This perception of one's own existence is what is called "soul" in the religious sense.

Although the brain consciousness of vegetative patients has lost the ability to think, their cognition of their own existence does not disappear because of this, but only sinks from the surface consciousness into a deeper subconscious.

What Li Mengnan has to do now is to recognize Ju Xiaoxing's self-existence, which may be more appropriately represented by "soul" here, find it out from the subconscious, and guide her to put those chaotic memory fragments back together little by little.

"That's right, your name is Ju Xiaoxing, you are a beautiful girl, you are a sophomore at Tunghai University, you have a happy home, care about your parents, and your best friends who are like sisters...... Do you remember? ”

Ninety-nine percent of human memories are stored in the subconscious, and the memory of the main consciousness is just similar to a catalog index, any so-called amnesia or memory confusion, in fact, what is really lost and confused is only the directory in the main consciousness, and the real memory is difficult to completely disappear.

However, Ju Xiaoxing's reaction was quite strange, with a trace of confusion on her delicate face, her eyeballs moving rapidly under her eyelids, and her tone seemed to be a little flustered.

"I don't know...... It's so dark here, I can't see anything, I can't hear anything, I'm so scared......"

Ju Xiaoxing's body suddenly struggled desperately, and the violent movements broke free of the oxygen mask on his face.

"Quick, help me hold her down!" Li Mengnan shouted loudly to Wu Ansu.

Wu Ansu's reaction was fast enough, and as soon as Li Mengnan spoke, she had already rushed to the hospital bed, grabbed one of Ju Xiaoxing's wrists with one hand, and pressed the oxygen mask back on her face with the other.

"What the hell is going on? Is this reaction normal for her? ”

Li Mengnan didn't bother to answer Wu Ansu's question at the moment, he pressed Ju Xiaoxing's other hand hard, pressed down the resistance of her body roughly, and said to the paper tube: "Don't be afraid, this is your own room, and there is a switch on your right hand...... That's right, that's the light switch, and now you turn it on. ”

Li Mengnan's expression was a little hideous due to excessive force, but his tone was as gentle as a sympathetic whisper, and the strong contrast looked extremely strange.

Ju Xiaoxing quickly quieted down, and his body stopped struggling.

Wu Ansu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to let go, and asked, "What happened just now?" ”

Li Mengnan waved his hand to signal that Wu Ansu could let go, sat on the chair and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, explaining: "Just as people become lazy and slack when they have nothing to do for a long time, the human soul will gradually fall into a deep sleep after losing the source ......of information that can be processed."

"Sleeping?"

"Well, this is a kind of self-protection mechanism for the brain by human beings, otherwise can you imagine what it would be like to be in a blank world with a clear consciousness that has no outside information at all?"

Wu Ansu was shocked into a cold sweat by the picture described by Li Mengnan, it is estimated that it should be similar to the feeling of closing a small black room in the army, and it is definitely a rhythm that drives people crazy.

"Every time I see a protagonist in an online novel who has been locked up in a closed space for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, I feel very ******, not to mention thousands of years, even if it is only locked up for one year, it is enough to lock up a healthy person alive and become an idiot...... If I still believe in sleeping and want to cultivate, I can only say hehe. ”

Seeing that Wu Ansu's face was not good, Li Mengnan also realized that the topic was far away, smiled casually, and continued: "What I just did was to wake up Ju Xiaoxing's self-consciousness from his deep sleep.

If it were a normal person, theoretically she would directly float to the surface consciousness state, and she could wake up if she went further, but because Ju Xiaoxing's surface consciousness had been destroyed, she could only stay in a deeper subconscious now.

The subconscious mind itself is like a warehouse, although there are some memories, but compared to its huge capacity, that memory can only occupy a small corner at most.

What happens when you wake up in a space that's too big to see? That's basically what Ju Xiaoxing felt from his self-consciousness just now......"

"Then why did her love come down after you said those words later?" Every time he thought of the scene just now, Wu Ansu would feel amazing.

"For this, if you explain it concretely, even professionals sometimes get dizzy, I might as well give you an analogy."

Li Mengnan pulled up the quilt on the hospital bed and temporarily covered Ju Xiaoxing's exposed ** body.

After waking up from a deep slumber, self-awareness requires a period of stabilization, which is not suitable for immediate restorative guidance.

"You know how computers work, right? If the human self-consciousness is compared to the operator in front of the computer, then the surface consciousness is the screen, keyboard and mouse, and the subconscious mind is the large pieces inside the chassis...... If you don't have a keyboard and mouse, can you type commands into your computer? If you don't give you a screen, can you know what number the computer is sending to you? ”

Wu Ansu shook his head again and again, and people and computers don't have a common number jù excuse, this kind of thing will definitely not be possible.

In this way, only when the surface consciousness converts information into signals that the subconscious can accept, the human self-consciousness can be connected and instructed to communicate with the subconscious...... Now Ju Xiaoxing's situation is like the computer's operating system has been lost, and all she is facing is a computer language composed of 1 and 0, and what I am doing now is to build a conscious environment for her to understand in a small area. ”

"I always thought you could wake her up."

Although Wu Ansu still didn't seem to understand, she also vaguely felt that Li Mengnan's treatment process was much more complicated than she expected.

Li Mengnan smiled dumbly, shook his head after a moment and said, "How is this possible?" I'm just a trickster, not a real fairy...... And even if there are really immortals, they may not be able to do such a thing. ”

"Is it that hard?" It was the first time Wu Ansu had seen Li Mengnan so unconfident in something.

"In fact, the human subconscious has another name - a forbidden area that even God cannot touch
