Half an hour later, with Sonimo's notification, an energetic man and woman arrived, and the originally deserted club suddenly became lively.

As soon as this group of people came, they gathered in groups of three or five, laughing and playing with each other, and the community was filled with a happy atmosphere.

And every time these people asked Sonimo what he had discovered, Sonimo didn't answer directly, but said that he would wait for everyone to come and talk about it.

"Sannymo, you said you had a huge discovery, what the hell?"

It wasn't until the president Marcus arrived, that he looked at Sonimo who remained mysterious with a calm expression, and then asked.

As a president, he always had to show a calm personality and convincing ability, and his efforts were indeed rewarded, and many people in the community had a deep respect for him, which was very difficult to achieve among his peers.

Hearing Marcus's question, Sonimo said obediently, "Marcus, I discovered this huge discovery by accident, and I suspect that I have found a pattern with hypnotic powers, which can affect the human subconscious mind and make people have nightmares one after another. ”

"Oh?"

Marcus glanced at Sonimo when he heard this, and saw that Sonimo was indeed holding an A4 piece of paper in his hand, which seemed to be printed on it, so he smiled and said, "You shouldn't say that this is the pattern in your hand." ”

Sonimo nodded.

Seeing this, Marcus continued, "Sonimo, I have said many times, the amount of information carried by pictures is not large, it is far from enough to use it as a tool for hypnosis, and in the application of psychology, it can only be used as a suggestive condition at most, if it is used for hypnosis, the songs at the auditory level are much more effective than the pictures at the visual level. ”

Sonimo shook his head and said firmly, "Marcus, if you said this before, I absolutely agree, but now it is different, this pattern in my hand is definitely unusual, I can detect it from the first moment I see it!" ”

"Then let me see."

Seeing this, Marcus did not refute again, but reached out and put his hand in front of Sonimo's eyes.

Sonimo hesitated for a moment, but finally put the drawing in Marcus's hands.

Marcus smiled and spread out the pattern in his hand, and at the same time, a group of community members also hurriedly gathered.

Immediately, a strange-looking man's face appeared in front of everyone......

The moment they saw this picture, everyone present was stunned, and in an instant, the entire community became silent, but this scene didn't even take two seconds, and the next moment it was diluted by the fiery atmosphere of the club.

"Is this the picture?"

"I don't see anything special except for the weirdness."

"Maybe it involves the language of higher psychology, or maybe its origin itself is a hint?"

"He's so ugly......"

"Hahaha!"

For a while, everyone started talking about it, and everyone commented on the picture in front of them to express their fearlessness.

Out of the crowd, only Marcus and a few of them groaned.

"Where did you get this picture from?"

Marcus suddenly turned his head and asked at Sonimo.

"I drew it myself."

Possessiveness made Sonimo reluctant to name the forum, so he slurred, "I named it Dream Man, and now it's important that we understand if he's a hypnotic picture, isn't it?" I'm sure you had a special feeling in your heart the moment you saw him, right? ”

"Maybe it's because he's so weird."

One man suddenly explained, "I did feel something strange the moment I saw it, but I think it's a hint, first you hint at us, make us think it's mysterious, and then when you show it, we're all stunned because we are caught off guard, and that's why we have a special feeling in our hearts." ”

This view immediately drew support.

"In the final analysis, it's the relationship that takes the lead, and this picture seems to involve the 'uncanny valley' phenomenon, which is the reason why we have weirdness in our hearts."

Another girl followed.

The so-called "uncanny valley" is actually a hypothesis about human feelings about robots and non-human objects - the human affection for a certain anthropomorphic thing (robots, movies, anime characters, etc.) is displayed according to the curve graph, because the anthropomorphic thing and human beings are similar in appearance and action, so humans will have positive emotions towards robots, and this emotional value will increase with the higher the similarity between that anthropomorphic thing and humans.

However, when the similarity between anthropomorphic things and humans reaches a certain value, human reactions to them will suddenly become extremely negative, even if there is only a slight difference between anthropomorphic things and humans, it will appear very conspicuous and dazzling, causing people to have disgust and even fear emotions, and at this time, the curve of emotional values plummets.

And when the similarity between anthropomorphic things and human beings continues to rise, equivalent to the similarity between ordinary people, human emotions towards them will return to the positive again, resulting in empathy between humans and humans, which is equivalent to the emotional curve rising in a straight line, and rising to a level similar to the previous peak.

As a result, there is such a scenario: the curve of human emotions towards anthropomorphic things rises slowly at the beginning to a rapid decline in the middle, and then rises again at the end, and a "Great Rift Valley" appears in the middle of the curve.

And this Great Rift Valley is known as the "Uncanny Valley" effect, which refers to the fact that some anthropomorphic things are too human-like, but they are different from people, so in the human senses, they will feel that the other person's appearance is extraordinary, dazzling, and so on......

And the reason given by this person is the uncanny valley effect.

"I'll admit, it's ugly, but I swear, it's not the uncanny valley."

Sonimo shook his head, extremely disappointed, he didn't expect everyone to believe him, so he had to take the pattern back from Marcus, and then turned and walked towards the outside of the community.

"The only way to verify it, you just have to wait until after tonight."

After saying this, Sonimo walked straight out of the club, and everyone kept shouting behind him and ignored it.

Only Marcus silently savored the creepy feeling before, and gradually, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

……

By lunchtime, the crowd had dispersed, and as the last person to leave closed the door of the club, the entire venue fell into silence.

But the silence lasted only a few minutes, and soon, as the door of the bathroom creaked, the door slowly opened, and a blonde girl stepped out of it.

The girl was the one who had come up with the uncanny valley theory before, and she first looked around to make sure that there was no one in the community at all, and then quickly walked to the computer and began to retrieve the printed documents from earlier.

Soon, there was a look of gratitude in the girl's eyes, and as soon as she pressed the print button slightly, the printer squeaked again, and a pattern was printed at the same time.

That's the weird face from before. Haha Literature Network

Seeing this scene, the girl picked up the pattern with satisfaction and was just about to leave, but at the moment of turning around, she suddenly found that a tall person was behind her at some point!

"Ahh

The girl sat down to the ground suddenly, and until this time she could see that it was the president Marcus standing behind her.

"Marcus, what are you sneaking around behind me?"

The girl stood up angrily, and at the same time subconsciously hid the paper in her hand behind her.

"There's no need to hide it, I've seen it."

Marcus stretched out his hand and snatched the pattern from the girl's hand, while calmly saying, "It's a very immoral thing to print other people's unauthorized items without permission. ”

"I'm just curious."

The girl hurriedly wanted to take it back, but she couldn't grab it, so she had to stomp her feet, and then her eyes rolled, and she immediately smiled, "Mr. President, why haven't you gone back?" ”

"I'm just going to clean up."

Marcus replied, putting away the pattern in his hand and preparing to pick up the broom beside him.

"Marcus, you haven't left yet, aren't you also for that weird picture of Sonimo?"

The girl made a condition, and at the same time persuaded, "Okay, I'll play another one, let's take our own, and no one should say it, how about it?" ”

Marcus hesitated slightly, then nodded, agreed, and left the community.

It wasn't until he walked out of the club and on the way to the campus that Marcus took out the pattern again, and he couldn't help but have a look of contemplation in his eyes as he looked at the strange faces in the pattern.

The reason why he stayed at the end of the club, and even broke the girl who stayed for a long time, was because he felt a special feeling on this picture.

It was a feeling of coldness and weirdness, and the moment he saw the picture, he seemed to see the face talking to him, and at the same time there seemed to be a whisper in his ear.

This is a feeling that no film, book, or painting can do, and perhaps, as Sonimo says, is a pattern that can hypnotize the human spirit.

So he was the last one to leave the community.

But now it seems that in the entire community, except for Sonimo, only himself and Molly feel the extraordinaryness of this pattern, and the others don't seem to feel it at all, otherwise they wouldn't be disdainful of this mysterious pattern......

Thinking of this, Marcus returned to the dormitory, he recalled Sonimo's previous words, so he simply put the pattern away and lay directly on the bed.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, ready to use his sleep to verify if it was all true, or if it was just Sonimo's words.

Gradually, Marcus fell asleep.

……

"Who are you?"

Marcus looked around, and he was on a desolate road, walking alone, surrounded by a fog that he couldn't reach.

At the far end of the road, a black figure stood silently not far away.

The black figure had extremely slender limbs, as if they were only skinny and bone-like, but unlike his limbs, he had a huge head, which was placed on his body, showing an extreme sense of incongruity.

Seeing this, the strangeness of the scene made Marcus stop vigilantly, he stood still, and said to the dark shadow in front of him, "Who are you?" ”

"Rustling ......"

There was a movement in the mist, and at the same time, the figure began to move slowly, getting closer to Marcus.

Marcus wanted to escape, but at this moment he only felt that he was standing in a puddle of asphalt, and no matter how he moved, he was firmly adhered to the ground, unable to move the slightest.

So, he could only watch as the black shadow slowly approached......

10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters......

As the figure got closer and closer, Marcus became more and more frightened, and he seemed to instinctively understand that this person who was approaching him was not a good person!

At the moment when the other party was only three or four meters away from him, finally, the black shadow revealed his face, and while seeing this face, Marcus couldn't help but gasp!

Dream man!

For some reason, the name popped into Marcus's mind, and he screamed, and the whole world shook rapidly, like a landslide!

The dream collapses!

A faint realization appeared in his heart, and at this moment, Marcus suddenly regained consciousness from the dream, he looked at the dream man who was still standing in front of him in shock, and suddenly said, "Who are you!" ”

This question has a completely different meaning from the previous question......

"I am not who I am, I am who I am, I am you, I am everyone in the world......"

However, an amazing scene appeared, the strange man in front of him did not make any moves to hurt him, but said directly, "And now, I am the embodiment of your dreams and unknown fears. ”

After hearing this, Marcuston showed a shocked expression, for some reason, his emotions in the dream turned out to be more flexible and rich than reality, he suddenly raised his head and asked again, "Why did you appear?" ”

"Didn't you make me show up?"

The strange man replied solemnly, "Because your heart wants me to appear, that's why I will appear, it's as simple as that." ”

Marcus took a deep breath, and he only felt as if he had been inspired by some kind of inner inspiration, and the words of the other party seemed to be simple, but they were extremely profound, and even made his soul tremble......

So, he finally couldn't help it and sent out a final inquiry, "You...... Are you God? ”

"God?"

Hearing this, the corners of the strange man's mouth seemed to curl even more, and he said noncommittally, "You can think of me as a god, because there is no difference between me and God, he exists in the hearts of believers, and so do I." ”
