Paintings of Terror

In the painting, all the consolation and chicken soup are useless, so everyone can't do anything except salute Xuege with their eyes.

Shao Ling was still rational and calm, and instead of wasting time, he brought everyone back to important issues: "Next, let's discuss how to deal with illusions. In fact, as long as there are effective methods, Xuege may not be able to There is a risk of life."

"Yes, if everyone's life is not in danger, we will vote tomorrow." Yu Long said sullenly.

"That's something we need to think about later. Now we're just talking about how to deal with the phantom tonight." Shao Ling took a few pieces of bamboo removed from the bamboo slips and wrote "hearing" and "touch" on them respectively. , "Smell", "Vision" and "Taste" five words, then take out the sense of hearing and touch and set aside first, pick up the sign with the sense of smell, and show it to everyone.

"According to the experience of the previous two nights, if the phantom uses the sense of smell to make a fuss, can everyone imagine what kind of method it will be?" Shao Ling looked at everyone.

Everyone was thinking about it. After a long while, Luo He raised his hand: "The illusion of touch is the most disgusting thing for us. Could the sense of smell also be the most disgusting smell for us? For example, the smell of excrement, the smell of vomit after drinking That kind, anyway, when I smell that kind of smell, I will throw up."

"...That's just to the point of wanting to vomit. Could it be that you want to die when you smell shit?" Wei Dong said, "This illusion is trying to kill us with the smell! I think it's probably the kind that makes Our hallucinogenic smell, for example, we fall into hallucinations as soon as we smell it, thinking that there is a sea of ​​swords and fires everywhere, and there is only one way to go out, and then we can’t help but walk along this road, and then fall into the sea.”

"Then if it's the sense of taste, what kind of trick would it be? For example, let us have the illusion of eating shit in our mouths?" Luo Kuo said.

"...Can you stay away from shit and fart?" Wei Dong was angry, "Has too much money limited your imagination?! Broaden your thinking! Think boldly!"

"I just feel that if the phantom soaks me in a pit of shit and urine, I really dare to jump into the sea and die rather than die in the pit." Luo Kuo whispered BB.

Unexpectedly, Shao Ling nodded after hearing this: "It's not completely unreasonable to say this. Since illusions can read our memories, they naturally know what the most repulsive point in our hearts is. If we prescribe the right medicine, it is easy to break through our hearts. Defend.

"But now we are not guessing what kind of settings the phantom will use to confuse or kill us, but to come up with a way to crack the broken heart defense.

"To put it simply, it's how we make our most vulnerable point invulnerable, and don't give the phantom any chance to take advantage of it."

"Everyone has weaknesses, I think there is no solution to this problem." Yu Long said.

"Then you can only wait to die." Fang Fei replied coldly.

Yu Long frowned and shook his head helplessly, without saying anything.

Shao Ling continued: "To put it bluntly, whether it is hearing, smell or touch, these things are just illusions. It is only because they are too realistic that we often let us enter the scene, so we feel panic, or because our will is not firm. And be bewitched by it. The most important factor here is that the sense of reality is too strong, which makes it difficult for us not to care, and is tempted to make a lot of unreasonable thoughts. I think this is the key to solving the problem. If you want to break the situation, you must find a way to distinguish between illusion and reality."

Seeing that everyone fell into thinking again, Shao Ling stopped speaking, and his eyes swept over the faces of everyone in front of him one by one.

After a long time, feeling that time can no longer be dragged on without any progress, Shao Ling spoke again, like a leader, and began to roll his name: "Doctor Qin, as a doctor, is there any way to make people more concentrated, or What about ways to make the five senses more dull?"

Qin Ci raised his eyes and looked at him: "Interlacing is like a mountain, the problem you mentioned, probably only a psychiatrist can help solve some of it. But in fact, in the process of treating patients with mental illness, the only thing a psychiatrist can do is 'listen ' and 'guidance', but cannot improve people's psychological state in a very short period of time. So I can only disappoint everyone and say: to solve psychological problems, we can only rely on ourselves, but obviously, at present, we cannot Changing the extent of myself. Sorry."

Shao Ling waved his hand for a moment, then turned to look at Zhu Haowen: "Mr. Zhu?"

"The only way I can think of is to rely on myself." Zhu Haowen said indifferently, "No matter what the illusion is, I will remain firm and unshakable."

"Well, that's easier said than done..." Luo Kuo sighed.

"Yeah..." Wei Dong also sighed, "People are emotional animals. As long as there are emotions, they will inevitably be deceived by illusions, just like some people who know that the other party is a liar and go to fight with him with the mentality of fighting fakes and cheating." A liar keeps going around, and in the end it's like being cheated by a liar-this is really hard to avoid, unless you are a hard-hearted person."

Shao Ling directly passed the two of them, and his eyes fell on Mu Yiran's face if he had any substance: "Mr. Mu, I think you should have something to say to everyone."

Mu Yiran raised his eyes calmly.

From this painting to the present, his past brilliance and limelight seem to be completely suppressed by Shao Ling, so that in the eyes of a few newcomers, he is like an existence like a dragon, even if he speaks little in daily life Zhu Haowen sometimes argues with newcomers, but he is offline almost all the time, just standing silently beside Ke Xun, either observing or thinking.

Right now, being called by Shao Ling like a leader treats his subordinates, Mu Yiran didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, but just stated his thoughts calmly as before.

"I don't know if you have seen a movie called "Inception." His opening remarks were such a non-coherent sentence.

"I've seen it!" Luo Wei hurriedly raised his hand.

Others said they had seen it and said they hadn’t. Mu Yiran continued: “The protagonist of the story often goes in and out of the dream world, but because the dream world is too real, it is easy for people to gradually find it difficult to distinguish whether they are in a dream or in the dream world. In reality, his lover died because he couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.

"The situation we are facing now is slightly similar to this story, and the way for the protagonist in the story to overcome this problem is to find a target as a warning.

"The subject chosen by the protagonist is a spinning top. Whenever he begins to doubt whether the world he is in is a dream, he spins the spinning top. If the spinning top keeps spinning, it proves that he is still in the dream world. .

"Because only the spinning top in the dream will continue to spin against the common sense and will not stop, but in the real world, the spinning top will fall down after a short time, this is the method used to distinguish reality from dreams.

"I think we can learn from this method. Each of us finds a warning object for ourselves. When we are haunted by illusions, we use this warning object to remind ourselves. As long as we can try our best to stay in place and not go anywhere , I believe there is a greater possibility of surviving.

"But you need to pay attention to one thing. Don't just find a warning object to make do with it. This warning object must be something that is absolutely alert to yourself. It can serve as a blow to the head and make you firm in your beliefs. We also need to make one for ourselves. For psychological construction, tell yourself that as long as you see or touch the warning object, you must firmly believe that what is around you at this moment is an illusion.

"The only way to fight against psychological attacks and spiritual blows is to have a solid psychological defense and a firm spiritual will-this is just my suggestion."

After Mu Yiran finished speaking, he stopped, and the few newcomers in front of him all looked at him straight.

"Can the nonsense in the movie be used here?" Yu Long frowned, "You really don't take life and death seriously!"

"We really don't value life and death as much as you do on this point." Ke Xun said lightly, "Here is the suggestion, whether you want to adopt it or not is up to you. By the way, this is not a nonsense fabricated by the movie out of thin air, but a kind of psychology. An effective method of suggestion is essential in us athletes, and it is also very useful."

"If you need a basis in reality, you can learn about the 'Restriction Ring' or the 'Restriction Bracelet'," Mu Yiran continued, "It is a psychological warning for people who are not firm in their will or difficult to control their emotions. Whenever the will is shaken or the emotions are about to lose control, the parties will be reminded of the restriction when they see the restriction ring or bracelet on their hands, or psychological hints, and realize that they need to control their mental state, which is similar to the function of the spinning top. I repeat, illusions are attacks on our psyche and spirit, and psychological problems can only be solved psychologically."

Ke Xun said indifferently: "So don't take ignorance as nonsense, cherish life and please cherish your IQ at the same time."

Mu Yiran said gracefully, "Perhaps you can consider owning a restraint bracelet, which is very effective in controlling words and deeds."

Ke Xun: "I have no other suggestions."

Mu Yiran: "That's all."

Yu Long: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Weidong: ...Look, the gays are ganging up on bullying.

Shao Ling looked at Mu Yiran for a while, and said: "This is indeed a good idea, but if the phantoms of the three senses are superimposed, its unbearable degree will also be superimposed, making it difficult for us to fight with willpower. what to do?"

Mu Yiran looked at him indifferently: "Then the biggest challenge we have to face will no longer be the illusion, but will come from other companions—at that moment, whoever has weak willpower will be eliminated, and the only way is to hold on."

"But as far as I know," Shao Ling smiled, looking into Mu Yiran's eyes, "Doctor Qin once told us about the painting "Humanity". An experiment in sensory deprivation, the opposite of what is happening in this painting.

"At that time, your coping method was to actively cause fainting, and after losing consciousness, you would not be able to experience the pain of being deprived of your senses.

"Then, in this opposite painting, can we also try the same method? After losing consciousness, the sensitivity of various sensory sensations will be reduced, and we may be able to avoid a catastrophe. What do you mean? "

"If the phantom doesn't cause us strong pain or discomfort, this method may be a try." Mu Yiran said calmly, "But we need to consider a problem. When a person goes from a coma to a waking state, it is more difficult than always If we stay awake, we are more likely to be deceived and deceived. We must consider the possibility of being awakened from a coma by illusions. Can we face the illusions in time when we wake up halfway? Can we concentrate on fighting emergencies in time? I don't think it's better to be on the alert all the time."

"So, what if we combine the fainting method and the target method?" Shao Ling continued to look at Mu Yiran, "In case of being awakened from a faint, you should immediately use the target to warn yourself. It is more effective and safer than suffering from hallucinations from beginning to end.

"After all, the confrontation from the beginning to the end will cause a huge mental pressure to accumulate prematurely, and it will also cause a sense of fatigue prematurely. If you wake up halfway, at least your mental strength is still abundant, which is equivalent to shortening the time to endure torture. Successfully chances are also greater.

"I wonder if you have any thoughts and suggestions on this?"

This time, he no longer asked Mu Yiran, but turned his attention to other people.

"I agree with your approach." Yu Long was the first to express his opinion, apparently he trusted Shao Ling more as the "controller" of the overall situation.

"Then there is nothing left to ask," Wei Dong said, "Everyone can choose the method they want to use."

Everyone had no objection, and got up and went out to find the warning objects that were applicable to them.

"Which method do you choose?" Wei Dong asked Luo Xun who was sitting next to him.

Luo Kuo thought for a long time, and said with a sad face: "Although I believe in brother-in-law's method more, I think these two methods have to be different from person to person. People who are not firm like me feel that there is no way to survive the whole scene." , so I choose brother Shao's method, and then I want to add another protective measure..."
