applies the new theory on a deeper level, the weirdness that roams the world. Because he found that the sanity of the survivors was approaching the lowest without exception, and even touching them and listening to them would irreversibly reduce their sanity.

   Nobody knows where these weirdnesses come from. Some people say that the evil spirit space is overlapping with this world, and some people say that they were originally there, and it was only human exploration that induced them.

Fifteen years after   sanity theory was proposed, Isaac Einstein produced the first-agent sanity test, which allowed people to visualize their own mental state.

   It is not accurate to say that it is made. Strictly speaking, Einstein used the ability of a special evil spirit to materialize the sanity value.

   That's why someone who knows Sanity needs to take a risk - because it is an existence that reduces Sanity.
