I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 481 - 447: No Solution

At that moment,

the wristbands worn by the emergency team suddenly flashed with yellow light.

Everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they quickly calmed down.

Under their perception, all the children and red balloons suddenly disappeared...

The headache, the tentacles, the decapitated team leader—everything returned to normal.

"Hallucinations! Fake, it’s all fake! Stay alert!"

Hallucinations?

Camia’s face turned pale as he realized it wasn’t just a simple hallucination.

Because at the start of the mission, all the school children had been sent home.

But when they had just seen a group of kids in pajamas, there hadn’t been the slightest doubt in their minds, as if it were perfectly normal.

"Captain Camia of the seventh emergency team reporting, Pennywise has methods that affect human perception, making people subconsciously believe and obey."

...

Du Lala’s eyes widened as she stared at the screen where children lay in pools of blood.

"No, what do these emergency teams mean by hallucinations?"

"Lala, I’ve already told you many times, our emergency team is a formidable force. Their wristbands are from Project 135, a tool devised to counter Pennywise. It fortifies the human spirit, stimulating the cerebral cortex into clarity when it receives confusing signals."

Holy moly?

Project 135 is that powerful!

However, it seemed Pennywise was no slouch either, its illusions even deceived ’cameras,’ a kind of physical device.

It just didn’t make any sense.

Considering both Du Lala and Jiang Xiao, information on Project 135 had been prepared early by B2.

Project 135

Name:

"Clearing Stone"

Control Area:

Hua Mountain No. 6 Mysterious Zone

Project Overview:

A black mineral about 0.5 cm in diameter, generally embedded in necklaces or wristbands for use (limited quantity, for emergency team use only).

Upon external stimulation, it can stimulate the cerebral cortex, maintaining a mental enhancement for five minutes after causing irreversible damage.

Project Type: Mental enhancement.

Hazard Level: Pseudo-safe.

Experimental Record: December 12, 2023.

Recorder: Cai Ziming.

After multiple studies, Experiment Specialist Cai Ziming found that wearing the "Clearing Stone" could invigorate people, increase their alertness and perception, much like drinking coffee mixed with Red Bull.

Additionally, considering its not-so-unique effects, he intended to apply it medically and discovered that Project 135 could normalize patients with mental illnesses.

Subsequent modification:

Prohibit medical use!

It was found that normal people wearing Project 135 for extended periods would suffer severe fatigue, and mental patients would completely lose their ego in a short time, becoming insane or committing suicide.

The efficacy of Project 135 is too weak, and its side effects too strong, permanently sealed!

Experimental Record: October 9, 2024. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Recorder: Huang Yusheng.

Experiment Specialist Huang Yusheng restarted the research on Project 135, thinking the last conclusion was too hasty (mainly because his cat had a stress reaction; the cat’s life was in danger).

Through Huang Yusheng’s research,

he found that when his orange cat wore Project 135, the project emitted a yellow glow.

The reason was that his orange cat was under external stress; when Project 135 flashed yellow, his cat broke free from the stress response.

After several verifications, Huang Yusheng discovered that when the user’s brain is under external stress, Project 135 will flash to dispel the effects of the stimulus.

Flashing yellow light: Mild stimulation

Flashing purple light: Severe stimulation

Subsequent supplementation:

Although Project 135 can dispel the brain’s immediate stress injuries, it still causes some irreversible special effects on the brain afterward.

Project 135 is again prohibited from use and will be permanently banned unless special circumstances arise.

"Uh? So, these emergency teams..."

"Don’t worry, they are aware of the consequences of use and the mission is voluntary."

"Then they truly are brave warriors."

Searching his heart, Jiang Xiao felt that he definitely didn’t possess the same level of courage and nobility as the emergency team. He had a wife and child, and he couldn’t dare to sacrifice himself, nor could he.

"No, besides faith, we also provide substantial material compensation."

"Oh, that’s as it should be."

B2 sighed, it seemed that this chosen one hadn’t realized what level of material privileges were being offered.

"Jiang Xiao, do you know how much you earn a day working with us at Qingshan Research Institute?"

"Huh? There’s a salary? I thought I hadn’t lifted a finger yet? Besides, even if I want compensation, I wouldn’t want money; it’s of no use to me."

B2 shook his head and stretched out a hand.

"Five hundred... no, five thousand?"

"No, it’s fifty thousand a day."

?!

Although Jiang Xiao wasn’t short on money, he was still stunned by the salary.

He knew the price levels in the Kaidan world; they were not much different from those on Blue Star.

"You were recruited by Du Lala, and you’re worth the price, while the salaries for the emergency team are a bit lower than yours, but still enough to make countless people fight desperately. Also, if they unfortunately fall in action, we will posthumously award at least a second-class merit based on their combat achievements."

Understood...

Jiang Xiao nodded his head.

This was a soldier’s honor, an honor that money couldn’t buy.

At least second-class merit...

That is to say, even if you took on a mission today and died tomorrow, you’d still receive second-class merit.

If you performed excellently during your service, or completed a few missions, it wouldn’t be hard to earn a first-class merit, would it?

Quite reasonable.

Even if they were up against Pennywise, Jiang Xiao felt there was nothing wrong, it was fair.

Living to receive a first-class merit is not that easy, right?

The three of them talked just like this.

Meanwhile, the emergency team had already surrounded the lonely clown.

Realizing that its illusion had been seen through, the children previously shown through the camera feed had also vanished.

Seeing this, Du Lala and B2 both let out a sigh of relief; confirming it was an illusion was as good as it could get.

"Hehehe~"

With several sinister laughs, a team stepped out from the school’s corridors and classrooms, resolutely positioning themselves in front of Pennywise.

It was them!

The emergency team personnel narrowed their eyes.

They were ordinary comrades who had been placed in the school in advance; they didn’t have Project 135, so they couldn’t resist Pennywise’s psychic illusions.

"Captain, give the order..."

They had hoped to save the lives of their comrades, but the captain’s pupils shrank, and he suddenly noticed that the light on their emergency team wristbands had changed from yellow to purple at some point.

Their brains were under severe stress!

"We can’t drag this out, end the battle quickly!"

"I’m sorry, my fellow compatriots! I’ll come down and drink with you to apologize in a few days!"

’Da-da-da-da...’

The automatic rifles spat out flames, while a few others threw specially made grenades, which could release strong electromagnetic pulses.

That was one of their objectives, to see if the magnetic field could interfere with Pennywise.

At the same time, flamethrowers and gas grenades were lavishly spraying their contents at the target.

"Wahaha..."

The smoke hadn’t cleared yet, but Pennywise’s shrill laughter could be heard from within.

The previous comrades had all fallen to the ground.

But Pennywise remained completely unharmed!

"How is this possible?!"

Everyone’s eyes widened.

No... it didn’t make sense, Pennywise likely didn’t have a strong physical defense.

Wait?

The captain looked down sharply to find that the purple on the wristbands had turned to deep red, even beginning to shift toward black!

"No, It’s also..."

’Boom!’

Before he could speak, the captain’s head exploded instantly.

The warm spray splattered all over the face of Qiqi, who was beside him.
