"What?!"

Qi Lin was instantly stunned...... Although it is said that if you die three times in the game, you will be removed from the shelter, but no matter what, Qi Lin has never heard of anyone who will die directly in the game pod - except, of course, starving to death.

"What's going on? Is it so likely that death in the game is related to the real world? Ivan, tell me about it, what are the obvious characteristics of those three dead mutants, could it be the accidental cause of the power leakage in the game cabin or something? Qi Lin asked with some reluctance.

"No, their game pod is working fine...... However, they all have one thing in common, which is that the expressions on their faces are very distorted...... In my experience, it's very likely that they were ...... alive Scared to death or painful. ”

Scared? Painful death?

The corners of Qi Lin's mouth twitched unnaturally, it stands to reason that the degree of pain in the game cannot break through the limits of human physiology, because when the pain exceeds a certain level, the self-protection mechanism in the human body will make people coma directly, so it is absolutely impossible for the body to die without injury.

Moreover, mutants have been living in the torment of mutant bodies for a long time, and they should have been accustomed to pain for a long time, so the possibility of painful death can basically be ruled out.

As for scared to death......

Qi Lin suddenly thought of a famous psychological experiment.

Several psychologists, with the help of the police and the courts, found a criminal who was about to be executed and took him to a small dark room.

The police and psychologists tied the offender to a bed, then stretched the offender's arm out of the bed and fixed it, using a partition to separate the offender's view so that he could not see his wrist.

"According to the crimes you have committed, you will be executed by slitting your wrist artery with a scalpel and leaving you to die with a dead stream of blood." The psychologist said to the offender, shook a sharp scalpel in front of the offender's eyes, and then lightly slashed the artery in the offender's wrist through the partition.

However, this knife did not cut the blood vessels of the criminals, only broke a little skin, and did not even shed much blood.

However, the psychologists placed a metal disc behind the partition and used a drip to drip water into the basin drop by drop, pretending that blood was dripping, and occasionally saying something like "how many milliliters have flowed out", "half a basin has been saved" and so on to irritate the criminal.

At first, the criminal's face was still full of horror, and his body was constantly struggling, and after ten minutes, he could only widen his eyes in despair and let out heavy breathing.

Eventually, the criminal's face grew paler and his breathing became weaker and weaker - after a few hours of experimentation, the criminal's heart, which had only been cut through a layer of epidermis with a scalpel, suddenly stopped!

He died, and he scared himself to death in this terrifying atmosphere!

Qi Lin suddenly felt that it was very likely that the three of Tarkov died for this reason - the process of the parasite worm burrowing into the host's brain was too real and too painful, which couldn't help but make the three people have the illusion of being in reality, and when the worm invaded the brain, the brain subconsciously made a judgment of "dead", and this judgment was brought to the real body.

Then, the brain stopped working, the breathing and heartbeat stopped, and the three men died alive in the game pod.

Qi Lin told Ivan about his guess, and Ivan's face was also very ugly. Originally, with the fact that mutants can be resurrected indefinitely, they can try the "Raiders" of the ninth warehouse an infinite number of times.

This game world is like a "training mode", and they will only apply it to real combat after they have figured out the successful method and mastered it, but now, they have found that the death of the original "training mode" has become a real death, and there is no chance to start again.

If Ivan were to continue exploring Warehouse Nine, the final outcome would be for all of the mutants to die in the game world, and in the real world they all died in their own game pods.

"Isn't there a way to avoid it? After all, we all know that this is a virtual game world, and we all know that being killed and parasitized by worms in the game will not affect the real world, but why ......"

"I think it's hard to avoid that in the first few seconds when the brain is killed by an invading parasitic worm, the human brain itself will fall into a state of extreme chaos, in which unless you have extremely strong mental power and willpower, it is very likely that your mind will be confused, confusing the boundaries between virtual and reality, and eventually causing the brain to make wrong judgments." Qi Lin said word by word, although these were just speculations, he had a feeling that this was very close to the real cause of death of Tarkov and the three of them.

"That's right! I remember that there were not just three of them who were parasitized by parasitic worms, but how many others? Didn't something happen to them? ”

“…… No, no. Ivan shook his head.

"Ivan, do you recall carefully, is it only Tarkov and the three of them who were parasitized in a living state - or rather, in a conscious state, while the other mutants who did not have an accident in reality were all parasitized by parasitic worms after dying in battle first, turned into corpses and then parasitized by parasitic worms?" Qi Lin asked quickly.

Ivan thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It seems to be like this!" ”

"Then there's a way! You see, those mutants who have died, in fact, the spiritual consciousness is already waiting for resurrection in the dark space, and the corpse left in the game has nothing to do with him, just a bunch of data that simulates his appearance, at this time, even if it is parasitized, it is not a big deal, it will not affect the body in reality at all. And when Tarkov was parasitized, this virtual data body was still connected to their mental consciousness, in other words, it was sharing the same brain with their real body. ”

"As long as you choose to cut yourself off before being completely parasitized by parasitic worms, you won't cause any harm to your body in reality - of course, it must be fast!" Qi Lin said categorically.

"You mean, you usually find yourself parasitized and kill yourself?" Ivan repeated.

"That's right, anyway, the mastermind has given you mutants an unlimited chance to resurrect, as long as the body is okay in reality, then it doesn't matter how many times you die in the game."
