Chapter 130: Self-restraint
"Reality benders can only influence what they see, or rather, what they perceive. How can the parts that are beyond cognition, even unaware of them, be changed?"
In a sense, this is true.
It's true that regular Type Greens can't change anything beyond their own understanding, but among the reality benders......
The most important thing is the unconventional individual.
Of course, there is no need to tell Du You.
On the one hand, he really can't do it, and if reality benders can't control their minds, it's a complete disaster, let alone quantify their ability level.
When it comes to other people of the same kind, it's a target.
On the other hand, it's easier to fool around.
Du Zhuo instilled certain concepts in his brother who knew nothing with a serious face: "In the same way, distorting reality will also consume our mental power, if it is applied on a large scale without restriction or the degree of distortion is too strong, be careful that the brain can't withstand the explosion." ”
Du You looked at him in horror: "......" This superpower is too dangerous, isn't it? Isn't there a specific classification? What is the degree of distortion?
"You can feel it for yourself. The person on the other side said, "Do you feel like you're dizzy now?"
He felt it carefully and found that ...... I really feel dizzy! I still have a slight headache!
Du Zhuo continued calmly, "Making life, changing matter, tampering with cognition - these are all things you can do, but they are essentially beyond your ability to bear. The cost of permanent change is much higher than that of temporary change, and if you are not careful, you will also leave permanent mental scars on yourself. So it's best not to change anything permanently, in general...... What's wrong with you?"
Du You hugged his head in a trance, "Ah......? I feel bad. This is...... What's wrong?"
Anyone who looks at this man can see that his spirit is in a state of extreme negativity—that is, on the verge of collapse.
Du Zhuo: "......" You are too into the play!
He had no choice but to swallow more words back into his stomach, got up from the sofa, and walked in front of Du You, his tone was rare gentle, "It's okay, it's just normal sequelae, just sleep, just sleep." ”
He watched as the man lay down on the large couch, his conscious consciousness quickly dissipating—more like a coma than a deep sleep.
Du Zhuo stared at him for a few seconds, confirming that Du You couldn't wake up for a while, and immediately put away all the expressions on his face and communicated with his companion on his mobile phone.
"Well, he's asleep now. ”
"Soon, what did you say to him?"
"It's the ability attrition theory that seems to make sense, and reckless use will cause damage to oneself and so on. ”
"So now he's out of defense? Why don't you just keep him in this way, and save him the trouble in the future. ”
Anesthesia, sedation...... There are countless ways that reality benders want to sleep another person to death.
Du Zhuo looked at this sentence and wavered, but the five-year relationship still prevailed, "Forget it, I'll train slowly after that, anyway, I don't have anything to do now." ”
"It's good if you're happy. ”
They quickly opened up another topic, but Du Zhuo's thoughts involuntarily drifted to Du You.
The set of theories I told Du You before, of course...... It's all a lie!
Mental exhaustion, mental backlash, non-existent.
There's nothing like that in the reality bender's ability system.
For them: the world is as big as the heart.
The difference between permanently changing the world and rewriting reality in a temporary way is that the former requires a more complex and cosmic logic when imagining it—even this can be ignored for some individuals who can rewrite the basic laws of the universe.
Self-restraint is the only long-term and effective way to suppress reality benders.
It is also the reason why newcomers who are still unable to control their thinking are often fooled.
- Give them a set of fake theories that sound sound sound reasonable, and limit their abilities, so that it is easier to train.
A series of negative effects that Du You felt—dizziness, headaches, blurred thinking, etc.—were all distorted realities that he believed in and thus embodied in himself.
They believe that they should follow this false theory, and then the theory will come true, as will the constraints and negative harms described in it.
When the Type Green's abilities are applied to self and their kind, their effects are drastically reduced, and they are almost only able to make temporary changes, and are overwritten by other reality-bending effects.
But as long as they believe in this theory, they will always maintain this "temporary" distortion when they are awake, in order to achieve the perfect suppression of the self.
As for when you are not awake......
Unawake Type Greens are not a threat, they can be killed by any means that can kill a normal human.
Type Green reality benders are still human at heart, and they are all equally fragile and small.
……
"The SRA Stabilization Zone has been installed, and from now on, it is possible to ensure that the internal 'reality' of the Stabilization Zone will not be altered by external conditions. "The state agency that received the technology from Seven soon began mass production of the Scranton Reality Anchor and laid out an area for important information as quickly as possible.
It is said that it is mass production, but in fact, the production is pitifully small.
Because of the limited production of SRA's core materials, it was not possible to scale up production at all.
The idea of installing SRA to ensure the stability of the reality of the earth can be washed and slept all over the world.
And...... God knows how many versions the current reality has been updated to by the first few people, and if you accidentally stop on a "weird" version, it will be a big trouble.
The SRA is not one of those machines that can be switched on and off at will, it is an invisible force field in itself.
Theoretically, all human beings, nay, all minds with complex intelligence and self-awareness, have the potential to distort reality.
This is determined by the fundamental law that spirituality influences reality.
SRA is by amplifying the potential of this reality-distorting nature in the humans around it, and it is in reverse that it forcibly maintains the stability of reality.
It's just another layer of patches that won't be overwritten by later versions.
If there are countless potentials, why are reality benders still in the minority?
Again, it's the same sentence – cognition is everything.
Because the reality benders who already exist believe that "reality benders are in the minority".
So they're in the minority.
It doesn't matter who causes and who is the effect, after all, this is the current reality.
There is another important reason, which is the first stage of initial awakening, the Type Green self-suppression.
Many people's first reaction when they find out that they have caused some kind of supernatural, parascientific, super-mundane event is definitely disbelief.
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
It must have been dazzling just now.
That's right, I'm dreaming!
Such instinctive disbelief and denial will lead directly to their abilities being distorted and disappearing by themselves.
If you show it, you are ordinary people...... At best, they are "ordinary people" who are a little resistant to reality warping.
Those who fail to face reality will also turn away from reality, those who refuse to recognize their talents will be discarded by their talents, and those who deny their own existence will be distorted.
Reality benders have never been for anyone.
The Type Green died more at his own hands than at the hands of others.
