Chapter 170: Stockholm Syndrome
On the sea, Akeris looked at Li Fanzhi and his party. He followed Helina's gaze and stared at Ji Tianci, could it be that this weak transcendent made Helina so afraid?
Akeris's eyes narrowed, and he raised the Thunder Staff in his hand again.
"What do you want to do!!
Li Fanzhi was furious when he saw Akeris's movements. He was full of grief and indignation, and thought to himself, his group wouldn't really die here, right?
I only blame myself for having too many treasures on my group, and my own strength is too weak. In this world of the jungle, if you don't hide yourself well, you will only attract "bandits" to steal.
Lu Manwen was still unconscious, and after dripping blood, her heart beat a little stronger, but she still looked uncertain.
Ji Tianci turned his head, the monstrous anger rose, his eyes became blood-red, and the already cloudy sky became a little gloomy again.
He picked up the Mo Evil Sword and protected Lu Manwen behind him, facing Acreus, as if he wanted to fight with him.
Akeris stared at the red sword in Ji Tianci's hand, his eyes full of greed and excitement. This should be the Mo Evil Sword that Li Fanzhi said before, and it is indeed a sword.
And Helina beside him saw Ji Tianci with red eyes, and she trembled with fright, and she could no longer hold the spear in her hand.
With a "plop", the spear fell into the sea.
"Kill him!" Ji Tianci gritted his teeth and said three words.
Li Fanzhi beside him was taken aback, but the other party had an artifact S-level transcendent, what could he use to kill? If he can survive three moves without dying, he can take it out and brag, how can he have the idea of killing the other party.
Li Fanzhi thought that Ji Tianci said this to him, but he didn't want to, after Ji Tianci finished speaking, Helina raised her shield, but this shield was aimed at Acreus.
Acreus looked at Herina in surprise, and then at the shield on her left arm. I saw that the head of the snake-haired beauty in the center of the shield seemed to come to life, and the eyes of the avatar shot two white rays of light, shining on the head of Acrius.
Akris was stunned for a moment, and suddenly froze, not moving.
Ji Tianci didn't hesitate, the human sword was united, and he stabbed straight towards Acreus.
The sea surface seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, Ji Tianci turned sideways and connected with the Mo Evil Sword, floating on the sea and moving forward quickly, and in an instant he was about to stab Acreus.
Li Fanzhi's jaw was about to fall, and the courage from Ji Tianci wanted to fight against the S-level powerhouse.
"Zizi ......"
This is not the sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh, as soon as the Mo Evil Sword touched the clothes of Acreus, Ji Tianci felt a strong resistance blocking him, and it was difficult for the Mo Evil Sword to move forward half an inch.
Akeris moved again, and he slowly looked back at Ji Tianci, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Suddenly, Ji Tianci felt an unimaginably powerful repulsion and pushed himself back.
As if he was hit by a giant hammer in the chest, Ji Tianci flew back upside down at a faster speed, flying farther away, and Li Fanzhi didn't have time to catch him.
"Aren't you afraid that Jiuyou will trouble you?" Li Fanzhi looked at Acres angrily.
"You did it first. Akeris replied gloomily.
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Helina, he didn't understand why Helina was attacking him, and he was still using the "Medusa gaze", which was a big killer move of the "Athena's shield".
Could it be that she was seduced by the young man just now?
Akris was "petrified" for a few seconds, and although he was not completely unable to move, he also had a feeling of "powerlessness".
He didn't dare to look at Helina's shield again, and the thunder staff in his right hand shot out a bolt of lightning and slashed at Helina's shield, sending her and her shield flying.
Akris thought that Helina was "bewitched" and would "wake up" after a while, but this was not the case with Helina, and her situation was worse.
Helina's soul was afraid of Ji Tianci, and even if Ji Tianci was a weak mortal, she would still be afraid. She couldn't disobey Ji Tianci's will, and became a slave.
What Helina is good at is "soul attack", which is different from Li Fanzhi's "Qingming Riverside Map", Li Fanzhi's artifact is to create an illusion, similar to a formation. And Helina is a direct violation of people's earth spirits and enslavement of people.
She has an indomitable will, like a strong temple. But once this will is destroyed, she herself will be completely enslaved.
This is even more terrible than the "Stockholm syndrome".
[Stockholm syndrome was proposed in the 70s of the last century, about two robbers who attempted to rob the largest bank in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, after a failed attempt, held four bank employees hostage, and ended after a 130-hour standoff between the police and the gangsters, because the gangsters gave up.
Yet months after the incident, the four bank employees who had been held hostage still showed pity for their captors, refusing to charge them in court and even raising funds for their legal defense. They all showed that they did not hate the gangsters, expressed their gratitude to the gangsters for their care instead of harming them, and took a hostile attitude towards the police.
What's more, one of the female staff members of the hostages fell in love with one of the robbers and was engaged to him while serving his sentence. The two robbers took hostages for six days, during which time they threatened the lives of their captives, but at times showed mercy. In an unexpected psychological twist, the four hostages resist the government's efforts to rescue them.
This kind of victim's weakness of "loving" and succumbing to tyranny is called "Stockholm Mental Syndrome".
Later, researchers also found that this symptom is common in a variety of settings, from concentration camp inmates, prisoners of war, battered women, and victims, to Stockholm syndrome.
In university military training, the relationship between instructors and military trainees cannot be called Stockholm syndrome, because the environment is different. Although military trainees also have attachment to the instructors who have "abused" them, this level of emotion is much weaker than that of Stockholm syndrome.
Generally speaking, the formation of Stockholm syndrome goes through four major psychological processes: fear, fear, compassion, and help.
Fear, Ji Tianci instantly turned Helina's "temple" into a "hell", which made her feel deep fear.
Afraid, Ji Tianci let countless corpses attack Helina, making her feel the fear that she can't forget in this life.
Sympathy refers to the fact that the perpetrator has been with the perpetrator for a long time and has not been "directly" harmed, and the perpetrator gives the victim a favor, and the victim also believes that the perpetrator has no choice but to do so, and then sympathy will arise. Helina felt that she had spent a long time in "hell", but she did not die, it was Ji Tianci who finally let the corpses stop. And Helina also understood that he was going to murder Ji Tianci first, and Ji Tianci resisted, so he had to do it as a last resort.
"Help" refers to the victim's inner desire to help the perpetrator. Deep down, Helina also wanted to help Ji Tianci, and she could even betray the Temple of the Gods and fight against Elder Acrius.
However, unlike Stockholm Syndrome, Helina also believes that Ji Tianci is an "ancient god", a powerful god, an invincible god, and a feared god, and her own will can never resist the will of God.
Herina, who was knocked away, was not physically harmed, she adjusted her posture in the air, and the spear of the "pseudo-artifact" that sank to the bottom of the sea shot at her hand again.
Helina caught the spear and raised it above her head, her shield in front of her, and descended from the sky at a rapid pace, with lightning and gloomy sky, she really looked like a goddess of war. It's just that the target of this goddess's attack is "her own people".
Li Fanzhi didn't know what happened between Ji Tianci and Helina before, he looked at the sky and muttered, "This girl is crazy, right?"
