AnalogHorror: Rule Kaidan 4016

Old Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good... I thought you had been a Dormitory Supervisor these past few days... So, being targeted by the Sneering Angel during the day must be because of ’Ashes’."

「’Should be’, ’just’?!」Lin Yi’s eyelids twitched fiercely: "Are there more reasons?"

"These aren’t very important for you right now." Old Mo said, "Let’s go, if we really can’t attract a Sneering Angel with a lantern, we’ll have to spend some time actively hunting one down..."

Lin Yi asked: "The Sneering Angel with a lantern, that’s the Dormitory Supervisor, right?"

Old Mo nodded: "Yes... After the kerosene lamp fails to protect the Dormitory Supervisors, excessive Supernatural Power begins to permeate their status, ultimately causing them to transform into Sneering Angels."

"So the Sneering Angel is also formed from excessive contamination?"

"Don’t just look at the surface, it’s like studying chemistry, the same substance can have completely different reactions under different catalytic conditions."

"The old kerosene lamp...is the catalyst?"

"It’s a metaphor, not all Sneering Angels are born this way, but one of the birthways is after the lamp fails, causing more contamination..."

"The failing old kerosene lamp, does it generate a kind of Supernatural Power different from ’light’, like the dark side of Supernatural Power?"

"I don’t know, interpret it however you want, but anyway, the danger brought by ’using a failing old kerosene lamp’ is more unpredictable than ’having no kerosene lamp at all’."
