Experiment record: October 12, 2023.
Recorder: Zhan Zhao.
After numerous studies, experimental specialist Zhan Zhao discovered that the sound of the [Hypnotic Recorder] could induce lethargy, but at the same time, it had an extremely absurd hypnotic effect.
However, this flute is undoubtedly the best tool for interrogating criminals.
Jiang Xiao:
So there are still risks involved.
However, compared to the "irreversible" damage from the Clarity Stone, the flute's effects of emotional confusion and temporary amnesia are undoubtedly much milder.
"Our main goal is to etch important information about Pennywise into your memory, including, but not limited to, portraying him as your mortal enemy."
Jiang Xiao nodded, indicating that he could accept it. "Come on."
The researchers busied themselves preparing various auxiliary instruments.
After all, the person in front of them was not a criminal, so they naturally wanted to minimize or even eliminate the side effects on Jiang Xiao as much as possible.
Jiang Xiao sat in a chair, closed his eyes, and waited for Project 88 to start.
Du Lala stood to the side, feeling somewhat uneasy.
She also knew that if Project 88 succeeded, Jiang Xiao would become the key to defeating Pennywise.
But if it fails, the consequences are unpredictable.
The atmosphere in the laboratory became tense, and all eyes were focused on Jiang Xiao.
He felt as if he had entered another world, waiting for the power of hypnosis to awaken the courage and determination deep within him.
A young man wearing glasses, clutching a strangely shaped vertical flute tightly in his hand, slowly approached Jiang Xiao.
His movements were both cautious and filled with an indescribable solemnity.
As he approached, the other researchers in the lab left the room, leaving only him, Jiang Xiao, and Du Lala standing nervously to the side.
Of course, Du Lala wore professional noise-canceling earmuffs.
The young man stood still, his glasses gleaming seriously under the light.
He took a deep breath and then spoke gently to Jiang Xiao, who had her eyes closed.
"Get ready, I'm about to start playing."
Jiang Xiao nodded, indicating that he was ready.
Although his heart began to race, he tried to remain calm and immerse himself in the experience to come.
With a soft cough from the young man, a strange yet beautiful flute melody suddenly filled the air.
Jiang Xiao let out a soft "hmm".
The music was completely different from the "unpleasant and jarring" description in the document; instead, it possessed an indescribable magic.
Jiang Xiao felt it was gentle and melodious, like a light breeze drifting on the river at night, or a mysterious melody coming from the distant starry sky.
Jiang Xiao's slightly furrowed brows began to relax. He felt himself being enveloped by the beautiful music, and his consciousness began to blur, as if he were slowly sinking into a warm dream.
The flute music continued to flow, like living spirits leaping around Jiang Xiao's ears and gently brushing against his memories.
He touched those deeply buried fragments related to Pennywise. These memories began to become clear, forming vivid imprints in his mind.
As time went on, the flute sound gradually intensified, becoming deeper and more powerful.
Jiang Xiao felt his consciousness being drawn by an irresistible force, his thoughts fixed on key pieces of information about Pennywise.
That terrifying image became clearer and clearer in his mind, as if it had become an unshakable nemesis in his life.
The flute music finally reached its climax, then gradually faded away, eventually disappearing into the air.
The young man stopped playing and gently placed the recorder aside.
Jiang Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a new light shining in them.
"How are you?" the man asked with concern.
Jiang Xiao slowly stood up, his expression resolute, as if he had just undergone a spiritual baptism.

Jiang Xiao's voice carried an unprecedented resolve.
“Pennywise, I will never forget.”
Du Lala looked at Jiang Xiao, and her anxiety gradually turned into relief.
It seems that Project 88's spiritual imprint has been successfully established, and Jiang Xiao is ready to face Pennywise once again.
Du Lala's voice carried a hint of nervousness as she walked over to Jiang Xiao and asked with concern.
"How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, trying to feel his body.
His mind was clear and his memory sharp, but there were indeed some subtle changes coursing through his body, like an undercurrent quietly surging in his blood.
"I'm a little... a little dizzy."
Jiang Xiao said, his voice was calm, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
The researchers sprang into action, conducting a series of complex tests on Jiang Xiao.
The instrument's pointers twitched, data flowed on the screen, and everyone was intently observing the results.
During the test, some fragmented images suddenly flashed through Jiang Xiao's mind. These memory fragments were related to Pennywise; they were new and something he had never experienced before.
To be honest, Jiang Xiao was indeed surprised and confused, wondering where these memories came from.
Even though it was the first time we met, it felt like meeting an old friend.
"Hiss, something doesn't seem right."
Besides feeling familiar with him, Jiang Xiao even developed a sense of mutual respect and admiration for Pennywise, as if they were evenly matched rivals.
It seems that I and Pennywise are the same kind of people?
Of course, the majority of people still harbored feelings of "hatred" towards Pennywise.
Du Lala noticed Jiang Xiao's unusual behavior. She quickly exchanged glances with the researchers and then began to discuss it in hushed tones.
They analyzed the potential impact of these new memory fragments on Jiang Xiao's mental state and considered whether further psychological counseling was necessary.
But Jiang Xiao didn't seem to want to stay here any longer; his eyes were firm and his tone revealed urgency.
"We don't have time, we have to act."
Du Lala tried to persuade him: "Jiang Xiao, you need to rest, at least to make sure that there are no problems with your physical and mental state."
The researchers echoed, "Yes, we can't take the risk; your mental state may be unstable right now."
Jiang Xiao remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded, agreeing to their suggestion.
"Okay, I'll rest here for a while, but only for a short time."
Du Lala and the researchers breathed a sigh of relief. They prepared a quiet lounge for Jiang Xiao to observe and rest there, to ensure he was in the best possible condition to face the impending fear.
Jiang Xiao lay on the bed in the lounge, closed his eyes, but his heart was not at peace.
The image of Pennywise kept flashing through his mind; He seemed to be his nemesis, and killing Him was his mission.
Just as Jiang Xiao stepped out of the lounge, a series of hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
His heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable intuition told him that this was no coincidence.
“Jiang Xiao!” B2’s voice was tense and anxious, his face pale, as if he had just seen a ghost: “Pennywise, He… He has appeared.”
Jiang Xiao's gaze froze instantly, all his fatigue and dizziness replaced by a surge of rage.
This anger came out of nowhere; he wanted to kill Pennywise the moment he heard the name!
"where is it?"
His voice was deep and cold, filled with an undeniable authority.
"Children's Health Care Center".
B2 was panting, clearly having come all the way at breakneck speed.
"We didn't expect Him to act so quickly this time. We must act immediately; the situation is extremely critical!"
They rushed out of the laboratory and sped towards the pediatric health center.
Even as he was about to face Pennywise, Jiang Xiao felt a strange calmness in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before, as if everything was under his control.
The entrance to the pediatric health center had been sealed off by the emergency response team, and the cries of children and the terrified screams of parents could be heard from the crowd.
It seems this incident has escalated significantly, even affecting ordinary people.
Jiang Xiao's eyes turned cold. He pushed through the crowd and quickly approached the health center building.
Upon seeing this, the emergency response team quickly made way for him, knowing that this man was their only hope.
The situation inside the building was worse than expected. The corridors were filled with a nauseating stench, and the walls were covered with black tentacles that seemed to be searching for something.
