Chapter 25: The Author's Words of "Bloody Mary"
In the author's words at the end of the previous chapter, I wrote this chapter to tell you that after the last chapter was issued, someone added me Weibo and WeChat (there are in the introduction) to ask me if it was true or false, and I told you in a serious and responsible manner. I did try this version of BloodyMary, how to put it, the versions on the Internet are very simple, I tried it, and I didn't feel anything. And this version, I posted the previous chapter on July 11th.
And the version of BloodyMary I played was tried on the night of July 4th after I checked all kinds of information before I was ready to write this big chapter, and it felt really scary at the time, I should say that it was uncomfortable, and I wanted to vomit more. I also had nightmares at night. I'm not alarmist here, we're going to talk about science, I studied psychology before. summarized it, and by the way, I will give you some popular science knowledge.
First, why do you feel scared, scared, because first of all, this urban legend requires you to keep thinking about the image of a terrifying woman, and calling the name BloodyMary is actually to give yourself a psychological hint. Secondly, the water in the washbasin will reflect your facial features, and the other two mirrors will reflect your facial features from two different angles, which is equivalent to looking at your face from three angles, and you will gradually find that you don't recognize your own face.
Neurons in the brain perceive what they have seen for a long time as imaginary by default. For example, when a cloud or a stain on a wall is seen as a human face, the "facial" neurons in the brain react and unconsciously recognize it as a human face. In addition, there are also Chinese character neurons in the brain that are similar to facial neurons, and when you look at a Chinese character for a long time, the Chinese character neurons will become tired, which will affect the sensory function, and at this time, people will also doubt the form of familiar characters and feel that they do not look like or even become unrecognizable, which is the phenomenon of gestalt collapse.
Coupled with mental hints, it will naturally feel like the person you have in mind. That's why everyone sees different people or scenes when they play, because when they give themselves hints in their hearts, everyone thinks differently.
Second, why do you feel uncomfortable, cold sweats, want to vomit, and have nightmares? We know that in this version of the gameplay, you need to use blood. First of all, since ancient times, blood has been inseparable from summoning, memorials, etc., so when blood is dripped into the washbasin, and then placed with a bloody finger on the eyebrows of one's face in the mirror, it is a manifestation of autosuggestion, implying that it is a ritual, that it is "sacred", that it is "true" and "spiritual". With this hint.
As for wanting to vomit, uncomfortable, and other phenomena. It is because there are only two candles in the whole bathroom, which reflects the water that has been dyed red in the washbasin, causing the whole bathroom to be red, and another phenomenon will appear after a long time, that is, the phenomenon of complementary colors.
The so-called complementary color phenomenon, that is, staring at a large piece of red things, will produce visual fatigue, as we all know, the bathroom is mostly white, if you stare at the white place for a long time at this time, it will produce illusions. Students who study media should be no stranger to the color ring, and the red complementary color in the color ring is exactly green, so this is why doctors usually wear white coats, and during surgery, they will change to green coats, including the walls in hospitals and operating rooms, etc., which will be green, just to stop the phenomenon of visual fatigue caused by staring at blood red for a long time after surgery, so as to avoid vomiting, nausea, hallucinations and other situations.
And in our trial in this version, there is only red, white, and no green appears. Inevitably, there will be illusions, coupled with several strong mental hints from the former.
Eventually, hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, and later nightmares. These are all normal phenomena, it's not BloodyMary, it has nothing to do with Bloody Mary yarn, you just think about Super Mario, and these will also appear. So urban legends are basically evolved by using mental hints and some phenomena in life, but people usually don't pay attention to this aspect.
Since this book is a speculative novel, it is horror, supernatural, thriller, of course, it is necessary to rationally reason from a scientific point of view, of course, horror, supernatural, and thriller are indispensable, and after personal experience, I will update and modify it into new chapters, which not only makes this book not lack reasoning and life knowledge, but also makes this book full of supernatural and thriller, otherwise life is not a lot less fun. Ha ha!
So if you want to try it, I advise you not to try it, because it's very uncomfortable. It's really uncomfortable. After that, this book will involve a lot of urban legends, supernatural events in various places, etc., and I will follow this chapter, consult all kinds of information, find the most reliable way to test it myself, and rationally analyze and explain it to you. So, curious friends, follow me to explore, and my motivation is your support and companionship. If you like this book, you can share it with more friends! I hope more people can join in and explore the mysterious unknown together.
