152. Mystics
As Elwood looked at Abbas's body, he felt his nausea and nausea getting more and more serious. When he looked away, he could not recall the specific appearance of the body that left such a psychological shadow on him.
Maybe it was the mercy of the Creator that allowed his brain to forget this horrific nightmare, or maybe his brain was unable to fully understand and remember this crazy creation.
In order to maintain his rationality, he looked away at the corpse for less than ten seconds. He was afraid that if he continued to look at it, he would retch directly.
There was a determined police officer who vomited on the spot because he looked at this twisted dark painting for about two seconds, and his physical condition immediately declined sharply. Now he is still lying on the bed at home, suffering from fever and nightmares.
.
But he was still glad that he could stay away from the crime scene and insisted that he would not handle any matters related to this case.
The old police chief understood very well and gave him a long vacation. The weathered old man knew how crazy the world was, and so did Elwood. The various strange events he encountered during his years as a police detective gradually made him deviate.
The way we understand the world has gradually reduced our trust in science.
So during this period of time, he diverted his attention away from the body and put it on the other two.
The truth he got surprised him.
He almost thought that Hevin and Kelly were the principal and accomplices in this case.
Because although the disgust and disgust shown by the two of them were strong, they were able to accept this horrific and crazy scene and kept their eyes on the corpse for a long time.
The female student named Kelly squinted her eyes for a while, then opened them again as if she had adapted, and looked at the overall structure of the corpse.
Elwood knew that she would not be mistaken. She was not pretending to cast her gaze, but was seriously observing all the evil details of the corpse and what the murderer did to it: playing with human organs without any respect.
, happily using life as a material for expression, the way flesh and blood are spliced together, and the force impact on the skull.
She was watching, and she didn't vomit, didn't go crazy, and didn't let out hysterical wails.
She just looked at it, as if these things were commonplace in her life, and they were just ordinary works of a certain artist.
Kelly doesn't like this work. Of course, this is in line with normal human reason.
But apart from not liking it, she didn't seem to have been too much of an unbearable impact.
No! The impact was very strong, but it was probably just the level of ordinary college students seeing the works of those crazy and blasphemous painters in the 17th century, and it was completely unworthy of this corpse.
Even Carmela's "The Feast" or Edward's "The Nest in the Bloody Sac", these famous and blasphemous paintings, artworks that hover around the moral bottom line, can only be seen after seeing this corpse.
Feeling ashamed of oneself.
In comparison, the craziest works that humans can imagine and create are nothing more than children's tricks.
It's as if the creator's brain is not limited to material categories. His eyes can see electromagnetic waves of all wavelengths, his ears can hear sounds of all frequencies, and he can experience the ultimate evil beyond human cognition.
It is expressed in a way that humans can barely perceive.
Elwood has always associated this corpse with various works of art, not without reason. After seeing this scene, those crazy paintings can only be regarded as works of art, because this thing-no matter
Called corpses or works, they all have artistic values that transcend the times and human bottom lines. They are not just pure horror and disgusting, but also carry the murderer's deformed aesthetic appeal.
My king protects you, why does this kind of thing appear in England?
Miss Kelly, if she is not the creator of this scene, then Elwood hopes that he will not have any communication with her, because her mind is definitely not within the normal range.
The other man's expression made Elwood suspect many times that he was the murderer himself.
Because Elwood could see that although there was so-called disgust and disgust on Professor Hewen's face, it was just a disguise.
It was a polite expression specially shown to mortals like them to prevent them from being regarded as evil people.
Elwood didn't find any flaws in Hevin's expression itself. His position was perfect. Intuition was his ultimate criterion for judging things.
Hewendrenger, why can't he feel disgusted? Could it be that he, like the creator, has a way of understanding and cognitive structure that surpasses humans, so such a picture cannot have any impact on him?
Elwood almost sneered, because this proved that Hevendrenger had a similar way of thinking to the prisoner. According to common sense, he was almost the most suspect.
However, in addition to the false expression, he could also see more emotions deep in his heart: real disgust, but not due to the posture of the corpse, but for reasons he could not understand;
The anger seemed to be due to being offended. Did the murderer have a personal grudge against Hwendelenge so he deliberately imitated the blood sacrifice method described in his book? And this offended the professor?
Elwood noticed that Hevin seemed to have completed the inspection and simply said the name of the blood sacrifice method.
The detective asked:
"Ouroboros? What is ouroboros?"
Hewen said:
"An ancient worship. This kind of worship is not like the primitive belief of barbarian tribes, but appears more among the upper classes of the social class. Worshipers believe that the Ouroboros symbolizes reincarnation, all things, and the specific image of perfection, and
It is also believed to bring a sense of immortality to its worshipers.
"The lower class generally don't think about things related to eternal life. They usually focus on more practical things, such as the satisfaction of desires.
"There are many interpretations of the immortality part of the Ouroboros ritual, such as using the body of others to extend life, rebirth of the soul, and even methods of rejuvenating one's youth by shedding one's skin over and over again."
The detective asked:
"Do you think the murderer intended to pursue eternal life in this way?"
Hevin glanced at Elwood in surprise, because he spoke in a tone as if immortality could really be achieved through blood sacrifice.
Although this can indeed be done.
Hewen said curiously:
"Is Detective Elwood a mystic?"
“What exactly does a mystic mean?”
Hevin explained:
“Roughly speaking, they are people who believe that various unnatural and unscientific phenomena and life are real even though they have not been able to witness or understand weird things with their own eyes.”
The detective nodded:
"Then I may be considered a half-mystic. I believe in gods, I believe in ghosts, I believe in hell, and I believe that the ruler of this world may not be human beings themselves. But I still adhere to reason and have a deep understanding of our modern science.
Be confident.”
