Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

"Hey, hey... this is really bad..."

When Professor Yin Zhengliang left the Morgan Furniture Factory with a solemn expression, and returned to the town to investigate more families who might also be affected, Yang Qiu, who was in Creek City, had already thought of something very bad by watching Professor Yin's investigation. thing.

At this moment, Yang Qiu looked no less relaxed than Professor Yin who was at the investigation site.

Interfering with someone's cognition of a specific thing within a limited period of time is actually not as difficult as people imagine... In fact, some people who don't understand spiritual magic can do it.

For example, confining a group of people in a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed environment, using methods such as booing, creating momentum, defrauding, and intimidating to make these people think that a pile of modern industrial waste is actually a priceless treasure. Spending a lot of money in frenzied buying, emptying your pockets and feeling that you have taken advantage of it-this is the most common short-term cognitive intervention that can be done without knowing spiritual magic.

Another example... Let a man or woman in the courtship period think that a carefully packaged scumbag is the spouse of this life, and desperately pray for love from the scumbag—this is also a kind of cognitive interference, only for specific Individual, and the limitation period will be relatively long.

Another example... Relying on the physical isolation of the region, by smearing, demonizing, and depersonalizing a group of people to create a cognitive barrier for another group of people that "the people in XX are all XXX, and they are not from my clan", The so-called cultural consensus and social consensus are artificially created, allowing a group of civilized people who claim to be civilized to acquiesce and even support the black slave trade...etc.

Of course, this kind of cognitive interference imposed on people by shaping the environment usually only takes effect on people who are relatively weak in spirit and not firm in will; A powerful external force exerts its influence.

The most common external interference with cognition is spiritual magic.Like the Lich Enwei, he will quietly give spiritual hints to those who have seen his true face, and distort others' perception of his appearance, so that those who have clearly seen him can't recall his appearance after parting.

Aggressive mental cues will be alerted, and this kind of interference that only quietly distorts a small part of cognition will be very difficult to detect-Yang Qiu, who was once tricked, hadn't noticed this at all before, and he still borrowed It was only when Hal saw Enwei again that he realized that this guy had played such a trick.

Yang Qiu has no objection to this kind of experience in which his self-knowledge has been interfered with unknowingly... After all, Enwei has suffered a lot from his appearance. In addition to being a ruthless person himself, there were also reasons why his appearance caused trouble and his body was destroyed.

But the level that a high-level spellcaster can do is just like this - it can only distort a specific person's cognition of a specific thing, and the effect will not be so strong that it is difficult to remove it; for example, Enwei's recognition Without knowledge interference, as long as there is direct or indirect contact with him again, it will be cracked.

This is the reason why the previous generation of night watchmen in Creek City were so difficult to characterize "Incident 063".

Xinxili Town is not a closed town, this town has a normal flow of people; and these people (farmers, passers-by, tax officials) who normally enter and leave Xinxili Town did not show the slightest abnormality, and their lives are also different. was not affected in any way.

The only magistrate, Wesford Aubrey, who broke the peace, couldn't explain the situation himself, and could only describe his own feelings with vague words like "terrible".

What's worse, the investigators who followed up with the investigation also encountered the same problem as the sheriff... Their cognition will be interfered by some unknown force lurking in New Sealy Town, resulting in "New Sealy Town's unrest" existence of any anomalies” perception.

After three failed investigations, the night watchman could only vaguely conclude that some kind of power lurking in New Sealy Town would carry out cognitive interference with those who "know that there is a crisis lurking in this town"; The harm is minor.

But while less harmful, far less harmful than openly operating "wild sects" ... the danger is still there.

The reason is simple—it can carry out specific interventions on a large scale and on a large scale to people with a certain knowledge, and the intervention will be strengthened (Westford completely forgot about the original anxiety after two years), and the limitation period is still short. Very long (no one can tell how many years the abnormal situation in Xinxili Town has been secretly going on)... This is definitely not something that humans can do.

The previous generation of night watchmen in Creek City did not have conclusive evidence to prove how much damage the town of New Cili had suffered, but they still marked the incident file with the word suspected disaster... This judgment is not wrong.

At this moment, by observing Professor Yin Zhengliang's investigation, Yang Qiu can already be 100% sure - the word "suspected" can be removed.

This is calamity.

It's still very dangerous... a first-level disaster!

New Sealy Town is the lair of Mrs. Carter, the upper-level cadre of the "Whisperers Sect". No wild sect dares to operate in this place, and there is no possibility of incidents caused by the fourth-level and third-level disasters.

The possibility of a second-level disaster is not very high... Xinxili Town is densely populated. If an unstable time-space rift suddenly appeared and the Void Demon invaded, it would have caused a big problem.

The possibility of taboo-type sealed items appearing is not high. After all, this thing is just a dead thing, and it does not have the flexibility to filter the targets of the intervention. The group targeted by the sealed item and the non-targeted group are involved in the sealed item. The end of the incident is all a dead end.

No one enshrines, sacrifices, summons, a certain powerful force born naturally or for some reason, has the instinctive consciousness to avoid the risk of exposure and hide its own sense of existence-this can only be explained as the will of an ancient god Part of it came to the town of Xinxili.

It can be confirmed that it is only a part of the will of an ancient god and not the will of the ancient god, because...the will of an ancient god really came, and the Rhineland Kingdom has already been playing with it.

Yang Qiu's own soul has been fused with a tentacles of an unknown ancient god, and he knows how outrageous this fucking thing is - if he failed to carry it over and was fused by that tentacles, then There is no such thing as a nightmare butcher. There will only be a lunatic who claims to be an envoy of God, who will turn the Rhine Kingdom into scorched earth in half a year or less, and then either fight with the Church of Gold Coins or the Church of Storms, and finally Eliminated by the Church at great cost.

This so-called divine creature that has been lost in the void for tens of thousands of years has no reason at all, and only has different degrees of madness—even the least crazy one is as good as a hot one when it comes to destroying countries and cities. The bear children who flush the ant nest with water are generally the same.

It is impossible to expect players to eliminate this kind of disgusting stuff, Yang Qiu can only do it himself.

The problem is... If Yang Qiu rashly enters the area of ​​Xinxili Town, it may cause the stress reaction of that ghost.

There is an unknown ancient god in his soul, which cannot be hidden, especially in the face of those divine creatures who are also in the upper dimension.

Yang Qiu can only wait patiently, waiting for Professor Yin Zhengliang, who personally played the game, or maybe any other player, to find a more specific and clearer goal...

"At times like this... even I can't help but look forward to the so-called metaphysics taking effect."

Turning his attention away from Professor Yin Zhengliang, who was aimlessly investigating in the town, and turning to the group of players in the Carter Forest Farm, Yang Qiu muttered to himself.

Only hard work will win this player is not willing to give up "063 Number Mission" and return to Xinxili Town to investigate again. Of course, Yang Qiu encourages this kind of quality player behavior--compared with the stuck link, he went to the forum to scold the dog for planning. Those who designed the task chain by JIO are still more cute with this kind of hard-headed players.

At this moment, Aipin will win and his little friends are still patiently lying on the top of the hill of the forest farm, squatting and guarding the two salted fish parties in the depression below.

Of course, Yang Qiu has never done such a thing as arranging special lucky points for player accounts... This world is not a game after all, writing a few lines of code to increase a player's treasure drop rate can't be done even if Yang Qiu wants to do it.

The "characteristic" of the fisherman who can catch everything, but can't catch fish, is also a mystery to Yang Qiu...

As soon as Yang Qiu turned his mind to the anchor point of the player Wolong in the Beibu Gulf, he "saw" something outrageous from the player's field of vision...

"?!"

"Staring" from the air for a while at the strange thing that appeared in Wolong's field of vision in the Beibu Gulf, Yang Qiu changed his mind to squatting behind and seeing the "panoramic view" of the two anglers before he could win. .

With the vision of fighting hard to win, Yang Qiu finally saw the thing in front of the two fishermen...

It seemed to be the upper body of a... "person".

Looking at it from the perspective of hard work, you can win. The crouching dragon and phoenix young fishermen sitting cross-legged by the river are right in front of and to the right. There is a "person" floating in the water, looking at the two fishermen curiously.

The reason the "person" has to be in double quotes is... this thing just looks like a humanoid, but it's definitely not a human, not even a ghost.

The head of "it" looks like a white mold that was barely made out of a rough head shape when using a computer for 3D modeling. There are a pair of ET-like deep black eyes in the eye sockets. It has no ears, nose, nose, or neck. .

That's right, there is no neck - the white model's head is just suspended above the shoulders.

Strictly speaking, the shoulder part does not exist, it is just a layer of floating, black cloth-like thing covering an invisible object, and a long strip similar to the torso is pulled out from under it.

The player is the reflection of the soul projected from across the plane. I don’t know how many ghosts and ghost-type spirit monsters have been killed. There is no such thing as not being able to see ghosts—since this thing is floating on the water in such a big way Staring at the two fishing guys, and Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Hatchling even monitored their hard work to win a few, but there was no response, which proved that from the player's own point of view, this thing is indeed invisible.

It is confirmed that this thing is not an entity, nor is it an energy aggregate (spiritual body)... Yang Qiu couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"Although I did look forward to studying metaphysics—but it's too metaphysics!!"
